When Lord East Source first established the Black Heaven Sect, the mortal world had experienced a period of cultivation craze.
However, as people without Spirit Roots were unable to cultivate, this craze gradually faded, and everyone returned to their previous state.
Aside from the fact that every city had an Immortal Tower to test Spirit Roots, everything else was the same as before.
Those who were studying continued to study, those who were doing business continued to do business, and those who were farming continued to do so. The leader of the mortal world was still the emperor, and there would be a court dispute every few hundred years. Times were changing, and it was chaotic and ordinary.
However, the mortal world that Jiujiu came to was obviously different from the mortal world that she had been in before.
It had only been fifteen minutes since she came here from the exit, and she had already seen three Fiendish Cultivators.
Lord East Source was formed from the Hongmeng Rib Bone, and his disciples were naturally from a prestigious sect. Those who were taught by his disciples were also orthodox and traditional cultivators.
Where there were people, there were disputes. Many outer sect disciples felt that the traditional cultivation method was too slow due to their poor foundation, so they chose to become Fiendish Cultivators.
The cultivation method of Fiendish Cultivators was the same as the cultivation method of some demonic creatures in the Underworld. They both absorbed the cultivation of others to strengthen their own cultivation, which was despicable.
Among the three realms, Lord East Source hated the Underworld the most, so he hated Fiendish Cultivators who cultivated the same cultivation method as the demonic creatures in the Underworld. He ordered his disciples to kill any Fiendish Cultivators they saw.
After Lord East Source returned to the Heavenly Realm, although there were still Fiendish Cultivators, there were not many of them left after being hunted down by orthodox cultivators. It had only been a few thousand years, so how did Fiendish Cultivators become so rampant?
A huge question mark appeared in Jiujiu's mind, and she could not help but take a few more glances at the Fiendish Cultivators.
At this moment, one of the Fiendish Cultivators suddenly mutated. Two long horns suddenly grew on his head, and he grabbed a person beside him and bit his neck.
What puzzled Jiujiu was that the person grabbed by the Fiendish Cultivator did not struggle at all. Instead, a blissful and longing smile appeared on his face. This scene was really strange.
The demonic cultivator's blood pierced the human's neck, and bright red blood instantly flowed out. The demonic cultivator sucked the human's blood in large mouthfuls. After a long time, he threw the human's dried corpse to the ground with a carefree expression and left without looking back.
The Fiendish Cultivator's ferocious appearance shocked everyone, but no one resisted. In fact, after the Fiendish Cultivator left, everyone looked at the mummy with yearning. Jiujiu even heard one sentence.
"I didn't expect it to be this position this time."
"Who asked him to come early? Let's come early next time too. We'll definitely be the ones chosen by the Venerable One."
The two of them chattered as they walked away. However, their conversation was so vague that Jiujiu couldn't understand what they were talking about.
The public's reaction to the Demonic Cultivators did not seem to be one of fear. Instead, it seemed more like they were yearning for them. It was as if being eaten by a Demonic Cultivator was a very pleasant thing.
With such a strange scene, Jiujiu suspected that the public had been brainwashed to think that being bitten by a Demonic Cultivator was good for them.
Jiujiu turned around and entered the human inn. She was prepared to go there and ask for information.
Jiujiu ordered a few dishes and a pot of tea. She pretended to eat while listening to the conversation of the people in the inn.
One of them grumbled, "Why hasn't the Immortal Tower opened this year?"
Another person lowered his voice and said, "I heard from the Lou Family that the Heaven Realm did not give way."
The person who asked the question gasped and lowered his voice to ask, "Someone from the Heaven Realm came?"
"I heard that this time, it was the Venerable One from the Demon Clan who ascended a hundred years ago."
"That person sucked the blood of tens of thousands of cultivators and successfully ascended. With such a sinister way of doing things, the Heaven Realm actually let him stay?"
When the Demonic Cultivator ascended, everyone thought that even if the Demonic Cultivator succeeded in ascending, he would definitely die a horrible death. Who would have thought …
"I heard that it's because it's useful for Heavenly Lords!" After that person finished speaking, he covered his mouth and whispered a few words into that person's ear. That person could not help but sigh. After a long time, he said, "Heaven and Earth are heartless and treat all living things like straw dogs. I don't know how long this human world will last. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's drink …"
In just a few sentences, Jiujiu had already sorted out a lot of information.
A hundred years ago, a Demonic Cultivator ascended to the Heaven Realm. Not only did Lord Zhaoling not kill him, he even let him stay.
The Heaven Realm and the Underworld had always been incompatible. If it were not for Lord Dong Yuan, the two realms would not have worked together. With the Heaven Realm's lofty way of doing things, why would they allow such an evil existence like the Demonic Cultivator to stay in the Heaven Realm? It was really strange.
Unless … that person was right. That Demonic Cultivator was beneficial to Lord Zhaoling.
And the Demonic Cultivator's purpose was to suck other people's cultivation …
Thinking about Lord Dong Yuan's body, Jiujiu suspected that the Demonic Cultivator left behind by Lord Zhaoling had something to do with Lord Dong Yuan.
After Jiujiu finished her meal, she rested upstairs for the night. Early the next morning, she heard someone shouting from downstairs, "The Immortal Seeking Tower is open, the Immortal Seeking Tower is open! Hurry up and test your Spirit Roots, hurry up and test your Spirit Roots!"
Demonic Cultivators did whatever they wanted in the human world. Even the Emperor of the human world could not do anything about it.
In order to prevent the human world from panicking, the Emperor of the human world could only lie about being bitten by a Demonic Cultivator and that he would have a Spirit Root in his next life to deceive the public.
How could a normal person reach the heavens in a single bound? All they needed was a Spirit Root!
After the Immortal Seeking Tower opened, countless people immediately rushed into the Immortal Seeking Tower, hoping that they could test their Spirit Roots and become cultivators. In the future, they could also become immortals of the Heaven Realm.
Jiujiu followed the crowd into the Immortal Seeking Tower.
The interior of the Immortal Seeking Tower was incomparably luxurious. The people in charge of testing Spirit Roots were all late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and half-step Golden Core cultivators. The cultivator in charge of testing Jiujiu was a delicate and pretty girl. When she saw that Jiujiu was young, she said with a gentle expression, "Place your hand on this testing ball and feel it with your heart."
Jiujiu nodded obediently and placed her hand on the testing ball.
The testing ball was made of an unknown material. It was transparent and looked like glass. It looked very cold. However, when Jiujiu's hand touched the glass ball, the glass ball was indeed soft and warm to the touch. It was like a big piece of hot steamed bun.
Jiujiu rubbed the testing ball. At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a blinding light. A burst of thunder and lightning gathered in the room, creating a deafening sound.
The testing ball could test Spirit Roots.
However, most people's Spirit Roots would only be shown in the testing ball. For people like Jiujiu, whose Spirit Roots could not be contained in the testing ball, it actually showed in the outside world. Since the founding of the Blackheaven Sect, no one had such an effect.
Even though she did not enter the Stairway to Heaven, everyone could already confirm that Jiujiu was a one-in-a-million peerless genius.
When the cultivator, who was already gentle to Jiujiu, saw such a phenomenon, her eyes widened in shock. When she looked at Jiujiu again, she looked at Jiujiu as if she was looking at a rare treasure. Her face was full of surprise, "What's your name?"
She actually met such a genius. She was really lucky.
Jiujiu blinked her big round eyes and said in a childish voice, "My name is Jiujiu."
"Jiujiu, is it? Who are your parents? Did they come with you? "
