The Cool and Aloof Immortal Master Has Fallen to the Demonic Path (Transmigration) - Chapter 31

Chapter 31

“This array has flaws. Once someone enters or exits the array and summons the guardian tiger, large and small whirlpools will appear in the array, connecting to different places. If you jump into a whirlpool, you might be unlucky and be sent behind the blood bridge, devoured by those millennium-old evil creatures. If your luck is average, you’ll just wander around in the Blood Sea. As for the lucky ones, they can escape the Blood Sea.”

“And I, by chance, had good luck and found the Purple Jade Whip. A Divine Artifact can distinguish between good and evil. It led me to a whirlpool that connected to the outside world.”

“If I hadn’t run into Mo Tianji, I should have found…”

She stopped speaking, not continuing her sentence.

She stared intently at Feng Lingyuan and Shen Yin, muttering: “I hope they can win.”

Yi Hu’s confusion deepened. Zi Ying seemed to be looking for something.

Before she could ask, the fight between Shen Yin and the others became more intense. Yi Hu’s cultivation was too weak to even clearly see the fight, only noticing flashes of gold and purple light. Yi Hu was a little discouraged.

She had just overestimated herself, wanting to help, but what help could she be?

Yi Hu sat down on the ground. She began to contemplate the results of her cultivation over the past few days. Apart from the first day, when spiritual energy was smoothly introduced into her body, every subsequent day was a futile effort. She still only had that faint wisp of spiritual energy in her body, like a gentle breath could scatter it, leaving no trace.

Could it be that demons truly couldn’t use the Immortal Spirit Sect’s cultivation method?

But if that was the case, why was she able to draw spiritual energy into her body?

Demons, how did the demons that hadn’t entered the sects cultivate?

Yi Hu pondered repeatedly, and actually took out the spiritual essence given to her by A’Ruan. Zi Ying glanced at her: “Are you trying to die? Taking out these spiritual essences now, be careful not to fall into the tiger’s mouth.”

At this moment, the Purple-Eyed Tiger couldn’t spare her any attention. Feng Lingyuan and Shen Yin had high cultivation, and with the aid of the Passing Years Lamp, the Purple-Eyed Tiger, although a spiritual body formed from the remains of an ancient divine beast, couldn’t defeat the two of them for a while.

Yi Hu was frustrated with the speed of her cultivation. She also wanted to help Shen Yin a little, especially when facing danger.

She admitted that being protected was a very happy thing. For her, an orphan in her previous life, this feeling was wonderful, with a warm current constantly flowing through her heart. But the feeling of being powerless when the person she cared about faced danger was also unbearable.

Always being protected made her feel somewhat useless.

“Zi Ying, you’ve been wandering in this world for so long. Do you know how demons cultivate?”

“I wasn’t a demon when I was alive, how would I know?”

Demons are all different, and their cultivation methods vary. The cultivation methods after the initial birth of sentience and after transforming into human form are also different. Moreover, except for those raised by sects, most demons travel alone, cultivating in secluded spots.

Furthermore, each demon’s cultivation method is different. Even knowing the cultivation method of a similar demon is useless, and it’s even more useless for a human. Almost no one deeply researches the cultivation methods of demons.

She was somewhat putting Zi Ying on the spot.

Yi Hu also understood that she was being somewhat whimsical. She lowered her eyes and stared at the spiritual essences. The only demon she had truly encountered that knew cultivation methods was A’Ruan. Since A’Ruan said these spiritual essences were a blessing for demons, they were naturally not useless decorations, but A’Ruan hadn’t taught her how to use them.

Cultivators only have one spiritual essence, and she hadn’t heard of anyone operating multiple spiritual essences at the same time. However, there were some evil practitioners who would devour others’ spiritual essences to increase their cultivation.

Blessing, what is a blessing?

Yi Hu couldn’t figure it out. Zi Ying constantly sighed beside her. She looked up and saw Zi Ying staring longingly at the two people and one tiger entangled in the fight. She was very afraid of being annihilated here.

Yi Hu was also afraid of being annihilated here, but seeing Zi Ying’s usually arrogant, cruel, and vicious appearance, she was somewhat unaccustomed to her face full of worry and fear of death. In fact, she had already died, hadn’t she? The wisp of soul remaining now was no longer a living being, but an Evil Spirit.

Evil Spirits cannot control their own minds. They crave blood, desire souls, and find pleasure in harming living beings.

Because Zi Ying devoured the spiritual consciousness of the Purple Jade Whip, she became a symbiotic entity of spiritual consciousness and Evil Spirit. She could control herself better than ordinary Evil Spirits, but she was indeed no longer a recognized living being in this world.

Since her soul was drawn into the Blood Sea, Zi Ying must have been a cultivator, not a demon, in her lifetime.

“Zi Ying, do you Evil Spirits remember your life before death? Which sect or faction were you a disciple of?”

Before death…

Zi Ying’s pupils contracted, gradually losing focus: “Hah, I was just a peasant woman from the countryside before, where would I have a sect?”

She was probably lying to her. If she was a peasant woman and had never cultivated, then why would her soul appear in the Blood Sea?

Ordinary people should have entered the path of reincarnation long ago.

Zi Ying was serious like never before. She slightly closed her eyes, seemingly contemplating her past.

Along with the surging memories, two lines of bloody tears gradually fell from the corners of Zi Ying’s eyes. The bloody tears dissipated at the corners of her eyes before they could fall. Those were the tears of an Evil Spirit.

“I am human. I almost forgot that I am human.”

It seemed she really was human.

Yi Hu found it even harder to understand. The Blood Sea only draws the souls of demons and cultivators.

Humans should not be here.

Zi Ying suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Yi Hu: “I know what you’re wondering about. It’s nothing more than why my soul, as a human, would come here. You’ve only heard that the Blood Sea will draw the souls of cultivators and demons, but the souls of people who die here are also unable to escape the Blood Sea.”

She died here.

But why would a human come to the Blood Sea? How could an ordinary person have the ability to open a channel to the Blood Sea?

Yi Hu couldn’t figure it out, and Zi Ying wouldn’t tell her either.

Her recollection ended. She didn’t tell the rest of the story. That was her past, her secret, and she was unwilling to share it with Yi Hu. Yi Hu was just food to her.

The Vessel Body was a delicious delicacy.

Including her master.

She would kill Shen Yin and regain her freedom sooner or later.

Yi Hu’s conversation with her ended. The fighting became increasingly fierce. Yi Hu couldn’t see clearly, only analyzing the increasingly terrifying battle through the sounds.

She exhaled, feeling somewhat exhausted in her heart.

Yi Hu reluctantly circulated her spiritual energy. She genuinely wanted to help Shen Yin somehow, even if it was just a small help.

“Are you crazy! You’re cultivating in an array!”

Zi Ying felt the violent surge of spiritual energy in Yi Hu’s body and turned around. She actually found Yi Hu circulating her cultivation method. She had never heard of anyone cultivating in a fierce array. This was not a Spirit Gathering Array!

The essence of cultivation is to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body. However, the spiritual energy in this array is void, the nourishment left by the array setter. Every bit is used to supply the array. And the Blood Sea territory, separated by the array, is simply a dead land.

Yi Hu actually had the wild idea of cultivating here. What she drew in naturally wouldn’t be spiritual energy, but Death Energy.

Although Zi Ying would be glad if she died, Shen Yin had entrusted Yi Hu to her now. If they couldn’t defeat the Purple-Eyed Tiger, it would be fine if everyone died here. But if they defeated the Purple-Eyed Tiger, and Yi Hu died, being erased by Shen Yin would be a net loss.

Zi Ying called out to stop her, but the spiritual energy in Yi Hu’s body actually started circulating automatically. Yi Hu couldn’t stop.

Not only her, but all the spiritual essences around her began to emit multi-colored light. The light was bright, drawing out small whirlpools. As the whirlpools grew larger, a mass of black fog actually began to appear. Zi Ying grabbed the black fog, which transformed into the likeness of a child in her palm. Its cold eyes stared intently at Zi Ying, and there was still some dark red blood at the corner of its mouth. It bared its teeth at Zi Ying.

It was fierce, but Zi Ying was fiercer.

She opened her mouth and swallowed the child, then let out a satisfied burp.

The food of Evil Spirits is fresh blood, flesh and bone, and souls. Zi Ying had been hungry for nearly a thousand years following Shen Yin.

She finally tasted the flavor of a soul again.

Fragrant!

And it was an Evil Spirit stained with blood! A great tonic!

“Ah!” Zi Ying was still secretly delighted about her full meal when Yi Hu beside her suddenly let out a wail.

She turned her head and saw green energy and some black energy floating out of the whirlpool, all continuously drilling into Yi Hu’s body. The green energy was spiritual energy, and the black energy was the Death Energy of the Blood Sea.

These spiritual essences actually bypassed the array, opening a channel to the Blood Sea, drawing half of the spiritual energy from outside the array and half of the Death Energy from inside the array into her body.

Spiritual essences were truly powerful good things. Zi Ying’s greedy gaze gradually fell on those spiritual essences. There must be many spiritual essences of millennium-old great demons among them. She swallowed her saliva, reached out her hand, and then sharply pulled it back.

Spirits do not have spiritual essences.

These spiritual essences would be useless even if given to her.

Yi Hu was truly lucky to have obtained so many precious spiritual essences from one trip to the Walled City.

With so much spiritual energy entering her body, her cultivation might rapidly advance.

However, there was also Death Energy mixed in. Would this demon die from inhaling Death Energy?

She tried to send a little spiritual consciousness towards her, but before it could even touch Yi Hu, it was bounced back by the barrier formed by the spiritual essences around her.

More black fog gradually emerged from the whirlpool. These were Evil Spirits from the Blood Sea trying to escape the Blood Sea using this opportunity. Zi Ying saw that she couldn’t help Yi Hu anyway, so she simply stood in front of the whirlpool, waiting to devour any that came out.

Even if I’m going to die, I should eat my fill.

She unceremoniously swallowed every Evil Spirit that emerged. Suddenly, she bit down on a soft arm.

“Evil Spirit, audacious!” She looked intently. It was no Evil Spirit.

It was a woman in purple clothes, looking around thirty years old, possessing considerable charm.

The most striking feature was a purple butterfly resting on the tip of her eyebrow, lifelike.

But her eyes were full of frost. She stared at Zi Ying, a coldness spreading from the corner of her mouth.

The arm Zi Ying bit was no longer soft, gradually becoming hard, more like biting a stone. Zi Ying was momentarily stunned and reluctantly let go.

But her gaze towards the woman in purple was cold. She had devoured too many Evil Spirits, and the evil nature suppressed by the Purple Jade Whip gradually surfaced, even turning her eyes blood-red: “What are you? You dare to scold me!”

“To send you on your way.” The purple-clothed woman’s smile grew colder, as if she wouldn’t stop until she had killed Zi Ying.

What a joke! There are always some self-important people who think they can kill all the Evil Spirits in the world.

She didn’t eat her, yet she wanted to kill her.

Although she was imprisoned in the Purple Jade Whip now and some of her cultivation was sealed by Jing Shu’s restrictions, she was able to hold out for seven days and seven nights against Mo Tianji, the former Chief Elder with the strongest battle power in the Immortal Spirit Sect’s history.

How dare a demon without even a name now threaten her!

Zi Ying was not afraid of her. She didn’t dare to step forward and fight the Purple-Eyed Tiger, but that didn’t mean she would be afraid of this purple-clothed woman.

The purple-clothed woman didn’t say another word. As she spoke, she was about to fight Zi Ying.

Purple light emanated from her body, actually causing the whirlpool to grow larger, drawing in more spiritual energy and Death Energy. Yi Hu also became increasingly pained.

“Ah!”

That cry of agony finally shifted the purple-clothed woman’s gaze to Yi Hu. She was momentarily stunned: “Such shallow cultivation, yet she dares to circulate so many spiritual essences at once. Where did this foolish demon come from?”
