Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 937: Chapter 470: Refining the Human Emperor Banner, Human Dao Sacred Artifact

At the same time, Ice Prison, Demon Flame City.

This is a city of Demon Cultivators, home to millions of Demonic practitioners, known as a paradise for them.

Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer hail from Demon Flame City.

They are even Elders of the city, wielding great authority.

When the two perished, their death was instantly sensed by the many Elders of Demon Flame City.

”Oh, Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer are dead? How exactly did they die? Who killed them?”

A Void Refining Elder asked curiously.

Though Demon Cultivators are inherently cold-hearted, they are still curious about the cause of death.

After all, a Refining Void Cultivator is already considered a powerful existence in Ice Prison.

Unless an Integration Stage Cultivator personally takes action, it’s difficult to kill a Refining Void Cultivator.

Normally, they could continue to wreak havoc for several millennia, tens of thousands of years, but who would have thought they’d suddenly die without a trace, it’s quite inexplicable.

”They died in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.”

”It’s said they went to the Ice Crystal Mountain Range to massacre some small villages to cultivate Demon Techniques.”

”Normally, that place shouldn’t be overly dangerous, but they died nonetheless.”

”Could it be that they awakened the Integration Stage Exotic Beasts slumbering in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range?”

A Refining Void Demon Cultivator expressed puzzlement.

To be honest, the Ice Crystal Mountain Range is quite complex; superficially, the vast mountain range houses numerous Low-Tier Exotic Beasts, theoretically posing no threat to Refining Void Cultivators.

But in fact, they aren’t aware that the mountain range actually harbors many hidden dangers, with some Integration Stage Exotic Beasts lying dormant.

Of course, as long as Integration Stage Cultivators don’t venture into the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, they won’t awaken these powerful beasts.

For Low-Tier Cultivators, the Ice Crystal Mountain Range is relatively safe.

It’s akin to a slumbering dragon that pays no heed to ants near its lair.

”Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer are cunning and shrewd, how could they possibly provoke an Integration Stage Exotic Beast?”

”Indeed, I believe an unusual mishap must have occurred.”

”Perhaps it’s related to Spirit Ruins Realm; recently, the Spirit Ruins Realm has been tossing numerous undead demons into Ice Prison, plunging it into chaos with countless deaths and injuries.”

”Hehe, it’s said that the Great Xuan Dynasty is at war with demons, an intense conflict, thus dumping the untamable demons into our Ice Prison, treating our place as a garbage dump.”

”How despicable, given a chance to leave Ice Prison, I surely would seek revenge on the Great Xuan Dynasty, to show them what treating us like this means.”

”Could it be that Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer encountered demons from the outside world, leading to their deaths in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range? If so, they truly had bad luck.”

”It’s too rash to conclude; we still need evidence. Who’s willing to go to the Ice Crystal Mountain Range to investigate the cause of their deaths?”

”Forget investigating, the death of two Refining Void specialists, wouldn’t more Refining Void Cultivators dying?”

”Exactly, I’m not interested in visiting the Ice Crystal Mountain Range to seek death.”

”Anyone who wants to go can go, I’m not getting involved in this matter.”

”Hehe, Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer are dead, Demon Flame City now has vacant interests, I wouldn’t bother going.”

Many Refining Void Demon Cultivators engaged in discussion.

Apparently, they aren’t concerned with the deaths of Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer, not even interested in investigating.

Indeed, this is the norm in Ice Prison.

Here, death is the main theme, lacking reason.

If dead, it simply proves one wasn’t strong enough.

Having others avenge you is nearly impossible.

Moreover, with Ice Prison in turbulent times, a slight misstep could lead to death by the outside world.

Thus, they’re not acting recklessly.

After all, they have no desire to follow in the footsteps of Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer.

Unless a Combined Demon Cultivator in Demon Flame City personally issues orders, only then will they comply.

Unfortunately, Combined Demon Cultivators often remain in seclusion, disregarding minor matters like this.

......

On the other hand, Jiang Fan returned to his original cave, leaving the place of acquiring the Immortal Stone.

After all, he isn’t certain whether Blood Beast Daoist and Old Soul Devourer have companions.

It’s best to leave quickly.

Of course, his harvest this time was immense.

Not only did he obtain two hundred Immortal Stones, but he also acquired the substantial wealth from the two Demon Cultivators.

It can be described as a bumper harvest.

Among them, what fascinated him most was naturally the Demon Artifact from Old Soul Devourer—the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Even in the Void Realm, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is a renowned Demon Dao Magical Treasure.

With a bone for the pole and flesh and blood for the banner, the surface is pitch black, moving on its own without wind, occasionally exuding dark gas, while covered in mystical runes and designs.

Moreover, it’s a growth-type Magical Treasure; as the quantity and quality of Souls absorbed increases, along with the user’s constant refining and enhancement, the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can continuously rise, potentially evolving into an Immortal Artifact.

However, forging the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is exceedingly difficult, requiring the slaughter of countless living beings to devour Souls.

The issue is that not all Souls are effective.

The higher the level of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the higher the level of Souls it needs to devour.

For instance, a Void Refining-level Ten Thousand Souls Banner needs to devour the Souls of Refining Void Cultivators; if it devours mortal Souls, even in great quantity, it won’t enhance this Magical Treasure at all.
