Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Great Marsh Prefecture's second herb production area, the Sealing Demon Mountain Range.

As the location that provides innumerable herbs to the Martial Cultivators of the Great Marsh Prefecture, its many valleys are filled with countless green herbs exuding medicinal fragrance. Yet now, the Sealing Demon Mountain Range has been occupied by Great Demons, becoming a mountain range teeming with Demons, where innumerable Brown Bear Demon People are busy in the valleys.

These Demon People, demonized by the Demons, are covered in brown curly hair, with broad palms and sharp claws. They have short bear tails behind them. They constantly move back and forth in the valleys, watering the herbs, weeding, and loosening the soil. Their movements are agile and powerful. Even the shortest of the Brown Bear Demon People possess strength comparable to a First Layer Martial Cultivator!

If a human were to be contaminated by a small amount of Demon Qi, at most three to five out of a thousand would survive. These three to five would become the Demon People controlled by such Demons!

There seem to be tens of thousands of Brown Bear Demon People in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range. Calculating carefully, who knows how many humans had to die for these tens of thousands of Demon People to survive!

Among them, some burly Brown Bear Demon People stand at various mountain path checkpoints, directing the other Demon People. These burly Brown Bear Demon People mostly have two short tails!

At the center of the mountain range, on the tallest Sealed Demon Mountain, in a cave at its peak, a small bear with golden fur squatted on a stone chair. It savored various precious hundred-year and thousand-year Spirit Medicines, while a few voluptuous, lightly clad human women cautiously waited on it.

At the cave entrance, a Brown Bear Demon Person, nine feet tall with seven tails and wrapped entirely in dense Demon Qi, stepped in. He strode to the stone table, knelt on one knee, and said in a gruff voice, "Great King, you summoned me!"

The Demon with golden fur was very tiny, like a little Teddy bear. However, when it looked at the powerful Brown Bear Demon Person, it merely waved its paw casually and uttered in a sharp, human-like voice, "The Ba Mountain Secret Realm is about to open. You should set off now!"

The Brown Bear Demon Person's face, covered in brown fur, showed seriousness. "Invincible obeys the order. This time at the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, Invincible will definitely capture the Celestial Sect Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er to present to the Great King. Let that Great Xia Saintess pick flowers and fruits, groom and delouse the Great King, and serve obediently!"

Upon hearing this, the small bear with golden fur jumped a few times on the stone chair, seemingly extremely pleased, then it waved its small paw. The nine-foot-tall Brown Bear Demon Person bowed. A mass of black Demon Qi then enveloped his body, lifting him out of the cave.

The small bear with golden fur moved its paws to its chest and jumped around for a while. Then, it grabbed the wine pot on the table, drank for a bit, and finally lay down on the stone table, snoring loudly as it fell asleep.

The few lightly clad women beside the table, seeing it fall asleep, all silently left the cave. Their faces showed the horror of surviving a disaster as they crouched down trembling on the left side of the cave.

One of the women, trembling, looked towards the right side of the cave. Over there was a valley where bones, covered with bloodstains and fragments of flesh, were stacked layer upon layer. There were innumerable Demon bones, countless beasts' bones too, and who knows how many tens of thousands of broken human skeletons!

A few tiny, seemingly cute and adorable little bears were hopping and chasing around on the bone mountain, chirping noisily. These little bears with golden fur grabbed bones to gnaw on when hungry and slept on the bone mountain when tired!

Their small and cute appearance, with shiny black eyes, was originally quite adorable, but set against those white bones, they seemed exceptionally eerie....

...

In Nanyuan Prefecture City, Prince Yu's Mansion sprawled over thousands of acres. Tall buildings stood one after another, and the courtyards were constructed luxuriously. Wisps of white mist swirled around, making the entire Prince Yu's Mansion look like an earthly paradise!

In the very center stood a seven-story building with glazed glass eaves and upturned corners, the epitome of a celestial jade palace. In the spacious courtyard below this seven-story building, a handsome man in a blue robe was using a crimson longsword to cut up the corpse of a Demon.

This Tier Five Late-stage Demon was massive. Its claws alone were as thick as an adult's height, and its hide was as tough as Profound Iron. However, under the handsome man's True Qi-infused longsword, it sliced through like tofu, offering no resistance.

At this moment, a man in a Purple Gold Robe walked into the courtyard and said, "Young Prince, it's time to set off for the Ba City Secret Realm. Madam has prepared three Spider Demon Pearls, ten Ghost Frog Pouches, and three hundred Zhengyuan Grasses for you! Several Fifth Layer Mid-grade Guards are already waiting outside!"

The handsome young man, known as the Young Prince, looked northward. This time, the Celestial Sect Saintess will also be attending the opening of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm! They all say she is the number one genius among millions in the Great Xia Dynasty! "Prefect Zhang, what do you think? How does she compare to me?"

Upon hearing this, Prefect Zhang in the Purple Gold Robe said, "Celestial Sect Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er possesses the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein and has also mastered the Blood Bath Divine Skill. Among the millions in the Great Xia Dynasty, she can indeed be called a genius! But what do they know? The Young Prince possesses the Jade Qilin Strange Vein, which can rival even the ancient legendary Candle Dragon Strange Vein. The number one genius in the Great Xia Dynasty is none other than you, Young Prince! Furthermore, you have been diligently cultivating day and night and have already reached the Mid-grade of the Sixth Layer. You are soon to advance to the Late Stage. How can anyone else in the Great Xia Dynasty compare? Even in the Central Divine Dynasty, you, Young Prince, would be counted among the handful of peerless geniuses!"
