Chapter 310: Chapter 159: Demon Heart Seed Dao_3
Jiang Yiyi suddenly pouted, "How long?"
"About ten years."
Jiang Yiyi’s face immediately fell, and she hugged Chu Xuan reluctantly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll suddenly ascend and return to the Immortal Realm?"
"I’m a little afraid, can you wait for me a bit longer?"
Jiang Yiyi nodded, then whispered into Chu Xuan’s ear, "I’ll tell you a secret, don’t tell anyone~"
"The ’Celestial Fairy Tournament’ I mentioned last time was actually organized by me, and there were only three real participants. The other two are my good friends."
"They voted me as the first place just to make me happy."
Chu Xuan couldn’t help but smile. Was she revealing an "embarrassing incident" just to make him laugh?
He nodded, "Got it, Fairy Lady, are you hungry?"
Saying that, he took out some meat-stuffed pancakes given by the Aqing couple, and Jiang Yiyi started drooling at the sight, nodding repeatedly, pulling the two people beside her to sit down and eat together.
Seeing the satisfied look on this girl’s face as she ate, Chu Xuan felt that these days were better than anything else.
As for Xiao Yue, although a pancake had been stuffed into her hand, she still had a dazed look, lost in the words "Upper Realm True Immortal."
...
"Didn’t I warn you to be careful of that woman? Wasn’t I right?"
In a simple straw hut, a man wearing a black robe, with handsome looks and a cold aura, was sitting upright on a black jade bed, looking at Chu Xuan with a strange smile.
Chu Xuan remained indifferent, only looking at him coldly, "Why are you looking for me?"
Li Xingchuan shook his head and sighed, "Now you won’t even call me ’Brother Li’. Truly, the world is fickle."
Chu Xuan frowned slightly, "Stop making small talk. Surely you didn’t call me here just for a few compliments?"
Li Xingchuan resumed his usual cold demeanor, "It’s nothing, just wanted to have a chat with you."
That made it even more suspicious. Chu Xuan’s mind raced as he silently guessed the man’s intention.
"Do you know which sect I originally came from?"
"Mo Luo Palace," Chu Xuan replied without changing his expression.
Although the sect’s foundational scripture, "Other-Transformed Self-Realization Heavenly Demon Emperor Scripture," was powerful, not many in the sect practiced it. Usually, only the Sect Leader’s faction practiced it.
This was because the higher one cultivated in it, the closer one got to becoming a Celestial Demon. It was practically a sinister technique for transforming from a "human" to a "Celestial Demon." Even demonic cultivators found it hard to master, and few dared to practice it.
A mistake during cultivation could easily lead to being devoured by Outer Celestial Demons and losing oneself.
The Blood Robe Old Monster who once hunted Chu Xuan practiced the "Blood Spirit Scripture."
The Li Xingchuan standing before him likely didn’t practice the "Demon Emperor Scripture," otherwise Floating Cloud Master would never accept such a fundamentally tainted "monster."
Li Xingchuan nodded, "Mo Luo Palace is truly a beastly place. I grew up cultivating there, witnessing countless acts of cruelty and violence, my hands stained with blood."
"I’ve heard about how you were chased by the Blood Robe Old Monster, Deng Qiu’en, in the secret realm. He was truly lucky to have stumbled upon the ’Blood Spirit Scripture’ by chance during the third righteous and demonic war."
"You should know that the battlefield had long been searched over and over by countless cultivators. Deng Qiu’en was just a small Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator at the time. I wonder where he got such dumb luck."
"Why don’t I have such luck? Just because I was born a little later?" Li Xingchuan’s tone was filled with resentment and sarcasm.
Chu Xuan frowned slightly, unsure of the point of this sudden mention. Surely it wasn’t just to find someone to rant to?
"What I practice is not the ’Demon Emperor Scripture,’ but rather the ’Demon Heart Sowing Dao Technique’ my venerable master painstakingly taught me."
"Master was truly kind to me~" Li Xingchuan said reminiscently, his expression filled with nostalgia.
"I was originally just an orphan. He took me in, fed and clothed me, taught me cultivation and the ways of the world, the principle of the survival of the fittest."
"In a dangerous place like Mo Luo Palace, he protected me, using his name to deter other disciples. Otherwise, I would have long been captured and either consumed or refined into a treasure or medicine."
"Since Master was so good to me, I should definitely repay him once I grew up, right?"
"At least, that’s what he thought. So when I reached the stage of Golden Core Stage consummation and was about to reach the ’core-breaking-and-baby-forming’ moment, the life-ending Master seized my Dao foundation, body, and spirit."
"Master said this was the true essence of the ’Demon Heart Sowing Dao Technique.’ He laughed with great pleasure, saying he had carefully prepared this plan from the start and asked me not to hate him."
"I’m not a fool. After years of interaction, I had long suspected the truth."
"But I was powerless because Master was much stronger than me. If I didn’t follow his instructions, I would face a fate worse than death."
"This time, whether I repay the favor or not, I had to." Li Xingchuan revealed a sarcastic smile.
"But in the end, he died, and I survived. Do you know why?"
Chu Xuan was puzzled, "Was there a third-party intervention?"
Li Xingchuan shook his head, "No, he misunderstood."
He couldn’t help laughing, "How pitiful! That old fool actually misunderstood the scripture’s meaning."
"He originally cultivated the ’Demon Emperor Scripture.’ Had he just let me cultivate the ’Demon Emperor Scripture’ as well, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. But no, he sought the power of this technique."
"The so-called ’Demon Heart Sowing Dao’ originally meant cultivating demonic arts first, then implanting a Dao seed, reaching great achievement through dual cultivation of demonic and immortal paths!"
"But my master interpreted it as him being the ’Demon Heart’ and me the ’Dao seed.’
"When I broke through, he transformed into the ’Demon Heart’ and implanted into me as the ’Dao seed,’ thus achieving the technique."
"So you see, people should read more books, or rather, conduct more experiments."
"The scriptures are esoteric and difficult to understand, without even a commentary. If I hadn’t practiced it myself, I wouldn’t have known this was its true meaning."
"My master’s mistake was not finding me a junior brother or sister."
"Otherwise, during cultivation, questioning each other’s progress and insights, we couldn’t hide the mysteries from him, and he wouldn’t have met such an end."
