Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1440 - 630: Heaven-Questioning Demon Puppet (Part 2)

For example, the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect mentioned by Demon He Wu...

Regarding the method of extracting demonic technique true qi from the Heaven-Questioning Demon Technique cultivated by Demon He Wu, Lin Xuankong cannot possibly use it. He Wu has harmed thousands of young girls, barely reaching the early stage of the first layer of Transcendence. If he were to reach higher realms, like tiers three, four, or five, how many humans would he have to harm? Even if Lin Xuankong slaughters countless beings of non-human races, he feels a slight resistance, let alone practicing such an evil and shameless cultivation technique! Therefore, Lin Xuankong is more curious about Heavenly-Questioning Sect’s control of others with their immortal technique than the method of obtaining true qi!

At this moment, He Wu, caught by Lin Xuankong, is utterly in awe of him. Upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s inquiry, the demon immediately spills the details as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"In response to the Immortal, the president of the Great Yan Kingdom, although under the control of the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect, was not put into power by them. After all, the elders and cultivators of these sects aspire to a higher Immortal Venerable Realm rather than various mortal world pleasures. To Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect, whoever the president of the Great Yan Kingdom is does not matter. Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect simply dispatch disciples annually to obtain various materials from the president or emperor as required for their earthly collections.

As for how Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect extract large amounts of Immortal Venerable true qi... Blood Cloud Sect cultivators mostly rely on slaughtering numerous beings in Blood Cloud Valley to acquire abundant true qi. Blood Cloud Valley, hidden within Endless Tai’e Mountain, although only one-tenth the size of the Great Yan Kingdom, due to its perpetual spring and rich resources, fosters life forms vastly exceeding those throughout Great Yan Kingdom. Therefore, Blood Cloud Sect cultivators reside and hunt there daily, absorbing the spirit blood to cultivate their techniques and gain true qi!

Regarding the Ancestral Soul Sect... He Wu has only heard about it from a friend in Blood Cloud Sect, thereby learning its name and roughly the attire of disciples going outside the sect. He Wu is not well-versed in the Ancestral Soul Sect’s cultivation or methods of gaining abundant true qi. Additionally, according to that Blood Cloud Sect friend, the strength and number of tier two and tier three Immortal Venerables in Ancestral Soul Sect is roughly similar to Blood Cloud Sect, but Ancestral Soul Sect cultivators are more mysterious and rarely appear!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong immediately loses interest in Blood Cloud Sect. He already possesses the Blood Spirit Technique, which is derived from the mystical lineage of Golden Dragon Mini World’s Profound Yin Demon Race, surpassing similar techniques from Absolute Spirit Mini World in practical use, cultivation efficiency, and speed!

With regard to Ancestral Soul Sect, Lin Xuankong is intrigued, surmising it might involve an Incense Fire Dao cultivation method!

Though Lin Xuankong has heard of Incense Fire Dao, in Golden Dragon Mini World’s Profound Yin Demon Sect, he hasn’t acquired such a cultivation technique, nor has he found one among other Immortal Sects and Demon Races within Golden Dragon Mini World. This is simply because the abundant spiritual qi in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm diminishes the need to pursue the laborious Incense Fire Dao!

Unlike Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, this Absolute Spirit Mini World offers a different scenario! In such a truly spiritless mini world, the Incense Fire Dao becomes worthy of consideration; at the very least, mastering it provides Lin Xuankong with another pathway to acquire true qi and reduces the necessity of slaughtering numerous beings!

With this thought, Lin Xuankong coldly looks at He Wu and inquires: "Collection of materials? Since Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect are hidden cultivation sects, each occupying their own grotto heaven blessed land, why do they send disciples into the mortal world to gather materials? Surely their cultivation techniques for acquiring true qi don’t rely on those materials! Also, are you certain you don’t know about Ancestral Soul Sect’s cultivation techniques or its secluded site?"

He Wu nods earnestly, "Responding to the Immortal, I indeed don’t know about Ancestral Soul Sect’s cultivation techniques nor its secluded site!

Concerning why disciples from these sects annually venture into the mortal world for materials under the Great Yan Kingdom president’s purview—it’s simply because even though the sects’ grotto heavens are resourceful, the number of disciples is vast, thereby requiring some external materials for replenishment. Additionally, according to my master, those who reach tier four Immortal Venerable must secure a special Five Elements Spiritual Object to break through the bottleneck into early stage tier five. Thus, the president’s material collection primarily serves these sects’ need for various special Five Elements Spiritual Objects!"

Having said this, He Wu displays utmost respect, bows again, and states: "Does Immortal have further inquiries? Simply ask, and He Wu shall wholly disclose without reserve!"

Despite He Wu’s lack of detailed knowledge about Ancestral Soul Sect, Lin Xuankong feels slightly disappointed!

Yet Lin Xuankong realizes that this Demon He Wu, finding himself in this predicament, likely wouldn’t dare to speak recklessly or hide information; given the cultivators’ comparatively extended lifespans over ordinary humans, they fear death far more!

Thus, after listening to He Wu, Lin Xuankong nods slightly and then says:

"Then, you proceed with explaining the Heaven-Questioning Demon Technique’s method for controlling others!"

Lin Xuankong, during his time in Golden Dragon Immortal Realm and Supreme Origin Realm, has mastered various immortal techniques far stronger than the demonic techniques wielded by Demon He Wu!

For instance, the Profound Yin Demon Sect’s Ten Thousand Body Demon Technique, permitting transformations into tens of thousands of forms, vastly exceeding the magic used by Demon He Wu. The Profound Yin Demon Sect and other Immortal Sects within Golden Dragon Immortal Realm offer countless transformation and clone techniques! Nevertheless, those powerful immortal techniques consume immense amounts of true qi and Immortal Yuan, resulting in headaches for Lin Xuankong!

In such an utterly spiritless mini world, Lin Xuankong must, even for the simplest magic, rely on millennia of cultivation insights to minimize true qi consumption! Thus adapting to circumstances, Lin Xuankong shows interest in learning Demon He Wu’s Heaven-Questioning Demon Technique!

Upon hearing the question about Heaven-Questioning Demon Technique from Lin Xuankong, He Wu furrows his brow, showing a troubled expression, hesitates for a while, then resolutely displays a vicious look and says:

"Although He Wu is not a good person, having harmed many women, my master raised me from childhood, having me swear a heavy oath: should I die without a corpse, I must never impart Heaven-Questioning Demon Technique or the Heaven-Questioning Demon Puppet to anyone outside the sect. Immortal... I cannot fulfill such requests! Should Immortal wish to kill or punish, so be it!"

Lin Xuankong feels somewhat surprised by He Wu’s response,

The demon admits to harming numerous women, making him a vile, ruthless figure almost devoid of humanity! Yet, knowing that refusal might lead to immediate peril, this demon dares to abide by an oath made to his master, rejecting Lin Xuankong directly? It appears this demon, despite nearly losing human nature, still possesses a trace of respect for teachers and the Dao!

Lin Xuankong remains silent for a moment,

then looks at Demon He Wu and says, "How about you let me join Heaven-Questioning Sect and become its sect leader, then?"

He Wu is momentarily stunned by these words.
