Chapter 399

Meng Zhangqing was surprised.

He knew the difficulty of cultivating this technique was extremely high, and those who could master it were exceedingly rare, but it should not be limited to just one person.

"Cultivating this demonic art requires a demon-suppressing object, and such an object is too heaven-defying, so in an era, only one exists, which counts as a restriction from the unseen Heavenly Dao."

"Otherwise, the demon race would have been wiped out long ago."

Xi Yingqing came before Meng Zhangqing, a smile appearing on his face, "I did not expect that you not only obtained the supreme art of the demon sect, but also found the demon-suppressing object; truly, your fortune is flourishing!"

"So that is how it is."

Meng Zhangqing understood.

This was something he did not know.

"That level-six heavenly demon just now, you must have refined it."

Xi Yingqing asked.

"Mm."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

"That is good; the qi of a proper level-six heavenly demon is enough to cultivate to the peak of the Divine Connection Realm."

Xi Yingqing said.

"Inside this ring is the heavenly demon qi I collected; there should be thirty or forty thousand threads, though most are level-one or level-two, but for the disciples of the Zong Sect, it will still be of great use."

Meng Zhangqing took out a storage ring and handed it to Xi Yingqing.

This was his original plan.

To see if he could use this to improve his favorability with the Zhang Sect.

The True Demon Art was also in the plan, but since the Zhang Sect said so, there was no need to bring it out; anyway, in this era, no one could cultivate it anymore.

Bringing it out held little significance.

He had obtained this technique only by acquiring a card.

Otherwise, the sole one of this era.

Would be Bai Suxi!

"You are thoughtful."

Seeing this, a look of gratification immediately appeared in Xi Yingqing's eyes.

At least from this point, this junior brother still has the Zong Sect in his heart.

Even if I perish in the future.

The Zong Sect can endure eternally in the hands of this junior brother.

"Ding!"

"Favorability increased to two stars!"

"Attributes available for selection!"

"Triggered extra reward: Fist Intent prototype!"

The system's voice sounded in his mind.

Hearing this.

Meng Zhangqing could not help but inhale lightly.

An extra reward was even triggered, and the reward was... the Fist Intent prototype!

Although he mainly cultivates the Sword Dao, one can never have too much of true intent in martial arts.

It also means that in the future, when encountering powerful fist techniques and martial skills, he can try to learn them.

For example, the 'Truth Divine Fist' the Zhang Sect transmitted to him not long ago; this is a Heaven-grade Initial Stage martial skill paired with the 'Indestructible Truth Heavenly King Art'!

Anyway, having many skills never burdens the body.

Additionally, it is said that in some regions, there is suppression by the Great Dao; fist cultivators entering there are like fish in water, while sword cultivators are in poor condition, and vice versa.

In short.

Learning more has no downside.

"Excellent."

Joy flashed in Meng Zhangqing's eyes.

This round was a huge harvest; some heavenly demon qi he could not use improved his favorability, and he even obtained the Fist Intent prototype!

"You came here today, I suppose, to inquire about the situation regarding the Life and Death Realm?"

Xi Yingqing said.

"Yes; reaching the peak of the Divine Connection Realm presents no difficulty, so I wish to attempt to step into the Life and Death Realm before the Southern Region Talent Battle; only then will I have a greater chance of entering the top twenty."

Meng Zhangqing said.

"It seems Second Senior Brother has already told you about the Southern Region Talent Battle."

"With merely the Divine Connection Realm, it is indeed difficult to stand out; among those top-ranked great provinces, there are no shortage of world-suppressing prodigies."

"Only by stepping into Life and Death can one compete with them."

Xi Yingqing stood with hands behind his back and spoke slowly.

There seemed to be a hint of reminiscence in his tone.

"I thought it would be difficult for you to break through to the Life and Death Realm before the Talent Battle, but now it seems I was short-sighted and underestimated your cultivation speed."

Xi Yingqing smiled slightly, "Next, I will explain and demonstrate the power of the Life and Death Realm for you."

Hearing this.

Meng Zhangqing immediately focused his attention.

He dared not be distracted even slightly.

The Life and Death Realm is also a major realm that heavily depends on insight.

Therefore, the experiences and realizations of past generations are extremely important.
