This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 402 - 30: Clues

Chapter 402: Chapter 30: Clues

Qiu Family Scripture Library.

After Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan visited and asked the Qiu Family Head for more information, Qiu Changqing brought them here.

In front of a huge cabinet.

Qiu Changqing pointed to the dozens of Jade Slips on display and said, “Senior Cultivators, the Jade Slips in this cabinet contain all the information our Qiu Family has recorded about the Origin Land and Origin Demons. You are welcome to browse through them as needed.”

Ji Chuan nodded, “Then, much thanks to the Qiu Family Head.”

“It’s only right, after all, you both are here to help the Qiu Family solve the catastrophe of the Origin Demon. We ought to cooperate fully,” Qiu Changqing said with a full face of smiles. “Then I will leave you to it. Please feel free to proceed, Senior Cultivators.”

Qiu Changqing tactfully said his goodbyes and left, giving the space to the two Senior Cultivators.

“Let’s have a look,” Lu Qingshan glanced at the array of Jade Slips and exhaled softly. “Let’s see if we can find some useful clues here.”

A moment later.

“Take a look at this one.” Ji Chuan handed a Jade Slip to Lu Qingshan.

The Jade Slip contained a brief introduction about the Origin Demon King:

The Origin Demon King was considered to be one of the most untouchable and hardest to kill among the Eighth Grade Demon Kings; there was always a saying that as long as the Origin Land was not barren, the Origin Demon King would not die.

This was because the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Origin Demon King was special, said to originate from the Netherworld, which the Origin Demon King had obtained from the Jiuyou Kan Yu Map.

As long as it wasn’t possible to kill the Origin Demon King in one fell swoop, he could rapidly heal his injuries by absorbing the Netherworld Death Qi.

Thus, as long as he was in the Origin Land, the Origin Demon King was nearly an immortal and indestructible being.

Furthermore, the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Origin Demon King had a special Divine Skill; he would condense a Netherworld Pearl connected to his own life, somewhat similar to a cultivator’s Golden Core.

The Netherworld Pearl had many powerful abilities, the most bizarre of which was its ability to absorb the souls of beings from the Six Paths of Reincarnation and enhance its own strength by refining these souls.

It was by this Divine Skill that the Origin Demon King was able to rise defiantly and become an Eighth Grade Demon King in the Origin Land, a place that had never seen a Seventh Grade Origin Demon before.

“Refining the souls of the living…” Lu Qingshan’s expression turned grave.

Once the souls of the living are refined, their possibilities for reincarnation are utterly severed.

This method is far too cruel and opposes the natural order, always a taboo among cultivators.

The Origin Demon King in and of itself being hard to kill, and his Divine Skills so ruthless, it’s no wonder he’s deemed one of the most untouchable Demon Kings.

If the Origin Demon King bore a grudge, with these two methods at his disposal, the consequences would truly be severe.

Lu Qingshan, holding another Jade Slip in his hand, also had something to report, “According to the records of the Qiu Family, something extremely unusual happened in the Origin Land thirty years ago.”

Ji Chuan raised his eyebrows, astonished, “How so?”

“Thirty years ago, there was a disturbance involving the Netherworld Death Qi within the Origin Land, but its specific cause is unknown.

But from that day forward, the consort of the Origin Demon, known as the Origin Demon Queen, mysteriously perished.

In his grief and anger, the Origin Demon King reportedly went on a rampage in the Origin Land, causing countless Origin Demons to shudder in fear.

At that time, some Origin Demons were even frightened enough to temporarily flee the Origin Land, only to return much later.”

“The Origin Demon Queen?” Ji Chuan inquired.

“The spouse of the Origin Demon King, a Sixth Grade Origin Demon,” Lu Qingshan explained. “If one were to discuss the Origin Demon Queen and the Origin Demon King, their tale is indeed remarkable.

The Origin Demon Queen was born with an extraordinary and noble bloodline, being a descendant of the strongest Origin Demon in the land at that time.

Due to his fortune, the Origin Demon King obtained the naturally occurring Jiuyou Kan Yu Map from the Netherworld and began his rise.

However, before his true ascension, for some reason, the Origin Demon Queen, who was then merely a minor demon, took a liking to him and married him.”

The Origin Demon King also used this opportunity to skyrocket through the ranks and became one of the most esteemed Origin Demons in the Origin Land, possessing countless resources.

Considering this, one could say that the Origin Demon Queen contributed at least ten percent to the Origin Demon King’s rise to an Eighth Grade Great Demon.

It was due to this reason that the Origin Demon King and the Origin Demon Queen shared a remarkable bond of affection. On the day of the Origin Demon Queen’s death, the Origin Demon King appeared extremely grief-stricken, which involved many Origin Demons.

“Indeed, it is quite interesting,” Ji Chuan chuckled, “despite being a demon beast, the Origin Demon King is surprisingly sentimental.”

Ji Chuan pondered for a moment and then added, “Although there is no concrete evidence, I always feel that the conspiracy of the Underworld is somehow linked to the mysterious death of the Origin Demon Queen thirty years ago.”

Lu Qingshan nodded his head in agreement.

“There is some more information about the Origin Land here.

Being a forbidden zone, the Human Race’s understanding of its structure is still very superficial.

They only know that the Origin Land is divided into four major areas: east, south, west, and north, each occupied by a Sixth Grade Origin Demon, known as the Four Great Demon Lords.

The territory of the Origin Demon King, however, is located at the very center where these four areas intersect.

The relationship between the Origin Demon King and the Four Great Demon Lords is akin to that of an emperor and his vassals in the secular world. The Origin Demon King has no intention of unifying the Origin Land directly, so the four major areas belong to the Four Great Demon Lords.

But once the Origin Demon King issues a command, all Four Great Demon Lords will obey him,” Lu Qingshan read from the Jade Slip and continued.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chuan thought for a moment and analyzed, “From this, we can at least conclude that the Origin Demons are controlled by the Demon Lords.

So many Origin Demons leaving the Origin Land to invade Burial Ridge cannot be a spontaneous, impulsive act; it must be organized and directed by someone.”

Lu Qingshan’s gaze sharpened, “A command from the Demon Lords?”

“That’s the most likely possibility. If it were a command from the Origin Demon King, the scale of the Origin Demon riot would not be so small.”

Ji Chuan nodded, “Of course, this is just what seems most likely at the moment; perhaps, in addition to the Demon Lords, there are others who can command the Origin Demons.”

“The Origin Land and Burial Ridge have always been at peace; the Origin Demons had no reason to suddenly target Burial Ridge.

After all, there is no Netherworld Death Qi in Burial Ridge, making it not a suitable place for Origin Demons to linger.

If it weren’t for them absorbing the accumulated Netherworld Death Qi from the Primordial Stone Orchid veins, we wouldn’t even need to eradicate them; they would willingly return to the Origin Land within half a month.

The abnormality behind this indicates that the Underworld has somehow connected with the Origin Demons using some technique.”

Lu Qingshan stated with a grave voice, “To resolve the root of this Origin Demon riot, our top priority should be to uncover the Underworld Cultivators lurking in the shadows.”

….

A place shrouded in Yin Qi.

“Hall Master Jiuyou, influenced by our Jiuyou’s miasma, the Origin Demons have already launched attacks on the three families within Burial Ridge.”

The Underworld Cultivator known as Hei Luo respectfully reported to the Jiuyou Hall Master, “The Lin and Hua Families have been destroyed in the assault by the Origin Demons.

Only the Qiu Family survived due to the disciples of the Sword Sect, who killed all the attacking Origin Demons.”

With this, Hei Luo smiled proudly, “This move is exactly what we had hoped for.”

Upon hearing this, the Jiuyou Hall Master also displayed a sinister smile, “Such a sacrifice of many Origin Demons should be nearly enough to ignite the fury of the young demons….

Prepare and unintentionally reveal the clues we have laid out to Ji Chuan, leading him to the ‘source’ of the Origin Demon riot.”

“He wishes to quell the Origin Demon riot, doesn’t he?

Hehe… let him try to quell it; I indeed fear he might not be able to…” said the Jiuyou Hall Master with an icily chilling tone.

“Understood, I will arrange it immediately,” Hei Luo immediately replied and then withdrew, disappearing into the shadows.
