Ancient Ancestral Ruins - Chapter 49 Hand-rubbed Little Black Hole

The primordial spiritual energy of the Demon Clan’s Pure Land is undoubtedly a valuable resource.

However, Lu Jiu needed far too much spiritual energy for cultivation.

Surely he wouldn’t go and compete with a bunch of juniors for the chance to absorb spiritual energy, would he?

Moreover, if he were to begin cultivating, all the spiritual energy would be devoured and absorbed by him, and those juniors of the Lu family would probably not get a single benefit.

So it happened just as Lu Jiu had planned from the beginning.

His cultivation was still focused on slaying demons.

Once outside the area enveloped by the Pure Land, Lu Jiu could no longer sense the presence of the Primordial Spiritual Energy. Although the spiritual energy surrounding him was still pure and abundant, it was significantly weaker than the Primordial Spiritual Energy.

A demon at the Nascent Soul level pounced out from the shadows, only to be slapped to the ground by Lu Jiu.

A black vortex appeared between his fingers, and a demon was instantly devoured, leaving only its withered and decaying corpse, which turned into dust and ashes with a gust of wind.

Others can obtain materials and treasures from the corpses of demons they kill.

When Lu Jiu kills demons, he leaves no corpses behind; all the essence from the demons is devoured!

As Lu Jiu traveled further and further from the Pure Land, more and more demons appeared, eventually surrounding him completely.

Faced with such a scenario.

Lu Jiu grinned, “Come to my bowl, all of you!”

He formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and in an instant, a black vortex formed in the space around him, pulling everything around him in as if they were falling into a swamp and could not escape!

The demons, who had been glaring menacingly, suddenly let out shrill screams. The essence of their souls, like wisps of smoke, was constantly being pulled out of their bodies and drifted into the black vortex that Lu Jiu had transformed into.

When everything returned to calm.

The black hole vortex disappeared, and Lu Jiu’s figure reappeared.

The large group of demons that had just surrounded him all fell to the ground, their corpses reduced to dust.

Time passed.

It only took a day.

Lu Jiu’s cultivation level broke through, and he stepped into the third level of Qi Refining Realm, the peak of Dan Sea!

The black hole seed in the dantian has expanded to several times its previous size, but it is still too small compared to the vast space of the dantian.

They fought their way through countless battles, slaughtering countless demons.

The progress in cultivation is still painfully slow.

Lu Jiu had no better solution, after all, his foundation was too solid. He had cultivated six different physiques to a high level, and the upper limit that his meridians and dantian could hold was far beyond what was expected.

For example, even among geniuses like Lu Changhe and Li Hanlu, who are at the same level of Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual power they condense within their bodies is like a vast ocean, boundless and magnificent.

Then Lu Jiu’s words are the boundless starry sky, the galaxy of the universe!

There’s absolutely no comparison!

They’re not even on the same level!

Along the way, Lu Jiu didn’t waste any of the spiritual herbs, divine medicines, or various materials and treasures he found; he simply collected them without consuming their essence.

After all, these treasures and resources, which he considered low-level, were still essential for the Lu family at this stage.

Fortunately, the further they went, the more powerful the demons they encountered became.

Several more days passed.

Lu Jiu’s cultivation broke through again, stepping into the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm, the Core Condensation Realm!

The black hole seed in the dantian finally expanded. When it expanded to the point of almost filling the entire dantian, it suddenly shrank back, as if space and time were collapsing rapidly.

Rumble…

A terrifying roar emanated from his dantian, as if the destruction of the universe was being reenacted!

Ultimately, the black hole in the dantian collapsed and shrank back to the size of a fingernail.

However, it differs from past black hole seeds.

Today, it is like a real black hole, as if it has transformed from virtual to material, from the unreal to the real!

“Making a small black hole by hand?”

Lu Jiu raised his right hand and gently rubbed two fingers together, making a heart shape with his hands.

However, as he moved, a black hole the size of a pill appeared above his finger.

In an instant, everything around was being pulled wildly, and under the terrifying force of gravity, space became distorted, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.

“That’s pretty impressive.”

With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Jiu caused the black hole to dissipate instantly, and everything returned to calm.

Boom! Boom! Boom! …

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, a colossal demonic bull appeared in the distance, its every step causing the earth to tremble violently.

Upon detecting Lu Jiu’s presence as a human, the demonic bull bellowed and charged forward.

“Are you bullying me just because I’m in the Qi Refining Realm?”

Lu Jiu chuckled. Even though he had sealed his Golden Immortal cultivation and six physical attributes, his physical strength was still intact.

However.

Lu Jiu wasn’t so bored as to engage in close combat with demons.

Before the demonic bull could even get close, he unleashed his primordial spirit power, sending a golden, earth-shattering handprint crashing down!

…

The opening of the Ancient Demon Realm is like a feast for cultivators from all sides who enter this place!

The same applies to the demons that dwell in this secret world!

Some factions have chosen to join forces to search for the treasure.

Among them are sects and families that are affiliated with Taoist sects and so on. If they find something good and present it to the sect, the reward will be very generous!

Someone has found a top-tier divine medicine, a treasure that even a true god-level expert can use to enhance their cultivation or refine divine pills!

Some people have also found top-grade divine metal, which true gods and powerful beings can use to forge weapons and refine magical artifacts!

Some people also saw many powerful figures joining forces to hunt down a powerful demon with a special bloodline. If they could kill it, the demon’s soul and corpse would be treasures!

To human cultivators, demons are indeed evil, bloodthirsty, and cruel.

However, it is also a treasure trove. Many elixirs and divine pills that can enhance cultivation and stabilize one’s foundation require certain materials from specific demons to be refined.

Although the demonic nature within a demon is very frightening, if properly controlled, a small amount of demonic nature can actually help to temper one’s Dao heart.

As for Lu Jiu, who directly devoured the essence of demon souls, that was definitely an exceptional case.

“Heavens! Qing Shen Dao Zi has killed a Heaven-Shaking Demon Bear!”

A piece of news spread, shocking cultivators from all sides, because it was simply unbelievable.

“The Heaven-Shaking Demon Bear is one of the most powerful demons among the gods. Does the Azure God Daoist have that kind of strength?”

“Someone witnessed Qing Shen Daozi bringing a True God-level array diagram!”

“That explains it. But as expected of a Daoist disciple of the Azure God Ancient Sect, he can carry a True God-level array diagram with him.”

Everyone could only look on with envy when they heard this, and no one dared to try and steal it.

Then, other news spread.

For example, when the Seven Killings Saint fought against demons, he successively killed several demons whose strength was comparable to that of gods!

For example, aside from the various factions that have paid their admission fees.

After the Lu family also entered the Ancient Demon Realm.

Other forces arrived late, including the Sun family, one of the ancient holy clans!

This left those who had paid for tickets feeling somewhat unhappy.

The secret passage should ideally lead the ancient Sun family to encounter the Lu family. I don’t believe that with the domineering nature of the Lu family’s Ninth Elder, the Sun family would be exempt from paying the entrance fee.

As for the fact that Lu Changhe was once plotted against by the ancient Sun family, not many people actually know about it.

The Lu family is weak and will not take the initiative to publicize it, otherwise it will only attract countless sneers and become a laughing stock. No one will stand up for the Lu family and offend the Sun family.

The ancient Sun family did something very dishonorable, so they naturally couldn’t go around bragging about it. Instead, they claimed that the Sun family’s eldest son’s innate talent, secret techniques, and physique were awakened by himself.
