Chapter 471 Twenty Years of Rapid Cultivation: Nascent Soul Level 5
In an instant.
From the moment this person was born and could hear sounds, whether he remembered it or not, Wang Yu was able to glimpse everything he could perceive in his short life.
The farce on the street had a cause that was both simple and complex.
It's simple because this person was carrying out orders from the higher-ups of the Biyun Sect to capture another group of ordinary people from the populace, control them with evil magic, pretend it was the work of demonic cultivators, and further strengthen the chain of evidence.
It's complicated because this Qi Refining ant is actually a spy for the Joyful Union Demon Sect, secretly selecting promising mortal girls in Taihu Lake.
All of them were sent to the Hehuan Demon Sect to satisfy the enormous consumption of their cultivation furnaces. It should be noted that the Hehuan Demon Sect not only needed cultivation furnaces, but its vast flesh and blood business also spread to almost every city in Chiyuan.
The consumption in this area is also enormous. A young girl in her prime can last for a while if she is a cultivator, but if she is an ordinary person, she will not be able to endure it for more than three years.
The Red Ibis region has a population of only a little over a billion, and is closely watched by the major demonic sects. If they really need to select a large number of high-quality "seedlings," then the Taihu Lake region is indeed an excellent place.
Over the decades, this Qi Refining cultivator has used the name of the Biyun Sect to engage in human trafficking, truly mastering various methods.
Now that the Soul-Stealing Evil Boat has searched his soul, Wang Yu's divine sense has already taken control of this cultivator.
Given his personality, he actually doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
But the little girl was like the stray cat he had fed before; he had already saved her once, yet she still harmed her in front of him, which was somewhat disrespectful to Wang.
The subsequent processing is relatively simple.
He directly manipulated the cultivator with his divine sense, making him explain that he had mistaken the person for someone else, and then drove away the onlookers. When he reached the father and daughter...
The monk naturally held his breath as well.
He died peacefully.
Wang Yu didn't mind the corpse and threw it directly into the Thunder Fiend Coffin. His skin might be useful, so he preserved the corpse for the time being.
And one thing is certain.
There is a secret stronghold of the Hehuan Demon Sect in Shuiyun Xiandu.
Although this junior cultivator did not know the location, he had a Foundation Establishment stage superior who was specifically responsible for transferring the eligible people he captured and also gave him rewards.
Wang Yu felt that it might come in handy in the future.
Walk closer.
The father and daughter were curled up and motionless. Wang Yu frowned suddenly. Due to the special circumstances just now, the little girl was held tightly in her father's arms.
Those people tried to take the child away.
After all, being labeled a human trafficker, everyone thought the little girl was a victim of abduction. At this moment, the father's arms were twisted and his whole body was covered in bruises.
His eyes were wide open, as if they contained endless resentment.
He was dead, but his body was still warm.
The little girl was held tightly by those large hands, and there were soft tissue contusions on her neck, arms, and feet. She had also lost her life.
She was literally torn to her death by those people.
Wang Yu remained expressionless, his eyes narrowed, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared. He remembered the six months he spent as a spirit slave.
That arm, too, was as fragile as a mortal's life.
The deaths of the father and daughter completely shattered the approachable, down-to-earth nature that Wang Yu had cultivated since returning to the mortal world, replacing it with ruthlessness and murderous intent.
He acted very quickly.
"It's all about timing and fate... This is the cheap life of an ant!"
The series of events made Wang Yu have a very bad impression of the Biyun Sect and a negative view of Taihu Lake. Now that he thinks about it, being sold to Chiyuan back then might have been a good thing.
Given his personality, even if he were to normally join a righteous sect...
It is estimated that he will also go down the path of breaking with his sect and betraying his own.
well……
With a deep sigh, Wang Yu buried the remains of the father and daughter in a scenic spot outside the city.
Starting today, one liquor store in the outer city area has closed.
There will never be another Ninth Brother, such a great philanthropist.
Wang Yu no longer spent his time appreciating worldly affairs, but devoted all his time to cultivation. He refined the Longevity Blood Infant Pill in his physical body and practiced different supernatural powers and secret techniques.
The Guixu Hidden Heaven Mantra was only placed at the beginner level, so Wang Yu decided to use the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform to comprehend it on his own. The same principle applies to the Heavenly Lock Secret Technique, which is difficult to begin with.
It blocked most cultivators, but it was not difficult to continue cultivating after entering the basics and becoming proficient. He temporarily suspended his cultivation after increasing the spatial chain to 10,000 meters.
While increasing its demonic energy, it began to relentlessly pursue the [Immortal Spirit Body] and the [Ice Prison Demon Seal]!
Thus... a full twenty years of secluded cultivation.
July of the 43rd year of Wang Yu's life.
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
In a hidden cave three thousand feet underground, Wang Yu, who had been sitting in meditation for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and the sound of surging waves crashing against the shore resounded within his body.
Twenty years have passed, and just refining the remaining five Blood Infant Pills caused Wang Yu's demonic energy to surge by 21,000 drops, allowing his cultivation to successfully break through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
The total number of drops in the placement slots increased by 3600, and when added to the original 16080 drops of magic energy, the total magic energy now reaches 40680 drops, if not for the spiritual vein environment issues.
Wang Yu rarely absorbs top-grade spirit stones for cultivation, yet his total growth can still increase by about a thousand drops.
He was very close to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage. The placement of items alone would allow him to break through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage in more than forty years, which was far more efficient than that of a normal Nascent Soul cultivator.
Correspondingly, all the Nascent Soul materials that Wang Yu had accumulated since breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage were exhausted and converted into his cultivation level.
He can now absorb top-grade spirit stones normally and cultivate slowly. His cultivation resources are almost exhausted, unless he starts refining pills again.
However, the fourth-tier spiritual materials he possessed were not complete sets, so he needed to participate in some treasure exchange events for Nascent Soul level cultivators to exchange for the spiritual items he had.
Regarding other supernatural abilities, he successfully mastered the Ice Prison Demon Seal.
It has become Wang Yu's only fifth-tier divine ability trump card. If it can be successfully used, it will not be a problem to go head-to-head with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Immortal Spirit Body is one of the extraordinary realms of the fifth stage of Body Refinement.
Early cultivation is equivalent to finding the right path to breakthrough, and overlapping acquisition can further enhance the power of the realm's divine abilities. However, the cultivation of this physical supernatural power is more difficult than imagined.
For a full twenty years, Wang Yu's progress was extremely slow.
It felt like practicing the Heart Sutra back in the day—it was infuriatingly slow.
certainly.
This is also related to Wang Yu's lack of physical essence. Essence, to some extent, is the manifestation of vitality. He had been entangled by the Heavenly Demon Flame for too long.
Although they also gained valuable experience and lessons.
However, the missing vitality was not replenished, so the improvement of body cultivation was slow. Over the past twenty years, there have been two main ways to continuously bring about growth.
The first is the Yin-Yang Demon Dragon Skill in the placement bar.
Secondly, in his Extreme Yin Dragon Body state, he can absorb Heavenly Yin Divine Water to continuously enhance his physical body, which temporarily alleviates his need for vitality.
Over the course of twenty years, his cultivation level has risen slightly to the peak of the mid-stage of the fourth level of Body Refinement, as long as he can enter the "Immortal Spirit Body" stage.
He was able to take advantage of the opportunity of unifying the Immortal Spirit Bone to break through to the late stage of the fourth level of Body Refinement, making even more remarkable progress in this area.
It can also bring greater gains.
"Therefore, the most urgent task now is to replenish vitality."
Wang Yu murmured to himself.
The lack of vitality is not a big problem. As long as it does not damage the body's foundation, it will not affect lifespan, but will only lead to a significant reduction in the body's regenerative ability.
There are many ways to replenish life force, the simplest being a elixir rich in vitality, but the demonic path has a more direct method.
That is to draw life force from others!
This is the specialty of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect, but Wang Yu's "Demon Embryo Profound Origin Secret Incantation" can also do it. After possessing the innate demonic embryo body, this method has developed a considerable number of uses.
The Demon Seed Technique has long since disregarded the requirements of bloodlines.
It can be planted on anyone; it is both a celestial demonic secret technique that controls the life and death of others and a devouring secret method that can absorb everything about the other person with a single thought.
In his early years, when he devoured the Bai family's Grand Elder in Guiling City, he discovered that the lifespan he had consumed during his time as a spirit slave was replenished during this devouring.
This is enough to show that the Demon Seed Secret Technique can also help him replenish the gap in his life force; the only limitation is that it can break through the opponent's mind.
The Asura Dharma intent at the minor stage of accomplishment.
With the Divine Power: Blood Slaughter Heart-Slaying Sword, it's enough to instantly kill cultivators at the mid-Nascent Soul stage or below. Coincidentally, there are some scumbags he wants to slaughter in the nearby Water Cloud Immortal Capital.
"Use your worthless lives to pave the way for my immortal spiritual body!"
Thinking of this, Wang Yu suddenly burst out of the cave.
For him, the seclusion phase was over, so this hidden cave was no longer needed. He had already taken away what he needed to collect, and the little fox was sleeping and transforming in the spirit pet bag.
…………
…………
Shuiyun Immortal Capital, City Lord's Mansion.
After the cold wave disaster twenty years ago, this place was developed into the private territory of the Hongyun lineage of the Biyun Sect. The flawed plan to take the blame could not actually be hidden from the sect.
However, the higher-ups acquiesced to this outcome, choosing to suppress the Ice Valley commander-in-chief's intention to launch an attack, out of consideration for the Hongyun lineage.
The Biyun Sect has seven colored cloud veins, ordered as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The first four veins all have vein masters who have reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
The Hongyun lineage was once the lineage of the sect leader.
Afterwards, the sect weakened, and the position of sect leader was changed to the position of general affairs manager, which was taken over by the Qingyun lineage. It was a purely arduous job, requiring the balancing of the interests of various lineages. There was a lot of work to do and it was easy to offend people.
This is also where the leaders of the righteous path began to be chosen not from those with the strongest combat power, but from those skilled in management and balancing.
However, the Hongyun lineage rose to prominence again, and six Nascent Soul cultivators were born within a thousand years, one of whom reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
The dispute arose from an attempt to restore the sect's ancient system and abolish the system of having a head of general affairs.
So don't be fooled by the fact that the Red Clan is constantly fighting amongst themselves and suffering countless deaths.
The situation is similar in Taihu Lake; there is no fully united dominant force, as the arduous struggle of "conquering the world" has long passed.
The goal of these newcomers is to seize the right to "enjoy"!
While the situation presented by the Biyun Sect during the cold wave was laughable, there were reasons behind it that were difficult for ordinary people to know. The struggles and compromises involved were somewhat fake and unrealistic.
Only the raw, unvarnished number of deaths and injuries among ordinary people is truly accurate.
Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion at that time.
City Lord Yuan Tianyu and the old Taoist priest were drinking together. The former said, "Uncle Honghai, the situation at Black Mountain Pass is not very optimistic."
"Zehu Prefecture has been completely lost, and the Sword Sect's Lingxi Prefecture has been almost completely destroyed. In order to weaken the cultivators' endurance, even the spiritual veins have been moved away by the demonic path."
"Only the Thunderfire Temple in Tianling Prefecture is still holding on, but they are also facing a pincer attack from the Hehuan Demonic Path. Based on the current situation, they will suffer a major defeat in the first clash of this great war between the righteous and demonic paths in at most three years!"
The old Taoist priest in the Red Sea shook his head.
“Nephew, war is different from petty skirmishes among the cultivators. We don’t need to have such a long-term vision. Let’s take care of our immediate territory first.”
Honghai pointed to the map of the Biyun Sect and said.
"From north to south, the four states under the jurisdiction of the sect are Bingyuan State, Shuiyun State, Feng State, and Zehu State."
"Among them, Bingyuan Prefecture is close to Binghe Pass and has long been occupied by the cultivators of Lieyang Sect and a large number of its own powerful members. As long as they have not been defeated, we have no worries about our rear."
"Now that Zehu Prefecture has fallen, we need to consider whether the demons of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect will choose to attack Shuiyun Prefecture or Feng Prefecture. We need to strengthen the defenses along the borders of the prefectures."
"These key roads need to be equipped with checkpoints and sentries."
The old Taoist priest from the Red Sea spoke eloquently, explaining the situation and subsequent arrangements clearly, which convinced City Lord Yuan, who praised him.
“As expected of my senior uncle, after hearing these words, I feel much more at ease.”
Unexpectedly, Hong Hai shook his head.
"Let's keep things separate. Do you still remember that mysterious Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivator who suddenly appeared in Shuiyun Immortal Capital more than twenty years ago?"
"I recall you seem to have some past connection with the Dou family of Xishan?"
"good."
“That person used to run a liquor store in the outer city. He often did good deeds and might be a senior figure in the righteous path. But we must not be so careless.”
Lord Yuan raised an eyebrow.
When it comes to the word "careless," he certainly has something to say. The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention testing the nature of magical power because they were afraid of encountering a powerful figure in the demonic path.
Now that they're gone, they're talking such high-sounding nonsense.
but.
Lord Yuan is no pushover either. All of this was arranged by the old Taoist Honghai. If anything goes wrong, he will only bear secondary responsibility. It is Honghai, who likes to "point fingers," who will bear primary responsibility.
They're all shrewd people!
"As for the Dou family of Xishan, this is a critical time. It's best not to offend them rashly. Let's send someone over to inquire and see if they can contact that Great Perfection cultivator."
"We will do everything as Uncle says. The ancients often said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, and that is indeed true! Uncle's talent and learning have transcended the past and present!"
The old Taoist priest from the Red Sea nodded demurely.
Judging from his rosy complexion, he's been coaxed into a frenzy by Lord Yuan's sweet talk!
As people get older, they become more concerned about their reputation. The old Taoist Honghai has limited potential, and it will be difficult for his cultivation to make significant progress in the next few hundred years.
Therefore, they like to show off in front of younger generations.
Or perhaps it's because he was able to become the inspector of Shuiyun Immortal Capital, partly because the Red Cloud lineage cultivators within the sect's territory couldn't stand his sharp tongue.
The city lord's orders were quickly implemented.
The person who came to be questioned was none other than Miss Dou Zhao, who refused to return to Xishan for ascetic cultivation. The people of the City Lord's Mansion knew that she had the most contact with Wang Yu.
When asked specifically about her, Dou had no other recourse.
She could only have her father, Dou Ying, and several of her uncles who had reached the Core Formation stage wait outside the city lord's mansion, for they remembered that the son of the city lord had coveted Dou Zhao's beauty.
We absolutely dare not allow another conflict to occur.
What a coincidence!
A demon, his face filled with impatience and brimming with murderous intent, was rushing toward the city lord's mansion in Shuiyun Immortal Capital.
I'm experiencing writer's block; I only have one chapter today.
