"Cultivating demonic arts?"
Upon hearing the narration of the Prince of the Flat Sands, Chu Fengmian's eyebrows furrowed.
Demonic arts, in fact, were the unified term for those sinister and evil cultivation techniques within the Nine Domains, most of which were exceedingly malevolent.
Those who cultivated such demonic arts were known for consuming human blood, slaughtering civilians, and committing all kinds of evil deeds.
However, these demonic arts could be cultivated very quickly and were tremendously powerful, which is why some martial artists would take the risk to cultivate them.
Among the Seven Great Sects, the Nine Demons City got its start from cultivating demonic arts, but later on, some powerful individuals within Nine Demons City refined the techniques, and thus they were removed from the list of demonic paths, becoming one of the Seven Great Sects.
Those who practiced these demonic arts were called demons, and they were typically executed swiftly upon discovery.
