Chapter 347: Smuggling into the Spirit Realm, Fusion of the Three Realms, Corpse of an Immortal

"This is the stone tablet from Demon Sealing Valley."

"Does Fellow Daoist wish to obtain this stone tablet?"

"Although this stone tablet is indeed a strange stone, it is far too hard."

"Even a Spirit Severing Venerable cannot refine this stone."

"Therefore, it can only serve as an Array eye or a mere stone tablet."

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist has a method to utilize this mineral?"

Qiu Ruyu looked at Zhou Sui with curiosity.

As the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, she had guarded the vicinity of Demon Sealing Valley for years and naturally knew of this special stone tablet.

Everyone knew that the material of this stone tablet was extraordinary and incomparably hard.

Even the power of a Transformation God could not damage it in the slightest.

The problem was that because it was too hard, it had become a lump of rock that could not be forged into a Dharma Treasure.

Even a Grandmaster-level Artifact Refiner was helpless against it.

Many Spirit Fires had appeared, yet none could fuse this stone.

In the end, it became a mineral that was a pity to discard but tasteless to consume.

"That is correct; I happen to have a method that requires this stone's assistance."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

Ordinary power naturally could not refine this Taiyi Refined Gold, but the killing intent derived from all living beings was different.

This inexplicable power of killing intent could subtly influence the Taiyi Refined Gold, causing it to undergo astonishing changes.

Eventually, it could be tempered into a supreme precious sword.

It would also become his natal Flying Sword.

"So that is how it is."

"It seems this treasure is destined to belong to Fellow Daoist."

"By the way, let us head to the Hehuan Sect first."

"After all, those disciples and grand-disciples of the Hehuan Sect have been waiting for a long time."

Qiu Ruyu smiled sweetly, feeling very joyful.

She did not know why, but generally speaking, for such a treasure, even if she could not use it herself, it would not be taken by others without them having to pay a price.

But if it were this man before her taking it away, she not only felt no regret but instead felt immense joy.

It seemed that for such a treasure to be used by this man was simply the treasure's honor.

"Very well."

Zhou Sui nodded.

Swoosh!

Instantly, the figures of Qiu Ruyu and Zhou Sui flashed, turning into a streak of light as they flew toward the Hehuan Sect.

Before long, he entered the Hehuan Sect.

With Qiu Ruyu's help, the surrounding Forbidden Arrays seemed to vanish entirely.

His Heart Eye Power swept gently.

He immediately perceived that the entire Hehuan Sect was filled with handsome men and beautiful women.

Among them, there were more women than men; female cultivators accounted for at least eighty percent, while male cultivators were only twenty percent.

It could be said that this was a sect where women flourished and men declined.

Every female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect was dressed very scantily, even more unrestrained than in Hundred Flowers City.

Looking around, it was as if one had entered a kingdom of women.

At this very moment, it seemed a group of Hehuan Sect senior sisters were instructing their junior sisters who had only just become Beginners.

"You must remember, men conquer women by conquering the world, while women conquer the world by conquering men; a woman's true weapon lies between her legs."

A Hehuan Sect senior sister was earnestly teaching her newly initiated junior sisters.

She was imparting the philosophy of the Hehuan Sect.

"Perhaps some of you are unconvinced, feeling that we women can also hold up half the sky, and can still surpass men through our own efforts, or even stand above them."

"But the gap in physical constitution and aptitude cannot be ignored, just like the gap in Spirit Root aptitude, which can never be compensated for in this lifetime; if you possess a Heavenly Spirit Root, you can naturally ascend easily to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul."

"If you only have a Lower Grade Spirit Root, let alone entering the Hehuan Sect, even Foundation Establishment is an impossibility; this is the gap in aptitude, a massive gap that is difficult to compensate for with effort."

"Of course, this is not to say that we women are inferior to men, but to tell you not to use your own disadvantages to contend with a man's advantages; that is unreasonable and an unwise act."

"Although men have great endurance and combat power, they also have fatal weaknesses, namely greed for wealth and lust; as long as one has a bit of beauty and shows a little favor, they will easily take the bait."

"Therefore, we must utilize this point, utilize the weaknesses of men, to achieve our goals."

"Just as men always like to have three wives and four concubines, we women are the same; we also need to prepare many spare tires."

"These spare tires are the wallets of us female cultivators, the financial backers of us female cultivators; we can use them to provide us with cultivation resources. The more men you hook, and the higher their quality, the more resources you will obtain."

"By then, we female cultivators won't need to provide our own cultivation resources at all; it will all be supplied by men."

"We only need to cultivate quietly and be responsible for being beautiful."

"Just like the Dao Companion of Elder Huang of the Taixu Sect, the Dao Companion of Elder Li of the Hunyuan Sect, and so on, they are all female cultivators of our Hehuan Sect."

"They are also outstanding representatives of the Hehuan Sect."

"Originally, their aptitudes were ordinary, merely Superior Spiritual Roots."

"But with the help of their own men, they were actually able to form their Nascent Souls as a matter of course."

"This is the importance of a Dao Companion."

"Do not think it is shameful to be unable to defeat a male cultivator of the same realm, for that is completely irrelevant."

"In the Immortal Cultivation World, one's realm is what matters most."

"If you can't beat someone in the Qi Refining stage, you can crush them once you advance to Foundation Establishment; when you use Foundation Establishment to fight Qi Refining, who can be our match?"

"As long as we cultivate rapidly and our realm always stays a step ahead of the male cultivators, we will always hold the advantage."

"How to quickly improve one's cultivation is nothing more than a matter of Spirit Root and cultivation resources."

"Spirit Root is fated, but cultivation resources are something we can strive for."

This Hehuan Sect senior sister shouted, imparting her various knowledge.

This was the theory of realm crushing, the theory of men as wallets, and so on.

Hearing these words, many newly joined junior sisters of the Hehuan Sect listened with rapt attention, gaining much benefit.

They felt as if their worldviews had received a baptism.

"Senior sister, according to that logic, wouldn't we be available to everyone?"

A junior sister said with a delicate look.

After all, as a maiden, hearing these words still gave her a bit of a shock.

"Stupid, who told you to hand over your own bodies?"

"Now, I need to teach you the most important lesson: do not just give anything to men."

"Men are creatures like this; the more they cannot obtain something, the more they cherish it."

"The more pure a woman is, the more men will love her."

"We female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect can keep him dangling, keep his appetite whetted, give him a little sweetness occasionally, but just never give it to him."

"If he gives Spirit Stones, there is sweetness; if he doesn't, there is none."

"Of course, this also requires a sense of proportion, otherwise if the backup tire runs away, the loss will outweigh the gain."

"Pass through a forest of handsome men, without a single leaf sticking to your body."

"Remember, we can play with men, but we cannot love men, and even less can we spend money on men, otherwise that is the beginning of your life's misfortune; these are all hard-learned lessons."

The Hehuan Sect senior sister looked at the many junior sisters very seriously.

After all, these were the blood-and-tear lessons learned by generations of Hehuan Sect female cultivators.

Many female cultivators had forgotten this point and ended up suffering a tragic life.

Even so, she still needed to remind these newly joined female Disciples at all times.

"Yes, senior sister."

Many Hehuan Sect junior sisters could not help but nod, just like chicks pecking at rice.

They felt they had gained much from the senior's experience.

"You must remember a few true words of the Hehuan Sect."

"We can be seductive, but we cannot be wanton."

"We can be charming, but we cannot be lewd."

"A woman's beauty is for men to look at, not for men to obtain."

"If a man doesn't give Spirit Stones, let him get lost."

The Hehuan Sect senior sister spoke a few true words of the Hehuan Sect, all of which were the precious experience of the Hehuan Sect's predecessors.

This also allowed many female cultivators to avoid taking many detours.

"This!"

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes; he perceived the words of these female cultivators and could only say that they were worthy of the Hehuan Sect.

The sect culture was indeed unique.

It could be said to be absolutely pro-female.

However, which cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation World is not like this? Whether male or female, it is all the same.

It just depends on whose Daoist practice is more profound.

Whoosh!

Not long after, Qiu Ruyu brought Zhou Sui into an Immortal Palace on Hehuan Peak.

Many Nascent Soul female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect had also been waiting here for a long time.

The low-level Disciples did not know what had just happened, but these Nascent Soul female cultivators certainly knew.

So, they were all incomparably nervous, looking at Qiu Ruyu.

"Sect Master, I wonder how things are at Demon Sealing Valley, and whether the demons inside have escaped?"

A Nascent Soul female cultivator could not help but ask.

"Do not worry, the matter of Demon Sealing Valley has been completely resolved."

"The Green Lion Demon inside has been slain by this Sect Master."

"From now on, Demon Sealing Valley will completely disappear, and our Hehuan Sect no longer needs to worry about being attacked by a Deity Transformation demon."

Qiu Ruyu smiled slightly.

"That's great."

Hearing this, the many Nascent Soul female cultivators were wild with joy.

To tell the truth, they had long had a premonition; if something had really gone wrong, I am afraid the Sect Master would not have returned.

The Hehuan Sect might have even suffered a catastrophe.

But now, the Sect Master had returned unscathed, clearly the matter had been perfectly resolved.

However, they never expected that their own Sect Master could actually slay a Deity Transformation demon; it was truly incredible.

One must know that generations of Hehuan Sect Sect Masters had wanted to resolve this Deity Transformation demon, but had no way to do so.

Now that it had actually been resolved by the Sect Master, it was simply beyond imagination.

"Sect Master, may I ask who this Daoist is?"

At this moment, many Nascent Soul female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect also noticed Zhou Sui, their eyes widening one by one, for it was the first time they had seen the Sect Master act so intimately with a strange man.

It looked as if the two were lovers.

This was even more unbelievable than slaying a Spirit Severing demon.

Each of them couldn't help but have gossipy thoughts arise in their hearts, wanting to know exactly what the relationship between the two was.

"Oh, this is a Daoist I just met."

"He is the Xuanhuang Sect Master, Zhou Sui, and he can be considered to have helped me a great deal."

"So I invited him into the Hehuan Sect to treat him with great hospitality."

Qiu Ruyu said straightforwardly.

"So it is Daoist Zhou."

The many Nascent Soul female cultivators' beautiful eyes flickered as they sized up Zhou Sui from head to toe.

They were practically itching to study this man before them until they found every detail.

Such a mysterious man, actually gaining the favor of the Sect Master—it was truly the first time in history.

Could he really be a lover the Sect Master had been hiding outside?!

But as a Spirit Severing Venerable and a Sect Master, wasn't getting a man just a matter of saying the word?

There was no need to hide anything at all.

No one would dare to object.

Could it be a man she had only just met, and thus brought back today?!

For a time, these female cultivators let their imaginations run wild, already regarding Zhou Sui as a male favorite the Sect Master had found.

"Alright, you all may leave for now."

"I still have matters to discuss with Daoist Zhou."

Qiu Ruyu immediately issued an order to leave.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The many Hehuan Sect female cultivators, no matter how gossipy they were, dared not defy the Sect Master, and one by one they quickly departed.

Before long, Qiu Ruyu brought Zhou Sui into a quiet room.

"Daoist Zhou, I am curious."

"What kind of power have you mastered that can actually restrain demons?"

"This is an extraordinary method."

Qiu Ruyu asked directly; after all, methods capable of restraining demons were far too rare.

"Oh, there is nothing to hide."

"This is the Five Elements Thunder Method inherited by my Xuanhuang Sect, a thunder-type divine ability."

"Mastering this thunder divine ability gives one a chance to grasp the power of Tribulation Lightning."

"I also mastered the Tribulation Lightning Power through a stroke of luck, which is why I can restrain demons."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, speaking half-truths.

"So that is how it is. It seems Daoist Zhou might be a person born to meet the times."

"After all, the Immortal Cultivation World is entering a troubled autumn."

"If one is not careful, the entire Immortal Cultivation World will be destroyed."

Qiu Ruyu said gloomily.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Even if the Demon Race truly launches a full-scale invasion, they might not necessarily be able to occupy our Human Race's Immortal Cultivation World, right?"

Zhou Sui's eyes flickered.

"If it were only the Demon Race, even if the Human Race were to retreat step by step, there would be no danger of extinction."

"The problem is that the Ancient Demon World is very likely to make a comeback, repeating what happened in the Ancient Era."

"You heard what that Green Lion Demon said just now, didn't you? That was not a threat, but a fact."

"Therefore, many Spirit Severing Venerables have already despaired, and each of them is looking for an opportunity to ascend to the Spirit World."

"They want to escape this quagmire."

Qiu Ruyu said in a deep voice.

She revealed an earth-shattering piece of news: that the many Spirit Severing Venerables of the Eastern Wasteland Continent had no intention of resisting to the end, but instead planned to run away directly and ascend to the Spirit World.

"Could it be that the phenomenon of World Fusion will also occur between the Immortal Cultivation World and the Ancient Demon World?"

"Repeating the fusion of the three worlds from the Ancient Era?!"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

His heart was also surging with stormy waves; he had not expected to obtain such important information from Qiu Ruyu.

If the demons of the Ancient Demon World were to slaughter their way here again, given the current strength of the Immortal Cultivation World, they would likely be unable to resist at all.

No wonder those Spirit Severing Venerables all wanted to run away.

Because even if they didn't run, the probability of them being unable to defeat those demons was high.

To be honest, upon hearing this intelligence, he wanted to run away too.

"That is correct."

"In fact, the Immortal Cultivation World, the Ancient Demon World, and the Ancient Demon World were already incredibly close to begin with."

"Every once in a while, the three worlds will fuse once."

"In the past million years of history in the Immortal Cultivation World, such an event has occurred three times."

"It could be said that it might be about to happen for the fourth time now."

Qiu Ruyu said helplessly.

It is precisely because similar things have happened in history that the Spirit Severing Venerables dare to conclude that this matter will definitely happen.

It is merely a matter of sooner or later.

"If it is the fusion of three worlds, why don't those demons invade the Ancient Demon World, but instead invade our Immortal Cultivation World?"

Zhou Sui was very puzzled.

Because in the Ancient Era, it seems the main place the demons attacked was the Immortal Cultivation World, rather than attacking the Ancient Demon World.

This point is extremely strange.

He instinctively realized that there must be something in the Immortal Cultivation World that attracts them.

Otherwise, they would not make such a choice.

"As for that."

"According to ancient secret records, that group of demons seems to want to find the corpse of an immortal."

"It is rumored that a million years ago, our Immortal Cultivation World itself was just an ordinary world, and there were no cultivators."

"Basically, everyone was a mortal."

"But one day, suddenly an immortal descended from the sky and fell into our world."

"As a result, this immortal brought immortal arts to this world, and a large number of cultivators were born."

"It is said that all the immortal arts in this world today come from that immortal."

"Unfortunately, that immortal seemed to have suffered severe injuries, and thus perished."

Qiu Ruyu said in a deep voice, revealing a secret that only Spirit Severing Venerables know: that a million years ago, an immortal fell into the Immortal Cultivation World, opening the history of cultivation in this realm.

From then on, cultivators sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, thereby opening a golden age of cultivation.

"No way, could there really have been an immortal a million years ago?"

"If that is really the case, where is the immortal's corpse?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He instinctively realized that this rumor was highly likely to be true; some of the Treasures that appeared on him seemed to have a great connection with immortals.

If it were false, how could that group of demons be so tireless?

However, if it were true, then this world is indeed extraordinary, containing a huge secret.

After all, this is the corpse of an immortal who lives forever.

Even if the Cultivators of the Spirit World knew about it, they might go crazy for it.

"This, I am not very clear about."

"Not many people even know about things that happened ten thousand years ago."

"Let alone things that happened a million years ago, which have long been drowned in the long river of history."

"Anyway, until now, no one has been able to find that immortal's corpse."

"I don't even know where it went, and no one even knows if it really exists."

Qiu Ruyu shook her head.

"I didn't expect Daoist Qiu to actually reveal such a secret."

"I wonder what for?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

"To tell the truth, this was originally a secret of the Spirit Severing Venerables and should not have been spoken of."

"But I don't know why, I feel like I've known you for years, as if we were old friends."

"So I want to cooperate with Daoist Zhou to find the Space Node to ascend to the Spirit World."

"Once found, we can consider ourselves to have a way out."

"If things become irreversible, we can also flee this realm."

Qiu Ruyu stated her purpose, her beautiful eyes looking intently at Zhou Sui.

She also did not know why she trusted the man in front of her so much.

But this feeling was incomparably wonderful, making her unable to resist.

Of course, all of this came from the power of the Infatuation Gu, which can silently increase favorability.

And it would also cause one to ignore all sense of incongruity.

If not for this power, she would not have been able to speak so candidly.

How could a Cultivator who has become a Transformation God be naive?

"That is not impossible."

"But the Immortal Cultivation World is so large, how can we find the Space Node?"

Zhou Sui asked curiously.

To tell the truth, he did not resist such a thing.

If things were truly beyond saving, he certainly would not perish together with the Immortal Cultivation World.

Finding an escape route in advance is also a matter of course.

"Leave this matter to me."

"Over these many years, I actually have some clues."

"It's just that when the time comes to open the Space Node, I might need your help, Daoist."

Qiu Ruyu smiled sweetly.

"No problem."

Zhou Sui naturally agreed readily.

…………

On the other hand, the Hehuan Sect was thoroughly stirred up.

Because the long-single Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, Qiu Ruyu, had actually brought back a fair-skinned, handsome young man; this was earth-shattering gossip, enough to shake the entire Hehuan Sect.

Countless female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were extremely curious about Zhou Sui's identity.

"No way, is it real or fake? Sect Master actually brought back a boy toy?"

A female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect widened her beautiful eyes, very surprised.

Because Qiu Ruyu had been single for over a thousand years, had never had any scandals, and had not even interacted with men.

Now that a man had suddenly appeared by her side, it was truly inconceivable.

"Of course it's true, many Elders saw it with their own eyes."

"And it was Sect Master who brought him back herself; both of them went to the quiet room."

"A lone man and a lone woman, sharing a room."

"One can imagine what will happen inside."

A female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect said with certainty, claiming that she had indeed seen the intimate behavior between that man and Sect Master, thick as glue and lacquer, simply like a couple in the midst of a passionate love affair.

"But isn't it said that Sect Master's Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires maintaining a Pure Yin body and cannot have men?"

A female cultivator asked curiously.

"Stupid, Sect Master is already a Spirit Severing Venerable."

"Basically, once this technique is cultivated to the peak, how could it still need to be maintained? It's just like the Boyhood Technique; once cultivated to the realm of perfection, one can ensure the primordial yang is not lost and can engage in acts at will. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is the same."

"I believe you all know the power of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra; that surge of Pure Yin Qi is simply unbearable."

"How many sisters have broken the rules because they couldn't endure it, and from then on, it became uncontrollable."

"Isn't that so? Sect Master has also endured for over a thousand years; I'm afraid she can't hold back now, which is why she took the initiative to bring a man back into the sect without even avoiding suspicion."

"My god, if that's the case, then isn't this man doomed? Can he really satisfy Sect Master? Won't he be sucked dry and become a skeleton?"

"Wait, this is too fake, isn't it? Isn't Sect Master a natural stone woman? How could she do this kind of thing?"

"Stupid, being a natural stone woman is naturally difficult to solve for ordinary cultivators, but Sect Master is a Spirit Severing Venerable; what does being a natural stone woman count for? It must have been cured long ago."

"No wonder Sect Master is so uninhibited and even found a boy toy to bring back."

Many female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect discussed it heatedly.

Clearly, with the spread of this news, the rumors had begun to become increasingly outrageous.

"You can rest assured about this; that man seems to be a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator as well, with a powerful physique."

"It is said that ten times a night is an easy matter for him."

"No wonder Sect Master loves this boy toy so much; my man is useless. He used to brag that he could last an hour, but later, it didn't even add up to ten strokes."

"Sigh, my man is the same, simply a piece of trash, a total weakling. It's a waste that I prepared so many tonics; I didn't expect it would be better to feed them to a dog."

"But will this boy toy wreak havoc on our Hehuan Sect? In mortal dynasties, it seems that such cases of the inner court interfering in politics, leading to the collapse of the dynasty, often occur."

"Stupid, how can a mortal emperor compare to us cultivators? Sect Master is a Spirit Severing Venerable. If that boy toy doesn't know what's good for him and even presumes upon favor, I'm afraid his end will be worrisome."

Many female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect chattered away.

They had already imagined all sorts of explosive stories about Zhou Sui and Sect Master Qiu Ruyu.

……

At the same time, the news that the Demon Sealing Valley had been breached and the Spirit Severing demon, the Green Lion Demon, had broken free spread like a hurricane across the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent, becoming known to countless cultivators.

Especially the three major Spirit Severing sects, the Lishang Demon Palace, the Taixu Sect, and the Hunyuan Sect, naturally knew about it immediately.

After all, they were among the strongest sects on the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

Once any disaster occurred, they would certainly be the first to bear the brunt.

A disaster like a Spirit Severing demon breaking free from its seal would certainly sweep across the entire Eastern Wasteland Continent.

No faction could hope to remain uninvolved.

"Interesting."

"You mean the Green Lion Demon did indeed break free from the Demon Sealing Valley."

"But the Hehuan Sect is completely unscathed."

"Because that Spirit Severing Green Lion Demon was killed by the Hehuan Sect Sect Master herself?!"

"Since when could that freakishly strong woman kill a Spirit Severing demon?"

"Could it be that her cultivation has greatly advanced during this period?"

The Palace Master of the Lishang Demon Palace, Demon Venerable Qianjue, narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of cold light.

After hearing this news, he had thought the Hehuan Sect was completely finished.

Once a Spirit Severing demon broke free, it would surely bring devastation to all living things.

Even if a Spirit Severing Venerable took action personally, it would be impossible to defeat a Spirit Severing demon.

After all, Spirit Severing demons possess an immortal body; how could an ordinary Spirit Severing Venerable be a match for one?

Even in the Ancient Era, it took many Spirit Severing experts joining forces and paying a huge price to seal the opponent.

But in this current era, Spirit Severing Venerables are pitifully few, countable on one's fingers.

Thinking of dealing with a Spirit Severing demon is simply wishful thinking.

However, he never expected that the Spirit Severing demon would actually be killed by Qiu Ruyu.

It was simply beyond expectations and inconceivable.

"Heh, it definitely wasn't done by that woman."

"Don't we know her capabilities?"

"Although her talent is indeed astonishing, she is, after all, only at the Spirit Severing Initial Stage."

"To think she could contend with a Spirit Severing Perfection demon is still far from reality."

"There must be someone helping this woman from behind the scenes."

Taixu Sect Sect Master Qingxuan Daoist said in a deep voice.

He was one hundred percent certain that Qiu Ruyu did not have the ability to kill a Spirit Severing demon.

If she were truly that powerful, she would have unified the Eastern Wasteland Continent long ago.

All other sects would have had to bow their heads and submit, with no one able to rival her.

"Oh, if that is the case, does the Eastern Wasteland Continent still harbor other unknown Spirit Severing cultivators?"

"The problem is that we have lived for such a long time, yet we have never heard of the existence of any other Spirit Severing cultivators."

Hunyuan Sect Sect Master Duer Daoist stroked his white beard.

He felt that the probability of an unseen Spirit Severing cultivator appearing in the Eastern Wasteland Continent was not high.

Because to promote to Spirit Severing, one must necessarily survive the Transformation God Lightning Tribulation.

Such a massive disturbance could not possibly be hidden.

Moreover, after becoming a Spirit Severing cultivator, one also needs to consume a vast amount of resources.

Without the supply of a sect, relying solely on oneself makes it difficult to obtain so many resources.

Therefore, every Spirit Severing cultivator in the Eastern Wasteland Continent is very familiar with one another, like old friends of many years.

Basically, there is no such thing as an unknown Spirit Severing Venerable.

"It is not necessarily a Spirit Severing cultivator from our Eastern Wasteland Continent; perhaps they come from other continents."

"Although the Ancient Teleportation Array is extremely rare, it is not non-existent."

"A Spirit Severing Venerable from another continent could have mastered an Ancient Teleportation Array and thus arrived in our Eastern Wasteland Continent."

"That is not an impossible scenario."

Qingxuan Daoist narrowed his eyes; he felt that the unknown Spirit Severing cultivator might have come from another continent.

After all, they can control the Eastern Wasteland Continent, but they cannot control other places.

Nor do they know exactly what the situation is in other parts of the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

"There is no need to guess anything at all."

"We can just go and ask that woman directly."

"We are all fellow Daoists of many years; I believe Fellow Daoist Qiu will certainly not hide anything."

Qianjue Demon Venerable said with a smile.

Clearly, the three Spirit Severing Venerables all had the same thought: they wanted to know how Qiu Ruyu had killed that Spirit Severing demon—whether she had borrowed other means, or if someone had helped her in secret.

…………

At this very moment, in the Canglan Sea.

Xuanhuang Sect, Xuanhuang Island, inside a Cave Abode.

"The remains of an immortal from the Ancient Era?"

"I didn't expect the secrets of the Immortal Cultivation World to be so astonishing."

"It really takes old antiques like the Spirit Severing Venerables to know such secrets."

"What level of mystery and power could the remains of an immortal possibly contain?"

"Are there other Treasures or other inheritances beside those immortal remains?"

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.

Through his clone, he sensed what had happened at the Hehuan Sect.

Naturally, he also learned of the existence of the immortal remains from Hehuan Sect Sect Master Qiu Ruyu at the first opportunity.

No wonder those demons were unwilling to give up and were pursuing them relentlessly.

If the immortal remains were truly found, the benefits obtained would be unimaginable.

"As expected, the power of the Object Seeking Gu is still insufficient; it simply cannot find the location of the immortal remains."

Zhou Sui had also immediately used the power of the Object Seeking Gu, wanting to find the specific location of the immortal remains.

But clearly, the result was as he had expected: the information sent back by the Object Seeking Gu was a blank.

A mere Tier 4 Upper Grade Object Seeking Gu cannot find a Treasure of such a high level as immortal remains.

However, he was not disappointed.

His attitude toward these Treasures had always been: if I get it, it is my fortune; if I lose it, it is my fate.

He did not force it too much.

"But what I didn't expect even more is that those Spirit Severing Venerables are already thinking of running away."

"They have no intention of resisting the invasion of the Demon Race and the demon tribes."

"But this is also human nature."

"The strength of the Immortal Cultivation World is simply too far behind that of the Ancient Demon World and the Ancient Demon World."

"Even if they really resisted, the possibility of failure would be the majority."

"If they want to survive, they can only ascend to the Spirit World or sneak into the Spirit World."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, he was also very interested in the plans of those Spirit Severing Venerables.

Because sooner or later, he would also promote to the Spirit Severing realm.

By then, he would also need to consider the matter of ascending to the Spirit World.

After all, the level of the Immortal Cultivation World is still too low; the Spirit Severing realm is the limit for cultivators.

No matter how talented one is, it is impossible to break through the level of the world.

If one wants to go further, one must certainly ascend to the Spirit World.

Unfortunately, due to the wars of the Ancient Era, the Ascension Platform was long ago completely destroyed.

The Immortal Cultivation World has also completely lost contact with the Spirit World.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to ascend to the Spirit World through the Ascension Platform.

The only way to ascend to the Spirit World is to find a fragile Space Node, break this Space Node, connect to the Spirit World, and pass through the Void Channel; only then is there a chance to sneak into the Spirit World.

Therefore, he also needs to plan ahead and find a suitable Space Node.

In this way, once he advances to the Spirit Severing realm, he can attempt to sneak into the Spirit World.

Moreover, this is also a fallback plan.

If he truly cannot defeat the Demon Race and the demon-monsters, and things reach an irredeemable point, then he can also ascend to the Spirit World through this Space Node.

……

Several days later.

The clone had already returned to Xuanhuang Island from the Eastern Wasteland Continent.

Not only did he bring back Taiyi Refined Gold, but he also brought back hundreds of fourth-tier Beast.

These fourth-tier Beast were naturally infused with the Nightmare Seed, and one after another, they became Zhou Sui's Spirit Beast, loyal and devoted.

It can be said that this is equivalent to the Xuanhuang Sect suddenly gaining hundreds of Nascent Soul-level combatants.

For the Xuanhuang Sect, this is simply a qualitative improvement.

In a Cave Abode on Xuanhuang Peak.

Boom~~

A stone tablet appeared on the ground; it was precisely the Taiyi Refined Gold.

At this moment, Zhou Sui moved his mind and poured countless killing intent into this piece of Taiyi Refined Gold.

Immediately, the entire piece of Taiyi Refined Gold seemed capable of containing endless killing intent.

The originally indestructible metal and stone now actually began to change.

"Not bad, it really can contain a massive amount of killing intent."

"It can even be transformed into different shapes according to my will."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

A stone in his heart finally settled down completely.

Originally, over these years, he had been continuously collecting the killing intent of all living beings, but the quantity was becoming greater and greater.

The spirit sword on his own person was also nearly unable to bear it, and cracks had appeared.

If things continued like this, the spirit sword would definitely shatter completely, falling into pieces.

But now it is fine.

Having obtained this special Mineral from the Immortal World, it can infinitely contain killing intent.

This can be considered as resolving a hidden danger on his person.

Rumble~~

As countless killing intent was poured in, the Taiyi Refined Gold, which was originally in the form of a stone tablet, was now changing toward the appearance of a Flying Sword; not long after, it transformed into a three-foot-long green blade.

Even this Flying Sword actually manifested one after another killing Rune, permeated with strands of terrifying killing intent.

It seemed as if this Flying Sword itself contained a terrifying sharpness.

With just a light strike, it could tear apart the earth and split open mountain peaks.

Nothing could block it.

"This is truly great."

"It has finally contained the countless killing intent on my person; now it can be considered a Minor Achievement for the Flying Sword."

"Perhaps I should give it a name."

"How about calling it the Zhu Xian Sword."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin; he felt very excited, as if he were forging an unprecedented Treasure.

If he could truly succeed, perhaps he could really slay a True Immortal.

Of course, even if it cannot slay a True Immortal, being able to kill demons and monsters is still a decent level of power.

Boom~~

At this moment, he felt an inexplicable connection between his Soul and this Flying Sword, as if the two were one and the same.

The originally extremely heavy Flying Sword now became light and nimble.

It was as if this Zhu Xian Sword were a part of his own body.

With just a light grasp, he could completely unleash the terrifying power of this Zhu Xian Sword.

Without a doubt, even if this Flying Sword does not compare to a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, it is not far off.

Moreover, it can also evolve infinitely.

As long as it can contain more and more killing intent, its power will continue to grow stronger.

This is the terror of the Zhu Xian Sword.

"Not bad, not bad; it seems I still must let the clone collect the killing intent of all living beings everywhere."

"Now the Canglan Sea is much safer, and there is much less killing intent."

"But places like the Eastern Wasteland Continent are chaotic; perhaps I can head to these places to collect killing intent."

Zhou Sui pondered how to increase the power of the Zhu Xian Sword.

…………

Another day passed.

The Xuanhuang Sect gained over a hundred Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts.

At first, many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators were quite surprised, but as time went on, they became accustomed to it.

Everyone knew that these Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts had all been refined by the Sect Master and belonged to the mountain-protecting spirit beasts.

"Husband, where exactly were these Spirit Beasts captured from?"

Ji Bingyu was wearing a cool, white gauze dress, her proud figure appearing and disappearing, extremely provocative, but since there were only Zhou Sui and many sisters around, she did not care much about the accidental exposure.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, she had become even more beautiful.

She looked curiously at the Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts in the distance.

To be honest, she could sense that these Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts were originally Monster Beasts, containing a fierce and violent aura within their bodies.

Yet now, they had all been tamed by her husband and had become mountain-protecting spirit beasts.

"Well, they were all captured from the Eastern Wasteland Continent."

"I just happened to learn a Beast Taming divine ability."

"So I wanted to try it out, and I didn't expect it to actually succeed."

"In the future, when encountering Fourth-tier Monster Beasts, perhaps there will be no need to kill them."

"Instead, I can choose to tame them."

"If this continues, our Xuanhuang Sect will likely have a massive number of Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He felt that if he could tame ten thousand Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts, then the Xuanhuang Sect would likely be invincible.

After all, it is extremely difficult for a Human Nascent Soul to be born.

But Fourth-tier Monster Beasts are different.

It is unknown how many have been born within the Ancient Demon World.

It can be said that the more Fourth-tier Monster Beasts are tamed, the more the strength of the Ancient Demon World will be weakened.

As one grows and the other wanes, the Human Race will naturally occupy the advantage.

"Husband, it seems that after these Monster Beasts are contracted, the Ancient Demon Qi in their bodies dissipates rapidly, and it seems to be replaced by Immortal Source Qi, which is how they transformed into Spirit Beasts."

"Legend has it that in the Ancient Era, there was a Deity Transformation sect named the Beast Taming Sect."

"This sect had Mastery in the Beast Taming Method and often captured Monster Beasts from the Ancient Demon World to serve as their own life-bound pets."

"However, because of this practice, they offended many Deity Transformation Great Demons."

"As a result, many Deity Transformation Great Demons joined forces to attack the Beast Taming Sect, which led to its destruction."

"From then on, the Beast Taming Method was lost to the Immortal Cultivation World."

Taohua Shangren's beautiful eyes flickered.

"There was indeed such a sect."

"It is a pity that the methods of the Beast Taming Sect have long since disappeared, and it is impossible to know where such a Beast Taming method can be found."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

In fact, he had also noticed this point; as he integrated the Nightmare Seed, the aura within these Monster Beasts underwent a heaven-shaking change.

A large amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi surged in, subtly and constantly changing the Origin aura within these Monster Beasts.

Thereby causing these Monster Beasts to transform into Spirit Beasts of the Immortal Cultivation World.

The difference between a Monster Beast and a Spirit Beast lies in what kind of aura they breathe.

One is Ancient Demon Qi, the other is Immortal Source Qi.

If they transform into Spirit Beasts, they would be out of place if they returned to the Ancient Demon World.

Staying in the Immortal Cultivation World and swallowing Immortal Source Qi is the only way for them to progress rapidly and improve their cultivation.

This is equivalent to "whitewashing" the Monster Beasts, transforming them into native inhabitants of the Immortal Cultivation World, and completely changing their original attributes.

Of course, to the Demon Race, this is simply betrayal.

They are "demon traitors," the kind that every demon would want to kill.

Therefore, once they encounter Spirit Beasts, those Monster Beasts will also show no mercy and strike to kill.

"If we can find the Beast Taming method, perhaps our Xuanhuang Sect can open another branch."

"Named Beast Taming Peak."

"After all, a large number of Monster Beasts have appeared in the Immortal Cultivation World, and these Monster Beasts can all serve as helpers for Cultivators."

"These Fourth-tier Monster Beasts can even be bred to give birth to a large number of Spirit Beast cubs."

Xia Shuiyang blinked her beautiful eyes; she had already thought of a way to capture these Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts for breeding.
