Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 346 - 289: Who in the World Does Not Practice Demonic Arts?
"Yes, it looks like this."
Zhuo Lixin responded with a complex tone.
From her tone, one could hear how intriguing her mindset would have been when she first learned this news.
"This..."
Su Yuan was momentarily at a loss.
Had he chosen the right department, or the wrong one?
But after hearing Zhuo Lixin’s next words, Su Yuan dismissed this thought.
Zhuo Lixin: "Upon discovering how evil the Divinity Transformation inheritance of the Evil Extermination Department was, I once wondered if I chose the wrong major."
"But when my Dao Heart wavered, the teacher who was teaching me the Divinity Transformation inheritance explained to me."
"He said all three Divinity Transformation inheritances of Evil Extermination University, and all Divinity Transformation inheritances of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, are Demon Inheritances without exception."
"So no matter how you choose, what you’ll eventually learn will be a Demonic Cultivation Technique."
Su Yuan: "..."
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know magic?
The gold content of the Demon Lord title is still rising!
He tentatively asked:
"Is there really no Righteous Dao inheritance? Even from a probability standpoint, this doesn’t add up. Could there be some conspiracy here?"
Zhuo Lixin replied:
"The predecessors certainly had conjectures like yours, so the Ten Great Immortal Sects put forth tremendous effort to uncover the truth of it all."
"After years of investigation, they finally reached a conclusion that shocked the industry."
Listening to the deep words of the beautiful senior sister, Su Yuan swallowed hard, feeling that some earth-shattering secret was about to be revealed.
Then the beautiful senior sister slowly said:
"All thirty-six ancient Human Race Divinity Transformations were Demon Cultivators, not a single Righteous Cultivator among them." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Hiss—"
This news was indeed explosive.
So is this the key factor for the Immortal Tribulation?
Before Su Yuan could pose this question, Zhuo Lixin’s subsequent words quashed this speculation.
"According to experts and scholars, even though the core techniques of these thirty-six Divinity Transformations were demonic, many of their actions could be considered those of a Righteous Cultivator, serving as standard cases of Demonic Techniques put to righteous use."
"Some ancient records note that, before the Immortal Tribulation descended, the Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs voluntarily protected the prodigies within the ancient Human Race, indicating their nurturing, fatherly love."
After hearing this dissertation, Su Yuan scratched his head and helplessly quipped:
"If they’re not Demons, why did they all practice demonic techniques? Do they get assigned a demonic technique upon achieving Divinity Transformation?"
"There’s that possibility!"
Surprisingly, Zhuo Lixin actually agreed with Su Yuan’s offhand remark.
With earnestness, the beautiful senior sister said:
"According to current analyses of Righteous and Demonic Inheritances excavated by the Blue Star Federation, the higher the inheritance, the more prevalent the demonic heritage."
"Many owners of these demonic inheritances were paragons and leaders of Righteous Sects."
"And from the study of the universally demonic cultivation among Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs, we can deduce that, aside from some low-key Demonic Inheritances invented by impoverished Loose Cultivators, all other demonic inheritances were handed down from above."
"Simply put, it indicates that above Divinity Transformation is an extraordinarily mysterious existence, one that actively disseminates demonic teachings."
"The Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarchs closest to that mysterious existence are the most influenced, therefore universally demonic."
"Those in the Nascent Soul realm are influenced to a lesser extent, but even so, over thirty percent of Righteous Nascent Souls practice a demonic inheritance."
"It’s only at the Golden Core level that things return to normal, where Righteous cultivators practice Righteous techniques, and Demons practice demonic techniques."
"It’s likely that the mysterious existence is the one who initiated the Immortal Tribulation."
"We just don’t know if this so-called mysterious existence is a person or something beyond our understanding."
Su Yuan listened for a while, then nodded and said:
"If you put it this way, demonic cultivation is actually the Righteous Path."
"You Righteous Cultivators end up turning to demonic paths in higher realms anyway."
Zhuo Lixin was speechless:
"You got that from everything I said? Shouldn’t it be about striving to improve oneself and changing this cycle where cultivation increasingly leads to becoming a Demon Cultivator?"
"Why should I change?"
Su Yuan retorted confidently:
"If everyone becomes a Demon Cultivator, then we’re the Righteous Path, and those stubborn few are the outcasts."
"Don’t tell me I need to teach you such simple perspective-switching logic?"
Of course, Su Yuan didn’t voice his last thought—if everyone practices demonic cultivation, then once he advances in realms and enacts the "King of the Underworld" title, won’t everyone kneel before him?
Wouldn’t the King of the Underworld evolve directly into the King of Demons? He’d love such a world.
Zhuo Lixin: "..."
It seemed to make some sense...
But suddenly, the beautiful senior sister shook her head vigorously.
No, no, she couldn’t be swayed by Su Yuan’s nonsense!
This guy truly was a supreme Demon, considered her lifelong rival; anyone near him would have their mind twisted!
Zhuo Lixin decided not to say another word to Su Yuan unless necessary.
Meanwhile, their conversation drew to a close as the battle on the arena neared its end.
Or rather, since the moment Qiu Tianze unleashed the Blood Sword, the battle was already over.
At this moment, he held the Blood Sword and approached ten meters in front of Chi Le’an, casually striking with his sword.
The scarlet light of the sword transformed into an arc, rushing straight towards Chi Le’an.
But this strike seemed somewhat off; following its trajectory, it seemed only capable of grazing Chi Le’an’s arm.
Even so, Chi Le’an dared not take it lightly, activating the Heaven Heart Sword Dao to its fullest, filling the space between him and the scarlet arc with the vast Power of Heaven and Earth in an attempt to resist.
However, when the scarlet arc touched that intangible Power of Heaven and Earth, something eerie occurred.
A sound akin to a blade piercing flesh rang out.
The Power of Heaven and Earth gained an apparent corporeal form in the face of the blood light, and that form turned out to be as delicate as actual flesh and blood, easily pierced by the sword light.
Chi Le’an raised the Heartless Demon Sword to strike at the scarlet arc.
But the result was the same.
With a tearing sound, the Heartless Demon Sword seemed as though it were made of mere flesh, sliced through effortlessly by the scarlet arc.
Yet after the arc passed, the Heartless Demon Sword returned to its original state as though it all had been an illusion.
But reality proved it was no illusion. The scarlet arc had no further obstruction and gently grazed Chi Le’an’s arm before vanishing.
In the next second, the seemingly shallow wound began to gush blood profusely.
Chi Le’an instinctively tried to use his Spiritual Power to seal the wound, but his eyes suddenly narrowed in shock the next second.
Because as his Spiritual Power neared the wound, it was blocked by some force, unable to heal the cut.
On the contrary, the malicious force within the wound began resolutely invading his body, seizing territory.
With each part of the body it conquered, blood would immediately stream copiously from the wound.
This resulted in what should have been a small cut on the arm bleeding several hundred milliliters within mere seconds, with no sign of stopping.
Witnessing this, the spectators immediately comprehended the effect of the scarlet arc.
Unhealable bleeding — even a tiny wound, without a way to cure it, would eventually cause a cultivator to fall from excessive blood loss.
Given this sword technique as a Divinity Transformation inheritance, the difficulty in healing it is imaginable!
How...how insidious!
Is this just the first phase of the Divinity Transformation inheritance?
Just how grotesque would a complete Evil Extermination Department Divinity Transformation inheritance be?
"Junior Brother Chi, you may as well concede."
Qiu Tianze glanced at Chi Le’an’s vital blood spilling on the ground, barely suppressing the urge to absorb it for his own use, as he sheathed the Blood Sword and advised calmly.
Because of the blood absorbed by his Divinity Transformation inheritance, Qiu Tianze’s face was noticeably paler than before.
But clearly, his state was far stronger than the continuously bleeding Chi Le’an.
The latter attempted to continue fighting before he lost all his blood, but as soon as he made a move, the wound began hemorrhaging again.
No matter how defiant he became with his alternate persona, he could only admit defeat reluctantly.
