Chapter 468 - 468 Motive
“The path of the Dark God is to cultivate one’s profound spirit to the realm of a Dark Demon God. From there, one can continuously nourish one’s soul and strengthen one’s profound spirit… The mental power of every dark spirit was mighty and strange. It wasn’t something that normal cultivators could deal with. Of course, the path of the Dark God is also divided into grades. For example, the Ghost Spirit Sect, which is a force at the level of the six blessed lands of the Feather Kingdom, is not considered the lowest grade, but it is not much different.”
Jiang Ming thought about this.
Along the way, he had exchanged a lot of information with Master Zhai about the cultivation world outside the Feather Kingdom. He was quite familiar with the situation of many forces. The Nine Ghost Cult interested him.
When he learned that the Nine Ghost Cult was one of the top ten forces in the entire world of immortal cultivation, and their strength was far superior to the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, Jiang Ming roughly understood how profound the inheritance of the Nine Ghost Cult was and how deep its foundation was.
Jiang Ming shook his head and quickly devoted himself to the cultivation process.
He knew very well that he was still unable to come into contact with the level of the Nine Ghost Cult. At least, he had to wait until all the troubles in the Feather Kingdom were resolved before he could have the ability to go outside the Feather Kingdom and explore the wider world of immortal cultivation.
“Actually, the Universe Cauldron is not only used to refine the body but also the primordial spirit. It’s different from the path of the Dark God. If you focus on cultivating the primordial spirit, you’ll be walking the path of the Light God. At that time, you’ll have a great chance of breaking through and reaching a realm above the Saint Realm if you cultivate the three cultivation paths of immortal cultivation, martial arts, and the Light God to the extreme!”
As the black sword spoke, its entire body trembled non-stop. It seemed particularly excited.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ming could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly and say, “What realm is above the Saint Realm? There’s no need to think about it. I just want to know why the Universe Cauldron is here.”
Even though it was just a replica, it was still an extremely rare treasure.
If it were any other day, Jiang Ming would definitely be excited to see the Universe Cauldron. However, it was different at this moment. This was the Land of Heritage of the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord, a ghostly mystic realm, and a Netherworld ecosystem. No matter how ambitious Jiang Ming was, he would not dare accept the Universe Cauldron easily.
“If I’m not careful, I might provoke something that I shouldn’t provoke. I don’t want to do that.”
Jiang Ming could not help but shake his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The black sword also expressed its approval and said slowly, “I need to confirm whether the Universe Cauldron will provoke the powers of the laws and the aura of the netherworld. However, don’t forget. With me around, everything will be fine.”
As soon as it said this, Jiang Ming was stunned on the spot. After thinking for a long time, he took a few deep breaths and slowly said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you…”
“There’s no need to be so polite! I hope that you will become stronger. Only then will you be able to unravel the layers of fog and survive the calamity.” The black sword laughed. However, it was full of bitterness. Obviously, the black sword did not think that Jiang Ming could reach that step… The realm above the Saint Realm was simple to talk about. However, over the long years and several eras, countless heroes and geniuses were unable to withstand the ravages of time.
Although Jiang Ming’s aptitude was extraordinary, how difficult was it to advance to the Saint Realm?
“Even the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord died before he became a Saint. He could only choose to walk another path, turning into a ghost and cultivating the path of the Dark God. He was a top-notch existence in the past. However, now he has been reduced to an existence that is neither human nor ghost. How sad is that?”
The black sword seemed to recall countless tragic events in the past and shook its head.
Jiang Ming noticed the change in the black sword’s mood. After a moment of silence, he laughed.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely succeed.”
He did not want to go beyond the Saint Realm. However, in order to cheer the black sword on, Jiang Ming could only comfort him like this.
However, Jiang Ming was not exaggerating.
Even the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord had a limited lifespan.
However, Jiang Ming was different. No matter how long it took, as long as heaven and earth did not collapse, he, Jiang Ming, was destined to be immortal!
“Next, try to absorb all the power of the Universe Cauldron. Remember, don’t force yourself!”
Jiang Ming reminded the black sword again and again, and the black sword left. Soon, it circled around the Universe Cauldron a few times. Finally, it took a deep breath and absorbed all the powerful Netherworld aura from the Universe Cauldron.
“Only the aura of the Netherworld, right?” after absorbing a portion of the Netherworld aura, the black sword could not help but ask in surprise.
Logically speaking, the energy of the Netherworld would not be too strong or too advanced to suppress the power of the laws.
However, now, the power of the laws had failed to erode the Universe Cauldron. Instead, it had allowed the Netherworld aura to enter. No matter how one looked at it, there was something strange about this.
“Perhaps there’s some Netherworld creature here, and it’s quite strong! Be careful!”
Jiang Ming didn’t need the black sword to remind him. He had already sensed the great changes around him. It was as if countless powerful auras had swept over and wrapped around the Universe Cauldron in an instant. They even wanted to erode the black sword.
“Damn it, you want to corrupt me? You’re courting death!”
The black sword was furious.
The black sword burst out with a powerful aura, directly shaking away this wave of corruption.
Moreover, the black sword continued to erupt with a powerful sword aura. This was the advantage of having a high-level sword spirit. It could erupt with sword intent and sword aura without anyone controlling it!
Accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, some cultivators who had mistakenly entered this place were directly killed. Then, a change occurred!
The evil auras turned into malicious ghosts and charged at Jiang Ming and the black sword with all their might.
“A test? No! He wants to refine the black sword and me into human puppets!”
Jiang Ming was keenly aware of the motive behind all this, and his face immediately darkened.
Jiang Ming raised his hand and a huge flame shot out like a sword. In an instant, it destroyed the malicious ghosts.
