Chapter 614: Chapter 306: Demonic Temptations
The grave transformed into Giant Tomb Island.
This led to a subsequent series of events.
Li An focused on researching the information about the teapot lid, and he was shocked by his findings.
Although this teapot lid is a supreme treasure, it is indeed a demonic object.
From Lady Yi’s memories, it appears that anyone who possesses this item must continuously devour living beings in the world to feed the countless demon souls within. As long as they can keep feeding it, they can gain immense magic power and a variety of supreme scriptures in return!
But if they stop, if the supply is cut off, the person in possession will become prey to the demon pot!
The notorious Heaven-Devouring Great Demon spent his life relentlessly evil, slaughtering countless beings and powerful figures just to feed this item.
Yet in the end, he still could not satisfy the demon pot, and thus met his downfall, being severely injured and killed when his enemies seized the opportunity!
Li An could not help but feel a bit frightened. Fortunately, he practiced the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill. If it weren’t for this heaven-defying skill pulling him back from getting lost, Li An might have already turned into a pile of bones now.
At the same time, he suddenly became wary of this teapot lid!
Li An is a greedy person, but his greatest greed is for—life!
Other than that, everything else can be sacrificed.
This Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot, even the Heaven-Devouring Great Demon couldn’t control it, ending up dead, and Lady Yi merely obtained the lid, losing her Golden Immortal cultivation, and ultimately being eradicated by someone like him who was only at the Mahayana Stage...
This item is not benevolent!
With just a change of thought in his mind, Li An already dismissed the idea of keeping this lid.
The best outcome for such a thing is to be thrown into an uninhabited ocean trench, which could even be considered a great virtue on his part.
Of course, the main reason he considered this is that the item’s benefit to him isn’t that necessary.
The functions of this item are, first, as a weapon, and second, the countless ancient scriptures it contains, which are more appealing to the powerful beings of the Other Immortal Realm.
In terms of sheer destructive power, this demon pot lid might not truly be unrivaled. From Lady Yi’s Primordial Spirit, Li An learned that the "Celestial Corpse Sword" she possessed was not much weaker in destructive power than this lid.
Of course, this might be because the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot is incomplete. After all, without the pot body, relying solely on the demon pot lid, limited power is understandable too.
As for the universally important various Demon Dao scriptures...
To Li An, they are quite dispensable.
With the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill available, what cultivation technique can compare to it?
It’s best to follow the steps and cultivate the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill. Once acquiring this item, if he wants to obtain magic power and scriptures from it, it would require rampant killing, bringing unnecessary suffering upon himself.
Moreover, this item is a renowned object in the Other Immortal Realm. Even after so many years since Lady Yi’s death, people of the Eleventh Heaven still have not forgotten her, searching everywhere. If he took it and went out killing, it would be like the ancient proverb "the old man who hangs himself for feeling too old."
He even suspects that this item has been moved once on Nanfu Island, and it might have already drawn uncountable watchful eyes!
"However, this demon pot lid, I might as well make a sacrifice once and activate it to see..."
From Lady Yi’s mind, he already learned the method of sacrifice, and he currently has the sacrificial item—given by Yi Lingwei, that source of the strange demon!
Initially, he didn’t know what this thing was for, but now he understood after reading Lady Yi’s memories.
Yi Lingwei intended for him to take this item to Lady Yi, precisely for the demon pot lid!
Taking out the source of the strange demon and giving it a glance, Li An snorted coldly and then summoned the power of his Primordial Spirit, channeling it into the bottle.
After absorbing Lady Yi’s Primordial Spirit, the Life Seed has allowed his Primordial Spirit to imitate Lady Yi’s Primordial Spirit power.
At this moment, mysterious lights emerged from the bottle, transmitting multiple pieces of information to Li An!
—Li An did not guess wrong. Yi Lingwei had stored some secret information in the source of the strange demon, which could only be accessed when Lady Yi received it, using the Primordial Spirit power originating from the same lineage as Yi Lingwei.
Yi Lingwei also wanted to bypass Li An to make contact with Lady Yi!
If Li An hadn’t been extremely cautious and hidden this item away, his plan might have been ruined.
At this moment, he read the information on the surface of the strange demon source bottle.
The information on the bottle was a letter written by Yi Lingwei to Lady Yi. In the letter, she expressed her doubts about Li An’s identity. To confirm Li An’s identity, she hoped Lady Yi could use the source of the strange demon to make a sacrifice to the demon pot lid once, to retrieve the legendary "Heaven-Devouring Demon Scripture" from the pot, and hand it to Li An to take back. Only in this way could she be at ease to construct the Immortal Attraction Platform.
Evidently, Li An’s identity was just an excuse; her real purpose was to coerce Lady Yi into making an exchange.
She intended to build the Immortal Attraction Platform for Lady Yi, but she also required certain benefits in return, and the so-called "Heaven-Devouring Demon Scripture" was her goal.
It’s said that the Giant Demon Heaven-Devourer practiced this technique, reigning over the Era of Heaven and the Era of the Strange!
However, whether her purpose was truly just the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill? That is worth pondering.
"Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill... I might as well see what it actually is."
Li An decided to give it a try. After all, since someone provided the sacrificial item, it wouldn’t hurt to look.
Moreover, since Yi Lingwei sent Lady Yi this secret letter, if Li An returned without bringing anything back, she would certainly become suspicious of him.
However, the sacrifice is not now.
