Chapter 345: Chapter 246: Advancement to the Mid-stage of Golden Core, Sky Demon Calamity Body_5
However, he still underestimated the difficulty level of that 1%.
In fact, it was a significant bottleneck. It required a lot of time and continuous assault to break through.
The transformation of the Spiritual Root was not a one-step process.
It needed years of subtle and gradual improvement before it could ultimately breakthrough.
As for the promotion to a fourth-rank Spiritual Root, it would likely take a few more years.
“Forget it, just keep cultivating.”
“I shouldn’t rush.”
Zhou Sui took a deep breath, calming his slightly excited heart.
“Huh?!”
At that moment, something stirred inside Zhou Sui. His Heart’s Eye Power spread out, covering the whole mountain range of the Immortal Mist Sect, reflecting the space like a mirror.
Suddenly, under the perception of his Heart’s Eye, five unexpected visitors appeared.
Two late Golden Core cultivators and three mid-Golden Core cultivators.
Each of them emanated a malevolently bloody aura. It was evident that they were Demon Cultivators, who got their hands stained with the fresh blood of countless individuals and were undoubtedly used to mass murders.
These five Golden Core cultivators quietly infiltrated the Immortal Mist Sect, heading directly towards Immortal Mist Peak.
“How dare Golden Core robbing cultivators invade the Immortal Mist Sect?”
“Didn’t the death of Blood Fiend and others last time deter these Golden Core pillaging cultivators?”
“That’s right, it seems that the three Golden Core cultivators from Immortal Mist City have already headed to Giant Deer Island, reaching the front line.”
“So, outsiders see the Immortal Mist Sect as an easy target since there are no Golden Core cultivators defending it?”
“But isn’t this too quick?”
“Could it be due to Chu Dieyi’s Sky Demon Calamity Body that brings misfortune not only to her but also to people around her, especially her Dao partners, making them more prone to calamities?”
Zhou Sui couldn’t help but recall Chu Dieyi’s unique constitution.
It was because of this kind of constitution that Chu Dieyi was considered a plague in the Sky Demon Sect, and nobody dared approach her.
They feared being contaminated with the misfortune of Chu Dieyi, which would result in disaster.
He was now slightly aware of the potency of such a constitution.
“However, while this constitution brings disaster, it also brings opportunities.”
“Could these five Golden Core robbing cultivators be Fortune Handing Boys with treasures I need?”
“Forget it, thinking too much is pointless. I should eliminate them first and loot their treasures.”
As Zhou Sui stroked his chin, he couldn’t help but think of this.
At this point, something stirred in his heart, and he immediately had his few Clones launch a sneak attack on these five Golden Core robbing cultivators.
…
The timeline lagged slightly.
On the mountain peak outside the Immortal Mist Sect, five unexpected visitors suddenly appeared.
They were the renowned Five Scorpion Demon Cultivators of the Black Sha Sect: Red Scorpion Master, Black Scorpion Master, Blue Scorpion Master, White Scorpion Master, and Green Scorpion Master.
These five Scorpion Demon Cultivators were notorious for their evil deeds and extensive killings.
Through their poisonous skills, they once slaughtered a dozen islands and killed countless people.
Their ferocity had echoed through the sea, reaching a level that could hush a child’s cries.
Furthermore, they were cultivators from the Black Sha Sect, backed by a Nascent Soul Sect.
Therefore, they acted without any fear, and ordinary cultivators couldn’t do anything about them.
“Is this the Immortal Mist Sect? The Spiritual Energy is so dense here. It’s at least a Third-Class, High-Grade Spirit Vein. Has this sect been this lucky to get such island from the Wuji Alliance?”
Red Scorpion Master was a bit surprised.
“The Wuji Alliance wouldn’t be so generous. After all, this is just a peripheral force. It’s considered good enough if they give an island with a third-class, low-grade Spirit Vein. The existence of a third-class, high-grade Spirit Vein here means that the Wuji Alliance must have overlooked it, and the vein’s level must be higher, or the Immortal Mist Sect’s Array Master is highly skilled, having elevated the density of Spiritual Energy here through formations.”
Black Scorpion Master said solemnly.
“Indeed, I heard that the Immortal Mist Sect has a third-class Array Master. It must be their masterpiece.”
“Luckily, the three Golden Core cultivators from Immortal Mist City have left.”
“Otherwise, how dare we invade the Immortal Mist Sect, which has a third-class formation?”
Blue Scorpion Master sneered.
“To be honest, are you sure there are no Golden Core cultivators left in Immortal Mist City?”
“We can’t afford to capsize in the gutter.”
White Scorpion Master asked cautiously.
“Do you still need to ask? Of course, it has been determined with certainty.”
“The Wuji Alliance headquarters issued a conscription order some time ago, calling away all Golden Core Masters from various islands.”
“This also included Immortal Mist City, where all three Golden Core Masters were called away.”
“This means the most powerful cultivator on this island is now at Foundation Establishment realm.”
“Even to be on the safe side, I contacted some of the spies in the Wuji Alliance.”
“They are also keeping an eye on those three Golden Core women, who are, indeed, carrying out tasks for the Wuji Alliance.”
“Unless they can teleport, they can’t possibly return to the Immortal Mist Sect.”
Green Scorpion Master spoke confidently.
He had naturally been very cautious about such a life-and-death matter and had utilized all kinds of intelligence networks.
“Excellent, excellent. If that’s the case, that’s great.”
“I’ve heard that Immortal Mist City is rich in top-quality Foundation Pills and third-class Spiritual Wine, and its population exceeds ten million.”
“Immortal Mist City can be described as accumulating wealth daily; its annual Spirit Stone revenue is so large that it’s practically dripping with riches.”
“Previously, they also spent a huge amount of Spirit Stones to purchase Heavy Water Crystals and Xuan Yin Crystals.”
“Just imagine how astonishing their wealth must be.”
“If we can plunder all the treasures from the Immortal Mist Sect’s treasury, we will have our resources to reach Nascent Soul.”
Red Scorpion Master’s eyes were filled with extreme greed.
In fact, these cultivators from the Black Sha Sect had long had their eyes on the rich Immortal Mist City.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Mist City had a fierce reputation previously, having defeated Blood Fiend and other Golden Core cultivators which deterred numerous robbing cultivators.
Moreover, with the shield of the third-class, high-grade formation, how dare they break in directly?
Unless a Nascent Soul cultivator took action, Immortal Mist City would be invincible.
But the situation was different now.
As the three Golden Core women from Immortal Mist City were called away by the Wuji Alliance, Immortal Mist City was now in disorder with only Foundation-building Cultivators’ combat power left. This was undeniably a great opportunity.
With the absence of any Golden Core cultivators guarding Immortal Mist City, they brazenly acted, raiding the treasury of the Immortal Mist Sect.
By the time those three Golden Core women knew about it, they would’ve already fled.
So, without hesitation, the five Golden Core Masters decided to take on this operation.
