Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System Chapter 518 - 437: Your Existence Only Makes Spiritual Energ

Facing Gui Yuan’s stern rebuke, the Faceless Man showed not the slightest sign of anger, responding calmly:

"After a hundred thousand years, you’re still so naive."

"From the perspective of an entire civilization, an individual’s life is insignificant. As the strongest warrior in the cultivation civilization, I am the foundation of this civilization. You ought to support unconditionally."

Gui Yuan: "If it weren’t for you, this parasite, we should be living much better."

"That may not be the case."

The Faceless Man shook his head:

"Debating with soone as ignorant as you is pointless. It is only through imposing sanctions upon you, making you suffer, that you might make the right choices."

As he spoke, the Faceless Man spread his hand, and countless deep and dark specks of light, like mosquito swarms, appeared in his palm.

The next second, those specks shot off like a small teor shower in one direction and vanished in an instant.

"Now that you’re already prepared to teleport at any mont, I’m not interested in engaging you in a race-against-ti battle. Even if I were to leave you all behind, the world governed by the Holy Law Governance Council would still be taken away by the Blue Star."

"Since that’s the case, why not... play a little ga."

The Faceless Man’s voice carried a hint of amusent:

"Just now, I released a million Abyssal Shadows into the Celestial Law World and its affiliated smaller worlds."

"They will select the most suitable targets, take their forms, kill the originals, and replace them."

"Hehe, under such circumstances, you surely wouldn’t dare to bring the Celestial Law World close to your holand, right? After all, no one can be sure how many of those million Abyssal Shadows are lying in wait to infiltrate."

"Please do your best to find the million Easter eggs I’ve left for you. If you really can’t, it wouldn’t matter if you decided to destroy the entire Celestial Law World."

"Oh, and I forgot to remind you of one thing: in any area of this starry sky, whenever a cultivator falls, more than half of the Spiritual Energy dispersed after their death will be recovered by ."

"If you truly resolve to destroy the entire Celestial Law World, I would be most delighted."

Gui Yuan and An Xingran’s faces both changed.

The Venerable of Imasurable Calamity, that old thing, is truly sinister!

Not to ntion a million Abyssal Shadows, even if it were a million pigs, it would take a good while to catch.

During the pursuit, many will inevitably evade capture, replace the originals, and blend into the high ranks of the Immortal Official System or beco pillars of cultivation influences.

Dragging the Blue Star Federation’s powerhouses into a mire of war and suspicion this way is far more effective than killing one or two Divinity Transformations.

On the field, only Su Yuan’s focus was slightly off-track.

Easter eggs... that Old Deng just said the word Easter eggs, didn’t he.

Despite being an ancient being crossing countless eras, who’d have thought his thinking would be quite trendy... Did he pick up this term surfing the Spiritual Net from Blue Star, or have there been previous cultivation eras that entered a modern cultivation society?

Either way, it’s quite terrifying.

"Please enjoy this ga. My shadows and I will be off... The next cultivation civilization is waiting for to subdue."

As the Faceless Man spoke, he and his shadows took a step back and imdiately entered the Immortal Realm, disappearing from sight.

In An Xingran and Gui Yuan’s perception, the Immortal Realm, existing in so otherworld, was rapidly distancing at a speed akin to shrinking the earth to inches.

"Damn, fleeing as soon as it’s a tough fight! To have lived so long, you’d think he’d have a bit of dignity!"

An Xingran, puffing up her cheeks like a blowfish, was fuming.

"Huh? A tough fight?"

Su Yuan looked at An Xingran, thinking she was bluffing.

Just a mont ago, she was so scared by the aura of the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity’s avatar that she couldn’t even move.

"Senior Profound Art was already prepared to bring our entire Star-Annihilating Fleet over!"

An Xingran pointed to the golden array above:

"You might not know, but a Star Destroyer is really strong. If driven by the Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch himself, it can unleash power two or three sub-realms higher than the driver."

"Paired with our Immortal Treasures, even if it’s the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity’s avatar at the Divinity Transformation Peak, so what? Blast him with cannons, we could certainly blow him up."

Su Yuan was speechless, not expecting his Federation’s fleet to be so maneuverable.

An Xingran added:

"Also because we were prepared for war with the Immortal Realm, the fleet was positioned near the Celestial Law World in advance, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so fast."

That makes more sense.

But in any case, not directly warring with the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity is a good thing.

After all, he’s at the Divinity Transformation Peak; even if the entire Federation truly could fight and win, it would co at a huge cost.

Even if we managed a pyrrhic victory, the Blue Star Federation would surely beco the main target of the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity’s wrath, with the possibility of him coming in person.

Just as he was thinking this, Su Yuan noticed Gui Yuan gently shaking his head:

"You’re overthinking it. From what I know of the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity, even without our reinforcents, he wouldn’t make a personal move."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Both Su Yuan and An Xingran were taken aback.

Gui Yuan sneered coldly:

"Because that guy is just an empty shell... He can’t bear to waste even a tiny bit of Immortal Power on unnecessary battles."

"Even the great calamity that has exterminated countless cultivation civilizations, the Heavenly Weeping Calamity, is rely a ans to harvest cultivators below the Divinity Transformation level to strengthen itself, rather than an attack thod."

"Precisely because of this, when dealing with cultivation civilizations that have Divinity Transformation-level combat power, he often uses so ghostly tricks to conquer them."

Upon hearing this explanation, both Su Yuan and An Xingran couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

Reluctant to spend Immortal Power... Does the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity lack Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?

Or perhaps, at his level, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth can no longer satisfy his needs, forcing him to repeatedly harvest cultivators across the world.

This is also reasonable. After all, in Su Yuan’s understanding, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishnt Stage, solely relying on absorbing Sun and Moon Essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is insufficient to support oneself.

Only by relying on Spirit Stones, Spirit Gathering Arrays, and other external forces can they maintain a balance between inco and expenditure and continue to ascend.

For instance, when Su Yuan was in Taihua City, he recruited those fifty-three-year-old optimized Foundation Establishnt workers; as long as sufficient Spirit Stones were provided as benefits, they willingly took a pay cut to work for him.

Perhaps the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity also faces a similar predicant.

So this guy is indeed the biggest parasite in the Cultivation Realm; his existence only drives up the price of spiritual energy.

Su Yuan made his conclusion.

Gui Yuan: "Let’s not talk about the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity for now. We must find a way to deal with those million Abyssal Shadows."

"If we let these Abyssal Shadows replace important figures in the Celestial Law World, it won’t be long before it brings untold suffering to all living beings."

As she spoke, the golden-haired girl’s delicate face showed deep worry.

It was apparent that, having fought the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity for so long, she was thoroughly aware of the destructiveness of the Abyssal Shadows... and she hadn’t found a suitable way to resolve it.

Hearing this, a hint of a peculiar expression appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes.

If there are no surprises, the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity probably doesn’t yet know that he is also a fellow traveler on the Primordial Dao.

That Old Deng likely planned to train him a bit more before harvesting when he reached the Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation Stage.

rely relying on the detection capabilities of the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, the living environnt for the Abyssal Shadows would beco very harsh.

However, if one only relies on the Demon Cloud Divine Thunder, it sowhat seems like pointing out the obvious—by the ti the Abyssal Shadow is detected, the original target might already be hard.

But... Su Yuan himself also possesses the ’Abyssal Shadow’ divine technique!

The biggest flaw of this shadow is that once the shadow of a corresponding target is destroyed, it cannot be replicated and replaced again, equivalent to the target having developed an antibody against the shadow.

Following this line of thought, Su Yuan can completely copy soone’s shadow first, destroy it directly, and then that person won’t be replaced by an Abyssal Shadow.

He has mastered the vaccine for Abyssal Shadows!

Moreover, to his knowledge, every Abyssal Shadow contains a part of the Primordial Dao. He can eliminate shadows while improving himself, making it a win-win—he wins twice.

Perhaps the Venerable of Imasurable Calamity never thought that he, this stingy old miser, would also be plucked by soone else one day.

However, all of this is currently known only to Su Yuan, so even An Xingran is frowning and looking quite troubled.

Seeing the two girls troubled, the corners of Su Yuan’s mouth curled up like a Nike logo.

It’s ti for the hero to make his entrance!

"I actually have a solution to deal with the Abyssal Shadows."

Before Su Yuan could finish his sentence, the two girls simultaneously focused their eager gazes on him.

If we don’t consider one being sixteen-zero-a-few-thousand years old and the other eighteen-zero-three-hundred-plus years old, receiving such focused attention feels quite gratifying.

Of course, it actually does feel quite gratifying.

Su Yuan cleared his throat:

"Before I reveal this thod, I must trust you both first."

"I surely trust Junior Sister An, but as for the Saint Law Celestial Monarch... "

"You can just call Gui Yuan."

The golden-haired girl said earnestly:

"How can I earn your trust?"

"It’s simple; just fill out this voluntary application form to join the Primordial Sect."

Like performing a magic trick, Su Yuan produced two sheets of A4 paper and handed them to the two of them:

"Junior Sister An, you fill it out too, just to follow the procedure, rember to put your handprint as well."

An Xingran: "..."

Seriously, is this Primordial Sect so strange mysterious organization, and why does Su Yuan keep making people fill out forms?

It feels like getting on a pirate ship or sothing.

Gui Yuan, however, didn’t think too much about it. After glancing at the application form written in spiritual runes and confirming there weren’t any strange terms, she quickly filled in her na and placed her handprint.

Feeling the Sect’s Fate surge with joy, Su Yuan’s heart blossod with happiness.

From today onwards, the Primordial Sect will have two Divinity Transformation Great Powers to oversee it.

Such a level of influence, let alone competing among the top hundred Demon Sects, can entirely contend for the top ten, or even top five Demon Sects!

And at this mont, a ’ding’ sounded in Su Yuan’s ear.

A new demon task has been triggered!
