I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Ghost King Sect.

The shady side of Fengdu Mountain.

In the southeast territory, there was a pond, perennially extremely cold and dark, filled with countless ghostly entities, known as the Soul Devouring Pool.

The body of the Heavenly Demon, Sect Leader of the Ghost King Sect, was well-suited for cultivation in the Soul Devouring Pool, hence, he designated the surrounding dozens of miles as the sect's forbidden area.

That day.

The bottom of the Soul Devouring Pool twinkled with spiritual light as a dozen figures appeared within the transportation formation.

Before the cultivators' appearances were clear, four Sect's Supreme Treasures—the Divine Fire Fan, the Light Dividing Sword, the Supreme Clarity Divine Talisman, and the Bodhi Treasure Wheel—were positioned around them, forming an intricate formation to counter any incoming attacks.

A female voice was heard, "This humble one greets the respected ancestors."

Powerful divine senses swept through in every direction, confirming the absence of any hidden dangers, before the Supreme Treasures were put away.

Xiao Tiezhu laughed, "The poor Daoist always guessed that Fellow Daoist's heart leaned towards the righteous path, how could you conspire with evil demons!"

Huang Yuniang shook her head, "This humble one cannot say my heart leans towards the righteous path, but I manage to abstain from killing, and haven't spared those duplicitous fellow sect members either."

"Amitabha!"

Fa Ming intoned the Buddha's name and said, "Benefactor has the heart of a Buddha in the body of a demon; if one day there's nowhere for you to go, you may join the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for quiet cultivation."

Huang Yuniang pressed her palms together, "I thank the Zen Master."

Xiao Tiezhu sighed, "This alliance to destroy the Ghost King Sect and kill the Extreme Yin Demon Lord is indeed making it difficult for you, Fellow Daoist."

"In the demonic path, there are no sentiments such as the grace of master and disciple; Extreme Yin only valued my talents, using me as a tool to rule the Ghost King Sect," said Huang Yuniang.

"Maybe, when my master's lifespan is not sufficient, he could use it to perform the Heavenly Demon's reincarnation secret technique, borrowing this humble one's body to extend his life by thirty to fifty years!"

The righteous sects might exploit Loose Cultivators, but the demonic path follows the survival of the fittest; every Demon Head with some reputation has climbed to power over countless corpses, including those of parents, relatives, and fellow sect members.

That many Demon Heads could come together was also for Spirit Veins, inheritances, and to unite against the righteous path; otherwise, they would have scattered long ago, like birds and beasts.

"The demonic path is brutal; it is to be destroyed!"

Xiao Tiezhu looked at the nine elders, "As per our original plan, I will seek out the old ghost, while the three venerable monks will join forces to cast the Ten Thousand Buddhas' Divine Light. The other Daoist friends will deal with Extreme Yin and the other three Demon Lords. We must ensure that every demonic cultivator of the Ghost King Sect meets their end!"

"Great virtue!"

Ten figures scattered in different directions, leaving only Huang Yuniang behind.

"I don't know whether my fate is to live or to die."

Huang Yuniang harbored no affection for the demonic path, but she wasn't naive enough to believe that the righteous ancestors would show mercy.

If one doesn't count the slaughter of mortals, just in terms of decisive killing, Daojuns are in no way inferior to Demon Lords.

At that moment.

A voice arose beside her, "Fellow Daoist can leave first via teleportation to avoid being affected by the fight. The disciples at Dan Ding Sect have been arranged to meet you; you can go to Da Qian and quietly cultivate to evade the disaster."

Huang Yuniang was slightly startled, finding Daojun Xuan Xiao rather interesting, unlike other ancestors who seemed callous.

"Da Qian... such a distant name, I wonder if my father's grave still exists."

The teleportation formation activated, Huang Yuniang's figure gradually blurred, and just before vanishing, she seemed to hear earth-shattering booms, cries of pain, wails, roars…

…

The year six hundred eighteen of the Da Qian era.

Daojun Xuan Xiao of the Dan Ding Sect led nine Nascent Soul elders to infiltrate the inner ranks of the Ghost King Sect and execute the Extreme Yin and Heavenly Demon Demon Lords.

Chang You Demon Venerable fought against two with the Supreme Treasure, the Hell Scroll, and after being defeated, opened the sect's main array to flee, only to be trapped and attacked by three Nascent Soul elders. His body perished and his Dao was obliterated.

The allied forces of the righteous path from the Four Sects of the Four Seas laid siege to the Ghost King Sect with nearly ten thousand cultivators; the formations and prohibitions sealed off a thousand miles, and it took half a year to slaughter everyone within.

Daojun Xuan Xiao, together with the Nascent Soul elders, activated the Sect-Defending Supreme Treasure to bombard and break the Earth-level Spirit Vein of Fengdu Mountain into pieces.

After the fall of the Ghost King Sect, many Nascent Soul elders proclaimed that they had found the means to unlock the Sect Protection Array.

The morale of the righteous allied forces soared!

The Heavenly Demon Sect, the Blood God Sect, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect were shaken thrice in a single day!

…

The Eastern Sea.

The news of the Ghost King Sect's destruction quickly reached the Earth Fire Palace, where Yuan Qi reported immediately.

"Worthy of being called Xiao Zhadan, no, a nuclear bomb now!"

Zhou Yi had anticipated trouble for the Ghost King Sect, but never imagined that a sect of ten thousand years would be destroyed in an instant. He was astounded by the destructive power of the Son of Destiny.

"Now that the Ghost King Sect is no more, lift the sect's restrictions and allow disciples to come and go freely," he said.

"Elder, it is still not peaceful, and the Five Spirits Sect covetously eyes us," replied Yuan Qi.

"It's rumored that the Five Spirits Sect gained great advantages this time, seizing two Spirit Veins and becoming the fifth sect of the righteous path overnight," Yuan Qi said.

"No matter, the Five Spirits Sect is at a life-or-death juncture; they have no spare energy to manage the Eastern Sea," Zhou Yi instructed. "Since the Ghost King Sect's primary site is destroyed, many hidden disciples remain, unable to stay in Nine Continents. They can only sneak into the sects of the Eastern Sea.

For the next decade, Earth Fire Palace won't accept new disciples, to prevent infiltration by the demonic path!"

After the destruction of the Ghost King Sect, the remaining three demonic sects would surely seek fierce revenge. If they couldn't take down Dan Ding Sect, were they not capable of dealing with the Five Spirits Sect!?

Understanding the rationale, Yuan Qi asked, "Not even accepting newborn children?"

Zhou Yi nodded, "The Ghost Path Cultivation Method is particularly enigmatic and unpredictable. It wouldn't be surprising if they possess secret techniques for body possession and reincarnation, so we must take precautions."

In truth, Zhou had no real concern about the remnants of the Ghost King Sect mixing in; even if they clandestinely entered Earth Fire Palace for cultivation, they wouldn't outlive Zhou Yi. However, their presence was bound to bring various troubles, like secretly banding together to corrupt fellow disciples or assassinate elders — an array of nuisances that Zhou Yi preferred to avoid.

"I will heed the Elder's decree," responded Yuan Qi.
