Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 542 - 461: When You Need to Improve Your Cultivation, Think of Your Fellow Disciples More Often!

As the Corruption Golden Core connected to each cultivator of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, a catastrophe was born.

From Qi Cultivation cultivators to Golden Core Elders, the power within them was extracted at light speed and infused into the Corruption Golden Core.

One demonic cultivator after another turned into mummies, falling to the ground, devoid of any vitality.

Only the souls floated out of their bodies, being absorbed by Su Yuan into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

As for whether there were any residents of the Ten Immortals City among these demonic cultivators?

Su Yuan couldn’t tell for sure, but even if he killed them by mistake, it didn’t matter. As long as he ultimately won, they could all wake from their slumber.

The power stored in the Corruption Golden Core wasn’t used for himself; already at the Golden Core Peak, he only lacked more Primordial Dao Essence.

Simply absorbing others’ cultivation was meaningless; it would only make him unable to suppress his realm, breaking through without sufficient foundation.

However, someone else very much needed this power.

For instance, Zhu Qingqing, or Gui Yuan.

Not to mention Gui Yuan, for Zhu Qingqing in the real world, having already broken through the Nascent Soul Stage once, as long as sufficient power was infused, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage again would come naturally.

Su Yuan aimed to expedite her advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage, making her his ally.

The Corruption Golden Core swiftly refined the collected flesh and blood power along with the cultivators’ cultivation, transforming it into the purest energy and injecting it into Zhu Qingqing’s body.

With her already at Peak Golden Core Cultivation, she immediately entered the countdown to a breakthrough, her momentum climbing higher every second.

Such a drastic change naturally drew the attention of the current Observatory Master of Zhu Yan White Bone Observation.

As disciples under his tutelage fell like harvested wheat, an elder with white hair and childlike features, covered in signs of puppet transformation, appeared before Su Yuan and the others.

He was also enveloped in a red glow, as his cultivation and flesh and blood power were slowly being siphoned away.

Looking at his disciple, who was relying on the blood sacrifice of fellow sect members to enhance her cultivation, the Old Temple Master couldn’t help showing a look of gratification:

"Didn’t expect this young girl, at such a young age, to think of her senior and junior brothers when facing a bottleneck. Truly, blue surpasses blue."

Hearing this, Su Yuan: "???"

Wait! This Old Deng seems oddly proud?

I didn’t even alter his perception!

Indeed, compared to these cultivators of the Ancient Demon Sect, his demonic nature is still quite lacking.

But immediately, the Old Temple Master’s expression turned cold:

"However, you shouldn’t ally with external enemies to scheme against your own. Moreover, you shouldn’t act against your master with just a Golden Core cultivation!"

"You ungrateful disciple, I will refine you into my proudest Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet!"

With that, the Old Temple Master’s palm rapidly transformed, producing out of thin air hundreds of powerful puppets, advancing to encircle Zhu Qingqing.

Su Yuan watched this scene speechlessly.

What a Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, truly a sect full of filial piety and love.

Still, Su Yuan wouldn’t allow the Old Temple Master to hinder Zhu Qingqing’s breakthrough.

He raised his hand, pointing at the Old Temple Master and his puppets.

In the next moment, massive purple-black tribulation thunderbolts struck from the sky, enveloping the hundreds of puppets and the Old Temple Master in their midst.

Demon Cloud Divine Thunder!

This Unique Level Divine Technique, already possessing incredibly high potential, had reached new heights in power under the enhancement of Su Yuan’s grasp of the Primordial Dao.

Even the Old Temple Master at the Nascent Soul Early Stage could not ignore the power of the Tribulation Thunder.

The Old Temple Master’s figure retreated violently, barely escaping the range of the Tribulation Thunder, his entire body scorched black, while the puppets he recently summoned were reduced to dust.

A wary glance cast at Su Yuan, the Old Temple Master coldly said:

"What a demon brat, I underestimated you."

Su Yuan didn’t waste words with this Old Deng, as an even larger, more sinister tribulation cloud gathered above the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, with thunderbolts capable of reshaping the terrain raining down like droplets.

Even as the Old Temple Master kept moving, he was occasionally hit by a thunderbolt, leaving his skin charred.

However, in the face of Su Yuan’s frantic attacks, he wasn’t entirely without options.

"Young one, you’re good. It seems I must resort to my strongest means to deal with you. Come forth, my master!"

The battered Old Temple Master let out a long howl, and a vivid, enchanting woman appeared before him.

Though the woman’s eyes were slightly vacant, there was an indescribable allure about her expression.

Those with weak will might find themselves captivated at a glance.

"Is this the previous Observatory Master of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, Zhu Qingqing’s grandmaster?"

Looking at this woman, Su Yuan’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

The Zhu Yan White Bone Observation really is brimming with talent.

"Bow before my master, kid!"

The Old Temple Master let out a sinister laugh, a slight movement of his finger, and the beautiful woman seemed to come to life, her charming eyes gazing at Su Yuan.

A strong impact surged into Su Yuan’s mind, attempting to forcibly drag him into the abyss of enchantment.

Fortunately, Su Yuan relied on the Brahma Purifying Demon Heart to resist this seductive power.

Just as he was about to unleash stronger Demon Cloud Divine Thunder to destroy the Nascent Soul Stage Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet, a light laughter suddenly sounded beside him.

"Master, your control over my grandmaster remains as clumsy as ever, but to be fair... how could a grown man understand the true art of enchantment?"

The speaker was none other than Zhu Qingqing.

At this moment, the aura enveloping her had undergone drastic change, officially breaking free from the shackles of the Golden Core Stage, becoming a newly ascended Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Seeing his disciple smoothly break through the realm, a trace of astonishment flashed in the Old Temple Master’s eyes.

Such an easy reach to the Nascent Soul Stage, it simply didn’t seem like a first-time breakthrough.

But in the next second, a glint of greed flashed in the Old Temple Master’s eyes.

"Not bad, a Nascent Soul Stage puppet is worth much more than a Golden Core Stage puppet, both of you stay with me!"

While speaking, he once again activated the former Temple Master’s puppet, intending to make a move on Zhu Qingqing.

But something shocking happened to the Old Temple Master.

The puppet, which was supposed to be under his full control, was suddenly motionless, stiff as a statue.

No matter how the Old Temple Master tried to manipulate it, it was in vain.

"Master, stop struggling, the problem isn’t with Grandmaster, but that I have already taken over the control of Grandmaster."

Zhu Qingqing gave a faint smile and spoke leisurely, under the stunned gaze of the Old Temple Master:

"I am thoroughly familiar with Grandmaster’s bodily structure, how to manipulate her, which backdoors exist in her body, and how to exploit these to gain control, I am more knowledgeable than you."

"What?!"

The Old Temple Master could hardly believe his ears.

If he remembered correctly, this was indeed the first time he displayed the puppet created from the former Temple Master before his disciple.

Why did she know so much?

Zhu Qingqing continued:

"Oh, it’s not just Grandmaster, I am also thoroughly familiar with your body, Master, as I personally turned you into a puppet."

"Although, comparing horizontally, you are somewhat inferior to Grandmaster; indeed, males don’t stand shoulder to shoulder with females on the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet track."

The Old Temple Master looked baffled, unable to comprehend what Zhu Qingqing was actually saying.

But he didn’t need to understand anyway.

Because as Zhu Qingqing spoke, the puppet of the former Temple Master had already turned around, meeting the Old Temple Master’s gaze.

With just one look, the Old Temple Master was drawn into a vortex of rosy color.

The power of the Crown of Corruption further activated, swiftly absorbing him dry, allowing Zhu Qingqing to advance further, reaching the Nascent Soul Third Layer.

Not just that, because the Old Temple Master and the compatriots of the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation had walked the same path as Zhu Qingqing, their Essence of the Great Dao was also absorbed by her.

After sacrificing the entire Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, Zhu Qingqing’s power almost returned to its peak condition.

"Pity, those dried-up corpses drained of power are useless; otherwise, I’d have gained a strong batch of puppets."

Gazing at the mass of dried corpses at the mountain gate, Zhu Qingqing sighed regretfully.

But soon, she adjusted her mood.

"Oh well, having Grandmaster is enough, as quality matters over quantity, doesn’t it?"

She reached out her hand to draw the vacant-eyed Grandmaster into her embrace, looking all affectionate.

It certainly confirms the saying about grandparents and grandchildren being close.

"The tradition of your Zhu Yan White Bone Observation is indeed unique, the inheritance between master and apprentice is unlike anywhere else."

Su Yuan couldn’t help but jest.

Zhu Qingqing snorted softly:

"You, who blood-sacrificed the whole sect, took all the souls of my master and fellow disciples to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, dare to criticize me?"

Su Yuan: "That’s true."

The observing Gui Yuan: "..."
