At the same time, at the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
Cultivators from various Nascent Soul Sects of the entire Southern Continent gathered here.
One after another, Nascent Souls converged.
Because they also knew that the resurgence of demons and the Demon Sect this time was unprecedented.
If these demons are not eliminated, it will be a catastrophe for all Righteous Dao sects.
The reason they gathered here, of course, was because the Profound Celestial Sword Sect was the closest to the Mist Mountain Range.
This place also served as the front line of the war.
"After so many years, these demons have indeed made a comeback."
"It’s unavoidable—these Demon Cultivators and demons cannot be killed off completely."
"No matter what, we absolutely cannot allow these Demon Cultivators to run rampant, or else we are doomed."
"But what exactly is going on with these Demon Cultivators? Why have they suddenly become so brazen? Could it be that they really have the power to defeat us?"
"Perhaps among these Demon Cultivators, someone has advanced to Divinity Transformation, hence their rampant behavior."
"Impossible. We have monitored the entire Southern Continent. If someone had really advanced to Divinity Transformation, we would have known."
"That’s correct. Currently, there’s no hope of advancing to Divinity Transformation on the Southern Continent, not even for the Demon Cultivators."
"No, no, no. Maybe it was like that before, but haven’t you noticed? The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth is reviving. The concentration of Spiritual Qi on the Southern Continent is also increasing, possibly bringing hope for advancing to Divinity Transformation."
"Heh, given the arrogant nature of these Demon Cultivators, if a Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivator had truly emerged, they would have already attacked us outright, rather than engaging in such bluster."
"They definitely haven’t produced a Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivator. The reason they’re making such a fuss is likely to cover up something; perhaps a Demon Cultivator is secretly advancing to Divinity Transformation."
"This is why we need to unite—to find that Demon Cultivator who is about to advance and stop them, or else it will be our doom."
A variety of Nascent Soul Cultivators discussed this intensely, their expressions very grave.
They were not fools; they knew there was something fishy about this sudden large-scale attack from the Demon Cultivators.
It might be to create momentum, to cover for other Demon Cultivators advancing.
The issue is, the Southern Continent is so vast, they don’t know which Demon Cultivator plans to advance to Divinity Transformation.
It can be said that this is entirely the open strategy of the Demon Cultivators, aiming to hinder their actions.
Creating opportunities for other Demon Cultivators to advance to Divinity Transformation.
"By the way, what about the Purple Fire Daoist from the Shennong Sect? Why haven’t they come to attend the meeting?"
One Nascent Soul Cultivator asked.
After all, such an important meeting without the presence of Shennong Sect cultivators was indeed unusual.
"Oh, the Purple Fire Daoist and others seem to be refining a furnace of Tier Five Elixir at their Sect."
"They’re at a crucial moment and cannot leave."
"Once they successfully refine this elixir, they will come over."
"It will probably take another three to four days."
The Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect explained.
He had previously sent a disciple to the Shennong Sect and received a reply from the Sect Leader, the Purple Fire Daoist.
"A Tier Five Elixir? No wonder it’s the Shennong Sect; their alchemy skills have reached Tier Five level?"
"If they become a Tier Five Alchemist, they’ll be the top alchemist of the Southern Continent, right?"
"Heh, the Purple Fire Daoist is almost at the end of his Lifespan. Even if he becomes a Tier Five Alchemist, he won’t live much longer, will he?"
"At the very least, in his final days, he might manage to refine a few furnaces of Tier Five Elixirs, and by then, we can all benefit."
"Three or four days isn’t that long; let’s wait for now and hope those Demon Cultivators don’t attack too soon."
The Nascent Soul Cultivators continued to discuss.
But they didn’t find the absence of the Purple Fire Daoist strange. After all, refining a Tier Five Elixir was a big deal, and taking a few days was normal.
Moreover, it was only a matter of days; they could wait.
......
Three days later.
Southern Continent, Shennong Sect.
The entire Sect was wrapped in a Grand Array, surrounded tightly by an energy barrier, with countless mysterious runes floating. Cultivators outside couldn’t see what was happening inside.
If they could see, they’d be shocked.
Because the Shennong Sect, originally filled with Immortal Qi, had now turned into a Ghost Realm.
The pitch-black earth was corroded by blood, becoming soil condensed from fresh blood.
As if countless resentful souls were being nurtured deep within the earth.
Several Demon Cultivators in black robes appeared, stationed throughout the Shennong Sect.
The original Sect Leader of the Shennong Sect, the Purple Fire Daoist, was in the deepest part undergoing seclusion cultivation, intending to charge at Divinity Transformation.
"Haha, who would’ve thought the Sect Leader of the Shennong Sect, Purple Fire Daoist, would become one of us Demon Cultivators? If this got out, it would surely shake the entire Cultivation Realm of the Southern Continent."
"Originally, the Purple Fire Daoist was a rather high-minded person, having killed countless Demon Cultivators. But facing death, he got scared, turned to the Demon Dao, and cultivated a Demon Technique. These Righteous Cultivators are just hypocritical."
"That’s right. Previously, they spoke high-sounding words about protecting the people, but these Righteous Cultivators have killed far more ordinary people than we Demon Cultivators ever did."
"Indeed. They pursue the Dao regardless of Righteous or Demon path. As long as one can become Immortal, who cares about being human or demon?"
