Chapter 128: Chapter 82: Digesting the Treasury, the Realm of Demonic Form
The memories and personality of the demonic form were almost entirely integrated into his spirit.
However...
He seemed not to be greatly affected.
There were some peculiar psychological changes right after the breakthrough, but now they’ve faded considerably.
Why is that?
In no time, Li Xuan quickly came to a speculation: Spirit Attribute.
In this Prime Minister’s Secret Martial Arts treasury, he reviewed a total of 104 Grandmaster Cultivation Techniques, and not a single one among them was a "Grandmaster Cultivation Technique with Spirit Attribute."
Therefore, for others, they have no way to enhance their spirit attribute, no matter how much they cultivate their body and mind, indulge in music for emotional training, or have a strong will, it’s still only around a dozen points.
Yet Li Xuan was different, even without injecting demon blood, he already had 25 points in Spirit Attribute.
Could this be the reason?
He couldn’t be certain.
However, he was sure that, while there was some influence, it was absolutely not as significant as Pang Wuyue’s.
However, summoning the demonic form itself consumes a lot, and cannot be sustained for long.
Li Xuan curiously controlled his demonic Vajra for a while before quickly withdrawing it.
...
...
Knock, knock, knock...
Li Xuan knocked on the little door of the eastern dwelling.
Today, unbearable sounds were coming from Senior Sister Pang’s place, whereas it was quiet on Senior Brother Yan’s side, so he came to Senior Brother Yan’s place.
Creak~
The door slowly opened.
Yan Beige with disheveled hair and confused eyes stood behind the door.
Out of the corner of his eye, Li Xuan swept across the room, vaguely spotting bloodstains on the floor, and the tall man also had bloodstains on his body.
Recalling an earlier scene, he guessed this Senior Brother Yan was probably self-harming to suppress the demonic thoughts in his mind.
Li Xuan sighed inwardly: ’These Secret Martial Arts are truly not for humans to cultivate.’
Seeing Li Xuan, Yan Beige took a deep breath. His eyes regained some clarity, and he said coldly: "What do you want, Junior Brother?"
Li Xuan said, "Lately, while cultivating the demonic form, I feel a lot of buzzing noise in my head, and I can’t stand it anymore, so I want to return to the capital for a few days of quiet recuperation."
"Hmm... You’ve already cultivated two Secret Martial Arts, and cultivating another different Secret Martial Arts system, indeed... what did you say just now?" Yan Beige was mumbling, but suddenly realized something, stopped speaking, and frowned at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan did not waste words, slightly hunched his back, stretched his arms, opening them like a great bow.
Immediately, a thin black aura rose between his arms and his back.
"Physique directly breaking the 30-point limit" made Li Xuan realize "breaking through the demonic form in just a few days" should be "something that has already surpassed the limit of what humans can endure."
So, he had to conceal his strength, only revealing the power that had just stepped into the demonic form realm.
However... such outward manifestations are easy to hide, but the changes in the body are hard to conceal.
Therefore, Li Xuan did not clench his fists, he merely raised his neck, revealing a few signs of pain.
Yan Beige stared at the youth within the black aura as if petrified.
Having been through the demonic form realm himself, he naturally could see that this black aura was the unformed demonic Qi, which was the beginning stage of integrating into the demonic diagram.
"No... not... you, you’re not..."
Yan Beige rubbed his forehead.
He finally remembered.
"Weren’t you cultivating Secret Martial Arts? Have you already mastered all three Secret Martial Arts?"
After asking, he realized that he was asking a pointless question.
This demonic Qi’s aura was all too familiar because it was entirely the same power as his own, how could he not recognize it?
Li Xuan said, "Yes, I went to seek advice from Senior Sister Pang a few days ago, and only then was I able to make such progress. But unfortunately..."
He painfully hugged his head, saying, "It seems different memories have emerged in my mind, how strange."
Yan Beige was silent for a long time, tapping his forehead with the iron clapper in his hand, then said, "You’ve really started breaking through to the demonic form?"
He asked because it was hard for him to accept, hard to believe.
Could it be true that there are people born with innate knowledge?
Therefore, after asking, he didn’t wait for an answer, and said, "Alright, I’ll escort you back to the capital. If you want to come back, just have Jiang Zhenshan contact me."
Saying this, Yan Beige suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you like musical instruments?"
Li Xuan said, "I’ve been busy with cultivation and haven’t touched them in a long time."
Yan Beige solemnly said, "You’d better pick up your favorite instrument again, immerse yourself in music, and find solace in it; otherwise... it’ll be hard to endure this demonic form realm."
Li Xuan felt his goodwill and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Then, Yan Beige rode out with the carriage, and Li Xuan once again covered his eyes and sat in the large black carriage.
This time... every twist and turn of the carriage’s route was accurately mapped out in his mind.
Even the black carriage that blocks sights and sounds now showed "flaws."
He... could hear the outside noises.
Half an hour later, Li Xuan appeared at the Prime Minister’s residence.
And this time, he also knew the location of the Secret Martial Arts treasury.
A tunnel, huh?
Connected to the Prime Minister’s residence, eh?
With a maze inside, so it twists and turns, right?
This is really similar to his own way of thinking.
...
...
Li Xuan bathed and changed clothes, and was taken by Jiang Zhenshan to the best restaurant in the capital, ordered fine wine, stewed lamb, braised turtle shell, secret spiced large bones, fire-roasted waist kidneys, seven-color buns, fish parcels, and then made fried fish rice as the main course.
The two drank heartily.
Li Xuan, realizing the passage of time, discovered it had only been a month and a half.
"Why did you come out so quickly, Junior Brother?"
"Encountered some minor issues in cultivation, but it’s nothing serious, just intend to stay outside for a while quietly."
