Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Chapter 577: Chapter 13: Profound Yuan Chaos Scripture

The Immortal Scripture that had been on his mind for two hundred and twenty years was finally confirmed, and Li Ji’an’s heart was at ease.

He immediately headed toward the cave of the Two-headed Snake.

At the same time, his Divine Sense already captured Gugu and the Two-headed Snake’s magical combat in his view.

As a wild demon beast, the Two-headed Snake managed to condense a Demon Pill in such an environment, indicating that its beast nature, bloodline, and opportunities were quite good. Although more than a hundred years had passed, and it hadn’t broken through the early Tier Three yet, it was still an experienced Great Demon of Tier Three, and snake demon beasts inherently suppress frog demon beasts’ bloodlines.

Gugu did not have the advantage facing it with an Early Golden Core Stage.

Without the Fifth Grade Magical Treasure Crescent Saber at its side, it wouldn’t have had the courage to confront directly.

"Hiss~" Gugu swallowed everything within the snake’s nest in one gulp, and after another Earth Escape, the Two-headed Snake roared, with its left tongue spewing a stream of extreme cold freezing the ground where Gugu was located.

However, Gugu was one step ahead and disappeared.

"Zheng~" The next moment, a cold gleam shot from underground at the snake’s abdomen.

Slash~

It instantly struck its black-brown scales, emitting a dazzling spark.

That was the snake’s vulnerable spot, where the demon pill was located, a fatal vein gate, but clearly, it had already refined an extremely tough defense there.

"Hiss~" Although this strike didn’t completely kill it, it severely damaged its most protective scales, causing its demon pill to tremble, and its Demon Qi became chaotic.

The Two-headed Snake’s wild nature exploded, and with a roar, the right head spewed a stream of red flames underground.

Immediately, under the cover of the red flames, the ten zhang snake body rolled up a cloud of dust and burrowed underground.

Its escape speed underground was slightly faster than Gugu’s, but Gugu’s Concealing Breath and Form left it without a clear target.

Relying on the mystical Concealing Breath and Form, Gugu not only avoided direct combat but also launched several surprise attacks.

After several hours of such guerrilla maneuvers, the Two-headed Snake’s Demon Qi dropped significantly, and its defense of the vulnerable spot became less rigorous.

Gugu saw the opportunity, gathered all its demon power and bloodline power, and fully activated the Crescent Saber.

"Zheng~" A lethal strike.

The Two-headed Snake was severed in two, and the demon pill was almost shattered.

Only then did Gugu reveal its form, coming to the front of the Two-headed Snake, pressing its two heads down with a claw, its eyes filled with pleasure.

Deprived of its demon pill, the Two-headed Snake struggled frantically, but it was futile, as Gugu easily pierced through both heads.

Once the Two-headed Snake was lifeless, Li Ji’an came beside the snake’s body and quickly collected the nearly shattered demon pill properly.

"Gu~" Gugu’s demon qi dispersed instantly, lying on the ground.

Having activated the Crescent Saber several times, it was already exhausted, especially after the last strike, which almost depleted its demon power.

It then looked eagerly at Li Ji’an, who took the demon pill of the Two-headed Snake, with a pitiful look on its face.

"Don’t stare, the demon pill of a wild Tier Three demon beast has too much evil qi for you to handle. Let me refine it into a pill for you later." Li Ji’an instructed with a not-so-good temper, seeing its aggrieved expression.

He didn’t really intend to steal Gugu’s loot; he was just worried about Gugu being corrupted by wildness and having a changed heart nature in the future.

"This snake’s body is indeed nourishing and greatly beneficial for blood qi." Then Li Ji’an pointed to the snake’s body.

Demon beast meat provides much stronger benefits for qi and blood compared to ordinary Qi Blood Pills. Before, in the Celestial Cyan Domain, major markets had spirit chefs specializing in cooking various spirit beast cuisines. Whenever cultivators approached bottlenecks or Foundation Establishment, they often used these to enhance their qi and blood.

However, blood and meat from a Tier Three Great Demon were a luxury for few.

Apart from ordinary cultivators, even Early-stage True Core Cultivators without Body Refining couldn’t withstand the powerful qi and blood within it, and Tier Three Great Demon’s body was all treasure, usable in medicine and Artifact Refining, utilized to the fullest.

"Well, today I’ll give you a taste!" Using magical power to preserve the snake meat, after sensing carefully for a moment, Li Ji’an was attracted by its rich qi and blood, deciding promptly to prepare a good meal.

Before that, he first let Gugu clean out everything from the snake demon’s nest.

The snake demon had occupied this place for hundreds of years, collecting quite a sum of treasures, including two mature Tier Three spirit fruits beneficial for spiritual intelligence, a piece of willow wood supposedly an ancient relic, and a washbasin-sized black stone, surprisingly an excellent soul stone, perfect material for crafting Soul Dao Magical Artifacts.

Besides these, there were clothes, bones, and even Magical Artifacts from human cultivators, though mostly items at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Li Ji’an finally picked up the ancient jade talisman he had seen from afar over two hundred years ago.

The jade talisman now had lost its spiritual qi, bearing mottled marks on the surface, and without Divine Sense to probe carefully, it could be overlooked by ordinary cultivators.

Li Ji’an’s Divine Sense penetrated, and it didn’t reveal the magical power silhouette left by Qianyuan True Monarch back when Red Stone Wanderer had obtained it, only ancient text imprints.

"Profound Yuan Chaos Scripture"

The cultivation technique imprint within the jade talisman was extensively revised, containing numerous annotations and insights.

There were even various derivation processes.

"This..." After reading the opening, Li Ji’an furrowed his brows slightly.

Back then, when the ancient Qianyuan True Monarch left his silhouette and said it was an Immortal Scripture, Li Ji’an thought it was a mature cultivation technique.

But now, on a closer look, it turned out to be a nascent cultivation technique.

"To be termed an Immortal Scripture by an Ancient Nascent Soul True Monarch, it must have extraordinary qualities!" After pondering for a moment, Li Ji’an held no disdain.

The original cultivation methods of this world were all created by the ancestors of the human race, foresighted beings, and as generations successively evolved, they inevitably became more refined.
