Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 154 Arming the Water Demon Clan

"Lord Zidong, you want us to merge with the Righteous Qi?!" Shui Ruoxin was also dumbfounded. The Water Demon Clan were also demon cultivators!
"If the Water Demon Clan can devour water, then they can devour all the power within it, and naturally, they can also devour righteous energy!"

Zi Dong smiled and said, "Besides, I can absolutely control the righteous energy, so what do you have to worry about?"

Shui Ruoxin was genuinely worried, but since Zi Dong had given such a guarantee, she would let the ten Water Demon Clan cultivators give it a try.

The ten Water Demon Clan cultivators ranged from one Qi Refining Realm to one Supreme Realm. Shui Ruoxin had considered everything very thoroughly, leaving no room for error.

Cultivators at all ten levels simultaneously attempt to integrate the Righteous Qi, with those of higher cultivation levels able to assist the others.

Although Zi Dong was unsure, he wasn't too worried because he could control the Righteous Qi, and if all else failed, he would have the Purple Qi from the East.

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to let the Void Breaking Realm Water Demon Clan cultivator try it first.

Supreme Realm cultivators are treasures of the Water Demon Clan and should not be tested lightly. Void Breaking Realm cultivators control space and have sufficient self-protection capabilities.

Zi Dong had the Void Breaking Realm cultivator sit cross-legged in front of him, and then had her condense a water sphere.

Although there is not a drop of water on the top of Blood Demon Mountain, it is still no problem for a Void Breaking Realm cultivator to condense a water sphere.

Zi Dong infused a wisp of righteous energy into the water sphere, and waited intently for the Void Breaking Realm cultivator to absorb it.

It was because of their righteous spirit that 100,000 Taoist cultivators fought their way from Tianshui City all the way to Blood Demon Mountain.

This Void Breaking Realm cultivator was very nervous. Although he had never fought against Righteous Qi before, he knew that Righteous Qi was the nemesis of demonic cultivators.

The Void Breaking Realm cultivator glanced at Shui Ruoxin, who was encouraging her, and then at Zi Dong, who looked relaxed. He could only grit his teeth and begin to devour the water sphere in front of him.

Originally, it was formed by himself. As soon as the Void Breaking Realm cultivator mobilized his true energy to absorb it, the water sphere directly merged into his true energy.

The Void Breaking Realm cultivator was startled and quickly mobilized more true energy, tightly enveloping the true energy fused with the water sphere as if facing a formidable enemy.

Zi Dong's divine sense, which was infused with that wisp of righteous energy, kept a close eye on the water sphere. Seeing the Void Breaking Realm cultivator's defensive stance as if facing a formidable enemy, he immediately controlled that wisp of righteous energy and carried the water sphere into the true energy.

"Ah!" The Void Breaking Realm cultivator screamed in fright and quickly mobilized more true energy to block that wisp of righteous energy.

"What are you afraid of!" Zi Dong shouted immediately, "The Righteous Qi hasn't purified your true energy, so hurry up and merge with it!"

"Ah?!" The Void Breaking Realm cultivator exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing that the true energy fused with the Righteous Qi was also her own!

Isn't this just seeing ghosts everywhere, or being paranoid about everything?!
Although the Void Breaking Realm cultivator had come to his senses, he remained extremely cautious, simultaneously deepening his integration with the Righteous Qi and mobilizing even more True Qi for defense.

Zi Dong didn't urge them any further. Tianshui City was protected by the Righteous Qi, and the Demon Clan wouldn't be able to take it down in a short time.

"Lord Zidong, is there a problem?!" Shui Ruoxin was very worried.

Although the Void Breaking Realm cultivator swallowed the water ball back, he didn't react much.

“She has already integrated with the righteous energy, but I’m a little worried. Let’s give her some more time,” Zi Dong said with a smile.

"So, Water Demon Clan cultivators can fuse with Righteous Qi?!" Shui Ruoxin found it unbelievable, but she was still very excited.

"Yes, it will definitely be able to fuse." Zi Dong nodded; he had already guessed that the problem was with the water.

The righteous energy originates from Taoism and has an absolute purifying effect on the true energy of cultivators from the demon, monster, and witch races.

However, the Water Demon Clan cultivators can devour water, which negates the purifying effect of the Righteous Qi.

In other words, the true energy of the Void Breaking Realm cultivator was protected by the water and was not purified by the righteous energy.

"Should we let the other cultivators merge as well?" Shui Ruoxin was worried that the demons would launch a large-scale attack on Tianshui City. "Let's wait until she finishes merging completely." Zi Dong pointed to the Void Breaking Realm cultivator who was merging and shook his head with a wry smile.

The Water Demon Clan cultivators were also filled with fear of righteous energy, and the other cultivators were probably just like this Void Breaking Realm Grand Cultivator.

Once the Void Breaking Realm cultivator finished merging without any problems, the other cultivators were relieved.

"Listen to the city lord." Ai Shang quickly stopped Shui Ruoxin when she saw that she was about to say something more.

Tianshui City is protected by righteous energy and is completely under Zi Dong's control, so it is not afraid of being attacked by the demons.

Moreover, Taoist cultivators are continuously being teleported from the Eastern Continent, and Zi Dong has already arranged for them to stay in Tianshui City.

It took the Void Breaking Realm cultivator the better part of a day to completely integrate that trace of righteous energy.

Shui Ruoxin asked a few simple questions, and then immediately had all the other cultivators merge with the Righteous Qi.

While helping other Water Demon Clan cultivators integrate Righteous Qi, Zi Dong also had Void Breaking Realm cultivators try using the integrated Righteous Qi to launch attacks.

"How do I attack?!" The Void Breaking Realm cultivator was like a three-year-old child, not knowing what to do.

"We'll condense a water arrow and infuse it with the righteous energy of fusion," Zi Dong explained patiently.

The Void Breaking Realm cultivator quickly nodded and then condensed a pale golden water arrow.

"Attack me." Seeing the Void Breaking Realm cultivator standing there dumbfounded and motionless, Zi Dong had no choice but to urge him on.

"Oh." The Void Breaking Realm cultivator hesitated before agreeing and then urging the pale golden water arrow to shoot towards Zi Dong.

"Hmm?!" Zi Dong frowned and casually conjured a golden sword, slicing the pale golden water arrow in half.

Its attack power is too weak; it can't compare to a Taoist cultivator who has integrated righteous energy. Even a cultivator at the Heavenly Profound Realm can block it.

However, Zi Dong quickly realized that the Water Demon Clan was still a demon clan after all, and how could they possibly unleash the full power of righteous energy?

After the Void Breaking Realm cultivator swallowed the two pieces of water arrow that were about to dissipate, Zi Dong focused on helping the other Water Demon Clan cultivators integrate their righteous energy.

Water Demon Clan cultivators only need to integrate Righteous Qi, because Righteous Qi can purify the true Qi of other demon races.

This is called the waxing and waning of power; with the help of righteous energy, the Water Demon Clan cultivators are able to suppress other demon clans.

With the example of the Void Breaking Realm cultivator, other Water Demon Clan cultivators successively integrated their Righteous Qi, and Shui Ruoxin also quickly completed the integration.

"Princess, once we return to Tianshui City, immediately have the Water Demon Clan cultivators cultivate. I will help them integrate the Righteous Qi," Zi Dong instructed.

"Lord Zidong, aren't you coming to Tianshui City with us?!" Shui Ruoxin asked in surprise.

“I can help them integrate right here,” Zi Dong said with a smile.

"Ruoxin, don't worry." Ai Shang quickly reassured Shui Ruoxin when he saw her hesitation.

From the teleportation array on the east coast of the Western Continent all the way to Blood Demon Mountain, the righteous spirit has laid out a golden road.

Zi Dong could easily control everything along this golden avenue, and Tianshui City was no exception.

Shui Ruoxin and Ai Shang led the Water Demon Clan cultivators back to Tianshui City quickly. After consulting with Shui Yun, they immediately instructed all the Water Demon Clan cultivators to begin cultivating.

Tianshui City was filled with Water Demon Clan cultivators sitting cross-legged. Shui Ruoxin was worried that Zi Dong would have difficulty controlling them remotely, so she had all the Water Demon Clan cultivators run out onto the street.
