Liu Jing was an ordinary inner disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect. However, his origin was somewhat shady. He was a disciple of the Evil Dao Sect, the Imperial Corpse Sect.
The Imperial Corpse Sect could only be regarded as a medium-sized sect among the Evil Dao Sects. Their strength wasn't very strong. They mainly refined corpses and controlled corpses. Although they could also use artifacts, they mainly used artifacts for defense. Very few people would take the initiative to attack. Their main method of attack was to use the corpses they refined to attack.
Liu Jing himself was born in a small city under the Imperial Corpse Sect. His parents were very ordinary people. Later, when the Imperial Corpse Sect accepted him as a disciple, he was found to have a spiritual root and was directly accepted as a disciple. His parents were very happy about this.
Regardless of whether the Imperial Corpse Sect was righteous or evil, they were very good to the ordinary people in their territory. Moreover, after entering the Imperial Corpse Sect, one could become a cultivator. This was the dream of all the ordinary people in the Sword Spirit World. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many rogue cultivators in the Sword Spirit World.
For people like him who were born ordinary, after entering the Imperial Corpse Sect, the Imperial Corpse Sect would take care of his family. This was enough to change the future of a family.
Liu Jing became a disciple of the Imperial Corpse Sect. However, because he had no backing and was of ordinary birth, he became an ordinary disciple of the Imperial Corpse Sect. After dozens of years of cultivation, he became an inner disciple of the Imperial Corpse Sect. He reached the Qi Refining Realm and could finally fly. He was the only child of his parents. Although his cultivation was ordinary, he was still a disciple of the Imperial Corpse Sect. Therefore, after he joined the Imperial Corpse Sect, his parents' lives improved. They lived a good life until old age. It could be said that they had a good ending.
After the Imperial Corpse Sect joined the Evil Ghost Sect Alliance, Liu Jing and the others were very happy at first. This was because in their opinion, they had gathered half of the power of the Sword Spirit World to deal with the South China Sea Alliance. They didn't need to do anything at all. Therefore, they launched an attack on the Profound Sky Sect Alliance from the beginning.
After several battles, they found that the Profound Sky Sect Alliance wasn't easy to deal with. Just when everyone was a little discouraged, a traitor suddenly appeared in the Profound Sky Sect Alliance. The Profound Sky Sect Alliance that they hadn't been able to take down was suddenly captured. This was really strange, but at the same time, it made them very excited.
Then he joined the army to attack the Sea Exploring Sect. However, that battle completely changed his fate. He didn't think that the Sea Exploring Sect would be this strong. His army was taken down by the Sea Exploring Sect in a short period of time. This was too shocking.
Liu Jing was very lucky that he didn't die in the battle. However, he became a captive of the Sea Exploring Sect. He thought that he would be finished in the future. Even if the Sea Exploring Sect didn't kill him, they would cripple him. However, he didn't expect that the people of the Sea Exploring Sect would let him go. Moreover, they allowed him to join the Sea Exploring Sect and gave him the treatment of an ordinary disciple. This made him very happy.
It was absolutely impossible for Liu Jing to be loyal to the Imperial Corpse Sect. On the surface, the Imperial Corpse Sect seemed to be a place where capable people could cultivate and reach a high position. However, in fact, the Imperial Corpse Sect was controlled by several large cultivation families. These families were deeply rooted in the Imperial Corpse Sect. The disciples of these families were spread across all levels of the Imperial Corpse Sect, including the outer, inner, core, and elders. All levels of the Imperial Corpse Sect were controlled by the people of these families. People like Liu Jing, who had no status and no background, would be bullied by the people of these families. A part of their resources would be severely withheld and given to the disciples of these large families to cultivate. Some dangerous tasks would be done by them, and they would never be able to do those easy and rewarding tasks.
Under such circumstances, how could Liu Jing have any sense of belonging to the Imperial Corpse Sect? If it wasn't for the fact that he was born in the territory of the Imperial Corpse Sect and had always been studying in the Imperial Corpse Sect, it was impossible for him to go to other sects. Otherwise, he would have already run away.
This time, the Sea Exploring Sect allowed him to become a disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect and gave him the treatment of an ordinary disciple. This treatment was even better than the treatment of an inner disciple of the Imperial Corpse Sect. This really surprised Liu Jing.
Apart from being surprised, Liu Jing was also observing. He wanted to see if the Sea Exploring Sect was sincere in accepting them as disciples or just using them as cannon fodder.
It was actually very simple for Liu Jing to know if the Sea Exploring Sect wanted to treat them as disciples or cannon fodder. This was because Liu Jing had already discovered that the disciples of the Evil Ghost Sect alliance didn't say anything good about the Sea Exploring Sect even after they were captured. They didn't even say a single good word about the Sea Exploring Sect. It was as if they could scold the Sea Exploring Sect to death.
In Liu Jing's opinion, if the Sea Exploring Sect really wanted to treat them as cannon fodder, then they wouldn't care about them and would just let them scold them. In any case, they were just cannon fodder, so it didn't matter how they died. If the Sea Exploring Sect really wanted to treat them as disciples, then they wouldn't just ignore them.
But even after being captured for several days, the disciples of the Great Sects were still cursing them. However, the people of the Sea Exploring Sect didn't care about them. This made Liu Jing's heart sink. He thought that the Sea Exploring Sect wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
However, he soon discovered that something was amiss. Although the Sea Exploring Sect didn't do anything to those who scolded them, they still took them away and didn't let them stay with them. Then the Sea Exploring Sect's people increased their treatment. Moreover, they also said that under certain conditions, they could become official disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect. They could even become inner disciples as long as they worked hard to kill their enemies.
This made Liu Jing understand that the Sea Exploring Sect really wanted to treat them as disciples. This made Liu Jing very happy. Only now did he know that the treatment he received before was only the treatment of outer disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect. It wasn't even the treatment of an outer disciple. This made Liu Jing even happier. Now, he received the treatment of an outer disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect. This treatment alone was much better than the treatment of an inner disciple of the Imperial Corpse Sect. If he could really join the Sea Exploring Sect and become an inner disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect, then what kind of treatment would he receive? Just thinking about it made him excited.
What happened next confirmed their thoughts. Those who scolded the Sea Exploring Sect were treated as cannon fodder by the Sea Exploring Sect. More than a million Evil Ghost Sect troops were wiped out. Although these people also participated in the war, they weren't treated as cannon fodder. Instead, they were treated as ordinary disciples.
Liu Jing's performance in the war was outstanding. He killed a member of the Evil Ghost Sect alliance and became an official disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect. However, he was only an outer disciple and couldn't be considered as an inner disciple. Later on, he participated in several battles and his performance was good. Finally, he became an inner disciple of the Sea Exploring Sect.
In the end, the Sea Exploring Sect defeated the Evil Ghost Sect alliance and became a big sect. Only then did Liu Jing know the true secret of the Sea Exploring Sect. He saw that the elders of the sect had personally formulated a cultivation plan for him. Every month, he would be allocated resources according to his needs. Moreover, the elders and the core disciples would give him pointers at any time. Liu Jing was extremely excited. He had never thought that he would have such a day. He had never thought that he would receive such treatment. This was really too shocking. At the same time, it also made him very happy.
Liu Jing's current strength couldn't be compared to the time when he was in the Imperial Corpse Sect. Even the battle corpse he used had been reforged, greatly increasing its strength. At the same time, he also learned other cultivation methods, such as the Sword Dao of the Imperial Sword Sect, the Medium Technique, and the Insect Technique.
These were all cultivation methods that he had never heard of before. But now, in the Sea Exploring Sect, these were the simplest and most common cultivation methods that could be learned in public. How could he not be happy?
After learning these cultivation methods, Liu Jing received a trial mission from the sect. This trial mission was very simple. He had to enter the domain of the Demon Sword Sect and kill a disciple of the Demon Sword Sect. Or enter the domain of the Evil Ghost Sect and kill a disciple of the Evil Ghost Sect. There were many such trial missions in the Sea Exploring Sect.
The reason why Liu Jing accepted such a mission was because he wanted to deal with the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect. He wanted to deal with the Devil Dao Sect.
In the Devil Dao Sect, there was never an excessive prohibition of disciples killing each other. Although there were clear rules that disciples couldn't kill each other, the disciples with power and influence never took such rules seriously. Even if they killed someone, the elders of their family would help them settle the matter. There wouldn't be any punishment at all.
Liu Jing had always lived in fear and trepidation in the Imperial Corpse Sect. He was afraid that one day, he would offend someone and silently die somewhere. This kind of life of fear and trepidation wasn't something a person could live through.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Jing hated the Devil Dao Sect. Some time ago, someone from the Imperial Corpse Sect contacted him and wanted him to betray the Sea Exploring Sect. At that time, Liu Jing didn't hold back and directly killed that person from the Imperial Corpse Sect. In Liu Jing's opinion, the Sea Exploring Sect was ten thousand generations better than the Imperial Corpse Sect. If he didn't stay in the Sea Exploring Sect and insisted on returning to the Imperial Corpse Sect, wouldn't that be making things difficult for himself? Moreover, those people from the Imperial Corpse Sect still talked about the sect's friendship with him. It was fine if they didn't mention it, but when they mentioned it, they were angry. How could he return to the Imperial Corpse Sect?
At this moment, Liu Jing was already in the Devil Domain. He came here through the sect's transmission formation. Moreover, there were people who came to receive him. He didn't know that the sect had such a huge influence in the Devil Domain. Everything was arranged for him.
Zhao Hai also controlled an information network about the Devil Domain. Not many people knew about this. This information network covered the entire Devil Domain. Some time ago, the Devil Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect suddenly attacked the various sects of the Devil Domain. This made Zhao Hai somewhat surprised. This also had a certain impact on Zhao Hai's information network.
However, Zhao Hai quickly adjusted this information network. Now, this information network belonged to the Devil Sword Sect. Naturally, it also secretly contacted the Evil Ghost Sect. It was precisely because of this that this information network not only remained after the Devil Domain changed hands, but also developed greatly.
One shouldn't think that the disciples of the Devil Sword Sect were united. This was impossible. The Devil Sword Sect's method of training disciples was very extreme. It was even more extreme than the sects of the Sword Spirit World. Because of this, the disciples of the Devil Sword Sect were very strong.
But this way, the struggle between the disciples of the Devil Sword Sect was unavoidable. Now that the Devil Sword Sect had appeared in the Sword Spirit World, the Sword Spirit World had countless resources. Naturally, the disciples of the Devil Sword Sect wanted to develop their own forces. In this case, the use of this information network was even greater. Therefore, when a core disciple of the Devil Sword Sect obtained this information network, he was very happy. This was because this information was a huge help for him. And Zhao Hai also used this point to make the information network bigger than before. With this information network, there was no problem in arranging disciples to go to the Devil Domain for training.
Liu Jing was arranged to go to the Devil Domain in this way. However, once he arrived at the Devil Domain, those people would no longer care about him. He would have two formations on him. These formations were given to him by the sect. One was a portable transmission formation, while the other was a barrier formation. If he wasn't a match for the other party and wanted to escape, he could open the barrier formation and then use the portable transmission formation to leave. Not only can the barrier formation help him defend against the enemy, it can also stabilize the energy inside the barrier, allowing the portable transmission formation to be used. This way, their safety would be better guaranteed. Moreover, Liu Jing had less contact with the people in the information network. Naturally, the information network wouldn't be exposed. This was a matter of two people in one fell swoop.
The place where Liu Jing appeared was a small city in the Demon Domain. There were some small gangs in this small city. The place where he was now was a teleportation array in a secret realm of this small gang. Then, the people of this small gang used the teleportation array to teleport him to another city. This way, even if someone were to investigate him, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to this small gang.
Liu Jing was born in the Devil Domain. Therefore, he had a good understanding of the Devil Domain's situation. Therefore, when he was sent to the city by the small gang, he immediately knew where he was. He was now in a city that belonged to the Poison Dragon Sect. However, this city now belonged to the Demon Sword Sect.
Liu Jing didn't think that those people would be so resourceful. They actually sent him directly to the Demon Sword Sect's territory. This way, even if the Demon Sword Sect wanted to investigate his origin, they would at most find the city he was in. Moreover, this city belonged to the Demon Sword Sect. When the time comes, the people of the Demon Sword Sect would certainly have a very good expression.
Liu Jing wasn't a Devil Cultivator. After arriving here, he naturally wouldn't show any unnatural behavior. In fact, he was more like a Devil Cultivator than most of the cultivators in the city. What he needed to do now was to choose a target. Moreover, he needed to do so without the enemy suspecting him. He didn't want to make a one-time deal. One must know that the Sea Exploring Sect clearly marked the price of the disciples of the Demon Sword Sect and the Evil Ghost Sect.
