Chapter 365: Hiding Beauty in a Golden House, Tying the Knot Together, Ascending to Heavenly Spirit

In the distance, the Hehuan Sect.

Many Hehuan Sect Disciples also saw this scene, each and every one of them dumbfounded and in disbelief.

"No way, they just wiped out that group of Spirit Severing demons like that?"

"This is simply too fast."

A Hehuan Sect Elder was stunned.

To be honest, she did not think highly of the outcome of this battle; after all, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.

They were simply not on the same level.

Defending the Hehuan Sect and relying on the power of the Array Formation to barely resist the Demon Race's offensive was already considered quite good.

Now, to actually take the initiative to attack and fight the Demon Race was purely seeking one's own death.

But look at it now: the Senior Zhou before their eyes personally took action and, with his own strength, routed the demon army.

Such a thing is simply a miracle.

No one expected such a thing to actually happen; it is truly inconceivable.

Even a Spirit Severing Venerable from the Ancient Era would be nothing more than this, right?

"Senior Zhou is truly too strong."

"No wonder Senior Zhou dared to come to the rescue alone; it is truly incredible."

"It is equivalent to routing a hundred Spirit Severing demons with his own strength; it is simply earth-shattering."

"It's a pity that Senior Zhou has already been taken a fancy to by the Sect Master; otherwise, I would be willing to be a slave or a maid."

"Stop dreaming, why would Senior Zhou take a fancy to your willow-like figure?"

"Hehe, even if the Senior is unwilling to take me as a concubine, I would be willing even for just one night of pleasure."

"You still want to sleep with Senior Zhou? You are quite shameless."

"That's right, we probably couldn't even touch a Reincarnated Immortal like the Senior."

The many female Cultivators of the Hehuan Sect chattered away.

They looked at Zhou Sui with seductive eyes, each clearly revealing the appearance of a young girl in love.

Female Cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World are like this, highly admiring the strong.

Especially the female Cultivators of the Hehuan Sect; they yearn for powerful male Cultivators even more.

It is a pity that no matter how they postured and preened, they could not attract the attention of Senior Zhou.

"Too strong."

"Is this still a Cultivator at the Spirit Severing stage?"

Qiu Ruyu also widened her beautiful eyes, her heart shocked beyond measure.

She is also a Cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Severing Initial Stage, so she naturally knows what kind of abilities a Spirit Severing Cultivator truly possesses.

For a normal Human Spirit Severing Cultivator, dealing with a Spirit Severing demon of the same rank alone is an extremely difficult task.

Let alone challenging those of a higher rank or fighting many with few.

One can only say that the man before her is simply a monster, the number one Human Cultivator in tens of thousands of years.

Even looking at the history of the Immortal Cultivation World over the past million years, this is a unique existence.

But thinking about it carefully, in the past, this man was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, yet he could kill Spirit Severing demons.

That was already an incredible achievement.

Now that such things are happening, it seems there is nothing hard to understand.

If she could unite with such a man and give birth to a child, she doesn't even know what kind of genius could be conceived.

Thinking of this, her pretty face could not help but reveal a hint of a blush, simply stunningly beautiful.

…………

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Not long after, three thousand Gold-Eating Insects all flew back.

Their bodies were also shrinking rapidly, turning to the size of rice grains.

Then they all returned to the side of the Gold-Eating Mother Insect.

Because these Gold-Eating Insects were all birthed by the Gold-Eating Mother Insect, they can be considered its descendants.

Or one could also call them clones.

After all, these Gold-Eating Insects have no intelligence whatsoever; they only possess instinct and obey the commands of the Gold-Eating Mother Insect.

Suddenly, these Gold-Eating Insects all submerged into the body of the Gold-Eating Mother Insect.

Because the interior of the Gold-Eating Mother Insect is actually a giant insect nest, containing a special space within its body.

The Gold-Eating Insects birthed will grow rapidly within its body, or otherwise rest and recuperate.

"Not bad."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

The current Gold-Eating Insect swarm has begun to possess a trace of the momentum of a natural disaster from the Immortal World.

Even a massive and numerous demon army is still far inferior compared to the Gold-Eating Insect swarm.

And this is only having birthed three thousand Spirit Severing-level Gold-Eating Insects.

If the number were to reach ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand, that would be an invincible existence.

"However, wanting to raise so many Gold-Eating Insects is not a simple matter."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

To be honest, the reason why only three thousand Gold-Eating Insects have been birthed so far is because, according to the current resources of the Immortal Cultivation World, it can only support this many.

If too many Gold-Eating Insects were birthed, even if the many mineral veins of the Xuanhuang World were devoured by them, it would not be enough for them to eat.

It wouldn't do for the entire world to be eaten away by them.

Therefore, the quantity of food limits the quantity of Gold-Eating Insect.

"By the way, the food for the Gold-Eating Insect is not just various Mineral."

"In fact, they can also eat some special plants."

"Essentially, they are omnivorous creatures."

"It seems there is a special plant called Gold Wood Bamboo."

"This plant contains the attributes of gold and contains vast Geng Metal Qi."

"Moreover, its growth rate is extremely fast; it will grow into a bamboo forest at the drop of a hat."

"If Gold Wood Bamboo could be planted on a large scale, it would satisfy the daily food requirements of the Gold-Eating Insect."

"Most importantly, Gold Wood Bamboo can continuously regenerate."

"There is absolutely no need to worry about the resources of the entire world being eaten to extinction by the Gold-Eating Insect."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He felt that planting Gold Wood Bamboo on a large scale in the Xuanhuang World was a fairly simple matter.

After all, with the power of the Medicine Gu here, cultivating plants was simply too elementary.

Once the cultivation is successful, then one can breed the Gold-Eating Insect on a large scale.

This is also equivalent to him having an additional massive Gold-Eating Insect army, which is simply invincible.

"However, even after annihilating this army of Demon Clan, it seems the crisis has not weakened in the slightest."

"At most, it has weakened just a little bit."

"Could it be that the Demon Clan truly possesses even more powerful strength?"

Zhou Sui moved his consciousness.

He sensed that the Tribulation Qi on his body had still not disappeared; it was still incomparably thick, practically like dark clouds covering his head.

In other words, even if he has now wiped out this massive army of Demon Clan and helped the Hehuan Sect resolve this crisis, it does not mean the tribulation on his body has vanished.

Instead, it is becoming more and more intense.

The Tribulation Qi is even thicker than before.

"Right, the Demon Clan has at least three thousand Transformation Spirit Demon Clan."

"Even if one hundred have been slain now, at least two thousand nine hundred remain."

"The remaining strength is still incomparably powerful."

"If they were to attack the Xuanhuang Sect collectively, it would likely pose no small threat."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He could sense the unfathomable power of the Demon Clan.

No wonder the Human Race and Demon Race of the Ancient Era were beaten back step by step by the Demon Clan, with almost no power to fight back.

One can only say that the strength of the Demon Clan is indeed incomparably powerful.

Wanting to completely annihilate this race is not as simple as one might imagine.

"No, that's not right."

"Besides the three thousand Transformation Spirit Demon Clan, there should be other means."

"It is a pity that the Luck Gu only provides Precognition of some future scenes."

"Yet it is unable to know all the details of the future."

"Forget it, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."

"Once the Demon Clan makes a move, I will naturally know the means of the Demon Clan."

At this very moment, Zhou Sui also calmed down.

He felt that no matter what means the Demon Clan employs, he is basically in an invincible position.

Moreover, he does not intend to attack the Underground Demon Cave.

As long as he does not go deep into the Underground Demon Cave, the Demon Clan cannot do anything to him, even with a hundred different methods.

By holding his ground near the Evergreen Immortal Vine, he is already in an invincible position.

Most importantly, his cultivation speed is extremely fast, faster than those Demon Clan.

When the time comes, as long as he advances to Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage, Spirit Severing Perfection, or even the Refining Void Realm, he can then use his strength to completely crush and easily slaughter the Demon Clan.

Therefore, time is on his side.

Swoosh!

Without thinking too much, Zhou Sui retrieved the Gold-Eating Insect Queen and then returned to the Hehuan Sect.

"Thank you, Senior, for taking action and saving our Hehuan Sect."

Seeing Zhou Sui return, the many female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect all had their eyes light up at once.

Every one of them was a scheming vixen.

Just now, while Zhou Sui had not yet returned, they had all dressed themselves up to be beautiful as flowers, wearing cool, revealing clothing.

They were posing and preening.

It was as if a hundred flowers were competing for beauty.

They all wore the look of intending to offer themselves in return for the life-saving grace.

One can only say that they are worthy of being Hehuan Sect female cultivators; every one of them is so bold, passionate, and uninhibited.

"Ahem, you are welcome."

"Everyone is a member of the Human Race, and we should look out for one another."

"This is only right and proper."

Zhou Sui coughed, putting on the appearance of an upright gentleman.

He was a senior expert and a refined gentleman now; he couldn't possibly look like someone worse than a beast.

Fortunately, however, he was a veteran of a hundred battles with rich experience.

Otherwise, he really might have been defeated in front of these Hehuan Sect female Cultivators.

"No, no, no. To a senior, it was just a small effort, but to us, it was a life-saving grace. We have no way to repay such kindness."

"That's right. We are all Hehuan Sect female Cultivators with no special skills, only our looks are worth seeing. If Senior is willing, we are all willing to be your concubines and serve you for life."

"If Senior is willing to spend the night with me and contemplate yin and yang, it would be our good fortune."

Many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators blinked their beautiful eyes, looking at Zhou Sui with longing, almost without any concealment.

Every one of them was like a wolf or a tiger.

Clearly, he had received a warm welcome from the many female Cultivators of the Hehuan Sect.

After all, this time he had saved the lives of all the female Cultivators in the entire Hehuan Sect, which was equivalent to a life-saving grace.

One could imagine the gratitude in their hearts.

Of course, more importantly, the invincible strength Zhou Sui displayed made them secretly pledge their hearts to him.

If they could obtain the protection of such a man, they would be able to survive in this chaotic world.

Because no one knew how many more such demon calamities there would be.

If they came again next time, the man before them might not necessarily step in to save them.

That was why they wanted to deepen their connection with Zhou Sui.

"Enough, what are you all saying here?"

"What kind of nonsense are you all spouting here?"

"Do not make things difficult for Daoist Zhou; get down here immediately."

At this moment, Qiu Ruyu said with annoyance, immediately reprimanding these Hehuan Sect Disciples.

It was simply lawless.

To snatch her man right in front of her face was practically cuckolding her to her own face.

It was simply unreasonable.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Hearing this, the many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators stuck out their tongues, helpless, and retreated one after another.

The prestige of the Sect Master was still very great.

They could not defy it.

That night.

The entire Hehuan Sect held a massive celebration banquet, and many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators used every trick in the book, attempting to please Zhou Sui, even stopping at nothing to try to consummate the act.

But they were all fended off by Zhou Sui with ease.

After all, a moment of pleasure didn't matter.

The problem was that it would forge karma, and the subsequent events would be incredibly troublesome.

He was very cautious in choosing a Dao Companion now.

If their aptitude was insufficient, it was impossible to consider the other party as a candidate for a Dao Companion.

Because Dao Companions were meant to support each other; they couldn't drag each other down.

That was not a good thing for anyone.

The many Hehuan Sect female Cultivators were all extremely disappointed, but they were helpless.

They could only say that their charm was insufficient to catch the eye of Senior Zhou.

…………

Late at night, after three rounds of drinks.

Qiu Ruyu found an excuse to bring Zhou Sui to her Cave Abode.

"You are worthy of being Daoist Zhou. Even if Daoist Zhou said you were an immortal reincarnated, I would not doubt it."

At this very moment, Qiu Ruyu looked at Zhou Sui with emotion in her beautiful eyes.

She had known this man before her for about one or two hundred years.

But even at this time, she still felt she could not see through this man; he was simply unfathomable.

"Is it so important whether I am an immortal reincarnated?"

Zhou Sui stood with his hands behind his back.

"Indeed, it is not that important."

Hearing this, Qiu Ruyu smiled. Whether he was an immortal reincarnated or it was the man's own natural talent, it was enough to prove his extraordinary brilliance; he was absolutely the strongest Transformation God in the Immortal Cultivation World in a million years.

If this man hadn't stepped in to help, the Hehuan Sect would surely have been finished.

Just like those Transformation God sects from the Ancient Era, disappearing into the long river of history.

"But Daoist Zhou's thoughts are very important to me."

"I wonder if Daoist Zhou is willing to join in marriage with me?"

Qiu Ruyu looked at Zhou Sui with bold and passionate eyes. She could no longer care about being reserved; it had reached this point, what was there to be reserved about? She couldn't just watch other women snatch this man away.

No matter what, she had to have this man.

"Daoist Qiu possesses a beauty that puts the moon to shame and makes flowers blush, a beauty that sinks fish and drops geese, a natural grace."

"No man would refuse a woman like Daoist Qiu."

"It is just that I have many Dao Companions by my side; I wonder if Daoist Qiu minds?"

Zhou Sui said straightforwardly, very openly; if he was going to be a scoundrel, he would be a scoundrel clearly.

This was his principle for conducting himself.

Do not initiate, do not refuse, but take responsibility.

Pfft, dog of a man.

Not a single word is true.

Before, he even said he had no Dao Companion in the Eastern Wasteland Continent; it turns out he was hiding a beauty elsewhere.

Qiu Ruyu gritted her teeth, wishing she could take a fierce bite out of this man.

But she was no fool.

He was already a Transformation God, having lived for who knows how many years.

Being such a man who attracts bees and butterflies himself, how could he possibly have no Dao Companion?

Even if he had no fixed Dao Companion, the various beauties he had provoked were naturally numerous; they certainly were not few.

Although she was feeling a bit sullen, things had reached this point, and it was impossible for her to refuse.

"Zhou-lang."

Qiu Ruyu looked at Zhou Sui with eyes like silk; merely speaking these two words contained infinite charm, enough to make any man's blood boil and leave him unable to resist.

"This!"

This naturally included Zhou Sui, who could not possibly block it; it was even more powerful than the most formidable charm technique in the world.

For a time, the rivers overturned and the seas surged, the swimming dragon entered the pool, and the Dao sounds lingered for three days, never ceasing for a long time.

……

On the other hand, the Underground Demon Cave.

Numerous Transformation God demons gathered, dense and numerous, almost reaching the number of three thousand.

They also knew that over a hundred Transformation God demons had besieged the Hehuan Sect, only to fail.

Many demons were all slaughtered, leaving no corpse intact.

This was also an unprecedented, disastrous defeat for the Demon Clan.

At the head were three Transformation God Completion demons: the Dark Demon Flood Dragon, the Mountain Ridge Giant Demon, and the Bewitching Demon Spider.

Every demon contained Demon Qi that was terrifying to the extreme.

"Damn that Xuanhuang Ancestor."

"He actually ruined our clan's good deeds; this person deserves to die ten thousand times."

The Dark Demon Flood Dragon was furious; its flood dragon body was a thousand zhang long, covered in countless black scales, with many Dark Runes emerging on them, permeating with terrifying black Demon Qi.

It seemed that at any moment, the Demon Qi on its body would cause the area within a radius of ten thousand li to turn into a Dark Demon Domain.

In fact, this was the case.

The Demon Qi released from its body could rapidly cause other living beings to fall, thereby becoming demonized, completely losing their reason, and turning into demon bodies.

It did not even need to take action itself; wherever it went, countless living beings would be transformed into demons.

It was also known as the Demon Disaster of the Demon Clan.

This operation to attack the Hehuan Sect was also proposed by it personally.

It had originally intended to dispatch a hundred Transformation God demons, which would have made destroying the Hehuan Sect as easy as turning over one's hand.

It had not expected that Xuanhuang Ancestor would personally intervene and destroy the massive demon army.

Even the hundred-plus Transformation God demons could not return, meeting their deaths and having their Dao extinguished.

This also caused the Demon Clan to suffer heavy losses.

"It is said that this person might be an Immortal reincarnated."

"The fusion of the three worlds this time was this person's doing."

"Without a doubt, this Xuanhuang Ancestor is the only obstacle preventing our Demon Clan from unifying the world."

"If we can kill this scoundrel, then our Demon Clan will have no more opponents."

The Bewitching Demon Spider spoke, its voice buzzing and containing strange Magic Sound; as long as one heard it, it seemed one would fall into hallucinations, becoming bewitched without realizing it, thereby becoming its slave and subject to its command.

Its body was also incomparably massive, at least several hundred zhang in size, with its back covered in countless colorful Runes and growing over a thousand black spider legs.

If ordinary people saw its figure, they would be instantly bewitched, lose their will, and be unable to resist.

"Immortal reincarnated? That's too ridiculous."

"That Immortal from a million years ago died long ago; it is impossible for them to have survived until now."

"The laws of the lower realm cannot allow an Immortal to descend; being able to persist for so long is already an anomaly."

"I reckon this Xuanhuang Ancestor is just a lucky person who obtained an Immortal's legacy."

The Mountain Ridge Giant Demon said in a muffled voice.

Its entire body was at least several thousand zhang, constructed entirely of black rock, with countless Dark Runes engraved on the rock surface, causing its body to be filled with terrifying Demon Qi; its massive mountain-like body was a seamless whole.

It could be said that it was the Transformation God demon with the strongest defense in the Demon Clan, known as the Undying Demon Mountain.

Even if it encountered dozens or hundreds of Transformation God Cultivators besieging it, they could not harm its physique.

In fact, if it hadn't encountered the fusion of the three worlds, it would have already ascended to the Spirit World.

But due to the fusion of the three worlds, the Xuanhuang World was formed, thereby causing the path of ascension to disappear completely.

After all, the level cap of this world had increased, and it could fully accommodate Transformation God, Refining Void, and even Integration Stage cultivators.

Therefore, it was impossible for it to ascend to the Spirit World for the time being, and it could only obediently stay in the Xuanhuang World to cultivate.

This was also a matter faced by all cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang World.

If one wanted to ascend, one could only ascend to the Immortal World.

"Whether he is a lucky person or an Immortal reincarnated, the threat of Xuanhuang Ancestor cannot be underestimated."

"Rumor has it that this guy even possesses the power to use the Evergreen Immortal Vine."

"Wanting to kill this person, I fear it is not as simple as one might imagine."

The Darkness Demon Flood Dragon said gloomily.

Even though they knew that Xuanhuang Ancestor was the greatest threat to the Demon Clan, killing such an existence was truly too difficult.

The power the other party grasped was unfathomable, and they did not have much chance of victory.

"Why don't we go and raid the humans of other continents first."

"Slaughter all those humans, wipe out the wings of the Human Race, and then go deal with Xuanhuang Continent."

"Once that happens, the strength of Xuanhuang Sect will be thoroughly weakened, and it will be completely vulnerable."

A Transformation God demon offered its suggestion.

It felt that when pinching a persimmon, one should pick the soft one.

If they could not kill Xuanhuang Ancestor for the time being, then wiping out other humans to weaken the power of the Human Race could be considered a decent strategy, and it would also allow them to vent their anger.

"Stupid to the extreme."

"What is the use of killing some ordinary humans."

"At most, it is just more food, letting us vent our anger; it is simply meaningless."

"For the Human Race, as long as there is peace for a thousand or a hundred years, even if only tens of millions of people remain, they can still quickly multiply and flourish, rapidly reaching hundreds of millions."

"As long as the Human Race is not extinct, they can multiply as many people as they want."

"Slaughtering low-level humans has no meaning at all."

The Darkness Demon Flood Dragon snorted coldly.

"Well said."

"What determines the hegemony of this world is, in the end, still us Transformation Gods."

"As long as the humans have no Transformation God Cultivator, then the Human Race can only be slaves to our Demon Race, with no way to resist."

"Of course, if the Human Race kills all our Transformation Gods of the Demon Clan, then our Demon Clan will also become slaves."

"The outcome of this war must, in the end, be decided between us Transformation Gods."

The Bewitching Demon Spider also agreed with this point.

For high-level demons, there was simply no need to slaughter any low-level humans.

In fact, they even needed to leave behind a large number of low-level humans.

Because these low-level humans were high-quality food sources that needed to be kept as rations for the demons.

How could they be slaughtered at will?!

"In other words, are we going to attack Xuanhuang Sect directly?"

"The problem is that the strength of Xuanhuang Sect is unfathomable."

"It is said that it is also assisted by the Evergreen Immortal Vine; we may not necessarily be that human's match."

Many Transformation God demons had grave expressions.

Do not look at the fact that they have nearly three thousand Transformation God demons; compared to that Xuanhuang Ancestor, there was still a not-insignificant gap.

Especially since the other party also grasped the Evergreen Immortal Vine.

No one knew what level of power this plant actually contained.

If one were even slightly careless, one could capsize in the gutter.

"Don't worry, that Xuanhuang Ancestor is indeed powerful."

"But our Demon Clan is not to be trifled with either."

"That Xuanhuang Ancestor obtained the legacy of an immortal; could it be that our Demon Clan has not?"

"You must know that the immortals who descended from the Immortal World in the past were not just one, but three."

"One of the Ancient Demons descended into our Ancient Demon World."

"This great demon is the source of our Demon Clan."

The Mountain Ridge Giant Demon said indifferently.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, the pupils of many Transformation God demons contracted; they also thought of this point.

In fact, they had long since obtained the legacy of the Ancient Demon.

Otherwise, they would not have known that the remains of immortals were left behind in the Immortal Cultivation World, nor would they have launched a large-scale invasion.

"I wonder what legacy our Demon Clan obtained?"

Many Transformation God demons asked curiously.

Because the legacy from the Ancient Demon was one of the highest secrets of the Demon Clan.

Except for a few high-level members who knew, the remaining Transformation God demons had no way of knowing.

So they were naturally incomparably curious about exactly what legacy the Demon Clan had inherited from the Ancient Demon.

"It is no harm to tell you; this is not some big secret."

"The so-called Ancient Demon legacy is actually an Immortal Artifact."

The Darkness Demon Flood Dragon spoke up.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, the pupils of the numerous Transformation God demons contracted; they felt very shocked inside, it was simply unbelievable.

They did not expect that the greatest secret of the Demon Clan was actually possessing an Immortal Artifact.

It was truly inconceivable.

If it were not for such a critical juncture, the high-level members of the Demon Clan would not have leaked this news.

"An Immortal Artifact? What kind of Immortal Artifact is it?"

A Transformation God Demon asked, unable to hold back.

"This Immortal Artifact is called the Emperor Demon Hammer."

"It is an Immortal Artifact left behind by that ancient demon of the past."

"Its power is boundless."

"Once unleashed, it can shatter the Void."

"Let alone a Transformation God Cultivator, even a cultivator in the Refining Void Realm might not necessarily be able to withstand it."

Darkness Demon Flood Dragon said in a deep voice, sweeping its gaze across the many demons.

Clearly, this was the Demon Clan's true trump card, containing infinite power.

"The question is, can we really use an Immortal Artifact?"

"It is just like a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure; if one has not reached the Transformation God stage, it is extremely difficult to use."

"And the grade of an Immortal Artifact is even higher."

"With our cultivation, it is likely impossible to activate an Immortal Artifact, right?"

A Transformation God Demon inquired.

It had always felt that activating an Immortal Artifact was not such an easy task.

If it were truly that easy, it would have been used countless times before, and would not have been brought out only now.

"That is correct; normally, it is almost impossible for us to activate an Immortal Artifact."

"But because our birth originates from the power left behind by that ancient demon."

"So, to a certain extent, we are all descendants of that ancient demon."

"And it is precisely because of this that we can barely activate a sliver of this Immortal Artifact's power."

"Of course, even so, activating the power of an Immortal Artifact is not an easy task."

"It requires energy that is vast to the extreme to be possible."

"Simply put, we need thousands of Transformation God Demons to act simultaneously to provide energy for this Immortal Artifact."

Darkness Demon Flood Dragon looked at the many Transformation God Demons.

What?!

Hearing this, the pupils of the many Transformation God Demons contracted; they were not fools, and they instantly understood the meaning behind Darkness Demon Flood Dragon's words—the truth had finally come to light.

Clearly, activating this Immortal Artifact was not something one or two Transformation God Demons could do.

It required thousands of Transformation God Demons to work together and pay a huge price to be able to activate it.

If this were not the case, it is unlikely that the high-level members of the Demon Clan would have leaked this information.

"Is it merely providing energy?"

"I fear the price to be paid is more than just that, right?"

A Transformation God Demon was very suspicious of Darkness Demon Flood Dragon's words; it felt that the price required to activate the Immortal Artifact was likely not as simple as imagined.

"Rest assured, the greatest price is merely the loss of a certain amount of lifespan, or perhaps sustaining heavy injuries."

"Given the recovery ability of our Demon Clan, even if it takes a longer time, we will certainly be able to recover."

"Of course, if possible, I would not want to use this Immortal Artifact either."

"After all, this is the final weapon of our Demon Clan; we must succeed or perish."

"The problem is, this is already the last chance for our Demon Clan to defeat the Human Race."

"If this is not resolved this time, then our Demon Clan will surely be wiped out by the Human Race."

Darkness Demon Flood Dragon's tone was very serious.

It was comforting its companions, but at the same time, it was also intimidating them.

"Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?"

"No matter how you look at it, our Demon Clan currently has the upper hand; how could the Human Race possibly exterminate us?"

The many Transformation God Demons suspected that Darkness Demon Flood Dragon was intimidating them.

Because no matter how one looked at it, there was no possibility of the Demon Clan losing to the Human Race.

If it were only for this, they would not be willing to pay such a price.

"That is correct; normally, the Human Race cannot defeat our Demon Clan."

"Whether it is the number of high-level powerhouses or the number of living beings in the race."

"We possess an overwhelming advantage."

"The problem is, do not forget that the Human Race also has a plant from the Immortal World—the Evergreen Immortal Vine."

"This is the Human Race's true trump card."

"Right now, the Evergreen Immortal Vine is still in its recovery period, and the power it possesses has not recovered much."

"But as time passes, its power will surely become increasingly formidable."

"Yet this plant from the Immortal World is in the hands of the Human Race, which is not a good thing for our Demon Clan."

"I believe you have also felt the power of the Evergreen Immortal Vine."

"This is a great living being that has suppressed the entire world; no one can rival it."

"If the Evergreen Immortal Vine truly launches an attack, our Demon Clan will be wiped out in an instant."

"And the longer time passes, the more dangerous our Demon Clan becomes."

Darkness Demon Flood Dragon said gloomily.

It was precisely because it had perceived this point that it wanted to bring out the Demon Clan's Immortal Artifact, the Emperor Demon Hammer, to strike decisively while the enemy was still weak and nip the threat in the bud.

"The Immortal World plant, the Evergreen Immortal Vine?"

"It is indeed as Lord Demon Flood Dragon said; the greatest threat is still that Evergreen Immortal Vine."

"And the person who controls the Evergreen Immortal Vine is precisely Xuanhuang Ancestor."

"When all is said and done, we still have to finish off Xuanhuang Ancestor; as long as we finish off this guy, the threat of the Demon race will naturally be resolved."

"In that case, if we want to ensure the safety of the Demon race, we still need to strike first to gain the advantage."

Many Transformation God demons could not help but nod.

They also strongly agreed with Darkness, feeling that this matter was indeed imperative.

If they didn't finish off Xuanhuang Ancestor, they would simply be unable to eat or sleep in peace.

This incident with the Hehuan Sect further proved this point.

"Since that's the case, when shall we make our move?"

A Transformation God demon asked.

"Do not be impatient; we still need several years to break the seal on that Immortal Artifact."

"Let us wait for a period of time for now."

"Then we shall assemble a great army, march to the Xuanhuang Sect, and completely finish off Xuanhuang Ancestor."

"As long as Xuanhuang Ancestor is dead, then this realm will surely be the world of our Demon race."

Darkness said with murderous intent.

It seemed to see the scene of Xuanhuang Ancestor dying miserably under the Immortal Artifact, the Emperor Demon Hammer.

"Good."

Many Transformation God demons nodded; they were also incomparably expectant.

They simply couldn't wait to finish off Xuanhuang Ancestor at the first opportunity, dominate the world, and transform this world into a Demon realm.

Nor did they care about what was happening on the Demon race's side.

The next morning.

Hehuan Sect, Hehuan Peak, inside the Cave Abode.

"You have obtained your Dao Companion's Pure Yin Energy, and your cultivation has received a massive boost."

"The Infatuation Gu is incomparably joyful and has received a large amount of love; your Spirit Root aptitude has been improved."

"Your Spirit Root has advanced to the level of Heavenly Spirit Root."

"You have obtained a certain degree of Spirit Severing cultivation experience."

"Your physique has also been improved to a certain degree."

Suddenly, Zhou Sui slowly opened his eyes; he sensed a series of messages coming from the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Clearly, after uniting with his Dao Companion Qiu Ruyu, he had obtained massive benefits; his cultivation had improved geometrically, and vast Spirit Severing Dharma Power surged within his body, flowing through every meridian.

He immediately sensed that the Dharma Power within his body had made tremendous progress.

After obtaining Qiu Ruyu's vast Pure Yin Energy, it was equivalent to saving him one or two hundred years of bitter cultivation.

This also allowed his cultivation to advance to the perfection of the Spirit Severing Initial Stage.

He was only one step away from stepping into the realm of the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage.

"To think I still haven't been able to advance to the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage?"

"It seems that cultivation in the Spirit Severing realm is indeed incomparably difficult."

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes.

To tell the truth, he had originally thought that obtaining the vast Pure Yin Energy from Qiu Ruyu would be enough to fully raise his cultivation to the realm of the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage.

But he had still underestimated the difficulty of cultivation in the Spirit Severing realm.

This vast energy had merely raised his cultivation to the perfection of the Spirit Severing Initial Stage.

Of course, even so, such benefits were quite significant, helping him save a large amount of time on bitter cultivation.

If this were any other Cultivator in the Spirit Severing realm, they would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Moreover, he was actually only one step away from the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage.

As long as he practiced bitterly for a period of time, he would definitely be able to break through this bottleneck.

It was merely a matter of time.

However, the greatest benefit to him from this cultivation session was naturally the improvement of his Spirit Root.

Originally, his Spirit Root aptitude had been stuck at the perfection of the First Grade Spiritual Root, unable to advance to the Heavenly Spirit Root level for a long time.

This was a huge bottleneck.

But now, after obtaining Qiu Ruyu's help, it was as if he had been given the final push, helping him logically break through the bottleneck and finally advance to the level of Heavenly Spirit Root.

"Is this a Heavenly Spirit Root?"

Zhou Sui widened his eyes in amazement; he discovered that his perception of the world had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change.

It was as if his body and Soul had merged into nature itself.

Between heaven and earth, countless Spirit Qi seemed to be cheering and leaping for joy.

There was no need for him to circulate his cultivation technique at all; this Spirit Qi was like moths to a flame, merging into his body.

It felt as if his cultivation would grow automatically even if he didn't move a muscle.

"Too monstrous; is this how a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator cultivates?"

Zhou Sui was speechless.

He still remembered back when he was a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, he would work his life away circulating his cultivation technique, yet only wisps of Spirit Qi would flow into his body and then be converted into Dharma Power.

There were even times when a large amount of Spirit Qi would flow into his body only to dissipate rapidly, unable to form Dharma Power at all.

Therefore, cultivation in the past had been incomparably difficult.

Even if he sat in meditation for several hours, the Dharma Power in his body wouldn't increase by even a fraction.

But now, even without meditating or bitter cultivation, a massive amount of Spirit Qi from heaven and earth pours into the body, increasing Dharma Power.

The difference in treatment between the two is simply too great.

If he had possessed Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude from the very beginning, his cultivation speed would likely have been even faster.

"No wonder every sect basically wants to recruit Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators."

"Even Transformation Spirit sects are no exception."

"These are simply seeds for becoming an immortal."

Zhou Sui was filled with emotion.

He circulated his cultivation technique slightly and immediately understood the special aspects of the Heavenly Spirit Root like the back of his hand.

First is the efficiency of absorbing Spirit Qi, which has increased by more than several times compared to a First Grade Spiritual Root.

He discovered that as long as he circulated his cultivation technique, the vast Spirit Qi between heaven and earth would surge over, instantly submerging into his body and rapidly transforming into Dharma Power within.

With such fast efficiency in absorbing Spirit Qi, it is no wonder that Cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots progress with such speed.

There is simply no need to take any Pills.

Daily meditation and cultivation alone are several times faster than the cultivation speed of those Cultivators with Superior Spiritual Roots.

Moreover, with such fast cultivation efficiency, there is no pill poison in the body.

In this way, when advancing to Foundation Establishment, there is naturally no need for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Secondly, the power of his divine sense has also received a huge boost compared to before.

Clearly, the aptitude of a Heavenly Spirit Root can also strengthen a Cultivator's Soul, causing the power of their divine sense to be further enhanced.

That is why when Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators mobilize Spirit Qi from heaven and earth, they do so with such ease and familiarity, as if moving their own fingers and arms.

Finally, his comprehension has also seen astonishing growth.

Zhou Sui also discovered that his comprehension has increased several times over compared to before.

Comprehending various cultivation techniques and divine abilities has all become simple.

Difficult problems he could not figure out before are now being solved easily, with flashes of inspiration appearing.

In an instant, he has evolved from the level of a poor student to that of a top student.

One must know, why is it called a Heavenly Spirit Root? It is precisely because such a Spirit Root is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and has received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, as if constantly in a state of unity between heaven and man.

Therefore, Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators almost all have extraordinary comprehension.

They grasp cultivation techniques much faster than ordinary Cultivators.

It is simply not something that low-level Cultivators can compare to.

"Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators are indeed all seedlings for becoming immortals."

"High affinity for Spirit Qi, powerful divine sense, and extraordinary comprehension."

"These are simply top-tier geniuses."

"People with this kind of aptitude are top-tier geniuses no matter where they are placed."

"If one has a Heavenly Spirit Root, plus a special constitution, that would be simply invincible."

Zhou Sui was filled with emotion.

To be honest, even in the Spirit World, the Heavenly Spirit Root is still the most top-tier aptitude for Human Race Cultivators, and Cultivators who can obtain a Heavenly Spirit Root are few and far between.

Although one cannot say they are countable on one's fingers, they are still the minority of the minority.

It is just that because the Spirit World has dense Spirit Qi and abundant resources, even Cultivators with Lower Grade Spirit Roots can successfully achieve Foundation Establishment and even condense a Golden Core, which is why there are so many powerful Cultivators.

Whereas in the original Immortal Cultivation World, one had to at least have Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude to have a chance to reach the Transformation Spirit stage and ascend to the Spirit World.

Therefore, every Human Race Cultivator who can ascend to the Spirit World is an absolute genius when placed in the Spirit World.

They will inevitably be scrambled for by the many forces of the Human Race.

And now, he is finally a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator, which can be considered the most top-tier aptitude in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Basically, not many people can compare to him.

"Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, plus the assistance of a Dao Companion."

"My cultivation efficiency can at least increase by several times."

"I estimate that it won't take long before I can break through to the Transformation Spirit Mid-Stage."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin, feeling very refreshed.

After all, his Spirit Root aptitude is now considered top-tier, and it is no longer a shortcoming dragging down his cultivation speed.

This is simply like adding wings to a tiger.
