Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 337

Several days later, at the edge of the Blood Demon Sea.

This place was named a sea because it was one of the most vast regions within the Blood Abyss Sacred Land, stretching nearly four thousand kilometers in all directions.

The seawater was crimson, naturally imbued with endless blood baleful aura.

The deeper one went beneath the surface, the denser the blood baleful aura became. Ordinary cultivators who approached would suffer the calamity of blood baleful intrusion into the body.

In mild cases, one would lose sanity and wander aimlessly in this place. In severe cases, the soul would dissipate, smashed into an imbecile by the blood baleful aura, never to recover, similar in consequence to a shattered mind.

One could even be controlled, eventually becoming a servant of the Blood Demon Sea.

This blood baleful aura belonged to the Yin attribute. The Yin Nether Demonic Dragon Art could make use of it as well. If not for the fact that his last breakthrough had not been long ago, Wang Yu might have ventured deep into the blood sea.

Such a perilous place was bound to conceal powerful spiritual objects.

These were all opportunities.

Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient, leaving him with nothing but helpless sighs.“The Returning True Spirit Pill lacks a primary ingredient known as the Millennium Rain Lotus Seed. This treasure can purify magical power and cleanse the physical body. When used together with the Myriad Spirits Blood Essence, the effect is optimal.

“Therefore, it is very possible that some disciples carried it into the Blood Abyss. Among the Nine Peaks, the disciples of Barbarian Ghost Peak are the most likely to possess this item.”

At the edge of the Blood Demon Sea.

Wang Yu was pondering where he should search for the required medicinal treasure. Barbarian Ghost Peak ranked eighth among the Exalted Sect’s Nine Peaks, only above Evil God Peak.

The number of Nascent Soul cultivators it possessed was actually not small, even one more than Cold Blood Peak, a total of five.

However, all of them were only at the early Nascent Soul stage, which was why the peak ranked so low. Strictly speaking, since entering the Blood Abyss, Wang Yu had not encountered a single fellow disciple from Barbarian Ghost Peak.

However.

He suddenly thought of Wei Shanze. This man was one of Barbarian Ghost Peak’s true inheritors. According to Ding Ming, this old brother of his was acting together with the main Wei clan team.

Moreover, Wei Hao shared a history of jointly breaking into the He clan of Luofu Mountain with Wang Yu.

Using this as a link, finding Wei Shanze and then confirming the general activity area of the Barbarian Ghost Peak disciples would be the most time saving and effort saving approach.

“Let’s do it this way.”

Having made up his mind, Wang Yu took out a sound transmission jade talisman. While flying along the edge of the Blood Demon Sea, he contacted Wei Hao.

He roughly knew where the Wei clan was operating. Previously, when he soul searched a Feng clan cultivator in the Demonic Cavern, he had learned that the two sides had conspired regarding the Blood Infant Fruit.

At this point, there was no need to worry about failing to find them. As long as the general area was confirmed, the sound transmission jade talisman would naturally be able to make contact.

Several days later.

At the southeastern edge of the Blood Demon Sea.

“Brother Wei, long time no see.”

“Brother Wang, your great name has been widely sung throughout the Blood Abyss recently. I hear that Zhuo Shouyun suffered a major loss at your hands.”

“Just luck, just luck.”

The process of finding Wei Hao was extremely smooth.

Along the way, Wang Yu also encountered a small number of demonic thralls at the edge of the Blood Demon Sea. The ice coffin seal once again showed its effect, allowing him to resume accumulating Myriad Spirits Blood Essence.

The Wei clan team consisted of seven people in total, and Wei Shanze was among them. He was currently greeting Wang Yu awkwardly. This fellow had caused trouble in Jade Spirit City before and had paid half of his family assets to Wang Yu.

He was the type who delivered treasures to others.

Meeting again now, their statuses were no longer comparable. He addressed Wang Yu as Elder or senior brother.

The others in the team also looked sideways at Wang Yu. They knew he was involved in the conflict between the Two Zhuos, and thus were rather critical of Wei Hao, feeling that he should not have contact with this person.

The Wei clan specialized in producing clever people and did not wish to be drawn into such meaningless struggles. There was no benefit at all if one won, and if one lost, one would be suppressed in secret. The disadvantages far outweighed the advantages.

Their clan had risen generation by generation from humble origins. After finally producing a Nascent Soul cultivator, they shifted to a family faction.

Now they possessed two Nascent Soul ancestors. Though their strength was inferior to the Feng clan, it was still respectable.

“Shanze, come here for a moment.”

Wei Hao felt even more gratitude toward Wang Yu than before. He had personally experienced the might of demonic corpses. If he wished to seek revenge against the True Disciple Jiang, the power of demonic corpses could not be ignored.

Naturally, he held great goodwill toward Wang Yu, who had brought him such an opportunity, and even wished to swear brotherhood on the spot.

“Ah. Me?”

Wei Shanze looked awkward. Both he and Wei Hao were losers in the struggle for true inheritance. However, Wei Hao had gone to Chasing Moon Prefecture and was almost certain to take control of Wanglong City.

For the clan, this was a great merit of expanding territory.

His status naturally rose. It was said that there was even an intention to establish a new Wei clan bloodline centered on Wei Hao in Wanglong City.

Being suddenly called over now was rather embarrassing.

Before entering the Blood Abyss, he had only just passed the Core Formation tribulation. He had not yet refined his life bound treasure or life bound divine ability, and did not know what matter concerned him.

After he finished listening.

Even though he had done plenty of shady things before, he still felt it was inappropriate. He stiffened his neck and said, “This. This is asking me to be a traitor, isn’t it?”

Wei Hao’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

“Shanze, do not speak so harshly. Brother Wang merely wants to talk with them about Body Refinement insights. What. Are you not confident in the abilities of your senior brothers?”

“No. I. This.”

He was insignificant, not stupid.

His mind was not as sharp as the other Wei clan members, but looking at Wang Yu’s smiling face, how could there be anything good.

The last time he smiled like this, he had emptied fifty percent of his family assets.

Seeing his difficulty, Wang Yu gave Wei Hao a look. The latter immediately and tactfully deployed a sound isolation restriction, causing Wei Shanze’s eyes to widen in shock.

Wang Yu wrapped an arm around Wei Shanze’s shoulder. The Yellow Springs Demonic Sword was directly placed against his neck as he said with a smile.

“You see, you are being forced as well. Only the three of us know about this matter. There are no outsiders.”

“I.”

“Sigh.”

Seeing blood seep from his neck, Wei Shanze hurriedly spoke.

“They went to the Shattered Rock Archipelago in the northern part of the Blood Demon Sea.

“There is a natural wonder there known as the Thousand Mile Blood Tide. In addition, beneath the water there is a mutated benthic demonic humanoid species, making it extremely suitable for Barbarian Ghost Peak cultivators to cultivate on the islands.

“Every time the Blood Abyss Sacred Land opens for thirty years, the fellow disciples of Barbarian Ghost Peak use this place as their core area to explore the surrounding regions.”

“Very well. As a return, I will spare your life this time.”

Wang Yu continued acting.

He was never going to truly kill Wei Shanze. He still had to give Wei Hao some face. Since the other party had been sensible and confessed everything, there was no need to waste further effort.

Before long.

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Wei Hao came over.

“Finished discussing it?”

“More or less. Junior Brother Shanze was very cooperative. This time, many thanks to Brother Wei.”

“As long as I could help Brother Wang, there is no need for thanks.”

“Farewell.”

Having obtained the information he wanted, Wang Yu left decisively. The Blood Demon Sea was extremely dangerous for him, and Zhuo Shouyun was still lying in wait for him.

At the side.

Wei Shanze hesitated to speak. After confirming that Wang Yu had truly left, he cautiously said.

“Cousin, I heard that Zhuo Shouyun has issued a bounty…”

Before he could finish, Wei Hao shot him a cold glance. His heart immediately tightened. He simply slapped himself, indicating that he would never say such things again.

The other Wei clan members said nothing from beginning to end and only followed Wei Hao’s commands.

This made him very satisfied. After thinking for a moment, he still gave an explanation.

“My relationship with Wang Yu is quite good. Do not ruin this connection, otherwise even the Dark Demon Barbarian Lord will not be able to protect you.”

“Shanze understands.”

“Mm.”

The Shattered Rock Archipelago consisted of more than ten islands of varying sizes. The total area was not large, but it was more than sufficient to accommodate dozens of Barbarian Ghost Peak cultivators.

Generations of development had added many buildings with distinct marks of different eras. The earliest styles could even be traced back to the late Ancient Era.

It was truly a remarkable sight.

Of course.

This was a man made spectacle. The natural wonder of this place, the Thousand Mile Blood Tide, was even more magnificent. The boundless blood sea formed wave after wave of blood tides that surged toward the islands.

One could see many Barbarian Ghost path cultivators standing within the blood tides, accepting the baptism of natural might. With every impact, dense blood baleful qi surged into their bodies.

It then pierced through their backs, bringing out sprays of fresh blood and bits of flesh. The training method was primitive and bloody, yet it perfectly embodied the true meaning of the words "Barbarian Ghost".

Allowing baleful qi to remain within the body and transform into nourishment for physical growth was about thirty percent faster than cultivation outside. It was absolutely one of the rare treasured lands.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Wang Yu could not help but sigh.

“No wonder they occupied this place early on. That was a far sighted decision.”

In truth, Wang Yu did not harbor much malice. This opening of the Blood Abyss had brought in nearly a thousand newcomers, plus a batch of old veterans who remained from previous cycles.

The total number should hover around twelve hundred.

He had already killed quite a few in Blood Beast Valley. If he were to also target fellow disciples of Barbarian Ghost Peak, it would mean that one tenth of the manpower had died at his hands.

That was not a good thing.

Those who could enter the Blood Abyss were at least geniuses among Core Formation cultivators. From this group, many Nascent Soul cultivators would surely emerge. Killing them all would damage the future of the Blood Reversal Sect.

This must not be done, nor should it be done.

Unless the other party actively sought death. In that case, it did not matter.

So he truly had not lied to Wei Shanze. He had come to trade with goodwill, definitely not because killing too many people made gathering materials inefficient.

After some thought, Wang Yu still put on the Earth Net Ghost Mask.

“Ahem.

“Is the Barbarian Ghost direct disciple Zhou Lingjun present?”

As his voice spread.

The cultivators tempering their bodies in the blood tide all stopped. About seven or eight people arrived. A young cultivator at the seventh layer of Core Formation flew out from the crowd and looked at Wang Yu.

“May I ask who this fellow Daoist is…”

“Wei Hao of Heavenly Corpse Peak.”

As he spoke, corpse qi spread from his body, slightly easing the vigilance of the group. Seeing that he was using a masked magic treasure to conceal himself, the young cultivator did not expose it.

“What business does Fellow Daoist Wei have with His Highness Lingjun?”

“I have come for a trade. I have heard that Direct Disciple Zhou possesses Millennium Rain Lotus Seeds. I wish to exchange this supreme grade third rank healing pill for them.”

“Supreme grade third rank?”

The Barbarian Ghost Peak cultivators were immediately tempted.

A supreme grade pill at the third rank was more than enough to exchange for Rain Lotus Seeds. In the Blood Abyss, possessing such a pill was no different from having a life saving divine medicine at a critical moment.

The young cultivator himself had three Rain Lotus Seeds and could not help but feel moved.

“Duolong, go check the pill.”

After giving this order, he looked back at Wang Yu.

“What does Fellow Daoist Wei think?”

“There is no problem.”

That Duolong was also an alchemist. Using a pill inspection secret art, he confirmed that there were no issues. Only then did the young cultivator speak.

“His Highness Lingjun is not present. I also have Millennium Rain Lotus Seeds. Is Fellow Daoist Wei willing to exchange?”

“Yes.”

Wang Yu agreed without hesitation. From this initial interaction, the Barbarian Ghost Peak fellow disciples were quite easy to deal with, and the trade proceeded smoothly.

After achieving his goal, Wang Yu immediately withdrew.

He planned to find a place to refine the Returning True Spirit Pill. He had already entrusted Yan Ling to obtain the pill formula back when he was at Cold Blood Peak. He had long since mastered it and could directly begin refining.
