Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 286 - 235: Departure! Ten Immortals City!

After the college entrance examinations were over, the Top Ten Preparatory Classes naturally disbanded as well.

Su Yuan and others, who originally belonged to Taihua City's local high school, also began a long holiday.

From June 10th, the end of the exams, until August 31st, before freshman registration at the university, Su Yuan and others could freely arrange their time.

June 11th, inside the Special Advancement Class of Taihua High School.

All the students from Taihua City who were admitted to the Ten Great Immortal Sects gathered here for the current college entrance exams.

Led by Su Yuan, nine students from the Top Ten Preparatory Classes, and ten regular candidates who met the Top Ten admission standards, were seated according to their exam rankings.

Taibai Phecda, standing on the podium, said slowly:

"As preparatory students of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, you have two choices during this holiday before the registration."

"First, you can choose to study freely or relax and entertain yourself until the holiday ends. Alternatively, you can enter the University City of the Ten Great Immortal Sects in advance and experience the university atmosphere."

"If you choose the latter, I happen to be returning to the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, and you can come with me."

Upon hearing Taibai Phecda's words, many students were tempted.

The University City of the Ten Great Immortal Sects is not a tightly guarded, closed city at all.

On the contrary, it is the most prosperous super first-tier city of the Blue Star Federation, based on ten university cities, gradually developing and growing with no equal.

Countless sect headquarters and resident merchants and vendors reside there.

This University City also has an official name externally, called the Ten Immortals City.

It is unknown whether this Ten Immortals City is an abbreviation for the University City of the Ten Great Immortal Sects or if it has some other meaning.

However, due to the prosperity of the Ten Immortals City and the concentration of resources in all aspects, while it is fine for the average person to visit as a tourist, wanting to settle down long-term tests one's economic capability considerably.

As for the benefits of settling in the Ten Immortals City?

There are so many, you could hardly count them all.

For a sect, the Ten Immortals City is teeming with talent where you can casually throw a brick and hit three to five rare geniuses not seen in a decade.

So long as your sect is attractive enough, graduates and interns from the Ten Great Immortal Sects will continuously flow into the sect, greatly promoting its development.

To ordinary vendors, the consumption power of students and residents in Ten Immortals City is enough to let them easily earn a full load of profits.

Of course, the premise is that they can withstand the pressure of housing rent and industry competition.

For the preparatory students of the Ten Great Immortal Sects like Su Yuan, the biggest advantage of entering the Ten Immortals City early is naturally...

The chance to meet and mingle with upperclassmen, even professors and mentors, allowing them to accumulate a network in advance.

Immediately, six regular exam candidates raised their hands, indicating their desire to enter the Ten Immortals City early.

Even Xiao Kong and other preparatory class students were inevitably tempted.

"Su Yuan, should we go to the Ten Immortals City?"

Chen Nuoyi, sitting beside Su Yuan, tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

Su Yuan was also pondering.

The foundation of the Primordial Sect is rooted in Taihua City.

If in the nearly three months ahead, he focused wholeheartedly on expanding the Primordial Sect's territory, he might expand its influence to surrounding cities, generating greater returns.

However, entering the Ten Immortals City in advance means abandoning the foundation and starting anew with his team.

But the benefits of this choice were also very clear.

The market in Ten Immortals City was undoubtedly over ten times larger than Taihua City!

Once established in the Ten Immortals City, it would be equivalent to conquering three or four ordinary cities.

What should he choose?

While Su Yuan was momentarily indecisive, a "ding" suddenly rang in his ear. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

[Your long-standing filial piety has finally earned further trust from the Taibai Sword Demon. He has decided to take you into the holy lands of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, allowing you to join the plan to overthrow the Ten Great Immortal Sects.]

The dog system is talking nonsense again.

This trip to the Ten Immortals City is for all the top ten preparatory students, not a special treat for me!

And that business about overthrowing the Ten Great Immortal Sects—myself and Teacher Taibai have never even considered it.

Can't you stop randomly adding main quests?

[The Ten Great Immortal Sects have deep roots. Even if you and the Taibai Sword Demon join forces, it is impossible to overturn them in one fell swoop.]

[But you have prepared for a long-lasting war, like slowly developing the Primordial Sect's power right under the noses of the Ten Great Immortal Sects and accumulating strength.]

[Meanwhile, stealthily allow the Primordial Sect to gradually interact with the core circles of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, slowly corrupting without detection.]

[Demon Task Updated!]

[Task: Bone-clinging Maggots (In Progress)]

[Lead the cadres of the Primordial Sect to establish a headquarters in the Ten Immortals City, and lead the Primordial Sect to become a sub-sect of any of the Ten Great Immortal Sects!]

[This will be your first step in corrupting the Ten Great Immortal Sects.]

[Task Progress: Affiliate with Immortal Sect (0/1)]

[Task Reward: Holy Sect Blood Sacrifice Array Map*1]

The target of the task is surprisingly… becoming a sub-sect of the Top Ten?

This indeed took Su Yuan by surprise, leaving him quite speechless.

The dog system really overestimates him.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects are not merely universities; the universities are just training institutions under their jurisdiction.

The real Ten Great Immortal Sects are ten mega-corporations enveloping the entire Blue Star Federation, with industries reaching the most fundamental layers of the Federation.

Take the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect, for example.

All veterinary hospitals, breeding bases, and numerous industries related to Spirit Beasts throughout the Blue Star Federation require approval from the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect to be established.

The influence of the other nine Immortal Sects in their corresponding industries is almost equivalent to that of the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect in the Spirit Beast industry.

As for imagining the difficulty of becoming an affiliated sect of such superpowers, Su Yuan dared not contemplate it.

And what's up with the name of this task, "Maggots on the Bones"? What a joke!

Does it mean that the Ten Great Immortal Sects are dirty after sticking with the Primordial Sect?

Is the Primordial Sect really that unbearable?

And then there's this task reward.

The words "Blood Sacrifice Array" are blatantly there, without even trying to hide it!

How does one even perform a blood sacrifice?

I ask you, how does a law-abiding cultivation society perform a blood sacrifice?

You definitely can't perform a blood sacrifice on people.

If it's a blood sacrifice of spirit beasts... although the Primordial Sect uses a large amount of spirit beast materials, squeezing a part out should still be possible.

Let's see how it goes.

Su Yuan abruptly closed the task panel, deciding to head to Ten Immortals City during the holidays.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the system task.

It's entirely a personal decision.

Staying in the comfort zone of Taihua City isn't bad, but...

Building the Primordial Sect Headquarters in Ten Immortals City would be much broader and freeing.

Just as Su Yuan decided to head to Ten Immortals City, other people from the Preparatory Class, along with candidates like Wu Xingqi and Zhang Jun, also made their decisions.

Heading to Ten Immortals City!

Previously, they hesitated for fear of being isolated and bullied by the locals if they went alone.

But if Su Yuan is going...

It's hard to say who will bully whom.

Perhaps it won't be long before Ten Immortals City witnesses the darkness of the Primordial Sect!

After all students agreed unanimously, Taibai Phecda nodded slightly:

"I plan to depart in three days. Prepare in the meantime, and this meeting is adjourned."

All the students acknowledged in unison and went off to attend to their affairs.

For Su Yuan, the most important thing is the arrangement for the Primordial Sect in Taihua City.

Once he and the core members leave, someone needs to hold the fort and manage the Primordial Sect.

Should it be Zhu Tianqing, one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings?

No way.

Not to mention her extreme mindset unsuitable for management, she definitely won't be around since she's due to report to the Ten Great Immortal Sects by August 30th.

You can't just pick a new manager last minute.

After much thought, Su Yuan thought of two suitable candidates.

One is the Dragon King dad of Chen Nuoyi.

He's a Master Golden Core who pretends to be laid-back but is truly a True Dragon King. Although he doesn't need to handle daily affairs, during crucial times when outside Demon Sect forces invade, he can definitely hold the fort.

Despite encountering many Master Golden Cores, making Golden Core Great Cultivators seem common,

in reality, Taihua City, with its population of several million, has less than ten permanent Master Golden Cores.

There isn't even a single Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Even with this, Taihua City is rated as a second-tier city in the Federation, showing how rare Master Golden Cores are.

The other candidate is the true manager of the Primordial Sect in Taihua City.

He is part of the Primordial Sect, known as the Black Labor Sect Leader, Song Mountain, at Foundation Establishment Peak.

Whether in terms of strength or character, Song Mountain is perfectly suited to be a stable manager.

Entrusting such an important responsibility to Song Mountain is also due to trust in him.

After recruiting the Black Labor Sect, Su Yuan had curiously asked Song Mountain, a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator in his prime, why he was mixing with a bunch of Qi Cultivation Stage laborers.

The answer surprised Su Yuan.

It turns out Song Mountain is the protagonist of an inspiring story.

He was born in a village under Taihua City's jurisdiction and grew up in poverty but through hard work, he was admitted to the Star River Dao Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and graduated successfully.

With his genius, good jobs were naturally at his doorstep.

But he didn't choose to join a sect; instead, he dedicated himself to helping the laborers at the bottom in Taihua City, known as the Black Laborers, and he has been at it for over a decade.

Su Yuan doesn't have the qualifications to judge Song Mountain's actions as right or wrong, but he is indeed a person worthy of respect and trust.

Entrusting the management of the Primordial Sect to him, overseeing production, is definitely no issue.

Moreover, Su Yuan is only going to Ten Immortals City for training, not that he won't come back.

After some time, he'll naturally return to Taihua City during vacation.

And as long as the Primordial Sect Headquarters in Ten Immortals City is established and grows, would the branch in Taihua City even dare to rebel?

After arranging the Primordial Sect properly, Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and their old classmates from Taihua High School gathered for a farewell party.

As for familiar friends like Wu Xingqi, Zhang Jun, and Taibai Yuxi who were heading to Ten Immortals City together, there's no need for formality.

After all, they can still meet in Ten Immortals City.

They might even take the opportunity to join the Primordial Sect Headquarters.

But on the final evening, Su Yuan specially went to say goodbye to Zhu Tianqing.

The farewell was just an excuse; the real reason was to absorb the demonic qi from her.

After extracting all the demonic qi from the Saintess Zhu, another flower bloomed on Su Yuan's Senluo Spirit Root Tree Crown.

The second Golden Apple will soon be ripe.

Three days later, Su Yuan, along with the top ten preparatory students, met with Taibai Phecda and officially embarked on their journey to Ten Immortals City.
