Chapter 668 One Demon Eats Four: Successful Development (4.8k)
With some time remaining before the agreed-upon time with Yue Zhenxiao and the others, Wang Yu made a point of thoroughly inspecting the newly crafted Quasi-Earthly Profound Spirit Treasure, the [Heavenly Demon Diagram], upon its release.
The result was both joyful and sorrowful.
There are reasons why the ancient methods have been phased out. Although they are simple, they consume too many resources and their objectives are not very clear. Modern methods, which are more technically advanced and can accurately target the miraculous effects of spiritual treasures, are naturally more popular.
Nobody wants to spend all their hard-earned resources only to end up with a useless magical treasure, and have to think carefully before exchanging it with someone else.
I don't want to be scammed, nor do I want to suffer a loss.
The natural weapon-refining method developed by Wang Yu seems incredibly profound, saving ordinary people from the path they would have taken over thousands of years, but in the end, it is also a shortcut.
They do not understand the true path of weapon crafting.
The cultivation world is full of talented and extraordinary individuals; have none of them ever deduced this direction? Of course they have, but they simply abandoned the derivation of this direction after discovering that it did not meet the needs of cultivators.
The placement bar has an amazing effect, not only giving him nine times the efficiency, but also allowing him to advance in rank by placing items over time.
However, this level is far from comparable to the outstanding figures and sages born in the entire cultivation civilization. In terms of creating methods, Wang Yu is still an infant trying to learn to walk like the man from Handan.
While their thinking and comprehension surpass those of their peers, they are far inferior to the creative abilities of an entire cultivation civilization. Moreover, it is not only humans who cultivate the [Path of Refining Spirits to Become Immortals] in the cosmic sea!
Like the ancient race, the celestial race, the eight-armed race, and other allied races that are on good terms with the human race, they also cultivate the path of refining spirits to become immortals. Because these races look very similar to the human race, and their aesthetics and cultures are similar, they naturally have an extra layer of closeness.
They are either born with extraordinary abilities or have distinctive physical characteristics.
This is what distinguishes different races; otherwise, it would be reasonable to say they are all human.
The last time I refined the [Dragon Pattern Black Gold Crown], it was just a lucky attempt. This time, the result of refining the Heavenly Demon Diagram was good, but not perfect enough.
In general.
Wang Yu wanted to use it to lure the Heavenly Demons of the Blood Heart lineage, which was fine; the bait and the cage were both perfect. The problem lay in the Heavenly Demon Diagram's protection of his own primordial spirit.
The method for refining this spiritual treasure originated from the "Extreme Desire Heavenly Demon Strategy," which is the fundamental scripture passed down by the Joyful Union Demon Sect of the Ice Prison Realm. There is no need to elaborate on the composition of the Ice Prison.
To ensure that one can remain unaffected by the six desires.
It also has effects similar to the "Ice Heart Technique", including the Six Desires Demon Diagram, which binds the Six Desires Demons and squeezes their bloodline potential, thereby enabling them to unleash demonic powers.
Now, Lingbao has been promoted.
But without this layer of protection, it depends on Wang Yu's mental cultivation, or rather, his willpower, to subdue the Heavenly Demon.
As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."
It is clear that one should be cautious in using the natural weapon-refining method in the future. It is best to honestly make up for the shortcomings in the basics, and to proceed steadily like in alchemy. Only in this way can one seamlessly connect with the lessons learned from higher-level inheritances.
Wang Yu pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
'A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.'
Regarding spiritual realms, how many years has he been stuck at the [Glassy Mind Realm]? Moreover, he possesses the extremely restraining spiritual imagery of the Killing Path.
It also possesses the rare and precious spiritual root, the Seven Hearts Treasure Wheel Tree.
He has never lacked mental protection.
He has experienced quite a few illusions, trials of the mortal world, and immersive reincarnation tests. In particular, under the effect of the Boundless Mortal World Secret Technique, his crystal heart has long been transparent and pure to the extreme.
Is it a matter of aptitude that I still can't break through?
He felt... perhaps the intensity of the training was insufficient.
The secret technique is performed by oneself, and there is a way to break the seal and escape the cycle of reincarnation. Even if the memory is temporarily sealed, there is still a sliver of room left.
This is likely the crux of the problem.
As for the Heavenly Demon, regardless of its lineage, it is adept at bewitching people's hearts. He overcame the tribulation of divine transformation in the Nascent Soul stage without any difficulty, which is because his state of mind far exceeded his realm.
To deal with the Heavenly Demons of the Blood Heart lineage, mental tempering is the first and only difficult hurdle, since the one being guided is a sixth-order Heavenly Demon, whose position is comparable to the Void Refinement stage.
The second challenge is about the soul.
Wang Yu cultivated the "Taiyin Refining Form Treasure Record," and his divine consciousness had transformed into Taiyin divine power, or it could also be called "Taiyin divine thought." It originated from the primordial spirit and is the sixth "sensory organ" of a cultivator.
The innate Star God is naturally gifted in this field, possessing an innate soul of law. Their comprehension of the Great Dao seems to be constantly undergoing enlightenment, making them true prodigies of heaven.
The profound mysteries of the Taiyin are particularly adept at this.
Although Wang Yu has not yet cultivated the third Taiyin Divine Pattern, it is almost impossible for the Heavenly Demon to possess him; it can only deceive his mind.
As for the third level...
This is related to the Blood Heart Demon's innate ability—manipulating blood!
Most likely, it will cause his blood to surge violently, leading him to harm himself and break his will with pain and fear. Depending on the different lineages of the Heavenly Demons, the challenges of this third trial will also be different.
He actually thought it was a good way to toughen up his physique.
Even before using it and before the body has adapted, you can still enjoy the benefits of a period of rapid growth.
In this way...
Both mind and body are tempered, so the probability of breakthrough is not low. The primordial spirit can also be tempered in battle, plus the Heavenly Demon Blood Pearl obtained by refining the Heavenly Demon.
It was also the perfect match for him to open up his second dantian (energy center).
A single action...achieving four goals?
"Wonderful!"
Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh. In this world, fortune and misfortune are truly intertwined. Sometimes, looking at a problem from a different perspective can lead to completely different results.
but.
He currently lacks resources; the demonic spiritual herbs nurtured in his internal cave are all lacking the time to mature, even those that were stolen.
As long as one hasn't reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, everyone can use the resources they have. Even those who have reached the peak will try to accumulate the resources needed to break through to the next level.
So don't be fooled by the abundance of resources within your inner cave; many are immature, semi-finished spiritual herbs, or exist solely to construct the internal circulation within the cave, and their quality is not high.
Among those killed by Wang Yu, the Impermanent King was a wealthy man.
However, he didn't get to eat the biggest piece of meat. The body he found by picking up the corpse was decent, but the Qiankun Ring and the True Demon Token were stolen when he was instantly killed by the Soul King, leaving only a bare corpse.
This is perfectly normal.
Demonic cultivators are all ruthless opportunists, so how could they possibly overlook the spoils of war? Therefore, although the cave heavens devoured by Wang Yu had abundant resources, very few were actually usable.
After several hundred years of operation, there will be several periods of resource explosion, and there will be quite a few seventh-order spirit seeds to be harvested here, as long as one's cultivation reaches the late stage of Void Refinement.
They will arrange corresponding demonic spiritual medicines for the Dao Integration stage, which are seventh-order spiritual seeds, in their internal grotto-heavens. This requires a lot of merit points, but it is also a process of accumulation.
Were those ten kings really using their merits and credentials to directly exchange for Dao Integration stage resources that they didn't need at the moment? No, they mostly exchanged for cheaper spirit seeds.
They planted everything that could be grown in large areas.
Only rare and precious items that are unsuitable for the internal cave environment will be purchased with a large sum of "salary," which is mostly used to exchange for those rare items with limited quantities.
Thinking about it this way, he has already gotten a great deal.
Once the required drug age is reached, a large sum of money can be earned. As for the resources needed for the breakthrough, the foundation can be used to cover the short term. This can only be done once in the short term.
We will continue to acquire more resources in the future, hoping to accumulate strength for a future breakthrough.
This allows the "advantage" to snowball and grow bigger and bigger. Refining and supplementing one's strengths is the only true path to cultivation.
With this thought in mind, Wang Yu stopped thinking about it.
After directly occupying this alternate dimension and setting up arrays and early warning systems at the entrance, they began communicating with the spirit of the Heavenly Demon Diagram.
For a Di Xuan spiritual treasure to be considered a true treasure, it must be made of materials that meet the required standards.
There is also the requirement of artifact spirit and law comprehension. Reaching 5% law comprehension will result in all low-grade earth-level spiritual treasures, 20% will result in mid-grade, 50% in high-grade, and 80% to 99% in top-grade.
Once it reaches 100%, it can be upgraded to a Heavenly Profound Treasure. The grade classification follows a different standard, and the comprehension level is no longer considered.
This realization is exactly what the spirit needs to do.
It is neither a cultivator nor a spiritual treasure itself.
Therefore, the comprehension of the artifact spirit is also very important. The probability of ordinary artifact spirits advancing is extremely low. The lustful beast is a creation of the secret method of "the path of emotion", which imitates the birth method of the spirits of heaven and earth.
It is considered a high-grade artifact spirit, but comprehending its laws is by no means an overnight achievement. The traditional method of artifact refiners is to invite cultivators who have comprehended the corresponding Dao principles to refine it together.
Or perhaps it is to communicate with the laws of the Great Dao and draw the attention of the Heavenly Dao.
The corresponding law runes are directly inscribed inside the spiritual treasure. The artifact spirit comprehends these runes day and night, just like the artistic conception that a cultivator forges. It is also a kind of ticket to the beginning of the law.
Unfortunately, runes cannot be inscribed on the human body, making it impossible to achieve complete comprehension through the integration of mind and body. Therefore, for human cultivators, comprehending the runes of laws is no different from reading celestial books carved on stone tablets; it still depends on individual comprehension.
Wang Yu actually has an advantage in this regard.
Although the "Heavenly Demon Star God Refining Treasure Book" cultivated by the Divine Embryo Split Body is not the same concept as the Heavenly Demon, it is essentially a branch of the Star Dao Principles.
However, it still has an auxiliary effect, after all, it is also associated with the word "demon". Furthermore, after learning about the origin of the myriad transformations, Wang Yu's demonic body is actually a great reference tool.
By absorbing more Heavenly Demon evolution physiques, the Myriad Transformation Demonic Patterns can perfectly match the advancement direction of the Heavenly Demon Diagram, including the natal Myriad Transformation True Artifact, which is also within the scope of benefit.
When the Heavenly Demon Diagram is activated, the trapping of the Blood Heart Heavenly Demon begins.
Wang Yu was extremely cautious, deeply understanding the principle that caution is the best policy. At the same time, he combined his divine sense with the little snake spirit, preparing to transmit the refining process to it simultaneously.
Further confirm the advancement direction of the Heavenly Demon Diagram.
This also gives the other party a starting point, so that they don't end up at a loss for where to begin.
As time goes by.
In the world that resembled an ink painting, ripples suddenly spread. At that moment, Wang Yu was already sitting cross-legged inside the Heavenly Demon Diagram. Having experience in luring and capturing Heavenly Demons, he knew very well what was going on.
Those ripples were a precursor to the establishment of a connection channel with the Heavenly Demon Realm. Before long, invisible and intangible creatures emerged from them.
What ordinary people wouldn't notice, but it was visible to Wang Yu.
However, a monster with a lower body resembling smoke and an upper body resembling a human, claws longer than its body, and covered in scarlet hearts suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Demon Map space.
It has no eyes or nose, only a huge mouth that stretches to its ears.
With each beat of his heart, which was located on the surface of his body, Wang Yu felt a surge of excitement. Fortunately, he had successfully cultivated his body, and his subconscious had been integrated into every cell of his body, giving rise to extraordinary abilities.
The sound that would make an ordinary person bleed profusely was only enough to make him feel hot all over, which was already a very good result.
Moreover, this is a late-stage sixth-tier Bloodheart Heavenly Demon.
Those who reach this level, aside from some exceptional individuals, should possess wisdom no less than that of an adult, even if they are born as stupid as a pig.
Of course.
The Blood Heart Demon realized that the space had boundaries and that there was a smell of desire that it hated. It instantly realized that it had fallen into a trap.
'One shouldn't have coveted that pure, wicked thought of living beings.'
'Um? '
The Blood Heart Demon had barely begun to think when he was horrified to find that his body was out of control, and a huge, dark hole, like the maw of a glutton, enveloped the entire world.
It was swallowed clean with a very smooth texture.
A powerful and overwhelming force surged forth, accompanied by eerie gray demonic flames that possessed extremely strong refining abilities. The Blood Heart Demon screamed in agony as it was burned.
After estimating that it could only last for a maximum of six months, it was filled with despair. However, guided by its demonic instincts, it soon discovered that it was actually inside the body of a powerful human.
The thought involuntarily paused.
It had seen far too many beings who coveted the power of the Heavenly Demons and tried to devour and refine them, but all those ambitious individuals imprisoned them in special cages.
There has never been a cultivator who tried to forcibly refine them using their own body as a furnace, after all... that would be courting death.
Possession is the Heavenly Demon's signature skill!
"Arrogant human cultivator, greedy? This demon will make you a corpse from greed..."
A few breaths later.
Wang Yu's entire body was crimson, with golden blood beads seeping from his body, mixed with dark red blood clots, all of which were waste blood left over from the multiple evolutions of his blood during his cultivation process.
This thing is hindering his progress.
However, for cultivators at lower levels in the body-refining path, it is an extremely coveted supreme elixir, which is the difference brought about by the gap in cultivation levels.
The body is tempered by the "rebellion" of blood.
The more pain he felt, the more exhilarated Wang Yu felt, as if he had achieved mental satisfaction, and he hummed softly in comfort.
at the same time.
The Heart Lake space continued to tremble, and the Seven Hearts Treasure Wheel Tree continuously released holy light to stabilize the entire Heart Lake space. Wang Yu's bottleneck in the Glazed Heart Realm finally began to loosen.
Furthermore, regarding the Taiyin Divine Soul, he felt increasingly refined and at ease, and the effect produced by a Blood Heart Heavenly Demon far exceeded his expectations.
There is no pressure, and the results are remarkable.
Conservatively speaking, it would take another ten or so times for the effect to gradually diminish until it becomes just another ordinary method. However, if a Heavenly Demon can integrate more bloodline lineages, this process should be able to be repeated.
Until it becomes completely useless.
in this way.
One month after refining the Blood Heart Heavenly Demon, Wang Yu's Taiyin Divine Soul power greatly improved. Although his realm did not advance, the quality of his power increased significantly.
Two months later, blood cocoons formed on his body. What would normally take years to overcome was condensed into sixty days. He officially broke through to the late stage of the sixth level in body refinement, and his strength greatly improved.
Three months later, the crystal heart that had been condensed in the Heart Lake space developed cracks and shattered completely. Since cultivating the fifth realm of the mind hundreds of years ago, Wang Yu had finally made another step forward.
Reaching the sixth level of spiritual attainment: "The highest good is like water."
Also known as the "Supreme Goodness Realm"!
With his "Power of Thought" receiving an epic enhancement, Wang Yu actually comprehended a probability-based secret technique that enhanced his mental strength. He suspected it was related to the Prajna Heart Sutra he had been practicing for many years.
There is no time to spare right now; we must wait until the refining and development are completed before we can study it in detail.
It wasn't until the fourth month that this tenacious Blood Heart Demon completely transformed into resources for Wang Yu's growth, with a strange energy circulating according to the methods of the Ninefold Blood Sea secret technique.
In an instant, it locked onto Wang Yu's lower dantian.
This place is a place where essence and filth are stored. The primordial marrow resides on the dragon's spine, but the qi and blood that transform the marrow reside here. Therefore, it is also known as the Gate of Longevity.
After all, abundant Qi and blood lead to a strong body, and a strong body leads to longevity and good fortune.
The secret method seems to require opening another Qi Sea here.
However, having just broken through to the Body Refinement stage, it was unwilling to have its foundation occupied. Without Wang Yu's will interfering, this energy went to the Upper Dantian, also known as the Niwan Palace, which is the territory of the Taiyin Divine Soul.
After failing once again, it obediently retreated to its middle dantian, which is commonly known as the "sea of qi" and is the place where the true demonic essence is stored.
Based on this, the secret technique takes effect.
Opening a second layer creates a double Qi Sea, which, while not as large as Wang Yu's own Dantian, is still about nine-tenths the size.
They are certainly not to be underestimated.
However, he also fully understood the dangers of cultivating this method. It should be known that cultivators who refine emptiness seek the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head, the place where the spirit and essence are stored, which must never be replaced by the sea of qi.
Otherwise, the prosperity of a single Qi path would be far stronger than the other two.
If you can't even maintain balance, how can you talk about the three flowers gathering at the top?
The Ninefold Blood Sea Secret Technique may seem to have no entry requirements, but it actually hides a huge pitfall. For cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration stage, the best time to cultivate this technique has already passed.
Furthermore, at that time, the inner cave had begun to evolve into a small world, also known as a boundary heaven, and its power could be mobilized, making his magical power virtually inexhaustible.
Simply accumulating more quantity is not very meaningful.
The ability to output damage instantly is the key, but if a cultivator who has mastered the Void Refinement technique practices this method, their lower dantian will be invaded if their body is weak, and their upper dantian will be invaded if their spirit is weak, resulting in a significant reduction in their potential.
Who could stand this?
Wang Yu was unaware of this beforehand, but he passed through it with remarkable ease, which shows that Master Shengdan had some understanding of his spirit and energy, but simply felt it was unnecessary.
With the second Blood Sea successfully opened, the next step was to accumulate and transform the myriad magical power. Wang Yu calmed his mind and was about to continue fishing when...
The message came from Yue Zhenxiao ahead of time...
He took out the communication jade talisman, and the other party's calm voice sounded.
“Brother Wuyou, the situation has changed. The communication methods of those alien spies are changing extremely quickly, and their few remaining strongholds are also frequently changing locations. It might be a bit difficult to keep track of time…”
