Chapter 311: Chapter 160: May Everyone Be Like Dragons
Chu Xuan still didn’t understand, "What’s the use of telling me all this?"
"Don’t rush, listen to me finish." Li Xingchuan seemed to be very interested today.
"My cultivation technique, when breaking through the fourth realm, faces a life-and-death barrier that requires solidifying the Demon Heart Method Body to have a chance to pass."
"My ’kind-hearted’ master was intent on taking over my body, so I simply gave up resisting and let him face this life-and-death barrier."
"But he misunderstood the scripture, how could he possibly get through, instead he was devoured by this body of mine, turning into nourishment for my cultivation path."
"Once the master died and the Demon Heart Method Body was about to collapse, I regained control of the body and fully charged through, thanks to his assistance, I managed to form my nascent soul and break into the fourth realm."
Li Xingchuan still had a hint of excitement in his eyes when he spoke of this matter, "Although I succeeded in crossing this major tribulation, I don’t dare to be the least bit relaxed or careless."
"Before the high-ups of the Mo Luo Palace, I still have to pretend to be my master, as if he had successfully taken over."
"Only when facing those outsiders who don’t know can I show myself as Li Xingchuan."
"That period was also my most difficult time, like dancing on the tip of a knife, trembling in fear of being exposed and dying horribly in an instant."
Chu Xuan pondered, "Why the disguise? Are you worried the sect leaders will retaliate against you once they find out?"
"No, no, no," Li Xingchuan waved his hand, "Everyone in Mo Luo Palace is selfish, only interested in transactions of interest, once my master died, there’s no one to avenge him."
"The main issue is that my master’s actions were too obvious, anyone with eyes would see he was targeting his own disciple."
"And yet, in the end, my master died?? Wouldn’t that make me suspicious?"
"The palace leaders would be very curious about how I turned the tables, they don’t even know the existence of the ’Demon Heart Sowing Dao Technique’. "
"When they discover such a unique cultivation technique, do you think they won’t be tempted? Then I would only be moved from being the plaything of one leader to another."
"Plus, without my master as a backing, I was only a fourth realm cultivator at the time, though considered a backbone, wouldn’t be sacrificed recklessly, but still lived under the shadow of those high-ups."
"If they see me as the master instead, it’s different, at least I’d be seen as someone qualified to sit at the table, not a dog begging for scraps under it."
"In the continuous schemes and life-and-death training year after year, I raised my cultivation to the sixth realm and made quite a name as the ’Ice Sea Demon Monarch’."
"Actually, by that stage, some of the sect leaders already noticed discrepancies, like that unfathomable Palace Master."
"But it doesn’t matter, as long as I can show enough value or cooperation brings benefits, whether I’m Li Xingchuan or someone else, they don’t care."
"Originally, without accidents, I would’ve continued to cultivate in Mo Luo Palace, as for leaving the sect and being carefree, don’t even think about it before breaking into the Life and Death Three Profound Realms."
"Moreover..." Li Xingchuan’s expression grew complex, "I don’t know if you’ve had such an experience, when you’ve stayed in a dark, sunless place for a long time, even if you have the ability to step out, you become hesitant."
"Because you’ve grown accustomed to the original environment, no matter how harsh, twisted, or abnormal it is."
"Ultimately, what pushed me out wasn’t external crisis, but this damn cultivation technique!"
"I don’t deny it’s very powerful, but each breakthrough is like passing through the gate of hell, and to go from the Divinity Transformation stage to the Integration stage, I must complete the ’Demon Heart Seed Dao’ process."
"Which means I need to cultivate an orthodox Daoist cultivation technique from scratch, to form a pure ’Dao Seed’."
"Once the Dao Seed is planted into the Demon Heart, I can naturally break into the seventh realm."
When Chu Xuan heard up to this point, he was slightly surprised, is this why Li Xingchuan wanted to join the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace?
But why would he reveal such a major secret to him?
"Originally I didn’t intend to rely on the righteous path, but according to the great technique, the compatible Daoist method must meet specific requirements."
"First, the grade can’t be low, if it can’t form a balance with the ’Demon Heart Sowing Dao Technique’, not only does seeding fail, but leads to death and soul destruction as well."
"Secondly, the best choice would be a cultivation technique focused primarily on temperament training."
"Because the great technique demands extremely high willpower from the cultivator, if temperament isn’t firm, the mind isn’t clear, it’s easy to become possessed, fantasize illusions, and ultimately ends in death."
"I thought over and over, excluded many options, and found that the most suitable was the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace’s ’Eternal Green Lotus Technique’."
"This cultivation method is neutral and harmonious, focuses on temperament, and can minimize the negative impacts of cultivating both demon and Dao techniques."
"But as a demon monarch, obtaining this cultivation method is as difficult as ascending to the heavens, it’s not something you can get by just soul-searching any Daoist Palace disciple."
"So in the end, after much deliberation, I simply came and kneeled outside the Daoist Palace mountain gate, claiming to repent and revert to the righteous path."
"This move wasn’t impulsive but thought-through before acting."
"Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace, while hating evil like the rest of the righteous path, doesn’t indiscriminately kill demon cultivators like other sects such as Zichen, which don’t even give a chance to explain."
"Furthermore, I’ve long heard that the contemporary teaching elder of the Dao Palace, Floating Cloud, is amiable, values destiny, and treats demons and outsiders equally without bias."
