Chapter 200: Primordial Fiend Seed-Demon True Scripture

Morning mist hung like smoke as the rising sun ascended in the east.

On Moon-Gazing Island, Qin Ming held the black iron shard that had fallen from the demonic vine, studying it continuously for over three months.

Finally, under the relentless wear and tear of his powerful divine sense, he successfully penetrated the iron surface.

The moment Qin Ming's divine sense entered the black iron shard,

a vast and chaotic torrent of information surged into his mind, wave upon wave.

When he recovered his wits, he discovered that the shard recorded nothing less than a top-tier demonic technique named the "Primordial Fiend Seed-Demon True Scripture."

This demonic technique belonged to the ceiling level of the demonic sects; its various methods and secret formulas encompassed everything, such as the "Yin Fiend Asura Hand," "Blood Refining Palm," "Blood Refining Heaven and Earth," and "Blood Pool Technique"—each one a terrifyingly powerful, cruel, and domineering demonic method.

It even included top-tier techniques for cultivating demonic bodies, such as the "Heavenly Fiend True Demon Body" and the "Nether Netherworld Heavenly Corpse Art."

Qin Ming naturally had no intention of cultivating this demonic technique; doing so would truly make him a demonic cultivator hunted by everyone.

He would basically find no place to stand in the Wei State Immortal Realm.

However, two secret arts within the "Primordial Fiend Seed-Demon True Scripture" sparked great interest in Qin Ming.

One secret art, named 'Blood Escape Technique,' allowed one to burn one's own vital energy to push flight speed to the extreme, even several times faster than his current 'Fleeting Light and Shadow Technique.'

Cultivated to the deepest level, it could even achieve 'Blood Escape Through the Void,' transforming into a blood shadow and instantly shifting hundreds of miles away.

It was an essential, excellent technique for staying home, traveling, preserving one's life, and fleeing!

Even without reaching the deepest realm, if unleashed with full force, the Blood Escape could nearly match the speed of a Jin Dan Yunxi Laozu.

This secret art leaned toward blood-path techniques, placing extremely high demands on a cultivator's vital energy strength.

However, for Qin Ming, this was naturally no problem at all.

The other secret art, called 'True Demon Illusory Image,' served as a powerful demonic illusion technique; cultivating it required a powerful divine soul as a foundation, otherwise, not only would it be difficult to refine, but there would also be the danger of qi deviation and collapse.

'True Demon Illusory Image' could not only cast illusions upon oneself to alter one's form and disguise as anyone,

but when cultivated to an advanced realm, it could even simultaneously conjure three 'Demonic Shadow Illusions,' making truth and falsehood indistinguishable.

Even more sharp was that this technique could block detection from cultivators a whole major realm higher than oneself.

Furthermore, the stronger the cultivator's own divine soul, the better the effect of the True Demon Illusory Image.

With Qin Ming's current powerful divine soul, he could even deceive the divine sense detection of a Jin Dan Yunxi Laozu.

"This technique is wonderful! Truly incomparably marvelous!" Qin Ming praised endlessly, clapping his hands with a laugh.

"If I learn this 'True Demon Illusory Image,' I won't need to gulp down Hundred Illusion Pills every day when going out in the future."

"Moreover, whether in terms of casting effect or practical combat utility, this technique is extremely sharp."

Just imagine: when fighting an enemy, suddenly three demonic shadow clones appear, utterly indistinguishable from the real one; that alone is a major killing move.

"According to the introduction in the demonic scripture, cultivating this art also requires practicing an extremely vicious soul-devouring secret method to assist in strengthening divine soul power, thereby meeting the conditions for cultivating 'True Demon Illusory Image.'"

"The soul-devouring secret method requires constantly extracting and devouring the divine souls of other cultivators to strengthen one's own divine soul; it is not only vicious and cruel but also carries huge hidden risks."

"After all, devouring too many divine souls easily breeds heart demons; once they completely escape one's control, they can easily cause the divine soul to become inverted and chaotic, causing one to fall completely into the demonic path with no way to extricate oneself."

"But I have the 【Soul Power Crystal】 trait; as long as it refreshes, I can continuously strengthen my soul power without any dangerous side effects—it is simply tailor-made for me!"

"This technique is indeed worth cultivating."

These two secret arts truly made Qin Ming's eyes light up.

As for the core technique of this "Primordial Fiend Seed-Demon True Scripture," it was a pig-farming style demonic art that could plant a 'demonic seed' in cultivators practicing demonic techniques.

When the demonic seed bloomed and bore fruit, one could use this seed to 'pluck' the fruits of the other's cultivation anytime, anywhere.

This demonic technique could not only seize Foundation Establishment cultivation but even usurp Jin Dan cultivation.

A hundred years of cultivation lost in an instant, merely working as a tailor for others—the thought alone was terrifying.

"Such a demonic technique is truly horrifying; I wonder what kind of person created it."

"If this demonic scripture were released, not only would those Modao Sect factions fight tooth and nail for it, but even righteous cultivators would likely struggle to resist its temptation." Fortunately, Qin Ming had a golden finger like his traits, so he didn't need to risk cultivating the core Seed-Demon Scripture.

Merely dabbling in cultivating the two secret arts posed no major problem.

In the days that followed,

Qin Ming began cultivating according to the two secret arts.

The Blood Escape Technique and the True Demon Illusory Image involved the use of vital energy power and divine soul power, respectively.

They did not involve issues regarding the nature of magic power.

Unlike other secret methods in the demonic scripture, which required demonic magic power as a foundation to cultivate.

Such secret methods, Qin Ming merely glanced at and dismissed.

Three months later.

Behind the main peak of Moon-Gazing Island.

A crimson blood shadow darted through the air, vanishing from its spot in the blink of an eye.

Shortly after, the air ten miles away twisted, and the blood shadow transformed by Qin Ming appeared in a bizarre manner.

"Blood Escape Through the Void, finally refined!"

"However, this secret art consumes vital energy far beyond my imagination; even with my currently extremely robust vital energy true gang, I can at most unleash it three times before hitting my limit."

"Unless I store up some 【Vital Energy Crystal】 traits, which would allow me to perform it a few more times."

"Otherwise, overdrawing too much vital energy could damage one's foundation and shorten one's lifespan, which wouldn't be worth it."

After achieving great success in the Blood Escape Technique,

Qin Ming began researching the 'Heavenly Demon Illusory Image'; for over half a month, he pondered the mental cultivation methods and oral formulas, ensuring every step was foolproof.

Techniques involving the divine soul level must be handled with extreme caution; if something went wrong and he ended up refined into an idiot, that would be a farce indeed.

Inside the cave dwelling, Qin Ming closed his eyes slightly, gazing inward at his sea of consciousness.

Within the vast, boundless, misty sea of consciousness.

With divine sense comparable to that of a False Core stage cultivator, Qin Ming followed the steps outlined in the Demonic Scripture, tracing various talismanic symbols along certain profound trajectories.

Three days and three nights passed.

As time elapsed, Qin Ming expended immense power of his divine soul; within his sea of consciousness, three dark talismans drawn with soul power were now fully constructed, floating quietly therein.

When not activating the 'True Demonic Illusory Image,' these three talismans could remain within the sea of consciousness, nurtured by soul power.

Qin Ming immediately touched one of the dark talismans with his divine sense while simultaneously conjuring an image in his mind.

A swirl of profound-colored radiance flashed over Qin Ming, and instantly, his entire form transformed into a burly, bearded giant of a man.

Compared to consuming a Hundred Illusions Pill, this transformation was far more vivid in both demeanor and detail, appearing utterly real.

Qin Ming then successively touched the other two dark talismans.

Two burly, bearded giants, identical in aura, materialized out of thin air beside him; moreover, using the Art of Splitting Spirit and Dividing Thought, Qin Ming could effortlessly control the movements of both demonic illusory images simultaneously.

The three burly, bearded giants looked fierce and menacing; they could even manifest the spells cast by the original body, achieving a level of deception absolutely indistinguishable from reality.

After practicing the 'True Demonic Illusory Image' for a while, Qin Ming withdrew the secret technique and rubbed his head with his hand to alleviate the exhaustion caused by overexerting his divine soul power.

"With my current level of divine soul strength, I cannot sustain using all three dark talismans to project illusions simultaneously."

"If I only project a single illusion, however, I can maintain it for a very long time."
