Chapter 278: The Control of Yin Flame (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although he did not continue to drop top-grade medicinal pills after his good luck ended, the Hide of Flying Sea Wynn and Blood Grass Seed that he dropped this time were both quite useful.
Among them, the Hide of Flying Sea Wyrm could be used for the Blood Refinement Technique. And the Blood Grass Seed could bring a huge threat to Blood Martial Realm martial artists.
All in all, Xiao Shi was very satisfied with the five blood martial-level items he had obtained this time. The few peerless pills in his hand would also become his powerful trump cards in the Blood Martial Realm.
“Next, it’s time to control the Yin Flame.” Xiao Shi looked up at the valley in front of him. He knew that if he wanted to control the Yin Flame, he had to continuously head to the depths of the valley. The deeper he went, the stronger the Yin Flame was. However, just as he took a step forward, a circle of ink-black ripples appeared under his feet. “This is… a restriction?”
Only then did he realize that this valley was also filled with restrictions. However, these restrictions would not bring any harm. They would only stop them from advancing.
“If you satisfy a certain condition, you won’t be affected by these restrictions and will be unimpeded here. On the contrary, if you don’t meet the requirements, you will be blocked by these restrictions.” Xiao Shi was enlightened. He looked down at the black ripples under his feet. He sensed it carefully. He gradually understood the conditions of these restrictions. “Demonic nature, huh…”
He realized that if he wanted to pass through this place, he had to have enough demonic nature. If the demonic nature was not enough, he would be blocked by the restrictions here.
Xiao Shi did not know much about demonic nature, but he knew that the more he killed, the stronger his demonic nature would be. However, there would be a certain difference between the orthodox and demonic factions.
Although the killings of the orthodox factions would also increase the demonic nature, the increase was not huge. Moreover, the demonic nature would slowly fade with time. Unless it was a wanton massacre. For example, slaughtering a city.
Such wanton slaughter would often cause one’s demonic nature to soar, and one would fall into the demonic path.
And every time the people of the demonic path killed, they would bring a certain degree of demonic nature to themselves. Moreover, their demonic nature would basically not be obliterated and would only become stronger and stronger.
This had a lot to do with the cultivation techniques both parties cultivated. The cultivation methods of the demonic factions themselves had a relatively strong demonic nature. Thus, every time they killed, their demonic nature would constantly strengthen.
The cultivation techniques of the orthodox factions would not increase the demonic nature. There were even some cultivation techniques that specialized in wearing down one’s demonic nature.
After all, demonic nature was beneficial and harmless to demonic path martial artists. However, it would have a huge impact on the orthodox martial artists. This impact was huge. In serious cases, it would cause his cultivation to stagnate or even become chaotic. His mind and personality would also be affected invisibly. And once his demonic nature was too strong, he would even fall into the demonic path.
However, the people of the orthodox factions would usually only fall into the demonic path when they carried out crazy killings such as massacring cities.
The killings that Xiao Shi had experienced were at most more demonic than ordinary people, but it did not affect him much.
Xiao Shi thought that this might be the reason. Therefore, he could move forward unimpeded here. However, as he continued to advance, his brows gradually furrowed. He realized that the strength of these restrictions was actually increasing continuously.
As the strength of the restriction increased, the demonic nature required became greater and greater.
“At this rate, it’s impossible for me to enter the depths of the valley.” Xiao Shi could clearly feel the strengthening of these restrictions. However, as he continued forward, he was surprised to find that with his demonic nature, he could still move forward normally without being blocked by these restrictions. “Weird. With my demonic nature, I shouldn’t be able to continue forward. But I’m still extremely relaxed. 1 don’t feel any obstruction at all.”
Xiao Shi was deep in thought.
Soon, he understood the reason and affirmed a fact. “Looks like the Mutated Blood Tiger Transformation Scripture… is indeed a cultivation technique belonging to a demonic faction!”
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. Previously, this was only a speculation.
Now, he was basically certain!
Because the Mutated Blood Tiger Transformation Scripture was a cultivation technique of a demonic faction, after his massacre, the growth of his demonic nature was already different from that of the orthodox.
Now, the demonic nature he possessed was even larger than he had expected.
“It turns out that ever since I stepped into the Blood Martial Realm, I’ve already begun to cultivate the cultivation techniques of the demonic path.” Xiao Shi was enlightened.
He had obtained the Mutated Blood Tiger Transformation Scripture from the Red Tiger Totem. From this, one could confirm that behind the Red Tiger Totem, there was definitely a connection with the demonic path.
“Is the Red Tiger Sect essentially an orthodox sect or a demonic faction?” Xiao Shi fell into deep thought. Because he had too little information now, he could only analyze it through his own situation. He felt that this was a subtle position between the orthodox and the demonic path.
It did not belong to one of them. If it belonged to the orthodox path, it would already affect his cultivation, personality, and so on with his current demonic nature. However, before entering this place, Xiao Shi did not sense that he had a stronger demonic nature, nor was he affected at all.
If it was the demonic path, then he would not care about killing the innocent..
