Cultivation: Being Immortal

Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmW

The city you mentioned is Xuanmiao City.

In the cultivation world, there are distinct levels. In any big city, there will be an area for the wealthy, also known as the high-level area. The wealth in the cultivation world is closely tied to one’s strength.

The wealthy area of Xuanmiao City is the East District. The buildings here are no longer messy and dim, but instead are luxurious. Only the rich and influential people can come and go here.

However, the East District is now clouded with worries. There have been a large number of disappearances of people with golden cores and Nascent Souls. This has caused their family members to lose their most important source of wealth. Many people realize that they can’t survive here anymore and have already started moving away, causing the entire East District to become desolate.

"Husband, do we really have to go?"

Inside a mansion in the East District, a woman asked her husband.

"Let’s go, Xuanmiao City can no longer stay. One after another, people are having accidents, things are abnormal, it will definitely become dangerous and strange. If we don’t leave, we will all suffer here."

"But our families have been here for generations. What about our relatives and friends?"

"If we can’t even protect ourselves, why should we worry about others? I have strong spiritual power, I can go anywhere, and it’s enough to keep you safe. I can’t control what happens to others. If you want to stay, then stay. I will take our children and leave."

The man replied. Normally there is no danger, so he is happy to take care of his relatives and friends. But now he can’t even protect himself, so why should he worry about others? It’s better to run away first. After all, he has strong skills and can survive anywhere, even if the income is lower.

"Dad, everything is taken care of."

As they were talking, a young man walked in and said that he had sold most of their belongings.

"Well done. Let’s wait a few more days and leave together. I have contacted other Taoist friends."

The man nodded. He wasn’t the only one who wanted to leave. Others were also worried, so as soon as someone suggested it, they immediately responded and left in groups.

"Yes, Dad. What should we do with the house here?"

"Sold"

"This is our ancestral house"

"What does it matter, we no longer live here, it’s useless to keep it"

"But…"

The young man hesitated, they were leaving, not taking everyone with them. Some elderly and weak would have to stay behind. What would happen to those people if the house was sold? But he didn’t dare say it. He knew that even if the house was kept, those who were weak and old wouldn’t be safe. They would only become abandoned souls. 𝙧

"Greetings, Elder"

In the sky above Xuanmiao City, Zhou Huaiying bowed to the Tao Achieving cultivator of Tianxuan Sect.

"No need for excessive politeness. Has the Eastern City become so desolate?"

"Eight or nine out of ten"

Zhou Huaiying said that the population of the Eastern District has decreased by seventy to eighty percent. Some of them died, unable to survive, while others ran away voluntarily. Tianxuan Sect tried to persuade them, but could not convince them at all.

"Are the followers the same?"

"All the same. This accident is extremely terrible. According to statistics, in the past year, more than a hundred people with golden cores have fallen in Xuanmiao City, and there were over ten Nascent Souls. It is several tens of times more than previous years. Even if this matter is resolved now, it will take more than a hundred years to recover."

Zhou Huaiying said that so many golden cores and Nascent Souls were accumulated in Xuanmiao City over a long period of time. It was the guarantee of the prosperity of Xuanmiao City. But it only took less than a year to lose all of it, and now more people have run away. The whole Xuanmiao City is already half ruined.

"Half of Tianxuan Sect’s income comes from Xuanmiao City. Xuanmiao City cannot be abandoned."

"That’s why we asked the Ancestor to take action. Several senior brothers have been investigating for half a year, but there is no news at all."

"In the next step, you must find some traces of the Blood Demon Ancestor, even if it is someone he killed. I will go to the Central Province and borrow a treasure from Danxia Sect. We will definitely be able to catch the Blood Demon Ancestor."

"Is the Ancestor going to borrow the Tongtian Mirror from Danxia Sect?"

"Um, me and Tao Achieving Ancestor from Danxia Sect have a connection. He owes me a favor, so with a little cost, I can borrow this treasure."

"If we have the Tongtian Mirror, the probability of finding the Blood Demon Ancestor will be greater."

Zhou Huaiying nodded. The Tongtian Mirror is a special treasure. It doesn’t have any attacking or defending abilities, but it can search for all things. As long as there is a certain aura, even if it’s thousands of miles away, it can appear in the mirror. There’s no escape from it.

Xuanmiao City, East District

In a luxurious building, several young women are serving a middle-aged man. It’s much more extravagant and glamorous than Zhongmiao Building.

The reality is the same. The most luxurious and decadent lifestyle in any big city is not in a place like Zhongmiao Building, but in the high-ranking mansions where people enjoy themselves behind closed doors. It’s beyond the imagination of those poor people.

"Everyone, please leave."

Suddenly, the middle-aged man’s expression changed. He waved his hand and made dozens of singing maidens leave. When there was no one in the room, a faint figure quietly appeared.

"Why are you free to come to me today, are you envious of my life?"

"If you don’t leave soon, you’re going to die."

"Haha, just those useless people?"

"Tao Achieving Ancestor is about to make a move."

"Even if they find me, they still have to catch me."

"Although the Art of Blood Escape is powerful, it is not all-powerful. There are many ways to counter your escape technique. The Tianxuan Sect’s Tao Achieving cultivator has set off for the Central State’s Danxia Sect to borrow the Tongtian Mirror. I don’t need to explain the usefulness of the Tongtian Mirror, do I?"

"Tongtian Mirror"

When the middle-aged man heard these words, his face changed. The Tongtian Mirror is famous, and he had definitely heard of it. This treasure is absolutely a weapon that restrains him.

"Hurry, let’s go."

"Can we snatch the Tongtian Mirror?"

"If you can defeat Tao Achieving, you can try."

"Aren’t you supposed to cooperate?"

"You’re joking. If Tao Achieving Ancestor was so easy to kill, how could you stand a chance?"

"Really not possible?"

"If you want to die, go ahead by yourself, don’t involve me."

"Don’t forget, we’re together now, Zhou Huaiying."

The middle-aged man instantly revealed the identity of the person in front of him. It was Zhou Huaiying from the Tianxuan Sect, but it was just his clone that had arrived.

"Haha, who would believe that if we said it?"

"These past few months, you have killed a lot of cultivators in Xuanmiao City, haven’t you?"

"Anyway, if you don’t want to die, then just leave."

Zhou Huaiying was furious. He had indeed been betrayed by the Blood Demon Ancestor.

At first, when the Blood Demon Ancestor gave him the Blood Demon Manual, he didn’t pay much attention. But as he studied the manual, he became fascinated by the art.

The technique that the Blood Demon Ancestor gave him was perfect, surpassing all other techniques in the world. Although Zhou Huaiying knew that the Blood Demon Ancestor hadn’t taught him everything and had kept many things secret, he was still tempted.

In reality, his cultivation hadn’t progressed for a long time. He had spent too much time wandering in the Divine Kingdom. Void Achieving had a lifespan of only five thousand years, and he had wasted over a thousand years in the Divine Kingdom. Given his current situation, he had no chance of achieving Tao in this lifetime.

Driven by greed, Zhou Huaiying couldn’t help but cultivate the Blood Demon Manual. During the process of the Blood Demon Ancestor attacking and killing cultivators in Xuanmiao City, Zhou Huaiying also took action and provided shelter for the Blood Demon Ancestor, otherwise, the Blood Demon Ancestor would have been discovered long ago.

"Fine, don’t be angry. I’ll just leave. There’s not much blood to feed on in Xuanmiao City anyway. I’ll find another city."

"Go away quickly!"

"Zhou Huaiying, it’s not easy to find fresh blood to feed on. I suggest we work together and eliminate your Tao Achieving family. We can then use their blood to perform a blood ritual for the entire Tianxuan Sect. As Tao Achieving, there won’t be anywhere in the world we can’t go. Without family members or sect burdens, no one will dare to oppose us."

"Crazy person."

"To survive, one must be a little crazy. Zhou Huaiying, let me tell you the first side effect of the Blood Demon Manual. It’s an unquenchable thirst for power and blood. Once you get a taste, you can never be free from it. You will crave power more and more, to the point of losing your sanity. Don’t think you can control it, no one can. Unless you become an immortal, that is. Otherwise, hehe."

"I am not you."

"Haha, I admire your confidence, but I suggest you start planning early. Forget about family and children, sacrifice them in the blood ritual. Then you won’t hesitate anymore…"

"Bang."

Zhou Huaiying’s spectral figure shattered instantly. He no longer wanted to listen to these deceiving words. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist them if he kept listening.

"Haha…"

This reaction only made the Blood Demon Ancestor laugh louder. He knew that Zhou Huaiying had fallen for his tricks. Once on his treacherous ship, Zhou Huaiying would never be able to get off.
