Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 314

Persuading him to give up helping Zhuo Shouqing was the first step.

If that failed, they would switch to intimidation. If he did not enter the Blood Abyss and missed this opportunity, the role he could play in the future would be limited.

Sowing discord between him and Zhuo Shouqing was the second step.

After all, this matter could be blamed on him.

Death threats were the third step. There was no Crimson Kite Cultivator who did not fear death. At the same time, it let them reveal a bit of their strength, carrying a sense of coercion.

The fourth step was their most important goal.

To disrupt Wang Yu and Zhuo Shouqingʼs strategy.

This immovable strategy seemed to have taken effect. It indirectly proved that their previous deduction was correct. Zhuo Shouyun was struggling to gather so many helpers.

Su Yulong being so familiar with this tactic, and sending him here, was only natural.

He wanted Wang Yu to panic as well.
If they could really lure them to the Elephant Mountain Duan Clanʼs territory, their goal would be fully achieved.

Wang Yu was unmoved. He would definitely enter the Blood Abyss.

As for Fu Xiao’s threats, they were not worth mentioning. The other person was already more than four hundred, nearly five hundred years old. He had no qualifications to enter the Blood Abyss Sacred Land.

On another front.

He felt that the turning point Zhuo Shouqing was waiting for was about to arrive. Otherwise, the other side would not be so eager to approach him. The situation was still within controllable bounds.

Delay if possible.

That night, Wang Yu used a transmission jade talisman to contact Zhuo Shouqing, exchanged information, and continued to stabilize his sideʼs morale, advising him to avoid going outside.

They only needed to wait for the Blood Abyss to open.

Several days passed.

Yu Tangtang rode her Tricolored Dragon Sparrow to Cold Blood Peak. Besides informing him about matters from the Alchemy Hall, she also delivered a batch of materials for refining puppets and a new request for pills.

”Father said the Alchemy Hallʼs situation should be completely resolved. He went personally to talk again.”

”I understand.”

Wang Yu rubbed Yu Tangtangʼs head and withdrew his hand before she became annoyed, then asked:

”Sister Tangtang, I heard the sect’s Blood Abyss Sacred Land is about to open. Are you going?”

”Blood Abyss...”

Yu Tangtang rubbed her fair chin and spoke solemnly, ”Not going, not going. Are you going?”

”Yes. I heard cultivation can be easily advanced inside the Blood Abyss. Do you know anything about this?”

Yu Tangtang’s large eyes rolled about, then she thumped her chest.

”Of course Tangtang knows. I will not tell you now. I will tell you next time I come.”

”Alright.”

Wang Yu felt helpless. Although Yu Tangtang was nearly a hundred years old, her mind had not matured due to her childlike body. It seemed she cultivated some kind of secret art.

But she actually hid many secrets. Wang Yu did not want to pry for the time being. The truth was he did not know the details of the Blood Abyss, and she was only acting so as not to lose face.

A little bean sprout who cares about appearances.

After playing with Yu Tangtang for a while, he sent her off.

He planned to visit Zhuo Shouqing in a few days and acquire all Blood Abyss-related information before planning his next stage.

According to his original plan, continuing to seclude himself and refine the Guanghan Pill was the fastest way to advance his cultivation.

However.

With the Blood Abyss opening, he did not intend to miss this opportunity.

Next, Wang Yu began checking the resources for refining the puppet. A fourth-rank puppet could not be made in a single day, especially since the power of the Yellow Springs Demonic Bone was severely depleted.

Fortunately, he had acquired a large amount of Yellow Springs Crystals and Azure Firmament Crystals in the Burial Pit Secret Realm. These could replenish the Yellow Springs Demonic Bone’s power, since all three originated from the same source.

According to the secret methods recorded in the Earth Resentment Puppet Masterʼs Scripture, it should be possible to nourish and replenish it. Moreover, Wang Yu possessed more than one method.

Three zhang beneath Cold Blood Peakʼs cave mansion.

Because he was within the sectʼs mountain gate, he could not dig deeper, so he only opened a hidden chamber at that depth.

Using fengshui secret arts from the Earth Mother Scripture, he placed the Fengshui Compass as the core of the formation, used several third-rank formation flags, and arranged the Earth Qi Ascension Fengshui Formation.

This knowledge was also referenced in the Yin Fiend Corpse Refinement Art, for instance the Two Forms Corpse Refinement Formation, but now that he was qualified to be an Earth Master, things were different.

With the Fengshui Compass and formation flags, he could omit many complicated materials and steps. The duration was also longer.

Back then, preparing two blood pools nearly exhausted him.

Now he only needed to insert the flags and cast the secret method. Within his abilities, whatever formation he wished to set down appeared as he pleased.

It was incomparable to the past.

Once the temporary fengshui formation was ready, Wang Yu placed the Yellow Springs Demonic Bone at the center and arranged the Yellow Springs Azure Firmament Crystals at each node according to the formation layout.

The skeletal remains sat cross-legged. The Yellow Springs and Azure Firmament aura, along with the abundant Earth Qi rising from underground, quickly nourished the bones.

With accompanying hand seals.

He used the refining puppet seal from the Earth Resentment Puppet Masterʼs Scripture. Wang Yu then selected Yin Thread Silver Essence, Yellowrock Bone Marrow, Waterfire Spirit Liquid, and other spiritual materials from the items Yu Tangtang brought.

Using Samadhi True Fire, he tempered them and fused them into the Yellow Springs Demonic Bone.

[T/N: I previously mightʼve mistranslated Samadhi Fire as Three Flavour Fire cause of their similar character, Sorry about that, itʼll be translated as ”Samadhi” from now on]

Thus.

The bone visibly grew dense silver threads. These threads formed the structure of muscles.

With the injection of Yellowrock Bone Marrow, the bones emitted Yellow Springs demonic qi.

”Demonic Qi.”

Wang Yu’s eyes lit up. It was said that only after becoming a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator could one truly step into the demonic path. The reason lay here.

The Yellow Springs Demonic Bone was the remains of a Nascent Soul cultivator. This extremely special demonic qi was naturally present. To restore its foundation and rank, the most important thing was this Yellow Springs Demonic Qi.

His hand seal changed. The Waterfire Spirit Liquid transformed into a red and a blue light sphere. The Yellow Springs Azure Firmament Crystals placed earlier were drained of power one after another.

Their power flowed through the light spheres before being absorbed by the skeleton.

The thin wisps of demonic qi, having received a supplement of power from the same source, slowly began to grow. However, many puppet runes fluttering up and down had now appeared within it.

”It is done.”

At this point, Wang Yu had achieved all the goals of this round of puppet refinement. Since the Earth Resentment Puppet Master Scripture was not yet perfected, he planned to complete the preliminary preparations first.

Refining an early fourth-rank Earth Resentment Puppet required an enormous amount of time. For now, letting it maintain its current state was enough. He only needed to periodically replace the two types of crystals.

The power of the fengshui formation could nurture perfect puppet-refining materials more quickly and effectively.

”Snowjade.”

”Awroo.”

The massive fox, whose body was over thirty meters long when fully grown, shrank to two meters and happily ran down from the corridor entrance. Its fur shimmered with oily luster.

The environment of Cold Blood Peak was very suitable for its cultivation.

With the token Wang Yu had given it, it could travel freely through most of Cold Blood Peak. During this period, it had befriended many of the spirit beasts raised by other elders.

Seeing it behave so adorably, Wang Yu helplessly rubbed its head.

”You little rascal. The Cold Pool opportunity, the Dragon Vein baptism, supreme-grade spirit pills eaten like candy. Ordinary cultivators do not get this many chances. Hurry up and break through to Core Formation.”

The three-tailed snow fox whimpered aggrievedly. Its cultivation speed was already extremely fast. It had reached late second-rank despite being barely a hundred years old.

Adding to that, the demon essence pills Wang Yu had extorted from the Blood-Eyed Demon Flood Dragon had all gone into its stomach. Given ten years, it would certainly reach the peak of second-rank.

When that time came, breaking into third-rank would be easy. At that stage, it would be able to speak human language and awaken its innate divine ability and demon treasure. Its combat strength would drastically increase and it would definitely be able to assist Wang Yu.

”Forget it.”

Scratching Snowjade’s neck, Wang Yu pointed to the Yellow Springs Demonic Bone.

”Guard this place for me. If something goes wrong, use this sound transmission jade talisman to contact me.”

”Awoo.”

Having arranged the matters inside the cave abode, he did not retrieve the Fengshui Compass for now. With it stationed here, the fengshui formation would be even more stable.

The initial refinement of the puppet only took a few days.

Now was the perfect time to visit Zhuo Shouqing. He needed to learn the opening schedule of the Blood Abyss, the information, and the participants beforehand. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one remain invincible in a hundred battles.

…

…

At the entrance of the Law Enforcement Hall of Evil God Square.

A soft couch was placed openly in the middle of the dozen steps leading up to the hall.

Anyone who passed by would inevitably give it a glance.

Only a thin veil covered it. Inside, several curvaceous women could be vaguely seen serving a single man.

Such a spectacle could only be orchestrated by Zhuo Shouqing.

Ever since he began implementing the strategy of immovable endurance, he could clearly feel the pressure Zhuo Shouyun exerted on him from multiple directions. Calling it patience was not accurate. It was more like lying flat and refusing to act.

It was as if he was saying: ”Hah. I have the protection of the Ancestor Liezu. As long as I do not make a move, there is nothing you can do to me, Zhuo Shouyun.”

It was the truth.

Later, after learning that Lu Chenzhou was waiting for him outside the Law Enforcement Hall, he simply moved his bed out in public and indulged in debauchery in broad daylight.

Yes, this was exactly something he would do.

Zhuo Shouqing was provoking his enemy.

It was a crude provocation tactic, yet its effect was astonishing.

In the tall building to the right of the Law Enforcement Hall entrance, Lu Chenzhou stood on the viewing platform, gripping a glass cup with a dark expression. His narrowed eyes revealed a killing intent that could not be ignored.

Since making the deal with Zhuo Shouyun, he had personally waited here to catch Zhuo Shouqing.

However, the results were unsatisfactory.

His opponent could be even more ”turtle-like” than he anticipated. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Zhuo Shouqing had endured for so many years. There was no reason he could not endure now.

This was one of the few personality traits in which he had an advantage over Zhuo Shouyun.

He was simply more shameless.

Crack.

The wine cup shattered in Lu Chenzhou’s hand. After being provoked for days, he could no longer endure. He was about to explode.

Before the Law Enforcement Hall.

Several inner sect disciples in the Qi Refining stage were eagerly watching the shadows behind the veil, observing techniques of astonishing skill. The sounds rising and falling with perfect rhythm stirred their imaginations.

”Brother Yang, do you think he is cultivating some special technique?”

”Probably.”

The cultivator surnamed Yang was unsure, but another disciple said, ”I heard that some cultivation techniques can use emotions to drastically increase cultivation speed. Do you think this is…”

Gulp.

A sound of swallowing echoed from their throats.

”Could he have some strange fetish?”

”Shh.”

”Keep watching. Maybe he will feel like inviting us to join…”

”No way. I heard he is one of the Three Young Masters. This has been going on for several days. No one has ever been invited in.”

”Wait, are you serious?”

There were six or seven of them, and no one knew what thoughts were running through their minds.

In the next moment.

A blood-red figure charged toward them. The aura of a Core Formation peak cultivator was terrifying. He slammed into them head-on, turning their bodies into blood mist instantly. Not even scraps remained.
