Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 422 - 419 Rebirth Sect Bewitches the Heart

Chapter 422: Chapter 419 Rebirth Sect Bewitches the Heart Chapter 422 -419 Rebirth Sect Bewitches the Heart Beast Taming Sect made a massive move and soon captured all the Demon Cultivators within the market.

For the past few years, Beast Taming Sect had remained inactive, which led these Demon Cultivators to grow bolder and make their movements more rampant. More of them entered the market, yet they did not realize that from the very beginning of their incursion, Beast Taming Sect had their movements at its fingertips.

As a Sect renowned for Beast Taming in this era, Beast Taming Sect’s techniques for cultivating and utilizing Spiritual Beasts had reached a level that other Cultivator Sects couldn’t comprehend. The Cultivators from other Sects only thought of the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect having Spiritual Beasts to enhance their war power but could never imagine the extent to which the Beast Taming Sect specialized in these creatures.

Especially in the cultivation of Spiritual Beasts, each type of Spiritual Beast had been identified by the disciples of Beast Taming Sect for its optimal use, and what’s more crucial, they were able to cultivate various kinds of Spiritual Beasts to perfection.

For instance, Spiritual Beasts sensitive to Qi were classified by the Beast Taming Sect disciples into many kinds, and among those that were most skilled in sensing Demonic Qi were the Long-Nosed Dog, Netherworld Butterfly, Fragrant Pig, Yin Snake, and several other species.

These Spiritual Beasts, nurtured in specialized ways, had such a strong sensitivity to Demonic Qi that it far exceeded the imaginations of the Demon Cultivators. Even if the Demon Cultivators thought they were cunningly disguised, as long as the essence of their power remained unchanged, no matter what form they took, they were still as conspicuous as bright lights in the darkness to these Spiritual Beasts that did not rely on vision to discern their targets.

Thus, when these Demon Cultivators entered the market, their tracks inevitably fell under the control of the Beast Taming Sect Cultivators.

In the past, the Sect had not acted against them, but now with War Sky Palace coordinating an alliance of various Sects to launch an official operation to encircle and suppress the Demon Sects, of course, it was impossible to leave these Demon Cultivators roaming freely in the market.

Following an order from the Law Enforcement Elder of the Sect, the captured hundreds of Demon Cultivators were beheaded in a sacrificial act, and the army set off immediately!

Beast Taming Sect was tasked with confronting a Demon Sect nearest to their own Sect called Rebirth Sect.

It was a Sect that was not incredibly powerful, but very troublesome to deal with, ranking among the ‘Three Temples, Nine Sects, and Forty-Eight Factions’ of the Demon Sects.

Disciples of Rebirth Sect did not cultivate their physical bodies, but only their Divine Souls.

Once their inherited Cultivation Techniques reached initial mastery, they could send their Yin Souls out of their bodies to seize the bodies of others.

Then, using others’ vital energy to nourish their own Soul, until their Yin Soul advanced to the Yangshen Realm, there was a chance to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve Longevity.

This was a legacy left from an odd world during the Ancient Great Tribulation, where once possessed by them, it was hard to notice any abnormality in the short term unless the possessed revealed themselves over time, making it difficult to detect these infiltrating Demon Cultivators acting as spies within laxly defended Sects.

In addition to Rebirth Sect, Beast Taming Sect was also tasked with dealing with two low-profile Demon Sect Branches within their domain, while also joining other Sects in a joint effort to surround and eradicate several Demon Sect Branches nearby.

Although they needed to divide their forces across multiple fronts, Beast Taming Sect felt no pressure, only a sense of ease.

This was not only because of the Sect’s formidable strength and the deployment of many high-level Cultivators, but more importantly because this was not a battle for Beast Taming Sect alone, but a collective crusade by the entire Cultivation World against various branches of the Demon Sects.

A siege, of course, meant a joint effort by multiple Sects.

Take the siege against Rebirth Sect, for example, which was jointly carried out by Beast Taming Sect, Five Poisons Sect, and Wanfa Sect, along with Divine Weapon Family and several dozen small and medium factions.

The same collaborative approach applied when suppressing other Demon Sect Branches.

For tens of thousands of years, the Demon Sects could only hide in the shadows and plot to engender hatred in the Cultivation World. They could not develop openly, and even though they could kidnap some children for cultivation through various means, the results were mixed, and they faced a shortage of resources and flawed training methods, limiting their growth fundamentally.

Meanwhile, other factions within the Cultivation World thrived. Although not quite as strong as before the Ancient Great Tribulation, they had reclaimed much of their power.

Thus, the overall strength of the Cultivation World vastly surpassed that of these Demon Sects.

When Beast Taming Sect’s Tower Ship appeared at the border of Sect territory, arriving outside a big mountain, groups from afar also convened at the designated time.

Among them were over ten thousand Five Poisons Sect Cultivators flying amidst colorful clouds, legions of Wanfa Sect Disciples navigating a floating mountain peak, and thousands of Divine Weapon Family’s Cultivators standing atop a Bronze City.

The colorful clouds of Five Poisons Sect were composed of countless Poison Insects, a sight that would chill any Cultivator to the core.

No Cultivator would dare face such a multitude of Poison Insects alone.

The Wanfa Sect’s mountain, standing three thousand feet tall with numerous caves on its surface and filled with disciples moving in and out, resembled a vast anthill from afar.

Yet, the most eye-catching was the Bronze City driven by Divine Weapon Family.

The Divine Weapon Family secured its place among the great powers of the Southern Domain by its own merit, not solely for having an ancestor in the Golden Immortal Realm but also due to the family’s passed-down Weapon Casting techniques.

They had pushed the craft of forging Divine Weapons and refining Magical Treasures to the utmost limit.

Even the Golden Immortal Ancestor of the Divine Weapon Family had achieved Immortality through his Weapon Casting skills!

The Bronze City they piloted was more than just a city; it was a fortress that integrated offense and defense. This Green Castle could attack and hold the fort, moving at will, morphing as desired. As long as the core of the city remained intact, the one in control could transform it into various forms—an excellent instrument of war and a testament to the Divine Weapon Family’s craft at Great Success.

Compared to that, the Tower Ships of the Beast Taming Sect seemed quite inferior.

Although the Tower Ship was also built for war and equipped with various offensive and defensive Prohibition Arrays, it was far from being on the same level as the Green Castle of the Divine Weapon Family.

In terms of size and functionality, the two were simply not comparable.

The Divine Weapon Family founded their legacy on weapon crafting. For them, every item could be sold as a treasure, and Green Castle was no exception.

Regrettably, the sheer size of Green Castle required a tremendous amount of Spiritual Materials to construct, not to mention the need for the castle to undergo numerous transformations and possess various defensive and offensive capabilities, making its refinement extremely difficult. Even now, the Divine Weapon Family had only managed to craft three to protect their own family, and the price was astronomical. Up to this point, there had been few families that could afford it.

However, the Beast Taming Sect was now using a large amount of resources to place an order with the Divine Weapon Family.

With the support of resources from the Red Flame Demon Realm, the Beast Taming Sect had the confidence to commission such formidable castle fortresses from the Divine Weapon Family.

It wasn’t necessary to cast them exclusively from Bronze; Cold Iron, Red Copper, Fire Essence, and other materials could also be used. As resources continued to flow steadily from the Red Flame Demon Realm to the sect—especially at this crucial time—there was no concern about not being able to afford such formidable castle fortresses.

With these assets, future offensives into otherworlds would become much easier.

It was believed that as more and more Sects returned victorious from different worlds, an even greater number of war instruments would be crafted.

War has always been the best period for the evolution of weapons!

Below, the small families near the mountain were petrified upon witnessing the arrival of so many Great Forces, terrified and confused as to why so many Major Sects had come to their location.

They were not the only ones frightened. Inside a secret Underground Palace in the mountains, the Demon Cultivators of the Rebirth Sect were even more alarmed.

“What’s going on? Have we been exposed, drawing the Righteous Path Cultivators to besiege us?”

“That shouldn’t be the case. We’ve always been careful in our actions, rarely killing recklessly near the Mountain Gate. We shouldn’t have attracted the attention of those on the Righteous Path.”

“Yes, exactly, especially since we haven’t done anything to infuriate these Major Sects in recent years. Why would they suddenly come after us?”

“Hmph, you haven’t done anything to infuriate the Major Sects? How come I heard that not long ago, you robbed a large Flying Boat transporting goods for a Sect, plundering many Treasures?”

For a time, the Cult Members of the Rebirth Sect engaged in heated discussions.

Many of them still harbored the faint hope that the location of their Underground Palace hadn’t been compromised and that the Major Sects outside weren’t there to cause them trouble.

Quite a number of Demon Cultivators held this view, and even the Rebirth Sect Leader, who hadn’t emerged from seclusion for many years, shared this wishful thinking after being summoned by the high-ranking Cult Members to assess the situation.

Realistically, it was the only way he could think, for it wouldn’t make sense for him to lead his followers into a suicidal clash with the several Major Sects at this point.

As one of the Demon Sects whose strength was relatively modest and which could only maintain its foothold through the use of cunning measures, the Rebirth Sect was far from capable of matching the strength of the Major Sects that had arrived.

If the forces from the Beast Taming Sect and others were not there to assault them, then rushing out in panic could lead to their own demise.

Besides, even if they were indeed the target, it would still be unwise to rush out immediately.

Without the protection of a defensive formation outside, only by relying on the Array Formation Restrictions meticulously established over tens of thousands of years within the Rebirth Sect could they withstand the onslaught of the Righteous Path Cultivators.

While these Demon Cultivators were silently praying, hoping that the Cultivators outside were not there to bring them misfortune, the Cultivators from the several Major Sects had already convened.

“Hahaha, Daoist Friends, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect that we’d have a reunion here today,”

A short, chubby middle-aged man emerged from the Divine Weapon Family’s side.

He was the second in command of the Divine Weapon Family and the Profound Immortal Cultivator leading the group this time, named Wang Zhuding.

Although he came from the Divine Weapon Family, Wang was one of the few Cultivators from his family who did not focus on Weapon Casting to progress and who still held a high position.

He had control of all businesses of the Divine Weapon Family.

The current development of the Divine Weapon Family could be said to be closely linked to this man.

His nature was sly and he was versatile in business dealings. Even as his Cultivation grew over the years and he gradually retreated to the background, the family’s business affairs remained firmly under his control.

“Hehe, Fatty Wang, how could your old ancestors bear to send you here? Aren’t they worried you might have an accident and be taken over by the Rebirth Sect Leader, ruining all of the Divine Weapon Family’s business?”

The speaker was Elder Kongkong.

The team led by the Beast Taming Sect this time was headed by his old self.

Although Elder Liuling had advanced to the Profound Immortal realm, he was currently not in the Sect, but presiding over the war in otherworlds while scheming for the matters of Elemental Elves.

Therefore, after the Gui Ling Ancestor proved to be a Golden Immortal, the only Profound Immortal in the Sect who could hold the scene was Elder Kongkong.

Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly expect the Jue Tian Ancestor to personally go to war, could they?

If the Gui Ling Ancestor were absent and the Jue Tian Ancestor were to leave as well, the Mountain Gate would be somewhat vulnerable, easily taken advantage of by others. Should an accident occur, it could lead to a disastrous loss.

Especially now that the Beast Taming Sect had already established a Space Gate leading to the Red Flame Demon Realm—an unstable world—it would be quite troublesome if powerful Demon Cultivators invaded. If they were observant, they would not find it difficult to discover the nodes connecting the Red Flame Demon Realm with other worlds. Should they sacrifice the billions of lives of the Red Flame Demon Realm to summon a powerful lord from the Abyss World, it would bring endless trouble to the Beast Taming Sect.

Thus, the Beast Taming Sect must have a Golden Immortal in residence. With the Gui Ling Ancestor out, the Jue Tian Ancestor could not dare to leave easily.

Moreover, facing a minor Rebirth Sect, there was no need for a powerful being like the Jue Tian Ancestor.

The classifications among the Demon Sects—three religions, nine sects, and forty-eight branches—are not without significance.

The three religions are the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Corpse Demon Sect, and the Blood God Sect.

These three religions each have several Immortal Realm powerhouses holding the fort, and whether there are even stronger beings is yet to be known.

As for the nine major Demon Sects, each has an Immortal Realm Demon with great power, with forces under their command that are far from weak.

Regarding the forty-eight branches within the Demon Sects, their strengths vary widely.

Some are powerful, with multiple Profound Immortal realm Demon Cultivators in their ranks, and even Peak Profound Immortals who could achieve Immortality at any moment. The reason they have been delayed until now is that after the Ancient Great Tribulation, the Biluo Great World has severed the opportunities to connect with other worlds. Even the entire world has been sealed off, depriving them of the possibility of advancement. They can’t leave either.

Earlier, some Demon Cultivators tried to pass through the Space Gate of the Beast Taming Sect to enter the Red Flame Demon Realm. There is a significant chance that those Peak Profound Immortals sent them to scout. If the Beast Taming Sect doesn’t guard the Space Gate carefully, they might risk infiltrating the Red Flame Demon Realm to ascend to Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, because they are Demon Cultivators, they might even gain the recognition of the Red Flame Demon Realm and possibly become the lord of an entire realm.

This is also the biggest reason why the Jue Tian Ancestor cannot leave the Sect.

He does not want the world he has worked so hard to conquer to become a paradise for Demon Cultivators.

Among the forty-eight Demon Sects, if there are those with great strength, there are also those with lesser strength. Although the Rebirth Sect’s cultivation techniques are mysterious and they can possess their sect members’ bodies through Body Seizing, potentially causing harm to various sects of the Righteous Path, this bizarre technique also restricts their progress.

After all, the Cultivation World of today is not the chaotic place it was during the Ancient Great Tribulation. They only dare to stealthily seize the bodies of some Cultivators because their advancement is slow, which leads to the generally modest strength of the Rebirth Sect. If they were to do too much in an attempt to speed up their cultivation, provoking widespread anger, they would surely be targeted by the various sects.

Indeed, since the third Sect Hierarch was killed at the end of the Ancient Great Tribulation, the strength of the Rebirth Sect has plummeted.

Now, the sect is already under the leadership of its sixth Sect Hierarch.

Within the entire sect, there is only the Rebirth Sect Leader at the Profound Immortal realm. While the sect is much stronger than those Demon Sects that have thoroughly declined and only have a few Demon Immortals to show, it is not particularly powerful.

A sect with only one Profound Immortal cannot be considered more than a medium-sized sect in the Cultivation World, about the same as the Fiery Fire Sect established by the Fiery Fire Ancestor.

It is precisely because they already knew about the approximate strength of the Rebirth Sect that Elder Kongkong and other powerhouses appeared casual and even had the leisure to joke around in the sky.

“Daoist Fellow Kongkong jokes,”

Wang Zhuding laughed heartily, “With Daoist Brother here, as well as the Five Poisons Sect’s Sky Scorpion Daoist Fellow and the Wanfa Sect’s Daoist Fellow Feixue, if we join hands and still allow the Rebirth Sect Leader to seize my body, that would truly be a great joke.

Besides, I am not without the power to resist; unless that Rebirth Sect Leader has already achieved the Immortal Dao, let alone Body Seizing me, if I let him get within ten feet of me, consider it my loss!”

“Hahaha…”

Several Profound Immortals laughed heartily, engaging in a buoyant conversation without a care that their words could be overheard by the Demon Cultivators in the mountains.

In fact, they deliberately let their voices carry far, to resonate through the mountains so the Demon Cultivators could hear more easily.

With layers of arrays in the Demon Cultivators’ stronghold, it was impossible for them to sneak in with their disciples for a surprise attack. Besides, there was no need for a surprise attack in such a large-scale conflict. Since their strength was far superior to the opponent’s several times over, they naturally had to bulldoze through with overwhelming force rather than sneaking in and possibly ending up trapped by the enemy, which could lead to an unexpected loss.

Sure enough, once their words, passing through several restrictions, reached the ears of the gathering of Demon Cultivators, it immediately caused many to turn pale.

“Sect Hierarch, what should we do?”

In the chilly hall, with lamps flickering with eerie green lights adding to the ominous atmosphere, the faces of the present Demon Cultivators looked severely grim.

Of course, their complexions never looked good to begin with.

From the moment they began cultivating the Rebirth Sect’s technique, their vital essence was used to nourish their souls, so with such deficient vital energy, there was no chance for them to look well.

Many of those seated were soul bodies; their flesh had long rotted away completely. Having been in seclusion here for years without seeking out bodies to seize, they lacked a physical form.

“What’s the panic?”

The Rebirth Sect Leader chastised his subordinate with a shout. His formidable aura erupted, intimidating all the demon cultivators who lowered their heads, not daring to speak nonsense.

“Humph!”

The Rebirth Sect Leader snorted coldly, “So a few cultivators from the sects have come, what’s there to be scared of? I have already sent messages to the Undying Valley’s Heavenly Corpse Daoist Fellow and Blood Cave’s Daoist Huaxue, asking for their assistance. I have also notified the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader. They will certainly not stand by and watch us be annihilated.

Therefore, all we need to do now is to hold out until Heavenly Corpse Daoist Fellow, Daoist Huaxue, and the fellows from the Heavenly Demon Sect come to our aid. Then we will naturally be safe.

Though this place has been exposed, over the years, the Rebirth Sect has not been without contingency plans. If need be, we can simply retreat to the secret location we found earlier to cultivate and lie low for a few years.

If it really comes down to it, even if we have to throw in our lot with the Heavenly Demon Sect to serve under them, would the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader actually allow us to die?”

Hearing the Rebirth Sect Leader speak thus, the demon cultivators below felt markedly more at ease.

“Indeed, the Beast Taming Sect, Five Poisons Sect, Wanfa Sect, and the Divine Weapon Family—the major sects attacking in union—is a grand stance that certainly won’t escape the notice of other demon sects. It probably won’t be long before there are demon cultivators causing chaos behind their lines, giving us a chance to escape.”

“Humph, humph, these forces dare to openly oppose us. After this battle, I will lead my disciples to their sects, to teach them the might of the Rebirth Sect’s Supreme Method!”

“Exactly, even if the mountain gates of these major sects are protected by prohibitions and hard to enter, their scattered properties around the world are not. When the time comes, we will upset their operations, utterly disrupting their businesses everywhere!”

“Alright, alright, can’t you all keep quiet? Do you really want to be so relentlessly pursued by these major sects?”

The Rebirth Sect Leader spoke helplessly: “The Beast Taming Sect’s Gui Ling Ancestor has already achieved the Golden Immortal Realm. If you act recklessly and that Old Turtle takes notice, he might trace the vines back to our new location. Do you really want to be forced to flee a second time?”

“We can’t let them off easily; if the Beast Taming Sect is too difficult to deal with, then we’ll target the other sects.”

“Indeed, especially those medium and small sects. They don’t have the likes of Gui Ling Ancestor and yet dare to follow the major sects in muddying the waters against us. It seems that in recent years, the deterrence of the Rebirth Sect has greatly diminished!”

As the demon cultivators were excitedly discussing how to retaliate against the sects outside after the battle, a cool voice sounded: “These demon cultivators probably still think about holding their ground, waiting for reinforcements.”

The speaker was the Wanfa Sect’s Elder Feixue.

This Immortal had a beautiful appearance and a frosty demeanor. Even though she cultivated the way of ice and snow, she paradoxically wore a red robe, giving off a feeling of being between ice and fire.

“Heh, a bunch of idiots.”

The Five Poisons Sect’s Sky Scorpion Elder was also a woman, but she was nearing middle age, with several scars on her face and a fierce look in her eyes, speaking venomously, “Now that the Five Domains have joined forces and besieged the Demon Sects together, those guys are each too busy to cover their own heads, let alone have the energy to support them?

Humph, Rebirth Sect’s demon cultivators, listen up. I give you a quarter of an hour to come out and surrender. Aren’t you supposed to be capable of rebirth? This Elder will give you the chance to be reborn after death. If you can survive, I’ll acknowledge that you’re formidable.

Otherwise, once we break in, I’ll make you taste what it’s like to be devoured by the Soul Devouring Poison.

I’m curious to see how you’ll manage to be reborn after your Divine Souls have been consumed by the Soul Devouring Poison.”

“The so-called rebirth is just empty bragging and cannot be taken seriously.”

Elder Kongkong said with a hearty laugh: “Although the Rebirth Sect’s technique is indeed tricky, it only involves living on by continuously seizing and possessing other bodies. It’s not true rebirth at all.”

Below, hearing the words of Sky Scorpion Elder and the others, the Rebirth Sect’s demon cultivators in the depths of the underground palace were taken aback.

Not only the lower-ranking demon cultivators were in an uproar, but even those who had achieved the Yangshen Realm within the Rebirth Palace were shocked and looked to the Rebirth Sect Leader.

“Don’t listen to their nonsense; it’s fake, not to be believed!”

The Rebirth Sect Leader’s words resounded throughout the underground palace: “Just now, the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader has used the Heavenly Demon Treasure to perform the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Technique, informing me that reinforcements have been dispatched. He has also called upon nearby Demon Sect cultivators to penetrate deep behind enemy lines and contain our adversaries. As long as we hold out for a day or two, when the Heavenly Demon Sect’s assistance arrives, we will be safe. So do not be confused by the words of the Righteous Path cultivators outside.

Those Righteous Path cultivators have always been full of lies and cannot be taken seriously.

Heh, if they said they were only targeting one or two of us, maybe, but they claim to be joining forces with the Five Domains to encircle all demon cultivators—isn’t that a joke?

To speak nothing else, even I, the Sect Leader, am only aware of the locations of three demon sects. How could these Righteous Path cultivators possibly find the whereabouts of the other Demon Sects?”
