Chapter 1324: Chapter 612: Immortal Destiny Life Chart—Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, Dogged by Misfortune
Meanwhile, in the 36th world of the Blood River Sect, Ji Family Town.
This is a small town with a population of over a million.
That’s right, the worlds under the Blood River Sect’s rule have large populations.
After all, for this sect, blood is a resource; blood is everything.
In this way, the larger the population, the more valuable it is.
It is because of this that the forty-nine worlds ruled by the Blood River Sect are densely populated. Even ordinary small towns have populations exceeding a million.
Although the Blood River Sect governs with an iron fist, brutally and cruelly treating all cultivators as materials, they can’t just kill people on a whim.
Killing can happen, but it requires compensation.
Because the beings living within the Blood River Sect’s territory, whether mortal or cultivator, are extremely valuable.
The higher the cultivation, the more valuable they are.
If they are killed, it’s akin to stealing money from the Blood River Sect.
If compensation is not paid, then one can only blame themselves and turn their bodies into compensation.
Fearful of the consequences of having to compensate, many Blood River Sect cultivators dare not casually take action.
Yet even so, the mortals living in Ji Family Town do not lead good lives.
They live at a level where they can’t get enough to eat or wear enough to keep warm, but they won’t starve to death.
Basically, everyone has a sallow complexion and is emaciated.
Ji Xingyao is one of them. He is the son of a groom.
Since childhood, he became an orphan and lived in Ji Family Town, working for the Ji Family, raising horses for this noble family.
Although he shares the surname Ji, he’s a thousand miles away from the main family and cannot gain any benefits.
For over a decade, he’s suffered bullying.
He can’t even practice any cultivation technique.
Even now, he’s just a mere mortal.
"I’m already sixteen, yet I don’t even have a cultivation technique."
"If things continue like this, I’ll be a mortal for the rest of my life."
Ji Xingyao clenched his fists, feeling deeply aggrieved.
Normally, everyone in Ji Family Town can cultivate and obtain ordinary cultivation techniques from the Blood River Sect.
After all, for the Blood River Sect, it’s naturally most beneficial if everyone cultivates.
Because the essence blood of a cultivator is like a great medicine, providing significant benefits.
However, if one is a mortal, their essence blood holds little value.
Even for the Blood River Sect’s interests, everyone needs to cultivate.
Unfortunately, not everyone possesses a Spirit Root.
Even if one can cultivate martial arts to nurture an Acquired Spirit Root, not everyone can achieve this.
Thus there are still quite a few mortals unable to embark on the path of cultivation.
The reason he hasn’t received a cultivation technique isn’t a lack of a spirit root but because he offended someone in the Ji Family, displeasing them and consequently unable to cultivate until now.
"Alas, if I can’t cultivate, then I have to accept my fate. A groom can never rise."
"Born a groom, one remains a groom for a lifetime."
"If one harbors delusions, it will only invite disaster."
"But if the Ji Family were completely finished, perhaps I could have a chance to cultivate."
Ji Xingyao thought helplessly.
However, hoping for the Ji Family to fall is essentially impossible.
Because this family has dominated Ji Family Town for over three thousand years, with ancestors who were Void Refining cultivators.
Dreaming of such a Void Refining family’s downfall is nothing more than wishful thinking.
No one living in this town ever believed the ever-prosperous Ji Family would face unexpected calamity.
Boom~~
At this moment, the entire earth suddenly shook as if a massive earthquake erupted.
Terrifying cracks appeared on the ground, as if splitting the entire town into dozens of pieces.
From the sky, a massive black meteor crashed down heavily onto this small town.
Instantly, the Ji Family mansion was razed to the ground.
The vast majority of Ji Family cultivators perished at that moment, dying without a trace, unable to even struggle.
"How is this possible?"
"Is this a joke? Has the Ji Family just been wiped out, the entire clan perished?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Ji Xingyao was stunned, staring at the scene with wide eyes.
As a groom, he lived near the stables, at some distance from the estate.
Thus, he narrowly escaped this calamity.
The once incomparable Ji Family cultivators became remains, shattered under the black meteor.
But the disaster was not over.
The black meteor seemed to come to life, transforming into a gigantic black lair, resembling a monstrous black beast, devouring everything.
Numerous twisted demon runes appeared on the creature, seemingly etched with a Demon’s Book.
Even a glance would make one feel mentally contaminated.
Thud!
In an instant, its massive mouth opened, unleashing an endless number of terrifying demons.
These demons sensed human presence and began a frenzied hunt.
In just a moment, countless humans were killed, becoming food for the demons.
"It’s over. Demons, these are the fabled demons."
"How could I be this unlucky? Encountering a demon disaster?! Does Heaven want me dead too?!"
Fear consumed Ji Xingyao, causing his entire body to tremble, his face ashen.
Now he had no time for schadenfreude, for if things continued, he too would die at the hands of these demons.
