Chapter 336: Chapter 274: Return to the Daoist School, Discussing Demonic Matters! (Double-Length Chapter)
The moment they spoke, they instantly understood each other’s thoughts.
"The Vast Sea Sect is suspected of demon possession, practicing the Demonic Seal, acting strange and rampant. A Mountain Daoist from the Three Mountains Alliance had some interactions with me years ago. Today, he specially came to seek assistance. I can’t grasp the situation fully, planning to report to the Dean first and let him decide, then inform all senior brothers."
"Senior Brother Zhou came here, is there something else happening?"
Master Yanming first explained why he sought to see the Dean, then asked Master Yanghua.
"I’ve heard a bit about the Vast Sea Sect before, but I didn’t expect them to make such a big scene, a demon possession of the entire sect?"
Master Yanghua was somewhat surprised, then sighed heavily, his expression turning serious:
"Within Yanghua Country, a Loose Cultivator is undergoing tribulation, achieving the Golden Core!"
"However, on the first day of achieving the Golden Core, he massacred commoners, annihilating five cities in one day, with extremely strange methods!"
"Could it be someone practicing Demon Techniques, forming a core after tribulation?"
"Such a person can also form a core?"
Master Yanming was shocked, his eyes flickering, pondering something unknown.
Since the battle for True Inheritance at the Daoist School, decades have passed. Over these decades, only Gu Yuan progressed boldly and directly reached the Golden Core Realm, enjoying a thousand-year lifespan.
The others, although possessing extraordinary talent, have not been confident, lingering until today.
More than ten years ago, two True Inheritors, unable to wait, risked undergoing tribulation, ultimately dying amid the thunder tribulation, turning to ash.
The thunder tribulation was fierce, no longer as before. Without supreme tribulation means, it’s nearly nine out of ten deaths.
Yet now, even Loose Cultivators can form a core?
Looking at his methods, seems like he’s a thief who stole Demonic Cultivation Techniques?
The Demonic Techniques, although allowing rapid progress, ultimately lack grandeur. All methods are constrained by celestial tribulation. The success rate of breaking through to Golden Core is even harder than for Profound Sect Cultivators, how could they form a Golden Core?
Suddenly, Master Yanming seemed to recall something, surprisingly asked: "Yanghua Country? Isn’t that where your family’s located?"
Master Yanghua’s real surname is Zhou, but he’s not from the Zhou family, one of the five major families of the Daoist School. His family is actually in Yanghua Country.
Yanghua Country used to be called Little Yang Country, it was renamed after Master Yanghua, changing dynasties.
All of Master Yanghua’s close relatives died long ago, he himself had no descendants, thought he had severed worldly ties.
But now, it seems bloodline ties are still hard to cut off.
Master Yanghua shook his head with a bitter smile: "Worldly ties are ended, but ultimately there’s still some incense connections. If it’s a minor issue, I wouldn’t care, but now, there’s a newly promoted Demonic Golden Core, I have to be vigilant."
The Demonic Seal spreads quickly, but there are only a few cultivators in the world.
"Now mostly the junior cultivators, influenced by the allure of the Demonic Seal’s power and rapid progress, have gone astray."
"But the new Demonic Golden Core poses some threat now."
"If the Demonic Dao can rapidly form a Golden Core and pass celestial tribulation, what importance is there left for the Profound Sect?"
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"That’s why he came hurriedly, intending to report to the Dean."
"Why not go together?"
Master Yanming invited.
"Naturally!"
Master Yanghua nodded.
Then the two walked side by side, within a few breaths, they passed Zhengyang Hall and arrived at the entrance to the Cyan Heaven Secret Realm.
The two activated their tokens, prepared to enter the Secret Realm to meet Master Yunyang.
But the token flickered slightly, yet the Secret Realm entrance did not appear.
The two exchanged glances, slightly surprised.
At this moment, a Cyan Cloud flew out from the Secret Realm, transforming into the appearance of a child with red lips and white teeth.
"Honorable masters, the lord has important business to attend to, left the Daoist School recently, and isn’t in the Cyan Heaven Secret Realm. Please return!"
The child ceremoniously bowed to the two and said.
"The Dean isn’t here?"
The two were instantly surprised, eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"May I ask, junior brother, where has the Dean gone, when will he return?"
Master Yanghua reverently asked the Daoist child.
The Daoist child before their eyes was transformed from Little Innate Cloud Essence, naturally nurtured, requiring no cultivation, just time to mature, naturally advancing to the Tier Three Great Demon Realm without celestial tribulation.
Although currently only at the Earth Demon Realm, as long as he doesn’t die, achieving the Great Demon is inevitable, hence Master Yanghua respectfully called him junior brother.
"I don’t know this either, could be a few days, or several years,"
"But before leaving, the lord left a message, stating the Daoist School matters can be decided by the senior brothers, no need to worry too much."
The Daoist child again bowed, repeating Master Yunyang’s instructions.
"With the Dean absent, even Senior Brother Tiandou unable to return for now, how should we discuss this matter?"
Master Yanghua sighed bitterly.
Originally, there were only ten Golden Core cultivators in the Daoist School, one traveled far and wide, hasn’t returned for years, one suppresses the South Sea Villa.
Opened trade routes, once took away three strongest warriors.
The East Mountain Realm is vast, opening trade routes isn’t a day’s work, reportedly has laid a promising foundation, thus cannot return temporarily.
Master Xuan Guang, while in seclusion, seems to be at a critical moment of refining the Swaying Golden Lotus.
As for the newly promoted Golden Core cultivator, Gu Yuan, no one knows where he has gone, hasn’t been seen for twenty years.
Now in the Daoist School, only Master of Mount Jing from the Feng Family, Master Yanming, and himself remain as Golden Core cultivators.
With turbulent situations arising one after another, feel quite inadequate.
The Vast Sea Sect seems to be aware of this, hence their arrogance.
"Let’s first seek Junior Brother Feng, discuss a bit more!"
