The Demon with Holy Radiance-Chapter 81 - 77: To Take Them Out, Target Jinlong City

Chapter 81: Chapter 77: To Take Them Out, Target Jinlong City

Yang An gently pushed the door open and glanced outside. Several Corpse Slaves were still holding the main entrance firmly shut.

"Second Senior Brother, is Eleventh Senior Brother really dead?"

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe it, but he hadn’t actually seen how Pi Chu died, so he couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Are you joking, Junior Brother? You’re the one who killed him. Don’t tell me you don’t know?"

Fu Ming asked with a smile.

’Looks like he’s really dead,’ Yang An thought. He immediately had the Corpse Slaves open the main entrance and let his Second Senior Brother in.

As Fu Ming entered the residence, coughing, Yang An scrutinized him. He could see no signs that his senior brother had been replaced.

"Please, come in, Senior Brother. Forgive my poor reception."

As he ushered his Second Senior Brother into the house, Yang An finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

’Looks like I really was being overly cautious this time.’

The main reason was that when he’d faced Pi Chu, he had felt such an intense threat that he’d unleashed every Technique he knew in an instant, without a shred of control.

He had been in such a tense state that he hadn’t even noticed the exact moment Pi Chu died.

After all, how could he have known that Pi Chu, a Primordial Feeding Realm Cultivator, would shatter at a touch and die so quickly.

It seemed that by unleashing so many Light Magic Techniques at once, their combined power was terrifyingly lethal to both Cultivators and Demon Fiends.

After all, there was a whole Great Realm between his Cultivation Level and Pi Chu’s, yet he had managed to kill him instantly.

This just went to show that he was on the right path.

But if he wasn’t careful, he wouldn’t even know what killed him in a world like this.

After all, this world was full of strange things. If an opponent had a hidden ace to play at the last moment, he’d be the one to die.

This was the first time Yang An had gotten a preliminary grasp of his own strength, but he knew he still had to be cautious and could never let his guard down.

"This is the Cultivation Technique for the Early and Middle Stages of the Primordial Feeding Realm."

Fu Ming got straight to the point, handing two Scrolls to Yang An, who immediately took them.

Mystic Path Decoded: [Partially Missing] [Reaches the Fourth Understanding of Primordial Feeding] Sourced from the Earth Spirit Stele, passed down through the Life Crane Sect lineage. One Realm, Three Understandings; one understanding, one technique. Miaofa Entwined, Melt Dao Ascension.

...

Mystic Path Decoded: [Partially Missing] [Reaches the Five Understandings of Primordial Feeding] Sourced from the Earth Spirit Stele...

’It’s not the complete set for the three Small Realms—Early, Middle, and Late Stage—of the Primordial Feeding Realm?’

Yang An held the Scrolls, confirming that the Cultivation Technique was authentic, but a question formed in his mind.

He had assumed the Cultivation Technique Pi Chu possessed would cover the entire Primordial Feeding Realm. Instead, it only contained the Fourth and Fifth Understandings, allowing him to cultivate only to the Middle Stage of the Primordial Feeding Realm.

That meant Pi Chu’s Cultivation Level was at the Middle Stage of the Primordial Feeding Realm.

’Does that mean the Cultivation Technique for the Late Stage of the Primordial Feeding Realm is in the hands of Tenth Senior Brother or Senior Sister Wen Yin?’

He still remembered back on Sansong Mountain when Jing Yan Daoist had clashed with Senior Sister Wen Yin. The Daoist had been shocked to discover she was also a Cultivator at the Late Stage of the Primordial Feeding Realm.

As for this Tenth Senior Brother, Yang An didn’t know him.

As if guessing what was on Yang An’s mind, Fu Ming explained,

"The Cultivation Technique for the Late Stage of the Primordial Feeding Realm is in the hands of your Tenth Senior Brother, Xuan Kang!"

"What about Senior Sister Wen Yin? Doesn’t she have the subsequent Cultivation Technique?"

"Third Junior Sister You Hong’Er and Twelfth Junior Sister Wen Yin are exceptions. They don’t cultivate the same Technique as the rest of us, so they aren’t part of the competition for it."

"I see."

Yang An nodded. No wonder he had never seen Senior Sister Wen Yin use the Lighting Technique when they were out on assignments together. It all made sense now.

"From this day forward, Junior Brother, you are the Master’s eleventh disciple. Junior Brother Pi Chu’s former Sacrificial Powers will now be transferred to you. This is the Gua Order. Just find some time to make a trip and complete the handover."

After handing the Cultivation Technique to Yang An, Fu Ming produced a triangular metal token from his sleeve and passed it over.

Yang An took the Gua Order. He couldn’t tell what it was made of; it was so light it felt almost weightless in his hand.

At the same time, a text box popped into view before his eyes.

[Gua Order: Eleven]: Forged from Earth Element Stone and the Blood of the Yin Crane. Created by Elder Life Crane of the Life Crane Sect. Possession of this item signifies the bearer’s status as a Direct Disciple of Elder Life Crane. Can be used to control Earth Worms.

Cost of Use: Upon binding, the user will experience slight interference from the Yin Crane’s aura.

Status: Purifiable!

"This was originally the Gua Order for the Thirteenth Disciple, prepared for you. But since you killed Junior Brother Pi Chu, it has been changed to the Gua Order for the Eleventh Disciple."

"Within a radius of several hundred li, there are many smaller sects and factions that are subservient to our Life Crane Sect. They provide us with tribute in exchange for our protection."

"Fifty percent of the resources from this tribute must be handed over to the Sect. You are free to do with the remainder as you wish."

"The Sacrificial Power that Junior Brother Pi Chu was previously in charge of is in Jinlong City, six hundred li away. From now on, you will be the one to take it over.

Additionally, aside from taking over Pi Chu’s Sacrificial Power, in your original capacity as the Thirteenth Disciple, you may also choose one more. Here is a list of available Sacrificial Powers to choose from."

Fu Ming then handed a register to Yang An.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Yang An accepted all the items. They were his spoils of victory, but he couldn’t bring himself to feel happy.

Although he had killed his Eleventh Senior Brother and obtained the Cultivation Technique for the Early and Middle Stages of the Primordial Feeding Realm, he knew that once his Cultivation Level reached the technique’s limit, he would have to face his Tenth Senior Brother, Xuan Kang.
