Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 604 - 572: Underground Cultivation Realm

The Divine Demon Sect’s affiliation with the Demon Sect, as far as Lu Ping is concerned, is almost certainly true.

As for this elder of the Divine Demon Sect, his appearance in this abyss is because he survived as a remnant of the outer realm demons hundreds of years ago and followed several other outer realm demons into an underground world within Lingxi State.

Back then, the founder of the Demon Cave Sect’s ancestor stumbled upon the existence of this abyss by chance and eventually reached a consensus with the opposing party after multiple negotiations.

The benefits the Demon Cave gained from the outer realm demons, such as the Blood-Transforming Demon Saber and the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, were learned from the outer realm demons, as far as Lu Ping knew.

Moreover, Lu Ping was most intrigued by a cultivation technique named Black Demon Blood.

This cultivation technique originated from the Divine Demon Sect, and according to the elder of the Divine Demon Sect, it is an inheritance technique of the sect that, once cultivated, can result in excellent cultivation outcomes.

The Demon Cave Master, Blood Demon Ancestor, and Ling Baisha, all three, cultivated this Black Demon Blood, which enabled their rapid growth and achievement of three Golden Core demons, establishing Demon Cave as the number one demonic force in the Chu Kingdom.

"Black Demon Blood..."

Regarding the specific cultivation steps of this cultivation technique, Lu Ping gained a clear understanding while reading the Demon Cave Master’s memories.

Cultivating Black Demon Blood requires using an item called Blood Crystal.

The means to obtain Blood Crystal involve slaughtering cultivator creatures, extracting their essence blood for manufacturing—it is an outright demonic method.

Although cultivating Black Demon Blood can expedite the advancement of cultivation, its side effects are equally apparent.

Delving deeply into cultivating Black Demon Blood will gradually demonize the cultivator into a cold killing machine, devoid of humanity.

This was something Lu Ping had anticipated.

As for the elder of the Divine Demon Sect, the benefits he wanted from trading with the Demon Cave were not clear.

Just now, the Golden Core Horned Demon asked Lu Ping if he had brought the items he wanted; Lu Ping now knew what those items referred to.

There were two things, one called Cold Water True Crystal, which is a Tier Five refining material.

What the Golden Core Horned Demon needed this Cold Water True Crystal for, Lu Ping did not know, because even within the Demon Cave Master’s memories, its purpose was not revealed.

Artifact refining?

The specific use can only be discovered later on.

Another item named Nine-leaf Sword Grass.

Lu Ping had heard of Nine-leaf Sword Grass for the first time; he did not know what it specifically was, only recognizing its appearance while reading the Demon Cave Master’s memories and confirming its existence in the world.

Notably, beneath this abyss was not just the Golden Core Horned Demon but also more than ten Horned Demons ranging from Foundation Establishment to Crystallization Stage.

These Horned Demons also came from the underground.

Regarding this underground world, Lu Ping’s curiosity was piqued.

During his lifetime, while wandering outside, he had heard rumors of an underground cultivation realm beneath the mainland.

It is said that the level of cultivation civilization there is no less than that of mainland cultivation realm.

However, these two distinctly different cultivation realms have somewhat different cultivation systems.

Moreover, the creatures living in the underground cultivation realm are not led by the human race but more often by mysterious creatures.

Lu Ping knows little about this underground cultivation realm; much is hearsay.

Currently, having once again learned about the underground cultivation realm from the Demon Cave Master’s memories, Lu Ping fell into contemplation.

Would the appearance of outer realm demons in the underground cultivation realm indicate that these demons have started infiltrating Jiuzhou World?

Originally, to resist the invasion of outer realm demons, Beidou Bureau led various cultivation forces and great divine power users to expel the outer realm demons back to their world and seal the gap between the two realms.

This matter is a secret, known basically only to Golden Core level or higher cultivators or forces, and Lu Ping has never mentioned it to his children.

The gap between the two realms located in the Demon Abyss was mentioned in the notes and testament left by Zhao Hanyun when she passed on her legacy; at that time, Lu Yuanshan inquired about the Demon Abyss matter, and Lu Ping did not respond, not revealing the truth.

The existence of the Demon Abyss is not something cultivators of Lu Yuanshan’s level can know.

Standing before this abyss, Lu Ping paused in thought, considering exploring to the bottom, possibly reaching the underground cultivation realm through it.

However, Lu Ping quickly abandoned this idea.

Given the likelihood of Golden Core level demon cultivators appearing in this abyss, and possibly even Nascent Soul Stage demons, this place is certainly dangerous!

His current resurrection time is limited, so it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble and not proceed down.

At least, after reverting to the state of a consciousness body, he would have the advantage in exploration, making it much safer.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping decided to temporarily seal this abyss, to prevent the outer realm demons from escaping and causing misfortune in the world.

He brushed his palm over the storage bag, retrieving an array from within, preparing to set it up here.

This array, named Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Array, is Tier Six Lower Grade, capable of trapping several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

This array was acquired by Lu Ping when he killed a Golden Core demon cultivator and has been stored in the storage bag ever since.

Today, it finally comes into play.

With Lu Ping’s actions, the array patterns began to coalesce swiftly in this place.

A grand array was thus established.

The outer realm demons in the abyss watched Lu Ping set up the array, although dissatisfied and wanting to resist, they were no match for Lu Ping and could only concede without daring to show themselves.

As Lu Ping stood before this abyss, Lu Yuanshan and Liu Qiumei soon arrived at Lu Ping’s location to report basic information about the Demon Cave, what had been explored, and what cultivation resources had been discovered and left behind.

Not only within the Demon Cave’s sect’s treasury, where cultivation resources were stored, but also in other places.

After hearing this, Lu Ping said nothing, just that using these resources left by the demon cultivators required careful attention, ensuring the demonic qi within the resources were purified.

Following the downfall of the Demon Cave, eradicated by Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Ping neither lingered here, taking Lu Yuanshan and the others away on a flying ship, temporarily leaving the abyss.

Around the abyss, there were forces observing.

These forces, such as the Heaven-Facing Sect, Dubhe Institute, and other cultivation forces around the Black Wind Mountain Range.
