Many demons grow rapidly by bathing in ancient demonic Qi.
Even some unintelligent demons, once they ingest ancient demonic Qi, become sentient and embark on the path of cultivation.
This is the origin of the Demon Clan.
"Exactly, this is the Demon Clan's plan to undermine our Cultivation World," somebody said.
"Frankly speaking, it wouldn't matter even if the Demon Clan takes over many of our islands. They are all part of the Cultivation World. Even if they occupy them for some time, we can recover them sooner or later."
"However, if we allow the malicious plan of the Demon Clan to succeed and let the ancient demonic Qi erode the Spirit Vein, the entire Canglan Sea's cultivation environment would turn completely upside down."
"At that time, if our human cultivators constantly consume ancient demonic Qi, we may also turn into demon folk, become Demon cultivators, or even lose our senses, being eroded by ancient demonic Qi, turning into wild beasts."
Daoist Unlimited clenched his teeth in anger.
He realized the malevolent nature of the Demon Clan's plan, which absolutely could not be allowed to come to fruition.
Otherwise, the human clan would be utterly doomed.
"Turn into Demon cultivators?"
"Rumor has it that the lifespans of Demon cultivators are longer than ours."
"If this really happens, won't there be cultivators who fuel the trend?"
"After all, if you turn into a Demon cultivator, it would effectively extend your lifespan."
Zhou Sui squinted, pointing this out.
He never doubted the inclinations of cultivators.
Especially those cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan, if they knew about this opportunity, they would likely not hesitate to turn into Demon cultivators and continue their pursuit of immortality.
"It's not that simple."
"Among us humans getting corrupted by ancient demonic Qi, only one in tens of thousands can truly become Demon cultivators."
"It's not to say that the higher one's cultivation, the higher the success rate."
"If there's an incompatibility, one would be possessed by the ancient demonic Qi, subsequently turning into a wild beast without any sense."
"So no cultivator would risk this."
"Of course, for the Demon Clan, they aren't particular about it, after all, the ones dying aren't Demon cultivators."
Daoist Unlimited shook his head.
After all, humans and the Demon Clan are inherently different clans; if one wants to transform into a demon, the price paid is great. Even if successful, there are powerful side effects.
"I heard that not only the Demon Clan, even the Demons, have polluted the Spirit Veins of the Cultivation World."
Zhou Sui suddenly thought of Immortal Mist Island.
Immortal Mist Island used to have a fourth-stage Spirit Vein, but due to the contamination of demonic Qi, the fourth-stage Spirit Vein was completely ruined, leading to the downgrade of Immortal Mist Island to third-stage standard.
Ever since, the Immortal Mist Island could never breed Nascent Soul cultivators again.
He felt Demons probably possess the same strength.
"Indeed, there was an invasion of the Ancient Demon Realm in the Ancient Era."
"Those Demons brought demonic Qi."
"Unquestionably, this demonic Qi is even more terrifying than ancient demonic Qi, and the degree of pollution to Spirit Veins is deeper."
"Once Spirit Veins get tainted with some demonic Qi, the entire Vein would completely fall apart."
"Why have almost all fifth-stage Spirit Veins in our Canglan Sea area disappeared?"
"It's because during the Demon disaster of the Ancient Era, their demonic Qi invaded into our Canglan Sea area's fifth-stage Spirit Veins."
"The result was predictable. To prevent the corrosion of demonic Qi and the entire Cultivation World from being eroded by demonic Qi, cultivators of the Ancient Era had no choice but to destroy the fifth-stage Spirit Veins."
"After all, no matter how formidable fight God Transformation cultivators put up, it's impossible to destroy every fifth-stage Spirit Vein."
"It is only because of demonic Qi's corruption that cultivators of the Ancient Era had to adopt this desperate measure."
Daoist Unlimited said helplessly, revealing a secret of the Ancient Era.
The reason why many fifth-stage Spirit Veins disappeared had nothing to do with any God Wars, but it was due to the contamination from demonic Qi.
One could say that the wounds from that war inflicted on the Cultivation World had yet to heal even until now.
"Don't only the Ancient Demon Realm and Demon Realm possess their unique original energy?"
"Don't we, the Cultivation World, have it?"
"Can't the power of our Cultivation World erode the Spirit Veins of other worlds?"
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes.
He believed that such a method can't be unique only to the Ancient Demon Realm and Demon Realm. The Cultivation World should have a similar method.
"We, the Cultivation World, of course have one."
"In fact, the Qi of Immortal Origin is our Cultivation World's unique original energy."
"During the Ancient Era, the Ancient Demon Realm wanted to contaminate our world's Spirit Veins using demonic Qi, but the God Transformation cultivators of our Cultivation World ended up invading the Demon Realm, spreading Immortal Origin Qi everywhere."
"As a result, many areas of the Demon Veins in the Ancient Demon Realm were completely ruined."
"Because of this, a great war broke out between God Transformation cultivators of the two realms."
"Later, neither side could claim victory and a peace agreement was signed."
"They agreed not to spread demonic Qi or Immortal Origin Qi in each other's world."
"After all, doing so would only lead to mutual destruction."
"But with the passage of time, it's clear that Demon cultivators of the Ancient Demon Realm have torn up this agreement."
Daoist Unlimited clenched his teeth in anger.
"But why would those Demon cultivators do this?"
"Even if real world-blending phenomena occur, it would only last three thousand years."
"Once the time is up, the two worlds will separate."
"This has absolutely no benefits for them; it's purely harmful and unprofitable."
Zhou Sui felt that it was meaningless for those Demon cultivators from the Ancient Demon Realm to do this—it was just a waste of time and effort.
