I Have an Omen System-Chapter 97 - 95: Purple Mansion Star Order

"No wonder the Daqian Dynasty is always screaming for the Holy Sect’s blood."

The Sect orders its Demon Cultivators to ransack homes and exterminate clans at the drop of a hat. How could people not despise them to the core?

Qin Xuan, however, felt no resistance to the idea.

’Damn it, I *am* a Demon Cultivator.’

’If you piss me off, am I not supposed to wipe out your clan, grind your bones to dust, and scatter your ashes? What, should I let you live happily ever after, free and unfettered?’

"There’s no point in worrying about the karmic entanglement between the Divine Blood Refining True Demon Monarch and the Ten Thousand Forms of Parting Sorrow Demon Monarch right now. It won’t manifest until the Purple Mansion realm at the earliest."

"For now, I’ll just enjoy the free benefits."

Having figured this out, Qin Xuan’s mood improved considerably.

’Fucking hell, in this damned Demon Sect, it’s not even certain I’ll live long enough to open a Purple Mansion.’

Besides, the Holy Sect still has the Blood Pool Sword Tomb.

If I fail to get revenge, as long as my Lifebound Longsword returns to the Blood Pool, all future Demon Cultivators who inherit my Blood Talisman will charge forward, one after another, risking their lives until the enemy is dead.

This Demon Sect was simply too considerate.

...

One day, Qin Xuan was suddenly roused from his quiet cultivation.

He walked out of his Cave Mansion and saw over a thousand streams of crimson-gold light suddenly erupt from the Holy Sect’s Contribution Hall.

They were like dazzling, colorful stars.

One of the crimson-gold streams descended to Qin Xuan’s Cave Mansion, hovering in the air.

It transformed into a golden Communication Jade Token, spinning in place.

A majestic voice suddenly echoed from within the golden Jade Talisman.

[Qin Xuan of Ten Thousand Poison Peak’s Plague Poison Altar, Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, hear this order. In three months, you will proceed to the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea to participate in the Foundation Establishment Chaos War. Mission reward: Three hundred Merit Points.]

[Number: Zero-Zero-One-Seven-Eight!]

A flash of light, and a stream of information flooded his mind.

Qin Xuan looked down at the Jade Talisman in his palm, a wave of realization washing over him.

"In three months, the Foundation Establishment and Chaos Suppression Conference begins!"

And, for the first time ever, the Holy Sect had distributed the mission reward in advance.

A full three hundred Merit Points lay waiting in Qin Xuan’s Blood Loan Money Shop account.

"Wealth truly moves the heart. It seems the Holy Sect is taking this trial very seriously."

Qin Xuan finally had a clear understanding of the Foundation Establishment and Chaos Suppression Conference.

It was exactly as Wei Qingyi had described.

In name, it was for "chaos suppression," but in reality, it was a contest between the two great Divinity Transformation Sects, the Blood Demon Sword Sect and the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Each would send three hundred Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with cultivation levels between the Foundation Establishment Third Level and the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level, to compete for the three thousand six hundred and fifty Purple Mansion Star Orders scattered across the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea.

To divide the ownership of the Purple Mansion Fate Stars!

These three thousand six hundred and fifty Purple Mansion Star Orders symbolized the three thousand six hundred and fifty Purple Mansion Fate Stars hanging high in the celestial dome.

Their number corresponded to that of a full celestial circulation.

The only difference from previous times was...

...this time, in addition to the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Blood Demon Sword Sect...

...Nascent Soul and Golden Core influences like the Daqian Dynasty, the East Sea Demon Race, and the Southern Border Gu Race would also send their Earth Dao Foundation Establishment and Human Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

It could be called the largest Foundation Establishment grand event in nearly a thousand years.

’Fuck, why does my Holy Sect have to send cultivators from the Foundation Establishment Third to Sixth Level, while those Nascent Soul and Golden Core influences can send people from the Sixth Level, or even the Eighth Level...’

Qin Xuan felt it was completely unfair.

’Is it just because we’re Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment, just that tiny bit stronger than Human Dao and Earth Dao Foundation Establishment?’

’Looks like just having Foundation Establishment Sword Techniques won’t be enough. I need to make more preparations in these last three months...’

’Right, I still have a tool I can use for Talisman Making.’

"Xiaochenzi, get your ass out here!"

Qin Xuan roared, and the dark-gold Soul Banner in his palm trembled lightly.

Chen Lixuan’s wretched figure stumbled out and appeared before Qin Xuan.

"How did you end up like this?"

Qin Xuan was taken aback.

The Chen Lixuan before him was black and blue, his transparent soul-body tattered and torn, and several of his teeth had been knocked out.

Most importantly, for some reason, he was clutching his rear and keeping his legs pressed tightly together...

"Master, you finally remembered me! You have to stand up for me!"

Chen Lixuan no longer spouted any nonsense like ’I am a dignified Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator.’ He hugged Qin Xuan’s leg and began to wail, snot and tears streaming down his face.

After a brief explanation, Qin Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that ever since Qin Xuan had used him to manifest the Flame Demon via the Soul-devouring Banner, his Soul Light had dimmed, his strength had been severely damaged, and his cultivation had plummeted from the Foundation Establishment Third Level straight down to the First Level.

If that were all, it would have been one thing.

But not long after, the souls of Xuanzhen Ascendant, a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, and Zhang Jun and Fang Hai, two Foundation Establishment Fifth Level cultivators, were also sent into the Soul Banner!

"Master, you don’t know! Those three, they... they have a penchant for men, a fondness for handsome male companions! I... I..."

The moment Chen Lixuan thought of the humiliation he had suffered, he couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears again.

Qin Xuan: "..."

’Those three old bastards from Taiyi True View really have some wild tastes!’

Qin Xuan looked at Chen Lixuan’s refined, fair-skinned appearance, then thought of the white-bearded Xuanzhen Ascendant, and the two eight-foot-tall, burly figures of Zhang Jun and Fang Hai. He instantly broke out in goosebumps.

"Get away, get away, get away! Stay far away from me. You’re bad luck."

Qin Xuan kicked Chen Lixuan away.

Chen Lixuan’s face turned pale. "Master, please don’t send me back! I can do anything, I’ll do anything!"

Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow. "My cultivation is now higher than yours. What use are you to me anymore?"

Chen Lixuan gritted his teeth. "I... I can offer the Cold Nether Sect’s Sunflower Water Position Divine Technique, the Zhao Yang Xuanming Abyss, to you, Master!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

So the Profound Nether Abyss, a Yin Water Divine Technique, belonged to the Zhao Yang branch.

Qin Xuan chuckled. "This Seat cultivates the Wu Fire Position, while this technique belongs to the Sunflower Water Position."

"Are you trying to harm me?" Qin Xuan suddenly roared, raising his hand to shove Chen Lixuan back into the Soul Banner.

Chen Lixuan was so scared his heart nearly stopped.

"N-No! Don’t!"

"Master, I can also make Talismans! Treasure Talismans! I can make any Treasure Talisman of Tier Two or below! Just please don’t make me go back!"

Chen Lixuan was on the verge of a breakdown. He knelt on the Soul-devouring Banner and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy. He was clearly traumatized by the torment inflicted by those three old perverts from Taiyi True View.

"Oh?" Qin Xuan was clearly interested. "What kind of Treasure Talismans? Tell me about them."

Chen Lixuan felt as if he had been granted amnesty, like he had just grasped a life-saving straw. "Reporting to Master, a so-called Treasure Talisman is a simplified version of a Talisman Treasure. It possesses about thirty percent of a Talisman Treasure’s power..."

If a Talisman was a one-time-use Magic Talisman, then a Talisman Treasure was a Spirit Talisman that could be used multiple times.

They were created when a Purple Mansion Cultivator sealed a portion of a Magical Treasure’s power into a Spirit Talisman, which could then be used to kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a flick of a finger.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators also wanted to use Talisman Treasures, but their cultivation was insufficient.

So, by strengthening the talisman materials and nurturing them like a Magical Artifact, they innovated and created the multi-use Treasure Talisman!

The biggest difference between a Treasure Talisman and a Talisman Treasure...

...was that a Treasure Talisman required a cultivator to nurture it for a long time and had extremely high requirements for the talisman materials and nurturing techniques.

However, it had no restrictions on the cultivator’s own cultivation level.

The Three Pure Ones’ Protection Talisman and the Golden Needle Talisman that Chen Lixuan had used when he, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, tried to assassinate Qin Xuan were Tier Two Treasure Talismans that he himself had nurtured for several years.

"Not bad, not bad. Xiaochenzi, make a list. Write down whatever talisman materials and talisman blood you need. This Seat will send someone to fetch them."

Qin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, not including the nurturing time, how long would it take you to refine one Treasure Talisman?"

"Th... no, two months. If this little one works day and night, I can refine one Tier Two Treasure Talisman in two months," Chen Lixuan said, gritting his teeth and going all out.

To do so, he would have to spend at least sixteen hours a day refining talismans.

Qin Xuan shook his head. "Too slow. Make me one hundred Treasure Talismans within three months."

"Huh?"

Chen Lixuan’s eyes went wide as saucers. He was completely dumbfounded.

’One hundred? He couldn’t do that even if it killed him!’

Chen Lixuan’s face was a mask of misery. "Master, this little one’s abilities are limited... This... this..."

Qin Xuan looked at Chen Lixuan as if he were an idiot.

"This, my ass! And ’working day and night’? You’re all souls now. Did you think This Seat would let you rest? You’ll just work nonstop, day and night."

’No rest?’

’Monster! You absolute monster!’ Chen Lixuan wanted to cry but had no tears left.

However, Qin Xuan’s next words seemed to open the door to a whole new world for him.

Qin Xuan cursed, "Did This Seat tell you to do it alone? You stupid pig, don’t you know how to break down the steps and create an assembly line?"

"You can mobilize all of the nearly ten thousand mortal souls inside the Soul-devouring Banner. Inside the banner, they will automatically absorb the yin energy of the moonlight and won’t dissipate."

Qin Xuan pondered for a moment. "Hmm, you are also permitted to command the one thousand Qi Cultivation Cultivators from Taiyi True View.

Also, Xuanzhen Ascendant, Fang Hai, Zhang Jun... Oh, right, and Zheng Qi, who just entered the Soul Banner and hasn’t woken up yet."

"You can mobilize the souls of these four Foundation Establishment Cultivators. In a moment, This Seat will place a Soul-Exorcising Spell on them. From now on, they will obey your every command when it comes to talisman refining."

Break down the steps, an assembly line, working nonstop day and night...

The more Chen Lixuan listened, the brighter his eyes became.

’That’s right! I’m a soul, and they’re souls too!’

’If I don’t get to rest, then they don’t get to rest either!’

Chen Lixuan smacked his forehead, trembling with excitement. "Master is brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this method?!"

Best of all, he could command four Foundation Establishment Cultivators, all with higher cultivation than him, one of whom was even a Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The thought of being able to crack a whip at them, to enslave them like pigs and dogs, made Chen Lixuan unable to stop himself from excitedly clamping his legs together, his whole body trembling.

Seeing Chen Lixuan’s flushed face and ragged breathing, Qin Xuan’s own face darkened.

’What’s wrong with this guy? Did those bastards from Xuanzhen’s group mess him up permanently? After just a few sentences, why does he look like he’s having a mental orgasm?’

’Whatever. As long as he’s not broken, it’s fine. Souls aren’t really people anyway. It’s normal for them to be psychologically twisted.’

After getting the list of materials, Qin Xuan headed straight for the Sect’s Contribution Hall.
