Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Seven Demon Dao Paths

At the moment when Lu Xuanxin received the Demon Emperor’s inheritance.

In the void, a tremendous aura surged into the sky, the breath of the Demon Dao leaked out, and the aura of the Demon Emperor suppressed the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies.

This is the aura of an unparalleled powerhouse in the Demon Dao!

At this moment, various auras were sensed one after another.

“This is the aura of the Demon Dao!”

“The inheritance of the White Bone lineage has appeared again!”

“If someone acquires it, another mighty Demon Emperor will emerge in the future!”

The top cultivators in Chu Country sensed it and went in search of opportunities; some cultivators clamored to slay the demon; others sought to take advantage of the chaos. Various cultivators took action, heading towards the place where the demonic aura appeared.

…

Purple Sun Mountain.

Inside the cave mansion, Golden Dawn Ancestor had just finished cultivating when suddenly sensing a vast demonic aura arising in the distance, within which was an unparalleled pressure, as if a demon emperor had descended.

Shua!

Golden Dawn Ancestor ended his seclusion, stepped out of the cave mansion, and gazed into the distance.

Five thousand miles away, a demonic aura was rising.

“White Bone Demon Emperor, this is the aura of that supreme demon from the past… It’s said that three hundred years ago, the White Bone Demon Emperor was besieged by three Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Immortal Dao and fell on the spot. But the loss on the opposing side was not light; one Nascent Soul True Monarch fell, another was severely injured, and one was lightly injured.”

“The White Bone Demon Emperor fell, but the White Bone Relic he left behind disappeared without a trace. If a cultivator, by some stroke of chance and creation, acquires the White Bone Relic, they will surely fall into the Demon Dao, leading to endless slaughter and seas of blood!”

A trace of worry flashed in Golden Dawn Ancestor’s eyes.

The White Bone Demon Emperor was a late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator, his demonic arts were unparalleled in the world, and it was rumored he had hopes of achieving Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator, but precisely because of this, he was targeted by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Dao and ultimately fell.

In that battle, the White Bone Relic vanished.

The White Bone Relic of that grade already had three golden patterns, greatly beneficial to cultivators.

The fear is that a cultivator will acquire the White Bone Relic and conceal it, leading to endless slaughter.

Demonic cultivation techniques focus largely on slaughter.

The seven lineages of the Demon Dao: Yellow Springs Demon Sect enjoys devouring and controlling ghosts, refining the Hundred Ghosts Banner; White Bone Demon Sect uses bones as materials to refine various demon artifacts; Joyful Union Demon Sect focuses on Yin Yang Dual Cultivation and Yin Yang Replenishment, often caught in the throes of carnal chaos and mundane entanglements; Blood Shadow Demon Sect thrives on slaughter, absorbing blood to enhance cultivation;

Zombies Demon Sect uses corpses as foundation, refining zombie puppets.

Gu Demon Sect uses gu insects as the foundation, dark and sinister.

Supreme Demon Sect delights in manipulating people’s emotions.

The seven lineages of the Demon Dao have been passed down from the Ancient Era to the present, spanning tens of millions of years, and despite certain periods when they were extinguished by the Immortal Dao cultivators, the Demon Dao quickly resurges.

Because of unwillingness.

As long as cultivators have a sense of unwillingness, they are at risk of falling into demonic practices.

Any cultivator harboring such unwillingness has the potential to become a demon cultivator.

Many with Five Spirit Roots, Four Spirit Roots, due to poor aptitude, almost have no chance of reaching Foundation Establishment. Among them, some refuse to accept a life of mediocrity, refuse to stay mired in the Qi Cultivation Stage, and also want to achieve Foundation Establishment, enter the Purple Mansion, or even become a Golden Core.

Thus, these cultivators begin to practice some fast-paced cultivation techniques, rife with hidden dangers, yet capable of proving their own Dao.

If such techniques are not available, they invent some.

Creating a complete, perfect, and flawless cultivation technique is extremely difficult.

But creating techniques full of loopholes and flaws but with a fast cultivation speed is not that hard.

This is the origin of the Demon Dao.

Many loose cultivators, in pursuit of speed, ignore the other path, and this path is known as the Demon Dao.

Many perished on the path of demon cultivation, turning into withered bones.

But there’s always some peerless genius who forcibly carves out a new path amidst struggles.

These geniuses became the progenitors of the Demon Dao.

Initially, loose cultivators were called wild cultivators.

Wild cultivators had no orthodox techniques and were like loose sand.

In the early era, the Immortal Dao sects monopolized everything, prohibiting the leakage of Foundation Establishment techniques, the leakage of Foundation Establishment Pills, and the leakage of various resources.

The Immortal Dao sects decreed that without a Dharma Certificate, cultivators were not allowed to establish their Foundation.

Wild cultivators who established their Foundation could be killed by anyone.

Every so often, the Immortal Dao sects would even hunt down wild cultivators, like hunting rabbits.

The situation for loose cultivators back then was truly tragic.

As a result, a peerless genius emerged among the loose cultivators, growing stronger under the pursuit of the great Immortal Dao sects, and eventually proving his path to Divinity Transformation.

After proving his path to Divinity Transformation, he harbored hatred for the great Immortal Dao sects’ pursuit and began large-scale battles against the Immortal Dao sects.

The fierce battles lasted for a millennium, countless Immortal Dao sects declined and perished, altering the structure of the Cultivation Realm drastically.

Countless Immortal Dao sects chose to withdraw.

That loose cultivator even founded the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, becoming one of the earliest demon sects.

Later, the seven lineages of the Demon Dao emerged one after another.

Because of the threat of the Demon Dao, the Immortal Dao had no choice but to win over the middle and lower-level cultivators, relatively opening up various techniques, elixirs, etc.; the indiscriminate slaughter of loose cultivators was reduced, and instead a strategy of winning over while exploiting them was adopted.

Gradually, this formed the current structure of the Cultivation Realm.

…

“Not good!”

Perceiving the leakage of demonic aura, Lu Xuanxin felt a tinge of unease.

The righteous and the demonic cannot coexist.

Demonic cultivators often chase and kill orthodox cultivators, calling them hypocrites;

Orthodox cultivators frequently kill demon cultivators, claiming to eliminate demons and devils.

He’s tainted with demonic aura, walking down the path of the White Bone Demon Cultivator, if discovered by orthodox cultivators, death would be inevitable.

Not only would he be killed, but his family too would be slaughtered.

Though he wished to bid farewell to his family, after pondering over it, he chose to forgo it, leaving the courtyard immediately, departing Beihai Town, heading into the depths of the mountains.

The farther from home, the better; the farther from home, the safer.

Looking back, it was still within the night.

“Farewell, I embark on the path to immortality!”

He gazed at Beihai Town, leaving it behind and heading into the deep mountains.

…

“The demonic aura, perhaps a Demon Treasure has appeared!”

At this moment, Lu Xuanji saw movement three hundred miles away.

After a glance, he continued on his way.

He had no intention of approaching to seize the treasure.

You eat according to your capabilities.

If he were a Golden Core Cultivator, he wouldn’t mind going forward to grab some, wouldn’t mind going forward to seize the Demon Treasure; but he was merely at the first level of Foundation Establishment, going forward would be offering himself as a dish.

Perhaps a certain ancestor would strike him down as a demon brat with a single sword.

The four great sects of Chu Country were all orthodox sects, deeply hating demon cultivators; if they discovered a cultivator practicing demonic cultivation techniques, they’d kill them without hesitation.

Each year, some cultivators are killed as demon cultivators.

The Cultivation Realm lacks everything but unjustly killed ghosts.

Shua shua!

He left in the opposite direction to visit his second sister this time.

His second sister has Five Spirit Roots, poor aptitude, it’s said she got married, it’s just the right time to visit her family.
