Chapter 536: The Divine Transformation Inheritance—The Extreme Desire Demonic Plan

The Joyful Union Demonic Sect was once extremely prosperous, even ranking among the top few demonic sects in Chiyuan. However, after experiencing a devastating destruction, its lineage was broken. Since then, it has never recovered, and its current ranking among the Five Demonic Sects is almost at the very bottom. The sect currently only has two cultivators at the Grand Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul realm: one is the sect leader, and the other is Red Dust Old Demon, Wang Yu's target for this visit.

Along the way, Dou Zhao had already learned of Wang Yu's intentions. He expressed some concern. "Master, aren't we being a bit too arrogant with this approach?"

Wang Yu shook his head and responded, "Remember, cultivating demonic arts is also a form of cultivating the mind. Learning to restrain the endless desires that come with power is an integral part of cultivation. When you are completely controlled by power, you are not far from true demonic deviation."

"Uh..." Dou Zhao seemed to understand, yet not fully.

Under the influence of the Guixu Hidden Heaven Charm, the master and disciple entered the sect's main gate as if no one else was present. The Joyful Union Sect's mountain gate was not vast, instead being small and exquisite. The palace complex was built very densely and soared high. The number of female disciples far outnumbered male disciples within the sect, a scene of yin overpowering yang that fully reflected its former glory.

The female cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect were all quite attractive. The beautifying and nourishing effects of their cultivation techniques gave them milky-white skin, and beneath their thin, alluring clothing were curvaceous figures. Their style was remarkably bold; in other places, it might even be considered scandalous. Many bedroom products in Chiyuan were initially developed by this sect, quickly spreading and leading countless old lechers in Chiyuan to the forefront of fashion.

Male disciples in the Joyful Union Sect held remarkably high status. If a female cultivator's cultivation was lower than a male's, she might even have to pay spirit stones to gain a dual cultivation opportunity. While abstract at first glance, this was an inevitable outcome of intense competition within the environment. "Many monks, little porridge" was the prevailing truth here.

Along the way, they encountered many cultivators with open and daring styles. Under the flowers and moonlight, behind trees, or on rocks—wherever people could lie down, one could hear soft, blush-inducing moans. It was truly a giant demonic pleasure palace. Many uniquely shaped two-story red pavilions lacked doors and windows, covered only by red gauze resembling bead curtains. When the wind blew strongly, one could even vaguely glimpse the exquisite scenes within. This was no ordinary sect, and its cultivators were certainly not ordinary. The vigorous shaking of the pavilions even loosened the soil around the surrounding trees, clearly indicating that these were highly skilled disciples who had mastered the true teachings of Joyful Union!

Dou Zhao remained somewhat shy and reserved throughout the journey. He was both curious about the sights and concerned about Wang Yu noticing his interest, so he dared not look, yet his ears were more sensitive than usual. Even Xueyu sensed his conflicted state. For this "visit," the little fox remained in Wang Yu's sleeve, claiming it would be convenient for them to choose an inheritance together later, as she also desired the Joyful Union Demonic Sect's legacy. She had no other intentions; she simply wanted to study advanced human dual cultivation techniques, having discovered many areas of learning along the way. For instance, some female cultivators wore thin white silk stockings that reached their upper thighs. These cicada-wing-thin stockings made their legs appear even smoother and whiter. They possessed an unexpected allure, almost like something sacred, making one instinctively want to lick them. There were also various colors such as black, gray, and flesh-toned. There were butterfly patterns, phoenix patterns, mesh patterns, and even spiritual artifact versions of seductive clothing, which made Xueyu exclaim inwardly, "The person who invented these silk stockings must be a genius!"

Finally, after many unnecessary detours, the master, disciple, and little fox arrived at Red Dust Old Demon's immortal's abode. As one of the two highest-ranking individuals in the Joyful Union Demonic Sect, Red Dust Old Demon's abode was extremely vast, comprising twelve main palaces and thirty-six side halls, almost occupying the entire mountain peak. Inside, delightful music from strings and flutes filled the air, alongside uncensored performances by dancers and guests. Many Joyful Union Sect cultivators were gathered there. They seemed to be celebrating something.

Red Dust Old Demon, seated in the main position, looked so ancient his teeth seemed to have fallen out, with a few dry, unyielding white hairs stubbornly clinging to the skin on the sides of his head. The deep wrinkles on his face were so thick they could almost trap mosquitoes and flies. His eye bags almost drooped to the sides of his lips, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow decaying teeth. His repulsive appearance was such that only a few rare exceptions in the entire demonic path could rival it. Given this, Yu Hongchen's handsome appearance makes it hard to believe he is the offspring of this ugly old man. Red Dust Old Demon was standing in front of the main seat, speaking loudly.

"Everyone," he proclaimed, "after the Thunderfire Monastery, Crane Return Valley is also on the verge of defeat. Under the leadership of Blood Demon Venerable and Yellow Springs Venerable, this righteous-demonic war is distinctly different from previous ones. I propose..."

Before his words fell, Wang Yu's figure flashed, appearing in the center of the banquet hall. Demonic energy spread outwards like a shockwave, sending all the naked guests and dancers flying. Dou Zhao cautiously followed beside him, his vigilant gaze sweeping over everyone, seemingly ready to erupt into action at any moment. This hostile stance caused Red Dust Old Demon to frown deeply.

"Who are you?" he demanded. "How did you bypass my sect's mountain-protecting array?"

"Everyone, don't panic," Wang Yu stated. "I believe you've all heard of my name, Wang. I'm here to conduct a transaction with Red Dust Old Demon."

"A transaction?" Red Dust Old Demon abruptly jumped from the high platform. With a wave of his right hand, a pink demonic sword imbued with intense lust appeared in his grasp, and a mocking sneer spread across his ancient face. "This old man has never seen anyone conduct a transaction in such a manner," he scoffed. "Furthermore... you seem to have forgotten that this is the mountain gate of the Joyful Union Demonic Sect. Is it a place where a junior cultivator like you can come and go as you please? —Behold my sword!"

Among the guests were also Nascent Soul ancestors of the Joyful Union Sect. Some, eager to curry favor with Red Dust Old Demon, voluntarily launched attacks towards Wang Yu. Seeing numerous divine abilities and sword light whistling towards him, Wang Yu merely frowned. "This Venerable is in a hurry," he stated. "I have no time for pleasantries with you. Since you refuse a toast and choose a forfeit, then you might as well die."

—Boom!

With an explosive sound, the "Control over Force" technique evenly distributed Wang Yu's unparalleled divine power throughout the surrounding space, forming an upgraded field effect. The air solidified as if tangible. Sword light and various divine abilities seemed to hit an iron wall, stopping three meters away from Wang Yu, who stood at the center. Even the explosive flames from some area-of-effect divine abilities could not penetrate this three-meter absolute domain. The power displayed was extraordinarily shocking.

"How can this be!" The cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect turned pale with fright.

Red Dust Old Demon, with a look of disbelief, gritted his teeth and summoned his life-bound spiritual artifact—a blood-stained cloth, apparently tainted by menstrual blood. The spiritual artifact exuded a foul, defiling aura, making Wang Yu show a disgusted expression. He immediately waved his hand and pointed, and the Ice Chi Dan Flame, at its peak fifth-tier state, displayed its divine might for the first time before the world. It transformed into a blazing blue dragon, swiftly devouring one by one the cultivators who had just attacked Wang Yu, subjecting them to a hell of extreme cold and extreme heat. These cultivators, mostly not even at the late Nascent Soul stage, could not possibly withstand it. Not even a cry of agony could escape before they were incinerated to ashes. Only their Spatial Rings, one by one, flew into Wang Yu's palm. He had effortlessly gained a trove of spiritual items.

At the same time, the filthy blood-stained cloth expanded several times, pressing down like a net covering the sky and earth. The Ice Chi Flame Dragon violently collided with it, causing the cloth to emit black smoke. In less than three breaths, the life-bound spiritual artifact was completely destroyed. Red Dust Old Demon's face turned pale as he collapsed to his knees, black, foul blood oozing freely from his pores. He quickly became a bloodied figure. His consciousness seemed to suffer a great blow, and he constantly muttered, "This is impossible... How can a mere junior possess such terrifying strength?" Clearly, he recognized Wang Yu.

A life-bound spiritual artifact is intimately connected to its cultivator, serving not only as their most powerful trump card but also as a bond of life and death. When it is destroyed so thoroughly, severe injury is a minor consequence; reduced lifespan and an unstable foundation are the norm. Without timely healing, one's cultivation realm might even regress.

After using just a fraction of his power to calm the cultivators, Wang Yu, with a wave of his hand, summoned two transparent ice spheres containing the curled-up Nascent Souls of Yu Hongchen and Ji Changjing. With his other hand, he retrieved their physical bodies. Wang Yu said concisely, "Red Dust Old Demon, these two should be your outstanding juniors, right? My demands are not high: open up the Joyful Union Sect's inheritance for this Venerable to choose from. These two will then remain yours."

"Yu'er?" He knew Yu Hongchen had gone to the Celestial Palace Secret Realm of the demon race, and he had even given him an ancient Heavenly Dark Charm, whose effect could almost guarantee his escape from any predicament. Therefore, even though the wave of exploring the Celestial Palace Secret Realm had ended, he hadn't worried about Yu Hongchen's safety, as long as his soul lamp within the sect remained lit. It was considered normal for him to wander outside for hundreds of years. He never expected him to fall into Wang Yu's hands.

His thoughts stopped there, and Red Dust Old Demon's gaze turned resentful. "If Fellow Daoist had revealed this... object of trade earlier," he lamented, "this old man would not have acted this way."

In response, Wang Yu merely let out a sarcastic chuckle. He offered no reply. Given the customs of the demonic path, expecting a fair trade without demonstrating power was naive. If they didn't completely exploit you, you could forget about leaving through that gate.

Seeing his only son's life and death in the hands of someone he had just made an enemy of, Red Dust Old Demon was inclined to agree. However, at least five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Joyful Union Sect had just perished. Among those present were genuine powerhouses at the late Nascent Soul stage, all influential figures within the Joyful Union Demonic Sect, who had not taken action earlier merely to appease Red Dust Old Demon. Wang Yu naturally didn't target them, so they were fortunate to have escaped a calamity. But betraying the sect's inheritance in front of them would almost certainly cut off any possibility of further advancement within the sect in the future. The sect leader's approval would definitely be insurmountable.

Just as he was in this dilemma, a red streak of light suddenly appeared outside the hall, entering at an extremely fast speed. The person looked like an ordinary middle-aged man with common features. Yet, he was the current sect leader of the Joyful Union Demonic Sect, known as — Tianyuzi! His cultivation had long reached the Grand Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his combat ability surpassed that of Red Dust Old Demon. He had, of course, rushed here quickly after receiving a spiritual message from his trusted aides.

His gaze swept over the blood-gourd-like Red Dust Old Demon. Tianyuzi's gaze quickly settled on Wang Yu, and he couldn't help but frown deeply. Wang Yu's aura was unfathomable; even he, who cultivated a special divine sense technique, could not see through it. Just based on this, the fundamental disparity between them was evident. He truly couldn't fathom how a Reverse Spirit Blood Sect could simultaneously produce so many talents. And when he considered that Wang Yu was not even four hundred years old, he felt a pang of regret for such a promising young cultivator. *What a pity, he's not from my Joyful Union Demonic Sect.* As this thought flashed through his mind, Tianyuzi finally spoke.

"Young brother Wang Yu..."

"Wait." Wang Yu raised a hand to stop Tianyuzi, stating with a serious expression, "This Venerable believes you are being a bit disrespectful to me. If you provoke my fury again, the losses won't be limited to just this."

Tianyuzi's already furrowed brow became even more constricted. He truly couldn't fathom where Wang Yu's confidence stemmed from. After much thought, he decided not to use the Joyful Union Demonic Sect to intimidate him. Instead, he said: "What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Wang? You've killed Nascent Soul ancestors of my sect and are still speaking so arrogantly. Do you think the Demonic Alliance will simply stand by and watch you slaughter its allies? Once you do this, the first one who won't let you off is your own sect leader. After all, to put it broadly, you're disrupting the demonic path's grand plan to attack Taihu Lake. There's still room to negotiate with my sect."

"Won't let me off? —Hahahahaha!"

Arrogant laughter echoed throughout the hall as Wang Yu's entire body erupted with an imposing aura. Silver threads danced wildly like dragons, and an overwhelmingly powerful pressure spread out, enveloping the entire mountain gate of the Joyful Union Demonic Sect. Almost everyone felt a soul-striking fear wash over them, their knees instinctively buckling to the ground, submitting to this overwhelming might.

Tianyuzi's stiff expression almost froze. A few words painfully emerged from his throat. "A Soul... Soul Transformation... cultivator? How is this possible?!"

Not only him, but everyone present was utterly terrified. Red Dust Old Demon, the instigator of this conflict, was already prostrating himself on the ground, shouting loudly, "Venerable Senior, I agree to all your demands, all of them!"

Tianyuzi also regained his composure and immediately knelt on one knee. "Please do not blame me for any offense towards Senior," he pleaded. "Tianyuzi is willing to personally lead Senior to the inheritance ground for selection. Anything Senior fancies can be taken... consider it compensation for offending Senior."

Red Dust Old Demon's thoughts: *No, Sect Leader, these are the conditions for my son's return, not some compensation.* He only dared to utter this sentence silently in his heart.

However, no one paid him any mind now. A cultivator who loses their life-bound spiritual artifact will have their strength greatly diminished, only retaining their realm to bully the weak, and can no longer be considered a true powerhouse. Wang Yu's presence was like a towering mountain, suffocating everyone and making them understand why he had always been so fearless—because he possessed Soul Transformation cultivation. With such power, he could naturally remain composed and in control!

After these Joyful Union ancestors no longer had any objections, Wang Yu and his companions finally successfully entered the Joyful Union inheritance ground. This cultivation path originated from the Ancestor of Desire Demons, who was considered one of the more active ancient demons. Its power of allure was exceptionally strong, always capable of corrupting reckless individuals and causing them to conduct large-scale sacrifices in ancient demon sealing grounds. The most top-tier inheritance of this path was naturally the Soul Transformation cultivation technique—the Extreme Desire Heavenly Demonic Art, a superb Soul Transformation inheritance derived from the ancient demon of desire.
