Great Sun Demonic God Body Refining Method

The Purgatory Sect.

One of the Ten Great Demonic Sects.

Each of its Spirit Refining methods, the Six Desires Demonic Art, the Heartless Canon, and the Seed Demon Art, are all about benefiting oneself at the expense of others. Furthermore, during times of great chaos, the Purgatory Sect and other factions were the first to stir up trouble, directly opposing the Great Qian Dynasty, which is why they were branded as demonic sects.

In contrast, the Six Great Immortal Sects also have many methods that benefit oneself at the expense of others. However, they are dedicated to maintaining relations with the Great Qian Dynasty and preserving order in their respective regions, which is why they are called immortal sects. They attract countless individuals who consider themselves righteous to join them, practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality.

"Truly a gathering of powerhouses."

Gu Jinlai put down the intelligence on the Purgatory Sect. "They govern over thirty million citizens in Chizhou, with an annual tax revenue of nearly two hundred million. They have cultivated countless experts, with dozens of Spirit Refining elders. The Sect Master and the elders of the council have all achieved Yin Spirit, and there are even Supreme Elders at the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm. In addition, there are hundreds of Core Condensation protectors, and they claim to have three thousand true disciples!"

True Disciples!

Only those who have refined true qi and are under the age of forty can be called true disciples.

The Purgatory Sect dares to claim three thousand true disciples...

Although there must be some exaggeration in that number, the total number of Qi Refining and True Qi masters in the entire sect is definitely over four thousand.

In addition, the Purgatory Sect has twenty thousand outer disciples, trains thirty thousand elite troops, and commands sixty thousand regular soldiers. Those who rely on the Purgatory Sect for their livelihood number as many as a million.

This is an undeniable behemoth.

Compared to the Purgatory Sect, the Gu Family of Chifeng City, the Demon Refining Hall of Changjun City, and even the City Lord's Mansion of Changjun City are not worth mentioning.

Even the Provincial Lord of Xingzhou, who governs thirty thousand elite troops and can mobilize the armies of surrounding cities, is inferior to him.

This is due to the lower proportion of high-level experts.

"Although the Purgatory Sect is powerful as one of the Ten Great Demonic Sects, it is also rife with internal factions, and Lin Xiao only represents the interests of a small group. This small group is not even a united front."

Gu Jinlai looked at these figures. While he felt pressure, he was not panicked.

A large enterprise.

For a faction like the Purgatory Sect, moving one part affects the whole.

Thirty thousand elite troops and sixty thousand regular soldiers all need to be stationed in different regions. It's like a company's total assets versus its liquid capital; the power that can be freely mobilized is at most one-fifth.

Once they show weakness and their capital chain breaks, there will be plenty of factions eager to take a bite out of them, leaving them scarred, or even causing internal collapse and bleeding to death.

"Nian Buwang."

Gu Jinlai called out.

"Old Ancestor."

Nian Buwang's voice came from outside the door.

"Summon Su Nanxing."

"Yes."

Nian Buwang complied and, a short while later, brought Su Nanxing into the room.

"What was the spoils of war?"

"The Treasure Artifacts were severely damaged. The spoils are worth about one hundred thousand taels."

Su Nanxing replied.

"Better than nothing."

Gu Jinlai said, placing the Innate Primordial Chaos Art and the Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Sword before him. "From now on, you will cultivate this set of techniques and swordsmanship. Once you've learned them, I will bestow other secret arts upon you."

"Yes."

Su Nanxing asked no further questions and complied.

Whatever his master told him to practice, he would practice.

"Nian Buwang."

Gu Jinlai handed him a box containing the Tianyuan Creation Art, Innate Primordial Chaos Art, Tianyuan Sword Control Art, Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Sword, Mayfly Hidden Blade Sword, Immeasurable Divine Fist, and Sigh of Dragon Transformation Art. "Act discreetly and bring these back to the Gu Family as quickly as possible!"

"Yes."

"Also, inform the Family Head that from now on, the Gu Family can sustain an income of two... one million taels of silver per year, enough to support three thousand elite troops. However, whether to support three thousand elite troops or one thousand elite troops and focus on cultivating family disciples in Qi Refining is his choice."

"Yes."

Nian Buwang's expression was somewhat excited.

Three thousand elite troops.

Among the twenty-six cities in Xingzhou, Changjun City was a major city with a population of one million, and its City Lord's Mansion could only support six thousand elite troops.

Cities like Lingxiao City and Luori City would be fortunate to have half that number of elite troops.

Chifeng City was similar to Lingxiao City and Luori City.

If the Gu Family could truly support three thousand elite troops, it would undoubtedly soar to become the largest power in Chifeng City, even ruling it.

"Go and return quickly."

Gu Jinlai spoke, turning to Su Nanxing, "You'll accompany me."

"Yes."

Su Nanxing agreed.

Core Condensation was considered a top-tier expert in any province.

In county towns like Huayin County, they were essentially uncrowned kings.

With him present, the scriptures would be safe.

After the two left, Gu Jinlai shifted his attention to the little consciousness figure in his mental world.

Out of the ten members of the Golden Seal Squad, six had exploded on the spot. The remaining four were one light red and three bright red.

He had Su Nanxing deal with the light red one. Of the three bright red ones, one had been killed by him, transforming into three streams of Pure Light.

"My Great Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method has reached minor completion in the second refinement, but I haven't dared to cultivate it at all these past few days."

Gu Jinlai said in a low voice.

Cultivation was Qi Refining to Spirit Transforming.

He had already depleted his Blood Essence by forming Spiritual Awareness. If he continued to refine Qi into Spirit, strengthening his Spiritual Awareness, his Blood Essence would be further depleted until he could no longer maintain the state of Qi Condensation, falling back to Gang Condensation.

After another two to three years of cultivation, the Essence and Qi within him wouldn't even be enough to be refined into true Qi, causing him to fall back to the Blood Changing realm.

Unless he could find a way to strengthen his body and rapidly replenish his Blood Essence.

Gu Jinlai glanced at the Crimson Blood Demonic God Body Refining Method.

"If a righteous cultivation method could replenish Blood Essence, the Celestial Masters would have discovered it long ago. I have to take an unconventional path. The Crimson Blood Demonic God Body Refining Method was painstakingly created by the elders of the Tianyuan Dao. It's said that if cultivated to its peak, one can transform into a thirty-foot demonic god, invincible. Its power and efficiency are beyond doubt."

He was very satisfied with this cultivation method.

His goal was to compensate for its shortcomings.

"Let me see the limits of my brain,"

Gu Jinlai declared.

The next moment, a stream of Pure Light washed down towards the little consciousness figure in his mind.

Instantly, his brain entered an overclocked state once more.

With the Crimson Blood Demonic God Body Refining Method as the core, countless ideas spawned.

The Crimson Blood Demonic God Body Refining Method cultivated by absorbing and refining the blood of Demonic Beasts made for rapid progress, but it was influenced by the nature of Demonic Beasts, which devoured humans and spirits.

Over time, one's mind would lose control, transforming into a demonic creature consumed by the spirit-devouring instinct.

Demonic Beast nature!

Spirit devouring!

The root of spirit devouring...

Demon Spirits!

The soul secret arts of the Celestial Masters were specifically created to eliminate Demon Spirits.

The Great Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method had a secret art called the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Soul Secret Method, which drew upon the power of the radiant Great Sun, flashing with blinding light, illuminating all under heaven, and burning away Demon Spirits!

Countless pieces of information from all aspects were continuously synthesized and summarized in Gu Jinlai's mind.

Finally...

It coalesced into a flash of inspiration.

As long as the energy released by the Great Sun's light burst was pure and powerful enough, the nature of Demonic Beasts in the demonic blood could be purified by the power of the radiant Great Sun.

Gu Jinlai suddenly understood.

Demon Spirits feared light.

Therefore, Demon Spirits did not operate during the day.

Even when transformed into Demonic Beasts, they would hide in dark corners, rarely appearing in broad daylight.

This was common knowledge since ancient times.

In the past century, some Celestial Masters had considered using the intensely yang and rigid power, like that of the Great Sun, to purify the demonic nature in demonic blood and turn it into cultivation resources. However, they had all failed.

But Gu Jinlai, in his state of enlightenment, had grasped the truth.

The intensely yang and rigid power envisioned by the Celestial Masters could indeed purify the demonic nature in demonic blood, but...

It lacked purity!

It was like how a thousand-degree Celsius temperature could melt steel, but not tungsten!

As long as the Great Sun envisioned was powerful enough, the demonic nature in demonic blood could be directly purified.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Pure Light dissipated, and Gu Jinlai's enlightenment-like state was interrupted.

But...

The opportunity to resolve the Celestial Master's predicament was right before him; how could he possibly miss it?

Another beam of Pure Light was channeled into his consciousness.

This time, he was using this Pure Light to perfect and comprehend the Crimson Blood Demonic God Body Refining Method.

Ten seconds later, he emerged from his state of enlightenment once more.

Simultaneously, a new light sphere floated out from within his consciousness, orbiting him.

Unnamed Body Refining Method.

"Another deep purple light sphere."

Gu Jinlai smiled faintly.

Knowledge is power!

Indeed, human potential is limitless.

He paused on this light sphere for a moment, considering that the core of this brand-new body refining method still relied on the Great Sun from the Great Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method...

With a thought, the light sphere's name changed.

Great Sun Demonic God Body Refining Method: Beginner.
