Chapter 319 - Fiend Demon
Su Zimo was still attempting to break through his third spirit meridian. On the square, the competition for the Elixir Ranking came right on the heels of the competition for the Talisman Ranking.
This time, Ethereal Peak did not send any disciples but Su Xiaoning of Azure Frost Sect was taking part.
Initially, Su Xiaoning’s elixir refinement skills were not enough for her to leave a name on the Elixir Ranking.
However, ever since she obtained that mysterious Elixir Furnace, Su Xiaoning would become extremely focused with every elixir refinement and could reach her peak condition.
During the sect competition this time, Su Xiaoning managed to refine a perfect-grade elixir once again and clinched the first spot on the Elixir Ranking in a shocking fashion!
With the end of the competition for the Elixir Ranking, it meant that three ranking lists were done.
Thirty cultivators who were qualified to enter the ancient battlefield were already chosen.
Naturally, the most watched event of the sect competition was still the Spirit Ranking contest.
The emperor frowned slightly and checked with his spirit consciousness – that person should undoubtedly be a Nascent Soul.
However, for some reason, he felt that something was amiss, as though there was something strange about that person.
Turning his head, the emperor looked towards Perfected Lord Ming Ze.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze shook his head as well.
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in the emperor’s mind. “That’s a fiend demon! His true form is a crow on Black Crow Mountain!”
Gu Xi, the chief steward of Sky Treasure Auction House, had sent a voice transmission to the emperor using her spirit consciousness!
That was a technique that only Nascent Souls could use and only those involved in the voice transmission could hear it.
At the mention of ‘fiend demon’, the emperor’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
Demons that did not have sentience were called wild beasts.
Demons who had gained sentience and knew how to cultivate with strength equivalent to Qi Refinement Warriors were called spirit beasts.
If they had strength equivalent to Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Golden Cores, they were called spirit demons.
If they had strength greater than Golden Cores, at the Nascent Soul or even Void Reversion realm, they were called fiend demons!
Once a demon forms a demonic core, they could alter their bone structures and take on human form.
However, even if Golden Cores were to take on human form, they could not conceal the demonic qi from their bodies and any cultivator would be able to recognize them.
It was only when a demon cultivated Yin Spirit – similar to a cultivator’s Nascent Soul – that they could mobilize their spirit consciousness and wield Dharmic powers to conceal their demonic qi!
Such demons would be able to take on human form and live among humans and even cultivators without being revealed at all.
Unless one had unique Dharmic weapons or secret skills, cultivators of the same level would not be able to detect them at all!
Cultivators referred to such demons as fiend demons.
