Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 126 The Primal Demonic Sect, Capture

According to the intelligence from the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan is located in the southern part of the Endless Wilderness, where there is a very famous group of Fiery Prison Volcanoes.

This volcanic cluster erupts lava year-round, with power ranging from level one to level five, making the environment extremely harsh.

However, it is a treasure trove for the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan, as such a place makes it easier for them to undergo life-and-death training.

In their early years, the immortal silkworms are sent to volcanoes for life-or-death training under the care of their elders, so that they can improve rapidly in the early stages.

Therefore, that area is a well-known forbidden zone in the Endless Wilderness, and few races dare to set foot in it.

However, the only problem now is that the location of the Immortal Silkworm Clan is billions of miles away from the nearest point in humankind.

If you try to travel on your own, it will take too much time.

Su You is currently at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and his flight speed is about two thousand miles per hour. If the wizard's methods are added, it will be more than three thousand miles per hour.

It will take at least forty years to get there.

Even if he were to purchase a faster spirit boat as his mode of transportation, it would still take him twenty or thirty years.

With this in mind, Su You returned to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and spent over 300,000 spirit stones to obtain the result and solution he desired.

The location of humans and the Undying Silkworm Clan is actually connected by a teleportation array.

That teleportation array is located in the Primal Demon Sect, the number one demonic sect in the Yun'an World.

The Primal Demon Sect has always had dealings with the Undying Silkworm Clan.

Every thirty years, the Primal Demon Sect sends people there to undergo a life-or-death trial. Only those who bring back the essence of the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan can become inner disciples of the sect.

The essence blood of the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan is extremely powerful. Due to its innate talent, the essence blood extracted from them at each death possesses extremely strong vitality and is a top-grade longevity treasure.

More importantly, the essence and blood of the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan have an extraordinary effect on the cultivation techniques of the Primal Demon Sect.

So, millions of years ago, the Primal Demon Sect blazed a trail through the endless wilderness, finally opening a path to the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan.

Furthermore, they devoted all the power of their sect to trying to destroy and keep the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan under their control.

Although the Primal Demon Sect is the number one demonic sect in Yun'an World, with its powerful strength and dozens of Nascent Soul Venerables, plus some affiliated sects and allies, sending out more than a hundred Nascent Soul Venerables in total, the Undying Heavenly Silkworm Clan is not to be underestimated.

Although their clan is small in number, those who survive to adulthood all possess fifth-tier strength, and their numbers are considerable, making them formidable opponents in battle.

After several battles that could not produce a clear winner, the two sides temporarily ceased fighting.

The Undying Silkworms are wary of the human race behind the Primal Demonic Sect. Although the Undying Silkworm clan is powerful, it is still far inferior to the entire human race.

The demonic sects also fear other demonic sects and righteous cultivators.

If too much strength is lost in this great battle, it will cause huge losses to the entire sect.

Therefore, the leaders of both sides finally reached an agreement that every thirty years, the Demonic Sect could send a group of cultivators to train and fight against their disciples.

If an Undying Heavenly Silkworm dies in battle, the Demonic Sect can extract its essence and blood, but cannot kill it consecutively.

As for humans, they don't receive as much protection, so the mortality rate in this trial within the Primal Demon Sect has always been very high.

Of course, this is the agreement on the surface; it's unclear whether there are other agreements behind the scenes.

In any case, for the original demonic sect, exchanging the lives of ordinary demonic cultivators for essence blood is still a worthwhile deal.

The Undying Silkworms also gained life-and-death experience and no longer need to worry about real death. Moreover, the trial site is their nest, so even if someone breaks the rules, an elder will appear immediately.

……

The Primal Demonic Sect.

Su You joined the Primal Demon Sect with ease, becoming an outer disciple. Of course, this identity was only for participating in the trial and heading to the Fiery Hell Volcano.

Surviving the trials and bringing out a drop of essence blood is the fastest way to become a true disciple of the Primal Demonic Sect, which also attracts a group of rogue cultivators who are unaware of the inside story.

After all, the mortality rate of the trial was always kept secret, and it was only by spending hundreds of thousands of spirit stones that he was able to obtain specific information.

How could a rogue cultivator who wants to join the Primal Demonic Sect possibly be willing to spend such a huge amount of money to buy information?

With so many spirit stones on you, you might as well get yourself a powerful magic weapon or talisman.

The next trial was two years later, and Su You didn't rest either, using teleportation arrays to travel to the core immortal cities of various continents.

Once his wizarding realm breaks through to level two, he can start his plan. However, this plan still requires two items: a fourth-order grand array and a fourth-order spirit-ascending array. The last item is a magic treasure that can draw upon spiritual veins.

These three things are key to the next plan.

However, these things are hard to buy in the Void Heaven Immortal City, so he needs to go to various other immortal cities to see if there is a chance to buy them.

After all, these are only fourth-tier treasures. I saw fourth-tier formations and fourth-tier spirit-raising formations being auctioned at the Cloud Treasure Pavilion's ranking meeting before, but I didn't have enough spirit stones at the time, and I didn't need these things then, so I didn't think about buying them.

But now it is an indispensable item.

……

Two years later, the Primal Demon Sect.

Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators stood in front of the teleportation array and were teleported there one by one.

After all the Golden Core cultivators had been teleported over, the two old men slowly revealed themselves.

"What do you think the mortality rate will be this trial? Can it be lower than 90%?" an old man in a crimson robe asked with a smile.

His words were soft, but carried a hint of cruelty, as if the lives of these cultivators were worthless in his eyes.

“These rogue cultivators have varying levels of cultivation, with the highest being none at the late Golden Core stage. Moreover, they don’t know how to cooperate. A survival rate of five percent would be good enough. Hunting down the Undying Heavenly Silkworm will depend on the geniuses we send out.” Another old man shook his head.

He never valued these rogue cultivators at all. The reason they were allowed to participate in the trial was to send their golden cores to the Undying Silkworm Clan in exchange for their clan's essence and blood.

"We can't let them die too horribly. We need to select a few outstanding rogue cultivators so they can help us spread the word. As long as we nurture them to the Nascent Soul stage and then send them to other states to promote our cause, we'll be able to attract a batch of Golden Core juniors," the old man in the crimson robe said with a smile. Rogue cultivators are like batches of leeks; once harvested, they always grow back. Moreover, the Primordial Demon Sect always chooses different states to recruit rogue cultivators, so after one round, the leeks will grow back.

However, they never imagined that among this batch of韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for easily exploited people), there was a tiger cub lurking. Although the tiger cub is small, it can still harm people.

……

The Lieyu Volcano Group.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, Su You felt a pungent smell of magma, which was much stronger than in the Molten Fire State or the Danling State.

Standing on the fiery red earth, Su You immediately saw the giant volcano in front of him, with thick smoke billowing from it and lava spewing out from time to time.

After arriving here, these independent cultivators had already divided into teams, intending to hunt down the Undying Heavenly Silkworm together.

Back when he was in the Primal Demon Sect, some people tried to recruit him, but he refused them outright.

After refusing many requests, no Golden Core cultivators came to him, and he felt somewhat isolated.

Su You glanced back and around, a meaningful smile on his face, before flying into the air and disappearing from sight.

Actually, he was quite interested in this batch of leeks (a metaphor for easily exploited people). If he could subdue them all and bring them back, it would be a great help.

Unfortunately, the fate of these people was already sealed. The vast majority were destined to perish on this land, and even if they were able to return alive, only a very few would survive.

After getting far away, Su You immediately concealed his presence and flew towards the depths of the volcanic cluster.

When they arrived, they were given a map. Their activity was restricted to the outer area of ​​the volcanic cluster, and it was marked that the area inside was a forbidden zone with an extremely high probability of death if they entered.

Indeed, when Su You flew over, he saw several fifth-tier Undying Heavenly Silkworms observing the situation outside from the outer edge of the inner circle. They would take action immediately if anything seemed amiss.

Upon entering the inner circle, the atmosphere became even hotter.

The volcanoes inside are all at the fourth level, and the lava that erupts from them can cause him great damage if it drips onto him.

Fortunately, with the protection of the sect leader's star ring, he was able to move around the inner circle very easily.

Next, Su You only needs to find a fourth-tier Undying Heavenly Silkworm and take it with him.

"According to the intelligence, the place where these immortal silkworms appear most often is inside those volcanoes, which is where they mainly train." Su You recalled a piece of information and began searching through the volcanoes one by one.

"Found it!" Inside a massive volcano, amidst the fiery red lava, a creature with a fair complexion and numerous black tentacles slid across the surface of the lava.

Once it revealed its body, Su You could clearly see that its body was a bloody mess, and the flesh inside had been cooked by the intense heat of the magma.

Even in this state, the silkworm did not leave, but let out a few mournful howls and continued to writhe in the lava.

Clearly, this level of injury is insufficient to stimulate the Undying Silkworm's talent and allow it to continue evolving.

"That's it!" With a hint of excitement, Su You quickly descended from the sky and plunged directly into the lava.

With the protection of the Star Ring, the magma did not cause him any harm whatsoever.

Even as Su You rapidly approached, the other party remained completely unaware, continuing to immerse themselves in the arduous training.

Su You was startled when he touched its body.

Unfortunately, by the time it realized what was happening, it was too late.

The sect leader's star ring activated once again, connecting with the power of the Dream Butterfly Mirror, and teleported back along with the immortal silkworm.

Originally, Su You had also prepared a batch of fourth-tier spirit talismans, intending to severely injure the Undying Heavenly Silkworm in one go, and then teleport them back together.

But now, this immortal silkworm has indeed delivered itself to our doorstep. It was training in the magma and its entire body was severely injured, making it easy for Su You to suppress it and bring it back.

After it was brought into the Dream Butterfly Mirror, the Great Dream Reincarnation Array, which had been sealed away for a long time and had only served as a trial tool, was finally activated again.

Although this eighth-order grand formation has been around for a long time, it is still functioning normally.

However, to achieve the maximum effect, a massive amount of spiritual energy would probably be needed to activate it.

When this great formation was at its full power, it could instantly trap most Mahayana stage experts in a dreamlike cycle of reincarnation. Within the formation, a moment could last for thousands of years. Unless one's soul is exceptionally strong or one possesses a soul-enhancing magic weapon, one can never escape the cycle of reincarnation.

Now, Su You was only unleashing a fraction of its power. A beam of mysterious light landed on the Undying Heavenly Silkworm, which was preparing to fight back. In an instant, it fell silent, clearly trapped in an illusion from which it could not extricate itself.

"That's incredibly powerful!" Su You couldn't help but exclaim.

He felt that within the entire Dream Butterfly Mirror, including the Mirror itself, the most powerful element was probably this great formation. Unless the Dream Butterfly Mirror was repaired, this great formation would be his strongest weapon.

The only downside is that replicating this process is quite difficult.

The Dream Butterfly Mirror is not a spatial magic item and cannot perform forced teleportation. Therefore, even for a fourth-tier life form, he needs to severely injure the opponent first before he can teleport them over.

Otherwise, with the Star Ring, the Dream Butterfly Mirror's ability to teleport at will, and the Great Dream Reincarnation Thousand Autumns Array, probably no one in the entire Yun'an world could withstand him.

"It's a pity the Dream Butterfly Mirror is damaged. Otherwise, releasing the Dream Butterfly Sect again would have had the same effect." Su You shook his head helplessly.

If the Dream Butterfly Sect can be reinstated, he won't need to go to the trouble of purchasing a fourth-tier grand array and a fourth-tier spirit-ascending array.

Although the small world within the Dream Butterfly Mirror has shrunk and countless spiritual veins have been absorbed, the spiritual veins within the Dream Butterfly Sect have been preserved. However, due to insufficient spiritual energy, their grade has been continuously decreasing, and they have now become sixth-grade high-quality spiritual veins.

Even though it's only a sixth-order spiritual vein, it's still one of the top spiritual veins in the Yun'an World, and it can recover after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy.

"It seems the plan to collect spiritual energy is urgent," Su You thought to himself.

If Dream Mirror can regain even a portion of its abilities, it will be of immense help to him.

After thinking for a while, Su You looked again at the Undying Silkworm lying on the ground.

The Undying Silkworm has now fallen into a state of dormancy, but due to its innate ability, its physical body is slowly recovering.

Su You only needs to wait until its physical body is fully recovered before it can begin its breakthrough.
