Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 260 - 217: Let the Brothers Suffer; I’ll Bear the Infamy!

After unleashing Dragon Base Divine Power, the cultivator will transform into a pillar supporting the heavens; no matter the direction from which pressure arises, I remain immovable.

As long as the cultivator can maintain a steady breath without succumbing to external pressure, they can utilize the high-pressure environment to continuously solidify the body and exploit its potential.

When Xiong Wei trained in this Body Refining Secret Technique, he merely placed hydraulic machines at his head, chest, back, hands, and feet to reinforce his body.

But after Su Yuan's advice, he suddenly realized the true application of this Body Refining Secret Technique was to bury oneself underground!

Especially when you serve as the foundation for some construction.

Above, you bear the pressure of the entire building; below, you must guard against earthquakes that may strike at any moment.

On all sides, layers of earth continuously press and envelop you.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as you regard yourself as a foundation, Dragon Base Divine Power can perfectly strengthen every corner of your body.

The effects far surpass any body refining manual on the market!

Enlightening!

He gratefully looked towards Su Yuan, and just as he was about to express his thanks, he suddenly thought again.

Isn't this still using oneself as a living pillar?

He cautiously asked:

"Su Yuan, using oneself as a foundation and entering underground provides excellent body-refining effects, but what if one can't withstand the pressure?"

Su Yuan clapped cheerfully and gave Xiong Wei a thumbs up:

"Good question!"

"Actually, from my view, Dragon Base Divine Power is derived from an ancient body-refining Demon Technique."

"Those who cultivate this Demon Technique are forced by sect elders to become living pillars."

"After becoming a living pillar, the cultivators, much like cicada larvae, endure years or even decades of hardship underground before breaking through the soil one day!"

"By then, the cultivators will achieve great success in their Divine Skill, with their physical strength unmatched at the same level!"

Xiong Wei nodded in realization and continued to ask:

"What if they can't persist?"

Su Yuan shrugged:

"If you can't persist, you truly become a living pillar. Do you think the Demon Sect elders really want to nurture you? They'd rather you drown in the soil, serving as a proper foundation."

Xiong Wei: "..."

Well, it does make some sense!

By the looks of it, Dragon Base Divine Power is undoubtedly a Demon Technique.

However, since Xiong Wei has invested in the Primordial Sect, he naturally doesn't feel overly repulsed by cultivating a Demon Technique.

As long as there's no life-threatening danger or side effects.

And with his physique, being a living pillar for an hour or two certainly won't be an issue.

Let's do it!

Perfect opportunity to test the body-refining effects of Dragon Base Divine Power at full power.

A resolute glint flashed in Xiong Wei's eyes, no further persuasion from Su Yuan was needed, as he spontaneously stepped onto the pillar position.

The power within his body resonated continuously from the inside out, pushing the earth layers at his feet sideways.

Gradually, under the astonished gazes of all present, Xiong Wei's body sank bit by bit into the ground, until completely covered by the dense, steel-like earth layers.

Su Yuan lifted his foot, covered the bit of exposed hair with loose earth, and smilingly said:

"We've finished laying our foundation here, shouldn't we start the testing?"

Song Mountain, Lu Da: "..."

Though the Black Labor Sect insists it is utterly unscrupulous.

Fights, stealing business from other construction teams are daily occurrences, but even in their wildest beginnings, they never intended to become living pillars!

Yet Su Yuan managed it effortlessly, without any mental burden at all!

The respect for Su Yuan among all the laborers reached an apex at that moment.

And the subsequent testing phase left no suspense.

Despite Lu Da's flawless foundation with no flaws, solidified beyond measure, its foundation ultimately lacked a soul!

While Xiong Wei's foundation might seem crude, it carried both heart and soul.

He resisted the testing equipment pressing from all directions, even the mighty compaction hammer falling from the sky.

Initially, the foundation might wobble slightly.

Yet, this is a foundation endowed with a soul, Xiong Wei made proactive adjustments to stabilize the entire foundation.

After thorough testing, Xiong Wei's foundation achieved comprehensive victory!

This is one win!

As for the amusing interlude where, after the test, Xiong Wei enjoyed being buried in the ground and unwilling to come out, there's no need to dwell on it.

Next up is Wu Ziying versus Wu Er in the steel rebar assembly showdown.

Thousand Sinews Staff Technique and Dragon Base Divine Power were together classified as Demon Techniques by the petty system, naturally for a reason.

Because the core principle of these techniques lies in using the cultivator's overwhelming vitality to attach spirits to their weapons!

In spirit-attached status, the weapons become extensions of the cultivator's body, allowing the cultivator to wield them with ease, even reshaping their forms effortlessly.

The only flaw in this technique is it's somewhat wasteful of vitality.

As the steel rebar competition commenced, Wu Er employed an extremely intricate method to stack, bend, and weld these rebars into individual steel cages forming the building's framework.

His hand speed was exceedingly fast, nearly reaching the limits of a Qi Cultivation Cultivator.

Yet, even the quickest hand speed dulled before the Thousand Sinews Staff Technique.

Once Wu Ziying activated the staff technique, blood-colored light spread over the rebars from her palm.

The rebars instantly seemed to possess life, automatically assembling with efficiency over double of Wu Er's.

This battle with Wu Ziying's victory was inevitable.

This is two wins.

After the competition concluded, Su Yuan promptly delivered a bowl of duck blood noodle soup to Wu Ziying.

While replenishing her blood, Su Yuan asked Song Mountain:

"Sect Leader Song, Primordial Sect won twice, isn't it time to fulfill the promise?"

Naturally, Song Mountain had no objections.

After all, even without this contest, he intended to surrender.

Yet ultimately, it hinged on his brothers' opinions.

Song Mountain looked toward Lu Da, Wu Er, and the black-faced man with whiskers named Li.

Without waiting for Song Mountain to persuade them, Wu Er already spoke up:

"Brother Song, since we've accepted this wager, we accept the consequences."

"Moreover, our prior reluctance to surrender stemmed from concerns about interference in construction if merged with the Primordial Sect."

"This contest showed that these Second Generation Immortals aren't just overly ambitious."

"A merger between our sects may not be a bad thing."

Wu Er's words gained many laborers' agreement, and Song Mountain secretly sighed in relief.

He turned to Su Yuan and earnestly said:

"Sect Leader Su, we're willing to become an affiliate sect of the Primordial Sect."

"To be frank, while we've developed this far with my protection, it's mainly thanks to paying protection fees to certain high-ups."

"Yet those high-ups pale in comparison to the Primordial Sect's presence."

"I'm willing to redirect these protection fees expected by major figures to the Primordial Sect, in exchange for Sect Leader Su granting us sufficient autonomy and allowing our operations as before."

After hearing, Su Yuan smiled:

"Rest assured, Sect Leader Song, I won't interfere in the Labor Sect's business."

"But once the laborers join the Primordial Sect, they must undergo standardized training and earn official construction worker certifications."

Song Mountain's expression froze:

"That… my brothers mostly come from impoverished backgrounds, with education levels mostly at high school or vocational school; obtaining certifications seems unrealistic for them…"

Su Yuan's smile persisted:

"No worries, I have ways to ensure passing the exams!"

"Just make sure to restrain the labor brothers, prevent them from running away."

"Let me explain, here's the plan…"

Under Su Yuan's persuasion, Song Mountain decisively betrayed the Black Labor Sect, using Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivation to overpower a hundred and seven laborers, forcing them to inhale Hypnotic Sword Qi.

Thus began a brutal and inhuman trustee-style learning training.

Imagining the impact of Song Mountain's betrayal on the laborers is daunting.

But there's no choice! All for the good of the brothers!

As the brothers endure hardships, he'll take the infamy.

Upon effectively absorbing the Black Labor Sect and assuming its operations, the "King of the Underworld" mission finally completed!
