Chapter 357: Fifth-tier Spirit Wine, Unifying the Canglan Sea Area, Part

"Mm."

Under Zhou Sui's perception, a sea of wine immediately appeared within the body of the Fifth-tier Wine Insect, presenting a chaotic color that completely submerged this Deity Transformation-level demon.

The Dust Storm Demon Locust, caught in the sea of wine, was unable to move; its demonic body, which could be called an immortal body, was now actually emitting thick smoke, as if it had encountered sulfuric acid corrosion, sizzling and popping.

Rumble—

In just a brief moment, the Dust Storm Demon Locust, which many Human Deity Transformation experts of the Ancient Era had exhausted all their means to kill and could only choose to seal, was actually rapidly melted and decomposed.

Its soul power, the demonic power within its body, its demonic flesh and blood, and so on, were all rapidly refined by the Wine Insect.

Then, it was transformed into drops of Fifth-tier Spirit Wine.

Basically, it was refined into about one liter of Fifth-tier Spirit Wine, which appeared golden yellow and was permeated with a rich wine aroma.

Every drop of the golden liquid contained vast energy, equivalent to a Fifth-tier Treasure Pill.

It could be said that this liter of Fifth-tier Spirit Wine contained most of the energy within the body of this Deity Transformation demon.

"Gulp—"

The Wine Insect seemed to let out a satisfied burp, its chubby body swimming back and forth in mid-air, looking harmless to humans and animals, just like a fat fish.

The aura on its body had also been further enhanced.

Clearly, refining a Deity Transformation demon had brought it quite a few benefits, which could further promote its growth.

It even looked at Zhou Sui with eager eyes, as if it still wanted to refine another Deity Transformation demon.

Just these were far from enough.

"It actually really refined it?"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

Although he had long anticipated this, he never expected that the Fifth-tier Wine Insect would so easily refine this Deity Transformation-level demon into Fifth-tier Spirit Wine.

It can only be said that the power of Gu Insects is truly unfathomable and beyond imagination.

Every single one is a Heavenly Gu Insect.

Even the Wine Insect is no exception, containing the power to refine the essence of heaven and earth.

For the Wine Insect, demons are also one of the essences of heaven and earth, which can be easily refined by it and transformed into Spirit Wine.

"By the way, the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower on my body seems to still have quite a few demons."

"Perhaps Tongtian could also catch them to refine into Spirit Wine."

"Mm, better forget it; the Eight Desolations Demon Sealing Tower needs to absorb the power of demons to grow."

"Anyway, there are so many demons in the outside world."

"It is entirely possible to let Xuanhuang Sect Disciples, or other Cultivators, capture demon corpses."

"Then collect these demon corpses and refine them into Spirit Wine."

"In this way, one can continuously obtain Spirit Wine."

"Not only can it solve the pollution problem of demon corpses, but it can also be refined into Spirit Wine to enhance the strength of Cultivators."

"It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone, with infinite benefits."

Zhou Sui felt very refreshed and incomparably joyful.

After resolving this Deity Transformation-level demon, the Dust Storm Demon Locust, the hidden danger on Xuanhuang Island could be considered completely gone.

Xuanhuang Island had also completely become his own territory.

Whoosh!

Zhou Sui's figure flashed, instantly leaving the valley and returning to the Xuanhuang Peak Immortal Palace.

"Husband, has it already ended?"

At this moment, Ye Feirou and the others were all looking at Zhou Sui with wide, beautiful eyes, looking at their husband in disbelief.

Just now, their husband hadn't been out for very long, only a matter of a few minutes.

In such a short time, even those impotent Cultivators wouldn't be that fast, right?

But they had indeed sensed intense battle fluctuations coming from the back mountain just now.

There were even screams coming from the demon.

But it didn't last for a long time, and then it returned to calm.

"That's right, that Deity Transformation demon, the Dust Storm Demon Locust, has already been executed by me."

"Now its corpse has been refined by me into a pot of Fifth-tier Spirit Wine."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly and took out a pot of Fifth-tier Spirit Wine from his body; the Fifth-tier Spirit Wine inside had long been stored by him in a wine bottle, and it contained vast energy.

"Fifth-tier Spirit Wine?"

"Could it be that Husband can refine demons into Spirit Wine?"

Hearing this, Qian Ziyun and the others were suddenly shocked, simply unable to believe it.

Because if this ability were true, the benefits obtained for Humans would be simply unimaginable.

In the future, demon corpses would also have a use.

They would no longer be like discarded trash, polluting the environment of the Immortal Cultivation World.

"That's right."

"This is Fifth-tier Spirit Wine, do you want to try it?"

"However, the medicinal power inside is very strong; those with weaker cultivation should not drink too much."

"Otherwise, falling into a deep sleep for several years is a very normal thing."

Zhou Sui took out this wine pot and poured a cup for each of his Dao Companions.

One must know that the energy contained in Fifth-tier Spirit Wine is quite vast and not something ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators can withstand.

If a Golden Core Cultivator drank even a little bit, they might sleep until their Longevity was exhausted.

"Incredible."

Ye Feirou took a cup, and seeing the golden liquid inside, she smelled a rich fragrance; it seemed that just by catching a whiff of the wine's vapor, she felt a bit intoxicated.

Without a word, she drank it in one gulp.

Rumble—

Instantly, this mouthful of fifth-tier Spirit Wine plunged into her stomach, causing her throat and intestines to feel a scorching breath and heat, as if she had swallowed a mouthful of magma, burning with a fiery sting.

In an instant, she felt her entire body heat up, to the point of boiling; steam erupted from her whole person, venting out through the pores of her skin.

Once this mouthful of fifth-tier Spirit Wine entered her stomach, it rapidly transformed into vast energy.

She discovered that her Transformation God Dharma Power, which had previously been difficult to advance, was now increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just a single mouthful was equivalent to saving her several years of bitter cultivation.

Moreover, there were no pill toxins and no side effects.

The benefits gained from it were truly too many.

"Is this fifth-tier Spirit Wine?"

"Transformation God-level Spirit Wine is truly too incredible."

"Just by drinking a drop, I feel like my whole body is being blown apart by the energy."

"I cannot drink too much, otherwise I will definitely drink myself to death."

"This is not suitable for us Nascent Soul Cultivators; it is only suitable for Transformation God Cultivators."

"No, no, no, even Transformation God Cultivators cannot drink too much; the after-effect is too powerful."

After drinking some fifth-tier Spirit Wine, Qian Ziyun, Taohua Shangren, Leng Yuexi, Chu Dieyi, Xia Shuiyang, and the other Dao Companions all had flushed, pretty faces, their entire bodies in a heated state.

At the same time, their own cultivation levels had also improved visibly, beyond imagination.

This was no less than any fifth-tier Treasure Pill.

"Husband."

At this moment, Qian Ziyun and the others looked at Zhou Sui with eyes as alluring as silk, appearing extremely bold.

Because of the effects of the alcohol, they were particularly uninhibited.

"I had better take you to sober up."

Zhou Sui was quite helpless and immediately led his Dao Companions into the hot spring.

Not long after, sounds of the Dao that shook the heavens echoed from within, lingering for three days.

………

Time flew by.

Almost in the blink of an eye, one hundred years had passed.

The entire Canglan Sea naturally underwent earth-shaking changes.

Xuanbao Pavilion, Sunset Sect, Heavenly Demon Sect, Tianjian Sect, and other sects all submitted to the Xuanhuang Sect, becoming subordinate sects of the Xuanhuang Sect, ruled by the Xuanhuang Sect and paying corresponding taxes every year.

Thanks to the Xuanhuang Sect unifying the Canglan Sea, it integrated the entire power of the Human Race.

This also made this sea area much safer.

Many Monster Beasts and demons that attempted to invade were quickly slaughtered by the disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect.

It can be said that this also made this sea area much safer.

The entire sea area also began to follow the lead of the Xuanhuang Sect.

…………

Canglan Sea, a certain Three-Tier Island.

This was an island ruled by the Golden Core Bai Family.

Rumble—

Suddenly, the heavens shook and the earth trembled; a Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation descended. Clearly, this was the Bai Family Ancestor, Bai Hongzhi, undergoing his tribulation.

Speaking of Bai Hongzhi, he could be considered a legendary figure.

He was originally just an ordinary person, but he inadvertently entered a Golden Core Cave Abode and obtained the inheritance of a Golden Core True Person.

Coupled with his First Grade Spiritual Root aptitude, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

More than a hundred years ago, his luck was extremely good, and he obtained a spiritual item for forming a Nascent Soul.

Thus, Bai Hongzhi did not say a word and immediately went into deep seclusion.

A full hundred years passed, and just when many Bai Family descendants thought their Ancestor had died, news of Bai Hongzhi undergoing his tribulation suddenly arrived, making every Bai Family descendant wild with joy.

Boom—

Not long after, Bai Hongzhi finally succeeded in passing the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation and officially became a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator. He was an old man wearing a white robe, and he was nearly four hundred years old.

"Haha, I succeeded."

"I never expected that I, Bai Hongzhi, would eventually become a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"From now on, I am a hegemon of the Canglan Sea."

Bai Hongzhi laughed heartily, stroked his graying beard, and was incomparably joyful, feeling a sense of triumph.

Because in the Canglan Sea, Golden Core Cultivators could only be considered mid-level cultivators.

Only by becoming a Nascent Soul could one be considered a true high-level bigwig, ruling over a territory.

And one could also obtain 1,200 years of Longevity; one can imagine the value of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

"Congratulations, Ancestor, congratulations, Ancestor."

The many Bai Family descendants had also been waiting for a long time, and they all surrounded him, wild with joy.

From now on, they were a true Nascent Soul family.

At the very least, for the next thousand years, their Bai Family would be renowned and would not be bullied by others.

Their status would also rise with the tide.

"Not bad, not bad."

"It seems that during the time I was in seclusion, the Bai Family has developed quite well."

Bai Hongzhi looked at the Bai Family disciples around him, some familiar and some strange, and he felt very satisfied at once.

At the very least, after his seclusion ended, he did not see a scene where the Bai Family had been wiped out by enemies.

This could also be considered a fortunate thing.

"Since the Ancestor has advanced to Nascent Soul, we can report this to the Xuanhuang Sect, and our Bai Family can be promoted to a Nascent Soul family."

"We could even move our Bai Family to a Fourth-tier Island."

A Bai Family Elder laughed heartily, feeling very joyful.

"What 'report to the Xuanhuang Sect'? What do you mean by that?"

"I, your Ancestor, have just advanced to Nascent Soul, and you already want to betray the Bai Family? What is your true intention?"

Hearing this, Bai Hongzhi's face turned green.

He did not expect that such a blatant traitor would appear in the Bai Family, wanting to report to others at every turn; it was simply outrageous!

Now that he had become a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he was a hegemon of a region.

Even the Xuanhuang Sect would have to treat him with courtesy.

"Ancestor, please calm your anger."

"I do not wish to betray the Bai Family."

"It is just that if our Bai Family wants to possess a Fourth-tier Spirit Vein, I fear we cannot change islands without reporting it to the Xuanhuang Sect."

That Bai Family Elder immediately said with fear and trepidation.

"That's right, the Ancestor has been in seclusion for over a hundred years and perhaps is not yet clear about what has happened in the Canglan Sea."

"The Xuanhuang Sect is no longer what it used to be; it now possesses three Spirit Severing Venerables."

"The Tianjian Sect, Xuanbao Pavilion, Heavenly Demon Sect, Sunset Sect, and other Nascent Soul sects have all successively submitted to the Xuanhuang Sect."

"They have become vassal sects of the Xuanhuang Sect and must pay taxes to the Xuanhuang Sect every year."

"The Xuanhuang Sect even possesses control over all the islands in the entire Canglan Sea; every island is under the control of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Any family or sect that wants to occupy a Spirit Vein needs to report it to the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Otherwise, it is an illegal occupation of a Spirit Vein and will be punished by the Xuanhuang Sect."

"The light punishment is exile to the frontier, and the heavy punishment is the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan."

Many Bai Family Elders said with great helplessness.

After all, the changes over these hundred years were truly too great, completely different from before.

Previously, they could easily occupy Third-tier Islands and Fourth-tier Islands.

But now, if they do not register with the Xuanhuang Sect, they are an illegal organization and will be punished by the Xuanhuang Sect.

"Too overbearing."

"Although the Xuanhuang Sect is a Spirit Severing sect, this is going too far."

"It is simply collecting taxes from all the Cultivators in the world; who gave them such power?"

"Is there really no one resisting?"

Bai Hongzhi was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

He never thought that even after becoming a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he would still be bullied by a sect power.

"Of course there are people who resist, and there are those who do not want to pay taxes."

"But the Xuanhuang Sect is so vicious."

"They actually introduced a reporting policy."

"If someone discovers a family or sect that is illegally occupying a Spirit Vein without a grade and reports it to the Xuanhuang Sect,"

"then they will immediately receive a reward from the Xuanhuang Sect."

"They can even receive ten percent of that family's property after it is confiscated."

"Once this policy came out, many families were simply terrified and trembling with fear."

"After all, no one can be sure that there are no traitors around them."

"Once a report is successful, the benefits gained are truly too great."

"In fact, that is exactly what happened; many people immediately reported these illegal families and illegal sects."

"As a result, people from the Xuanhuang Sect came to their door to confiscate their property and exterminate their clans."

A Bai Family Great Elder said with great helplessness.

Naturally, they also did not want to pay taxes, but facing the many policies of the Xuanhuang Sect, they were completely powerless to fight back, at their wits' end, and could only obediently submit.

"The Canglan Sea is so vast; can the Xuanhuang Sect really cover every area of the sea?"

"Could it be that they are not worried about someone retaliating against the Xuanhuang Sect?"

"Even if the Xuanhuang Sect is a Spirit Severing sect and has Spirit Severing support,"

"ordinary disciples or common Cultivators would still be dead if they were ambushed and killed by other Cultivators, right?"

Bai Hongzhi said in a deep voice.

He always felt that the Xuanhuang Sect's conduct was too overbearing, simply forcing everyone in the world to rebel.

Collecting taxes from all Cultivators—if this isn't forcing the Cultivators of the world to rebel, then what is?

"The Ancestor has been in seclusion for so long, so perhaps you do not know."

"The Xuanhuang Sect is not just as simple as possessing three Transformation God Cultivators."

"It is said that the Xuanhuang Ancestor has also learned a Beast-Taming Method and can command ten thousand beasts."

"Many Fourth-tier Beasts have been tamed by Xuanhuang Ancestor and have become the sect's Spirit Beasts."

"Right now, the entire Xuanhuang Sect has fifty thousand Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts."

"It is precisely these Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts that have suppressed the surroundings of the Canglan Sea."

A Bai Family Elder said with terror.

The reason why so many Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts were tamed.

Naturally, it is thanks to Zhou Sui's many clones.

These clones are scattered throughout the Immortal Cultivation World, spread across the Eastern Wasteland Continent, Western Wasteland Continent, Southern Wasteland Continent, Northern Wasteland Continent, and so on.

It is not just limited to the Canglan Sea.

It can be said that these places also have a large number of Fourth-tier Monster Beasts, ravaging human territories.

After being discovered by Zhou Sui's clones, they naturally took action personally, converting them one after another and integrating the Nightmare Seed.

Therefore, over the past hundred years, many Fourth-tier Monster Beasts have been tamed, all becoming the mountain-protecting Spirit Beasts of the Xuanhuang Sect.

"That's right, although the Ancestor has ascended to Nascent Soul and is indeed powerful."

"But the times have changed now."

"A Nascent Soul Ancestor is not much to the Xuanhuang Sect anymore."

Another Bai Family Elder said in a somewhat tactful tone.

"This!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhihong's face turned green; he was no fool, so how could he not know what the other party was saying.

If it were over a hundred years ago, a Nascent Soul Ancestor could indeed dominate a region and rule over ten million miles of sea.

But now, the Xuanhuang Sect has suddenly risen, with over forty thousand Fourth-tier Spirit Beasts under its banner, its strength terrifying to an absurd degree.

He is merely a Human Cultivator who has just ascended to Nascent Soul.

If he were to offend the Xuanhuang Sect, he would likely be ground to dust the very next day.

Although his strength is still formidable, his status is not that important.

At the very least, the Xuanhuang Sect would not place too much importance on him.

"What is even more terrifying is that Xuanhuang Ancestor is also proficient in the Divination Art and tracking techniques."

"As long as someone has offended Xuanhuang Ancestor or the Xuanhuang Sect, they can forget about running, no matter where they hide."

"Previously, there were some demonic cultivators who thought their concealment abilities were peerless and felt that the Canglan Sea was vast, so even if they offended the Xuanhuang Sect, it didn't matter, and they could still escape."

"But Xuanhuang Ancestor performed divination personally, instantly locked onto the other party's location, and captured them in one fell swoop."

"Since then, no one has dared to secretly ambush Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators, unless they want to die."

Yet another Bai Family Elder tactfully advised.

The path of trying to secretly ambush Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators is a dead end.

As long as one makes a move once, death is certain.

No matter where one hides, it is a dead end.

"Ahem, put that way, it seems that becoming a vassal family of the Xuanhuang Sect isn't so bad."

Bai Zhihong coughed, and he immediately lost his nerve.

The pride of having just become a Nascent Soul Cultivator vanished without a trace.

Knowing when to yield and when to stand tall is the mark of a great man.

Since he cannot win, he can only choose to join.

Although the Xuanhuang Sect is a bit overbearing, it hasn't left people without a way to survive.

As long as one follows the rules, everyone can actually live quite well.

It is just not as unscrupulous and lawless as before.

"Just now you said to report my news upward, what exactly is that about?"

Bai Zhihong asked.

"Ancestor, it is actually like this."

"The Xuanhuang Sect's vassal system is very well-developed."

"All families and sects need to register."

"According to their strength, they are divided into Foundation Establishment families, Golden Core families, Nascent Soul families, etc., and the same applies to sects."

"As long as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is born, it is a Foundation Establishment family or Foundation Establishment sect, and they can occupy a Second-tier Spirit Vein."

"Like our Bai Family, now that the Ancestor has become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, we are naturally a Nascent Soul family and can occupy a Fourth-tier Spirit Vein."

"Of course, if you want to ascend, you don't just need a Nascent Soul Cultivator; you also need sufficient Contribution Points."

"So if we report the Ancestor's news upward, our Bai Family can migrate to a Fourth-tier Island and occupy a Fourth-tier Spirit Vein, so everyone can gain huge benefits."

Many Bai Family Elders discussed among themselves.

"So that's how it is."

"So that's how it is."

Bai Zhihong immediately understood why the Elders wanted to report his news to the Xuanhuang Sect; it turned out they wanted to migrate to a Fourth-tier Island, which might not be a bad thing.

Although they would be under the constraints of the Xuanhuang Sect and need to pay taxes, in this current environment, everyone is the same, and the Bai Family cannot be an exception.

Unless he becomes a Loose Cultivator, does not need a Spirit Vein, and does not want the family to develop.

Otherwise, he still needs a stable place.

Moreover, under the control of the Xuanhuang Sect, various families and sects will not start wars casually.

Everyone maintains a stable situation.

Compared to before, it is actually much safer.

In fact, he had been in seclusion for a hundred years, and the Bai Family had not encountered any accidents, remaining as prosperous as the midday sun; this was also thanks to the sect system of the Xuanhuang Sect, otherwise, they would have long since been attacked by other Golden Core families.

"If I want to become a Guest Elder of the Xuanhuang Sect, I wonder if that is possible?"

Bai Zhihong's heart stirred.

If he were to become an Elder of the Xuanhuang Sect, wouldn't that be a step straight to the heavens?

At that time, he would become a person in power, possessing immense authority, and the benefits he would obtain would naturally be even greater.

"As for that, it is highly unlikely to work."

"Because the Xuanhuang Sect is currently not lacking Nascent Soul Cultivators."

"Previously, there were other Nascent Souls who wanted to become Guest Elders of the Xuanhuang Sect, but they were all rejected."

"They are more interested in cultivating the disciples of the Xuanhuang Sect, rather than outsiders at the Nascent Soul stage."

A Bai Family Elder said helplessly.

"This."

Bai Zhihong was speechless, not knowing what else to say.

In the past, when the five great righteous sects were still around, no matter which power a Nascent Soul Ancestor went to, they would be treated as an honored guest, and the powers would even have to beg them before they would agree to join.

Now, it is different; the Xuanhuang Sect actually does not even welcome Nascent Soul Elders.

It cannot be said that they are unwelcome, but the level of importance placed on them is more than a grade lower than before.

"If this is the case, how does the Xuanhuang Sect recruit disciples?"

"If my Bai Family has descendants who can enter the Xuanhuang Sect, wouldn't that be a step straight to the heavens?"

Bai Zhihong said in a deep voice.

"As for that."

"The Xuanhuang Sect seems to recruit disciples once a year."

"And there are no great requirements for aptitude; it depends on fate."

"Therefore, every year, the various major sects and families send over a large batch of Cultivators with Spirit Roots."

"If among them there are disciples recognized by the Xuanhuang Sect, then those major sects and families will receive rewards from the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Depending on the disciple's grade, they might obtain treasures such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, or even Nascent Soul Pills."

A Bai Family Elder said.

"What?!"

"If this is the case, wouldn't all the major powers risk their lives to send their excellent disciples to the Xuanhuang Sect?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhihong was very moved.

Clearly, in this way, the Xuanhuang Sect could recruit genius disciples from the entire Canglan Sea without even stepping out of their doors.

Any Cultivator who possesses supreme talent will join the Xuanhuang Sect.

Over the long term, I fear the Xuanhuang Sect will be even more able to secure its monopolistic position.

Perhaps every generation could produce a Transformation God, truly shaking the world and becoming an eternal sect.

"That is indeed the case."

"But there is no other way; the Xuanhuang Sect gives too much."

The Bai Family Elder said helplessly.

However, in reality, even if they truly found disciples with excellent Spirit Root aptitude, they might not necessarily be able to cultivate them.

After all, such geniuses certainly require a great deal of resources.

At most, they could cultivate them to the Foundation Establishment Realm; reaching the Golden Core Realm would be quite good.

To ascend to higher realms, if one does not enter the Xuanhuang Sect, it is basically an impossible task.

"How is the situation in the Canglan Sea recently?"

Bai Zhihong asked curiously.

When he was in seclusion, Boundary Gates appeared all over the Canglan Sea, and a large number of Monster Beasts surged in, causing extreme chaos.

Fortunately, the place where the Bai Family is located is very remote, and they did not encounter the disaster of the Monster Beasts.

That is why he dared to go into deep seclusion on this island.

But even so, he did not think the Monster Beast disaster would end so quickly.

A Fusion Phenomenon like this must last for at least several thousand years.

"It is very chaotic."

"Ancestor, you may not know yet."

"While you were in seclusion, the Ancient Demon World also descended, and an Ancient Demon Gate appeared."

"A large number of demons attempted to surge out from the Ancient Demon Gate to invade our Immortal Cultivation World."

"Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Ancestor took action in time and sealed the area around the Ancient Demon Gate, avoiding this catastrophe."

"But even so, those demons still ran out from the portals of the Monster World; it is simply impossible to guard against them all."

The Bai Family Elder briefly explained the chaos that had occurred over the past hundred years.

It was even more cruel and bloody than before.

If the Xuanhuang Sect had not emerged and unified the many sects, no one would know how many people would have died.

Therefore, even if the Xuanhuang Sect needs to collect taxes, the many Cultivators do not have many complaints.

"What three-world fusion?"

"The Ancient Demon World has also appeared?"

"A reenactment of the demon disaster of the Ancient Era?!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhihong's pupils contracted, and his heart was stirred with stormy waves; it was simply unbelievable.

The invasion of Monster Beasts alone is already a huge trouble.

I did not expect the Demon Clan to follow closely behind.

This is simply not intending to leave a way for the Human Race to survive.

"That's right, fortunately the main direction of the Demon Clan's attack this time is still the Ancient Demon World."

"It is said that a large number of Demon Clan members broke into the Ancient Demon World and started fighting with the Demon Race, causing countless deaths and injuries to the Demon Race."

"Over the past hundred years, the Ancient Demon World can be described as being filled with the flames of war, and many races have been wiped out."

"It is rumored that some Spirit Severing Venerable Demon Cultivators have also fallen."

"So during this period, there will also be a large number of Monster Beasts fleeing, wanting to escape to our Immortal Cultivation World to take refuge."

"Of course, because the Boundary Gate has not yet grown to its full form, at most it can only accommodate Fourth-Tier Demon Cultivators to enter."

"As for Spirit Severing Demon Cultivators, they still have no way to come over for the time being."

A Bai Family Elder said with schadenfreude.

For the Human Race, the best result is naturally for the Demon Race and the Demon Clan to both suffer and sustain heavy losses.

This way, the Human Race can sit back and reap the benefits.

"This is troublesome now."

"If this is the case, after the Demon Clan wipes out the Demon Race, won't the next one be our Human Race?"

"According to the records in ancient books, these demons are difficult to eliminate."

"Even the Demon Qi within their bodies can erode other life forms and transform other life into demon creatures."

"The most hateful thing is that even if you really kill the demons, the Demon Qi left behind by their corpses can still erode the earth, pollute Spirit Veins, Spirit Fields, and Spirit Medicine, etc."

"When the demon invasion occurred in the Ancient Era, it took at least thousands of years for this Demon Qi to completely dissipate, and that era was also called the Darkness era of the Immortal Cultivation World."

"The number of Cultivators who died was simply countless."

Bai Zhihong's expression was very solemn.

He originally thought that after he advanced to Nascent Soul, he could be carefree.

Who could have thought that he would encounter an invasion by the Demon Clan in his lifetime.

That is to say, they will also experience the Darkness era of the Ancient Era.

Perhaps even the entire Bai Family might not survive in such a Darkness era.

"Ancestor, there is no need to worry about this point."

"The era is already different."

"The Xuanhuang Sect seems to have mastered the method of refining Demon Clan corpses."

"Those difficult-to-handle Demon Clan corpses can all be sold to the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Then, according to the strength and quantity of the Demon Clan corpses, we can obtain the corresponding grade of Spirit Wine."

"For example, if we can hand over Nascent Soul-level Demon Clan corpses, we can obtain Fourth-Rank Spirit Wine."

"Because of this, a large number of demon-hunting Cultivators have appeared in the Canglan Sea."

"They specialize in hunting down lone demons."

"Then they sell these Demon Clan corpses to the Xuanhuang Sect to obtain Spirit Wine."

Many Bai Family Elders explained.

In fact, they had also hunted some demons, obtained Demon Clan corpses, and then obtained Spirit Wine.

"No way, you can actually obtain Fourth-Rank Spirit Wine?!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhihong was dumbfounded and simply couldn't believe it.

He certainly knows how expensive Fourth-Rank Spirit Wine is.

It is not to say it is worth a fortune, but ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators would not dare to drink a few pots.

After all, to brew Fourth-Rank Spirit Wine, one doesn't know how much Fourth-Tier Spirit Medicine is needed.

Such a cost is not something ordinary Cultivators can afford.

If one could obtain a large amount of Fourth-Rank Spirit Wine, I am afraid that many Nascent Soul Cultivators would go crazy.

Because the value of Spirit Wine is truly too great.

After taking it, not only can it quickly improve the Dharma Power in one's body, but there are also not many side effects.

For a Cultivator, it can be called one of the best resources for improving cultivation.

He did not expect the Xuanhuang Sect to be so generous, willing to use Spirit Wine to exchange for the corpses of demons.

This also made the Demon Clan corpses, which originally had no use and could only pollute the land, suddenly become highly sought after.

And this also greatly increased the enthusiasm of Cultivators to hunt demons.

"No wonder the Xuanhuang Sect levies taxes on every force, yet there is not much resistance."

"The Xuanhuang Sect not only possesses the strength to suppress all monsters and demons."

"At the same time, it also controls a large amount of cultivation resources."

"With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, they have firmly grasped many forces."

Bai Zhihong was very emotional.

Now he can be considered to know the power of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Clearly, this is an unprecedented overlord sect in the Canglan Sea.

As long as the Spirit Severing Venerable of the Xuanhuang Sect does not disappear, the Xuanhuang Sect will not step down from its overlord position.

"Ancestor, we need to go to Xuanhuang Island to register as a Nascent Soul family."

"I am afraid we need the Ancestor to make the trip with us."

An Elder spoke up.

"Alright, then let's go over and take a look."

Hearing this, Bai Zhihong also nodded; he was also extremely curious about what Xuanhuang Island looked like now.

Clearly, Xuanhuang Island had already become the central island of the entire Canglan Sea.

At the same time, it was also the most prosperous and bustling island, containing endless cultivation resources.

Any Cultivator who wanted to advance further would head to Xuanhuang Island to seek opportunities.

Several days later.

Bai Zhihong brought many Bai Family Elders and arrived directly at Xuanhuang Island via a nearby Teleportation Array.

Now, Xuanhuang Island had become a transit station for the Canglan Sea.

Basically, Cultivators from all over the Canglan Sea would arrive at Xuanhuang Island first.

Then, they would use the Ancient Teleportation Array on Xuanhuang Island to teleport to various islands throughout the Canglan Sea.

Therefore, the entire island was incomparably prosperous, gathering Cultivators from all corners of the sea.

The place they arrived at was Qinglong City.

This was also one of the most prosperous cities on Xuanhuang Island.

The number of Cultivators living inside Qinglong City was simply countless.

"How could it be so bustling?"

Bai Zhihong was very surprised.

It wasn't as if he hadn't been to some large islands.

But compared to Xuanhuang Island, the islands he had visited before were simply trash.

There were simply too many Cultivators staying here.

Moreover, their cultivation levels were extremely high; Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators were everywhere.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivators could be seen occasionally.

When had he ever seen such a scene of so many high-level Cultivators gathered in one place?

"Of course, it is because Xuanhuang Island gathers a massive amount of materials."

"For example, all kinds of Pills, Spirit Medicine, Minerals, and so on."

"One can also buy Talismans, Array Formations, and Dharma Treasures."

"In short, this place has every Treasure you could want, and the prices are cheap."

A Bai Family Elder explained.

"How could the prices of Pills be so much cheaper?"

"Even Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills have appeared at auctions; can they be bought so easily?"

Bai Zhihong found it hard to believe.

Because he discovered that the Pills here were far cheaper than they were over a hundred years ago, at least more than half as cheap.

The prices of various Talismans and Dharma Treasures were the same, much cheaper.

He simply wished he could buy all these Treasures; the cost-performance ratio was too high.

"It is all because of the appearance of the Fusion Phenomenon."

"Due to the fusion with the Ancient Demon World, we have encountered a massive invasion of Monster Beasts."

"Therefore, we Human Cultivators are able to hunt many Monster Beasts and obtain the materials on their bodies."

"The materials from these Monster Beasts can not only be used for Alchemy, but also for crafting Talismans, Dharma Treasures, and so on."

"Because the raw materials are cheap, various finished products are naturally much cheaper as well."

The many Bai Family Elders said.

"It seems that the appearance of the Fusion Phenomenon is not necessarily a bad thing sometimes."

"If one's strength is sufficiently powerful, this might even be a good thing."

"Because Humans can plunder a massive amount of resources from the Ancient Demon World."

"I am afraid that in this current era, more Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul Cultivators are being born than before."

Bai Zhihong's pupils constricted.

He immediately realized that this was an unprecedented golden age of cultivation, perhaps even comparable to the Ancient Era.

For the weak, such an era might be a disaster.

But for the strong, it was a great opportunity to rise.

He seemed to see the arrival of a great cultivation era.

Perhaps, in the future, he would also have the hope of ascending to the Deity Transformation stage.

…………

Of course, Cultivators like Bai Zhihong were everywhere in the Canglan Sea.

They also sensed the arrival of a vast era.

If anyone could seize the opportunity, they would be able to soar into the sky.

At this very moment, at Xuanhuang Peak of the Xuanhuang Sect, in a Cave Abode.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating the Seven Apertures Exquisite Book.

Ever since he obtained the complete version of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Book, he naturally would not miss it, wanting to condense the remaining four Heart Eyes to strengthen his own power.

Unfortunately, the further one went, the difficulty of condensing Heart Eyes doubled.

So, he had bitterly cultivated for over a hundred years and was finally about to condense the fourth Heart Eye, Heart Eye Observing Heart.

This Heart Eye could listen to the inner voices of others and could also distinguish good from evil.

Once this Heart Eye was mastered, what others were thinking in their hearts would almost be impossible to hide from him.

Of course, those with profound cultivation might also shield their inner hearts, making it impossible to gain insight into their thoughts.

However, when dealing with enemies whose cultivation is lower than one's own, it is simply a divine skill, invincible and ever-victorious.

Whatever others are thinking in their hearts, he can see through it as clearly as a blazing fire.

Therefore, the difficulty of condensing this Heart Eye can be imagined; it is simply several times greater than before.

Rumble~~~

At this moment, deep within Zhou Sui's heart, a special Heart Eye is being continuously outlined.

Regarding this process of outlining the Heart Eye, he has used the power of the Book Gu to simulate it tens of thousands of times.

It can be said that he has long been fully prepared.

Boom~~

At this very instant, when the final Soul imprint was outlined, it was as if the last piece of a puzzle or the final component had been found, and it instantly combined into a complete whole.

A special Heart Eye was condensed in a flash.

It bloomed with golden light, like a brilliant sun.

Deep within the pupil, dense and mysterious Runes emerged, unfathomable.

At this moment, Zhou Sui perceived that his entire world had changed, and the way he viewed the world was completely different from before.

His divine sense continuously expanded outward, covering an area with a radius of one hundred thousand li.

Countless Cultivators throughout the Xuanhuang Sect were within his range of perception.

The many inner voices from Human Cultivators were also transmitted into the depths of his sea of consciousness like a broadcast.

"In this sect competition, I must enter the top ten; I want to prove that I am no worse than anyone else."

"Damn it, what is so good about Senior Brother Liu? Why does Junior Sister Yao like him and not me?"

"Strange, is the Wither-Prosper Art really that difficult? Why can't I enter a higher level no matter how I comprehend it? It seems I must go to Book Mountain again to gain insights, but unfortunately, my Contribution Points are not enough."

"Sigh, there are too many geniuses in the Xuanhuang Sect. Can I really get ahead here? Master said my Luck is astonishing and I have hope of reaching Deity Transformation in the future; he wouldn't be fooling me, would he?"

"Haha, joining the Xuanhuang Sect was the right choice. They actually provide food and lodging here; finally, I don't have to go hungry. It seems dinner is about to start, I must go and grab a seat, otherwise, it will definitely be snatched by other fellow disciples."

"When exactly will my husband come out of seclusion? It is truly too boring."

Suddenly, the voices of one Cultivator after another submerged into the depths of Zhou Sui's sea of consciousness.

"Interesting, is this Heart Eye Observing Heart?"

"It can actually listen to the inner voices of others and perceive their kindness or malice."

Zhou Sui touched his chin, feeling astonished.

Clearly, the ability of this Heart Eye is also quite astonishing.

If utilized properly, one could likely be tactful and become a social expert.

At the same time, one could also make good friends, gain insight into various interpersonal relationships, and be able to mix in anywhere like a fish in water.

It must be said that this kind of ability is indeed beyond imagination.

It is equivalent to a powerful divine ability.

"Sure enough, this cultivation technique is not an ordinary divine ability, but an Immortal Technique."

"No wonder it is so difficult to practice; it is simply not something ordinary people can cultivate."

"It is no wonder that over a million years, no one in the Immortal Cultivation World has been able to successfully cultivate this technique."

Zhou Sui was very moved.

Even though he successfully cultivated the fourth Heart Eye, Heart Eye Observing Heart, he still felt that this technique was extremely difficult.
