Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1418 - 656: Yue Xiumu’s Growth, the Mortal World’s Dead End to Ascension (Part 2)

At present, she simply couldn’t find a way to break free from the contract.

However, if it weren’t for this Talisman Daoist, it’s likely not only her, but the entire Wanhu Demon Kingdom would be destroyed.

In a way, the other party is a benefactor to both the Human Race and the Demon Race.

This also made her emotions extremely complex.

Like a blend of five flavors, she didn’t know what to do.

"That Talisman Daoist is indeed very mysterious."

"But no matter how you look at it, this time truly brought us immense benefits."

"Especially in eliminating countless Demon Caves, granting our Demon Race considerable gifts from the Heavenly Dao."

"Some of the younger generation’s cultivation was already at Integration Perfection, only a step away from Mahayana."

"After receiving these gifts from the Heavenly Dao, they smoothly broke through their bottlenecks and advanced to Integration."

Golden Roar Ancestor remarked with great emotion.

Due to clearing numerous Demon Caves, they received considerable gifts from the Heavenly Dao.

Some Integration Stage Demon Race cultivators received gifts from the Heavenly Dao and even gained recognition from the Law Origin, smoothly advancing to Mahayana Realm.

As it currently stands, there are a total of ten Mahayana cultivators within the Demon Race.

Compared to before, that’s an increase of six.

To be honest, this is already quite an achievement.

Generally speaking, a single era of the Demon Race can give birth to at most five Mahayana cultivators.

But now, unexpectedly, ten Mahayana cultivators emerged all at once, which is truly unimaginable.

It’s simply an unprecedented golden age.

And these gifts from the Heavenly Dao have yet to end.

In the future, there might be even more Mahayana cultivators appearing from the Demon Race.

"Gifts from the Heavenly Dao aren’t easy to receive."

"One must contribute something beneficial to Heaven and Earth to possibly receive them."

"And the Demon Caves are the greatest tumor of the Spirit Ruins Realm; eliminating these Demon Caves is akin to curing a sickness for the Spirit Ruins Realm."

"That’s why we could obtain so many benefits."

"But aside from our Demon Race, the Human Race gained the largest benefits."

"Our Demon Race merely received a small portion of the benefits."

Flame Devouring Ancestor spoke solemnly.

He always paid close attention to the development of the Human Race.

Although the Demon Race and Human Race are indeed in an alliance, they are fundamentally different races.

If a true conflict of interests arises, it might lead to war.

And the development of the Human Race is changing rapidly and frighteningly.

Because over the past hundred years, the Human Race has produced more Mahayana cultivators, reaching a total of twenty, double that of the Demon Race.

There’s no helping it.

Since the Human Race contributed more, they received more gifts from the Heavenly Dao as well.

Not just Mahayana cultivators.

There are also numerous Integration cultivators emerging, no longer just over a hundred Integration but five-fold more, reaching five to six hundred Integration cultivators, which is incredibly exaggerated.

It’s simply an explosive growth.

He’s now very worried.

If things continue like this, the Demon Race is no match for the Human Race.

"There’s no helping it."

"The Human Race’s achievements are indeed greater."

"If it weren’t for the Human Race, we wouldn’t have found an opportunity to eliminate the Demon Caves."

"Now is not the time to break ties with the Human Race."

"The demons always remain a sharp blade hanging over us."

"Don’t be fooled by how the demons are retreating step by step, looking like lost dogs."

"But you and I both know, if given a chance to breathe, they’ll quickly make a comeback."

Ground Elder said seriously.

He’s lived for over a hundred thousand years and naturally knows how terrifying demons can be.

Especially those Upper-Tier demons, whose lifespans are incomprehensibly long and who possess numerous powerful abilities.

They can even summon hordes of demons from other worlds.

Don’t be fooled by the Demon Race reclaiming quite a bit of lost ground.

But a single oversight could result in the Demon Race being wiped out.

And result in losing vast territories.

The battle against demons is just beginning.

"True, the Human Race thinks so too."

"That’s why the Human Race isn’t planning to attack the Ten Thousand Demon Cave so quickly."

"We need to advance steadily, constantly eroding and reclaiming the lands once occupied by demons."

"Our high-tier cultivators among the Demon Race are still too few."

"We need more Integration and Mahayana cultivators."

Yue Xiumu, the King of Wanhu Demon Kingdom, said calmly.

She has a premonition that the future battle with the Demon Race will become increasingly intense.

The current battle is just child’s play, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, the Demon Race needs to cultivate more high-tier cultivators to protect the Wanhu Demon Kingdom.

Otherwise, the Demon Race faces the risk of annihilation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Many Mahayana Demon cultivators nodded.

They sensed the abyss-like aura from Yue Xiumu and were all full of admiration.

Initially, these new Mahayana Demon cultivators thought their powers should be close to that of their king.

But little did they know, the gap between Mahayana and Mahayana is also immense.

Sometimes, it’s even greater than the gap between Integration and Mahayana.

To be honest, these newly advanced Mahayana Demon cultivators have average potential.

Mostly, it’s simply due to recognition from a Law Origin that they advanced to Mahayana.

Consequently, their future cultivation in the Mahayana Realm will be extremely challenging.

They need to comprehend four laws to condense their own Dao.

But losing the infusion from advancing to the Mahayana Realm will drastically reduce their efficiency in comprehending the laws.

Sometimes, even after spending tens of thousands of years, they may not comprehend much of Heaven and Earth Laws.

That’s indeed the case.

Even in the Void Realm of the Ancient Era, where some Mahayana cultivators arose.

Among these Mahayana cultivators, those who could truly ascend to the Immortal Realm were actually very few.

Most Mahayana cultivators were trapped in this Realm, and died when their lifespan ran out.

Some didn’t even have the chance to attract the Immortal Tribulation.

"Now that you understand, be on your way."

Yue Xiumu waved her hand.

Soon after, the many Mahayana Demon cultivators quickly left the palace.

They had no intentions of resisting and found it quite natural.

It felt as if with one word from Yue Xiumu, she could dictate their life and death.

Undoubtedly, her allure path was significantly stronger than before.

These new Mahayana cultivators before her were almost no different from novices.

"My allure path has indeed grown stronger."

"The distance to obtaining the Dao and ascension is not far now."

"Yet even so, I still can’t sense any breath of Immortal Tribulation."

"What exactly has gone wrong in the Mortal World?"

"Is it true that mortal cultivators cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm anymore?"

Yue Xiumu frowned.

In fact, she believed herself to be the one who harvested the most in the Wanhu Demon Kingdom, as she received the most gifts from the Heavenly Dao because the numerous Demon Caves were personally destroyed by her.

Benefiting from the abundant gifts, she received insight from the Heavenly Dao, rapidly progressing in her comprehension of Law Dao Rhyme, and now she had mastered eighteen Heaven and Earth Laws.

Her power had increased several times compared to before.

After all, once a Mahayana cultivator master five Heaven and Earth Laws, they qualify to condense a Dao Seed and achieve immortality.

And with eighteen Heaven and Earth Laws, she had elevated the power of her allure path to an unimaginable level.

She felt her power had increased severalfold.

Furthermore, it wasn’t the end; her strength had room for continuous growth.

Arguably, the past hundred years of war was her most profitable period.

Her progress was simply rapid.

But it was precisely because of such a rapid pace of progress, that she realized significant changes have occurred in the Heaven and Earth of the Mortal World.

She noticed that even reaching Mahayana Perfection Stage, ascension to the Immortal Realm and achieving immortality seemed impossible.

As if an unseen barrier has emerged in Heaven, preventing any mortal cultivators from ascending to the Immortal Realm.

This also prevented her from advancing further.

"The mysterious and unpredictable Talisman Daoist might know something."

"Would this person know what has gone wrong in the Mortal World?"

"Could he solve the problem of failing to ascend to the Immortal Realm?"

Yue Xiumu clenched her fist.

Unfortunately, she’s always wanted to contact Jiang Fan, but he’s continuously in a state of seclusion for cultivation.

She currently can’t contact him.

Right now, she can only wait.

After all, whether it’s Integration Stage cultivators or Mahayana cultivators, it’s quite normal to be in seclusion for hundreds of years at a time.
