Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique

Comprehending various Martial Arts from a Celestial Stele was equivalent to being personally taught by the Martial Saint powerhouse who had inscribed them. The steles also contained the insights that Martial Saint had gained during their cultivation. This was far beyond what any manual recorded on Demon Hide could offer.

Wei Jianing smiled radiantly and handed a black pill bottle to Shu Feng. "This is a Profound Venerable Pill. It can increase your chances of advancing to the Martial Venerable Realm by thirty percent."

A Profound Venerable Pill could increase a Grandmaster Level powerhouse’s chances of advancing to a Martial Venerable by thirty percent. This type of Spirit Pill was extremely precious. Even in a sect as large as the Bi Yao Demon Sect, they might not obtain even one Profound Venerable Pill on average each year.

Wei Jianing said, "As the Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple, you will receive ten High Level Profound Qi Pills and 100 Sect Contribution points each month. I will deliver them on time every month, so please rest assured."

One High Level Profound Qi Pill could be exchanged for one hundred Middle Level Profound Qi Pills or ten thousand Basic Profound Qi Pills. However, that was just the official exchange rate. In fact, on the outside, a single High Level Profound Qi Pill could be exchanged for more than two hundred Middle Level Profound Qi Pills. An ordinary True Disciple could only obtain one High Level Profound Qi Pill a month.

Wei Jianing offered a few more words of advice before taking her leave.

"Greetings, Master!"

The moment Shu Feng and Xiaozhu ascended Celestial Maple Peak, five hundred servants fell to the ground in prostration, speaking with the utmost respect.

On Celestial Maple Peak, there were Beast Slaves, Medicine Slaves, chefs, gardeners, Stewards, and maids, numbering as many as five hundred. As the Celestial Maple Peak Master, Shu Feng was the master of these five hundred servants, holding the power of life and death over them.

After settling Xiaozhu in, Shu Feng headed directly for the Bi Yao Demon Sect’s legacy Holy Land, the Celestial Stele Square.

"Stop right there! Who are you?"

As soon as Shu Feng arrived at Celestial Stele Square, a white-haired old woman with an icy expression demanded coldly.

"Elder Mu, I am Han Feng, the Sect Leader’s Direct Disciple. This is a Celestial Stele Order!" Shu Feng said, directly presenting a Celestial Stele Order.

Elder Mu’s expression softened slightly as she said, "Go on in."

As Shu Feng entered Celestial Stele Square, he saw one or more stone steles standing every hundred meters across the vast plaza.

On those stone steles were inscribed incredibly powerful Cultivation Techniques or Martial Techniques.

"Found it. The *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique*!"

Shu Feng walked on until he came to a pair of stone steles.

Of the two steles, one stood thirty meters tall, inscribed with countless abstruse characters and patterns. The other stele was two meters tall. Embedded in its center was a Gu Insect with six insect wings, bladed arms, thick legs, and a hard carapace. Its body was covered in sharp spikes, inscribed with innumerable arcane runes, and its six compound eyes were exceptionally bizarre.

A powerful Barrier was spread out before the two steles, preventing Shu Feng from clearly seeing the various characters and patterns on them.

Shu Feng took out a Celestial Stele Order and tossed it directly toward the two steles.

A mysterious light flashed, and the Barrier around the two steles parted at once.

Shu Feng strode inside.

’So this is the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique*! It’s as amazing as they say, far superior to the *Gu Demon Technique*!’

Shu Feng stood before the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique* stele and examined it closely. The countless characters and patterns on its surface immediately began to twist and writhe.

A mysterious light flashed, and a 1.8-meter-tall powerhouse with short hair and a body interwoven with countless Gu Insect tattoos appeared. He began to explain the various Cultivation Secret Techniques and critical junctures within the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique*.

The *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique* was incomparably abstruse. However, Shu Feng’s Intelligence was as high as 1800 points, far surpassing that of many powerhouses in the Spirit Saint Realm. This, combined with his Holy Soul, allowed him to rapidly analyze the technique’s profundities.

Within the Base Space, the Central Analyzer also began to glow, rapidly analyzing the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique*.

It took a full day for Shu Feng to completely memorize the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique*.

’So this is the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King at the Great Success stage! The Gu Insect that commands all Ten Thousand Gu under heaven. Once you refine a Ten Thousand Demon Gu King, all other Gu in the world will bow before it, and the Thousand Gu Demon Sect would fall without a fight. Unfortunately, in all of history, only three powerhouses have ever succeeded in refining a Ten Thousand Demon Gu King, and all of them are already dead!’

Shu Feng walked over to the other stele and gazed at the ferocious-looking Gu Insect, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

When the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique* is cultivated to the Supreme Realm, the Lifebound Gu within the user’s body evolves into a Ten Thousand Demon Gu King. It becomes the Commander-in-Chief of all Gu in the world, its might renowned and terrifying. It could almost be called invincible.

Sixty years ago, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Gu Demon Sect, the Gu Emperor, cultivated the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique* to the Supreme Realm. He nurtured a Ten Thousand Demon Gu King, defeated all rivals in the Great Zhou Demon Country, and was publicly acknowledged as the second most powerful person in the world.

The Great Song Empire, which had always considered itself the orthodox power of the Central Plains and looked down on the powerhouses of the Great Zhou Demon Country, had no choice but to rank the Gu Emperor as second in the world.

After the Gu Emperor reached the Great Success stage of his cultivation, he went full of confidence to War Immortal City to challenge Wei Tuxian.

As a result, the second most powerful person in the world became a dead man, and the Thousand Gu Demon Sect fell from being the number one Major Sect in the Great Zhou Demon Country to third place.

Although the Gu Emperor died a miserable death at Wei Tuxian’s hands, it wasn’t because the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique* was weak. Rather, Wei Tuxian was simply too powerful—so powerful as to inspire Despair.

Shu Feng reached out and gently pressed a hand against the corpse of the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King.

A completely invisible, sharp little needle formed from the Genetic Collector pricked the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King slightly, creating a cell-sized hole. It directly absorbed one of the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King’s cells and began to analyze it.

’I can still cultivate one more Martial Art! Which one should I choose?’

’The *Jade Wave Demon Technique* is on the same level as the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique*, but aside from its youth-preserving effect, it’s not necessarily better than the *Ten Thousand Gu Demon Technique* in other aspects.’

’The Bi Yao Demon Sect’s four great Divine Techniques, the *Ten Thousand Flowers Demon Sword* and the *Yin Yang Qi Finger*, are decent! I’ll go learn the *Yin Yang Qi Finger* then!’

After pondering for a moment, Shu Feng arrived before the Celestial Stele that recorded the *Yin Yang Qi Finger*. He took out another Celestial Stele Order and stepped into the Celestial Stele Barrier surrounding it.

Shu Feng looked at the *Yin Yang Qi Finger* Celestial Stele. Ripples of light shimmered, and a handsome man in white robes with a suave and elegant demeanor appeared on the stele. He began to explain the mysteries of the *Yin Yang Qi Finger*.

’Not bad. This *Yin Yang Qi Finger* is the Divine Technique most suited for me! It’s cool and stylish, and its range is extremely long.’

Watching the white-robed man’s cool and stylish posture as he executed the *Yin Yang Qi Finger*, Shu Feng’s eyes lit up with a flash of excitement.

Before this, Shu Feng’s fighting style had always been to wildly slash at close range with his Flowing Light Saber Technique. Although it was effective, it wasn’t stylish enough. The *Yin Yang Qi Finger* was definitely a Divine Technique that balanced both style and power.
