327: Chapter 327 Benefiting the Demon Realm, Each with Their Own Schemes!

...

In the Myriad Demon Domain, the thunder clouds dispersed, and the dawn broke.

Ripples stirred in the Void Realm as Shi Jian and White Crane stepped out of the spatial passage one after another, landing beside the Thunder Pool at the peak.

Shi Jian waved his large sleeve.

Over a hundred Storage Pouches exploded in mid-air, and the lifelong savings of over a hundred elite Disciples of the Zhengqi Sect, along with the Opportunity they had scavenged from the Kunyuan Secret Realm, poured down like a waterfall.

Countless treasures piled up beside the Thunder Pool, forming a small hill shimmering with five-colored spiritual light.

Third-grade Spiritual Plants, second-grade Ore, all kinds of top-grade Magical Artifacts, various precious Medicinal Pills, and even many items of Legacy from other Sect Disciples.

Shi Jian swept his Divine Sense across them, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Truly poor."

He spat out the two words coldly; the Human Race had fallen to such a state that the possessions of these so-called elite Prodigies were truly lackluster.

They could not even compare to half of the Cultivators he had personally hunted down in the past.

White Crane shook his folding fan and chuckled: "Brother Shi, don't set your expectations too high. The Kunyuan Secret Realm has been exploited for thousands, even tens of thousands of years; the good things on the periphery were dug out long ago."

"Plus, with the decline of the Human Race over the past hundred years, they lack the ability to obtain many good things. Being able to bring these out likely cost them their lives."

Shi Jian raised his right hand, his five fingers grasping at the air.

From the small hill of spiritual items, two jade boxes sealed with Spirit-Sealing Talismans flew out through the air and landed in his palm.

He opened the jade boxes.

In the left jade box, a wisp of pale blue thunder light slithered like a spiritual snake; this was the Way of Thunder qi that the Zhengqi Sect Disciple had risked his life to bring out.

Its name was: Pale Thunder Fierce Profound Qi!

It was vastly different from the Purple Cloud Golden Lightning Qi; the latter was a thunder of ultimate yang and rigidity, a righteous thunder qi, while this Pale Thunder Fierce Profound Qi was of ultimate wildness and ferocity, intrinsically more suitable for Yao Beasts to absorb.

Moreover, the absorption of heaven and earth qi would, to a certain extent, change the characteristics of one's future Immortal Foundation.

If one absorbed the Purple Cloud Golden Lightning Qi, it was highly probable that they would forge an Immortal Foundation like [Purple Pivot Thunder], [Purple Cloud Thunder], or [Righteous Yang Thunder], which were Yang-leaning Way of Thunder Immortal Foundations.

Whereas this Pale Thunder Fierce Profound Qi would likely point towards more primitive types like [Pale Profound Thunder], [Life-Extinguishing Thunder], or [Yin Void Thunder], which leaned towards Yin-leaning Way of Thunder Immortal Foundations...

And the difference in Immortal Foundation also destined a different path for the future.

As for the right jade box, it contained a wisp of strange airflow that was nearly transparent and flowed with a faint cyan light; it was of extreme purity and clarity, resembling the sky after rain.

"Could this be a path of qi?"

"This qi seems to be named: Clear Sky Heavenly Pure Qi."

The path of qi was a relatively rare minor path in the world, but the quality of this wisp of Clear Sky Heavenly Pure Qi was extremely high, making it quite extraordinary.

"Obtaining two wisps of heaven and earth qi can be considered a trip worth taking."

Shi Jian closed the jade box and then cast his gaze at the mountain of low-grade spiritual items on the ground, showing little interest.

"As for this junk, it is useless to you and me."

Shi Jian walked in long strides to the edge of the cliff, overlooking the vast Myriad Demon Domain below.

"Taken from the enemy, used for the Yao."

He flicked his sleeve violently, and a violent Yao wind rose from the ground.

Boom!

The small hill of spiritual items disintegrated instantly; tens of thousands of Spiritual Plants, Ore, and Medicinal Pills were swept up into the high sky by the Yao wind, turning into a brilliant meteor shower that crashed down toward the mountains, waters, deep valleys, and dense forests on the periphery of the Myriad Demon Domain.

"My Nascent Soul formation shall reward the entire domain!"

Shi Jian's voice, mixed with the supreme pressure of his Purple Pivot Immortal Foundation, spread like rolling thunder to every corner of the Myriad Demon Domain.

And the ten thousand directions of the Demon Domain boiled over in response.

...

On a certain mountain ridge.

A third-grade Wind Wolf was fighting to the death with a Poison Python over territory.

In the sky, a strange Profound Pill emitting a rich medicinal fragrance fell through the air and smashed right between the two beasts.

The Wind Wolf's eyes were blood-red; at the cost of having its front leg bitten off by the Poison Python, it swallowed the pill in one gulp. Instantly, the violent medicinal power exploded, the Wind Wolf's aura surged, and it turned to bite off the Poison Python's seven-inch spot.

Taking this Opportunity, it completely killed the snake Yao, showing faint signs of transformation and sublimation.

In the southern waters.

A piece of third-grade Profound Water Essence Iron the size of a washbasin smashed into the lake.

Dozens of Crocodile Beasts and Water Pythons scrambled for it crazily; the water surface was instantly dyed red with blood. Finally, a massive Dragon-Blood Crocodile bit the Essence Iron and dived into the deep water.

Its aura rose higher and higher, reaching the peak of the fourth grade!

Slaughter and carnival were staged simultaneously throughout the Myriad Demon Domain.

There was no order, only the most primitive survival of the fittest.

White Crane stood at the edge of the cliff, watching the tragic scramble below with unflagging interest; only through such slaughter and screening could one truly filter out great Yaos capable of fighting!

"Brother Shi is quite generous to scatter wealth like this."

"It's just that raising Gu in this manner results in too many casualties."

White Crane appreciated it, but he also had to consider other stability issues.

Hearing this, Shi Jian's expression remained blank, a coldness showing in his thunderous eyes.

"Brother Bai, the Yao Race does not need pampered trash. Those who survive by handouts will only be cannon fodder on the battlefield."

"Only those who seize Opportunity in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood are qualified to be the blades of my Myriad Demon Domain, to open up territory for the Demon Domain!"

"Rebuilding the glory of ten thousand years ago has never been achieved through peace or by being foolish with opponents. We need to be strong ourselves to realize the arrival of that day."

White Crane nodded in deep agreement and said no more.

Shi Jian turned around and flicked his finger.

The jade box containing the "Clear Sky Pure Qi" turned into a stream of light and flew steadily toward White Crane.

"The path of qi is rare and belongs to the same category of celestial phenomena as your Cloud Dao. This wisp of pure qi belongs to Brother Bai's Feathered Race. Brother Bai should also consider perfecting the various branches of the Feathered Race as soon as possible."

White Crane caught the jade box and nodded slightly.

"Many thanks, Brother Shi. I will consider it."

He did not decline; the Cloud Sky Secret Realm had just been established, and the Feathered Race needed fresh blood.

The cloud pattern between White Crane's brows flashed, and a Divine Thought pierced directly through the Void Realm, striking into the Secret Realm above Yunjun Peak.

Before long, the sea of clouds churned.

A giant crane, exceptionally divine and with cyan wind patterns flowing on its wings, flapped its wings and flew out from the Secret Realm. The crane Yao landed on Zixiao Peak and prostrated on the ground, its demeanor extremely respectful.

"Subordinate Yu Tian pays respects to the Yao Monarch! Pays respects to the Purple Pivot Old Ancestor!"

This Yao was a direct descendant of White Crane, a great Yao stuck at the peak of the fourth grade for many years.

White Crane tossed the jade box to Yu Tian casually.

"The Clear Sky Heavenly Pure Qi is quite compatible with your Bloodline. Take it and go into seclusion."

White Crane's tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable chill: "But if you do not achieve Golden Core, then die in the Secret Realm and become fertilizer for the Secret Realm; there is no need to come out again."

Yu Tian used its wings to catch the jade box, its body trembling slightly from excitement.

"Subordinate will certainly not fail the Yao Monarch's cultivation!"

"If I do not form a Core, I am willing to turn into the Dao of the Secret Realm and feed back into the Feathered Race!"

After speaking, Yu Tian prostrated on the ground to thank the Yao Monarch for his heavenly grace, then soared into the sky and dived into the Cloud Sky Secret Realm.

After sending off Yu Tian, White Crane shook his folding fan and looked at the remaining jade box in Shi Jian's hand.

"Who does Brother Shi intend to bestow this wisp of thunder qi upon?"

"Shi Pan and Shi Yin have both achieved Core Formation, and Shi Mo of the Dark Gold Lineage has fallen. Now, the Bear Clan seems to have no Bear Yaos capable of shouldering the burden."

Shi Jian pondered, rubbing the thunder patterns on the surface of the jade box, a flash of ferocity appearing in his eyes.

The Thunder Bear Lineage was derived from the cleansing of his own lineage and was his core foundation, but for these ten years, the Thunder Bear tribe had relied on his reputation to live too comfortably in the Myriad Demon Mountains.

Comfort would lead to rust.

"It is time to give my kin, who have been tempered by my Bloodline, some stimulation. Through competition, a Genius will surely emerge."

"Plus, my various Bear Clan branches have been truly lazy these years; it is time to put pressure on them and clear out a batch of inferior scum."

"Brother Shi is quite willing to part with it."

White Crane smiled, shook his head, and after bidding farewell to Shi Jian.

White Crane returned to Yunjun Peak to focus on perfecting the Secret Realm, while Shi Jian, unable to stand the laziness of the various Bear Clan branches, planned to thoroughly reform them and, by the way, select a suitable successor from the Thunder Bear Lineage to add a Golden Core to his Thunder Bear Lineage!
