Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 107, Section 106: Serving the Master During His Bath
No.

So that's how you use a sundial.

Lu Changyuan raised an eyebrow.

This compass-like instrument was originally embedded in the hourglass of the Underworld's prison, and has passed through the hands of many people since.

However, neither the Lord of the Sun and Moon Palace nor Lu Changyuan regarded this artifact as a magical treasure to assist in cultivation.

By combining the sun and moon into one, one can obscure the way of heaven, thus creating a blessed land where not only the flow of time is different, but enlightenment can also be accelerated.

Xiao Qingfeng used the sundial in the same way.

But today, Lu Changyuan saw how the real thing was used.

That was downright brutal.

The Underworld Lord incorporated the Way of Death into the sundial, forcibly imposing a curse-like countdown on everyone's life.

The hourglass on the foreheads of those spirits began to drip fine sand, and when the sand had all fallen, they would die.

You're telling me this is the Six Realms?

Lu Changyuan looked at the Underworld King as if he had seen a ghost.

What is this thing? And what kind of ability does it have?
They're unreasonable; their attacks are purely forceful and deadly.

Lu Changyuan guessed that the Underworld Lord was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. What sixth-realm expert could put a death countdown on everyone?

He turned to look at the Underworld King, only to find that the Underworld King's complexion was still quite good.

Low energy consumption? This method doesn't consume much energy?
Lu Changyuan asked, "Can you kill some of the most formidable enemies in the clan right now?"

"No, they can use their own methods to break my spells, but they can mostly injure them."

Oh.

That is not bad.

If you were to actually make a move, you would crush everyone, becoming invincible among those in the same realm; that would be terrifying.

It was just as terrifying as it was back then.

Just as Lu Changyuan thought of this, the Underworld Lord waved his hand again: "But if they break the spell, I can put a new layer of spell on them, and repeat the cycle until they are exhausted and die."

?

Lu Changyuan took a deep breath.

How come everyone around me is so incredibly talented? Not to mention the ridiculously powerful Dao that my disciple later comprehended and the Dao of Time that Xia Lianxue comprehended.

This seemingly ordinary Qiu Yuehan was once incredibly strong.

Lu Changyuan suddenly remembered something.

At that time, before Xia Lianxue had recalled her past memories, she was cultivating in Miaoyu Palace. Even if the little fairy lost her memories, her talent should still be excellent.

Unfortunately, there was someone who was even more talented than her.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that I think about it, it really is outrageous. A seventh-realm Yao Guang cultivator who has to start over, and there's someone who can still outshine her. What kind of talent must that person have?

The truth is clear.

Qiu Yuehan is not a normal person either.

The Underworld King tilted his head to look at the long road ahead; the fog had grown even thicker.

No wonder she dared to fight her way back to the Spirit Clan alone. Judging from the situation, even if all the Spirit Clan members rushed at her, they could only kneel down.

When Lu Changyuan first heard the Underworld Lord say that he was going to fight his way back to the Spirit Clan, he thought there would be a tough and arduous battle.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

It seems there's nowhere for me to intervene.

Lu Changyuan thought to himself, "The path of being a kept man that I couldn't master in my past life seems to have a real chance in this one."

What kind of nihilistic path is this? It's far inferior to the path of living off a woman. How could I possibly have such depraved thoughts?!

Lu Changyuan felt as if he had become younger, just like when he first entered the world of cultivation. He was optimistic about everything and didn't have many negative emotions.

The Underworld Lord said calmly, "They've arrived."

Two figures emerged from the thick fog, one in red and one in blue.

"Ming! You!"

It was Chi Zun who spoke, but before he could finish, the fog suddenly transformed into a giant fist, slamming down on Chi Zun and knocking him to the ground.

The King of the Underworld is not fond of talking.

Their aim was to kill Chi Zun.

Countless spider lilies sprouted from Chi Zun's body in an instant, surrounding him completely. A huge fist of mist slammed into Chi Zun's body, even cracking the earth.

Lu Changyuan watched with a pounding heart. With this combination of punches, even Chi Zun, who was also at the sixth realm, was almost powerless to fight back.

boom!
A fierce fire raged around the Crimson Venerable, quickly burning all the flowers to ashes.

He can still stand up.

Chi Zun is quite something.

He roared, "Ming!"

This prompted another action, and an intricate ancient seal was created in his hand.

Before the mark could be formed, the Underworld King leaped up from the sky and kicked down, cracking the earth and causing the Crimson Venerable to sink heavily into the soil.

"An old woman from the human race once taught me a saying: when dealing with enemies, the fewer words you say, the better."

The Underworld Lord stretched out his fair hand, and the space suddenly rippled as someone was pulled out of the void.

That's Lan Zun.

Then, Lan Zun was repeatedly slammed to the ground as if he were being held tightly, until his once noble face was completely disheveled.

That's a vicious tactic.

No wonder Qiu Yuehan's sword became so fierce later; it turns out it was like this all along.

Lu Changyuan was too afraid to look at the scene in front of him.

The beautiful young girl didn't use a sword or anything else; she simply used her fists to punch Chi Zun's face repeatedly.

boom!
Boom!

The King of the Underworld said calmly, "After you die, I will take your spirit out and put it in the fire to be roasted day and night."

The road is so long and magnificent that it is truly breathtaking.

But in an instant, a strange sense of crisis arose.

The long road ahead seemed to have given way to a broken will.

The clanging sound, like metal clashing, ignited a spark in the heart of the broken heart.

A ferocious-looking spirit appeared beside Lu Changyuan.

The spirits summoned by the Crimson Lord and the Blue Lord?

Without time to think, Lu Changyuan instinctively raised his sword, and Bai Zang appeared in an instant, followed by the Chunyang Sword.

The Eldar can summon the spirits of the dead.

Cutting off thoughts can eliminate all thoughts, so Lu Changyuan easily shattered the spirit in front of him.

But cutting it to pieces is not the final outcome.

Countless illusory spirits appeared before Lu Changyuan—these were all summoned by the two Venerable Ones.

Do I have to fight this many by myself?
The voice of the Underworld King drifted from afar: "Be careful."

Looking again, the scenery in the field had changed.

Crimson Lord and Blue Lord had stood up at some point and were now joining forces to attack Underworld Lord. Although it seemed that Underworld Lord was still on the losing end, he probably wouldn't have a chance to help Lu Changyuan.

The Crimson Lord roared, "You have indeed learned some human skills, but as a member of the Spirit Race, you haven't fully mastered the art of commanding spirits. You want a title? I'll kill your guardian spirit, and you won't get a share of the titles within the Spirit Race."

Lu Changyuan then understood something.

In ancient times, the number of Yao Guang was fixed, one per clan, and the quota was distributed by the Heavenly Dao.

What kind of chaotic era was this ancient time?

Lu Changyuan laughed and said, "Don't worry about me. You kill the two of them, and I'll kill their spirits. It's just that we each do our part."

As soon as the words were spoken, the thick fog rolled in again, obscuring everything.

In the thick fog, the spirits were disoriented, their bodies covered in flowers.

That’s true.

I've never had such an easy fight before.

Take control of the field at the start.

Lu Changyuan reflected on himself. In the past, when he fought with others, even when beating people up in the cultivation world, he had been ruthless and used his sword to slash at them.

The efficiency is a bit low.

We should learn from the King of the Underworld.

He thought about it.

Eh.

I actually came up with a plan.

The "Five Desires and Six Dusts Transformation Mantra" was attached to the Severing Thoughts and then transformed into a phantom image, with countless sword shadows floating up.

This is not actually Lu Changyuan's sword move.

It belongs to the Green Grass Sword Sect.

Its name is also very simple: "Little Grass Sword Technique".

The sword intent is dispersed, like ten thousand swords falling, causing terrifying area damage to the enemy.

Lu Changyuan was an old acquaintance of the former leader of the Green Grass Sword Sect, and he learned a few moves from him, this being one of them.

This move was modified in Lu Changyuan's hands.

Some of the spirits pierced by the illusory sword were not yet dead. Those thick-skinned spirits that were close to the fifth realm struggled to get up, as if they wanted to tear Lu Changyuan apart.

But strangely, small grasses sprouted from their wounds, absorbing their thoughts to nourish Lu Changyuan.

It was like the spider lily of the Underworld. The spirits summoned by the Crimson Lord and the Blue Lord were lost in the thick fog, and eventually died from being pulled out by the little grass.

It works quite well.

Cultivating immortality should also keep up with the times, Lu Changyuan thought to himself.

The "Five Desires and Six Dusts Transformation Mind Technique" requires Lu Changyuan to devour other desires, and the spirits summoned by the Spirit Clan are undoubtedly a great tonic for him.

Lu Changyuan suddenly had an idea: if he raised the spirit race in the back garden and fed it spirits every day, would he be able to quickly enter the fifth realm?
That seems rather unethical.

boom.

Just as Lu Changyuan was thinking, ghostly blue flames suddenly ignited all around, and the thick fog began to burn fiercely, tearing a hole in the fog.

"They're really taking me too lightly."

The Underworld Lord suddenly appeared in front of Lu Changyuan, extending his fair and beautiful hand to catch the ghostly blue flame that was about to be thrown at Lu Changyuan.

Bang.

The will-o'-the-wisp was crushed.

As the fog dissipated, Lu Changyuan was finally able to see the pitiful state of Chi Zun and Lan Zun.

The Crimson Lord was left with only half of his body, while the Blue Lord's cheeks were sunken, as if his face had been hammered and dented.

"go!"

Blue Venerable suddenly grabbed Red Venerable and transformed into a gust of wind, trying to escape into the distance.

"Trying to leave is a bit of an insult to me," Hades sneered.

The red spider lilies hanging low to the ground began to bloom in dazzling splendor. The bright moonlight at night seemed to reflect the red flowers, turning them crimson in an instant.

boom!
The Crimson Lord and the Blue Lord fell to the ground. Although they were not dead yet, they were not far from being dead.

What a scary woman.

Lu Changyuan carefully considered his Kaiyang combat strength before he returned to the mortal world, that is, after leaving the Underworld Kingdom, and compared it with the current Underworld King.

hiss.

It seems they are somewhat outmatched by the current Six Realms Underworld Lord.

At that time, I had not yet realized the "Tai Shang Qing Ling Forgets the Immortal Technique", and I had barely practiced the way of killing. I had no chance of fighting with the Ming Lord who looked cold and beautiful in front of me, but actually liked to punch and physically beat people.

The voice of the Underworld King resounded throughout the entire tribe: "Red and Blue have been killed. Anyone who does not kneel before the tree crown within half a day will die."

Without the Crimson Lord and the Blue Lord, the remaining members of the Spirit Clan, if they did not wish to die, had no choice but to kneel before the Underworld Lord's throne.

Lu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He initially thought there was going to be a fierce battle.

"So now all we need to do is wait for the title to be bestowed?"

Lu Changyuan asked curiously.

The Underworld Lord waved to Lu Changyuan: "Don't rush to give me an honorific title."

What's there to be anxious about?
Lu Changyuan then heard the black-haired girl speak in an extremely relaxed voice.

"First, I will serve my master a bath and change him into clean clothes before I go to the tree crown to be crowned."

Mingjun is an extremely clean girl. Even though she was not injured in the battle with Chizun and Lanzun, and only her clothes were dirty, she still washed them clean.

As for the long road ahead.

The guardian spirit naturally takes on the role of the person wearing the clothing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Du fled in panic.

Just like many years ago, when the King of the Underworld fled.

She didn't care about anything else and could only run around in a panic, trying to get away from the vicinity of the World Tree.

Because she had already left when the Underworld Lord used the sundial, there was no hourglass on her forehead.

boom!
She fell to the ground.

Something was holding her back.

Du looked up and saw two illusory spirits slowly appear in front of her.

Those are the Blue Venerable and the Crimson Venerable.

Du stared in horror at the two venerable ones, completely unaware of what had happened.

Chi Zun's face was pale: "What a powerful Dao! We almost didn't make it back."

Lan Zun also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, she didn't learn my clan's secret technique. I don't know if you and I can be reborn once by borrowing each other's spirits. So I'll give those two bodies to her. You and I need to find a place to repair our bodies."

When Du left the World Tree, Lan Zun and Chi Zun each placed a wisp of their spirit into Du's body, so that if they couldn't defeat him, they would have another chance.

"It's too late. If we want to slowly repair our bodies and return to the Dao realm, it will take at least several years. We don't have time. Our honorary titles and ranks are about to fall."

Chi shook his head and looked at Du: "You've worked hard. I will collect your thoughts and make you an immortal spirit."

Du asked blankly, "Red Venerable?"

Before she could react, a giant serpent spirit emerged from Chi Zun's hand and swallowed her whole.

Lan Zun frowned, but didn't say anything more.

Chi Zun gritted his teeth: "We must kill that guardian spirit, otherwise her royal status will be too conspicuous!"

"Go find the vampires?"

"Yes, the vampires will not let go of the Queen's blood. Only by consuming her Queen's blood will the vampires be qualified to inherit the throne."

Vampires are a race that hides in the blood-soaked canyons.

A few days later, Crimson Lord and Blue Lord, their bodies nearly broken, arrived at the Blood Marsh.

in memory.

The air here is perpetually filled with a stench of decay and rot, so thick it's almost viscous enough to draw blood. Below, in the crimson swamp, bubbles slowly rise from the viscous liquid, bursting with a sucking sound and releasing an even stronger stench.

The vampires' lair lies beneath this suffocating crimson liquid, resembling an enormous beehive.

They never see the sunlight, their bodies are soft and boneless, resembling leeches magnified countless times. Their smooth bodies are covered with a layer of mucus, and they make almost no sound when they move. Their heads do not have obvious facial features, but only a sucker-like mouthpart made up of countless tiny tentacles that constantly opens and closes. They look disgusting and live by sucking the blood of other species.

It is precisely because of these behaviors that the vampires have always been the most disliked race in the ancient cultivation world.

But the bloodstains before me now are different from those in my memory.

The thick blood had dried, and the mosquitoes that used to be everywhere were nowhere to be seen.

Lan Zun asked incredulously, "What happened here? Was the vampire clan wiped out?"

Chi Zun said calmly, "No, it was the vampires who did it. They devoured my royal family and then gathered the thoughts of all my clansmen into one body to inherit the title of Heavenly Dao."

There are countless races in the world.

The strongest member of each clan can be bestowed with an honorific title by the Heavenly Dao and ascend to the Jade Radiance.

Having an honorific title does not mean that someone can accept it.

This is actually a very easy question to understand.

The title bestowed by Heaven is less a position in Yao Guang and more a pass to enter Yao Guang, allowing those with the strength to truly take charge of a path and step into Yao Guang.

If you aspire to reach the level of Yao Guang, you should at least be at the peak of the Six Realms of Kaiyang, otherwise the title you receive will be meaningless.

There are many weak races in this world.

The weakest are the humans, followed by the vampires.

The strongest members of these two races are only barely at the fourth level, and even if the Heavenly Dao bestows upon them a title, they cannot bear it.

So the Blood Queen of the vampires devised a plan: to gather all the bodies of the vampires together, merge the power of the clan, and create a composite entity capable of receiving the title.

Crimson Lord said, "In the past few years, all the vampires have returned to the Blood Swamp and then transformed."

His words had just fallen.

A figure dressed entirely in black robes emerged from the blood-soaked swamp.

The figure in black robes roared.

It was a sound that was unsettling to hear.

An aggregate of vampires.

If Xueyanluo were here, he would recognize the identity of this aggregate.

Blood demon.

The Blood Demon, one of the three thousand great demons who had not yet taken shape.

Chi Zun said calmly, "The deal we made with you before, that royal family member who was released has returned. You consumed that royal family member's guardian spirit for us. In return, I will give you another ten years' worth of the World Tree's Water of Life."

The black-robed vampire walked over listlessly. The reason it was described as "walked" was because it didn't walk on two legs, but rather seemed to wriggle.

It stood before the Crimson Lord and continued to roar.

Chi Zun was slightly surprised: "You mean you can kill her? Impossible. She's far too strong. You only need to kill the guardian spirit; nothing else is necessary."

The Blood Demon continued to roar.

Chi Zun frowned and said, "We will naturally not compete with you for the royal blood. If you have the ability, you can go and eat her yourself."

Although the reason is unknown, vampires have a natural ability to restrain the guardian spirits of royalty; otherwise, they wouldn't have asked vampires for help when they rebelled against royalty.

The black-robed blood demon stopped speaking and instead lay down in an extremely eerie manner, slowly wriggling away like a worm, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Blue Venerable looked at Red Venerable: "Can it really do that? Its aura is only at the sixth realm. If you and I were at our peak, we could kill it at will."

An aggregate formed by the gathering of all its members from a weak race is nothing more than an insect that a powerful member of the Spirit Race could kill at will.

Chi Zun shook his head: "It only needs to devour that guardian spirit. We're going to the Stone Clan; they still owe us a favor, and it's time to repay it."

At this point in time, the Stone Clan is an extremely powerful race; water, fire, swords, and spears are all unable to harm them.

Before long, Crimson Lord and Blue Lord arrived at a valley filled with rocks.

With a dull rumble, the stones reassembled and coalesced into a headless giant, which then struck the stone wall with a muffled sound.

If Lu Changyuan were here, he would find the headless giant quite familiar.

Because this is Luo.

Luo during his lifetime.
