Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 543 - 462: What? The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch Appointed Me as the Saint Heir?

However, given that Su Yuan and Zhu Qingqing only killed Demon Cultists, Gui Yuan ultimately didn’t say anything.

Moreover, she was just a small character who broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage today, how could she have a say in front of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and a Golden Core Peak Demon Star?

She was very worried that if she accidentally displeased Su Yuan, she would be eaten by this very evil very evil great Demon in one bite.

And just as she was trying her best to remain silent, Su Yuan suddenly turned his gaze towards her.

"By the way, there’s still a lot of power stored in the Corruption Golden Core, just right for you to take in."

Upon hearing this, the young girl, who had a heart of justice since childhood, suddenly turned pale.

"No... no need, I’ll cultivate myself."

She had heard from others that accepting a Demon’s cultivation empowerment would make her body and soul uncontrollable, and cast her into the abyss of sin forever.

"Little Yuan, don’t be bound by old notions. There’s nothing wrong with using this Demon Cultivators’ power as resources to become stronger."

"Only by becoming stronger can you better uphold peace and implement the justice in your heart, isn’t it?"

Su Yuan coaxed persuasively.

After accepting your gift, the peace I uphold, is it true peace or simply the peace you, Su Yuan, envision? It’s hard to say.

Gui Yuan thought silently but didn’t dare to voice it out.

Currently opposing Old Demon Su is really unwise, might as well falsely flatter him, stay by his side, supervising his actions.

With a firm resolve to offer herself to the tiger, Gui Yuan nodded heavily.

In the next moment, a rough burst of power poured into her body, impacting her dantian like a tide, her body, her mind.

The young girl struggled to endure this tremendous force, like a lone leaf floating in a raging storm.

Within a few breaths, her cultivation soared from the Foundation Establishment First Layer to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer in one go.

The sudden surge of power left Gui Yuan momentarily confused, even intoxicated.

The feeling of getting rapidly stronger without effort seemed like a poison, making her addicted.

"Digest this boosted cultivation over a week, a week later, I’ll take you to advance to the Golden Core."

Su Yuan’s enchanting voice echoed in the young girl’s ear.

Gui Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to refuse.

But the temptation of speedrunning to Golden Core kept the words of refusal stuck in her throat.

"Golden Core... only after reaching the Golden Core Realm can I better supervise Su Yuan."

The girl hurriedly reconciled in her heart, choosing silence.

She slightly digested the rapidly surged cultivation, then pulled out a golden apple from her dantian, somewhat curiously asking:

"Young master, what is this?"

"During the progression from Foundation Establishment First Layer to Ninth Layer, there sprouted nine such fruits on my Spiritual Root, can this be eaten?"

Seeing the golden apple taken out by Gui Yuan, Su Yuan and Zhu Qingqing looked at each other in speechless understanding.

How could you, a hastily attained Foundation Establishment Peak, manage to bear nine golden apples in a row?

What does that make my previous effort of slowly absorbing the Demon Qi of the King’s Assistant Demon and cultivating the Unique Level Divine Technique Demon Cloud Divine Thunder?

Is this the gap between genius and ordinary people this vast?

After a moment of silence, Su Yuan ultimately did not covet Gui Yuan’s golden apple, instead, patiently teaching her how to merge the nine golden apples into one, then consume it to obtain the divine technique inside.

With Su Yuan’s guidance, Gui Yuan successfully mastered a powerful Law Dao Divine Technique—Holy Word.

This was a Unique Level Divine Technique which allows proclaiming laws enforced by heaven within a certain range of beings.

This divine technique, whether under the shadow of the Saint Law Celestial Monarch or on Gui Yuan’s own person, Su Yuan had seen before.

As for why there could be three Unique Level Divine Techniques?

One is the original, one is the replicate, and one is the illusion version, very reasonable.

And Gui Yuan’s outstanding talent also sparked some expectations in him.

If in one year, he could properly tame... ahem, educate this girl to the Divinity Transformation Stage, would she directly blow up the Taixu World or absorb power from the other three Divinity Transformations?

If it really were so, the difficulty of my path would be greatly reduced.

Of course, this was just an impractical thought, almost impossible to realize in practice.

Better to focus on the real plan at hand.

"From now on, Zhu Yan Bai Guan is under the jurisdiction of the Guiyuan Sect."

Su Yuan looked towards Zhu Qingqing, who was cozy with her ancestor, instructing:

"You go spread the banner of the Primordial Sect, let the world know that our Primordial Sect has burst onto the scene."

Upon hearing this command, the corners of Zhu Qingqing’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, reluctantly saying:

"Boss, the entire Zhu Yan White Bone Observation is just me, making me promote the Primordial Sect alone is really tiring."

Su Yuan said indifferently:

"Don’t you still have so many puppets? After your fellow disciples were wiped out, their puppets belong to you."

Zhu Qingqing: "But don’t I still have to control all those puppets? In the end, it’s still me working alone."

Su Yuan patted her shoulder, saying:

"Bear with it, a Nascent Soul Stage body isn’t easy to come by. If you perform well, I might even manifest your Grandmaster for you."

Zhu Qingqing immediately stood at attention, "To promote the glory of the Primordial Sect is our inescapable duty."

Seeing his Artifact Spirit eagerly running off to tidy up the situation, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, the most important skill for a boss is the ability to spin tales.

As for whether Zhu Qingqing might develop rebellious thoughts after acquiring a Nascent Soul Stage body and a Nascent Soul Stage puppet...

Su Yuan, of course, had already taken precautions.

—In reality, her soul is still the Artifact Spirit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. As long as I destroy the banner, no matter how strong her body is, she would still perish.

Moreover, if I were to die, Zhu Qingqing would also be left to wait for her doom in the Taixu World. All she has gained would become mere illusions, so why would she dare to let me die?

Leaving Zhu Qingqing to work outside, Su Yuan took his maid Gui Yuan and moved into the residence of the Old Temple Master to rest.

Three days later.

Thanks to Zhu Qingqing’s efforts, news spread rapidly throughout the Reincarnation Nether Realm that she had taken on the role of the new Observatory Master of the Zhu Yan Bai Guan Observation and had surrendered to a new rising force known as the Primordial Sect.

Not only Zhu Yan Bai Guan Observation, but the Profound Sound Sect also declared its allegiance to the Primordial Sect, becoming its subsidiary force.

Both the Profound Sound Sect and Zhu Yan Bai Guan Observation are notable forces within the Reincarnation Nether Realm.

Especially the latter, which ranks among the top ten in the Demon Sect factions within the Reincarnation Nether Realm.

The change in the position of Observatory Master, with a top ten Demon Sect becoming someone else’s subordinate sect, was undoubtedly big news.

And just as the forces large and small in the Reincarnation Nether Realm were just becoming aware of the Primordial Sect’s existence, another bombshell news immediately followed.

The Primordial Sect declared war simultaneously on nine Demon Sects located in the Reincarnation Nether Realm—Blood Cloud Sect, Nether Moon Sect, Myriad Ghosts Sect, Array Pavilion—and others, factions with strength similar to Zhu Yan Bai Guan Observation.

Declaring war on nine major Demon Sects meant the Primordial Sect would face at least nine Nascent Soul Cultivators, including some formidable Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts.

For a time, forces large and small in the Reincarnation Nether Realm thought the Primordial Sect had gone mad.

But the subsequent developments fiercely contradicted their expectations.

In just one month, the nine major Demon Sects, including Blood Cloud Sect, Nether Moon Sect, and Myriad Ghosts Sect, fell one after another.

Even more alarming was that after these Demon Sects fell, they uniformly lost half of their members.

Where this half of the Demon Sect cultivators went, opinions varied.

Some said they were killed as a warning, others speculated they were blood-sacrificed by the elusive Master of the Primordial Sect, and still others guessed they were absorbed into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner by the Master.

After all, it’s the Demon Sect, so such actions are understandable.

However, what left observers puzzled was that the surviving cultivators of the nine Demon Sects had seemingly forgotten past grudges and wholeheartedly served as lapdogs to the Primordial Sect.

Not only the lower-level demon cultivators, but even genuine Nascent Soul Cultivators like Blood Cloud True Monarch and Nether Moon True Monarch, became vassals of the Primordial Sect, loyally risking their lives for it.

This is why the Primordial Sect could grow increasingly powerful, sweeping through the nine Demon Sects with ease.

This led observers to suspect that the Master of the Primordial Sect possessed one or more twisted Demonic Divine Techniques capable of altering cultivators’ minds.

Upon reaching this conclusion, many couldn’t help but feel terrified, worried that after consolidating all the Demon Sects, the Primordial Sect might target the Righteous Sects.

The Profound Sound Sect is a prime example.

Amidst widespread panic, intelligence on the Primordial Sect inevitably filtered upward and came under the scrutiny of the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch.

At Zhu Yan Bai Guan Mountain Gate, the headquarters of the Primordial Sect.

Su Yuan stared at the silvery-white metal rod in his hand, lost in thought.

Over the past month, he conducted blood sacrifices on half the lives of the nine major Demon Sects, storing their flesh and blood power and full cultivation in the Crown of Corruption, while their souls were absorbed into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

He himself wasn’t entirely sure how many Life Souls were within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner now.

He only knew that among his ten thousand Cyber Brothers, the lowest rank was Centurion.

A million demon cultivators’ Life Souls?

There should be at least that many now.

Perhaps as a result of continually increasing soul storage, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner itself had its level repeatedly elevated.

By this point, this Magical Treasure that had been with him since the Qi Cultivation Stage, was emitting an incredibly daunting aura, no less formidable than the Chi Yuan Sword, which had developed a complete Artifact Spirit.

"Has my Ten Thousand Souls Banner transformed into a Nascent Soul Demon Treasure?"

"If it continues developing like this, could it one day become an Immortal Grade Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"

Su Yuan pondered silently.

If not for the fact that the sect leaders of the nine major Demon Sects had already been corrupted by his Demon Technique·Finger Technique (Level 4) and the Corruption Divine Kingdom, becoming his assets, he would have directly extracted these nine Nascent Soul stage souls, placing them into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to see if this treasure could undergo new transformations.

However... even nine Nascent Soul stage souls might not be enough to transform the Ten Thousand Souls Banner into an Immortal Treasure.

After all, Immortal Treasures are meant for Divinity Transformation Cultivators, not something you can achieve just by piling up quantities.

While he was contemplating, Zhu Qingqing appeared at the door, her tone somewhat peculiar:

"Su Yuan, the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch has dispatched a Divine Envoy, stating that he wishes to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately adopted a vigilant expression, ready to grab his things and flee at a moment’s notice.

But Zhu Qingqing’s next words left Su Yuan stunned.

"In my opinion, that Divine Envoy doesn’t seem to be here to cause trouble for you. On the contrary, he brought a letter of appointment written personally by the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch. It seems to be appointing you as... the Reincarnation Saint Son."
