Chapter 615

The name Cangwu City is also widely known, attracting countless factions to visit.

To forge ties with the Cangwu Jiang family, they all began trading with the Cangwu Merchants' Guild in the city!

This move caused the Cangwu Merchants' Guild to expand rapidly!

Especially after absorbing multiple guilds, including the Tongbao Merchants' Guild.

The Cangwu Merchants' Guild then became the number one guild within Tiandou Prefecture!

In terms of scale, even across all thirty-six prefectures of the Great Qin, it ranks among the top twenty!

Its meteoric rise left countless people in awe!

Under these circumstances.

Jiang Shan, as the guild's chairman, received an abundance of cultivation resources.

Especially after using the Taotie spiritual sense to absorb the life force from one spirit beast after another, feeding it back into himself.

His current realm and cultivation base have surged dramatically!

In just two months, he reached Star Wheel Realm Fourth Layer!

However, adhering to the principle of humble conduct and bold action, he has always concealed his cultivation base, never revealing any aura.

Thus, to this day, no one knows his true cultivation base; they still believe him to be the former Purple Mansion cultivator!

If his true realm were to become known, it would cause an uproar, leaving countless people speechless!

As for the renamed Demon Cult.

It has shown extraordinary activity during this period, constantly stirring trouble across the thirty-six prefectures, causing widespread panic!

This is because these Demon Cult members have begun capturing cultivators en masse across all prefectures!

After initial fear and concern, major clans and sects began investigating the reason.

Yet, though they uncovered no cause, they were stunned to discover a common trait among all captured cultivators!

That is, most of them belonged to demonic sects or had blood on their hands, bearing infamous reputations!

Upon learning this result, they felt profound confusion over the Demon Cult's actions.

What exactly is the Demon Cult doing? Why has it started turning on other demonic sects?

No one understood the reason, but none of the captured cultivators ever returned alive—everyone could only assume they were dead.

As the Demon Cult began mobilizing its entire force, continuously capturing cultivators.

Among them, Star Wheel Realm, Moon Wheel Realm, and even Sun Wheel Realm emissaries have intervened!

Jiang Han, as the cult's leader, has also entered his own period of explosive cultivation growth!

He now needs only to remain at the Demon Cult's headquarters, without venturing into the outside world, and can simply wait as his subordinates deliver cultivators to him.

His only task is one:

To use the Huang Quan Demon Art to frantically devour the essence, qi, and spirit of these cultivators, enhancing himself!

Though it requires time to digest, his current realm and cultivation base have already surged to Moon Wheel Realm Fourth Layer!

During this time, Jiang family members within the Earth Demon Cult had long been brought back to Cangwu Mountain, evenly distributed among the other six bloodlines, excluding the Yaoguang line.

On the other side.

Within the Great Qin, a sword prodigy is rising like a rising sun, illuminating the sword realm of the thirty-six prefectures, leaving countless sword cultivators in awe, forced to look up!

His name is Jiang Zhiwei, from the Cangwu Jiang family!

Though his current cultivation base is only Ocean Realm Sixth Layer, he wields an extraordinarily terrifying perfected Sword Heart!

He has challenged numerous factions and, in terms of sword art alone, has never lost!

Even renowned sword elders have fallen before him; no matter how hard they chase, they can only watch his back!

Precisely because of these terrifying achievements, he was granted the title: Bai Hong Sword Marquis!

And according to rumor, the Bai Hong Sword Marquis is still under twenty years of age!

This utterly astonishing sword talent

Instantly filled countless sword prodigies with despair, regretting being born in the same era as him!

Some prodigies, after defeat, so admired the Bai Hong Sword Marquis's brilliance that they immediately resolved to become his followers!

In just a few months, six followers had gathered behind Jiang Zhiwei!

Four men and two women, all top talents from their respective prefectures and the strongest young sword cultivators of their generation!

Across the entire Great Qin, they are unquestionably sword prodigies!

Yet all have been subdued by Jiang Zhiwei.

Now they willingly serve as her followers, eager to accompany her as she challenges the sword world, determined to witness the birth of the supreme sword master!

In their eyes, the Bai Hong Sword Marquis is peerless in grace and talent, a sword prodigy unseen in ten thousand years, the strongest candidate to succeed the Old Sword King and become the Great Qin's new supreme sword master!

As word gradually spread, more and more cultivators heard the name of the Bai Hong Sword Marquis!

Even cultivators from neighboring nations have heard whispers, learning that in the Great Qin, a peerless female sword cultivator has emerged, sweeping through the Great Qin's sword realm with sword art so powerful it defies belief!

At this time, Jiang Yan, training on Lishan, under Zhou Lao's guidance, made rapid progress in alchemy, advancing to Intermediate Two-Stripe Alchemist, capable of refining Xuan-grade Mid-tier elixirs!

His cultivation base has also not lagged; under the power of the Yan Sect Art, he has now reached Star Wheel Realm Fifth Layer!

And based on rumors along the way, he has been searching everywhere for clues about strange fires!

On the other side.

Cangwu Mountain.

After receiving the various cultivation resources provided by the Cangwu Merchants' Guild and the precious resources granted by the clan,

The strength of the seven bloodlines has risen in tandem, undergoing tremendous change!

The number of cultivators at the Primordial Foundation stage alone has reached a staggering five hundred!

The number of Purple Mansion cultivators has reached a terrifying sixty-five!

As for Tianxuan Vein Lord Jiang Daoyun, he reached the ninth level of the Yuanhai Realm.

Because of comprehending the Sword Stele, by drawing parallels, his blade Dao cultivation base advanced another step, mastering the Great Accomplishment Blade Intent!

Grand Elder Jiang Hongguang, under the accumulation of the Lei Lingti and the clan's massive resources, advanced to the second level of the Star Wheel Realm!

Elder Council member Jiang Hongwen, who is now the Second Elder, was also forcibly piled up by resources to the first level of the Yuanhai Realm!

Cangwu Mountain Mountain-Guarding Consecrator Zhao Hu, after awakening the Wu Wangti, has now leapt from his original first level of the Moon Wheel Realm to the seventh level of the Moon Wheel Realm!
