Chapter 626: Chapter 225: Witch Cultivator (3)

"Mr. Duan, have you ever seen demons? Are they really that formidable?" the delicate young woman on the left curiously asked.

"I have."

"Demons aren’t very powerful, but the evil aura they emit poses a tremendous threat to us."

"Before reaching Foundation Establishment, even if we can slay demons, we will still be corrupted by their evil Demon Essence."

Duan Shengda laughed and said, "This time I’m just bringing you all here for some experience. If a time-space node appears, you must leave immediately."

"And what about you, senior brother?"

"Will you also leave with us, senior brother?" the girl on the left asked with wide eyes.

"I am a Foundation Establishment expert. If a time-space node truly appears, I must stay to slay demons and eradicate evil."

"At that time, Wo Yi, you will lead the other junior brothers and sisters back." Duan Shengda looked at the young man named Wo Yi and said.

If Lin Zheyu were here, he would recognize this young man as the one in the tent who had shown him malice.

"Alright, senior brother."

"Senior brother, it’s been a while since I’ve been active. I’ll go kill a few demon puppets to practice," Wo Yi laughed mischievously.

"Senior Brother Wo, I want to go too."

"I want to go too, I want to go too."

"Count me in!"

The others, hearing this, showed a hint of excitement in their eyes, eager for Wo Yi to take them along.

"That won’t do."

"You’ve only just joined the Sect, and your Spiritual Energy isn’t pure enough yet."

"The Yin Evil Force in this area is much denser than elsewhere, and it’s easy for you to be polluted by it."

Wo Yi smiled, ruffling the hair of the youngest junior sister.

"Why isn’t it pure enough? I’m already at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer!" the girl, who was being patted, snapped Wo Yi’s arm away, grumbling.

"Exactly, I’m at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, and we’re much stronger than those so-called Martial Artists," another young man chimed in.

"That’s different."

"Those martial artists earlier were weak, but they lack the innate ability for cultivation and haven’t opened the Bridge Between Heaven and Earth to communicate with it."

"Thus, their bodies are the best barrier against the Yin Evil Force and Demon Essence without worrying about corrosion from it."

"But your talent is too strong; the faster you absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, the more susceptible you are to the Yin Evil Force’s corrosion."

Duan Shengda smiled and explained. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He was very patient and gentle with these younger junior brothers and sisters, much like a big brother next door.

"Alright, alright, let’s stop fooling around."

"If you continue like this, next time I’ll tell Senior Brother Duan not to bring any of you out, not listening to your senior brother’s words."

Wo Yi put on a stern face and said seriously.

"Got it, I won’t go anymore."

"Since we can’t go there, let’s play in Wuling City."

"Staying in the blessed land is so boring; it’s just cultivation after cultivation, boring to death," the youngest girl complained softly.

Soon, the group left the camp heading toward Wuling City.

Duan Shengda had other matters to attend to and didn’t accompany them; after leaving the camp, he headed in a different direction.

Wo Yi did the same.

With a light tap of his toe, he soared into the air, leaping toward the forest.

"That person just now is the one Mr. Fan mentioned, someone with a special destiny, isn’t it?"

"Lin Zheyu, 51 years old, ranked 24th on the Hidden Dragon List, possessing Bone Marrow Refining Realm abilities."

"Hehe, he’s hidden very deeply!"

Wo Yi’s lips curled into a peculiar smile.

He thought Lin Zheyu might just be a competent Martial Artist whom he could lure into the mountain for others to handle.

Wo Yi’s identity didn’t suit direct action; any slip-up would expose him.

But he never expected things to be so interesting.

"A Bone Marrow Refining Realm Martial Artist with strengths comparable to a Grandmaster, haha..."

"This kid harbors many secrets. I can’t let others take action; I must capture him myself and first unravel his secrets."

Wo Yi thought to himself.

To be acknowledged by the Hidden Dragon List indicates the person is under 60, has not condensed true strength, nor practiced Spiritual Energy.

According to Wo Yi’s knowledge, Cultivators cannot be detected by the Hidden Dragon Order nor make the Hidden Dragon List.

"No true strength, no Spiritual Energy, yet possessing power comparable to a Grandmaster Martial Artist."

"Could it be that this kid has acquired the legacy of the Witch Race?"

Wo Yi speculated.

In ancient times, the path of immortality was highly flourishing; aside from immortal cultivation, there were the Witch Race, Demon Race, Buddhism, and other powerful factions.

The Witch Race was a human branch.

Like Cultivators, they are humans transformed after practicing a special cultivation technique.

However, the difficulty of practicing witchcraft was high. It flourished for a while but gradually declined and vanished over time due to its complexity.

Later, the world changed drastically, leading to the decline of immortality, with the Demon Race and Buddhism heavily damaged, while the few remaining Witch cultivators rose in prominence.

Compared to other cultivation systems, the Witch cultivation was the least affected by the drastic world change.

However, in subsequent battles, demons, discovering the specifics of witch cultivation, launched frenzied assassinations against them.

Almost like losing 800 enemies while damaging 3,000 of themselves.

Leading to the successive fall of powerful witch cultivators, the lineage was cut off, leaving only fragmented witch heritage.

"Aside from the witch heritage acquired by Great Wei, there are still many undiscovered witch heritages in the world."

"Perhaps, that kid truly is a witch cultivator."

With that thought, Wo Yi became excited.

If he could obtain the witch heritage and successfully transform into a witch cultivator, he wouldn’t have to entangle with those cults, negotiating with the tiger.
