Mythological origins

"Why does it sound a bit like raising a Gu?"

"..."

"But the number of lives lost by casual cultivators like us is actually much less than that of the disciples of the Seven Killing Sect..." Master Shuijing said self-deprecatingly.

According to the calculation of the Seven Killing Sword, a beginner cultivator can theoretically reach the Foundation Establishment Stage by killing ten early Qi Refining, ten middle Qi Refining, ten late Qi Refining, and one Foundation Establishment cultivator, a total of thirty-one people.

In their more than ten years of adventuring career, the number of killings and treasures they have faced is actually almost the same, and they have long been numb.

With only thirty people, some ruthless people can gather enough heads in one or two adventures.

"After all, they are not as good as the geniuses of the big sects, who can practice to the Foundation Establishment Pill in the mountain gate safely without even leaving the gate."

"We casual cultivators have to fight for a little resource..."

Although the three have already established their foundation, they still feel a little indignant when they recall the bits and pieces of their experiences in the Qi Refining Stage.

"Then... what do you think we should do with this Seven Killing Sword?"

"Put it aside for now... such a harmful and evil technique." Shui Jing said something that he himself did not quite believe.

They were constrained by the bottleneck of their qualifications, and the normal cultivation effect was almost non-existent. If they did not take some crooked paths, they would probably stay in the early stage of foundation building until their lifespans were exhausted.

"I am afraid that the Seven Killing Sword is not only in our hands..." Jin Guang sighed lightly.

He was the most conscientious one among the three people, and did not want to see the Seven Killing Sword spread. It would be fine if he used it himself, but if everyone used it, it would only cause the entire cultivation world to suffer.

"Senior... what are you thinking about?"

"I suddenly thought of something."

"Is this Seven Killing Sword effective in killing monsters?"

"You can give it a try. If it works, it's not bad."

There is no doubt that the three of them were tempted by this technique, but they were human after all, and they were not demons who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

If they could kill monsters instead of people, their conscience would not be so uncomfortable.

Of course, if they can't, being a hero who upholds justice, using the Seven Killing Sword to punish evil and promote good, and kill all kinds of monsters, is not a bad cover.

The Seven Killing Sword must be practiced, but they still have to find a reason to convince their conscience and let themselves feel at ease to kill people.

Coming out of the Unfaithful Palace, looking at the endless stream of people outside like a tour group, the three of them didn't have the heart to hunt for treasures anymore.

The Seven Killing Sword in hand is the biggest treasure of the Seven Killing Palace.

After taking the Bu Tian Pill to improve the qualifications, and then you have to work hard to practice in seclusion for many years, how can it be as refreshing as killing monsters and upgrading.

Practice, practice, practice, live for a thousand years, eight hundred years in seclusion in the cave, and the remaining two hundred years may be spent killing people and stealing treasures. How much time is left that really belongs to you, what's the point.

...

"I always feel that something seems to be wrong."

Not long after the three of them left the secret realm of the Seven Killing Palace in advance, they inexplicably had a premonition of a disaster.

"I feel a little uncomfortable too."

"Hurry up, go!"

"The farther away from the Seven Killings Palace, the better."

Driven by a strong premonition, Jin Guang and the others almost used all their strength to escape and flew towards the teleportation point of the Anxiang Pavilion.

But before they flew for long, a shocking explosion occurred at the location where the Seven Killings Palace was originally located!

It was dark.

Even the sunlight was covered.

For a long time, except for the thunder caused by the shock wave, no other sound could be heard.

"Spirit Turtle Island... is completely gone."    Shui Jing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and used a special detection spell to talk about his observation results.

The spiritual energy fluctuations at the center of the explosion were extremely chaotic, and even if they were just observing, they still needed to be cautious.

They were already hundreds of miles away from the center of the explosion, but they still suffered serious internal injuries.

"Above Linggui Island, where the Seven Killing Hall used to be, there seems to be a black gate..."

"Gate? Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but it looks like a gate."

"..."

"I can see that behind that door, there are many, many slippery tentacles whose colors are unclear..."

"Ahhh!!!" Suddenly, several screams came from Zhao Zilin.

"Shui Jing! How come there are so many tentacles coming out of your body!"

"Get off?"

"Hurry up, use the sword and fire talisman!"

After a lot of chaos, Jin Guang and the other two finally cut off the tentacles that inexplicably grew on Shui Jing's body, and burned all the tentacles scattered on the ground into charcoal.

"Is this the legendary arrival of the true demon world?" Shui Jing tried to use his not-so-rich experience to explain everything he saw.

"The demonic path in Yuanyang Realm is not popular, so what is the reason for the arrival of the True Demon Realm?"

"Even if it is not popular, it is just that there are no Divine Transformation cultivators. I heard that there are still some Nascent Soul Great Demons."

"I am afraid that the world of cultivation will be troubled again."

"If the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it. It is not our turn as Foundation Establishment cultivators to worry."

The three of them confirmed the current situation and continued their retreat.

Are you kidding me? A monster that can make you grow tentacles all over your body just by secretly looking at it from hundreds of miles away, you are tired of living and then join in the fun. You just picked up some adventures from the old man of the Seven Killing Hall, and you really think you are the protagonist?

What’s more, the seniors in the Seven Killings Hall may have an unclear relationship with this “Demon Realm”. They don’t believe it’s such a coincidence that they just received the divine inheritance of the Seven Killings Sword from it, and then the Seven Killings Hall exploded.

There must be something fishy.

…

Three months later, Master Shui Jing bought the latest information about the Seven Killings Hall in the Anxiang Pavilion.

Shortly after the explosion that day, a large number of curious corpse-collecting monks rushed over like hyenas.

The reason is also very simple.

Such a horrible explosion, plus the fact that so many monks who went to adventure in the Seven Killings Hall gathered before, they are probably all buried in the explosion.

Even the few possible survivors are definitely not in a good condition.

A large number of monks who died accidentally are exactly what the corpse-collecting monks dream of.

They don’t have the courage and strength to attack the intact monks and snatch the treasures from the other party.

They don’t have the ability to explore the dangerous secrets and deal with the fierce monsters.

But he is really good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes or bullying the motionless dead.

Unfortunately, this time, the corpse collector encountered a corpse that had transformed.

According to a few monks who had escaped by chance and were already half crazy, the area near the Seven Killing Hall had completely turned into a world like the Demon Realm.

Most of the monks who died there would gradually turn into strange monsters with eyes on their wings. These monsters would cruise around the Demon Realm and would gather in groups to watch strangers, but they would generally not take the initiative to attack the monks.
