Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 426 - Chapter 426 Chapter 237 This Seat Must Not Shirk

Chapter 426: Chapter 237: This Seat Must Not Shirk Responsibility_3 Chapter 426: Chapter 237: This Seat Must Not Shirk Responsibility_3 The key still lies in the quality of the Spiritual Energy, not only is it of high quality, comparable to the Cultivation Cave Mansion of a Third Tier Spirit Vein.

But more importantly!

These old cultivators were desperately breathing in and out, taking out various Spiritual Artifacts and even Spiritual Treasures to conduct detection.

They arrived at an unbelievable conclusion.

The Spiritual Energy in this secret realm… hasn’t been contaminated by Evil Qi!

However, how is this possible!

You must know, as high-ranking individuals in the Immortal Cultivation World, even if their cultivation is low, they are still the ones closest to the core circle.

They had already known for a long time that the Earth Veins of the entire Immortal Cultivation World had been more or less polluted by Evil Qi.

When the Earth Veins are polluted, the Spirit Veins naturally also become problematic, and there’s simply no way to resolve it.

Even though once a high-ranking monk identified the crux of the issue and spent a great deal of effort purifying a part of the Earth Veins,

The purified Earth Veins were nonetheless recontaminated within a matter of days.

As a result, other than helping the great powers of the Immortal Cultivation World realize the despairing fact that the problem might not just be with the Earth Veins but with the whole Immortal Cultivation World itself, they gained nothing.

But now, they have discovered that there is still uncontaminated Spiritual Energy in the Immortal Cultivation World!

How is this possible!

The Deputy Pavilion Master of the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion rubbed his temple, having excitedly increased his Divine Sense inspection just now.

It caused him a bit of a headache.

The other Clan Leaders from the big families also had faces flushed with excitement, the unease they previously felt after trading away Demon Cores disappearing without a trace.

Of the Golden Cores who came over, besides the Deputy Pavilion Master, the female Guardian cultivator also came.

With a movement of her form, she became invisible and headed towards the nearest workshop.

There, she saw cultivators who had been living and working inside the secret realm for a while.

Once their Divine Skills were displayed, hundreds of ghostly shadows flew out and vanished.

Soon she heard hundreds of voices at her ear, casting a glance that comprehended the myriad states of life in the secret realm.

The Deputy Pavilion Master smiled and went to an Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Although the Artifact Refiners there did not recognize him, they could feel his profound cultivation.

They bowed respectfully one after another; then they saw this distinguished figure skillfully operate the artifact refining equipment and forge various oddly shaped Magic Artifact parts with his own materials.

The other cultivators who had come, after the initial shock, also began using various means to conduct their tests.

Some tens of minutes later.

An old cultivator was seen kneeling on the ground, crying and lamenting, “My master’s death was too unjust.”

Some were bewildered, while those around who knew explained:

“That is the current Sect Leader of the Heart God Sect.”

“Their Heart God Sect’s Cultivation Technique is increasingly challenging to the point where it was suspected of being forged by ancestors.”

“As a result, what has been cultivated in the Heart God Sect for the past hundred or so years is already not the original Cultivation Technique.”

“The previous Sect Leader firmly believed in the correctness of the technique, and after successfully cultivating several secret techniques, he began to focus on the sect’s divine skill.”

“The result, of course, was Deviation, ending not only in death but also confirming the suspicions of the Cultivation Technique’s forgery.”

“But now it seems, the Heart God Sect’s Cultivation Technique might be related to the purity of the Spiritual Energy.”

After reflecting on this, the cultivator stroked his three-inch long beard and murmured:

“The powers behind this Old Ancestor are unfathomable!”

“They’ve achieved what even the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect could not, perhaps…it really is a different path to survival!”

When the visiting time ended, a group of cultivators returned to the Guardian Immortal City.

The atmosphere on both sides was even more lively.

Some old ancestors from prominent families even expressed their willingness to act as intermediaries for the Old Ancestor, seeking to buy Demon Cores from the families of other Immortal Cities.

Su Ping naturally agreed with a smile.

He doesn’t mind having too many Demon Cores.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, Alien Species either become Demon Kings in the Ten Thousand Mountains or become Protecting Tao Spirit Beasts in Immortal Sects.

Yet, he could continuously obtain Alien Species from Water Blue Star, and by making contracts with them before their intelligence awakened, forcibly turn them into Guardian Gods.

Even more demon cores can also be put to the best use!

In fact, compared to the current Immortal Cultivation World, Su Ping felt he could maximize the use of demon cores!

The Deputy Pavilion Master of Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion put forth a request to Su Ping.

He hoped to build a branch of the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion in that secret realm.

As compensation, they were willing to provide the best group of Artifact Refiners to reside there and forge a certain quota of artifacts annually for the Old Ancestor free of charge.

Su Ping, however, directly indicated there was no need for any free quota.

Doing business should be about mutual benefit; only then can both parties grow strong together.

Still, after learning about Artifact Refining, Su Ping hoped that the Thousand Strange and Ten Thousand Skill Pavilion could prioritize repairing his Immortal Palace.

Upon hearing the words “Immortal Palace,”

the Deputy Pavilion Master immediately thought of the Immortal Palace of the Artifact Heart Sect.

He instantly guessed the two were probably the same.

But such spiritual objects, whoever is destined should obtain them.

Now, it seemed that this Old Ancestor was obviously the fated one!

Regarding the repair request, the Deputy Pavilion Master naturally nodded and agreed.

After dealing with these minor matters and obtaining what he wanted, Su Ping was originally planning to leave.

But he suddenly saw the Deputy Pavilion Master and the Guardian Female Cultivator return after leaving.

They had come back to inform Su Ping of a piece of news they had just learned themselves.

There had been a brief internal conflict in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Due to the Southern Desolate being devoured, the most conservative group of old Demon Kings within the demon beast community realized that if things continued this way, perhaps not a single one of their kind would escape.

They emerged from their seclusion, summoned their old followers, and began to voice their hope for a truce with the outsiders of the Human Clan.

In their view, now that these old-generation Demon Kings were united, the Ten Thousand Mountains might not immediately collaborate with the enemy, but a temporary armistice to ease relations should still be achievable.

The result, however, met with the resolute opposition of the Youthful Faction.

They believed that after thousands of years of deep-rooted hatred, it was impossible to cooperate with the Human Clan.

Even if the Ten Thousand Mountains became the next Southern Desolate, the Human Clan would have to be completely annihilated!

Moreover, there were Demon Kings in the Youthful Faction who had been seduced by the Evil God and even gained part of its power, transforming into Great Demons.

They displayed their mighty stature as indestructible demons who still retained their self-consciousness,

and instantly gained the support of many demon beasts who revered strength.

Even when the old faction immediately sensed something was amiss and pointed out the various disadvantages and long-term dangers of such demon forms,

it only provoked intense resistance from the other side.

Instead of being persuaded by reason, they chose to directly and brutally kill the old-generation Demon Kings.

Guardian Immortal City learned of these events because an Old Demon King had desperately escaped and sought refuge in one of the Guardian Immortal Cities, revealing the recent changes in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

“Old Ancestor, with such changes in the Ten Thousand Mountains, the new Demon Kings will definitely launch a large-scale attack to establish their power…”

“If our Immortal City is chosen as the main direction of their assault, I fear we may be in danger!”

Su Ping understood the Guardian Female Cultivator’s request upon hearing it.

Sensing Su Ping’s hesitation,

the Deputy Pavilion Master next to the Guardian Female Cultivator whispered a message.

He stated that if Su Ping was willing to help at the crucial moment, the Immortal City would surely offer treasures worth no less than twenty demon cores.

And it was not just the local forces of Immortal City.

The Great Golden Light Temple was also willing to provide ample merit to those who contributed to the defense!

Hearing about the ample merit and recalling the desirable items on the Merit List, Su Ping’s eyes flickered, and he righteously declared,

“Killing demon beasts has always been what I do most in my life!”

“Now that these abominations are allying with Evil Spirits, they deserve to be slain even more!”

“Rest assured.”

“Not to mention the auction is imminent, and we cannot afford any mishaps.”

“Even my conscience would not allow me to stand by and watch others die without lending a hand!”
