8: Forget your roots?

As soon as he landed, Chu Mo circulated his Cultivation Technique, carefully sensing his surroundings. "There's plenty of resentment and blood Qi, but not a single hair of those souls."

He hadn't expected the Demon Lord to be so clean and decisive.

Not only were all those people reduced to blood mist, but even their souls were completely scattered, turning to ashes.

Ning Haocheng looked around and said to Chu Mo, who was cultivating in meditation: "I'll go explore the surroundings and see if Dao Xuan Sect left any treasures. If anything happens, just @ me in the Chat Group."

"That's no problem, but as usual, set up a spatial fixed-point magic array around to reduce your teleportation time."

"OK."

Ning Haocheng not only set up a spatial fixed-point magic array in place for convenient teleportation but also created dozens of Dark Night Crows using Dark Magic.

Then, he left the area and began his treasure hunt.

Although he didn't believe those things could remain intact after the Demon Lord's attack.

But what if?

What if a wordless true scripture, something only protagonists possess, or even a treasure left by an ancient powerful being that could directly point to the Dao, appeared?

Wouldn't he instantly soar to success!

After Ning Haocheng left, Chu Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on cultivating in meditation. He didn't choose to search for the remaining items with Ning Haocheng.

Firstly, he didn't believe Dao Xuan Sect had anything good that could have survived the Demon Lord's hands.

Secondly, he didn't trust his Luck, which had never won him a single prize, to let him find a true treasure.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

As Chu Mo circulated his Cultivation Technique, the scattered resentment and the blood on the ground seemed to find an outlet, surging into his body and circulating through his limbs and bones.

As time passed, the resentment, blood Qi, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that entered his body were all refined by him.

The aura around him grew increasingly powerful.

Qi Condensation Early Stage, Qi Condensation Middle Stage, Qi Condensation Late Stage, Qi Condensation Peak...

With his Cultivation Technique fully activated, it was as if flames were burning within Chu Mo's body, and his entire body felt like it was being gnawed by thousands of ants. Even blood began to flow from his seven orifices.

This was the drawback of Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques: extremely fast cultivation speed, but with immense risks. And because Chu Mo didn't use a Foundation Establishment Pill for his Foundation Establishment, the risks and pain he had to endure were even greater.

Fortunately, the quality of the surrounding resentment and blood Qi was quite high. The dark red Spiritual Qi in his Dantian accumulated very quickly, and his Meridians and Dantian expanded.

The dark red Spiritual Qi accumulated more and more, gradually compressing into a liquid state, and his Niwan Palace successfully gave birth to Divine Sense.

A faint light flickered around Chu Mo's body, and an incomparably violent aura surged from him, spreading in all directions.

"Whoosh~"

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, corroding a patch of ground in front of him. This was the Impurities and toxins from his body.

From Qi Condensation Stage to Foundation Establishment Stage is a leap in life, where Impurities and toxins are expelled from the body, making one's body pure and more receptive to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Among them, spiritual bodies are especially blessed, with very high bone structure and Comprehension Ability, and their efficiency in absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is also faster than ordinary people.

Such people are often given the title of Genius.

Unfortunately, Chu Mo was just an ordinary Cultivator and didn't possess those enviable spiritual bodies.

However, the Demonic Path Cultivation Technique he practiced could greatly increase his cultivation speed, even surpassing those with special Physiques.

Risk is directly proportional to reward.

If cultivating the Demonic Path was still slow, then why would he Cultivate the Demonic Path at all?

"Whoosh~"

"I've successfully achieved Foundation Establishment. There's still a lot of resentment and blood Qi around, so I'll continue to Cultivate and enhance my self-preservation ability."

Successfully achieving Foundation Establishment didn't make Chu Mo stop his progress; instead, he advanced courageously and redoubled his efforts.

From Qi Condensation Stage to Foundation Establishment Stage, he had become more than ten times stronger. This exhilarating feeling of rapid improvement immersed him, giving him a sense of being unable to stop.

Just as he was about to calm down and continue cultivating, a sharp crow's cry sounded from ahead.

"Caw, caw, caw..."

"Hmm? Someone's here!" Hearing the Dark Night Crow's cry, Chu Mo immediately looked around alertly.

Although the entire Dao Xuan Sect was destroyed by the Demon Lord, it was unknown whether the Demon Lord would send people back for a surprise attack.

To be safe, it was better to be cautious.

Temporarily abandoning further cultivation, Chu Mo followed the direction of the Dark Night Crows and looked towards the southeast.

He saw a illusory figure standing not far away.

"Sect Master?"

That familiar figure was none other than Li Changge, the Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect, but he no longer had his Physical Body.

Even his Primordial Spirit was extremely weak.

Clearly, while the Demon Lord's casual slap didn't directly obliterate his Primordial Spirit, it was close.

"Are you a Utility Disciple of Dao Xuan Sect?"

Seeing the Dao Xuan Sect Utility Disciple attire on Chu Mo, Li Changge was also slightly stunned.

The entire Dao Xuan Sect had been flattened into a basin by Seven Kill Demon Lord, yet there was still a Utility Disciple who hadn't died.

Could it be that this child is a person of great Luck?

Li Changge's Primordial Spirit trembled slightly.

There had always been a saying about Luck on Xuanling Continent, and those with great Luck could turn misfortune into fortune no matter what kind of desperate situation they encountered.

And to have survived under the Demon Lord's hands, he must definitely be someone with great Luck.

"Since you are a Disciple of Dao Xuan Sect and recognize me as the Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect, you should know the current situation of our Dao Xuan Sect."

A faint light emanated from Li Changge as he slowly floated towards Chu Mo, his voice gentle: "My Primordial Spirit is damaged, and I am now at the end of my rope. As the only surviving Disciple of Dao Xuan Sect, you should take the revitalization of Dao Xuan Sect as your responsibility."

"Now, in the name of the thirty-seventh Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect, I appoint you as the thirty-eighth Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect."

"Although everything of Dao Xuan Sect is gone, with my Legacy, you will surely be able to soar ninety thousand li in this world in the future, and it's not impossible to even contend for the chance of Immortal Ascension."

Li Changge's voice carried deep unwillingness, and the look in his eyes towards Chu Mo seemed to hold infinite hope, as if Dao Xuan Sect was destined to be rebuilt in Chu Mo's hands.

Chu Mo's face showed extreme excitement, but his heart was calm, and he had even called for support in the group.

[Rookie Cannon Fodder A: @Divorced with Half Cultivation, buddy, time to work. A Soul Transformation Stage expert's Primordial Spirit, ninety-nine percent a rare commodity.]

[Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor: My goodness, big shot, you're already going after Soul Transformation Stage experts now?]

[Emperor and Royal Relative Number One: I remember the Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect was also Soul Transformation Stage. Big shot, the Soul Transformation Stage Primordial Spirit you hunted, it wouldn't be your Sect Master, would it?]

[Rookie Cannon Fodder A: Yes, he is the Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect, and he also wants to appoint me as the thirty-eighth Sect Master of Dao Xuan Sect. However, his Primordial Spirit is damaged, so I plan to put him into my Human Emperor Flag to nourish his Primordial Spirit.]

[Divorced with Half Cultivation: @Rookie Cannon Fodder A, wait a moment, I'll be there soon.]

Upon receiving Ning Haocheng's reply, Chu Mo looked at Li Changge, who was constantly approaching him. For some reason, he always felt that this guy had ill intentions.
