Starting with a Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

On the day of his spiritual root test, he was found to possess a fifth-grade root. In this lifetime, it would be nearly impossible to break through the Mid Qi Refining stage.

The immortal sec...

Chapter 359 Seventh Elder Wang Yu! (Second Update!)

Chapter 359 Seventh Elder Wang Yu! (Second Update!)

Based on the simple idea of ​​giving face to others.

Furthermore, Wang Yu only needed this title as a bargaining chip to enhance his own status, so he chose the last of the four seats of the Zuoqiu Clan.

A peak Core Formation cultivator named Zuoqiu Bo.

Those around 600 years old still have a chance to compete with the Nascent Soul stage, but without the aid of a breakthrough spiritual object, the success rate is extremely low.

Often, among thousands of peak Core Formation cultivators qualified to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the emergence of even a few Nascent Soul cultivators is considered a stroke of good fortune.

The vast majority of beings cannot break through to a higher realm on their own.

in.

Luck is also an indispensable factor.

Most of the newly born Nascent Soul cultivators in the Nine Peaks come from the Elder Council, especially the top three elders, who are not only strong but also control a lot of resources.

Every so often, it adds to the sect's foundation, making it a true "cradle" of ancestors.

Wang Yu was aiming for the position of the Seventh Elder.

He first went to discuss it with them, then summoned the other eleven elders to witness it. That would be considered a done deal. As for the Lord of Cold Blood Mountain, he couldn't interfere even if he wanted to.

After all, this was a share that Zuoqiu voluntarily relinquished.

There was simply no grounds to stop it.

The two arrived at the entrance of Zuoqiu Bo's cave and touched the protective wind chimes at the door. He quickly emerged from it, his eyes showing a hint of doubt.

"Huang Jiu...you are Wang Yu?"

"Greetings, Seventh Elder."

After exchanging greetings, Wang Yu instructed Huang Jiu to take charge of the negotiations.

Neither he nor his sister could be considered relatives of the Zuoqiu clan, and in principle, they should not have been able to interfere in this matter.

Unfortunately, Zuo Qiuming's mother was also a woman of considerable means.

He himself was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and his grandfather, the Huang Clan Ancestor, was also an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

A woman's status in her husband's family is not only related to her own strength, but also to the strength of her maternal clan, which is the allure of arranged marriages.

Huang Jiu stepped forward, showed the token given to him by his younger sister, and said succinctly.

"Brother Bo, could you give your seat to Wang Yu?"

"this……"

Zuo Qiubo frowned. Deep down, he was unwilling. How comfortable was this position? He had people to serve him, he had great power, and he could easily grab a lot of resources.

Even if he doesn't need it himself, it's a good thing to pave the way for his descendants and accumulate some wealth. He really doesn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary.

But he found it hard to refuse the token from the matriarch of the Zuoqiu clan.

He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"Has the head of the family been notified?"

"nature."

The idea of ​​acting first and informing later was suggested by Zuo Qiuming. He is probably trying to find a way to back down now. In any case, getting the seat first is the right thing to do.

It's half deception and half coercion.

After pondering for a long time, Zuoqiu Bo's expression turned grim.

"I understand, but we still need to go through the normal procedures. If this young friend Wang Yu is not strong enough, then don't blame me for knocking you down."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu nodded in agreement.

This attitude was a good way to vent his anger, and he also wanted to see just how powerful this group of people, who theoretically possessed top-tier Core Formation combat power, really were.

Zuo Qiubo simply wanted to use the guise of procedural justice to obstruct him because he was young.

I'm just... overthinking it.

Not long after.

Eleven members of the Elder Council arrived from all directions. They were all at the peak of the Core Formation stage and lived on Cold Blood Peak year-round, coordinating resources sent from various places and various affairs within the sect.

Few of them would travel far, especially the top-ranked individuals, who have a great desire for the Nascent Soul stage.

The eldest elder, the third, the fifth, and the tenth are members of the Zhuo clan.

The second, fourth, sixth, and seventh are elders of the Zuoqiu clan.

Eight, twelve, were born into the Ji family, the same family as the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord.

9. The 11th, the people of the Lord of Cold Blood Mountain.

Just by looking at this ranking, you can see just how much power the Zhuo and Zuoqiu clans wield. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. No wonder the Lord of Cold Blood Mountain and the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord dare not compete with them.

They can only compete with each other to grab a share of the profits.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the battle for the Elders' Council seats!"

The elder glanced at Wang Yu.

The candidate status of this person was originally decided by Zhuo Shouqing at his request, but now he has sided with the Zuoqiu family, even though the two families are very close.

But ultimately they are different, and it's inevitable that she would have some opinions about Wang Yu.

certainly.

Thinking about the outcome of the battle between the two Zhuo brothers, he fell silent. He had originally planned to strip Wang Yu of his status as a candidate for the Elders Council as a pledge of allegiance to Zhuo Shouyun.

I never expected this to happen; it's best not to get involved.

"Right here?"

"Of course, Cold Blood Peak is protected by the formation and will not collapse so easily, so you can rest assured, young friend Wang."

Zuo Qiubo responded, his figure already soaring into the sky.

Wang Yu transformed into the aurora and chased after it.

He immediately unleashed several Soul-Destroying Finger techniques. Although it was not a supernatural power, it was still quite formidable, as it was a secret technique of the Heavenly Soul Sect.

Especially after Wang Yu reached the perfect realm, he was thoroughly familiar with the changes. With the blessing of his early fourth-order divine sense, each Soul-Destroying Finger was nearly a hundred meters long.

A fierce, soul-destroying aura surged forth.

Zuo Qiubo's expression was solemn. A lotus-shaped divine sense artifact flew out from between his eyebrows and hung upside down above his head. The light emanating from the artifact blocked all the Soul-Destroying Finger strikes.

"A solid foundation and a powerful tool."

The scarcity of such spiritual treasures is unparalleled in the cultivation world!

Very few people possess such treasures.

This shows how many treasures the other party acquired during his time as the Seventh Elder.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Young friend Wang Yu, please test the power of my divine abilities."

A phantom eye pattern suddenly materialized behind Zuo Qiubo, bringing with it a chilling and sinister feeling, as if countless invisible ghostly hands were surrounding him.

They attempted to pull Wang Yu into an endless illusion.

"Illusory Yin Ice Technique?"

He subconsciously recalled that when he chose his cultivation method back then, he had briefly looked at the introduction of a superior third-tier cultivation method that possessed extremely powerful illusionary divine abilities.

"Unfortunately... illusions are no match for me, Wang."

The lake of my heart is stirred.

When the Asura's killing intent in the Void Realm was unleashed, this unwavering mental fortitude was enough to protect him from the interference of illusions.

His supernatural powers were broken before Zuo Qiubo could even react.

Wang Yu, moving with incredible speed, had already closed the gap. With a beautiful young woman waiting at home to learn alchemy, he needed to finish this quickly.

—Little Asura Killing Fist!

The killing intent materialized, evolving into a boundless sea of ​​blood, and the half-body Asura form delivered a powerful punch.

In an instant.

The lotus flower protecting his mind dimmed, and Zuo Qiubo gritted his teeth and offered up his natal magic weapon, a magic weapon that resembled a clean bottle.

It grows rapidly upon appearance.

The suction force emanating from the bottle mouth frantically drew in the power of the killing intent and blood sea. As the killing fist approached, a blood-red beam of light suddenly erupted from the bottle mouth.

Use someone's strength against them!

To wear down one's soul with another's.

He certainly has some skills, but after being tempered by the Blood Killing Stone Tablet, Wang Yu's technique in using killing intent is far superior to that of the novice he once was.

A thought crossed my mind.

With the control of the Perfect Realm, the Killing Fist was multiplied into a hundred. Although the power was divided, the effect was not diminished in the slightest.

The crimson beam of light only partially erased the fist imprint.

The remaining dozens of punches landed on Zuo Qiubo.

Lacking mental and spiritual support.

Zuo Qiubo, who was hit by the Lesser Asura Killing Fist, immediately froze on the spot, his whole body covered in bruises and swelling.

This is an opportunity not to be missed.

With Wang Yu's talent and keenness in combat, he would not let go of such a good opportunity. The Glazed Ice Heart Pagoda emerged from his Qi Sea, and the Cold Moon Pearl at the top of the pagoda shone brightly.

Considering it wasn't a life-or-death battle, he didn't use the Twelve Phases of the Moon Palace. Instead, he used his natal magic weapon to enhance the Ice Soul Divine Light and shot it out, only to be swept away by the indigo beam.

Zuoqiu Bo's aura rapidly weakened, and he transformed into a large ice block, falling towards the ground, his body and soul showing faint signs of annihilation.

The domineering power of the Ice Soul Divine Light was unmistakable.

Wang Yu glanced at the crowd still watching out of the corner of his eye, then his figure flashed and he suddenly appeared behind Zuo Qiubo.

The dragon's roar soared into the sky.

With a powerful and heavy punch, his right hand transformed into a seemingly tangible dark dragon head... Demon Dragon Fist!

With this punch, Zuo Qiubo would surely die.

Just then.

The Grand Elder suddenly appeared, his face grim, and slapped his palm horizontally, forcibly turning Wang Yu's right hand at a slight angle.

An air explosion!

The shockwave formed a ring-shaped impact and spread rapidly, making the air viscous. A white column of air suddenly slammed into the Frostblood Peak below.

It made a loud, booming sound.

"Enough!"

The elder calmly put his hands behind his back, his fingers and palms, hidden in his sleeves, trembled slightly, and blood flowed from the edges of his nails, clearly injured by the recoil.

In contrast, Wang Yu smiled as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't expect Elder Bo to be so weak, he just finished warming up. Is the Grand Elder interested in sparring with me?"

"snort--

"Wang Yu has won this battle! He will now succeed the Seventh Elder!"

The Grand Elder did not respond, but instead held Zuoqiu Bo in his hand and announced the result to everyone.

The other elders all offered their congratulations.

I really didn't expect Wang Yu to have such strength after returning from the Blood Abyss. I heard that he broke through to the Core Formation stage less than forty years ago, yet he was able to defeat the peak Core Formation stage member of the Elders' Council.

Compared to actual ability, this potential is even more significant.

Definitely the appearance of a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The remaining three members of the Zuoqiu clan, the two members of the Ji family, and the two elders of the Cold Blood Mountain Lord all gave Wang Yu friendly smiles, except for the few members of the Zhuo clan.

The Grand Elder didn't take the lead and didn't even make a move.

The summit of Cold Blood Peak.

The Lord of Cold Blood Mountain, who was secretly observing, keenly discovered Wang Yu's strength and was greatly shocked.

"Late-stage Core Formation cultivation, early-stage fourth-order divine sense, and body refinement level that's hard to judge... It's at least late-stage third-order, truly astonishing!"

Although the path Wang Yu ultimately chose was not what he wanted to see, it revealed his strength.

His opinion of Wang Yu also changed.

"As long as this child doesn't die, achieving the Nascent Soul stage is almost a certainty. It seems we need to find a way to repair the relationship regarding the Blood Pool Baptism."

And Yanling...

He had previously thought that Wang Yu was not interested in beautiful women, but after discovering Tantai Chan, this view wavered. It wasn't that he wasn't interested in feelings, but rather that he disliked trouble.

If it could lead to the two becoming Daoist partners.

After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, he naturally became a member of the Cold Blood Master-Disciple Sect, which helped him suppress the Heavenly Frost Demon Lord.

"This matter requires further consideration."

at the same time.

The Grand Elder melted the ice off Zuo Qiubo's body, personally retrieved the Seventh Elder's identity ring, and replaced Wang Yu's ice crown.

This is not only a symbol of status, but also allows control over the formations of Cold Blood Peak. This time, the control is even greater, reaching one-twelfth of the formation.

If the members of the Elder Council join forces, they can fully activate the fourth-order magic array of Cold Blood Peak, which is enough to resolve the dangers of those below the late Nascent Soul stage.

This is equivalent to having an extra layer of protection within the sect.

Zuoqiu Bo, who lost his position as the seventh elder, was somewhat dejected. After bidding farewell to everyone, he left the sect, presumably to go back to Xianyin to talk to his family.

Wang Yu achieved his long-cherished goal.

Once I felt completely at ease, the whole process took no more than an hour, which was incredibly fast.

in addition.

About half a month later, there will be a meeting regarding the Blood Pool Baptism. Wang Yu is both a participant and a decision-maker, a rather peculiar feeling.

It's like a competition.

He's both an athlete and a referee, and he even has a say in who gets the gold medal—it feels amazing.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, he took his leave.

Wang Yu personally escorted Huang Jiu away from the clan.

The other party was also somewhat taken aback, constantly scrutinizing Wang Yu as if he were a monster.

"Brother Wang, you truly live up to your reputation. It was really foolish of Zhuo Shouqing not to trust you."

Wang Yu smiled dismissively.

"Perhaps this is fate. A great situation has been ruined like this. Zhuo Shouyun's plan is also a major factor. We can't blame Zhuo Shouqing entirely."

"well……"

That's what they say, but it's all just polite talk.

then.

He collapsed at the last step of his nascent soul, and was subjected to a lot of scorn and slander. He had a certain familiarity with and feelings about the word "fate".

"That's true. Goodbye, Brother Wang."

"I will visit Xianyin when I have time, and we will surely meet again someday."

Hahaha~

After sending Huang Jiu away, Wang Yu had basically finished his business after leaving the Blood Abyss. Now he just had to wait for the Blood Pool baptism to see how much his strength would be improved.

besides.

He also needs to incorporate more types of alchemy techniques, and he has five celestial demons that he fished out using the Mirror of the Azure Sky sealed in his hands. After making perfect use of them...

He is more confident in defeating Fu Xiao.

Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, this matter must be resolved. Spiritual aptitude is also a significant aid, especially in enhancing cultivation efficiency.

Improving his own basic conditions is something he needs to strive for throughout his life.

This is the only way to maximize the effectiveness of the placement bar.

A moment later.

Wang Yu's Cave.

After successfully returning home, he saw Yu Tangtang straddling the five-tailed snow fox as soon as he entered, laughing and tugging at the little fox's ears.

His mischievous nature is on full display.

Xueyu blinked her pitiful big eyes, casting a pleading look at her master, but Wang Yu decisively ignored her.

Even a dignified third-tier demon beast can't be killed by playing around with it.

Yu Tangtang knew her limits and didn't hurt her much.

On the side.

Tantai Chan sat in a chair, holding a cup of tea, watching the two little ones play and frolic, creating a particularly heartwarming scene.

It wasn't until they saw Wang Yu that their eyes lit up.

"You're back."

"Yes, the matter is settled."

Wang Yu waved to Yu Tangtang, who immediately pounced on him. The heavy little bean was as light as a feather in his hands. After playing around for a while, they got down to business.

“Father said that now that you’re back, you should get down to business. Here’s a list of pills; the required quantities and medicinal herbs are all prepared.”

Wang Yu looked helpless. At this stage, he didn't need much third-tier resources. If he wanted to make a significant difference, he had to get the higher-level fourth-tier rare resources.

Even the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon doesn't have many treasures of this caliber.

"How about this..."

Second update, one more chapter tonight.
