Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 328 - 272: Sect’s Treasure, True Monarch Teaching!
[Task: Sect’s Treasure (In Progress)]
[To transform the Tribulation Moon Pearl into a Treasure of Destiny, four Heaven and Earth Secret Realms need to be established within it.]
[The first is Corpse Mountain, the second is Sea of Blood, the third is Heaven’s End, and the fourth is Earth Passage.]
[Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood suppress the fate of humanity, whereas Heaven’s End and Earth Passage suppress the fate of heaven and earth. The Tribulation Moon hangs high in the sky, protecting the Primordial Sect’s fate from being lost.]
[Progress of Corpse Mountain Secret Realm: 90%]
[Progress of Sea of Blood Secret Realm: 60%]
[Progress of Heaven’s End Secret Realm: 0%]
[Progress of Earth Passage Secret Realm: 0%]
[Task Items: Refining Technique for Heaven’s End Secret Realm (Available for Claim) Refining Technique for Death Secret Realm (Available for Claim)]
[Task Reward: Demon Technique·Finger Beast (Level 3)]
"Corpse Mountain, Sea of Blood, Heaven’s End, Earth Passage?"
Looking at the four Heaven and Earth Secret Realms described by the dog system, Su Yuan was speechless.
You are playing bigger and bigger, huh? The Blue Star Federation is no longer enough to satisfy your appetite.
Fortunately, Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood were two secret realms that Su Yuan was planning to establish, so the task was half complete right from the start.
Especially Corpse Mountain, previously in the Absolute Sword World, Su Yuan had stolen... cough, retrieved nearly thirty thousand Sword Slaves, needing only some refining and nurturing to complete the task.
The Sea of Blood Secret Realm, also known as the Eight Treasure Merit Pool, cannot follow shortcuts, but as long as there is enough funding, the progress bar can quickly be filled.
These two secret realms can be bypassed directly.
Su Yuan looked at the task items and claimed the refining technique for Heaven’s End and Earth Passage Secret Realms.
A wealth of knowledge flooded Su Yuan’s mind, and after more than half an hour of assimilation, he finally understood the structural principles of these two secret realms.
Like Corpse Mountain and the Sea of Blood, Heaven’s End and Earth Passage are also connected, exhibiting a complementary effect.
The term Heaven’s End and Earth Passage originates from a myth. It is said that during the Ancient Era, Zhuanxu, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, cut down the Jianmu, stopping immortals from descending and separating heaven and man by isolating heaven and earth.
The Heaven’s End and Earth Passage Secret Realm, of course, has nothing to do with whether immortals come down to earth, but its effect coincidentally matches the myth.
Once a cultivator enters Heaven’s End and Earth Passage Secret Realm, their connection with their spiritual power will be severed, and they will become an ordinary mortal.
Not to mention suppressing fate, the mere effect of sealing others’ spiritual powers was enough for Su Yuan to decide to refine these two secret realms.
It’s just that the refining method for these two secret realms is quite troublesome. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The Heaven’s End Secret Realm requires gathering Gang Qi from above the Nine Heavens, combined with top-tier artifact refining techniques to create a sky curtain.
The Earth Passage Secret Realm, on the other hand, requires extracting Earth Evil Qi from beneath the Nine Hells, also combined with top artifact refining techniques to form an earth placenta.
Once the two secret realms are activated, the sky curtain and earth placenta will each form a hemisphere and close together, sealing all spiritual mechanisms with the power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.
"I wonder if these materials are sold on Pinbao."
Su Yuan thought to himself and opened the Pinbao platform to search, but found nothing.
At most, they sold small Magical Treasures with the taste of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.
It seems Pinbao is not all-powerful after all.
Su Yuan then searched on the Spiritual Net about Nine Heavens Gang Qi and Nine Hells Evil Qi, and found that they are exclusive resources of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
And the Evil Extermination Sword Sect happens to have a Spiritual Treasure specifically for extracting Nine Heavens Gang Qi and Nine Hells Evil Qi for students to cultivate.
Su Yuan was pleased and put away his phone.
This simplifies things. My master is the Head of the Half-Step System, so stealing a bit of Gang Qi and Evil Qi should be a piece of cake, right?
Additionally, Su Yuan was very comforted by the fact that the entire refining process for the Heaven’s End and Earth Passage Secret Realm contained no Demon Dao elements!
It’s definitely a Righteous Dao Secret Realm, so Su Yuan had no psychological burden in refining it.
Upon discovering this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but be surprised. Did the dog system suddenly turn a new leaf?
Or is it that Demon Dao methods are naturally weaker than Righteous Dao methods in suppressing fate, so it had no other choice?
In any case, the refining of the Heaven’s End and Earth Passage Secret Realm shouldn’t affect his reputation, right?
After confirming that he would be able to complete this task, Su Yuan looked at the task reward again.
Demon Technique·Finger Beast.
It’s obvious that this is a new Five Finger Series Demon Technique.
Or more accurately, a Ten Demon Fingers Series Demon Technique.
Judging by the name, the effect of Demon Technique·Finger Beast should be related to Spirit Beasts or Demon Beasts, and astonishingly, its level starts directly at level 3!
This is equivalent to Su Yuan obtaining the Demon Technique at a level that has already undergone two upgrades.
The reward is undeniably generous!
Demon Technique·Finger Beast, a must-have!
On the last day of the holiday, Su Yuan hurriedly moved the entire Corpse Mountain into the Tribulation Moon Pearl, interconnecting the bodies of the Sword Slaves to complete the Corpse Mountain Secret Realm.
At the same time, Su Yuan hastily expanded the Eight Treasure Merit Pool that was already established inside the Tribulation Moon Pearl and urgently purchased a batch of high-quality Spirit Beast blood, including some Foundation Establishment Spirit Beast essence blood.
This alone cost Su Yuan tens of millions of his savings.
Luckily, his money didn’t disappear; it just stayed with him in another form.
After this operation, the Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood Secret Realm were completed, and the related progress bars were directly filled to one hundred percent.
A fulfilling day was spent in Su Yuan’s diligent labor.
On September 24th, at eight in the morning, Su Yuan arrived at the seed class of the Evil Extermination Department on time.
As soon as he entered the class, he immediately sensed a difference from the outside world.
The Spirit Gathering Array in the seed class was at full power, and every wisp of Spiritual Energy was extremely pure, just slightly inferior to the Spiritual Power refined by the Great Desire Immortal Puppet.
Additionally, a peculiar fragrance lingered in the air. A deep inhale brought a sensation of the mind expanding and the spirit becoming clear.
In such a class environment, learning would certainly yield twice the results with half the effort.
As the highest scorer in military training, Su Yuan naturally sat in the first seat of the first row.
Sitting in the second and third seats were Chi Le’an and Qi Hanyan, two Foundation Establishment students.
Because Su Yuan arrived right on time, all his classmates were already present, and the bell soon rang for class.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe, resembling a walking sun, strode into the classroom.
Not just his clothes, but the aura around the middle-aged man was extremely dazzling. The only downside was that his rugged face appeared a bit dark, looking even darker under the golden light.
However, none of the students had any thoughts of mocking the man’s dark face.
Because he was a genuine Nascent Soul True Monarch and the chosen mentor of Chi Le’an, True Monarch Yang Hao!
Not only True Monarch Yang Hao but also True Monarch Zanyuan Taibai Phecda is one of the teachers for this class.
True Monarch Yang Hao is responsible for the two main subjects of the Seed Class: "Dao Heart" and "Sword Dao (Martial Arts)," while True Monarch Zanyuan is responsible for the two main subjects of "Cultivation" and "Body Refinement (Physical Education)."
And the specific content of these four major subjects is strongly correlated with the words "Evil Extermination," which is the biggest difference between the Evil Extermination Department and the Sword Dao Department.
As for the Spiritual Language Class and General Education Courses, they are taught by a Golden Core teacher.
Su Yuan and others had already anticipated this teaching configuration.
Since the school has hired two Nascent Soul tutors, it’s impossible to only have them teach a few disciples; they must teach classes as needed.
And the Seed Class, which gathers the essence of the Evil Extermination Department’s freshmen, is naturally the first choice for the Nascent Soul tutors to substitute teach.
If you can’t contribute to the school, how can you become deputy director?
However, although Su Yuan understood the reasons, he found it peculiar to think that from the Special Advancement Class to the Preparatory Class, and then to the Seed Class, it had always been the same teacher, Master Taibai, guiding him on his journey.
It’s as if, as he leveled up, his master was also leveling up.
At this moment, the deep, resonant voice of True Monarch Yang Hao rang out, bringing Su Yuan back to his senses.
"I am your Dao Heart and Sword Dao instructor. You can call me Teacher Yang."
"This class is a Sword Dao course. Your task is to choose a sword technique that suits you best, which will determine the content of your Sword Dao course for the entire upcoming academic year."
True Monarch Yang Hao was concise and to the point.
As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared above Su Yuan’s desk, displaying a list of available sword techniques.
Su Yuan quickly scanned the various sword techniques and found that they were all Qi Cultivation Stage sword techniques.
Although these sword techniques had routes upgrading directly to Foundation Establishment Level and Golden Core Level, Su Yuan needed top-tier sword techniques starting from the Foundation Establishment Level.
Obviously, the sword techniques on the virtual screen weren’t prepared for Su Yuan.
As expected, True Monarch Yang Hao then said:
"Su Yuan, Chi Le’an, and Qi Hanyan, the three of you can individually choose sword techniques starting from the Foundation Establishment Level."
"Sword techniques that start from the Foundation Establishment Level indicate that their cultivation difficulty far exceeds that of Qi Cultivation Level techniques."
"This also means the potential of these techniques is much higher, capable of reaching Nascent Soul and even Divinity Transformation levels."
"Such high-level sword techniques are rare even in the entire Evil Extermination Department."
"I will make the most suitable recommendations based on your performance during military training and the Preparatory Class."
Upon hearing True Monarch Yang Hao’s words, the other students in the Seed Class immediately showed expressions of envy.
Students who reach Foundation Establishment before enrollment compared to those who do it after, truly receive entirely different treatment!
Compared to these regular top scorers, Su Yuan and the other two were evidently the real seed students.
After a simple explanation, True Monarch Yang Hao first turned to Qi Hanyan, speaking with a somewhat softer tone:
"Wuji girl, I’ve heard that you’ve been practicing swordsmanship diligently recently, having developed a Sword Dao talent second only to Holy Maiden Level, and can quickly upgrade further?"
"It seems you’re not as playful as you used to be after coming of age. Well done."
Rarely praised by an elder, Qi Hanyan immediately straightened up, assuming a nonchalant posture:
"Uncle Yang, it’s just casual practice, nothing worth mentioning."
True Monarch Yang Hao said:
"Well said, your momentum is quite satisfying to me, so I’ve specially chosen for you a Celestial Extreme Swordsmanship!"
"This swordsmanship has very ordinary moves but an unparalleled advantage... The Heavenly Dao rewards the diligent. As long as you keep practicing diligently, the power of this swordsmanship will be infinitely enhanced."
"And it complements your Infinite Talent quite well."
"Huh? The Heavenly Dao rewards the diligent?"
The pink-haired girl’s charming face suddenly froze.
She cautiously asked:
"Teacher Yang, what if I don’t practice diligently enough?"
True Monarch Yang Hao: "Then this swordsmanship will be weaker than ordinary Qi Cultivation Level techniques."
Qi Hanyan immediately laughed foolishly:
"Hahaha, then it seems this swordsmanship really doesn’t suit me at all. How about we change it?"
True Monarch Yang Hao said expressionlessly:
"I’ve already reported to your mother; it must be Celestial Extreme Swordsmanship, and it cannot be changed."
The pink-haired girl immediately wailed in despair; the more she showed off earlier, the more pitiful she became now.
True Monarch Yang Hao then turned to Chi Le’an:
"Your Heaven Heart Sword Dao is outstanding, second only to the three Divinity Transformation Level Sword Dao secrets of the Evil Extermination Sword Sect. You don’t need to choose another sword technique for now."
"Yes."
Chi Le’an had expected this and nodded immediately.
Finally, True Monarch Yang Hao’s gaze fell on Su Yuan.
Looking at this student he was meeting for the first time, but whose infamous reputation he had long heard of, True Monarch Yang Hao remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
"Su Yuan, during the Preparatory Class and military training, you barely showcased any sword techniques."
"The only time you drew your sword was using that unidentified Lifebound Demon Sword of yours, rather than any swordsmanship. Therefore, I’m unsure which sword technique suits you."
"I’ll offer a few sword techniques based on my experience, and you can make your choice."
Su Yuan nodded solemnly, attentively listening.
Then he heard True Monarch Yang Hao say:
"Haori Swordsmanship, with straightforward and righteous moves. When you draw your sword, it resembles a scorching sun, repelling all evil. Do you wish to learn it?"
Su Yuan: "..."
Oh no, this old Yang is trying to burn me to ashes with righteous swordsmanship!
Su Yuan immediately had this thought, but he dared not voice it out.
Feigning serious consideration, he pondered for a while before gravely asking:
"Teacher Yang, may I ask if cultivating this technique entitles me to free access to on-campus cultivation resources?"
True Monarch Yang Hao: "???"
