Chapter 40 Shimo Sect

The Xiumo Sea is not a true ocean, but rather formed during a great battle in ancient times.

A peculiar place formed when a mighty being with great Divine Ability evaporated an entire ocean to kill enemies.

The Xiumo Sea is shrouded in dense mist, making the description of a sea of fog most appropriate.

Many creatures originally native to the ocean also adapted to the mist through long-term evolution.

Becoming able to survive within the fog.

Furthermore, the mist of the Xiumo Sea is quite special; for one month every year,

the mist turns back into seawater, and after another month, it returns to the appearance of drifting fog.

Due to this harsh environment, despite the vastness of the Xiumo Sea, its resources are barren and Spiritual Veins are scarce.

Acts of murder and pillaging are countless.

Gradually, it became a gathering place for evil practitioners and demonic paths.

Even Cultivators who committed huge disasters in some high-Rank cultivation countries and were hunted down by their own countries

flocked here one after another, using the special terrain of the Xiumo Sea to evade pursuit.

Sun Xuan has two purposes for coming to the Xiumo Sea.

First, because Sun Xuan wiped out all Nascent Soul Cultivators in the State of Zhao and killed the inspection envoy sent by the fourth-Rank cultivation country to which the State of Zhao belonged.

This forcefully knocked the State of Zhao down from a third-Rank cultivation country to a second-Rank cultivation country.

The fourth-Rank cultivation country affiliated with the State of Zhao will certainly not let the matter rest.

They will definitely send experts to hunt down Sun Xuan.

Although Sun Xuan is not afraid, he also does not want to stir up unnecessary trouble.

Second, because Wang Lin fled to the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Afterwards, with the help of the heaven defying bead and Situ Nan, he fled into the Nirvana Realm behind a spatial rift within the Outer Realm Battlefield.

But one day, Wang Lin will return from the Nirvana Realm.

And the Xiumo Sea is a place Wang Lin visited after his return.

Sun Xuan intends to cultivate here while waiting for his Disciple Wang Lin to return.

The water mist inside the Xiumo Sea is dense, and this mist carries a trace of chilliness.

Wisps of chilly Qi incessantly tried to drill into Sun Xuan's body.

But as soon as these chilly Qi drilled into Sun Xuan's body, they were directly assimilated and absorbed by the Yin Corpse Poison Fire.

The Xiumo Sea is divided into the Inner Sea and the Outer Sea.

Because the resources and Spiritual Qi in the Outer Sea are extremely scarce, the Cultivators entrenched there are all below the Nascent Soul Stage.

Very few Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are willing to stay in the Outer Sea for long periods.

On the other hand, the Inner Sea is relatively much better.

Not only are there quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators among them, but there are even several Soul Transformation Cultivators.

Furthermore, they are all demonic Cultivators and followers of the Evil Path, making it a chaotic dance of demons inside.

And the place Sun Xuan is going to is precisely the Inner Sea of the Xiumo Sea.

In Sun Xuan's view, the fact that the Xiumo Sea is full of evil practitioners is also a good thing for him.

He just needs a faction to monitor the Xiumo Sea so that he can find Wang Lin as soon as possible after Wang Lin arrives at the Xiumo Sea.

However, building a faction from scratch by himself is too troublesome.

It is better to directly make a move and seize a ready-made one for convenience.

If it were some upright factions, Sun Xuan would find it somewhat difficult to act.

If they are all evil practitioners, then Sun Xuan will not have any psychological pressure at all.

He can directly strike with heavy blows.

After beating them into submission, the obedient ones can become underlings, and the disobedient ones can be recycled as waste; swallowing them to increase his own cultivation is also not bad.

Inside the Inner Sea of the Xiumo Sea, today is just another ordinary day for the Shimo Sect.

A bunch of Elders within the Sect led a group of Disciples, slightly changed their appearances, and had just gone out to rob someone.

The harvest was quite bountiful.

Not only did they grab a large amount of Spirit Stones, Spirit Medicine, spiritual materials, Cultivation Techniques, but they even snatched a few beautiful female Cultivators.

At this moment, a group of people from top to bottom are gathered in the Sect's main hall dividing up the spoils on the spot.

Wealth like Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicine is distributed directly according to the level of cultivation and status within the Sect, which is considered fair.

As for the few beautiful female Cultivators, the Sect Master plays with them first, followed by the Elders, stewards, and so on, distributed tier by tier.

Sooner or later, everyone will have a share, which can be considered sharing the rain and dew evenly.

This distribution method of the Shimo Sect is quite good; at least from the founding of the Sect until now, the Disciples within the Sect are all quite satisfied.

And at this very moment, the Shimo Sect welcomed an uninvited guest.

Above the Shimo Sect's grand protective array, which remains open year-round, an ethereal figure resembling an immortal emerged.

It is precisely Sun Xuan, who has already arrived in the Inner Sea of the Xiumo Sea.

What Sun Xuan saw and heard along the way in the Xiumo Sea, and that state of demons dancing wildly, gave him a rough understanding of the Xiumo Sea.

"Boom!"

With a cold gaze, Sun Xuan kicked directly onto the Shimo Sect's grand protective array.

Boundless mighty force surged forth, and the Shimo Sect's grand protective array froze slightly.

Immediately afterwards, it shattered with a crash.

"Who is it?

So audacious, how dare you trespass into the Shimo Sect!

Courting death!"

Roars of anger emanated from within the Shimo Sect.

Especially the Shimo Sect Sect Master, who was just about to mount up and have some fun when this loud bang almost scared him into developing a trauma.

The Shimo Sect Sect Master, bringing along a crowd of Nascent Soul Stage Elders, flew rapidly into mid-air.

Then he prepared to make a move to kill this arrogant person who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Sun Xuan sized up the five Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators before him.

One in the Middle Stage, four in the Early Stage.

Moreover, there are numerous Disciples within the Sect, which matches Sun Xuan's requirements quite well.

Thinking of this, Sun Xuan slightly released his Soul Transformation Aura that he had previously restrained.

The five Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Shimo Sect were originally aggressive, but suddenly a Spiritual Pressure like a giant mountain pressing down surged over.

The expressions of the five Nascent Soul Cultivators changed drastically in an instant.

"Soul… Soul Transformation!"

The Shimo Sect Sect Master trembled at the corners of his mouth and uttered a word that chilled their hearts and frightened their souls.

Then his mind went blank, and he turned around ready to run away.

"Whoever dares to move, this Daoist will reduce him to ashes!"

Shimo Sect Sect Master Ning Moyuan and the four Nascent Soul Stage Elders trembled in heart and soul, forcibly halting their footsteps that were about to flee.

Sun Xuan glanced at the few of them, too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly spoke to the five of them in a tone without the slightest emotion:

"Each of you will hand over a wisp of Soul Blood, and the Shimo Sect will be temporarily managed by this Daoist from now on.

Whoever has an objection, hehe, can bring it up now!"

Sun Xuan's words poured into the ears of the five like demonic sounds, leaving them at a loss for a moment on how to choose.

At this moment, Ning Moyuan gritted his teeth, then reached out and patted his chest.

Immediately, a wisp of Soul Blood was spat out from Ning Moyuan's mouth.

And then it was handed over to Sun Xuan's hands.

As expected of a generation of demonic Sect Masters, seeing that things were unfeasible, Ning Moyuan was quite decisive in his actions.

Seeing that Ning Moyuan had already handed over his Soul Blood, the other four Early Stage Nascent Soul Elders,

no matter how unwilling they were in their hearts, knew that an arm cannot twist a thigh at this moment.

had no choice but to take out their Soul Blood one by one and hand it over to Sun Xuan.

Seeing the five of them being so sensible, a trace of satisfaction also appeared on Sun Xuan's face.

Then, with a grab of his hand, the Soul Blood of the five disappeared from Sun Xuan's hand, stored into his Dantian, and wrapped up by the Yin Corpse Poison Fire.

Seeing this, the five members of the Shimo Sect looked at each other, then immediately knelt down and paid homage loudly toward Sun Xuan:

"Shimo Sect Disciples Ning Moyuan, Han Xuan, Lu Yang, Ye Donglin, and Duzhong pay respects to the Sect Master."

Seeing this, Sun Xuan spoke with a hint of a smile:

"Very good, get up!"

Although Sun Xuan knew that these few people obeyed outwardly but disagreed inwardly,

and secretly didn't know what kind of crooked thoughts they might harbor,

Sun Xuan didn't care about these either; all he wanted were some dogs capable of executing his commands.

As long as these people could do well what he ordered, everyone would live in peace.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind slaughtering disobedient and stupid dogs to eat their meat.
