Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1904: Chapter 1421: Awaiting Restoration

In the pitch-black depths of the cave, a group of eight Demon Cultivators tread carefully, fearing any hidden dangers they might encounter.

Whether it was due to their good fortune or the passage of time rendering any possible traps ineffective, they encountered no danger along the way and smoothly reached the end of the tunnel.

”Is this the legendary Changyou relic mentioned in the Treasure Map?”

The group stared at the bronze gate before them, carved with various fierce ghostly creatures, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, while deep down, different thoughts lingered.

”If this truly is the Changyou relic, then we’re going to strike it rich!”

It’s known that Chang You was a formidable Heavenly Immortal Great Demon from two or three thousand years ago, whose prowess was unmatched, and he was adept in the Demonic Tao with mastery over the Fierce Ghosts, Blood Sea, Yin Corpses, and White Bones magic veins, considered the number one in the Demonic Tao!

Back then, the Heavenly Dao dispatched eight Heavenly Immortal Cultivators to ambush him, aiming to eliminate this menace. Little did they expect, what seemed a surefire situation ended with Chang You breaking through the encirclement, severely injuring three or four of the Heavenly Immortals.

After that battle, Chang You’s fame grew even more, from the number one of the Demonic Tao to the number one in the Primal Spirit Realm, dominating all living cultivators of his era.

That era also marked the peak strength of the Demonic Tao forces, as they occupied large territories across the other three continents, casting the entire Primal Spirit Realm under the shadow of demons.

Yet, at some point, Chang You vanished without a trace!

Some speculate he accumulated too much Karmic Force and perished under Heavenly Punishment; others believe he transcended and left the Primal Spirit Realm; and some think he underwent Daoist transformation and passed away...

Various speculations ran rampant, and aside from the Demonic Tao, all other factions breathed a sigh of relief.

Without such a peerless master, the Demonic Tao’s influence quickly declined, and most of the lands they had occupied were reclaimed.

Back to the matter at hand!

”Yes, if the Treasure Map is accurate, then the resources and opportunities for achieving Heavenly Immortal status are right here!”

With these words, all eight present couldn’t help but show excitement and fervor.

Despite being Earth Immortals, which would make them Ancestor Masters in name, within those Heavenly Immortal Great Demons’ eyes, they were merely slightly superior expendables, not easily utilized.

But no matter how superior, expendables remain expendables; their life and death are beyond their own control!

However, upon observing their expressions closely, one would notice beneath the excitement and fervor lies hidden apprehension, caution, and an endless stream of treacherous schemes.

In the Demonic Tao, trust is nonexistent!

No matter how united they may seem now, when faced with a conflict of interest, or rather even without conflict, as long as the stakes are high enough, they wouldn’t hesitate to stab the person next to them!

But for now, confronted with unknown danger, they maintained a facade of unity.

”Who among you is willing to open the door?”

With this question, there was immediate silence, as no one wanted to risk potential danger.

”Why not let this puppet of mine do it?” A frail-looking Demon Cultivator, shrouded in a wide black robe, suggested in a chilly voice.

”Since Pang is willing, then let’s rely on you.”

The group thought it over and no one objected, as it was uncertain whether the gate posed any danger, making the puppet a fitting substitute.

Pang Wei silently retrieved a humanoid puppet from his robes, not infusing it with Mana, but powering it with Spirit Stones and controlling it with Puppet Silk to open the door.

Seeing this, the few Demon Cultivators couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise; his methods seemed excessively cautious!

However, their attention quickly shifted to the puppet, watching as it strode towards the bronze door, exerting all its strength to push.

Squeak—

Accompanied by the dull sound of the door creaking open, their presumed test or threshold proved nonexistent.

Yet they didn’t rush forward, instead signaling Pang Wei to continue maneuvering the puppet ahead to ensure safety.

They dared to tread only where the puppet had passed.

It’s unsurprising they were so cautious; after all, the Great Demon Changyou’s reputation was terrifying enough that even casual arrangements might spell disaster for them.

The group safely entered the cave’s hall, still shrouded in darkness, utterly empty.

”Could it be there’s no treasure at all? That we’ve wasted all this time, running here for nothing,” a Demon Cultivator grumbled.

Many Demon Cultivators shared similar thoughts, feeling quite discontent.

”Look carefully; there are small doors on the walls. That’s where the true treasure lies!” Had he not feared the door hiding dangers, he wouldn’t have bothered to alert these fools.

But as it turned out, these fools checking first became convenient to him; if there was danger, their lives could serve as shields.

Soon enough, disappointment struck as there was no danger or trap behind the doors. In the next moment, they became aware, realizing an abundance of the various Spiritual Objects they sought.

”Quick! Collect these at once; we can’t waste such precious materials. They are vital for our cultivation ahead and mustn’t suffer any loss,” a Demon Cultivator urgently urged.
