Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 275 - 29: Killing to Silence

But that didn't seem right either. Although Divine Tao cultivators were not the mainstream of the Ancient Method Immortal Path, they were not particularly rare; the Holy Infant Sect from ten thousand years ago was the epitome of Divine Tao Sects. Evil gods were rarer than ordinary gods, but Zhen Chan wouldn't have never seen one—considering that Zhen Chan didn't recognize the evil demon both times at Xin Mountain.

Moreover, the evil demon this time came from a Heterodox Demon Statue, which was excavated from the ruins of the Demon Clan, suggesting a relation to the civilization of the Demon Clan from over a hundred thousand years ago… Demon Clan Civilization...

Wang Qi tapped his head again, "I still don't know enough about the Demon Clan Civilization... It seems to involve theocracy, right? I can't quite remember, I'll need to check it later. Oh right… Old man! Old man!"

Wang Qi looked at his ring, calling out several times, before finally a stream of Soul Power flowed into the ring to get a response.

Zhen Chan's tone was uncertain and surprised, "You... you are still Wang Qi?"

Wang Qi laughed, "Why talk like that?"

Zhen Chan spoke gravely, "I thought you had been possessed."

"How could that be? Haven't you noticed? My actions are typical of me."

"No no no," Zhen Chan said, "A natural Heart Demon reaching enlightenment or a high-level Demon Cultivator possessing someone can completely retain the memories of the other..."

Wang Qi waved his hand dismissively, "Come on, I suspect the knowledge in my memory isn't something mere Ancient Method Mahayana could comprehend or absorb. Additionally, that Destructive Demon's actions are chaotic; it seems to not even understand what possession is. Why didn't you respond when I called you just now?"

Zhen Chan sighed, "That demon is too bizarre; I was afraid that after he killed you, he would destroy me too, so I sealed my six senses."

Wang Qi told Zhen Chan about what had happened and then asked, "Old man, have you ever heard of this damn Qi King?"

Zhen Chan shook his head, "I have never heard of such a strange divine name. Divine Tao cultivators usually hold titles like Emperor, Venerable, or Saint, and oversee either natural phenomena that mortals can perceive or trivial matters closely related to mortals, since Divine Tao essentially relies on mortals who provide a great deal of Incense Fire Power... 'Qi King,' could it be asking cultivators to worship? Hahaha."

Wang Qi further inquired, "Is the Qi King a Divine Spirit worshipped by the Demon Clan? It seems they followed a path of theocracy back in the day, could Divine Tao have been prevalent?"

"That… I'm not sure; it's been so many years since the Demon Clan existed..."

Wang Qi was dismayed, "Why? The ruins of the Demon Clan are used by Ancient Method Practitioners, and Luofu Xuanqing Palace even rose to prominence by relying on a large ruin..."

Zhen Chan appeared somewhat embarrassed, "Do you think all cultivators are as idle as you Modern Cultivators? For us, as long as the items inside are useful, that's enough."

Wang Qi uttered an understanding sound, figuring out: It's essentially the difference between grave robbers and archaeologists.

Ancient Method Practitioners prioritized resources like Elixirs, Magic Artifacts, and materials found in ruins, using them immediately as excavated, whereas Modern Cultivators thought differently. Magic Artifacts and Elixirs from ruins were definitely not as good as current ones; materials had some uses, but after the development of Spirit Energy Theory and the Human Clan's ability to freely convert Spiritual Energy Attributes, any material could be mass-produced industrially, making their value plummet repeatedly. Modern Cultivators essentially disregarded the resources from ruins, finding the transmitted information somewhat useful instead. It must be known that Modern Immortal Path is a scientific community—in the eyes of Modern Cultivators, Ancient Method Immortal Path History was like ancient technology history, relevant to modern technology development, thus investigating and archaeology were also part of the Immortal Alliance's functions.

Zhen Chan asked, "Have you awakened Divine Skills? Show me."

Following the instructions, Wang Qi released a cluster of Holy Light in his hand, asking, "How does it look?"

"Give a demonstration."

Wang Qi then demonstrated the ability to rejuvenate dead wood once more. Zhen Chan sighed, "Compared to most healing Divine Skills I've seen, your Holy Light is far superior."

"Feeling tempted, are you?"

Zhen Chan nodded, "I've considered it; if there's a chance to rebuild my body in the future, cultivating this method, which is easy to start but hard to master, is a good choice."

Wang Qi nodded, "It relies not so much on mathematical reasoning but more on observations of phenomena. Plus, it's undefined, allowing anyone to cultivate their ideal version, indeed well-suited for you."

"Yes..." Zhen Chan was in the midst of speaking when he suddenly halted, then said, "Wang Qi, hurry, hurry! Escape! Someone is coming to kill you!"

Wang Qi was startled, "Which direction?"

"From Xiangkou… Damn, how could this be! There are five at Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Wang Qi remained calm, "Five Ancient Method Foundation Establishment, is it... You set the escape route! They might not be able to handle me."

Zhen Chan's tone was very bitter, "It's over, it's over... Not five Ancient Method Foundation Establishment, but four Ancient Method Foundation Establishment and one Modern Foundation Establishment…"
