I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2707 - 1245: Demon Path of the West Continent

The West Continent, one of the five great continents of the Tianhe Realm, is known for its scarcity of resources. This often compels cultivators there to adopt the life of rogue cultivators, leading them to plunder for what they need.

Despite this, the Pure Palace, revered as the ancient righteous holy land of the West Continent, outwardly upholds peace and justice within the Immortal Cultivation World, which forces rogue cultivators to remain clandestine.

However, the situation is markedly different overseas.

The West Continent shares its borders with the Mysterious Sea and the Earth Sea, two of the formidable Four Seas.

These oceanic territories boast resources far richer than those found on the West Continent, and they teem with numerous spirit beasts. Cultivators willing to exert effort in hunting can always find rewards. Yet, due to the vastness of the sea territories and the limited staffing of the West Continent's holy land, effective management is impossible. Consequently, these areas have become havens for cultivators from all walks of life.

It's not only lone cultivators and rogue cultivators who seek refuge here; nearly half of the devil cultivators in the entire Tianhe Realm also hide within these sea territories.

This is because, among the five continental lands, even the North Continent, the weakest of the righteous factions, is protected by the Star Temple as its holy land. While various true spirits inhabit the sea territories, the sheer expanse of land allows individuals to discover secluded spiritual veins for cultivation, thus evading the righteous path.

Within the demonic path, its most accomplished figure, the central demon path lord, conceals himself within the Earth Sea.

This intelligence is vaguely recognized by the righteous factions in Central State, yet even the Taixu Immortal, upon personally intervening and wielding the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler, failed to locate and eliminate the demon lord's true form.

And today, an exceptionally peculiar phenomenon manifested upon a secluded stretch of the Earth Sea's surface.

What was once a calm and waveless sea began to bubble with black foam, accompanied by the ominous sound of 'gudong gudong'. Darkness then spread relentlessly across the water's surface, coalescing into a square-shaped portal, akin to a gateway to the Netherworld Hell.

Under a chilling and spectral aura of ill omen, a bridge of obsidian stone stretched forth from the portal. Upon it stood a retinue of beings that defied mortal comprehension, including specters of Impermanence, ethereal creatures, and judges...

These entities stood in two solemn rows as the stone bridge continued to ascend.

And at its center, a completely black palanquin.

The curtain of the palanquin stirred gently, revealing the shadowy figure of a youth concealed within.

Momentarily after, the stone bridge ceased its ascent, forming a dark crescent on the sea's surface. Creatures roamed upon it, and an ominous atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

"They have arrived!"

A serene voice echoed as the fabric of the void itself rippled like agitated water. A youth, unremarkable in facial features save for his narrow, elongated eyes, emerged, leaving trails of dark smoke and phantoms in his wake.

"Greetings, central demon lord."

The figure within the palanquin, upon witnessing the youth's arrival, drew back the curtain and stepped out, offering a clasp-handed bow.

He was a handsome youth, possessing strikingly pale skin.

"A moment, please; another esteemed guest is expected shortly."

The central demon lord addressed the youth, and just as his words faded, a faint rumble of thunder sounded from the distant sky. Before the sound even reached their ears, an elder, mounted upon a one-legged grey bull, had already materialized a short distance away.

The elder, his hair iron-grey and clad in simple garments, carried a basket and presented an appearance of weariness, seemingly unremarkable.

Yet, the grey bull beneath him emanated a clear, radiant light, its eyes shimmering like celestial bodies, and its single hoof hovered mid-air, enveloped by thunderclouds that emitted low, soul-shaking rumbles, suggesting the presence of a vast Thunder Sea within.

"Heavenly Spirit True Lord?"

The youth had never encountered the elder before, but the Kui Beast he rode was legendary, recognized alongside the Mysterious Sea Old Flood Dragon as one of the Nine Great True Spirits, known far and wide as the 'Thunder Lord'!

Both the Heavenly Spirit True Lord and the Kui Beast represented peak divinity transformations within the Tianhe Realm. United, their power would be nearly insurmountable, save for a select few.

Therefore, the youth was profoundly astonished by his appearance.

He had never anticipated the final guest to be none other than a righteous deity transformation.

However, his surprise soon gave way to a dawning realization, causing his pupils to involuntarily constrict.

"Thank you, honored Heavenly Spirit, for gracing me with your presence and agreeing to this meeting," the central demon lord said, a broad smile illuminating his face upon seeing the elder.

"And who might he be?"

The Heavenly Spirit True Lord narrowed his gaze towards the youth standing on the stone bridge, his perception registering the youth's divinity transformation realm, and he inquired with a hint of curiosity.

"This represents the sect hierarch of the Jie’e Sect from the West Continent," the central demon lord declared.

Heavenly Spirit True Lord was taken aback, exclaiming, "The West Continent's Demon Path Master! How has he become so young?"

The demon path in the West Continent was primarily governed by three factions: Jie’e, Zhili, and Dingxuan.

Among these, the Zhili faction had long been eradicated by the Pure Palace. Its surviving members subsequently sought refuge by joining the Jie’e Sect to evade the holy land's pursuit.

Following the absorption of the Zhili Demon Sect's legacy and power, the Jie’e Sect experienced a significant surge in strength. Under the guidance of its sect hierarch, it also absorbed the Dingxuan Demon Sect, thereby consolidating control over the entire demon path of the West Continent.

The current sect hierarch of the Jie’e Sect is recognized as one of the foremost divinity transformations within the Five Directions Demon Path. Although they had never directly confronted Heavenly Spirit True Lord, both had previously examined each other's profiles within the Impermanence Pavilion.

It could be argued that the Jie’e Sect's sect hierarch was the most senior divinity transformation established in the Five Directions Demon Path, even predating Heavenly Spirit True Lord.

Logically, he should have been nearing the end of his lifespan and in a state of decline.

Yet, this individual before them now, despite an unsettling and sinister aura, radiated potent elemental energy, bearing no resemblance to an aged remnant.

"My friend, you are likely referring to my master. I have only recently assumed the position of Sect Hierarch for Jie’e Sect," the youth stated calmly, clarifying his status.

"A mere freshly transformed divinity is not qualified to engage in discourse with us," Heavenly Spirit True Lord declared directly to the central demon lord, in the presence of the youth.
