Immortality and cultivation begin at age forty, starting with Foundation Establishment.

Chen An never imagined that one day he would be able to control such a powerful magical artifact.

To achieve immortality, one must remain true to oneself and not let the power before one's eyes cloud one's judgment or impair one's thinking.

If you control a small number of vengeful spirits, the resentment in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is easy to suppress. However, if you control more and more vengeful spirits, their malevolent energy will become increasingly strong, and your mind will definitely be affected.

When the mutated Foundation Establishment Fiend appeared, all the shortcomings of the Myriad Soul Banner were instantly erased.

Chen An only needs to control one mutated vengeful ghost to make all the vengeful ghosts in the entire Ten Thousand Soul Banner at his beck and call.

What Chen An needs to do is to become stronger than this mutated vengeful ghost and maintain a good relationship with it so that the mutated Foundation Establishment vengeful ghost will not have the idea of ​​killing Chen An.

The perception of favorability allows Chen An to perfectly match the Foundation Establishment Ghost, keeping the other party's favorability level constantly rising.

Chen An activated the power of the Myriad Souls Banner from outside Demon Mountain, and then led all the vengeful spirits within the Myriad Souls Banner to storm Demon Mountain to hunt for prey.

Chen An didn't even need to take action himself; all the demonic cultivators had already thrown themselves into disarray.

The vengeful spirits of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were fighting fiercely.

A thin man in a gray cloth shirt emerged from the Demon Mountain Cave, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his left hand and the White Bone Whip in his right, with black energy emanating from his body similar to that of Chen An.

These black energies paled in comparison to the black energies behind Chen An.

The black aura behind Chen An was being controlled by a mutated vengeful ghost, while the thin man in the gray cloth shirt needed to separate himself from the vengeful ghost in order to control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Ghosts kill without any rules.

They will kill any living thing they see.

As the skinny man in the gray shirt began to unleash the vengeful spirits, the wailing throughout the Demon Mountain grew even louder.

All the evil spirits on Demon Mountain would retreat when they came within ten meters of Chen An, including the evil spirits controlled by the skinny man in the gray shirt.

On the contrary, the skinny man in the gray cloth shirt was targeted by the three-headed Foundation Establishment demon.

"As expected, it still doesn't work!"

The thin man in the gray shirt looked up at the sky, concealing the scarlet ferocity in his eyes.

The dark clouds on the horizon pressed down on the sky, so heavy they seemed about to fall, making the whole world unusually quiet.

In a world filled with the roaring and arguing of countless vengeful ghosts, only the thin man in the gray shirt remained silent.

A cold, sharp wind swept through, carrying away the demonic cultivators' exclamations into the distance, while gentle, yin-attribute flowers lay dormant on the earth.

"What a disgusting world."

"Why did you let me be born in the Qian Kingdom, and then turn me into a ruthless killer?"

Why can't I be an innocent mortal who never sees the killing in the world?

"Why should I awaken my wisdom and fantasize about the goodness of humankind?"

"But what exactly is kindness?"

Chen An approached step by step, stopping twenty meters away from the skinny man in the gray shirt. He took out two thunder beads and simultaneously ordered the mutated Foundation Establishment ghost to control the other Foundation Establishment ghosts to attack the skinny man in the gray shirt.

The skinny man in the gray shirt had no defenses, and his soul was directly pierced by a Foundation Establishment stage demon, yet his expression remained unchanged.

"Fellow Daoist, what is kindness?"

"I've heard that this kind of thing is found everywhere outside of Qian Kingdom."

"They say that relationships between people are more than just killing."

"The strong do not plunder resources."

"The weak will receive help."

"Fellow Daoist, do you think there are really such foolish people in this world?"

"Fellow Daoist..."

The Foundation Establishment Fiend couldn't understand what the skinny man in the gray shirt was saying, so while the skinny man in the gray shirt was speaking, it was already tearing at his primordial spirit, until finally even his head was torn off, leaving the skinny man in the gray shirt completely unable to speak.

Chen An showed no sympathy for the other party. He raised the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand and pierced through the thin man in the gray cloth shirt, using the man's flesh and blood to nourish the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

As for why the other party suddenly stopped resisting...

This has nothing to do with Chen An. As long as he is a demonic cultivator, that's enough. In this damned Qian Kingdom, no one who is a demonic cultivator is a good person.

Even a good person, once they break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, will inevitably be burdened with sins.

The thin man in the gray cloth shirt killed the owner of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with a white bone whip. He thought that with his strong willpower, he could easily control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but he did not expect that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was also poisoned.

The demonic cultivator who wielded the White Bone Whip wanted to kill the demonic cultivator who wielded the Myriad Soul Banner, and similarly, the demonic cultivator who wielded the Myriad Soul Banner also wanted to kill the master of the White Bone Whip.

However, the demonic cultivator of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was affected by his mental state and perished prematurely due to a miscalculation.

The owner of the White Bone Whip also succumbed to the poison shortly after he gained control of the Myriad Souls Banner.

The two fought for over a hundred years, from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, and from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the peak Foundation Establishment stage. They had joined forces to kill many people and were known as the Twin Fiends of the entire Yellow Spring Valley.

The combination of the White Bone Whip and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is invincible.

If the two joined forces, even Chen An wouldn't have been able to defeat them so easily. Unfortunately, the two witnessed a terrifying scene behind Chen An that resembled a demonic realm.

The two had a falling out, and then Chen An easily defeated the other party.

Starting ten years ago, the White Bone Whip demon cultivator got closer and closer to the Golden Core realm.

He had many new insights, and he felt that as long as he broke through those shackles, he would have a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage.

He was ready to offer a million doses of blood food, and he wanted to try even if there was only a one percent chance.

But he couldn't understand that feeling.

From the moment he became a demonic cultivator, he lost his kindness. All his feelings were merely a glimpse of kindness, a self-contradiction arising from his inner spirit.

There are many talented people in the cultivation world. In fact, many Foundation Establishment cultivators are qualified to break through to the Golden Core stage. However, there are only so many resources available for the Golden Core stage. Who will break through?

On the Demon Mountain, ten thousand ghosts wailed all night long.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that Chen An used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to collect all the evil spirits.

Ye Hongyi approached Chen An and whispered:

"This Myriad Soul Banner is terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that Senior Brother doesn't lack the perception and divine sense of a Golden Core cultivator, he could probably fight against even a Golden Core cultivator."

Chen An said, "Don't underestimate Golden Core cultivators. Golden Core cultivators are not limited to the Golden Core stage."

"In the cultivation world, the Foundation Establishment stage is the only hurdle that stops most people, and after Foundation Establishment, it is even more difficult to enter the Golden Core stage."

"Some geniuses are still kept out of the door, so imagine how powerful those cultivators who can form a Golden Core must be."

Ye Hongyi said, "I know, I just wanted to say that Senior Brother is very capable."

Chen An said, "Stop talking nonsense, we should go. This can't go on forever."

"It's time for us to go to Thousand Peaks and settle things once and for all, to bring this ordeal to a perfect close."
