Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 313: Tensions Rising!



Translator: Cinder Translations

The flying ship moved at great speed.

In just two days, it crossed tens of thousands of miles.

They arrived above a large lake.

As the flying ship approached, three other ships hovered over the lake's surface.

Looking at the flags hanging from the ships, it was easy to see that these belonged to the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, He Huan Sect, and the Mixed Yuan temple.

Upon seeing the flying ship of the Beastmaster Sect arrive, a figure emerged from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect's ship.

Dressed in fiery red, the figure fluttered like flames.

It was Yan Yuyan.

"Tu Lian, I didn't expect us to meet again here; it really is a narrow path for enemies."

Tu Lian's aged face appeared extremely sinister.

"Yan Yuyan, it's you again. Our last battle ended without a victor; today we shall fight again and determine who is superior."

"Are you afraid?"

Yan Yuyan's eyes flickered with a sword-like gleam.

"Fellow Taoists, please do not get angry. We are all righteous sects; let's not act recklessly," said a monk who stepped out from the Mixed Yuan temple's ship.

The monk's demeanor was peaceful, with a compassionate expression.

Tu Lian's expression was icy as she glanced at the monk, a strange smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

"Old bald donkey Huiming, this is a matter between our Beastmaster Sect and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect. There's no need for your Mixed Yuan temple to meddle."

"Now, Mixed Yuan temple is a clay bodhisattva crossing the river; how can you still have the energy to come here to interfere with the Canglan Secret Realm?"

Two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Mixed Yuan temple were severely injured during the battle between good and evil and had not healed, which severely weakened the temple's power.

Moreover, the Mixed Yuan temple bordered the Nine Palaces Sect.

The territory controlled by the Mixed Yuan temple was often disturbed by the Nine Palaces Sect and some demonic cultivators.

Numerous spirit fields and mines under the Mixed Yuan temple had been frequently plundered.

When Tu Lian said "Mixed Yuan temple can hardly protect itself," she referred to these matters.

Facing Tu Lian's mockery, Huiming maintained his calm demeanor.

"Tu Lian, I advise you not to speak ill."

Tu Lian sneered coldly.

"Advise? You bald donkeys are the most hypocritical; you say one thing to our face and another behind our backs. I wouldn't dare trust your 'advice.""

Seeing Tu Lian and Huiming in a dispute, Yan Yuyan simply withdrew her aura and stood to the side, leisurely watching the show.

At this moment, another flying ship appeared in the distance, rushing toward the large lake.

On the ship, a large black flag flew, emblazoned with a silver character for "Thunder."

Upon seeing the Lei family's ship appear, Yan Yuyan's body tensed slightly, and her expression grew serious.

Before the Lei family's ship even arrived, a white-haired figure shot out from the vessel, stopping not far from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect's ship.

"Yan Yuyan, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon," the newcomer said.

The person was Lei Jun, the head of the Lei family.

He had previously teamed up with Yan Yuyan to besiege Wu Ren at the Corpse Demon Sect.

When Lei Jun looked at Yan Yuyan, the killing intent in his eyes was unmistakable.

At some point, a deep enmity had formed between the two.

Yan Yuyan gazed at Lei Jun, her expression a mix of amusement and mockery.

"Head Lei, your family's only Nascent Soul cultivator has yet to recover. Do you still want to provoke the Profound Heaven Sword Sect?"

Lei Jun retorted angrily, "This is our personal grudge, unrelated to the Lei family or the Profound Heaven Sword Sect."

"Personal grudge! Do you really think I would be afraid of you?" Yan Yuyan said.

Tu Lian and Huiming continued their heated argument.

The tension between Lei Jun and Yan Yuyan was like water and fire.

Tu Lian and Yan Yuyan also had old grievances.

Before the exploration of the secret realm even began, the powerful leaders of various sects,

who were hosting the event, were already at loggerheads.

This created an invisible pressure among the foundation-building cultivators who had come

to explore the secret realm.

At that moment, a graceful figure stepped out from the He Huan Sect's ship.

"Everyone, the Canglan Secret Realm is about to open. Is it really necessary for the four of you

to fight each other before allowing the foundation-building cultivators from each sect to enter the secret realm for exploration?"

This woman was dressed in a palace gown, her chest wrapped low, and her ample curves were

quite apparent.

Her hair flowed like a waterfall, and her enchanting eyes sparkled with charm.

Huiming turned to look at the graceful woman without shifting his gaze.

"Fairy Shu Qing makes a valid point."

Tu Lian glanced at Shu Qing's voluptuous figure, then at her own shriveled and corpse-like

body, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, which was hard to conceal.

She coldly said, "Huiming, you bald donkey, not only are you hypocritical, but you also violate the precepts of lust."

"Desire is human nature; it is fundamental to the survival and reproduction of humankind. Our Buddhist teachings also have the Joyful Dharma, which aligns perfectly with the dual cultivation practices of the He Huan Sect. How can there be talk of 'violating the precepts'?"

Huiming didn't try to deny it and openly admitted his lustful thoughts.

Shu Qing covered her mouth and laughed, her expression blooming like a flower, charming

and coy.

"Oh? Master actually understands the Joyful Dharma! Once this matter is settled, would you

be willing to exchange cultivation insights with me?"

Huiming, with a compassionate face, placed one hand on his chest and formed a Buddhist

seal.

"I have that intention. Thank you, fair maiden, for your kindness."

Tu Lian curled her lip in disgust.

"Hmph! Shameless."

After saying this, she turned and flew toward the Beastmaster Sect's ship, no longer paying

attention to Huiming and Shu Qing.

On the other side, Yan Yuyan and Lei Jun remained in a standoff, showing no signs of easing

up despite Shu Qing's appearance.

"Is it really necessary for you two to fight before the secret realm opens?"

Yan Yuyan said, "I have no such intention, but since Head Lei is being so arrogant, I have no

choice but to accept the challenge."

Lei Jun replied, "Yan Yuyan, after this secret realm expedition is over, I will not let you off

easily. You won't have the chance to escape this time."

After speaking, he glared fiercely at Yan Yuyan twice before turning back to his ship.

Shu Qing flew next to Yan Yuyan and communicated with her through sound.

"Sister Yu Yan, when did you offend that old coot from the Lei family? He looks like he wants

to swallow you whole."

Yan Yuyan replied, "It was just two years ago when I borrowed a technique from him."

"What technique did you steal from the Lei family?" Shu Qing asked.

"The Lei family's Thunder techniques, but only the first four Thunder methods," Yan Yuyan

responded.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Shu Qing gave a thumbs up. "You dared to steal from the Lei family's Nine Great Thunder techniques! Aren't you afraid that their old Nascent Soul cultivator will heal and come after

you?"

"Well, that has to wait until he recovers. By then, at worst, I can hide within the sect and not come out. I don't believe that the Lei family would dare forcefully demand someone from the

Profound Heaven Sword Sect."

"Why did you steal the Thunder techniques? I remember your talent for Thunder techniques

is just average."

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed in Yan Yuyan's eyes, and a surge of strong confidence

erupted from her.

"A sword formation, a sword formation that can wield Thunder techniques."

Upon hearing this, Shu Qing couldn't help but glance sideways.

Integrating Thunder techniques into a sword formation?

She had never heard of such a unique sword formation.

In the cultivation world, there were some sword formations that contained Thunder

techniques, but those were based on the fact that the swords used to set up the formation contained lightning themselves.

The difference between the two was still quite significant.
