Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 308: Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda



Translator: Cinder Translations

Zhou Xuelin's resentful gaze instantly sent Zhou Siyi into a deep abyss, making her shiver all

over.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a soul-tearing pain surged from her sea of consciousness, causing Zhou Siyi unbearable agony.

The black thorns entwined around her soul began to violently contract, tearing at her soul, trying to make her soul scatter.

Yang Yu's expression turned icy.

In front of him, Zhou Xuelin still dared to commit evil; he truly did not take this Supreme Elder seriously.

If this were earlier, Zhou Xuelin would have killed his own daughter without even causing Yang Yu to blink.

But at this moment, under the watchful eyes of many disciples and in front of this First Supreme Elder, Zhou Xuelin still dared to act; that was a provocation.

"How dare you harm others in my presence! Die!"

Zhou Xuelin's expression turned fearful at these words.

He turned to look at Yang Yu, wanting to say something.

However, before his gaze could settle on Yang Yu, he felt a sharp pain at his neck.

In the next moment, a bright light pierced his soul, and the pain of his soul being torn apart surged through him.

His consciousness blurred, turning into chaos.

To put it simply, Zhou Xuelin's death occurred in an instant.

Others only saw a flash of cold light.

Zhou Xuelin's head flew high into the air.

Then, he scattered into oblivion.

While killing Zhou Xuelin, Yang Yu also cast a spell to protect Zhou Siyi's soul.

At the moment Zhou Xuelin died, the Soul Lock Curse in Zhou Siyi's sea of consciousness automatically dissipated.

Zhou Siyi knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

A sense of relief washed over her.

With Zhou Xuelin's death, she truly gained her freedom and would no longer be coerced.

Yang Yu looked around at the stunned crowd and spoke.

"In the future, if anyone dares to openly oppose me and ruin my plans, Zhou Xuelin will be your fate."

Yang Yu's killing of Zhou Xuelin carried a warning.

The disciples of the Beastmaster Sect were engaged in their intrigues, but Yang Yu, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, did not care and was too lazy to inquire.

But when it came to things he needed, if anyone dared to interfere, it would be seeking their

own death.

Zhou Xuelin's death exceeded most people's expectations.

After all, he was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, yet he was so easily slain.

"Fang Pengyi." Yang Yu called out.

"Disciple is here."

Seeing Yang Yu suddenly call for him, Fang Pengyi's heart tightened, unsure of the reason.

"The human snake corpse has been destroyed and needs to be remade. You must fully assist in gathering the materials needed for Elder Wu's corpse refining. If there are any obstacles from other peaks, you may report to me."

"Understood."

Fang Pengyi secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Yang Yu was giving him the authority to allocate some of the sect's resources.

"Elder Wu," Yang Yu said again.

"Disciple is here." Song Wen bowed respectfully.

"Prepare to refine the corpse well. If there are any difficulties, you can contact me."

"Understood."

Yang Yu nodded and vanished without a trace.

Once the Supreme Elder left, everyone felt a heavy weight lifted off their shoulders.

The pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator was truly immense.

Fang Pengyi glanced at Zhou Xuelin's corpse on the stone platform at the cave entrance and

spoke loudly.

"This matter is settled; everyone may disperse."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly took to the skies and left.

In an instant, only Song Wen, Zhou Siyi, Fang Pengyi, Feng Xinghai, and Luo Liang were leftn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

in the hall.

"Thank you, the two palace masters, for coming to uphold justice. Now that Zhou Xuelin is dead, you may both return," Fang Pengyi said, cupping his hands in a polite manner, though

his words were a clear dismissal.

Feng Xinghai sneered.

"Palace Master Fang, what you're doing seems a bit inappropriate. When we needed you and Palace Master Luo, you urged us to come quickly. Now that there's nothing left, you want to send us away immediately."

With Feng Xinghai exposing his thoughts, Fang Pengyi no longer concealed his intentions and stated bluntly, "Elder Zhou Siyi is Zhou Xuelin's daughter, so Zhou Xuelin's possessions naturally belong to her."

"Heh." Feng Xinghai scoffed dismissively. "Do you think we're three-year-olds that can be easily fooled? Siyi's cultivation is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment; how can she defend Zhou Xuelin's entire fortune as a late-stage Golden Core cultivator?"

"What do you want?" Fang Pengyi asked.

"Of course, everyone should get their share," Feng Xinghai replied.

Fang Pengyi responded, "There are still so many people here. How are we to divide it?"

Feng Xinghai looked around and said, "Elder Wu was secretly assassinated by Zhou Xuelin; although he escaped, he was still quite frightened and should receive appropriate compensation. As Zhou Xuelin's daughter, Siyi should also get her share. We can split it equally among us; how does that sound?"

After pondering for a moment, Fang Pengyi said, "Alright."

Luo Liang, who had been silent, also nodded in agreement, "Okay."

The three of them were willing to share Zhou Xuelin's possessions with Song Wen, primarily because Yang Yu valued Song Wen, making it impossible for them to ignore him.

Giving something to Zhou Siyi was also to silence the rumors among the Beastmaster Sect.

If Zhou Xuelin's belongings went entirely to Zhou Siyi, it would surely lead to criticism.

Zhou Xuelin, as the deputy peak master of the Spirit Beast Peak, had a significant fortune,

especially with that spirit beast in his spirit beast pouch, which had mid-third-tier strength and was worth over a hundred thousand spirit stones.

His storage ring also contained numerous spirit materials and pills, most of which were

needed by Golden Core cultivators.

Neither Song Wen nor Zhou Siyi could utilize these items for the time being.

In the end, most of the treasures ended up in the hands of the three Golden Core cultivators.

They then converted the value to spirit stones to compensate Song Wen and Zhou Siyi.

Song Wen and Zhou Siyi each received over two hundred thousand spirit stones and a couple

of spiritual artifacts.

From Luo Liang, Song Wen obtained a top-tier defensive spiritual artifact.

It was a Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda, about a foot tall. Once activated with spiritual

energy, it could release a yellowish spiritual light to envelop the cultivator's entire body, resisting enemy attacks.

It could also expand to a size of ten feet to forcibly trap enemies, making it a good defensive

spiritual artifact.

Zhou Xuelin's corpse was handed over to Zhou Siyi for handling.

After all, she was Zhou Xuelin's daughter.

As for how Zhou Siyi would deal with the corpse-whether to mistreat it in anger or give it a

proper burial-was no longer of concern to Song Wen and the others.

"Junior Brother Wu, I will always remember your kindness; I will never forget it in this

lifetime," Zhou Siyi said gratefully after Fang Pengyi and the others left.

Song Wen shook his head. "Sister Zhou, I was just saving myself. There's no need to mention

the so-called life-saving grace again."

Zhou Siyi looked at Song Wen with intense eyes.

"Junior Brother Wu, what you saved is not just my life, but also my vision for the rest of my

days."

After saying this, Zhou Siyi flew away on her sword.

After flying a distance, she suddenly halted, turning back to glance at Song Wen's cave.

She stared for a long time, not leaving.

...

When Song Wen returned to the cave, he saw the remnants of the human snake corpses

scattered everywhere and felt a stir in his heart.

The corpse of the human snake that had merged into the Mystic Qi still had residual Mystic Qi

gradually dissipating.

At this moment, there was still a faint trace of Mystic Qi left on the body.

This made Song Wen consider the idea of devouring the corpse's essence blood.

He wanted to try absorbing the Mystic Qi from the human snake by consuming its essence

blood.

However, he ultimately suppressed this thought.

These human snake corpses still needed to be handed over to Liu Jiang for disposal; if he

consumed the essence blood and turned the corpse into a dry corpse, it would be hard to

explain the reasons behind it.
