Lord Rat's Ambition, Nascent Soul Divine Sense!

Afterwards, the demonic calamity continued to spread for more than half a year.

The six prefectures of the Clear Blue Kingdom were thrown into chaos by that madman Zhou Yuan.

Di Prefecture and Huang Province were particularly hard hit, with blood sacrifice incidents breaking out one after another. The two prefectures lost thousands of ordinary villages and towns.

The local protectorates were in a state of chaos, with Golden Core cultivators rushing around, hunting down the remaining Devil Cultivator who had been hiding in the shadows.

The Supreme Purity Sect in Qing Province could no longer sit idly by and successively dispatched a Nascent Soul True Lord to oversee the battle in Di Prefecture.

The effect of the Nascent Soul cultivator's intervention was immediate.

A large number of Devil Cultivator were eradicated. In Di Prefecture alone, more than 870 Devil Cultivator were killed within three months, including 26 who were at the Foundation Establishment or above.

As for Zhou Yuan, the instigator, he eventually escaped!

After obtaining that crimson Golden Core, this guy became as slippery as an eel.

The Nascent Soul True Lord personally chased after them three times, but each time, the other party seemed to have received advance notice and fled beforehand.

This infuriated a certain True Lord, who nearly destroyed the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain Range.

Later, news spread that Zhou Yuan had fled back to the Jin Kingdom and sought refuge in the Blood Bone Devil Sect's stronghold, thus becoming a figure of considerable influence.

No matter how capable Nascent Soul True Lord is, it's impossible for them to cross the border to capture people from the Jin Kingdom, as that would be tantamount to reigniting a national war.

And so the matter was left unresolved.

Zhou Yuan couldn't be caught, but the mess he left behind remains.

The Devil Cultivator scattered throughout the Clear Azure Kingdom were either wiped out, hidden deeper into the wilderness, or simply transformed into Rogue Cultivator cultivators, robbing and plundering everywhere.

Zombies roam freely, evil formations remain, and the poison of blood sacrifices lingers...

The various aftereffects will take many years to completely eliminate.

These messy things have little to do with Ming Province.

Ming Province is located in the northwest, which is remote, and Ming Province also relatively wealthy. The strength of the four protectors is also quite impressive.

The Devil Cultivator aren't stupid, so naturally few of them venture to this place.

During the entire Demonic Calamity, Ming Province only experienced seven or eight zombie horde incidents, the largest of which involved tens of thousands of zombies attacking the city.

White Cloud Temple handled the situation with ease.

The patrolling disciples of the External Affairs Hall occasionally encountered a few suspicious Rogue Cultivator. After arresting them and interrogating them, they found that most of them were just petty thieves.

He was either a habitual thief of Spirit Stone or an unlucky fellow who had an affair with his master's wife and was expelled from the sect; he had absolutely nothing to do with the demonic path.

Yun Du scrolls through the messages sent from all over the country every day.

After you've finished reading, put it aside and go meditate or cultivate your Blessed Land Blessed Land.

"The affairs of this world..."

One evening, Yun Du sat on the edge of the cliff in White Peak Cloud Gorge, looking at the sunset and whispering to Yun Qi beside him.

"The more you meddle, the faster you'll die."

"Take care of your own little plot of land; that's better than anything else..."

Yun Qi nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that although the abbot's words were rough, the reasoning behind them was sound.

The White Cloud Temple was able to grow from a small, nearly collapsed sect into the Northern Protectorate it is today, and that was never due to any righteous mission or exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path.

It all comes down to two words: pragmatism!

Do things that can earn Spirit Stone, and don't do things that lose money.

Fight to the death in battles you can win; stay away from battles you can't win.

Yun Du thoroughly implemented this philosophy and even wrote it down in a book called: The Follow the Heart Cultivation Method!

It was regarded as a masterpiece by the Yun Clan and passed down from generation to generation.

After several waves of zombies, the Lord Rat didn't rest either.

As usual, he led his people to clean up the battlefields, packing up the remains, bones, and yin-type spiritual materials, and sending them all to the Nine Winds Valley Secret Realm.

The Shu Laosan, ironically, benefited from this demonic calamity.

Not only did his cultivation progress extremely quickly, but he also transformed many spiritual lands within the secret realm, such as a medicinal garden for planting yin-attribute spirit medicine.

For example, he created a place of yin energy to allow his clan to multiply and thrive, and as a result, all the rat demon bloodlines of his lineage were tainted with Yin Spirit energy...

There is a strong sense that it is trying to form its own unique style.

The Lord Rat did not object to this. As long as it could strengthen the clan and develop more branches, what was wrong with that?

The Lord Rat also hoped that the Spirit Rat Line could, like its ancestor, develop into various branches and lineages of the Rat Race, thus spreading its influence far and wide.

He, the Lord Rat, also longed to be called: Ancestor, and to be the Demon King of Rats!

Therefore, he never questioned or cut off his support for Shu Laosan's idea of establishing the Yin Rat Line.

On the contrary, we hope that the Shu Laosan can truly lead the clan to open up a completely new path, so that they can see a bright future!

On Purple Firmament Peak.

Shi Jian lay down by the Thunder Pool and yawned deeply. He had heard about the demonic calamities that had been happening recently.

However, he didn't care.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lord Rat amassed a large amount of Yin-attribute resources to cultivate Yin Spirit Rat, intending to create a new branch.

This is quite an interesting matter.

The Lord Rat his own ideas and ambitions, which is a good thing. Shi Jian likes ambitious subordinates the most.

Whether they are Kuang Dou or Lord Rat, the more they strive to rise above others.

The more this increases the fighting strength of the various tribes under Shi Jian's command, the more they will compete and infight with each other, which is indeed a good thing!

As long as he doesn't cause any major problems, he'll be there to hold the sky up even if it falls apart.

With this in mind, Shi Jian summoned the Enlightenment System. Having been in seclusion for so many years, he had accumulated quite a few Enlightenment opportunities.

[Enlightenment: 35]

[Realm: Golden Core Middle Stage (Level 6 Demon General)]

With a thought, Shi Jian Enlightenment himself thirty more times, and the bear phantom in his soul was once again condensed and strengthened.

At the Early Golden Core, he already possessed the strength of Golden Core Perfection, and even had a preliminary grasp of the Nascent Soul level of spiritual power.

He is now at the Golden Core Middle Stage.

His Divine Sense power completely rivaled that of a Nascent Soul Enlightenment, and with thirty enlightenments he received in one go, his divine soul was strengthened once again!

When Shi Jian opened his eyes again, a thought flashed through his mind...

Then, his Divine Sense materialized into a physical bear cub, which stood before him. Its Divine Sense extended outwards, enough to cover the entire Ming Province Northern Protectorate!

He could even pass through the formation to spy on Yun Du, making it impossible for the other party to detect him, and freely overlooking the vast land.

If he were to unleash a soul strike, Shi Jian was confident he could crush Golden Core!

Even in a simple battle of Divine Sense against Nascent Soul cultivator, he has the ability to fight.

Such a boost even made Purple Firmament, who was hidden within his body, feel suppressed and dare not show himself.
