The normal method of body forging in the demon realm began with secret techniques to temper the physique, gradually increasing one’s physical strength. But the Mo Lin Tian (Demon Skies Convergence) technique was different. It did not rely on any method to toughen the body; instead, it involved sensing the flow of demonic energy through heaven and earth. Using one’s own body as a medium and demon qi as veins, the cultivator united with the energy of the world, becoming one with the entire demon realm!
When Ye Yu first saw this cultivation method, he thought its creator must be a madman. He wanted to throw the manual away at once. Then he reconsidered—madness or not, geniuses often worked like lunatics, blazing new trails! Besides, if Mo Gei Lian could practice this technique without going insane, Ye Yu should be fine too. So he decided to give it a try.
Upon reaching the thirty-seventh cycle, he had achieved minor mastery of Mo Lin Tian. Ye Yu’s physique grew by leaps and bounds. Only then did he realize that this really was a proper body-forging technique. This was why he had stayed in the Chi Mo Hall for so long: over half a month, he had read the manual eight hundred times. At last, he had cultivated it to perfection!
Although he only possessed Celestial Demon Realm cultivation at present, his body could now withstand any attack below the mid-grade Yao Xian device level. It was a simple matter for him to shatter a Xuan Mo body with a single palm. His physical strength was exponentially greater than before; he truly believed this was the strongest body-forging method in the demon realm. Moreover, he comprehended the true meaning of the dream-born talent bestowed by this technique! Heaven rewards diligence had proven overwhelmingly powerful! No matter the task, effort would yield results, regardless of innate talent, environment, or external forces. As long as one dared to try, Heaven rewards diligence would guarantee success. It was practically a broken talent—overpowered to an unfair degree!
Now that his physique was at its peak, his next thought was how to rapidly raise his cultivation level. As Ye Yu pondered, a hearty voice rang from outside the hall. “Hey, big brother!” Looking up, he saw a burly young man striding in—none other than Mo Gei Lian himself! Ever since Ye Yu had guided him, his cultivation had taken off: in just half a month, he soared from the late Demon King Realm to the pinnacle of the Demon Lord Realm, and every scrap of excess fat had vanished. He was now, truly, a model man.
Reborn, Mo Gei Lian began calling Ye Yu “big brother.” In his words, “You saved my life like a parent. If you don’t mind, I’d be honored to take you as my sworn father.” Didn’t want that? Thought that sounded old-fashioned? “Then it has to be ‘big brother’!” he declared. “Big brother, big brother, I feel my body’s even stronger today. Sometimes I really feel I might be the one-in-ten-thousand genius of the demon realm!” As he spoke, he flexed his newly defined muscles.
Ye Yu couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile. Mo Gei Lian was always so full of himself at the slightest accomplishment. He would teach such demons what it meant to have someone stronger above them! Ye Yu beckoned to Mo Gei Lian, who, puzzled, stepped forward. “Big brother, what’s up?”
Without a word, Ye Yu placed a single finger on Mo Gei Lian’s chest, marked the spot, and thrust out his palm! Whoosh! A gust of wind swept the hall. Mo Gei Lian was sent flying, crashing through a dozen walls before finally stopping, a palm-shaped dent pressed into his chest!
It looked terrifying, yet Mo Gei Lian soon stood up. Though he coughed, he was unharmed. In mere breaths, the chest dent had nearly vanished! This was the horror of the Mo Lin Tian technique—an unimaginable restorative power that adapted to intense combat.
Soon, Mo Gei Lian returned to the hall, aggrieved: “Big brother, next time could you tell me before you strike? You caught me totally off guard!” Ye Yu said coolly, “If you’d stop bragging, you wouldn’t be taken by surprise!” Mo Gei Lian smirked ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) but was not truly angry; he knew that Ye Yu had held back, or else the result would not have been so mild.
Ye Yu picked up the Mo Lin Tian manual and placed it before Mo Gei Lian. “I’ve never asked—where did you get this manual?” Mo Gei Lian looked around and whispered, “Don’t tell anyone, okay? I dug it up from my family’s ancestral tomb.” Ye Yu raised an eyebrow, giving him a once-over. Of course the demon realm had ruthless types—raiding one’s own ancestors’ tomb. Doesn’t it scare you that your ancestor might be restless in the Netherworld? And all that talk of ancestral blessings—forget it. Your ancestor must hate you to bits!
Seeing Ye Yu’s absurd expression, Mo Gei Lian hurried to explain, “Big brother, listen—it wasn’t that kind of digging, it was a different kind of digging!” Then he began recounting his childhood. He was born into the Path of Demons sect called Gui Zang Dian, co-founded by his parents and the sect leader, so his parents naturally became high elders. He grew up with no want of food or clothing, living in bliss—until things changed.
At fifteen, his parents must have sensed danger; they sent him from You Bei Zhou to their old home in Lian Hua State. Mo Gei Lian couldn’t understand why. His Lian Hua State home was a backward demon-path village, incomparable to You Bei Zhou. He wanted to return to Gui Zang Dian—where the senior sisters were beautiful and spoke so pleasingly. But three months later, he received tragic news...
