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 702 The Four Cycles Change: Heading to the Vast Immortal Palace to Embrace the World

The birthplace of the Star God Dao lineage was the vast Immortal Realm of the Primordial Era, but each Immortal Realm can be regarded as an independent world community.

Just like the Zerg world cluster that was invaded before.

It is a vast world, along with several medium-sized worlds and a dozen small worlds, that together support the alien insect god race's world.

Immortal Realm is an expanded version of this model.

Only those beings at the True Immortal level within the Cosmic Sea can be called Immortal Realms; otherwise, they are usually referred to as Star Domains or Realms, which cannot be overstepped.

Each domain contains a large number of worlds.

Most of them are ruled by a single race, which is the current pattern of the universe. Star Gods are born from the innate way and are nurtured by the stars.

It once flourished.

The vastness of the primordial era was merely the origin. The ancient corpse of the Taiyin Star God that Wang Yu desired was naturally not limited to just the Moon Lord. Where the Demon Lord obtained it from was not important.

The crucial question is whether this ancient corpse's essence can truly help him transform into a primordial being! This is of utmost importance!!

According to legend.

In the beginning of chaos, the ancestral god [Gu] created heaven and earth, evolved the universe and sea, and gave birth to all the heavens and myriad worlds. From this, many beings were born and obtained the destiny of being "first".

For example: the first wisp of cloud in the world, the first rock in the world, the first dragon, the first phoenix, the first bamboo... and so on.

This is the "Creation Era" before the Primordial Era!

Ninety percent of the innate beings are transformed from certain things that occupy the "first" position, and they are guaranteed to have the cultivation level of a true immortal. However, as the number of acquired beings increases, the rules of heaven and earth are constantly improved.

Such existences were gradually no longer permitted, and the Heavenly Dao of the Cosmic Sea began to clean them up. As for whether there were any contradictions in its operations, that's another story. Without knowing the full picture, we cannot comment.

In conclusion.

The primordial beings suffered a calamity; some died, some fled, and they gradually disappeared into the cosmic sea. Then, in the ancient era, a second batch of primordial beings was born.

Star Gods are one such type, but they no longer possess the terrifying power and eternal life of being born immortals. Instead, they need to cultivate and comprehend in order to achieve the Great Dao and attain longevity.

It seems as if the universe is constantly making minor adjustments and experimenting.

Aside from the Star Gods, this era also saw the birth of many innate gods and demons. Although their strength was not as great as the innate beings of the [Creation Era], their potential was formidable, and they were likely to be bullied in the future.

Therefore, the ancient period is also known as the "Chronicle of Gods and Demons"!

Yes.

When the next opportunity arrived, all innate beings were optimized by heaven and earth, and the human race rose, as did all other races. All living beings ushered in the "Era of Ten Thousand Spirits," during which various cultivation paths emerged one after another.

Through the survival of the fittest and the changing of the years.

The Immortal Path system is unique and sets a trend! It has also arrived in this era and is called the [Immortal Path Era]!

This is the history of this world, passed down through the ages.

The Star God also played a very important role in this. Although the decline of the Star God was influenced by the Heavenly Dao, the innate beings were indeed favored by Heaven and Earth.

That innate talent for finding the right path is its greatest strength.

Wang Yu forcibly cultivated the Star God's inheritance in human form, resulting in a change in his primordial spirit, making it difficult for him to fully reproduce his ancient appearance. Now, he has received assistance from the Demon Lord's avatar.

Once the path to enlightenment is successfully seized, the physical body will be perfectly transformed using the power of the Heavenly Demon's Myriad Transformations, thus replicating the terrifying aptitude of innate beings. Other aspects, however, cannot be guaranteed.

The comprehension of the Great Dao of Taiyin will allow one to ascend like a rocket, potentially becoming a Starry Sky Dao Lord comparable to a True Immortal.

It is the true foundation for becoming an immortal.

Furthermore, the unique aspect of the Heavenly Demon's Path is that it integrates and enhances the bloodline characteristics belonging to the Star God into his human form, which can be perfectly realized without the need for transformation.

For him personally, it was also a major transformation.

With the added attributes of the two top-grade true spirit bloodlines, Ice Phoenix and Blood Flying Fly, and the unparalleled immortal talent of the incomplete Ancestral Dragon bloodline, his cultivation speed will increase even further.

With such extraordinary talent, bottlenecks are nothing to him.

As long as you practice, you can continuously improve, which is one of the greatest benefits!

In terms of understanding the laws, one should actually take a backseat.

At that time.

Under the watchful gaze of the Demon Lord's avatar, Wang Yu's true form suddenly exploded into countless blood threads, which surged into the massive, mountain-like corpse of the Taiyin Star God.

Starting with the remaining essence and blood in the spine, slowly devour the information in the opponent's bloodline, then devour and seize it all, turning the Way of the Star God into one's own.

As time passed, another five years went by.

Wang Yu has been in the Great Demon Heaven for over ten years. He has revised the personal cultivation calendar of the Demon Realm that he himself remembered. A new stage means a new beginning.

Therefore, it was changed to "Travel Chronicle"!

It is now February 14th of the 10th year. This is not aligned with the Celestial Palace's calendar; it is merely a record of his cultivation that marks his own timeline.

I used to keep this record out of interest.

Now, let's record this...

This is related to the Great Dao of Time, especially the existence of "stripping away the Dao Fruit," which made him have certain thoughts and more sensitive to the time scale of his own cultivation.

It might come in very useful in the future!

The time it took to devour the ancient corpse of the Star God far exceeded Wang Yu's expectations. He suspected that the bloodline of the innate being had very likely surpassed the limits of a true spirit.

In other words, it has reached a level comparable to "immortal level".

The innate true demonic body encountered the same predicament it faced when it seized the bloodline of the Ice Phoenix. It could devour and seize, but could only manifest the incomplete parts and could not perfectly embody the characteristics of the star god.

The extension of the time to seize the road to five years was also due to the slow analysis speed.

The solution is difficult.

The evolution of the "Innate True Demon Body" will allow the Star God's traits to be perfectly manifested again in him.

After the mountain-like ancient corpse disappeared, Wang Yu's true form emerged from it. After closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, countless divine patterns suddenly lit up within his body. Although they were not as exquisite and profound as the four patterns on his brow, they were still a kind of "Dao trace" product.

'Having inherited less than forty percent of the divine power, it still gave rise to a special physique similar to that of a primordial being, which could perhaps be called... the Taiyin Divine Body!'

Furthermore, the 40% realization rate actually gave Wang Yu an evolutionary standard for an innate true demonic body, but he was still 60% away from the next complete transformation.

That's pretty good.

Furthermore, his comprehension of the Taiyin Dao surged once again. Looking at the Taiyin Law, which had already reached 32% and was still growing rapidly, one could tell how much he had gained during this period.

While pondering.

The Demon Lord's clone suddenly spoke.

Are you satisfied?

Wang Yu quickly bowed and said, "Although I did not succeed in one fell swoop, I have perfectly obtained the blood of the Star God. Once my physique evolves, I will be able to perfectly manifest the form of an innate being. Please rest assured, Demon Lord."

"very good."

The Demon Lord's avatar paused for a moment, without mentioning the Candle Dragon Demon Emperor or making any arrangements for Wang Yu. Instead, he spoke about Wang Yu's future whereabouts.

"According to the rules of the Demon Refining Domain, now that you have broken through to the Dao Integration stage, you need to do your part for the human race and go to the Immortal Palace headquarters in the True Spirit Realm to take up your post. Do you have a preferred destination?"

Wang Yu was already aware of this.

Without hesitation, he said, "This disciple is willing to go to the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department, serve as the [Cosmic Sea Patrol Envoy] to eradicate corrupt officials and eliminate alien spies, and do my part for the human race."

There aren't many places for demonic cultivators to choose from.

Besides the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department, there is the Xuanhuang Battle Immortal Department, which has the first Human Emperor of the Ice Prison Realm. Wang Yu could also choose to try to build a relationship with them.

However, since the first Human Emperor was a direct disciple of the True Immortal Xuande, he felt it was best not to get close to him before he had fully matured, especially since the True Immortal Xuande was fond of being a riddle teller.

I was put in charge without even realizing it.

Who could resist that? He prefers big shots like the Demon Lord who directly offer benefits and set conditions; they're straightforward and don't beat around the bush.

As for the Exorcism Department, although its missions are difficult and dangerous, often involving deep behind enemy lines, its high degree of freedom and resource support are comparable to those of the Demon Refining Domain.

They are among the elite, and their affinity with demonic cultivators is perfect!

The position of Ocean Inspector that Wang Yu requested was actually an internal power position with extremely low risk, and he also had the power of life and death, which was suitable for him to get through the period after breaking through to the Dao Integration stage.

When his cultivation progress slows down, no one will need to tell him.

They would then request a job transfer.

Originally intended as a transitional measure, it might be abandoned within a few hundred years, but the Cosmic Sea Patrol's coveted position also carries considerable trouble.

This is the perfect position for those second-generation rich kids to gain prestige, a point that Wang Yu has already taken into account, and it will likely cause some conflict.

But... it doesn't matter.

Throughout his cultivation journey, how much trouble has he caused? The living environment for demonic cultivators is harsh; in the early stages, they forced him to compete, or he would die!

This is also a major reason why he had to fight desperately back then, even though he was burdened with the responsibility of being placed on the shelf. Now that he has risen above others and has many means, he has become a member of the cosmic sea-eating class and can no longer be bullied by the second generation.

The fact that they are arguing now means that their personality has changed.

They've become accustomed to indulging in large meals of meat and alcohol, and to vying for resources and benefits.

"Good spirits."

The Demon Lord's avatar seemed to have seen through his plan, and with a wave of his hand, Wang Yu's True Demon Token flew out.

It was modified and upgraded by the Demon Lord's clone.

The characters on the front are "Immortal Palace Order," while the back reads: "Immortal Demon Exorcism Department, Sea and Space Patrol Envoy - Wang Yu."

Given the Demon Lord's power, directly granting him a position would be a trivial matter, but judging from his expression, he wouldn't endorse him; he's most likely affiliated with the Great Demon Heaven.

This move can prevent him from abusing his power and using others' influence to his advantage.

Wang Yu was quite helpless as the supporters behind him were shifted from the Demon Lord to certain Mahayana Celestial Venerables of the Great Demon Heaven, but he couldn't say anything about it.

It seems so.

Whether it's Xuande Zhenxian or the Demon Lord, they both like to put pressure on younger cultivators, leaving them with no choice but to accept it.

Once the Celestial Palace Token is activated, its system is exactly the same as the True Demon Token, or rather, the True Demon Token is a copy of the Celestial Palace Token, allowing demon cultivators to adapt to this system first.

The two types of "currency" remain the same: merit points and mission tokens.

However, the four major modules—Treasure Pavilion, Secret Magic Building, Divine Power Tower, and Hundred Arts Workshop—have all undergone massive updates, and their names have also been changed. In particular, the number of pages of treasures that can be viewed in the Treasure Pavilion has skyrocketed to several billion.

It would be difficult to even finish looking at them once, let alone analyze their cost-effectiveness. Moreover, they are all treasures that match Wang Yu's current realm. If he wants to see treasures of a higher realm...

This requires higher authority from the Celestial Palace Token.

The lower levels are not required, but certain rare treasures are also not available. For example, the [World Tree Seed] and [Cosmic Light Immortal Vine Seed], which can be exchanged at the Void Refinement stage, as well as the various special exchange options that Wang Yu once obtained, are all unavailable!

From this point of view alone.

The resource investment in the Demon Refining Domain is greater than he imagined, especially in terms of top-tier scarce resources. The value of the Demon Lord's generosity is still rising.

After becoming familiar with the new version of the Celestial Palace Token.

Wang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Senior Demon Lord, why have those special exchange privileges... like the Primordial Thunder Pool and the Dragon Transformation Pool, disappeared?"

He hadn't forgotten that after breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm, continuing to receive the baptism of the Primordial Thunder Pool would upgrade the level of his Body Invulnerable to All Laws, increasing his resistance to various laws until it became completely ineffective.

Upon hearing this...

The Demon Lord's clone laughed and said, "Some special exchanges are only available to junior cultivators at the Void Refinement stage. The Primordial Thunder Pool is quite special. The authority of the Immortal Palace Token is linked to your position. If you want special support, you need to be promoted. If you can be granted the title of King or Marquis, then it will be as you wish."

'Is that so...'

The system of enfeoffing kings and nobles was a strategic deployment of the Immortal Demon Exorcism Department and the Xuanhuang War Immortal Department. Its original intention was to enfeoff the world of alien races to powerful human beings.

Using the names and interests of kings and nobles, they can be driven to manage the world of other races, thus turning it into a bridgehead for attacking other races, or as the first line of defense.

The essence is to deepen the strategic depth and shift the primary battlefield to the territory of other races. Even if the fighting is utterly destroyed, the vast immortal realm can still "eat it up".

Over time, this system became a benefit specifically for cultivators who were proficient in combat techniques. Cultivators with titles of kings and marquises not only had a world under their jurisdiction but also private armies.

His status is subtly higher than that of the Venerable One, because he is even more capable in combat!

But this is not absolute.

After all, many ruthless and cunning killers appear to be kind-hearted people who are not good at killing.

After understanding it clearly.

With this matter settled, the Demon Lord's avatar summoned a disciple and arranged a path for him to the True Spirit Realm. Wang Yu then followed the disciple to the interdimensional teleportation array of the Great Demon Heaven.

…………

Wang Yu plans to temporarily adopt a strategy of blending in with the crowd.

I went to the headquarters of the Vast Immortal Palace first to understand the actual situation before making a decision, and chatted with this person for a while.

Although he is a nominal disciple, he is a Venerable-level expert in the late stage of Dao Integration and is currently in seclusion to cultivate in order to break through to the Mahayana stage.

The two walked and talked.

Wang Yu was mainly asking questions, and the other party was answering.

This person did not slack off towards the talented junior whom the Demon Lord's clone had personally received. Instead, he instructed Wang Yu on many details, all of which were practical information that could not be obtained through hearsay!

on the other hand.

The worry-free identity has come to an end for now.

Wang Yu planned to use his real name to take up his post, which would create a smokescreen. Even if those people were able to investigate the situation in the Demon Refining Domain, they would find it difficult to find Wang Yu's deeds.

after all.

Unlike the Demon Refining Domain, where cultivation levels are limited (the highest being the early stage of the Dao Integration Realm), the outside world poses a limited threat to Wang Yu.

While Mahayana practitioners may not be everywhere, their numbers are considerable, and he cannot afford to offend any of them. Therefore, he must exercise the caution and care that comes with being weak.

The Dao-Merging Great Powers and Void Refining Cultivators who follow the path of immortality constitute a relatively large stratum within the Immortal Palace, and most of them have impressive backgrounds and connections.

However, there are also many "weak Taoists" who come from small worlds.

Because these people did not connect with the cosmic sea during their growth period, their cultivation systems are different and often have some defects, so they can only reach the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

Many will choose to rebuild their immortal path, becoming laborers recruited by the government. The first lesson in navigating the immortal palace is how to identify these people.

Almost all of the above information was provided by this senior brother.

Wang Yu felt he had gained a lot.

Upon stepping onto the interdimensional teleportation array, Wang Yu couldn't help but ask, "May I ask how you are addressed, Senior Brother? The information you shared today is of great value to me, Junior Brother, and I will surely repay you in the future."

"Junior Brother Wang, there's no need to be so polite. The favor will be on Su Tianji's behalf, Junior Brother Su."

Wang Yu was stunned and speechless for a moment.
