Chapter 368 Innate Demonic Embryo (Conclusion)

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Early February, the 54th year of Elder Wang Yu's life.

In the desolate and deserted ancient city, a transformation came to a quiet end.

A temporary underground cave.

The life-sized black cocoon turned grayish-white and dull, as if it had lost all its vitality, until a certain moment, a section of white jade-like arm was covered with black runes.

He forcefully pierced the large cocoon, tearing open the cocoon wall with both hands, and a boy who looked only three or four years old walked out, his face full of surprise.

This little boy is Wang Yu.

He looked at his body with considerable disbelief.

"How did it really become an embryo... Three years of transformation, starting to grow a body all over again from scratch?"

This transformation is what is known as returning to one's innate nature after birth.

Surprisingly, after the cocoon is formed, the physical body melts into a container and nutrients to nourish the new body, truly starting to develop anew from the embryonic stage.

It's been redesigned to look realistic.

The magic power and golden core are still there, as is the body refinement cultivation. In fact, it has been actively condensed, and the upper limit of the peak of the third-order body refinement has increased by 80% again.

It leaves ample room for improvement.

This means that he can continue to strengthen his physical body, breaking limits time and time again, and has already surpassed the original version by an unknown amount.

In the blink of an eye, the three-foot snow and the Earth Demon Mask, which had fallen off due to their excessive size, were shrunk to the same size as the new body and put back on.

An ice mirror appeared before Wang Yu.

The small figure reflected in the mirror was indeed him. His cultivation level had also improved slightly without him realizing it, and his maximum mana had reached five thousand units.

I'm very close to the peak of the eighth level of Core Formation.

After careful observation.

Wang Yu discovered that his lifeless white hair had returned to its jet-black color, and the strange incantations covering his body could greatly enhance the power of demonic techniques, secret arts, and supernatural abilities.

Looking inward, the original Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo had disappeared.

Along with his Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Roots, they were all integrated into the blue-black golden elixir enshrined in the center of his Qi Sea, giving the golden elixir five-colored patterns.

What's going on here?

He seriously doubted that when he formed his Nascent Soul, a demonic embryo might emerge... Calling a demonic Nascent Soul a demonic embryo didn't seem so inappropriate after all.

Wang Yu's thoughts were in a jumble, mainly because he had never imagined that he would suddenly become the size of a three-year-old, and he was very unaccustomed to it.

but.

On the other hand, wouldn't that mean no one would recognize him?

While Wang Yu was pondering, he put away the Three-Foot Snow and the Earth Demon Mask, and changed into an ordinary robe that automatically adapted to his body size.

Only then did I begin to perceive deeper changes.

First, there's the speed of cultivation.

Since the completion of the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture" technique, the cultivation efficiency of dual slots is "15 strands/day".

Now that the innate demonic fetus has been successfully condensed, the efficiency has greatly increased to "100 strands/day", and the cultivation speed of the main body has also increased from "4 strands/day" to "20 strands/day".

This is because he couldn't dedicate all his time to accumulating magical power.

At this rate, it would only take 833 days to break through to the ninth level of Core Formation, which is just over two years, much faster than the previous decades.

Even if one cultivates to the peak of the ninth level of Core Formation, it will only take ten years. Combined, the two will take twelve years to reach the peak of Core Formation.

It can only be said that he truly deserves to have the aptitude of a spirit.

Suddenly, he entered the fast lane. Compared to the lifespan of eight hundred years for Core Formation cultivators, this cultivation speed can only be described as terrifying.

If you add matching cultivation pills, it will only be faster.

Wang Yu suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Aside from the essential element of freezing demonic energy for condensing a nascent soul, he still had doubts about the opportunity for body tempering and nascent soul formation mentioned by the Blood Axe Demon Lord, but he still wanted to take a look.

Then there's the mysterious underground palace of Xuan Gu Mountain in Fengzhou.

Then there's the issue of cultivation techniques. The techniques he possesses are all top-tier third-order inheritances, which can only support his cultivation up to the early Nascent Soul stage.

The Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture is alright. After it is perfected, it has already entered the deduction process on its own. It will take eighty years to advance, and the number of slots can be reduced by about one-third.

The innate demonic fetus not only endowed Wang Yu with spiritual-level aptitude, but also greatly enhanced his comprehension of demonic cultivation techniques, requiring a redesign of his inventory.

We also need to consider the derivation and advancement after the "Demon Embryo Mystic Origin Secret Incantation".

Is it possible to further improve the qualifications?

Based on experience, one must devour other spirits in order to continue ascending. Considering that the Blood Demon Body is a "spirit" created later in life, he felt it was necessary to continue placing it.

The progress bar is already four-fifths complete. The single item bar will probably only be used for another seven or eight years, so there's no need to put it aside.

Therefore, after some consideration...

The techniques for the first two camera positions remain unchanged.

The third secret spell for the demonic fetus.

[Placement Slot 4: Blood Slaughter Heart Sword (Tier 4/Divine Power/Mind)]

This is the inheritance obtained from the Blood Slaughter Stone Tablet, and it's perfect time to place it here.

[Placement Slot 5: The Twelve Phases of the Moon Palace (Innate Divine Power/Minor Success/Tier 3)]

This supernatural ability has been around for quite some time, and it's not far from being fully mastered. In fact, it's almost ready for a major advancement in supernatural abilities. He has invested quite a few ice-attribute rare and precious materials into it.

[Placement slot 6: Aurora Escape Technique (Divine Power/Minor Success/Tier 3)]

[Placement Slot 7: Moonfall Pupil Technique (Pupil Technique/Minor Success/Tier 3)]

Of these two disciplines, the former can definitely be mastered within ten years, while the latter will take a little longer, but can still be perfected within thirty years.

Aside from the Ice Soul Divine Light and the Ten Directions Freezing Demon Fist, these are basically all the techniques Wang Yu needs to practice. He's not in a rush to learn the Corpse Demon Secret Technique; he plans to put it aside after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, which will be much faster that way.

The same applies to the Cold Dragon Alchemy Technique. It only needs one-third of the progress bar to reach the fourth level. Right now, his alchemy skills are sufficient, so he is not in a hurry to improve.

After some sorting out.

With the placement issue temporarily settled, the next route became more interesting. Wang Yu planned to first explore the underground palace of Xuan Gu Mountain.

He then headed to Fengzhou Prefecture. He needed maps of the Endless Ice Plains and Fengzhou, and only the prefecture city could provide them. He also wanted to find out what the opportunity location given by Blood Axe was all about.

See if any locals have relevant information.

Finally, he ventured deep into the endless ice plains to the vicinity of the ancient demon [Frozen]'s sealed location. This journey was both a search for a place of extreme cold to cultivate and his path to forming his Nascent Soul.

Patting his cheeks, Wang Yu put away all the battle flags.

After cleaning up the shed cocoon, it finally emerged from the ground and saw the light of day again!

The divine sense continued scanning as usual.

Seeing that everything in the desolate city was as usual, Wang Yu was finally relieved.

It seems that no one noticed anything unusual when he was in seclusion undergoing his transformation, and three years have passed without any change, which proves that even the Nine Evil Sword Lord could not find his whereabouts.

only.

Those cultivators from Cold Blood Peak who are confident in forming their Nascent Soul stage will almost always venture into the ancient demon seal site within the Endless Ice Plains, to see if the enemy might be lying in wait there.

He didn't know.

This requires extra caution.

Wang Yu treated Yu Laodeng's trading hub in the desolate city as if he had never been there, and the ancient teleportation array there was only one-way and had no further value.

And so, it flew silently into the clouds high in the sky.

They fled towards Xuan Gu Mountain.

The Aurora Escape Technique is not only incredibly fast, but also possesses a mesmerizing quality. This time, it will be a purple aurora, completely different from the dazzling colors he usually uses.

Except for the fact that the aura of the soul remained unchanged.

After being transformed into a demonic fetus, Wang Yu was almost completely reborn. Few people in the sect would recognize him, let alone in the desolate Fengzhou.

Several days later.

Wang Yu flew directly from the western border of Qiongzhou into Fengzhou.

Calculating the years, he is 148 years old this year. The last time he came to Xuan Gu Mountain was nearly a hundred years ago. Looking back, it seems like only two months have passed.

Time flies, and it's hard not to feel a sense of nostalgia.

Fengzhou is considered a cultivation wasteland in the Crimson Kite Demon Realm. Due to the natural scarcity of spiritual veins, no great cultivators are willing to gather spiritual veins here to develop.

Even the Fengzhou Prefecture, established by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, is governed by a council composed of several Core Formation Peak cultivators. Compared to the fertile land of Yunling Prefecture, it is far inferior.

Yunling Prefecture has a number of Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there, and Yeqiong Prefecture, being bordered by the Northern Broken Realm Mountains to the west and the Chaotic Ancient Sea to the east, is rich in resources, with a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators residing in its prefectural city.

Fengzhou is like an abandoned land. Among the cultivators who are active normally, those who reach the Core Formation stage are at the top level, and there are more Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Nascent Soul cultivators are extremely rare, almost never seen.

Among the resource sites with names and locations, Xuan Gu Mountain is one, and there are also places such as Bei Feng Ling Zhu Field, Xuan Tian Secret Realm, and Hong Feng Mountain Range.

The most precious place is the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, which produces Core Formation spiritual items and attracts Foundation Establishment cultivators the most. Fengzhou Prefecture City was also built nearby.

Xuan Gu Mountain is located in a remote and desolate place, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is uninhabited for thousands of miles. Wang Yu has personally experienced this.

Besides these.

Fengzhou is also a breeding ground for rogue cultivators and bandits. Its vast land and sparse population make it ideal for these rogue cultivators to hide. They can find a secluded spot in the mountains and, if they can erase their traces well, they are really hard to find.

Over time, this affected not only the four states under the jurisdiction of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.

Those who have broken taboos or offended important figures from Huangquan Temple, Liantian Demon Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Mingshan Sect will hide in Fengzhou.

What attracted them was the lack of Nascent Soul cultivators here.

Over time.

Fengzhou is precisely the place where the traditional culture of Chiyuan was most flourishing a thousand years ago, and every inch of this land has been stained with blood.

When they came a hundred years ago, they came and went in great heights.

After practicing meditation and sleeping, Wang Yu arrived at his destination. This time, with his body flying and his feet firmly planted on the ground, he truly felt the baptism of traditional culture.

On this day, on the way to Xuan Gu Mountain.

Encountering a mountain peak shrouded in spiritual light, Wang Yu curiously landed and found a spiritual spring near the summit, with three spiritual plants bearing red fruit growing beside it.

He recognized it at a glance.

"Marrow Cleansing Fruit?"

This is an extremely rare spiritual plant among second-tier spiritual fruits, more suitable for use by children of large clans to build a foundation, and can gently strengthen the body and meridians.

They can begin formal spiritual cultivation as early as around eight years old.

"The little one has good taste, but where are your parents?"

Wang Yu turned his head to look.

There was a barefoot old Taoist priest lying on his side on a rock, with a sizzling, oily roasted beast thigh in his mouth. His face was covered in oil from eating, and his cultivation level was around the sixth level of the Core Formation stage.

Upon hearing this, he laughed first.

The child's innocent voice contrasted sharply with the words he spoke.

"Little baby?"

"Get down. I don't like talking to people with my head tilted back."

He's had enough of being a lackey in the sect, why would he come to Fengzhou and act like one again? Wouldn't that be a wasted trip?

The old man listened in a daze, then his figure flashed.

It appeared in front of him in an instant, its oily hand carrying sinister magic, reaching towards his head, its eyes full of malice.

"You impolite little fellow, I'm in dire need of someone to warm my feet..."

Pfft~

As his hand reached halfway out, a pale white flaming slender sword suddenly appeared. As it slashed upwards, two swords of killing intent shot out from Wang Yu's eyes.

The severed hand fell to the ground at the elbow.

The old man also knelt on the ground with a thud, suffering a mental attack from the killing intent sword, his consciousness becoming blurred.

As the saying goes.

It is especially important to avoid elderly people, children, and women traveling alone.

The old man deliberately used the Marrow Cleansing Fruit to fish here, but he never expected to catch a monster like Wang Yu. Let alone a sixth-level Core Formation cultivator, even a peak Core Formation cultivator would be no match.

Before his icy dragon flames, they were but ants.

As is widely known.

There are only three realms in cultivation: Senior, Fellow Daoist, and Ant!

In this Fengzhou region, Wang Yu is a senior figure, and no one can influence him.

As the old man regained some consciousness, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Senior, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. This is all I have, and I'm willing to offer it to you, but please spare my life!"

It must be said that his reaction was very quick.

"Foolish, you took it from me..."

Just as Wang Yu was about to deliver his classic line and enjoy himself, another uninvited guest arrived in the mountains.

"Huh, a Marrow Cleansing Fruit? This is a wonderful treasure!"

Three figures descended from the sky, pointing and gesturing at the Marrow Cleansing Fruit Tree as if no one else was around.

"You...are the Xuan Gu Thieves?"

"Oh, I didn't realize we were already this famous."

The conversation took place between the old man and the three men. Wang Yuguang frowned as soon as he heard the name, raised his hand to signal the old man to be quiet, and asked the three men.

"You've taken over Xuan Gu Mountain?"

"What, you little brat, are you trying to say... that's the territory of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Where did this young master come from? Does he not know what happened to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect three years ago?"

"With such a huge mess, not only Xuan Gu Mountain, but I'm afraid the four states will be in chaos."

"Brother, don't waste words with them, just kill them all."

Wang Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead. He felt that the people of Fengzhou seemed to have a different way of thinking than normal people. With just three Foundation Establishment cultivators, anyone who didn't know better would think they were invincible.

The old man chuckled to himself, realizing he was in for a bad time.

He was naturally quite happy to encounter someone even more unlucky, but unexpectedly Wang Yu suddenly turned to look at him, and the old man immediately understood, even while kneeling.

He also flicked his sleeve and released a tiger-shaped demon soul.

The rolling, eerie wind and ghostly mist terrified the three of them. Feeling the terrifying pressure of the third-tier tiger ghost, they all knelt down on the ground.

His face was paler than a dead man's, and he was trembling uncontrollably.

"Th-that...senior..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yu's patience had run out. He unleashed the Soul-Snatching Evil Boat Curse, which he had cultivated occasionally over the years but had now reached the perfect level.

Countless black paper boats poured out of the black hole behind him.

—Search for the Soul!

When used again at that time, due to the vast difference in their spiritual consciousness, all three people's life memories were open to Wang Yu, and could be seen without any obstruction.

The kneeling old man lowered his head even further, because he felt the immense pressure from the Nascent Soul's divine consciousness, and he inwardly cried out that he had offended the Grand Duke Jupiter.

A moment later.

Wang Yu had a complete grasp of the changes within the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.

"So that's how it is!"

This is the second update. There will be another update tonight, but it will be later.
