The turmoil in the Wilderness caused various forces to gather in the Ten Thousand Star Sea and inside and outside the Wilderness, making the demon cultivators extremely excited.
The two largest magic cultivation groups in Tiannan are Luosha Valley and Wanmo Cave. Unlike the righteous sects that recruit disciples, the magic cultivation groups do not go through so many twists and turns when recruiting disciples.
The devil cultivators believe in making soldiers out of beans, and do not care about your background. Even if you are the offspring of the leader of a righteous sect, if you show any tendency to fall into the devil's way, they will excitedly drag you into it.
The reason why there are so many demons in Wanxinghai is that these two families are responsible. They directly sent monks to scatter demon seeds that can turn people into demons everywhere.
These demon seeds contain a trigger that can lead people to demonic possession, a magic method that can be cultivated to the golden elixir level, and most importantly, a demonic spiritual ban.
Once a cultivator obtains a demon seed, his life and death will be controlled by the old demon who created the demon seed.
The demon sects scatter not one or two demon seeds, but thousands or tens of thousands of them to raise Gu. Finally, the little demons who can cultivate to the golden elixir are the thugs and servants they need.
At this moment, the little devil who was killed by Shen Lian was a cultivator at the ninth level of the foundation building stage. He had been pursuing the golden elixir in vain, and fell into the devil's way under the attraction of the demon seed, and was promoted to the golden elixir level.
Looking at the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, there are too many cultivators who are stuck at the ninth level of foundation building, and there are even more cultivators who have been unsuccessful for a long time.
A magical skill that can directly reach the Golden Core level has been sent down from heaven, as well as a magic seed that can help one quickly switch skills. This is too attractive for many people.
As for the future troubles caused by being driven by the old devil, we will have to wait until later.
Shen Lian was a little envious of the way the two major demon sects recruited little demons. The demon cultivators really had no taboos and did not care about the consequences at all.
But it’s also good this way. Killing a little devil is also a great merit for him. During these years of seclusion, all the resentful souls collected from the wilderness have long been liberated.
He had no idea what the current situation was inside the wasteland.
At the southernmost end of the Wanxing Sea is the Hailing Sect, one of the four major Jindan sects at the time. It was also Shen Lian’s first safe place.
During the decades he was in seclusion, the Hailing Sect, which had been passed down for thousands of years, disappeared, and was replaced by a demonic sect called the Black Shark Sect.
When Shen Lian came to Black Whale Island again, the fairy city on the island had long lost its former prosperity, and there was more demonic energy floating in the void.
The people stationed at the city gates also became demon cultivators, staring at the cultivators passing by with teasing eyes.
"Three hundred spirit stones to enter the city."
The newly established Black Shark Sect also knew that Black Whale Island was the center of the sea area and did not cause too much damage.
"Where is my Hongfu Street?"
Not long after, Shen Lian appeared on a street in the city and looked at the ruins in front of him. Not only was the sign of Hongfu Street gone, but most of the street was destroyed.
This sign witnessed the first time he killed Pei Huoyu.
The second time he came here, he killed the old monster Zi Yang again.
The third time I came, the sign was gone.
It's a bad omen.
The divine consciousness was like a dark cloud that covered the sky and earth, and in an instant it enveloped the entire Black Whale City inside and outside, and all the information was sensed.
…
Outside the northern part of Black Whale City, in a huge cave.
Three monks who were infected with demonic energy were engaged in a fierce battle. Because the demonic energy was surging too violently, they were enveloped by the terrifying unknown beast 'Sekma'.
After all the clouds and rain had cleared, the three fighting monks were seen forming the Chinese character "州" (state) stacked on top of each other.
A ball of demonic energy rose up, blowing away the corrupt atmosphere in the cave. Then, inside the bright cave, three monks sat up straight.
"The hidden dangers of the bone-eating and marrow-sucking magic are too great."
One of the handsome demon cultivators spoke, his brows furrowed.
"I used to be unable to practice if I didn't go to Hongyanfang for a month, but now I feel disgusted when I see female practitioners."
Another barefoot man next to him pinched his toes, put them to his nostrils and sniffed, "I think this is good."
For a moment, there was only a middle-aged monk in flowery clothes left in the cave, with his eyes narrowed calmly.
After a long moment, he said, "I think the most important thing now is to complete the task assigned by the master and find out where the Nascent Soul of that female cultivator is hidden.
Otherwise, we... do you want to endure the pain of Yin Fire Soul Refining again?"
Speaking of Yin Fire Soul Refining, the three cultivators present couldn't help but tremble.
“Even if there is only one Nascent Soul left, it is not easy to find…”
Suddenly, there was a bright green light in the cave. Before the three demons could react, the divine light in their eyes became dull.
In the green light, the clone of Merit fell down and placed his palms on the heads of the three demon cultivators with an expressionless face.
With a spiritual strength comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is much easier to get information than before.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan Xi, you really have a miserable life."
After searching the souls of the three demons, Shen Lian got a piece of news.
Yuan Xi Zhenjun of Tianyuan Sect, who had met him once decades ago, was beaten by the devil and only had a Nascent Soul left. He has been hiding somewhere in the Wanxing Sea to lick his wounds.
The three demons in the cave, following the orders of their master, Demon Lord Gusha, were to dig out Yuan Xi's Nascent Soul.
Nowadays, not only the Demon Sect is looking for Yuan Xi’s Nascent Soul, but the Tian Yuan Sect is also looking for it.
"You are really filial!"
With the support of the old demon Gusha, the three of them annexed the Hailing Sect and gave the high-level spiritual objects stored in the Hailing Sect to the old demon Gusha.
As far as I can remember, the Hailing Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, actually has a few good spiritual objects, such as several fourth-level ores and a fourth-level low-quality deep-sea coral bead.
"Gusha, you are ready to die."
After kicking three Jindan demons to death with three kicks, the merit clone summoned a ball of fire and crushed them to ashes.
The fourth-level ore is nothing special. The deep-sea coral bead is an aquatic spiritual object. Its main feature is that it can absorb spiritual energy on its own and improve its grade.
Even if it is currently only of the fourth grade, as long as you are willing to invest resources, it may be possible to cultivate it into a fourth grade, middle grade, or even a fourth grade, upper grade in the future.
After being promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, Shen Lian's next target spiritual objects became the fourth-grade medium and high-grade ones.
Let’s just say, whether this Gusha should be killed or not, no matter what else, the main thing is that the loss of his Hongfu Street sign is closely related to Gusha.
The figure of the Merit Clone flashed and disappeared in the cave. Before leaving, he took away all the remaining little demons in Black Whale City.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Now that there are no more vengeful souls, we can only use the demon head to temporarily replace them.
According to the comparison of the memories of the three demons, Yuan Xi's remaining infant was hiding in the sea area in the northern part of the wilderness.
As for why Yuan Xi was beaten into the Nascent Soul state, the three demons had no idea and just followed the orders and asked their disciples to look for him.
A Nascent Soul that has lost its physical body cannot be separated from its spiritual power for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause a great loss of spirituality.
When Zi Yang became a Nascent Soul, he had a lot of spirit stones and spiritual medicines on him.
"Could this be an opportunity to contact the Tianyuan Sect?"
After leaving Black Whale City, the Merit Clone crossed the sky. Thousands of miles away, Shen Lian transformed into a black-faced man, carefully steering the spirit boat, like a passerby in a hurry.
The previous practice method of running away and hiding is no longer suitable for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.
Apart from anything else, the resources for cultivation alone are a big problem. It took him less than a hundred years to cultivate from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Why.
It’s because I have obtained enough resources for cultivation.
If he had not practiced the Five Elements to derive Yin and Yang, the advancement time could have been greatly shortened if he had just taken the elixir.
"There are meritorious clones who can walk outside on your behalf."
Standing on the flying boat, Shen Lian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast sky, earth and ocean.
The sea is deep and the sky is vast, and the sea breeze makes the robe rustle.
"In this case, why not join the game!"
The flying boat turned into a dazzling stream of light as it drifted along the sea surface, stirring up waves.
Both the original body and the merit clone have advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the strength of their spiritual thoughts has exceeded 200,000 feet, which is comparable to the great perfection of the Nascent Soul.
The merit clone alone is enough to be regarded as a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage. With the addition of merit, people will be a little cautious when facing the merit clone.
However, my original body's combat power is even better, not to mention the several Yin-Yang and Five Elements spells that come with the Five Qis to Origin Technique, and its transformation to the Nascent Soul level.
Just the fact that he has the two kinds of energy, physical and spiritual, in his body makes his combat power even greater than that of his merit clone.
Although his physical cultivation is still at the early stage of the fourth level, he is not without physical cultivation spiritual items. When he met Heiya last time, Heiya left him a physical cultivation spiritual item.
However, Shen Lian had doubts in his heart and never truly refined it into his body.
In addition, after forty years of seclusion, his spiritual enlightenment points have accumulated to 9987, and are about to reach ten thousand points.
According to previous calculations, the Five Elements Spirit will awaken for the second time after 10,000 points.
Once his physical body advances to the middle stage of the fourth stage and his spiritual body also advances to the middle stage, he will not be afraid even if he reaches the great perfection of the Nascent Soul.
These foundations are the basis for him to dare to join the game.
As for his other background, the various craftsmen are the basis for him to unite other forces. Looking at the entire Tiannan, or even other nearby immortal cultivation circles, it is unknown whether there are any top-grade fourth-grade craftsmen.
Especially for the cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage and the Great Perfection stage, what do they want most? Over the years, the number of perception points accumulated has exceeded 2.04 million.
It takes 400,000 points to advance from the lower grade of the fourth level to the middle grade, and 800,000 points to advance from the middle grade to the upper grade.
The last time he entered the wilderness, Shen Lian's idea was to upgrade the puppet to the fourth-grade upper level, and then create another clone for himself.
But now his thoughts have changed. The matter of the clone can be postponed for the time being. He needs to see how things develop next.
In order to get Tianyuan Sect to join the game, we must have something solid to see what Tianyuan Sect lacks, whether it is spiritual treasures, talismans, or elixirs, and then act accordingly.
If you need to refine elixirs, improve your elixir refining skills. If you need spiritual treasures, improve your spiritual treasure skills.
Without this confidence, how could he dare to join the game?
