63: Chapter 63 The Demon Blade Sect, the time is ripe!

The main altar of the Demon Blade Sect is located in a miasmic region of the Eastern Continent.

It is shrouded year-round in grey-black Evil Qi clouds.

The architectural style of its mountain gate is ferocious and bizarre.

It is constructed mostly of pallid bones and pitch-black profound iron.

The eaves are hung with dried human-faced lanterns, which sound like weeping and pleading in the night wind.

At this moment, deep within the Sect Leader's palace.

Several figures stand silently like ghosts.

All are dressed in profound black robes embroidered with blood-colored demonic patterns.

They are the core Elders of the Demon Blade Sect.

The blood stained on each of their hands is enough to turn rivers red.

At the head of the palace, seated upon a wide throne pieced together from the skulls of Human Race Cultivators, sits a figure.

This person's build is not tall, even slightly lean.

But the Evil Qi lingering around his body has almost condensed into substance, faintly forming the phantom of a ferocious demonic blade wreathed in wailing souls behind him.

He is the current Sect Leader of the Demon Blade Sect, the Sect Master of Demon Blade Sect.

With Peak Nascent Soul cultivation, he is the most talented Demonic Path Cultivator the Demon Blade Sect has seen in nearly a thousand years.

He is also the undisputed strongest person in the Sect today.

Beneath him, there are still two Late Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors serving as Grand Elders.

"Sect Leader."

The hook-nosed Elder standing at the very front spoke first.

"Over at the Azure Wave Sect, the seeds have been buried just about enough."

"The several Azure Wave Sect Peak masters and Elders we have secretly controlled with Heart-Bewitching Demonic Seeds, although cautious in their actions, have reported recently that those two in the Sect... seem to have detected a trace of unusual signs."

The two he mentioned naturally refer to the pillars of the Azure Wave Sect, the two Late Nascent Soul Stage Grand Elders.

Supreme Elder Immortal Master and Supreme Elder Immortal Master.

These two old ones have presided over the Azure Wave Sect for over five hundred years; their cultivation is profound, their experience seasoned, and they are definitely not easy to deal with.

Another Elder whose skin was a cyan-purple, like a corpse, Tu Wanren, interjected:

"Sect Leader, the time is nigh! We cannot wait any longer!"

"We have plotted for nearly a hundred years, expending countless resources, is it not for this day?"

"That Azure Wave Sect occupies multiple top-grade Spiritual Veins, especially an entire intact Mortal Realm... tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes one's heart surge with excitement!"

Mentioning the Mortal Realm, the eyes of the several Elders in the hall flashed simultaneously with greed and longing.

For Righteous Path Cultivators, protecting Mortals and guiding them toward good cultivation is Karma.

But for the Demonic Path, especially for a Sect like the Demon Blade Sect that excels in blood sacrifices, Soul Refining, and puppet making.

An undisturbed, teeming Mortal Realm is simply an inexhaustible, renewable, top-grade resource mine!

In the Spirit Realm, the life of a Demonic Path Cultivator is not easy.

The spheres of influence of the major Righteous Path Sects are intertwined, and supervision is strict.

Not to mention blood sacrificing a city, even secretly abducting a few dozen Mortals from a remote village to practice cultivation.

Could attract an investigation by patrolling Disciples; at best, one gets their legs broken and is driven away.

At worst, one is directly subdued by the righteous, leading to death and the dissipation of the Dao.

Regulations such as every town of ten thousand having a Golden Core Cultivator on duty, or patrolling flying shuttles in desolate mountains a thousand miles away.

Simply make the Demonic Path Cultivators so frustrated they want to curse.

How is it like the Mortal Realm?

Vast territories, countless dynasties, hundreds of millions of people.

And because of the pedantic rules of the Righteous Path Sects not to interfere in Mortal affairs, it is almost undefended.

It is a pity that their Demon Blade Sect has not had the fortune to enjoy such a prime location.

But now, facing the Azure Wave Sect, they can not only seize this covetous Mortal foundation but also wash away their shame and take revenge for the deep hatred that has spanned generations!

New hatred (resources) and old hatred (blood feud) are superimposed.

Making this plot go beyond mere profit.

As long as they completely control that Mortal Realm, the Demon Blade Sect will have a stable source of Materials.

Human skin can be used to make talismans and refine banners.

Human blood can feed Devil Heads and be used for cultivation.

Living souls are even better for refining Devil Heads and nourishing Magic Treasures!

What is even better is that Mortals reproduce extremely quickly; as long as they are managed slightly and given minimal survival conditions, they can grow like crops in a field, harvest after harvest.

At that time, harvesting every few decades, a steady stream, endless...

Thinking of this, many Demon Blade Sect Elders are already impatient to completely replace the Azure Wave Sect.

One must know, Demonic Path Cultivators also need to eat, ah no, they need to Cultivate!

Without sufficient resources, Cultivation Techniques are hard to advance, Magic Treasures cannot be upgraded, and one cannot even stand firm within the law-of-the-jungle Demonic Path.
