Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 1311: Reincarnation Calamity-Crossing Sutra

Translator: CinderTL

"The Six Fiends Hall is hidden south of Yangshi City, deep within the Primordial Qi Death Zone, about 500,000 kilometers into a mountain valley," Song Wen said.

Song Wen was certain the Six Fiends Hall remained in this valley because, years ago, while contemplating whether to enter the Turbid Spirit Realm, he had encountered Jing Bei, a core disciple of the Divine Blood Gate, in Great Tan City. After killing Jing Bei and suppressing his divine soul, Song Wen learned from him that the Six Fiends Hall had not relocated.

"Seniors, please reveal this information to Jian Xiao," Song Wen continued. "Since Senior Bai Wei has said Jian Xiao is narrow-minded, he will undoubtedly seek to annihilate the Six Fiends Hall once he learns their location."

Bai Wei’s mouth parted slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but Wang Qiuyue cut her off.

"An excellent plan, Gou Jun! I’ll help you with this. You want to use Jian Xiao to destroy the Six Fiends Hall, but I intend to use the Six Fiends Hall to eliminate Jian Xiao. Jian Xiao possesses a Profound Heaven Spirit Treasure and is undeniably powerful, but Wei Gu is no ordinary opponent. Unless a Great Ascension Stage expert intervenes, no one can be absolutely certain of killing him. When Jian Xiao and Wei Gu clash, the outcome is far from certain! If Jian Xiao wins, you’ll achieve your revenge. If the Six Fiends Hall prevails, they might even kill Jian Xiao. Either way, one of us will achieve our goal."

Seeing the situation, Bai Wei swallowed the words of persuasion she had intended to speak.

"Gou Jun, I will help you too," she said. "But even if everything goes as you say and Jian Xiao ultimately annihilates the Six Fiends Hall, the treasures within will still fall into Jian Xiao’s hands. You mentioned earlier a treasure that could help you break through your cultivation realm—you’ll have no chance of claiming it."

"I’ll have my own methods when the time comes, Senior Bai. You needn’t worry," Song Wen replied.

Bai Wei shook her head lightly, saying no more.

"Let’s put this aside for now and deal with the Jia Clan members first," Wang Qiuyue suggested.

Song Wen nodded slightly, then casually waved his hand, sending a surge of spiritual power to lift Jia Hongyu from the ground. Together with the two women, he left the underground cavern.

As they emerged, Song Wen noticed the tunnel outside the cavern had been significantly widened. Over a hundred cultivators lay scattered on the ground, some unconscious, others immobilized by Bai Wei’s spiritual power.

"Gou Jun, since they interrupted your breakthrough, they’re yours to deal with," Wang Qiuyue said.

"Thank you," Song Wen replied, clasping his hands in gratitude.

"Seniors, please leave this place first. This junior will settle this grudge with them alone."

"Very well."

Both women were astute and knew their limits. As demonic cultivators, they understood Song Wen might have secrets he didn’t want outsiders to know.

They readily agreed to Song Wen’s request, their figures flickering as they darted away, vanishing swiftly into the winding, pitch-black tunnels.

Song Wen’s gaze swept over the Jia Clan cultivators before he flashed to stand before Jia Mingxuan.

Jia Mingxuan, the highest-ranked cultivator among them, was easily identifiable.

He was conscious, but his spiritual power had been sealed, leaving him trapped as if in quicksand.

"Why did Jia Hongyu fake his death?" Song Wen asked in a low voice.

Jia Mingxuan glanced at Song Wen, a disdainful smile curling his lips.

"You’ll never let me or my clan members live. Since death is inevitable, why should I answer your questions?"

Song Wen countered, "While you all are doomed, don’t forget the thousands of Jia Clan members outside. If your answer satisfies me, I’ll spare their lives."

Jia Mingxuan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Jia Hongyu cultivated a secret art called the Reincarnation Calamity-Crossing Sutra. When his lifespan was about to expire, he could extend it by absorbing the blood essence of his direct descendants, simultaneously enhancing his cultivation. His ultimate goal was to achieve rebirth and break through to the Body Integration Stage. To prepare for this day, Jia Hongyu not only amassed numerous wives and concubines to propagate his lineage but also encouraged his descendants to branch out and multiply. As a result, his branch of the Jia Clan had swelled to over a million members."

"Where is the Reincarnation Calamity-Crossing Sutra?" Song Wen asked.

"It’s in my storage ring," Jia Mingxuan replied.

Song Wen’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Jia Mingxuan’s words were filled with disdain for Jia Hongyu’s actions, yet he himself possessed the Reincarnation Calamity-Crossing Sutra, clearly harboring the same ambitions.

This was hardly surprising. Who wouldn’t covet a secret art that could extend lifespan and enhance cultivation?

Song Wen secretly instructed the shadow void to locate Bai Wei and Wang Qiuyue. Confirming they were far enough away to be beyond his perception, he summoned a surging blood sea beneath his feet, which rapidly spread outward, engulfing the surrounding Jia Clan members.

"No! I don’t want to die!"

"Senior, please spare my life!"

The pleas for mercy rose and fell, but were quickly drowned in the crimson blood sea.

Jia Mingxuan, after uttering, "I hope you’ll keep your promise," was also swallowed by the blood tide.

Once all the Jia Clan members had been consumed, the blood sea gradually receded into Song Wen’s body, extending finger-thick tentacles that presented over a hundred storage rings before him.

Song Wen retrieved a cloth pouch and stored all the rings inside, except for Jia Mingxuan’s.

After searching through Jia Mingxuan’s storage ring, he quickly found a jade slip containing the Reincarnation Calamity-Crossing Sutra.

Song Wen swiftly scanned the sutra’s contents, and a sudden doubt arose in his mind.

"According to this cultivation technique, consuming the blood essence of one’s own descendants can prolong lifespan. I wonder if consuming my own blood essence would have the same effect?"

Suppressing these wild thoughts, Song Wen’s figure flickered, vanishing without a trace.

Mid-air.

Bai Wei watched Song Wen fly out of Lan Yuan Mountain and asked, "What did you do with the Jia Clan members?"

"Naturally, I killed them all," Song Wen replied. He flipped his hand and produced a cloth bag filled with storage rings. "These are the Jia Clan members’ storage rings. They contain quite a few treasures. Please accept them as a token of my gratitude, Seniors."

"Bai Wei and I don’t need these trinkets. Keep them for yourself," Wang Qiuyue said. "Also, I failed to kill Xiang Rong. He escaped. If you want to seek revenge, you’ll have to find another way later."

"Senior Wang, did Xiang Rong leave behind anything that might carry his scent?" Song Wen asked.

Suddenly, a three-foot-tall shield materialized before Wang Qiuyue.

"This is Xiang Rong’s mystic treasure. I knocked it away during our battle, and he was too desperate to escape to retrieve it. Why are you asking about it?"

Song Wen didn’t answer, instead forming a hand seal and striking the shield.

Moments later, a wisp of azure smoke rose from the shield, drifting southwest.

"Xiang Rong should be in that direction," Song Wen said.

Wang Qiuyue’s expression brightened. "Is this a tracking spell?"

"Precisely. This technique is called the Thousand Miles Breath Tracking Technique. As long as we have the target’s aura, we can follow it."

As he spoke, two jade slips materialized in Song Wen’s hand, which he tossed to Bai Wei and Wang Qiuyue.

"Seniors, I am deeply grateful for your protection while I tried this breakthrough. I have no way to repay you properly. Please accept this secret art as a token of my sincerity. I hope you won’t refuse."

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony," Wang Qiuyue said, accepting the jade slip.
