Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 236 - 154: Cultivation Civilization Society

In these circumstances, Demon Cultivators are fundamentally rejected on a moral level by the majority.

Any country, any faction, if it wants to maintain its own stable growth, must inevitably form a moral culture opposed to Demon Cultivators.

Under such conditions, as long as the order and morals don't completely collapse, Demon Cultivators will always remain a small part of the Immortal Cultivation Society.

Maybe impossible to eradicate, but always just rats in the gutter—show their heads, and death follows.

So, right now, the several senior and junior brothers here, including Cultivator Shen Yu, were actually not too worried about these Demon Cultivators. On the contrary, when they heard that the threat Zhenli Immortal Dynasty faced was Demon Cultivators, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because these Demon Cultivators had already come out into the open.

As long as the news spreads, they are bound to be wiped out in a short time.

Then, Junior Sister would be sent over to become the Empress.

And though she would lose a sizable portion of benefits and power because of the weakening, Zhenli Immortal Dynasty would still exist in name.

This was, in fact, what Cultivator Shen Yu was most grateful for after crossing over to this Immortal Cultivation World.

—It has a brutal side, but overall still maintains a positive image.

However, Cultivator Shen Yu still had a faint sense of unease.

Right now he didn't bother hiding it and asked directly, "Why would these Demon Cultivators dare to do such a thing?"

The rest of the senior and junior brothers exchanged glances.

Indeed, in their past understanding, Demon Cultivators were mostly about causing destruction everywhere.

Today they'd ambush this Cultivator, tomorrow destroy that city, and then quickly flee.

Even if they used evil techniques to replace someone, it was only for the sake of hiding.

Once exposed, they'd flee even faster.

Historically, there was even an entire Junior Immortal Sect completely replaced by Demon Cultivators, disguised as orthodox on the outside.

But even so, when discovered, they still scattered and escaped at the first moment.

Clearly, replacing the Imperial bloodline of an Immortal Dynasty carries an extremely high risk of exposure.

If even a Junior Immortal Sect is like this, let alone Zhenli Immortal Dynasty?

Running a country isn't so simple.

"This really is pretty odd." Second Senior Brother Xin Feng frowned and suddenly turned and said, "How about I go down the mountain to gather some intel? See what changes there are in Zhenli Immortal Dynasty lately, and whether the royal family knows they've been compromised."

This was, without a doubt, extremely risky.

After all, if someone in Demon Cultivators could replace an Emperor who is a True Master, then there must be True Masters among them.

That said, Xin Feng didn't seem the least afraid.

After Qing Yue Junior Sister joined, they had already been drawn into this anyway—there was no way to just sit back and do nothing.

Of course, most crucial of all was Cultivator Shen Yu.

In their temple now, there were two True Masters!

And Shen Yu's origins were anything but ordinary, which gave them immense confidence.

"We shouldn't act rashly on this," Yao Xue countered, "Perhaps Master has another plan, it's best if we..."

"Master's plan is to go searching for Mingyun Immortal Sect." Cultivator Shen Yu chimed in, raising his hand, a Dharma Seal glimmering in his palm. "I just checked, and actually, he's in favor of me going to investigate. He spotted it in a hurry and immediately fled with Qing Yue Junior Sister—didn't probe any deeper."

Medicine Snow Fairy pressed her lips together.

She had a Dharma Seal too, but at most it could relay a sentence or two, clearly nowhere near Cultivator Shen Yu's ability to communicate over long distances.

Obviously, although Junior Brother was still the same Junior Brother, as Senior Sister, she'd have to listen to him from now on.

But only for a moment, and then she smiled lightly: "Let's go with what Junior Brother says. These Demon Cultivators are indeed acting strangely."

"Senior Sister, Senior Brother, Junior Sister—just wait for me here in the temple." After a brief moment's thought, Shen Yu suddenly lifted his hand and directly produced a device floating in mid-air. "With this, you can contact me instantly. Just speak to it; no matter where I am, I can return here in an instant."

"It doesn't run on Spiritual Power." The senior and junior siblings all stared in amazement at this weird floating contraption.

In reality, this is a Quantum Domain relay station.

After industrial production capacity leapt forward, interstellar world Shen Yu put lots of portable devices in the Association.

Every Shen Yu can just grab one directly.

Some even include special weapons.

But the largest number are detection devices, and relay stations like this.

Interstellar Civilization can even do low-latency communication across countless light-years; their communication tech is miles ahead of ordinary Extraordinary Power.

That way, Cultivator Shen Yu could leave without any worries.

But what he was actually thinking of right now was Gray Mist!

"To Demon Cultivators, mortal flesh and soul is a huge tonic." Cultivator Shen Yu didn't believe these sneaky Demon Cultivators snatching control of a powerful Immortal Dynasty just wanted to develop it properly.

For Demon Cultivators, all things of the world pale in comparison to their own cultivation.

Most of them have gone completely mad, obsessed with Longevity.

This means, if you managed to wipe out these Demon Cultivators, you'd have a chance to get some Gray Mist!

And Cultivator Shen Yu had to move even faster.

If Mingyun Immortal Sect or other Orthodox Immortal Sects caught wind, they'd definitely join forces and attack. By then, no matter how many people he saved, it'd have nothing to do with him.

"The Great Catastrophe's situation isn't clear yet, so let's start with these Demon Cultivators' little disasters—any Gray Mist is worth grabbing." Although Shen Yu had only just entered Gray Mist Space and learned about its existence and the Association, inside, he already craved Gray Mist just as the other Shen Yus do.

Sure, in special cases he could request loans from the Association, and he'd even already been granted a newbie benefit of no-interest credit.

But how could borrowed money ever compare to having cash of your own?

Deep down, he still preferred the path of Cultivation over Magic, and even felt that his current "True Master" realm was pretty hollow.

"Demon Cultivator, Demon Cultivator!" Shen Yu shot across the sky, and at the Divine Level of flight speed, it took almost no time at all to reach Zhenli Immortal Dynasty's capital.

On the way, he took the chance to familiarize himself more systematically with the magic he currently wielded.

Have to admit, the higher-quality ones are mostly large-scale spells.

Mighty Power they might have, but require more time to prepare.

Or they're brutally lethal, but limited to single-target damage.

"Honestly, Magic is nowhere near as practical as Cultivation." Shen Yu held more firmly to his views.

Still, Cultivation is better—to be an Immortal, not a Magic God!

At this moment, he cast a concealment spell, hiding his form to size up the capital city.

It was Shen Yu's first time in Zhenli Immortal Dynasty's capital. As a Qi Refining Cultivator before, it was simply too far out of reach.

Now, though, he could finally see this world's "civilized society" with his own eyes.

He had to admit, just setting foot here, Shen Yu was awestruck by the city's scale. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The entire city was built atop endless stretches of mountain ranges.

Several central peaks had been forcibly sliced flat by immense mana, then the valleys filled in, and, right in the mountains, mankind had hammered out massive tracts of level ground.

And the buildings within the capital were all towering and grand.

The Imperial Palace in the center was especially striking.

The entire palace stood atop a Jade Mountain made from thousands of stacked White Jade Steps.

Anyone in the city only had to look up to see that Jade Mountain at the very heart.

It must be at least a kilometer high!

What's more, plenty of city buildings soar a hundred meters, even two, three hundred meters into the sky.

Most of these buildings are hewn from solid huge blocks of stone, construction fortified by Techniques.

Many are seamless, so it looks as if mighty rooms, pillars, and windows are carved straight out of colossal, sturdy slabs of stone.

Add to that the Flying Shuttles flitting between buildings, and carriages hauled by flying Demon Beasts.

In short—a land unlike any technological civilization, yet no less prosperous!
