I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 255 Fortune Protection

The other Demons instantly discovered A’Rixi’s death through their bloodline resonance.

One should know that the Demons didn’t share the same bloodline at first; heck, they were not even a race back then.

Only due to the Human Emperors’ suppression they became a race after so many years. The strongest Demon of a certain era had collected all the bloodlines of the scattered Demons and fused them, giving birth to the Demon race and a special bloodline. This was their path to survival.

“It’s definitely that person! It can’t be wrong!”

“He is no different from those lunatics in the bloodline memories!”

“Maybe he is waiting for us, just like those lunatics!”

The Demons gathered together to discuss A’Rixi’s death.

They did not rush to the place where A’Rixi had died. Instead, they gathered together to discuss how they were going to deal with it.

They even speculated that Zhou Feng was waiting for them.

If Zhou Feng knew that his plan was exposed, he would be shocked.

Normally, no one would think he would continue to wait for them.

Unfortunately, they had immediately seen through his plan.

The reason was simple. Each Human Emperor had been crazier than the other, and they had employed this tactic countless times.

Some had even been captured deliberately and waited for the Demons to gather. They would then self-destruct, taking their enemies with them.

That kind of crazy will was deeply engraved in the Demon race’s bloodline memories.

Otherwise, the Demon race would not be so miserable and could only hide in this remote place, struggling for their lives.

One had to know that the Southern Border itself was relatively remote in this world. It was not the main area of activity for human cultivators.

Not to mention that this was the most remote place in the Southern Border itself.

If one were to talk about the Holy Land of human cultivation, only the Eastern Land, which was filled with Spiritual Grotto-Heavens, and the Central Plains, which used to be the land of the human race, could be counted as such.

The rest of the Southern Border, the Far West, and the Northern Region were all poor places in the eyes of many human cultivators.

One of the Demons made a suggestion. “Then what should we do now? Do we have to invite the patriarch out of the mountain?”

This suggestion was quickly rejected. It was too risky to invite a Demon King[1].

Human Divine Ability experts were not to be trifled with, after all.

Although the Demons were not afraid of ordinary Divine Ability experts and could even fight with human cultivators who had just entered the Divine Ability realm, the crux of the matter was that the Heavenly Star Patriarch was in charge of Heavenly Star City.

That was a monster that had lost in the competition in the Central Plains. He was a pinnacle Divine Ability expert and a step away from breaking through to an even more mysterious domain.

The most troublesome matter was that the Heavenly Star Patriarch had a dao artifact to help him. His Starlight of the Nine Heavens would automatically target the Demon Kings. If there were any unusual movements, they would be attacked immediately.

As a result, unless they could invite another Demon King (Patriarch) or a Demon of a higher realm, it was impossible to invite the slumbering Demon King casually to make a move.

Not to mention, they were only here to deal with a human Purple Mansion cultivator.

At present, the Demons were at the stage where they were accumulating their strength. It wasn’t appropriate for them to cause any trouble.

“Then what should we do?”

“Why don’t the three of us go and investigate?”

“If we work together, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to keep our lives!”

“We just need to be careful of that person risking his life!”

“Good!”

The three Demons thought about it and decided to meet Zhou Feng personally.

No matter what, their combined strength was a force to be reckoned with.

As long as they focused on defense, they believed that Zhou Feng wouldn’t be able to do anything to them.

In any case, as long as they were careful and fended against Zhou Feng’s killing techniques, such as the life-ending Soul Punch, they should be able to save their lives.

Zhou Feng probably didn’t expect that these Demons would be so spineless. They had the advantage in numbers, yet they were already considering a way out.

This was too shameful!

However, the Demons didn’t share this sentiment. Their survival was their top priority.

They only needed to endure. Relying on their special physiques and lifespan, they would be the final victors.

Although humans had many monsters, their lifespans were still a bit short. This should be their greatest weakness!

Zhou Feng had been sitting cross-legged for a few days now, swallowing all sorts of herbs and pills from time to time.

He was even continuously swallowing the Bloodline Pills that he had found in the treasury.

Ever since he had obtained the second heart, the amount of Blood Qi that his body could contain had doubled.

Zhou Feng was constantly filling in this gap right now. At the same time, he was using this opportunity to break through to the 2nd Level of the Purple Mansion realm.

Also, the passive Purification of Heaven and Earth was indeed effective against the Bloodline Pills’ side effects.

Initially, one would slowly accumulate some Demonic Qi in their body by consuming the Bloodline Pill.

This Demonic Qi was tough to expel, an almost irreversible process.

However, it was not worth mentioning in the face of the passive Purification of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, Zhou Feng was able to swallow the Bloodline Pill without any scruples, purifying and improving his Human Emperor bloodline.

Zhou Feng was constantly moving the huge amount of Blood Qi in his body and then refining his body according to the method recorded in the Human Emperor Scripture.

The golden Blood Qi was like a real dragon that was entrenched on Zhou Feng’s body.

It would course through his entire body from time to time and draw upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. This scene was jaw-dropping

He himself was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His white clothes were fluttering in the wind, and his body was sparkling, while the surrounding air had become scorching hot.

“Break!”

When the drop of Human Emperor Blood was condensed in his second heart, Zhou Feng opened his eyes and roared.

The bottleneck of the 2nd Level of the Purple Mansion realm cracked, and there was no obstruction at all.

He stepped into the 2nd Level of the Purple Mansion realm!

The instant Zhou Feng broke through to the 2nd Level of the Purple Mansion realm, a dragon’s roar rose into the air.

This dragon’s roar was even clearer than before, and the dragon was no longer an indistinct phantom.

Strands of golden Dragon Qi began to gather, and then they guarded Zhou Feng’s Soul Altar. Then, an illusory dragon made of Dragon Qi enveloped his nascent soul. It looked noble and ancient, and it was slowly nourishing Zhou Feng’s nascent soul.

“What’s going on!?”

This unexpected turn of events startled Zhou Feng

This was because a cultivator’s soul was of utmost importance. Now that such a change had occurred, it was impossible for Zhou Feng not to be nervous.

After observing for a while, he did not find anything amiss. Instead, the threads of Dragon Qi were constantly nourishing his soul.

“The soul injury is slowly recovering!?’

Zhou Feng felt that it was a bit like the legendary fortune protection.

According to the legends, the heirs of many sects and large clans would have the so-called fortune protection, guarding their souls against outsiders.

At the same time, they could turn misfortune into luck and even take the initiative to protect their master when necessary.

‘But I am a mere vagabond cultivator! How could I attract this so-called fortune protection? Where does this fortune come from!?’
