213: Dark Demon Cult, Ghost City

“Looking for a Cultivation Technique? For the Spirit Transformation Realm?” Feng Yao asked.

This was not hard to guess.

Jiang Lan was originally at Transformation Infant Peak, so if he was looking for a Cultivation Technique, it would naturally be for the Soul Transformation Realm.

Jiang Lan nodded, “Precisely.”

Feng Yao clicked his tongue, “Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique... As far as I know, the entire Luan Mo Region doesn’t have such a precious item. Even my Big Brother’s own Cultivation Technique only supports him up to Transformation Infant Peak.”

Feng Yao’s answer was within Jiang Lan’s expectations.

After all, Soul Transformation Cultivation Techniques were not like common cabbages by the roadside; they weren’t that easy to obtain.

Jiang Lan still remembered that Yao Banxian had told him before.

Within Chihong Province today, a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator was a major power.

As for Realms above Soul Transformation, Yao Banxian didn’t even know if they existed.

Therefore, the Soul Transformation Realm could basically be considered the most top-tier combat power in the entire Chihong Province.

Soul Transformation Cultivation Techniques would certainly not be that easy to obtain.

Jiang Lan did not lose heart, but continued to ask:

“Then Big Brother, do you know where such a thing might be?”

“This...” After a moment of thought, Feng Yao looked up, “If you, with your Transformation Infant Peak Cultivation, were to join the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, you might be able to obtain a Cultivation Technique for the Soul Transformation Realm.”

Jiang Lan: “...”

It was a good idea, but the problem was he couldn’t use this method.

Jiang Lan was already a Disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

Moreover, after joining the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, his strength had already been recorded.

If Jiang Lan remembered correctly, his recorded strength should be Qi Gathering Mid-Stage, around the fourth or fifth level.

Even Feng Yao could perceive that he was hiding his strength for a specific purpose; a large force like the Ten Thousand Demons Hall would surely be able to detect it too.

A Disciple at Qi Gathering Mid-Stage suddenly becoming Nascent Soul Perfection—the difference in Realms was too vast.

No matter how good one’s talent, it was impossible to Breakthrough Gathering Yuan, Mortal Shedding, and Core Formation three major Realms in less than a month.

Therefore, if Jiang Lan were to truly display his strength in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, problems would definitely arise.

At that time, not only would he fail to get a Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique, but he might also make things worse.

After a pause, Jiang Lan said:

“Are there any other methods? I am already registered with the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, so this path is probably unfeasible.”

Feng Yao was initially puzzled, then quickly realized that Jiang Lan must have also hidden his strength in the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.

“Hmm...” After a moment of thought, Feng Yao said, “Brother Jiang, what strength did you use when you joined the Ten Thousand Demons Hall? If it wasn’t low, you could just say you had an Epiphany and broke through.”

Jiang Lan grinned and said:

“Qi Gathering Mid-Stage.”

Feng Yao: “...”

He rubbed his face helplessly.

“Then that won’t work... Let me think again...”

Jiang Lan did not rush him, just waited for Feng Yao.

He wasn’t in a hurry anyway.

Moreover, Feng Yao had been in this Demon Domain much longer than him.

He definitely knew more information.

After a good quarter of an hour, Feng Yao’s eyes lit up, and he spoke:

“I actually thought of a place.”

“Where?” Jiang Lan was also a little excited.

But Feng Yao quickly paused again.

“According to rumors, in Huoyun City, a thousand li from here, there seems to be a method for demons to achieve Soul Transformation.”

“A method to become Soul Transformation?”

Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

What Feng Yao said was not a Cultivation Technique, but a method.

A single word difference, but the meaning was vastly different.

“What do you mean by that? I hope Big Brother can enlighten me.”

Feng Yao did not hide anything and spoke truthfully:

“To be honest, I don’t know the specifics, but all the Nascent Soul cultivators in this Demon Domain know the legend of Huoyun City.

“It is said that outside Huoyun City, there is a Huoyun Cave, which seems to contain a method for demons to achieve Soul Transformation. Demons who reach Demon Infant Peak and lack subsequent Cultivation Techniques mostly go there to try their luck.

“However, I, your Big Brother, don’t know what exactly is inside. But some demons have indeed succeeded. It is said that the current Hall Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall achieved Soul Transformation in Huoyun Cave, and only then established the Ten Thousand Demons Hall.”

Jiang Lan nodded.

Feng Yao continued:

“But this matter is just a rumor. When I, your Big Brother, heard about it, I didn’t pay much attention, and I cannot guarantee its authenticity. However, if there are no other options, my virtuous brother, you will just have to try your luck there.”

“Thank you, Big Brother, I understand.”

Just then, Feng Yao slapped his forehead again.

“Oh, right, there’s another way.”

“Hm?”

“If the Ten Thousand Demons Hall doesn’t work, you can also try your luck in the Azure Lotus Sect area, which borders the Ten Thousand Demons Hall. Although the Green Lantern Goddess was severely injured and suppressed, she is also a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, so you might be able to get hold of the Cultivation Technique she practices.”

Feng Yao continued: “Going to other places is the same. The Dark Demon Sect, Ghost Realm City. These are all forces led by Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. If you, at Transformation Infant Peak, join them and gain their trust, you will definitely be able to obtain a Cultivation Technique.”

“Dark Demon Sect? Ghost Realm City?” Jiang Lan heard of these two places for the first time.

Hearing Jiang Lan’s question, Feng Yao said:

“The Three Demons, Five Emperors, and Seven Sovereigns, have you heard of them?”

Jiang Lan nodded.

“I’ve heard of them.”

Feng Yao continued:

“The Dark Demon Sect and Ghost Realm City are forces established by two of these great demons. The entire Demon Domain is vast, and these fifteen great demons each occupy fifteen separate regions, with their territories clearly delineated.

“One of the Dark Demon Sect and Ghost Realm City is to the east of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall’s sphere of influence, and the other to the west. The Azure Lotus Sect, on the other hand, is to the north of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall’s area. As for the south...”

At this point, a hint of reminiscence appeared in Feng Yao’s eyes.

“The south is where the Human Race’s Ling Country is located, and it is also my homeland.” Feng Yao shook his head, “It’s just that... I can’t go back to this homeland.”

Jiang Lan did not speak.

If Feng Yao really wanted to go back, he could.

However, he stayed here because killing demons could increase his strength.

But everyone had their own choices, and Jiang Lan found it difficult to comment.

Today, he received a lot of information.

Jiang Lan quickly weighed his options and made a decision.

What needed to be done now was to first help Feng Yao kill those two Demon Infant Fourth Level cultivators.

Then, it was to accumulate lifespan.

Jiang Lan planned to save up a hundred thousand years first, and then go look for a Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique.

This way, once he obtained and learned the Cultivation Technique, he would most likely be able to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation Peak in one go.

At that time, as long as there were no hidden powerful figures, he could travel unimpeded throughout the entire Demon Domain... no, the entire Chihong Province.

As for where to get the Cultivation Technique.

Jiang Lan’s plan was to first go to Huoyun City to try his luck.

If there was no gain, then he would go to the Azure Lotus Sect.

If he didn’t get a suitable Cultivation Technique at the Azure Lotus Sect either, he would go to the other two places.

Anyway, there were a total of fifteen Soul Transformation forces; at worst, he would visit them one by one. Jiang Lan refused to believe that he couldn’t even get a single Cultivation Technique.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan slightly clenched his fist, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
