Practice begins with immortality

The Demon Blood Sect's main hall had been decorated incomparably luxuriously at this point, but the strange thing was that most of these decorations were black or red, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

Outside the hall, there were several figures emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura. The powerful aura they exuded was terrifying. These people were all Nascent Soul cultivators, and their strength was unfathomable.

"Fellow Daoist Xuehun, you are here too. And these fellow Daoists have also come to show our support." An old man in a yellow robe said with a smile.

"Since Fellow Daoist Shengxue invited us personally, we naturally have to give him face." Several people spoke at the same time.

Then, Xuehun looked at a young man with a gloomy expression and a murderous aura and said, "This must be the protagonist of this ceremony, Fellow Daoist Wan Mingwan. Congratulations."

"However, it has probably been several decades since Fellow Daoist Wan broke through the Nascent Soul stage. Why is the Nascent Soul Ceremony being held only now?" Xuehun asked curiously.

Hearing this, the young man smiled and explained, "Daoist Xuehun really has an exceptional eye!"

"In fact, it has been almost seventy years since I broke through the Nascent Soul stage." The young man said slowly, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"The reason why the Nascent Soul Ceremony was not held was, on the one hand, because I did not achieve the breakthrough within the sect, and on the other hand, I was busy with a spiritual material at that time in order to refine my life-defining magic weapon."

"Oh?" Hearing this answer, everyone couldn't help but feel very curious, and asked one after another: "With your sect's profound heritage, you should have sufficient spiritual materials to refine magic weapons. Fellow Daoist Wan, what kind of spiritual materials are you looking for? And what kind of magic weapon do you want to refine?"

"Haha." The young man laughed heartily and said, "Have you ever heard of the Filthy Spirit Wood?"

"Filthy spirit wood?" Upon hearing this name, some people couldn't help but exclaimed, "But is it the kind of spirit wood that grows in extremely filthy places?" They all showed expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Exactly," he replied with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you are so lucky!" The man said with envy, "It is said that magic weapons made with this material as the main material have the innate ability to defile the magic power of other magic weapons."

"Yes, I also got a small piece in my early years, but it could only be used as a supplementary material at best. But the piece you got can actually be used as the main material. I am really envious."

"Haha, I just accidentally got a secret method of cultivating the evil spirit wood in my early years." He smiled proudly.

"Oh? Could you please explain in detail what this secret method is?" the man asked curiously.

"It's very simple. As long as you raise women with Yin spiritual roots in a dark and evil place from a young age, then when they grow up, you can use their blood to water the evil spiritual tree to speed up its growth." He explained slowly.

"So that's how it is. However, baby girls with Yin spiritual roots are quite rare!" The man frowned.

"Indeed, but it's still possible to find it if you really want to. The real trouble is that the person will die while the blood is being drawn, but fortunately, if the body is used as fertilizer, although the effect is a little worse, it is still useful." He sighed.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have spent so much time to successfully cultivate this treasure." He said with emotion.

"Haha, it's only seventy years. If we go into seclusion once, it will take us a hundred years at least," one of them joked.

"That's absolutely right." Everyone agreed.

At this moment, the yellow-robed old man said, "By the way, everyone, our sect now also has two Yuanying-stage cultivators in charge."

"And my junior fellow disciple is also a cultivator who is proficient in fighting techniques. He also has a magical weapon made from filthy spirit wood. His magical powers are no weaker than mine, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

"In this case, it's time to expand our territory."

The old man spoke slowly, watching everyone's reactions as he spoke.

"Well... having said that, the territory was divided a long time ago. Where is the extra territory to be distributed now?" someone said with difficulty.

The territory they are talking about does not refer to the territory of the sect, but to the territorial scope of the secular world.

Unlike other regions, cultivators and mortals in Xizhou are separated from each other. This is because for demon cultivators, humans themselves are also an important cultivation resource.

Mortal souls, bones, blood, and so on can all be used as cultivation resources for low-level demon cultivators. At the same time, low-level demon cultivators themselves can also become a resource to be utilized by high-level demon cultivators.

In short, the mortals in Xizhou are eaten by low-level demon cultivators, and low-level demon cultivators are eaten by higher-level demon cultivators.

As for those high-level demon cultivators, they might also be eaten by the three powerful gods in the spirit transformation stage.

In addition, most of the good spiritual veins and blessed lands in the Xizhou cultivation world are occupied by the three major forces of transformation, so the remaining sects can only fight for territory in the secular world.

At this moment, Xuehun said, "My fellow Daoists, I do know of a few territories worth fighting for."

"Are you serious, fellow Daoist?!" Everyone on the scene suddenly became excited.

The reason is simple: these people lack resources.

The majority of the resources in the Western Continent cultivation world were taken up by the three major factions. This also led to the faction outside of the three major factions being weak.

Wang Bo's exploration of the Demonic Demon Sect's ruins on the Tianjing Plains revealed records of three Nascent Soul cultivators. However, historically, the Demonic Demon Sect was merely a small faction hunkered down in the Tianjing Plains. The Demon Blood Sect was even inferior to the Demonic Demon Sect, let alone other factions.
