Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs

When the Dragon Demon Wu Tianya said this, the Rakshasa Insect Mother and the Fish Demon Priest could no longer contain themselves, their expressions were excited, constantly asking questions.

"Fellow Daoist, please elaborate."

"What is the size of this Abandoned Star Realm? Is there any water source?"

"I only saw damage on the periphery and didn’t dare to venture deeper..."

Watching the Three Demons discussing eagerly, Zhang Kui’s expression remained calm. He sipped Spirit Wine while gazing at the busy Fish Demons outside the window.

This plan had been discussed in advance with Dragon Demon Wu Tianya, and the reaction of the two Demons was expected.

What made him feel emotional was the enthusiasm of the Rakshasa Insect Mother and the Fish Demon Priest for the matter, coupled with their earlier show of posturing, there wasn’t a trace of a strong demeanor.

The Buddhist Family emphasizes breaking through obsessions, while Taoism often speaks of tranquility and non-action, all in pursuit of great freedom. Yet even with surpassing cultivation, everyone finds it difficult, difficult, difficult...

Mere mortals busy themselves with livelihood, suffering in the mundane world,

Cultivators calculate Tao Cultivation, engaging in battles of life and death,

A single move can cause countless worries to arise, especially in this Dark Chaos Cosmos, where no one can escape it.

What can alleviate worry?

Zhang Kui is not sure either.

All he does is try his best, without asking about the East or West, just seeking peace of mind...

...

With the grand plan established, the attitude of the Rakshasa Insect Mother and the Fish Demon Priest towards Zhang Kui changed significantly. They remained respectful and polite but had more sincerity.

Zhang Kui also realized the survival laws of this Dark Cosmos.

The Heavenly Dao is chaotic, countless living beings lurk within it, harboring fear, breeding hostility amongst them, engaging in deadly battles over a disagreement.

The solution, first and foremost, is to be strong.

Strong enough to deter others from harboring evil thoughts rashly.

The second is to identify common interests, rally some, and fight some.

Those to rally are these races wandering the cosmos for various reasons; they generally wish for a stable environment, one for cultivation and the other for species propagation and survival.

And those to fight are the Deceitful Immortals and the Starry Sky Evil Gods.

They are unbound, seeking strength only for themselves, willing to take the entire cosmos down with them, fundamentally opposing Zhang Kui’s principles.

Of course, those who need to be rallied are not limited to just these two Demons...

...

Celestial Loner Star Zone, dim and decrepit.

The magnetic field within the star zone is chaotic, and the blue sunlight is fading.

Only near the Meteorite Sea, the Star Reef is more lively than usual.

Various sizes of Starships docked at the surrounding ports, if one entered the cabins, they would see all kinds of strange and eccentric races.

Occasionally, brilliant lights flashed between Starships, exchanging supplies, and the cultivators and ordinary races living inside bore rare smiles.

The largest hall on the Star Reef is where the leaders of powerful Starships gather, some smiling, some using Divine Thought to exchange information.

"The Red Pigeon Legion is destroyed, I heard that even the Three-Eyed Firebird on the star realm’s periphery started fleeing, going there now might be too late..."

"Someone plans to traverse the cosmos to other star realms, there should be some gains..."

"Might just die halfway!"

In the corner of the hall, the Insect Demon Chonghua had a thoughtful look in its eyes.

In this incident, he gained prominence, reaped considerable benefits, and now had enough capital to consider the future.

Currently, there are two choices, one is cultivation, the other is the race.

His race is fraught with disasters, first, their home was destroyed by a newly formed Star Beast, as a leader, he led the remaining members wandering the cosmos, only to accidentally encounter the Red Pigeon Race, and he barely escaped.

If all resources were used for cultivation, the level of achievement is uncertain, but at least survival prospects would increase.

But if he Reverses Yin and Yang, transforms into the Insect Mother, and uses all Divine Materials to nurture offspring, perhaps he might rekindle the race’s extinguished flame.

But then...

How long can he live?

The Insect Demon was filled with contradictions...

Of course, as the most renowned information and material exchange site nearby, the activities at Star Reef involved more than just these influential figures, something different could be seen in the structures below the hall.

"Why has it risen again?"

A cultivator of the Ancient Race had eyes full of flames, "This is Cave Heaven Divine Crystal! In the past, it would never have been used for barter goods, yet you dare to take advantage and hike the price?!"

"You also know it was in the past!"

Opposite him, a Bear Demon smiled bitterly, "Recently, there have been people buying supplies extensively with Divine Materials, now causing a temporary supply shortage, hence the price surge..."

Looking around, most of the commotion revolved around such topics.

This is an outcome nobody expected.

Following the large-scale hunt for the Three-Eyed Firebird, although many became suddenly wealthy, it led to a significant increase in ordinary supplies’ prices.

It’s notable that inside many Starships still reside numerous low-level cultivators and ordinary people, star wandering is arduous, often requiring the purchase of large quantities of fresh water, food, Pills... with varying needs across different races.

Some forces need not worry about such matters, like the Fish Demon Priest. The Star Whale itself is a Little World, but most are not part of this exception.

At that moment, several small Starships crossed the cosmos, approached the port, and over ten figures instantly teleported into various halls. Bronze armor, black scales, sharp fangs, each with a Qi Mechanism as deep as the sea, it was the Dark Star Demon Fish race.

Many people quieted down, staring at these powerful races.

Last time they came, spreading the Yin Yang True Fire, many benefited. This time, with an even greater momentum, what are they up to?

"To announce three matters."

In the upper hall, the general of the Dark Star Demon Fish Race stared at the many experts, speaking in a low voice: "The first matter is that our race and the Rakshasa Insect Race officially become allies in the Celestial Essence Star Zone, advancing and retreating together henceforth."

Upon hearing this, many people’s expressions changed drastically.

These two races are the largest powers nearby, and the mysterious Celestial Essence Star Zone, although only one master of the Yin Yang True Fire has appeared, the massive explosion that obliterated the entire Red Pigeon Legion still instills fear in everyone.

What does the emergence of an even stronger power mean?

Enslavement and plunder!

Many realized this, and the atmosphere at the scene became oppressive.

The Fish Demon General didn’t mind, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "The second matter is that Sect Leader Zhang of the Celestial Essence Star Zone has decided to establish the Immortal Path Alliance. Everyone can join, and while receiving its protection, they must also bear corresponding obligations."

It has indeed come!

Several starship captains glanced at each other, their hearts growing cold.

They originally thought there might be some monopolization of resource trades, but unexpectedly, these guys were even more ruthless, intending to devour them whole.

"As for the third matter..."

The Fish Demon General looked at everyone, "The first task of the Immortal Path Alliance is to clear the Deceitful Immortal Influence in the Celestial Capital Star Zone and the Dark God followers in the Celestial Splendor Star Zone."

"As for the seized Life Stars, they will become public zones of the Immortal Path Alliance. Any member can enter at will, to recuperate and grow, advancing and retreating together."

"What?!"

These words immediately caused an uproar.

"Are these words true?"

"What if you go back on your word?"

"What do you actually mean?"

It’s not surprising they are tense, because this matter is too important.

Why do so many people wander the starry space?

Why are the prices of supply materials skyrocketing?

Simply because, although vast, the Star Realm doesn’t have many Life Stars capable of nurturing all things, not to mention the ancient war, the Underworld’s eerie intrusion, the Evil God’s plotting for Reincarnation, all of which have made them increasingly scarce.

Not every force dares to dream of the Star Realm. Re-entering a Life Star is the wish of many wandering races.

But just as the Fish Demon General said, even if they get one, they can’t hold it.

Leaving aside the covetous eyes of the Starry Sky Evil God and the Underworld’s eerie beings, even these people often turn into Star Thieves to snatch what they can, since there’s simply no opportunity.

If now a strong power is willing to seize it as a public zone, even if just for a mere decade, it could allow many weary races on the brink of collapse to recuperate and plant Spirit Medicine.

"Of course it’s true, this is the original intention of the Immortal Path Alliance."

The Fish Demon General spoke as he scattered dozens of Ink Jade Crystal Plates, on which various agreements of the Immortal Path Alliance were recorded.

"I join!"

Insect Demon Chonghua quickly glanced over and was the first to respond.

Some terms were harsh, but most were punishments for betrayers. With this guarantee, he could confidently and boldly proliferate his race.

"Count me in as well!"

"It’s worth a gamble. I hope you’ll honor the agreement..."

More and more people made up their minds, and the atmosphere became increasingly heated.

The Fish Demon General looked at the enthusiastic participation of the various racial forces below, his expression very calm, instructing his subordinates to explain.

He certainly knew what these people needed,

And even every person knew what they needed.

What they lacked was merely an opportunity and a person.

And that person has already appeared...

...

The news of the founding of the Immortal Path Alliance spread with unprecedented speed. After the hunt of the Red Pigeon Race, the starry sky was once again stirred.

The more astute forces realized the enormous storm and opportunity within and chose to join with little hesitation, while those smaller forces without any guarantees were even more eager.

Of course, there were also those with concerns, but seeing others around them already joining, they dared not miss the chance.

After all, if it fails, they can withdraw, but if it succeeds, the future will be vastly different!

Outside the Celestial Essence Star Zone, more and more starships began to converge.

The Dragon Demon, Wu Tianya, and the others discussed with leaders of various large and small forces daily, busy yet in high spirits, articulating the purpose of the Immortal Path Alliance, finally dispelling many people’s concerns.

However, what puzzled everyone was that the initiator and leader of the Immortal Path Alliance, the Sect Leader Zhang of the Celestial Essence Star Zone, never appeared, making him even more mysterious.

Zhang Kui, of course, knew about the external situation, but he didn’t pay much attention.

He initially just wanted to gain experience, but first the Dragon Demon and Wu Tianya brought out the Abandoned Star Realm Map, followed by the push from the Rakshasa Insect Mother and the Fish Demon Priest, leading to the current situation.

Often it seems that events that influence history are like this, without much planning and conspiracy, just due to the circumstances and pushed by destiny.

Zhang Kui was happy to see this outcome and chose not to comment.

After all, this is a very loose alliance, whether it can withstand the test of time and people’s hearts is still uncertain.

Under such circumstances, a massive starship army advanced towards the Celestial Capital Star Zone. The procession was chaotic, with all sorts of starships, some of which were long dilapidated and had undergone many repairs.

Speaking of which, it was the same team, except last time it was driven by Zhang Kui’s manipulation of their greed, and this time, united by a common vision for survival...
