Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

After the Nascent Soul Ceremony, numerous Nascent Soul cultivators gathered in the cave mansion for a small exchange meeting, each obtaining plenty of good items before leaving.

However, Lord Yunmian from the Holy Blue Palace stayed behind.

Lord Yunmian said, "Sect Master Zhao, I would like to speak to you privately!"

Zhao Yu thought to himself, "Here it comes; the Holy Blue Palace has come this time bearing gifts including a Third Order Spirit Island, the top songstress of the Blue Sky Seas, and assisting me in gaining fame in front of others, surely they want something in return."

The two moved to a quiet reception room.

With a serious expression, Lord Yunmian said, "Sect Master Zhao, I have come with an urgent matter to discuss! There are indications that the Seven Seas Sect has colluded with cultivators of the Demon Path, intending to turn the entire Blue Sky Seas into a territory controlled by the Demon Path."

Zhao Yu's expression shifted slightly as he asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Cultivators of the Demon Path cultivate techniques that are brutal and violent, many of which twist the mind, making one cruel and bloodthirsty. Hence, out of every hundred cultivators of the Demon Path, hardly one could be considered a good person.

When the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up, and in the Blue Sky Seas, Zhao Yu had already become a local hegemon, one of the tallest among them. Unless he was willing to abandon his foundation and flee far away, he had to face the threat of the Demon Path cultivators.

Lord Yunmian slowly continued, "A True Disciple of the Seven Seas Sect, Wang Tianling, has cultivated the Demonic Cultivation Technique and transformed a Third Order Spirit Island into a den of demons. From that den have spread countless demonic practitioners."

"After discovering this, the Holy Blue Palace confronted them. However, the Supreme Elder of the Seven Seas Sect, Gong Yang Wuhen, covered for him and only executed the rest of the demonic practitioners."

"In addition, many demonic practitioners originated from the territories of the Seven Seas Sect, leading us in the Holy Blue Palace to speculate that the Seven Seas Sect is very likely in collusion with the Demon Path, intending to transform the entire Blue Sky Seas into a Demon Path territory."

Zhao Yu slightly furrowed his brows and said, "If there is conclusive evidence, my Dan Ling Sect is willing to stand with the Holy Blue Palace to combat these demonic practitioners. However, the current evidence is insufficient."

The Seven Seas Sect was one of the two dominant forces of the human race in the Blue Sky Seas, with profound and immeasurable foundations. Within their sect, they have great cultivators taking seats, and their Mountain Protection Array is also a Fourth-Order Superior Great Array.

Ten Fourth-Order Great Demons of Transformation from the Jiao Shen Palace assaulted the Mountainous Profound Light Great Array and were annihilated by Zhao Yu, which shows the horror of that Fourth-Order Mountain Protection Array.

Ordinary Golden Core Island Masters colluding with Demon Path cultivators could easily be eliminated by the Holy Blue Palace, and Zhao Yu would not mind stepping in as well. However, a hegemon like the Seven Seas Sect was different; without conclusive evidence, mobilizing the collective strength of the cultivators around the entire Blue Sky Seas would be needed to jointly destroy them.

With a slight smile, Lord Yunmian said, "Sect Master Zhao indeed understands the larger picture. With your promise, Sect Master Zhao, my trip has been worthwhile! I shall take my leave now!"

Watching the retreating figure of Lord Yunmian, Zhao Yu slightly furrowed his brows and thought to himself, "It seems the Holy Blue Palace has already found conclusive evidence. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident! The Blue Sky Seas seem to be heading towards unrest again!"

Although the Demonic Cultivation Techniques are brutal, violent, and bizarre, they are also equally mysterious and powerful. Many cultivators are tempted by the fast cultivation speed and powerful capabilities of Demonic Cultivation Techniques, plunging directly into the Demon Path.

While the power of the Demon Path in the Blue Sky Seas is far inferior to that of the orthodox paths, it is nevertheless not weak.

Of course, cultivators of the Demonic Cultivation Techniques also tend to kill each other, and many die at the hands of other Demon Path cultivators.

Zhao Yu returned to the Quiet Room and carefully read through the Refining Method for the Thunder God Spear of Three Tribulations, furrowing his brow slightly, "Apart from the main material, the other materials required for the refinement of the Thunder God Spear of Three Tribulations are also the top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of this realm, and they are all of the Thunder Attribute.

There are dozens of materials that I do not possess; I have no choice but to have my subordinates search for them."

In the following days, Zhao Yu stayed within the Dan Ling Sect to cultivate while sending his subordinates to search for the materials for the Thunder God Spear of Three Tribulations and took the opportunity to teach his two disciples, Fang Shitou and Tang Ruijia.

Saint Blue Palace and the Seventh Sea Sect, the two top human hegemonic powers in the Azure Sky Sea, also began to clash.

Saint Blue Palace accused the Seventh Sea Sect of colluding with cult cultivators, attempting to overthrow the current order and turn the Azure Sky Sea into a realm dominated by the Demon Path.

The Seventh Sea Sect, on the other hand, accused Saint Blue Palace of colluding with demonic tribes, acting as the lapdogs for these tribes, and attempting to make the human race slaves to the demon tribes.

The two top powers were at daggers drawn and began to pull nearby Nascent Soul Powers into their camps.

The Seventh Sea Sect also sent emissaries to win over Zhao Yu, but they were stingier than Saint Blue Palace, offering only a bunch of empty promises without any substantial benefits. Zhao Yu also brushed them off directly, keeping the Dan Ling Sect neutral for the time being.

As time passed, more and more human Nascent Soul Powers could not resist the pressure and joined the ranks of either the Seventh Sea Sect or Saint Blue Palace, leaving fewer and fewer human forces able to maintain neutrality.

Ten years later, Yunxiang Building, fifth floor, in Immortal City Tianli.

Lord withered Wood entered a private room and saw Lord Golden Spirit sitting behind a jade table.

Next to Lord Golden Spirit were two incense burners, with wafts of strange spiritual fragrance drifting through the building. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Lord Withered Wood sat down next to the jade table and said, "Lord Golden Spirit, you invited me here saying there was an important matter to discuss. What exactly is the matter?"

Lord Golden Spirit smiled slightly and pushed a cup of Spiritual Tea towards him, "Don't rush! This is the newly arrived 'Dragon Birth Tri-Leaf Fragrance.' This tea is full of aroma and possesses the effects of focusing the mind and calming the spirit, offering quite a few benefits even to us."

Lord Withered Wood picked up the Spiritual Tea, swept it with his Divine Sense, suddenly put the tea back on the table, and stood up, "Lord Golden Spirit, I just remembered that I still have an important matter to deal with, I will take my leave now!"

"Lord Withered Wood, please stay!"

A ravishingly beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, dazzling looks, dressed in bright red garments, a beauty mark on the corner of her lips, and exuding an astonishing allure, together with a tall, handsome young man in blue, looking quite refined but wearing a necklace of human skulls around his neck, blocked Lord Withered Wood's path.

Lord Withered Wood's heart sank as he slowly said, "Red Enchantress, Human Head Scholar, Lord Golden Spirit, why have you colluded with Demon Path cultivators?"

The Red Enchantress and Human Head Scholar were both major figures of the Demon Path within the Azure Sky Sea. The Red Enchantress had once drained all the life essence from the cultivators of a Third-Order Spirit Island in one go. The Human Head Scholar had to change his necklace of human heads daily, with eighteen heads on the necklace, meaning he had to kill eighteen living people every day.

Both of these Giants had once caused bloodshed in the Azure Sky Sea and had been pursued together by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Azure Sky Sea, forcing them into hiding. Their presence here clearly meant that Lord Golden Spirit had colluded with Demon Path cultivators.

Lord Golden Spirit smiled faintly and said, "Lord Withered Wood, the poison of the Mountain Shade Demon Toad is colorless, tasteless, formless, and shadowless; how did you discover it?"
