Chapter 222 Blood-Robe Reincarnation Art (Cultivation Art)

Compensation.

Percival frowned. The Pan family had just upgraded the spiritual vein of Verdant Ink Mountain (Location) to upper third-grade a few years prior—they clearly couldn’t afford this sum.

He glanced at Eldrin, about to speak, when suddenly a streak of light shot across the sky like a messenger from the heavens.

Eldrin (Person Name) cast a sweeping glance, his expression instantly darkening.

Seeing his strange expression, the old clan leader couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Eldrin handed the message talisman to the group, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes as he declared, "Ancestor Jiang has sent word that the Yan Immortal Clan has also been eradicated."

"What?"

After reading the transmission, everyone present was so shocked they nearly lost their composure, their faces uniformly revealing astonishment.

According to the message from Lyra (Person Name), that Old Fiend Yan had been steeped in demonic cultivation for so many years that he had descended into utter madness.

The entire eminent Yan Clan, a premier Purple Mansion immortal lineage—comprising thousands of cultivators and millions of mortals—had been utterly exterminated by his hand, without a single survivor left behind.

Whether they were mortal or cultivator, all had been sacrificed to the Blood Ritual of Elder Yan the Demonic, leaving not even a single soul to relay the news.

That Elder Yan was not only a top genius in the demonic path, but also incomparably ruthless. He slaughtered every last mortal and cultivator from the 2 great immortal clans, blood-sacrificing over 8,000,000 mortals.

Such a heinous blood sacrifice greatly enhanced the power of Elder Yan's life-bound demonic treasure, the 7 Soul Demon Banner, bringing it nearly to 80 percent of a fourth-tier demonic treasure's might.

Most crucially, he had cultivated 3 Blood Demon Avatars. The 'Blood Demon Avatar' was the sole supreme supernatural power of the Devil's Cavern Abyss, with each avatar possessing 50 percent of the original body's combat prowess.

Moreover, at critical moments, he could consume Blood Demon Seeds to perform the 'Blood Demon Rebirth Art' and evade pursuit by powerful foes.

However, grand supernatural powers demand exceptional comprehension, and a divine ability like the Blood Fiend Seed requires perfect compatibility to cultivate successfully.

Over the past 1000 years, 7 or 8 Golden Core demonic cultivators had emerged from the Devil's Cave Abyss, yet not a single 1 had mastered this supreme demonic art.

Even the Withered Bone Demon, who terrorized the Chu Kingdom over 1 100 years ago, had never mastered such a supreme great supernatural power—this alone demonstrated the formidable demonic talent of Elder Yan.

Relying on this legendary great supernatural power, the Elder Fiend Yan even managed to escape the pursuit of Lyra (Person Name), holding out until reinforcements arrived from the 2 Golden Core old fiends of the Devil's Cave.

"This Old Fiend Yan is utterly ruthless—he doesn’t even spare his own clansmen."

"His talent and cruelty far surpass those of the Withered Bone Elder. I fear he will inevitably become a great calamity for the Chu Kingdom's cultivation world in the future."

The old clan leader said with a sorrowful expression, "A ruthless man like Elder Yan is a natural seed for cultivating demonic arts."

With such methods at his disposal, he likely had an 80 to 90 percent chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm. Moreover, once he succeeded, even ordinary cultivators at the Golden Core, Early Stage would struggle to match him—unless they wielded a Demon-Subduing Treasure capable of suppressing his power.

If he were to cultivate to the Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm), the Bloodfiend he refined could reach the Golden Core realm. Moreover, a Bloodfiend Master could theoretically forge up to 8 Blood God Progenies at most.

It is even rumored that there exists a cultivation method for the ninth Blood Demon Seed, and the complete version of this ninth Blood Demon Art—the Blood Demon Divine Ability—is even more profound and mysterious. It ranks among the top 3 supreme demonic divine abilities in the Violet Realm.

Of course, aside from the legendary Blood Demon Dao Lord, no 1 throughout the countless ages has ever succeeded in cultivating the ninth Blood Demon Seed.

The Demon Cave Abyss only inherited the refinement methods for the first 5 Blood Fiend Seeds. Yet, given the Elder Fiend Yan’s prodigious talent in demonic cultivation, it remained possible for him to successfully refine 4 or 5 of them. That would equate to 4 or 5 Golden Core-level combatants.

It was foreseeable that in order to cultivate this great divine ability, Elder Yan (Person Name) would inevitably plunge the entire Chu Kingdom (Location) into a river of blood, with devastation likely far surpassing that wrought by the ancient Desiccated Bone Demon (Person Name) in years past.

Xu Daoyuan frowned, unable to suppress his concern as he said, "This Demon Abyss Cave has plagued the land for a 1000 years. Could it be that the Ji Clan pays it no heed?"

"How could the thoughts of a Nascent Soul Immortal Clan ever be fathomed by the likes of us?"

"Moreover, the Ji Clan Immortals are not without rivals. Our location at the border of Ji Province makes it difficult to attract significant attention from them."

Xavier shook his head. The cultivation levels of the crowd were ultimately insufficient, preventing them from accessing those higher realms.

Seeing everyone’s spirits dampened, Eldrin spoke calmly, “There’s no need for concern. That Old Demon Yan was nearly slain by Lyra, and in his desperate escape, he expended a Blood Demon Seed.”

Although he had managed to escape with his life through the Blood Demon Rebirth Art, the injuries he sustained were difficult to recover from in a short time.

Now that he was severely injured, it would take at least a decade for him to fully recover. Even after healing, he would still need another 20 years to consolidate his foundation following his tribulation transcendence and breakthrough to the Golden Core realm.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. For at least 50 or 60 years, the Venerable Yan would have no time to make a move against the Chu Kingdom.

Setting this matter aside for now, Eldrin glanced at the assembly before steering the conversation back on track.

"At present, what truly holds value for the Yang Family, aside from this spirit vein and the underground fire vein, are merely the shares in the Border Province spirit stone mine and the 2 earth veins."

"I have a proposal. See if you find it acceptable."

The others subtly glanced at Eldrin upon hearing this, awaiting his next words.

Eldrin waited until the crowd had quieted down before continuing with a calm expression, "Our Chen Family is willing to take over the Yang Clan's third-grade mid-tier subterranean fire vein. The compensation for the bereaved families will also be solely undertaken by the Chen Family."

"In exchange, the Yang family will transfer their shares in the border state's spirit stone mine and Xin Metal vein to the Pan Clan, while their share of the Cangkun Mountain (Location) vein will be granted to the Xu Clan."

The others broke into faint smiles upon hearing this, appearing rather satisfied.

Eldrin's combat prowess now verged on the Purple Palace, Late Stage. Given that the Chen family currently possessed the strongest forces, it was only natural they should claim the largest share of Border Province's resources.

The Pan family, being the weakest in strength, still managed to secure a considerable gain by obtaining the Yang family's shares in the border state's spirit stone mines and the Xin Gold Earth Vein.

The Xu family was thoroughly satisfied. Not only did Cangkun Mountain (Location) possess a third-grade spirit vein, but the superior third-grade Earth Vein there also gave birth to a Purple Sun Jade (Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure) once every 100 years.

After seizing the Yang family's share, the Xu family now exclusively controlled 50-5 percent of Cangkun Mountain's (Location) revenue, causing their acquisition of treasures to increase by a significant margin.

At this thought, Xavier also nodded and said,

"In that case, I must trouble you to take care of the family's compensation."

After the group departed, Eldrin summoned the 3 Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yang Family.

The 3 of them possessed rather modest cultivation levels. The strongest among them, Yang Yanxing (Person Name), had only reached Foundation Establishment, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm).

The reason they managed to survive was because they were stationed within the earth veins of Cangkun Mountain (Location). What should have been a routine rotation of guard duty unexpectedly became a twist of fate that allowed them to keep their lives.

That Yang Yanxing caught sight of Eldrin and immediately fell to his knees with a choked sob, "Ancestor Chen, you must deliver justice for us."

"Alas."

Eldrin (Person Name)也有些感触，当初杨正元赠丹，一起并肩作战的经历历历在目。

Out of respect for Yang Zhengyuan, even when Yang Yuanhe contended with him for the Cloud-Patterned Creation Elixir (Pill), he never made things difficult for Yang Yuanhe in the slightest. He even considered that if the Yang family were to face calamity under Yang Yuanhe’s leadership, he would step in to offer assistance.
