Chapter 539 Master Longchan and Venerable Demon Heart's Creative Achievements
The four wandering travelers immediately turned wary.
Looking at Wang Yu, this guy who suddenly appeared, the group was extremely surprised, because their spiritual senses had not given any feedback before he spoke.
This implies two possibilities: either the opponent is far stronger than them, or they possess extremely sophisticated concealment techniques.
Thoughts raced through my mind.
The strongest of the four wanderers, a cultivator who had reached the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, took the initiative to speak cautiously.
“This… senior, may I ask how to address you? I am Qiu Mi, and these three are my junior brothers Qiu Jue, Qiu Kong, and Qiu Jing.”
"oh?"
Wang Yu made no attempt to conceal his identity and directly stated, "I am Wang Yu, a cultivator from the Crimson Kite Sect. Are you young friends from the Heavenly Sea Ancient Sect?"
"Exactly."
Upon hearing that Wang Yu came from Chi Yuan, the group's vigilance immediately increased several times over. In their Chaotic Ancient Sea cultivation world, there was a common understanding about demonic cultivators from Chi Yuan.
That is, this group of people are willing to risk their lives for profit, even if the chance of success is only one in ten.
They're a pretty crazy bunch.
When Qiu Mi thought of the task given to him by Master Long Chan, he dared not reveal his true purpose. However, his forward-leaning posture and his act of using his body to block the entrance to a certain ruin behind him looked quite ridiculous.
In the eyes of a seasoned expert like Wang Yu, this subconscious reaction completely exposed their true intentions.
While pondering.
Wang Yu smiled.
"The Tianhai Ancient Sect is a secluded paradise-like power. I have often heard of it in Chiyuan. Coincidentally, I was planning to visit it recently and have a discussion with your sect leader."
"Before that, could you please step aside? There are some relics left behind by my sect here. Please do not prevent me from taking them back."
The sect leader of the Tianhai Ancient Sect is known by the Dharma name "Dragon Coil Venerable". He is a very old senior with a strength of about the third level of the Nascent Soul stage. He is also the strongest person in the sect who is openly revealed.
However, after Wang Yu left the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, he obtained a top-tier intelligence report from the Blood Demon Palace Master, which contained information about the Nascent Soul stage experts in the Ice Prison Realm.
Having entered the circle of top experts, one must naturally keep up with this kind of understanding. The Nascent Soul experts in the entire Ice Prison Realm are basically concentrated in the Sword Sect and the Refining Heaven Demon Sect.
The number of Nascent Soul cultivators in other places is no more than a handful, and this is only because three Nascent Soul cultivators, Huang Quan, Xue Mo, and Wang Yu, have emerged in recent years.
Otherwise, the number should only be a handful.
They are extremely rare, truly at the top of the food chain.
Therefore.
Wang Yu knew very well that the Tianhai Ancient Sect also had a Venerable Master Long Chan, whose strength was probably at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage. He had once clashed with Chi Yuan over the idea of exterminating demons.
After suffering a great loss at the Refining Heaven Demon Sect, he never went to the Crimson Kite Demon Realm again, as it was an existence that was inherently incompatible with demonic cultivators.
This made Wang Yu intend to fight.
He himself was unaware of the limits of his combat power. After transforming into an ice phoenix, he was able to reach even greater heights. With the blessing of his true spirit bloodline specializing in the way of frost, he was like an amplifier.
This would cause his base stats to surge, and the various supernatural abilities and secret techniques he could unleash would become even more powerful. He was not averse to magical combat.
As long as we can achieve our goal, it's fine to fight for several years.
This confidence did not make Wang Yu's personality more arrogant. The situation overseas was different from that in Chiyuan; there were too many unknowns and dangers hidden there.
Even he is not invincible.
Furthermore, considering the commonality of Buddhist lineages, even if the other party is hostile to demonic cultivators, there is a possibility of turning enemies into friends. After reaching a certain level, the path of cultivation is no longer important.
Everyone's concerned with their own interests, so who would still engage in factional discrimination?
Therefore, Wang Yu's statement was already quite polite. If it were in Chiyuan, the slow-moving ones would have already become fertilizer in the soil.
It nourishes the earth, allowing more tenacious weeds to grow.
After listening to Wang Yu's explanation.
Qiu Mi's expression was clearly displeased, but he knew that the other party's strength was unfathomable and dared not offend him. He could only try to use the power behind him to make Wang Yu give up.
After organizing his thoughts, Qiu Mi said.
"Senior, to be honest, my fellow disciples and I also came here with a mission from our sect. If we fail to achieve our goal, it will be difficult to explain to the sect."
"Moreover, this place is the ruins of the Netherworld. Even the Netherworld Mountain Sect has abandoned the development of this secret realm. How can you be sure that this is a remnant of your sect?"
Wang Yu was taken aback, then his expression turned cold.
He hadn't expected the people of the Tianhai Ancient Sect to be so tough. Was it because there was no force overseas that could rival them, which was why their disciples had developed this kind of character and habit?
The oppressive aura belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator began to spread.
He said.
“Young man, I’m explaining to you not so you can use it to retaliate. If you leave here… you can still live.”
His demonic nature was clearly revealed.
Qiu Mi and the others were immediately on high alert, especially when they sensed the terrifying pressure that was exactly the same as that of Master Long Chan. He immediately realized that the person in front of him was at the same level as Master Long Chan.
Upon realizing his mistake, Qiu Mi immediately lowered his head.
"It was Qiu Mi who misspoke. Please make yourself at home, senior. We will leave now."
He squinted, watching the four wanderers depart.
Wang Yu quietly relaxed the hand he had raised behind his back. Considering that he needed the inheritance of the Tianhai Ancient Sect to perfect his own path, it was better not to add any more hostility.
certainly.
If he finds that friendly means cannot achieve his goal, Wang Yu will let these sea cultivators see just how powerful the "Bloody Hand Butcher" who is famous throughout the two regions is.
With a flick of his sleeve, a torrent of frozen demonic energy erupted forth.
After clearing the space in the ruins in an instant and successfully entering the last suspected target, Wang Yu's divine sense quickly detected the problem.
This should be a secluded meditation room.
Many cultivators have this habit to ensure that no one can disturb their cultivation. Since the array and restrictions have been damaged, the entire meditation room is now fully exposed.
There are many remaining traces of cultivation on the surrounding walls.
And the remnants of certain insights and deductions made during seclusion, just like the murderous intent stone tablet he discovered back then, such cultivation places that retain traces of power are of great value.
After he gleaned information about the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo Secret Technique from it, he became even more delighted.
"The Demon Heart Venerable's former cultivation chamber..."
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
When he came to his senses from reading, he had a more detailed outline and plan for the advancement of the innate demonic body, just as he had thought.
After achieving the Divine Transformation, the Demon Heart Venerable also realized the limitations of the innate demonic embryo body. The Heavenly Demon Transformation seemed to have no taboos and could steal the bloodline of any living being.
Disguise and mimicry are just the simplest applications.
Its true power lies in its ability to learn the bloodline talents of other races and even expand the derivative applications of its own abilities, resulting in a qualitative leap in both combat and growth support.
However, the limitations of the innate demonic fetus body restricted the practical application of the Heavenly Demon Transformation. Naturally, the Demon Heart Venerable was unwilling to accept this and began to further study this secret technique.
Trying to find a way to get promoted.
This secret technique was originally created by imitating extraterrestrial beings like the Heavenly Demons. The key lies in these Heavenly Demons themselves. Venerable Demon Heart's thoughts are similar to Wang Yu's.
They all wanted to capture a living demon for research.
The Devouring Power of the Demon Embryo Secret Technique relies on the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demons as its core. This power is ineffective against the Heavenly Demons because they themselves are the greatest evil beings.
Therefore, the method of devouring is invalid.
After this approach was tested by the Demon Heart Venerable, it was quickly abandoned, so he chose the second method—the [breeding method]!
He used his own evil thoughts as nourishment to raise a nascent demon, and used a modified version of the Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique to fundamentally change the nature of the nascent demon.
He imitated the process of refining a second Nascent Soul, attempting to create a 100% compatible Heavenly Demon Nascent Soul Devouring Body for himself, with the ultimate goal of devouring the other party to complete his physical advancement.
Just like the development from a juvenile to an adult individual.
The growth of a nascent Heavenly Demon is remarkably similar to the process of a Nascent Soul transforming into a Divine Being; both involve growth in an instant. The goal of the nurturing method is to raise them to maturity.
As for why they didn't just capture the adult Heavenly Demons directly.
It's impossible for the Demon Heart Venerable to do without mentioning that capturing the Heavenly Demon Child alone took him a great deal of effort and time, and on the other hand, it involves the issue of compatibility.
Don't forget that the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo Secret Technique initially requires a bloodline for the individual it devours; the closer the connection with one's own bloodline, the better the effect.
For some reason, perhaps because he cultivated using the placement slot, Wang Yu perfectly perfected it, so that after the first target was devoured, subsequent individuals he devoured no longer had bloodline requirements.
It was as if he had truly possessed the physique of a celestial demon infant.
It resembled a humanoid demon.
In fact, Wang Yu suspected that this was not only related to the perfect cultivation results of the placement column, but also to his soul, which was essentially not of this world.
The Heavenly Demon is a being of emotions.
It is an aggregate formed by the soul, the seven emotions and six desires, and the evil thoughts of all living beings. Therefore, it has great malice towards living beings, and its existence is to bring calamity to all living beings.
The existence of the Heavenly Demon Realm is also shrouded in mystery.
To date, no one has ever discovered a way to enter the Demon Realm. This fundamental difference may be the reason for his unusual behavior.
Let's get back to the main topic.
The Demon Heart Venerable believed that the key to the matter lay in helping the nascent demon body perfectly transform into a mature form, but the improved version of the Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique alone was not enough to completely control the opponent.
Therefore, he spent a large sum of money to exchange for a top-level external avatar technique called [Blood Bone Avatar] from another Nascent Soul cultivator.
He used half of his body's blood and bones to cultivate the larva of the Heavenly Demon into a physical form.
He then switched to a combined attack technique, allowing his demonic energy to adapt to this body ahead of time. His research then ceased, based on the information Wang Yu had gathered.
Most of the Demon Heart Venerable's attempts failed.
Later records indicate that he completely disappeared from the world without any trace, suggesting that something unexpected must have happened during his physical advancement.
This secluded, quiet room is the scene of the crime.
"It's most likely that it was devoured by the Heavenly Demon..."
Muttering to himself, Wang Yu felt that the Demon Heart Venerable's deduction route might not be wrong. The key was that he had given the Heavenly Demon, an invisible being, a physical body.
It should be known that the instinct of the Heavenly Demon is to seize the bodies of living beings.
Giving such a being a physical body... I don't know what they were thinking. What's the difference between this and turning on a light in a toilet?
However, if this step is modified, Wang Yu has no idea how to make the nascent demon complete the most crucial transformation, and can only suppress his impatience.
He'll think about it slowly later. Perhaps when he encounters some interesting secret method, inspiration will come naturally. Improving one's physique is not something that can be done overnight; he's waiting for the right time.
The trip to the Ruins of Guiming was quite good.
At least what the Demon Heart Venerable left behind satisfied Wang Yu's needs. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.
He remembered those wandering travelers.
The other party's purpose is unlikely to be the same as his, so they are most likely after some tangible item, rather than the "research notes" he wants.
It's just that the locations happened to be the same.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu spread his divine sense in a ripple-like manner, while also incorporating some of the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon. Soon, an unexpected discovery made him raise an eyebrow.
He quickly walked to the stone futon, and an invisible force field spread out, causing all the stone slabs, including the floor, to crumble into dust, revealing the true nature of what was hidden beneath.
A bizarre head, black and transparent like crystal, with a very long back of the head. The facial bones are similar to those of a human, but the mouth is filled with retractable fangs, and the eye sockets are narrower.
All of this means that this thing is not a human skull.
Its overall shape is somewhat like the alien creature that Wang Yu saw in a movie in his previous life.
"eccentric."
This skull is extremely hard; even when Wang Yu tried to squeeze it with his divine power, it did not change at all, demonstrating that its structural stability alone has reached the fifth-order level.
Strangely, all the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon that Wang Yu had just released were absorbed by this thing. Even though the amount absorbed was not large, a layer of something resembling a matte metal film appeared on the surface of his head.
It feels warm to the touch.
This is perhaps the most mysterious item Wang Yu has encountered in the Ice Prison Realm. Even the ancient demons have records of it, but the creature with this kind of head is a bizarre product that Wang Yu has never seen any related records of.
This thing doesn't react to magic at all.
It showed a clear tendency to devour spiritual energy and demonic evil thoughts. After realizing this, Wang Yu used a sealing technique to seal it away and put it into the Sea Heart Ring, intending to study it again when he had time.
Those wanderers from the Tianhai Ancient Sect clearly came for it.
After checking repeatedly and finding no valuable items, Wang Yu flew into the sky and casually fired an ice-blast spear, completely destroying the quiet room.
Just as they were about to leave, a very noticeable fluctuation came from the space.
Wang Yu frowned.
The Lock of Heaven began to spread, instantly sealing off the surrounding space. The fluctuations were clearly suppressed. After a moment of stalemate, a slightly awkward voice came from the void.
“Fellow Daoist, I have no ill intentions… The things you took from the ruins are of great value to our sect. Please allow me to discuss this with you personally.”
Wang Yu's lips curled up; he had met so many cultivators.
This is the first person to refer to himself as "this humble monk," so he must be a Nascent Soul Venerable from the Tianhai Ancient Sect. I didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
This suggests that the origin of that strange head was more important than he had imagined.
"How should I address you, Master?"
