Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 211 Heading Back Home!

P.S.: I made a typo before and accidentally wrote "previous life" instead of "previous life". Lu Jihuang didn't know that Cao Meng had a previous life!
Wherever the world-destroying sword energy passed, the air was torn into countless tiny ripples, and space itself began to distort.

Locked by the world-destroying sword energy, Lu Jihuang trembled and hovered in mid-air, a hint of fear and confusion flashing in his eyes!

Why is Cao Meng's "One Sword Across Worlds" technique so terrifying?
This is not even in the same league as the Sword of the Demon Sword Sect or the Sword of Inquiry Sect!
After Lu Jihuang regained his senses, he was no longer able to dodge because he was locked onto by the World-Destroying Sword Qi.

He then channeled his inner energy to condense a layer of pale yellow light shield, firmly protecting himself.

However, the World-Destroying Sword Qi was as greedy as a hungry wolf. It ignored the fragile light shield and directly penetrated Lu Jihuang's defense, being devoured by the blood-red sword light of the World-Destroying Sword Qi.

The physical body, soul, and nascent soul all disintegrated and returned to nothingness.

"The 'One Sword Separates Worlds' technique is too domineering; it should be used less often in the future!"

After Cao Meng killed Lu Jihuang, he immediately regretted it.

Although Lu Jihuang was killed, there was no complete corpse left, which meant that the body could not be sold for money.

Can't this old man be a little stronger?

If you could take that sword and be reborn, half-dead, wouldn't that be great? You'd be happy, I'd be happy, and everyone would be happy.

After Cao Meng killed Lu Jihuang, he went to help others.

Meanwhile, on Shishi's side, the battle was nearing its end, and Gu Qingfeng was almost out of talismans.

"I never imagined that I, Gu Qingfeng, would be driven to such a desperate situation by you evil heretics!"

"Today, I, Gu Qingfeng, will fight you to the death!"

In dire straits, Gu Qingfeng roared to the sky, his spiritual power surging wildly around him.

That's right, he plans to self-destruct.

He knew that if he were captured alive by the Hehuan Sect, he would suffer a fate worse than death.

He felt that death was better than living a life worse than death.

"He wants to blow himself up!"

Xu Ru realized that Gu Qingfeng wanted to self-destruct, and was immediately shocked.

"go with!"

Shishi activated the Myriad Soul Snow Banner, using the power of corpse energy and frost to create a talisman lock that pierced through Gu Qingfeng's dantian and primordial spirit, completely imprisoning him and preventing him from self-destructing!
After Gu Qingfeng, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was captured alive, one can imagine what the rest of the Xuan Tian Sect would do.

In the end, more than 20 of the thirty-odd people were captured alive, and the rest were killed.

After the Hehuan Sect finished cleaning up the battlefield, Xu Ru quickly gave the order:

"Hurry up and get out of here! Gu Qingfeng must have called for help before he was captured!"

Although Gu Qingfeng has been captured, Xu Ru is a little worried that the Xuantian Sect might come to her rescue.

If it's a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, that's fine, but the worst-case scenario is a Void Refinement stage cultivator. The most urgent thing right now is to rejoin the main force!

Actually, Xu Ru's worries were a bit unnecessary; an accident had occurred at the Xuan Tian Sect.

……

Gu Teng, the peak master of Dayuan Peak of Xuantian Sect, had just subdued the Sun Wheel Dynasty, a first-class power with Nascent Soul cultivators, when an accident occurred.

The Corpse Yin Sect also arrived at the Sun Wheel Dynasty, led by an elder. Upon arrival, the Corpse Yin Sect elder immediately told Gu Teng to get lost.

Gu Teng, the dignified peak master of the Xuan Tian Sect, could hardly tolerate being humiliated by an elder of the Corpse Yin Sect.

Thus, a standoff ensued, which greatly displeased the elders of the Corpse Yin Sect.

And so the two sides began to fight. Gu Teng thought that with his cultivation at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he could easily subdue his opponent.

But things didn't go as planned. The elder of the Corpse Yin Sect was only at the half-step Void Refinement stage, and he slapped Gu Teng so hard that he was dizzy.

Gu Teng's cultivation at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage was completely useless, and he was captured alive by the opponent.

Gu Teng truly hadn't expected that one of the elders of the Corpse Yin Sect would actually be at the half-step Void Refinement stage.

If he could do it all over again, if he had known the other party was only at the half-step Void Refinement stage, he wouldn't have needed the Corpse Yin Sect elder to speak; he would have been gone already. With a peak master of the Xuan Tian Sect captured alive, and such a thing happening within the Xuan Tian Sect, how could they possibly have time to care about a mere hall master like Gu Qingfeng?

In fact, it wasn't just the Xuantian Sect that encountered the Corpse Yin Sect; other top sects also encountered it.

However, some people are wise enough to be pragmatic, while those who are tough are either captured or killed.

……

Cao Meng, who intended to rejoin the main force, received a telepathic message from the female demon midway, instructing them to take the hostages directly back to the Hehuan Sect.

The reason why Consort Duanmu sent Cao Meng and his group back to Huanzong was because of the unexpected situation involving the Corpse Yin Sect.

There are too many experts in the Corpse Yin Sect. Duanmu Fei is afraid that one of her rebellious disciples might be captured and used to make a corpse puppet.

Consort Duanmu was afraid that Cao Meng would encounter members of the Corpse Yin Sect, but little did she know that Cao Meng also wanted to find members of the Corpse Yin Sect.

Cao Meng had a plan, but he was missing one thing in order for it to be successfully executed.

He didn't have that kind of thing, but he guessed that the Corpse Yin Sect did.

"Finally back!"

Xu Ru breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that they had arrived in Chunfeng City.

On her way back, Xu Ru learned some things through the sound transmission jade talisman.

The Hehuan Sect and the Beast Soul Sect had fought over territory, but under the absolute force of the Corpse Yin Sect, they had to give up much of it.

According to the information that has been received so far, the Hehuan Sect and the Beast Soul Sect each received one-tenth of the territory belonging to the Golden Buddha Temple.

The Corpse Yin Sect monopolized 60% of the market share due to its absolute strength, while the remaining 20% ​​was divided among the other top sects of both the righteous and demonic paths.

……

After returning to Suqin Peak, Cao Meng immediately began tinkering with things.

Cao Meng hadn't had time to study the method for crafting a first-tier spiritual weapon (a mobile version of the Immortal Cultivation Edition) that the system had previously rewarded him with, but now that he was back, he naturally wanted to take a look.

The sound transmission jade talisman is too outdated; only a pair of sound transmission jade talismans that are refined together can transmit sound to each other.

Cao Meng now possesses a large number of communication jade talismans: one for contacting a powerful demon, one for contacting a female demon, and one for contacting his vengeful senior sister...

Cao Meng even suspected that those with many friends might have more communication jade talismans than spirit stones.

Cao Meng believed that once his cultivation phone was developed, it would inevitably be the end of the era of sound transmission jade talismans, thus reforming the era of cultivation.

Inside the house...

Cao Meng has gathered the materials and is ready to refine a cultivation-themed mobile phone.

However, before crafting the immortal cultivation version of the phone, he decided to upgrade himself and decisively summoned the system.

"System, open the attribute panel!"

……

Host: Cao Meng!
Cultivation level: Fifth level of Nascent Soul! (Each level up in the Nascent Soul stage costs five million low-grade spirit stones!)
Physique: Ten-Day Sacred Body (Triple Yang!) (Upgradeable with 1 billion low-grade spirit stones!)

Innate Metal Body (Minor Completion) (Upgradeable with 10 million low-grade spirit stones!)

Occupation: Rank 2 Weapon Refiner (100% success rate for Rank 2 Spirit Weapons)
(One million low-grade spirit stones, upgradeable!)

First-Class Spiritual Cuisine Master (100% success rate for first-tier spiritual cuisine)
(10,000 low-grade spirit stones are needed for an upgrade!)
Balance: 1429 million low-grade spirit stones!

Looking at his balance, Cao Meng decisively upgraded his weapon refiner skill. This side job had been under upgrade for too long and it was time to upgrade it.

"Deduct one million low-grade spirit stones, the second-grade weapon refiner will be upgraded to a third-grade weapon refiner, with a 100% success rate for crafting third-tier spirit weapons!"

"Friendly reminder: To upgrade from a Tier 3 weapon refiner to the next Tier 4 weapon refiner, you need 10 million low-grade spirit stones. You currently have 1329 million low-grade spirit stones in your account!"

Looking at the remaining ten million spirit stones, Cao Meng hesitated about which upgrade to make next.

Is it to upgrade one's cultivation level, or to upgrade one's innate Geng Metal body?
