Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 268 - 224: The Number One Fiend of Foundation Establishment Realm!
Su Yuan's thought moved, and the golden apple fell from the treetop, smashing onto the black altar.
The roots of the Senluo Spirit Root extended a tendril from the altar, piercing into the golden apple, absorbing all its power.
After completing this task, Su Yuan's seclusion was officially over.
But at this moment, a sudden "ding dong" sounded in his ear.
Oh? Is the dog system giving me a new mission?
[Congratulations to the host for flawlessly breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!]
[With your Divine Spirit Root Foundation Establishment, you could have condensed a golden Divine Fruit, but you willingly gave it up.]
[Because you understand that your accumulation in the Demon Dao is not deep enough. The fruit you form now is just a measly Righteous Divine Fruit, which will severely impact your development in the Demon Dao.]
[You need more accumulation in the Demon Dao, cutting down one Righteous Fruit after another!]
[Only by becoming the top demon at the Foundation Establishment stage and fusing all benevolent fruits' power can you condense a peerless evil fruit!]
[The evil fruit will cultivate a world-transcending Demonic Divine Technique with unique properties, also serving as your protective Dao technique when hitting the Golden Core Realm!]
Su Yuan: "??? "
No way, could there be a Righteous Divine Technique in that golden apple just now?
I've been labeled a demon just because I use various demon techniques daily. If I had eaten that golden apple earlier, wouldn't my reputation improve a bit?
Can the golden apple that fell on the ground still be picked up and eaten?
But clearly, it's too late now.
[Main mission "Evil Fruit" updated!]
[Mission One: The first demon of Foundation Establishment (ongoing)]
[Demons in the world are as numerous as fish crossing the river; many young demons will only make their mark in the cultivation realm after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, destroying cities and committing countless evil acts! Compared to all the Foundation Establishment demon talents, you're only above average, not the first!]
[Please defeat the top five ranked Foundation Establishment demon talents in the world to become the Demon of Demons!]
[Mission progress: Defeat demon talents (0/4)]
[Mission reward: Level up a demon technique (choice) *4]
[Note: Each time you defeat a target, you can immediately claim a quarter of the mission reward.]
Directly four Demon Technique Upgrade Cards, and they can be claimed separately?
This time, the dog system is quite generous!
But didn't it say to defeat the top five ranked Foundation Establishment demon talents? Why only four?
Does this violate the rule that the Four Heavenly Kings actually have five members…
Wait, am I one of the top five Foundation Establishment demon talents myself?
Then it's fine.
[Mission Two: Flower of Extreme Evil (ongoing)]
[To bear the ultimate evil fruit, you must not only keep strengthening but also irrigate the Dao Foundation and Spiritual Root with a huge amount of Demonic Qi, the main source of which is naturally your Demon Sect!]
[But the quality of the demonic energy from ordinary followers is too general; it's okay for cultivation, but it's not suitable for nurturing the ultimate evil fruit.]
[Therefore, you decide to fully cultivate the talents within the Primordial Sect and continuously absorb top-notch demon talents from outside. Their demonic energy will be the sweet nectar for the Flower of Extreme Evil!]
[Mission progress: King's Assistant Demon (0/9)]
[Note: Specific criteria for the King's Assistant Demon can be found in the Sect Physique System.]
[Mission reward: Abyssal Magic Vein elevated to full level]
Hmph, this task from the dog system is obviously very suggestive.
Absorbing top-notch demon talents from outside is clearly suggesting I defeat the top five demonic prodigies of the world and incorporate them into the Demon Sect simultaneously.
Shrimp must have pig-hearted intentions! You're a bit naughty!
But I like it.
Moreover, the reward for this task is quite appealing!
According to the system's standards, at best, the Abyssal Magic Vein is a purple talent, maybe not even that.
Directly elevating it to full level, isn't that equivalent to directly ascending to Colorful Level?
A blue Abyssal Magic Vein is already fierce; won't the Colorful Level take off?
Initially, Su Yuan wanted to refuse the idea of eating any evil fruit.
But what the dog system offered was just too tempting.
Su Yuan, oh Su Yuan, at this point, stop trying to whitewash yourself.
Geniuses are always lonely and misunderstood.
Even though others say you're a demon, and you indeed resemble one, as long as your heart remains righteous, that's all that matters.
It's just an evil fruit; eating it is fine.
With more debts, you don't worry; with more lice, you're not itchy.
After reconciling with himself, Su Yuan calmly accepted these two missions.
He then opened the Sect System to check how far the Primordial Sect's cadres were from becoming King's Assistant Demons.
[Chen Nuoyi: Vice Sect Leader of the Primordial Sect]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[Special abilities: Purple Gold Dragon Qi (Golden), Incomplete Dragon King Bloodline (Golden), Dragon's Stomach (Golden), Cloud Following Dragon (Purple), Five Dragons Celestial Heart Sword (Golden)]
[King's Assistant Demon Index: 7690/10000]
[Contribution Points: 43799]
The Five Dragons Celestial Heart Sword was the divine technique Chen Nuoyi awakened after reaching Foundation Establishment, a Sword Dao divine technique fused with the Dragon King Bloodline.
As for the Cloud Following Dragon, it was also acquired through continuous enhancement of the Dragon's Stomach.
With this ability, she can accelerate her flight speed through cloud riding and greatly reduce the energy consumption during flight.
Chen Nuoyi's King's Assistant Demon Index, over seven thousand, is already the highest among Primordial Sect's cadres.
Next is Chu Lanxi, but the King's Assistant Demon Index is only just over three thousand.
To gather nine King's Assistant Demons and absorb their Demonic Qi to condense the evil fruit is a long and arduous task!
Wait a minute…
Su Yuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at Taibai Phecda, eagerly asking:
"Teacher Taibai, would you like to join the Primordial Sect?"
"You don't need to do anything, just be an honorary Supreme Elder."
Taibai Phecda: "..."
Su Yuan's sudden proposal made him feel a sense of unease for no reason.
"You're not going to use my name to trick people with false advertising, are you?"
"How... how could that be?"
Su Yuan's eyes wandered.
Fortunately, Taibai Phecda still cared for his disciple and sighed:
"I can't join the Primordial Sect, and this is for your own good."
"After all, you should know what happened to the Sword Sects I endorsed before."
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Yuan shuddered.
He almost forgot that Teacher Taibai had a jinx-like ability where the sect he endorsed would end up annihilated.
No, he absolutely must not let him join the Primordial Sect!
At this moment, Taibai Phecda changed the subject again:
"Speaking of which, Yuxi has asked me several times for a position in the Primordial Sect."
"Just give her an Honored Guest Elder position. That way, I'll have something to report back to her."
Su Yuan thought for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
As the guardian of Taibai Yuxi, any words from Taibai Phecda were naturally effective.
After the two reached an agreement, the sect system immediately refreshed, displaying Taibai Yuxi's name.
[Taibai Yuxi: Honored Guest Elder]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[Special Abilities: Demon-slaying Eye (Golden) White Emperor Immortal Body (Colorful)]
[King's Aid Demon Index: 10266/10000]
[Contribution Points: 3899]
Two high-level talents, one golden and one colorful, with a King's Aid Demon Index exceeding ten thousand.
Even though Su Yuan had anticipated that Taibai Yuxi's talent board would be extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be this ridiculous.
So ridiculous that Taibai Yuxi didn't seem like the offspring of a Master Golden Core but rather the descendant of a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
However, upon careful consideration, everything seemed traceable.
The Demon-slaying Eye was clearly Taibai Yuxi's ability to easily see through all demonic energy.
When he first saw Taibai Yuxi, she appeared as a white-haired lolita with no signs of cultivation, yet could instantly unleash power nearly capable of annihilating Su Yuan, clearly owing to the White Emperor Immortal Body.
Moreover, Taibai Yuxi was destined by the system to be the future leader of the Righteous Dao. Once she fell into Demon Dao, she'd become a prominent figure.
Taibai Yuxi was pushed into Demon Dao by Su Yuan, so she could naturally be considered a demon.
With such a natural talent and an unparalleled Demon Heart, becoming a King's Aid Demon is naturally reasonable.
After the white-haired lolita joined the Primordial Sect, the progress of the King's Aid Demon task immediately reached (1/9).
It's a pity that Taibai Phecda couldn't join; otherwise, a Golden Core Peak Sword Demon would have been a surefire King's Aid Demon.
Although he couldn't join, Su Yuan could still freely absorb Teacher Taibai's demonic energy.
With nourishment from the other party's demonic energy, a new Golden Apple was likely to be born soon.
"If there's nothing else, you should leave the retreat now."
Seeing Su Yuan start to daydream, Taibai Phecda signaled for him to leave:
"I informed your friends that you're about to exit the retreat. They've been waiting at the door for a while, so hurry out."
Su Yuan snapped back to reality, quickly nodded, and stood up to leave.
But just as Su Yuan reached the Cultivation Room's door, Taibai Phecda reminded him:
"In the meantime, you should focus on training well. Once you officially join the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, I'll tell you some secrets only Foundation Establishment cultivators are privy to."
Su Yuan paused slightly, then nodded, pushing open the Cultivation Room door.
Outside were many familiar faces.
Besides Chu Lanxi, Xiao Kong, Yin Qiyue, Li Zhengxing, and a few friends from Taihua City, Zhang Baiyi, Qi Hanyan, Wang Qiu, and Xiong Wei were also present.
Su Yuan quickly scanned the crowd of friends but did not see the most familiar figure.
"Where's Nuoyi?"
Su Yuan looked towards Yin Qiyue.
Yin Qiyue, upon hearing the name, showed a slightly unnatural expression:
"Well... it's a long story."
Su Yuan: "???"
Before he could ask for specifics, Qi Hanyan jumped in and said:
"Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi went behind enemy lines for the sake of our Primordial Sect, enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden."
"Huh?"
Su Yuan was even more confused:
"What do you mean 'enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden'? I have connections on both sides of the law in Taihua City. Who could possibly be against the Primordial Sect?"
Qi Hanyan waved her hand dismissively:
"It's complicated and can't be explained in a few sentences. I remember the Celestial Hunting Saintess is holding a banquet not far from our campus, and it's about to start. Let me take you there now."
Saying this, Qi Hanyan stepped onto a flying sword and took off, signaling for Su Yuan to follow.
In a daze, Su Yuan hesitated briefly, then bid farewell to his waiting friends and followed on his Chi Yuan Sword.
Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly unaided, but using flying swords or other vehicles clearly conserves more energy.
Both Qi Hanyan and Su Yuan were Foundation Establishment cultivators, flying at great speed and quickly leaving the Preparatory Class campus, arriving in the city.
Upon witnessing the city's scenery, Su Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.
In just one month, Taihua City seemed a bit unfamiliar.
The unfamiliarity was due to the advertisement boards on high-rise buildings throughout the city, all featuring the same person as the protagonist!
In the advertisement poster was a young girl in white, flawless in appearance and of supremely pure aura.
Behind her spread angelic pure white wings, making her appear as an angel from mythology.
At the bottom right of the poster, the girl's name was displayed.
Celestial Hunting Saintess: Zhu Tianqing!
Su Yuan looked at another large dual-person poster, where Zhu Tianqing still stood in the undisputed center position. Yet the other person in the poster was Chen Nuoyi.
Human-Demon Equality Ambassador: Chen Nuoyi!
