Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Translator: Cinder Translations

The Jade Light Flame and the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse flew into the dark clouds.

Gradually, both flames were coated with a layer of thunder light.

Song Wen activated his fire control technique, and the two spiritual flames within the dark clouds slowly drew closer.

Then, they suddenly collided.

The thunder light flickered within the cloud, but no energy burst forth.

Song Wen repeatedly executed the fire control technique, gradually compressing and bringing the two flames together.

The flames repelled each other, yet they were firmly held in place by the Yushu Divine Thunder.

"Boom!"

A dull rumble resonated.

Brilliant flames surged within the dark clouds.

After a moment!

The flames converged, and the dark clouds dispersed.

A palm-sized emerald green firebird emerged.

Song Wen raised his hand and summoned the firebird, which landed in his palm.

He felt no scorching heat or bone-chilling cold from the firebird, yet he could sense the violent energy emanating from it.

The emerald green firebird seemed to have merged with the lightning power of the Yushu Divine Thunder, with silver lightning occasionally coursing through its body.

With a thought, the firebird burst forth with a vast righteous energy, a trait imparted by the Jade Light Flame, imposing and intense.

In an instant, the firebird's aura shifted to become cold and piercing, a result of the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse's attributes—cold and sinister.

Song Wen opened his mouth and drew the firebird into his dantian.

The firebird circled within the golden dantian, flying gracefully.

The golden dantian gleamed, and the firebird moved like a fiery phoenix chasing the sun.

From his storage ring, Song Wen took out a long knife.

The long knife, named Mystic Frost, was obtained from the Daoist Qingyan and was a low-grade magical treasure.

Song Wen spent a month refining the Mystic Frost knife, then ingested it into his dantian to slowly nurture it.

He also retrieved a mourning banner, which he received from Wu Ren; it was likewise a low-grade magical treasure.

Moreover, it contained a vast amount of ghostly aura, suitable for nurturing ghostly beings.

Song Wen had possessed this treasure for decades but had never managed to refine it, and the ghostly energy within it had not been stirred.

After another month, Song Wen successfully refined the mourning banner.

Subsequently, Song Wen took out over a dozen ghostly spirit tools.

These included: the Eight Flag Yin Soul Banner he had crafted himself, the Top-grade Ghost Banner acquired from the Su family, the top-grade spirit tool prayer beads from Jie Hui, and many other spirit tools plundered from unknown ghost cultivators.

Song Wen summoned the emerald green firebird.

The firebird suddenly flared up, a blazing green flame rising dramatically.

The Eight Flag Yin Soul Banner was only a low-grade spirit tool, and Song Wen intended to remanufacture it.

The Yin Soul Banner originated from the demonic sect, the Profound Yin Sect, and could continuously strengthen, even potentially being refined into a personal magical treasure.

Though Song Wen temporarily had no intention of refining the Yin Soul Banner into a personal magical treasure, he could refine it into a magical treasure level Yin Soul Banner.

Under the scorching green flames, numerous spirit tools gradually fused into one.

Then, merging with the mourning banner, it was refined into a low-grade magical treasure Yin Soul Banner with three flags.

This three-flag Yin Soul Banner could accommodate three powerful ghostly beings without worrying about them devouring each other within the same banner.

Song Wen summoned the Ghost King.

The Ghost King was originally a ghostly being at the early third stage but had been injured by Su Qian, leading to damage to its soul and a rupture in its ghostly form, severely reducing its strength.

After thirty years of nurturing from the Su family, it had only reconstructed its soul and had not repaired its ghostly form.

There was a crack on its ghostly form, preventing it from sustaining ghostly energy, leaving it with only the strength of a pseudo third stage.

Song Wen planned to use the firebird's sinister power, along with the abundant ghostly energy from the Yin Soul Banner, to help it repair its ghostly form and return to the realm of a third-stage Ghost King.

Under Song Wen's control, the firebird surged into the Ghost King's body, enveloping it in a chilling green flame filled with sinister energy.

A large amount of ghostly energy surged from the three-flag Yin Soul Banner and injected into the Ghost King's body, integrating into its dantian under the refinement of the green flames.

The process of the Ghost King repairing its ghostly form was quite lengthy, and naturally, Song Wen couldn't remain idle.

He took out a blood coffin, which contained the pseudo third-stage Corpse King.

He intended to reforge the Corpse King, transforming it into a true third-stage Silver Corpse.

A plethora of corpse path spiritual materials was dropped into the blood coffin.

The dense corpse energy continuously surged and dissipated between the mouth and nose of the Silver Corpse.

Months passed, and the Silver Corpse advanced to the third stage.

After some time, the Ghost King's ghostly form was restored, regaining the strength of an early third stage.

During this period, Song Wen began to cultivate the "Evil Path Ghost Scroll," a secret technique of corpse cultivation he obtained from Wu Ren. This technique could condense the corpse energy within his body into various forms, usable for both offense and defense.

Before achieving the Golden Core stage, he had a limited amount of corpse energy in his body, which was insufficient to cultivate this technique.

...

Standing at the highest point of the island, Song Wen observed that after several months of recovery, the island no longer bore the signs of devastation.

The Feiyun Beasts had gradually become more robust after a period of rest and recovery.

"I've been on this island for forty-some years; it's time to leave," Song Wen murmured as he gazed at the horizon over the sea.

Although the months spent in quiet cultivation on the island were peaceful, they had consumed a considerable amount of spiritual materials, and the various materials on him were now few.

The most consumed were the spirit stones; whether for condensing the Golden Core, refining magical treasures, creating Silver Corpses, or repairing ghostly forms, all required a significant quantity of spirit stones.

Currently, he only had over 300,000 low-grade spirit stones, more than 2,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and five high-grade spirit stones, totaling around 410,000 (probably low grade) spirit stones.

He still had plenty of corpse path spiritual materials, enough to sustain his cultivation for a long time. However, now that he was advancing to the Golden Core stage, he needed to supplement his stock with some third-stage corpse path materials to enhance his cultivation speed.

The beast pills and meatballs required for the Sacred Gu had been completely exhausted.

Even the silver stones, which the Sacred Gu didn't particularly like, had been consumed.

Recently, they had been feeding on low-grade spirit stones, occasionally following the Feiyun Beasts to catch some sea creatures to satiate their hunger.

The Sacred Gu had all advanced to the peak of the second stage about ten days ago.

Initially, the technique for the Blood Gu Technique he obtained did not mention how to advance the Sacred Gu to the third stage.

In fact, it was unclear whether anyone in the Tianyuan Continent's cultivation world had ever cultivated a third-stage Sacred Gu.

Song Wen could only draw on the methods used by the Beastmaster Sect to cultivate spiritual insects, seeking materials for the advancement of the Sacred Gu. However, this required finding materials to support their advancement.

Song Wen released the contract with the Feiyun Beast King and granted the entire Feiyun Beast clan their freedom.

After dispersing the Sacred Gu, he soared into the sky, leaving the island where he had secluded himself for over forty years.

Perhaps having consumed too many soul fragments in the past, and due to not having undergone the Heart Tribulation, his spiritual consciousness had been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, making it difficult to break through.

After crossing the Heart Tribulation, his spiritual consciousness soared dramatically, directly surpassing the initial Golden Core stage and advancing to the mid Golden Core stage.

This allowed Song Wen's spiritual consciousness to cover an area of ten miles.

As his cultivation advanced to the Golden Core stage, the amplifying effect of the Sacred Gu on his spiritual consciousness diminished, limiting it to double the range.

However, even so, with the assistance of the Sacred Gu, his spiritual consciousness could still cover an area of thirty-two miles, already on par with peak Golden Core cultivators.

Having encountered that giant sea fish previously left Song Wen feeling apprehensive.

Thus, he flew at an altitude of several hundred feet above the sea surface to avoid threats from the deep sea.

In the high sky, clouds occasionally obscured his vision.

To prevent any surprises, he released several Sacred Gu to scout through the mist.

Two days later.

While Song Wen was flying high above, a giant bird with a wingspan exceeding two hundred feet suddenly burst from the clouds, diving rapidly toward the sea below.

This was a late third-stage monster beast.
