I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Demon Suppression Tower. Find your next read on empire

A realm where the Heaven Patching Sect suppresses malicious demons and disciples who have violated the sect's laws.

Those who qualify to be locked inside are at least at the Divinity Transformation level; legends say that an ancient demon of the Return to Void realm is suppressed at the bottom of the tower.

Thus, the Demon Suppression Tower is unlike common mortal prisons; the demons imprisoned have enormous strength, and it's unpredictable when they might break through the restrictions. If they escape, they will surely first slaughter the prison guards to vent their anger, then be suppressed again by the sect's ancient ancestors.

Zhou Yi wouldn't dare get anywhere near such a perilous place.

"Thank you, Master, for pleading on your disciple's behalf."

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "Why doesn't the sect just disperse the souls of those demons and send them to reincarnate, instead of going through the trouble of constructing the Demon Suppression Tower to imprison them?"

"What, do you actually want to visit the Demon Suppression Tower?"

The Iron Crown Immortal glanced at him, noticing that this disciple was different from before: his actions and methods were distinct, yet what he had done saved tens of millions of the human tribe. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Are you aware of the Blood Devil Sect?"

"I've heard the elder brothers mention it; they say it's the number one branch of the demonic cults."

When Zhou Yi dined with his fellow disciples, he had heard many secrets of the Dongsheng Divine Continent; most were stories of the Heaven Patching Sect's ancestors "saving the world."

Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, the Blood Devil Sect produced an astonishingly talented Demon Head. In just a mere thousand years, he achieved the Return to Void level as an immortal, recruiting master demon practitioners from all over to serve under him, causing the demonic path to prosper.

While the Heaven Patching Sect, Buddhism, and other righteous sects were discussing how to restrain the Blood Devil Child, turmoil arose within the demonic cult itself.

The Blood Devil Child gathered the top echelons and performed a Blood Sacrifice on them all, refining three thousand Blood God Children. Then, he slaughtered all the disciples of the Blood Devil Sect, merging the blood and souls of countless living beings into a vast blood sea.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but lament; the tradition of slaughtering one's own sect ran deep in the demonic path.

"The Blood Devil Child was unrivaled in the Dongsheng Divine Continent; he sought to cause a catastrophe and use an infinite number of living beings in a Blood Sacrifice to aid his ascent."

The Iron Crown Immortal said, "Our sect's ancestors, gravely injured, worked hand in hand with Buddhist Arhats to suppress the Blood Devil Child. However, the Blood Devil Child turned into a sea of blood, which ordinary methods could not destroy, so he had to be locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower to wait until he exhausted his lifespan."

"Those demons are the expendables for the Two Realms Ten Directions Demon Extermination Great Array!"

"I see."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi felt even more apprehensive about approaching the Demon Suppression Tower, where a Blood Devil impossible to kill even by those at the Return to Void level was imprisoned. He asked, "Is the Blood Devil Child, who lived ten thousand years ago, still alive?"

"As long as the blood sea does not dry up, the Blood Devil does not die."

The Iron Crown Immortal shook his head, "Ordinary individuals at Return to Void would exhaust every method to extend their life, but the extreme limit is merely eight or nine thousand years. This Demon Head has bizarre divine skills; living for another ten thousand years wouldn't be difficult for him!"

"Thank you for explaining, Master!"

Zhou Yi bowed respectfully, realizing he had underestimated those at the Return to Void level. Beings a step away from ascension had divine skills far beyond what a Nascent Soul could fathom.

The Iron Crown Immortal said, "You can also inform the Severing Heaven Sect about this. Those old demons have long coveted the divine skills of the Blood God Children and the blood sea."

Zhou Yi expressed his concern, "If the Heaven Severing Demons release the Blood Devil Child, wouldn't that cause a great calamity?"

"The Demon Suppression Tower is not an object of the Mortal World; the Demon Extermination Great Array is not a restriction of the Mortal World."

The Iron Crown Immortal declared, "If any of those old immortals truly think of probing, let them enter the tower to converse with the Blood Devil Child – they won't be able to escape until their bodies perish and their paths are extinguished!"

"I understand now, Master."

Zhou Yi harbored doubts as he was expelled from the mountain, now covertly involved with the Severing Heaven Sect. He questioned, "Master, please be clear with me, what's really going on? Is it because the sect leader did not share the incense offerings with you?"

A true celestial immortal would naturally not be concerned with a few Wish Power Beads. While the sect leader might not accept them, Zhou Yi was obliged to offer them!

If you don't offer, how would you know if the leader wouldn't want them?

"Cough cough cough!"

The Iron Crown Immortal heard this and coughed violently due to anger; a three-foot golden whip appeared in his hand, glinting with spiritual light, ready to discipline this shameless disciple.

"Junior brother, there's no need to be so impatient."

A voice approached, and soon beside the Iron Crown Immortal, a purple-robed Daoist appeared, holding a yin-yang fan of two colors, fluttering it like a refined and cultured scholar.

Zhou Yi immediately bowed, "Greetings to the Sect Leader!"

"I've long heard my junior brother has taken an intriguing person as a disciple. Seeing you today indeed proves interesting. In just a few decades you've stirred up the entire Heavenly Mountain."

The person was the Heaven Patching Sect Leader, Guang Weizi, who wore a warm and courteous demeanor, and said with a smile, "I've heard that among the third-generation disciples in the sect, all respect you as the leader. You even have the nickname 'Timely Rain,' and also call yourself the 'Congratulatory Daoist Lord!'"

Zhou Yi's mind raced as he struggled to concoct plausible excuses.

Guang Weizi seemed amicable and approachable. However, he was earlier known by the nickname 'smiling face with a cold heart,' as many demons and spirits suffered in his clutches, unable to live or die.

There's never a wrong nickname in the world. One moment it's all smiles, the next, Guang Weizi might be sending Zhou Yi off to the Demon Suppression Tower.

"What 'Timely Rain,' what 'Congratulatory Daoist Lord'? These are just the kind passings of fellow disciples..."

Zhou Yi reorganized his words, explaining, "What I've done is not just to take control of mountains and rivers, nor for a few Wish Power Beads, but also for the countless people of the Dongsheng Divine Continent!"

Guang Weizi's lips curled into a smile, "Do tell."

"I was once a Loose Cultivator, traveling all around, and I've seen many self-proclaimed Mountain Gods and River Lords who are actually disguised demons and spirits."

Zhou Yi continued, "In pursuit of incense offerings and wish power, these demons and spirits cause natural disasters and calamities, forcing people to worship them. Although protected by gods, the people end up with shattered families and a dwindling population..."

Guang Weizi nodded slightly; such matters were not uncommon in the Dongsheng Divine Continent.

"My heart couldn't bear it, and I swore that once I had the power, I would slay demons and spirits, enshrine kind deities, and ensure the common folk could live peacefully!"
