Chapter 336: Chapter 183: Traps Within the Blood Corpse Mushroom, Feng Jue’s Understanding

Its name is Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique.

A moment later, Wen Jiu found the soul memory related to this technique within the soul memory of the Demon Soul. It was another secret technique of the Blood Demon Sect, different from the Yin Demon Seed Wen Jiu discovered earlier at Celestial Extinction Mountain.

The Yin Demon Seed is about transforming others into one’s own resources to strengthen oneself, but the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique is the Blood Demon Sect’s method of nurturing demons, or it could be called Demon Transformation. The so-called nurturing demons and transforming into demons have only one purpose, which is for the cultivator to transform into a demon and completely lose oneself. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

This technique is quite special, and even within the Blood Demon Sect, it is forbidden to exist. Although it was created by a Golden Core Zhenren who fell from grace within the Demon Dao, only a handful of demon cultivators practice it.

Because this technique is harmful to others without benefiting oneself, it is only used for destruction. For example, when faced with a stronger force, the Blood Demon Sect uses disguise to send this technique into the enemy’s body.

Even Golden Core cultivators find it hard to detect it. Over time, the cultivator becomes increasingly powerful but also loses oneself in the process, gradually transforming into a demon body and ultimately evolving into a True Demon. A True Demon who has no self or reason, only knows killing.

By then, no matter how strong you are, you’re no longer human, and to kill a mindless True Demon, the Blood Demon Sect has its ways. Thus, the Blood Demon Sect can defeat strength with weakness.

It just takes time, but for a Golden Core Zhenren, waiting for a hundred or two hundred years is something everyone can endure.

"This..."

Looking at the information in the soul memory of the Demon Soul, Wen Jiu hesitated and quickly instructed East Spring Undying Bone to wipe away that strand of demonic qi. Then, when looking at East Spring Undying Bone’s panel, the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique also disappeared.

"These demon cultivators, each is pure Old Six." Wen Jiu was speechless, "But if what the transmission said is true, the Sect Leader of the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect wants to use the Blood Corpse Mushroom to replace a special item and achieve Daoist Golden Core, it means he is not a demon cultivator... The person behind this technique hidden in the Blood Corpse Mushroom is the demon cultivator."

Previously, he had wanted to ask the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect about the special item for Heterodox Golden Core.

Now it seems.

Increasing one’s cultivation level, then finding a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator to soul search, should reveal everything.

...

Understanding the truth about the demonic qi, Wen Jiu also refined all the remaining Tier One Top Grade Corpse Mushrooms.

Harvesting ten Tier Two Lower Grade Corpse Mushrooms yields 5000 points of corpse nurturing experience, while seventy Tier One Top Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms yield 3500 corpse nurturing experience, equivalent to East Spring Undying Bone’s normal corpse nurturing in Little Demon Realm for 708 days, nearly two years.

"With the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi present, we can pretend not to know about the Outer Demonic Pregnancy Demon True Technique and continue to purchase Blood Corpse Mushrooms from the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect." Closing the panel, Wen Jiu’s mood, which was depressed from being manipulated by demon cultivators like Old Six, improved greatly.

If it weren’t for the journey to the Celestial Extinction Ruins, without obtaining the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi, he would have been tricked this time.

The Heterodox Dao is so sinister.

The Demon Dao is even more sinister.

Still pure Old Six.

It truly leaves one speechless.

Such forces and such people, fortunately, are not tolerated by the heavens, otherwise, this world would have long been dominated by them.

...

Days pass.

Wen Jiu continuously pondered over the crossing tribulation location for the Demon Corpse, and both the Far South and the Far West are unsuitable.

Hence, he can only head north.

Just as the location was confirmed, Feng Jue, at this moment, excitedly leapt up in his cave mansion.

"Senior, I succeeded!"

"With your extraction technique’s assistance, I’ve completely obtained the spores of the Blood Corpse Mushroom. From today, I can rely on the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect’s cultivation method, coupled with your extraction technique, to continually cultivate Corpse Mushrooms, whether for cultivation or selling, it greatly benefits me!"

Feng Jue was immensely excited, continually observing the dark-colored Corpse Mushroom spores wrapped in magical power.

At this moment, a similarly joyful voice appeared in Feng Jue’s mind, "You lack a technique for assistance, which Chen Li’s wife Wang Xin possesses. Kill her and take the technique, then you can steadily cultivate Corpse Mushrooms, cultivate to Foundation Establishment Perfection, and then with the assistance of Wusheng Three Gates, you can achieve the Heterodox Golden Core, and roam freely between heaven and earth."

"Senior, killing Wang Xin for the technique is the inferior choice, and I need Chen Li to refine the Barrier-Breaking Pill for me, but with some exchange, she will probably not refuse." Feng Jue immediately searched through his storage bag, and after a moment took out a set of Tier Two Top Grade incomplete Yin Alchemy Master’s inheritance.

Even though it’s incomplete, even if it’s just the Tier Two Middle-grade Yin Alchemist’s inheritance, it’s still greatly beneficial to a Tier Two Yin Alchemist.

Because regardless of the alchemical technique, each has its strengths and weaknesses, and acquiring another Yin Alchemist’s inheritance, even if it doesn’t help Chen Li advance to top grade, can at least improve his skills.

Middle grade is already like that, the effect of the incomplete top grade would be even better.

"It’s really troublesome, now that you’ve practiced the Heartless Blood Pill Technique, it’s better to just kill straightforwardly." The voice in the brain appeared again, with a bit of impatience.

Feng Jue continued to speak, "Senior, my heartlessness is only for seeking the Dao, whoever blocks me, whoever is a hindrance, I shall kill or forsake them."

"It’s really troublesome, the old man is still waiting for you to achieve Daoist Golden Core to reshape my body."

"Senior, rest assured, that day will certainly not be far. Whoever obstructs my Daoist Golden Core, they shall die."

"Alright, hurry up and go to exchange. Oh, by the way, consider my suggestion again, Han Li undoubtedly carries significant opportunities, if you manage to kill and seize him, you’ll surely ascend to greater heights."

"Senior, don’t mention it again, Han Li is unfathomable, his origins even more mysterious, even Wusheng Three Gates’ Foundation Establishment cultivators with life tactics cannot spy on him at all, such an existence is not ordinary, it’s better to be friends... Besides, Han Li, though overly shrewd and cautious, isn’t the same type, but is indeed trustworthy, and he’s the only one I can trust now."

"Wusheng Three Gates’ life tactics can’t spy on him, meaning that guy’s skills aren’t great, and Wusheng Three Gates’ life tactics are just like that, faced with slightly significant origins, it costs a lot of lifespan, such divination techniques not being able to calculate is quite normal, didn’t they also fail to calculate the old man?"

"Senior, don’t bring it up again."

Feng Jue spoke resolutely, no longer responding to the voice in his mind and headed straight for Chen Li’s couple’s cave mansion.

...

After two days of deliberation, and also through inquiries from the Eastern Celestial City, Wen Jiu decided to set the crossing tribulation location for Blood Demon Undying Bone in the Far North, while also staying away from the Far West and Far South.

Through cautious inquiries at the Eastern Celestial City, there are only three Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators guarding the Far North.

Perhaps due to the Celestial Extinction Ruins incident, or having received some winds, thus the Far South, with Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, houses the most Foundation Establishment cultivators, even Deadman Peak has had one Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed.

From the Far South to the Innate Death Land of the Far North, separated by thousands of miles, even Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators need a day’s time, a day’s time is enough for the Demon Corpse to cross the tribulation and then follow East Spring Undying Bone back.

With East Spring Undying Bone, there’s no worry about unexpected events, the greatest danger is always crossing the tribulation itself.

Though East Spring Undying Bone and Three Thousand Blood Inks are now brimming with corpse qi, assisting the Demon Corpse in crossing the tribulation should not be an issue.

Soon, after one day, the Demon Corpse successfully fused with Wen Jiu, and Wen Jiu simultaneously elevated Blood Corpse Escape.

Consuming 500 True Spirit Demon Race corpse qi, gaining 1000 points experience successfully elevating Blood Corpse Escape to the third level.

The escape technique distance increased to thirty miles.

Corpse qi consumption doubled, but for East Spring Undying Bone now, it’s nothing at all, forcibly using it five or six times only depletes one-tenth of corpse qi, unhurt.

As for why not continue elevating further, it’s because there’s not enough corpse qi.

Little Demon Realm’s corpse nurturing is good, but corpse qi can’t be freeloaded. But it’s not urgent, there’s time to find a way.

"Before Foundation Establishment, mixing in Ten Thousand Demon Abyss is sufficient, but after Foundation Establishment, truly lacks everything. Finding a perfect cultivation environment, a place to freeload blood essence, corpse qi, and death qi, is really hard."

"Looks like I have to go further out because, even though Wusheng Three Gates overturned it, those Innate Death Lands will still be controlled by them because resources in the Divine Fall Mountain Range are really limited."

After expressing his sentiments, Wen Jiu then controlled East Spring Undying Bone, Three Thousand Blood Inks, and the Demon Corpse towards the Far North.

Circling from the mortal world.

Though it would take more days, it’s safe.

Couldn’t make up today, will surely compensate for yesterday’s update tomorrow.]
