Zong Linjing slowly spoke, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"I see."
"These guys really deserve to die!" Lin Zheyu sighed.
In such matters concerning the destruction of the world, there are still traitors among the creatures of this world.
"What’s more, there are those who directly ally with demons and willingly become demon puppets."
Qiu Kun let out a breath, returning to his senses from the cultivation technique, and pouted.
"Unbelievable, truly an amazing cultivation technique!"
"With the help of your cultivation technique, I see hope of further advancement. You truly are my benefactor!"
"Mr. Xiao, please accept my bow!"
Je Haomiao returned to his senses, and spoke with immense gratitude.
Years ago, he felt his path of cultivation had reached its end, with his potential in martial arts exhausted.
But Je Haomiao was unwilling, as he had devoted his entire life to martial arts and didn’t want to convert to another system.
Therefore, for years, his cultivation made no progress.
Originally, Je Haomiao was on the brink of giving up, forced by the impending catastrophe to abandon the hopeless path and switch systems.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a miraculous cultivation technique, the "Circulation Bright Light Guiding Skill," appeared.
"There’s no need for that, martial artists should help each other; isn’t that the purpose of forming and joining the Martial Alliance?"
Lin Zheyu supported the solemnly bowing Je Haomiao and said with a smile.
"Haha, my friend, you are truly so generous, I will absolutely count you as a friend. In the future, I owe you my life!"
"No matter what you need, even if it’s climbing mountains of knives or plunging into pots of oil, I’ll do it without hesitation!"
Je Haomiao patted his chest, laughing heartily.
"Oh come on, what could you accomplish with your skills?"
"Considering our relationship, I’ll omit formalities; everything is in the drink."
"Come, I’ll toast to you!"
Qiu Kun glanced at Je Haomiao, lifted his cup, and said cheerfully.
Lin Zheyu smiled and toasted with them.
"Speaking of the Painful Holy Sect, the task I just mentioned is related to them."
"This time, the Painful Holy Sect continuously stirs trouble in the demon lair, angering Great Wei and the Buddhist sect, both issued a hunt order, chasing Painful Holy Sect members everywhere."
"Are you interested in forming a team?"
Qiu Kun said with a mischievous smile.
His gaze fell on Lin Zheyu, eagerly staring at him.
Among the group, Lin Zheyu had the strongest power; recruiting such a powerful teammate would be like adding wings to a tiger!
Then, this matter is assured.
"I’ll pass on this. I incidentally gained something in the demon lair and want to retreat for cultivation for some time." Lin Zheyu said, shaking his head.
"Me too."
"Originally, I was interested, but now I can’t wait to go back and cultivate the ’Circulation Bright Light Guiding Skill’."
Je Haomiao said with a smile.
Qiu Kun: "..."
"Forget it, I won’t go either. It’s boring if none of you go."
"I’ll also retreat for cultivation, can’t be left behind by you all." Qiu Kun said with a mischievous smile.
Half an hour later.
Lin Zheyu bid farewell to Zong Linjing and others, and went to the library.
After recording the "Circulation Bright Light Guiding Skill" cultivation technique in the library and exchanging it for contribution points.
Lin Zheyu returned to the courtyard to start a new round of cultivation.
In the courtyard.
Lin Zheyu activated the courtyard’s protective array and took out the array disc, setting up an array around the area, then took out the Primordial Pool.
"Still not fully refined; otherwise, this would be a superior portable sanctuary."
Lin Zheyu looked at the Primordial Pool in front of him and murmured with a hint of regret.
However, it could still be used with some difficulty.
His figure swayed slightly, entering the void within the Primordial Pool.
In the dark void, numerous demons floated, stretching as far as the eye could see, numbering over ten thousand.
"Such a large number of demons is enough for me to study for years, even over a decade."
"I hope there won’t be any urgent matters in the Martial Alliance during this time."
Lin Zheyu said privately.
Having cultivated until now, he calculated that it had been almost fourteen years.
Thinking of retreating for a decade or more, Lin Zheyu felt a strange complexity.
"In a blink, over ten years have passed. Time truly flies!"
Lin Zheyu sighed.
Calmly focusing his mind, he cleared away his distracting thoughts.
Lin Zheyu lightly waved his right hand.
Among the densely packed demons floating in the dark void, a three-striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend was drawn towards him.
Under the powerful binding force of the Primordial Pool, this Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend, whose skull was blasted by Lin Zheyu, still hadn’t recovered.
Lin Zheyu examined the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend, checking its physical state, and confirmed it wouldn’t die within a few years, which relieved him.
"In another part of the void, there’s still a significant amount of demonic energy stored; I’ll replenish the demonic energy for these weak demons before they die."
"Then, it should be possible to hold on for a dozen years."
Lin Zheyu softly contemplated.
In this void, apart from him, living beings could not survive.
Only the demons, with their extraordinarily strong life force, could barely maintain life, yet were heavily suppressed.
Over time, they would still gradually die.
Especially these weak three-striped and four-striped demons.
Fortunately, the demons have a ridiculously strong life force. With supplementation of demonic energy, they can endure for longer periods.
"The matter of demonic stripes is not urgent; first, let’s convert the insights gained from Xi Ruchen into strength."
