Practice begins with immortality

After returning to the South China Sea, Wang Bai first found a quiet place, where he practiced in seclusion, trying to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

After successfully breaking through, Wang Bai began to wander around the South China Sea. However, what he saw before him was truly disheartening.

The once prosperous South Seas now lay in ruins. The once abundant spiritual energy was gone, replaced by a thin, bloody aura. This made the atmosphere throughout the South Seas seem particularly oppressive and eerie.

The seawater has become murky and lifeless. Ruins can be seen on islands large and small, some completely deserted, becoming veritable desert islands. These scenes are filled with immense desolation and sadness.

Faced with such a tragic scene, even Wang Bai, who had experienced countless hardships, could not help but sigh: "The number of lives devoured by that giant whale must be at least tens of millions. It is truly like purgatory!"

Afterwards, Wang Bai released his spiritual consciousness and searched the South China Sea with all his strength.

Now that the disaster was over, monks would surely arrive in the South China Sea. Wang Bai planned to learn about the current situation from them.

Half a day later, after searching, Wang Bai finally found the traces of other monks.

"There's a monastic camp on a small island four hundred miles ahead, perfect for that."

Wang Bai used the Wind Escape Technique and arrived near the island in a few breaths. He then used the Sky Hidden Technique to gather his energy and hide his figure to sneak into the camp.

"The cultivators in this camp are actually all demon cultivators. The skills they practice are strange, but they are from the same lineage." After investigating the situation in the camp, Wang Bai said with a frown.

"It looks like a demon sect from Xiyunzhou, but I don't know if it's from the Ten Thousand Demons Palace."

……

Inside the largest tent in the camp.

I saw three men in black robes talking to each other.

"Two junior brothers," one of the black-robed men said to the other two, "You've been here with this group of disciples for a year now, yet how come you've only managed to condense this little Sha Dan?"

"You should know that the task of condensing the Sha Dan was jointly ordered by the elders in charge of each clan, which shows its importance."

"Right now, the elders are focusing their main energy on searching for Kunpeng's aura and are too busy to spare any time. But this doesn't mean that you two can line your pockets." The man in black robe said sarcastically.

Hearing this, the other two black-robed men hurriedly explained, "Please understand, Senior Brother, even if we were given ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to do anything about this!"

"The reason for the gap is that the cultivation method practiced by the disciples of this lineage does not belong to the evil spirit category, and the progress in condensing the evil pill is too slow."

"Haha, do you two really think I don't understand?" the black-robed man asked them, "Besides you two Jindan disciples, there are over 800 Foundation Establishment disciples in this camp."

"It takes ten disciples more than half a month to condense a single Sha Dan. Even if your lineage is slow at condensing Sha Dan, it will at most take twice as long. In a year, you should be able to condense at least seven or eight hundred Sha Dan."

"Now you tell me that you can't hand over the share of 650? Do you think I'm a fool?" The man in black robe said with a sneer.

Seeing that they couldn't hide it any longer, the two men gritted their teeth and said, "Brother, we are here for cultivation, please show some mercy."

"As long as Senior Brother is willing to let us go, the two of us are willing to hand over 30% of the Sha Dan."

Hearing this, the man in black robe said with some amusement: "Haha, these are stolen goods!"

The two men understood what he meant and immediately took out a storage bag, saying, "We hit it off right away and had a great time chatting with our senior brother. We're offering you a small gift to help you on your path to immortality."

"Haha, why do you have to do this, two junior brothers?" After seeing the storage bag, the man laughed and took the things.

Afterwards, the man said, "As for the Sha Dan, it was because the camp was looted by an unknown Jindan cultivator, resulting in the deaths of many disciples, which affected the condensation of the Sha Dan."

"Those two brothers fought tooth and nail to kill that cultivator, but they still lost a significant number of disciples. To prove the above facts, you two brothers will later hand over that cultivator's golden core, the remains of some of the disciples, and their identity tokens."

At this point, the man smiled and said, "Do you think this is correct?"

The two men hurriedly said, "Yes, that's right. But it's a waste of your trouble, Senior Brother."

"Haha, how can we be afraid of trouble when we have a mission for the sect?" After saying that, the three of them laughed.

At this moment, someone said quietly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you guys later."

"Please offer up your entire spiritual energy." Before he finished speaking, countless blood-red sword energies burst out, instantly killing all the cultivators on the island.
