Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

"No, it won't work! The God Transformation cultivators are too powerful! Moreover, this realm has already been targeted by the Demon Realm. That pure Demonic Qi is pouring into our world through the altars everywhere in great volume! Merely destroying the altars in the Great Qian Empire is not enough. The Hanlong Empire, the Great Wei Empire, and other places will also advance their rituals."

"Unless the righteous God Transformation cultivators of the Great Chu Empire can unite and pay a heavy price to attack and annihilate the Myriad Changes Demon Sect, the Demon Path will grow stronger by the day. Eventually, the righteous path will diminish while the demonic tide rises, until it becomes irreversible!"

Zhao Yu's eyes flickered with solemnity as he sighed deeply.

Zhao Yu had already learned the truth from the memories of Fei Luo, the True Monarch.

The founder of the Myriad Changes Demon Sect, the Myriad Changes Demon Monarch, had ascended as a God Transformation ancestor by receiving the legacy from the Demon Realm and support from the cultivators of the Demon Realm, managing to rise rapidly despite suppression from the righteous path and eventually dominating as a God Transformation old ancestor.

After ascending to the God Transformation realm, the Myriad Changes Demon Monarch colluded with the Demon Realm to get more benefits. He opened the great gates between the two realms using a method provided by the Demon Realm, allowing the Demonic Qi to reverse flood into this realm.

Once the Demonic Qi floods in massively, it would be much easier for Demon Path cultivators to cultivate to the God Transformation Realm. Thus, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Myriad Changes Demon Sect fully supported the Myriad Changes Demon Monarch.

Fei Luo, the True Monarch, was also a peerless genius with a Heavenly Spirit Root, but without the reverse flooding of Demonic Qi from the Demon Realm, he wouldn't even have a ten percent chance of ascending to the God Transformation Realm.

The Carefree True Monarch said, "Advancing to the God Transformation is incredibly challenging. Even with the influx of Demonic Qi, in the short term, Demon Path cultivators still may not give birth to many God Transformation ancestors! As long as the God Transformation ancestors of the Great Chu Empire make a move, they can certainly slaughter all those Demon Path cultivators."

Zhao Yu said, "The reverse flooding of the Demonic Qi is just the first step. Next, they intend to open the grand gates of the Demon Realm! Once the gates are opened, the ancient demons of the God Transformation level from the Demon Realm will descend upon this world! How many God Transformation cultivators does the Great Chu Empire have? And how many God Transformation ancient demons are there in the Demon Realm?"

The Carefree True Monarch turned pale immediately, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes.

Only the cultivators who have completed the God Transformation in various realms may ascend to the Spirit Realm or the Demon Realm. In the Demon Realm, God Transformation cultivators are merely of the middle tier. Although they're not as common as cattle, they are not rare either.

The united God Transformation cultivators of the Great Chu Empire don't even number ten. How could they withstand the influx of ancient demons from the Demon Realm?

However, the Demon Path cultivators born in this realm treat the commoners of the Great Qian Empire viciously and inhumanely. Those ancient demons pouring out from the Demon Realm will only treat the beings of this realm even more cruelly.

Zhao Yu said slowly, "To resolve this matter, we can only look to the Great Chu Empire. We are powerless to do anything!"

The Carefree True Monarch gave a bitter smile, raised his cup, and said, "Let's drink!"

The next day, Zhao Yu took his leave and transformed into a beam of Escape Light, flying towards the Great Chu Empire.

To the south of the Great Qian Empire lay the Hanlong Empire, and even further south of that was the Great Wei Empire. South of the Great Wei Empire is where one would find the Great Chu Empire.

When Zhao Yu flew over the Hanlong Empire, he saw that the Hanlong Empire had built countless altars, ready to send the commoners to the altars and attempt to open the gates to the Demon Realm as soon as the ritual began.

Zhao Yu knew that the Myriad Changes Demon Sect had been laying out its plans in this realm for hundreds of years. The only way to truly break this situation was to destroy the main altar located in the Myriad Changes Demon Sect.

It was already too late to destroy the altars built by the Hanlong Empire and other Demon Path forces. If they had been destroyed before those Demon Path cultivators launched their ritual, it would have been impossible to initiate it. But once it had begun, there was only one way left—destroy the main altar.

Of course, destroying those altars could also delay the process of the ritual, postponing the opening of the gate to the Demon Realm, but the effect would be minor, at most delaying it by one or two months.

Passing through the Hanlong Empire was the Demon Path nation of the Great Wei Empire, whose territories were more than ten times larger than those of the Hanlong Empire. Within the Great Wei Empire, all the citizens had numb expressions on their faces, being driven like ants towards the altars, leaving their homes empty and desolate.

Mortals are also a kind of resource, after all, all cultivators come from mortals. In the past, the Great Wei Empire treated its mortals fairly well, but in order to open the gates to the Demon Realm, they couldn't care less about them any longer.

After Zhao Yu arrived at the Great Wei Empire, he used a Concealment Technique to briefly observe his surroundings, and saw countless human tragedies, then silently departed.

The Great Wei Empire was, after all, the stronghold of the Myriad Changes Demon Sect, which possesses God Transformation Realm experts. Eight or nine out of ten times, the Demon Sovereign of the Myriad Changes owns a Superior Spiritual Treasure, and perhaps even a Supreme Spiritual Treasure. Zhao Yu didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

He passed through the Great Wei Empire and then arrived at the Great Chu Empire.

The Great Chu Empire is the center of this realm, a true Cultivation Holy Land, within which there are three sects, one gate, two factions, and one tower making up seven God Transformation Grand Sects.

These three sects are respectively the Tianyang Sect, Li Mountain Sect, and Xingyang Sect, one gate is the Li Mountain Gate, the two factions are the Xinghe Sword Sect and Chongxi Sect, and the one tower is the Hundred Flowers Tower.

The territory of the Great Chu Empire is dozens of times larger than that of the Great Wei Empire, with the seven God Transformation Grand Sects reigning supreme above all.

The emperor of the Great Wei Empire is also decided after discussions among the seven God Transformation Grand Sects, and if the royal family doesn't perform well, the sects wouldn't mind replacing them.

Within the Great Chu Empire, there are innumerable Loose Cultivators as well as various large and small sects, but basically, those small and medium sects are vassals of the seven God Transformation Grand Sects. Cultivators that the Grand Sects dismiss as unworthy are the ones who end up in those smaller sects.

The Great Wei Empire seemed like a human purgatory, yet the Great Chu Empire was flourishing and prosperous.

Zhao Yu directly flew to a Market and landed, concealing his Mana aura to that of the Golden Core Stage before heading towards the Market.

As soon as Zhao Yu stepped into the Market, a mirror within it shot out a beam of light directly onto him.

The hint of Nascent Soul Level Mana within Zhao Yu instantly erupted, and with a thought, he didn't suppress his Nascent Soul Level Mana, allowing his Nascent Soul Ninth Layer Mana aura to spread out.

"A Nascent Soul Cultivator!!"

"A Nascent Soul Cultivator has descended upon our small Spiritual Spring Market!"

"..." Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

The entire small Spiritual Spring Market was instantly agitated, with a hint of fear appearing in the eyes of many cultivators.

The Spiritual Spring Market was merely a very inconspicuous small market within the Great Chu Empire, and the one in charge of the Market only possessed a Golden Core Stage Cultivation Level. There was truly nothing here that could attract a Nascent Soul Expert.

A streak of Escape Light flew out from the Spiritual Spring Market, and a Golden Core First Layer cultivator wearing a gray Taoist robe with a long beard and handsome features flew out bowing respectfully and said, "The manager of the Spiritual Spring Market, a disciple of the Red Dragon Tower, Chang Feng greets the senior. May I ask how the senior is addressed?"

Zhao Yu said, "This one goes by the name Stone Taoist."

Chang Feng respectfully asked, "May I know what brings the senior to grace us with your presence?"

Zhao Yu answered, "I have been in arduous Cultivation for many years, and as soon as I emerged, I saw Demon Path cultivators running rampant over the world, slaughtering the common folk. I have come to the Great Chu Empire to seek information, wishing to understand why the world has become like this."
