Chapter 152: Refining Essence Blood to Aid Cultivation

Fang Longye's thoughts stirred, and he activated the precious lamp above his head, which was clustered with two types of True Fire, shooting out thousands of divine rays to incinerate the mass of gloomy, heavy black Qi surrounding them.

The flames shot straight upward, piercing through the void; all around, flying stones hovered in the air, jagged and ghost-like, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

The mountain ridges were layered and overlapping, with nothing but deep black moss on the precipitous cliffs, and nothing else.

The terrain was rugged and uneven, full of pits and hollows, forming pools and deep ponds of various sizes, some curved, some straight, and some crescent-shaped.

Endless black water gathered within them, some deep and some shallow, some with no visible bottom, all differing from one another.

He activated his divine ability, divine light blooming in his eyes as he projected it inside; he saw only the gloomy water and rippling waves, with a blood-red halo of light suffusing the deepest parts, from which inexplicable sounds emerged from time to time.

The sounds intertwined, rustling and whispering.

Hearing them in his ears, his whole body felt uncomfortable.

Along the way, the surroundings were filled with scattered, drooping Black Lotus flowers.

In the center of the flower stamens were ferocious faces; sensing the gazes of the three, they even turned around and let out strange cries, which were very chilling.

Fang Longye's eyes were bright and clear as he carefully examined the scene before him, nodding to himself; the essence blood and origins scattered here by the fallen Immortals, Demons, Gods, and Buddhist practitioners were indeed countless.

These various sinister things were all derived from the essence blood and origins scattered here by the fallen Immortals, Demons, Gods, and Buddhist practitioners, combined with all sorts of malevolent Qi.

Qingli looked at this chilling scene, not feeling afraid, but asked with a slight lack of confidence: "These essence bloods and origins have long since undergone all sorts of strange changes. Can the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' really digest them?"

Although she had been diligently practicing this secret art over the years and had experienced its profound and strange nature.

But she had never tried devouring essence blood and origins of such a strange nature, and feeling that she had been immersed in this secret art for too short a time, she still felt a bit uncertain in her heart.

Fang Longye shook his head with a smile and said: "You are underestimating this secret art. The Demon Gods and Great Sages of the ancient era were far less picky than you imagine when practicing this art. This is nothing compared to that."

The baleful Qi, killing Qi, death Qi, Poison, and so on that these essence bloods and origins were tainted with were all child's play in the ancient era.

In his view, there was only one key to practicing the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' secret art, and that was—"Eat"! As long as you don't "eat" yourself to death, keep "eating" until you die! Devour all essence blood and origins, transforming them into the foundation of the Divine Embryo you are cultivating, in order to achieve a Great Completion of the Divine Embryo and Reverse Innate.

Come to think of it, this secret art is quite suitable for Yun Ting, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

This includes the entire set of peerless arts from the Ruthless Great Emperor of the Shrouding the Heavens world, such as the 'Swallowing Heaven Demon Art' and 'Undying Demon Art', which were exchanged and traded for.

They are all extremely well-suited for that little sparrow, Yun Ting, who walks the path of devouring.

Fang Longye couldn't help but think of Yun Ting, with whom he had shared a night of pleasure.

Hearing this, Qingli nodded, and without hesitation, immediately activated the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' secret art.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Bottomless black holes, some large and some small, appeared out of thin air around her, rotating and shifting, wandering in all directions.

Large amounts of black water, Black Lotus flowers, and so on, came from all directions and were all swallowed by the black holes, then refined through the secret art to become the resources for the advancement of the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art'.

A burst of profound sounds rang out, and behind Qingli, circles of rippling light wheels rose up, a sea of green halos.

One black and one white, two light eggs floated up and down within the green halo.

The white-colored light egg had five-colored halos appearing on its surface, emitting a sacred aura, crystal clear and translucent.

From within, the rough outline of a human-bodied, snake-tailed figure was reflected, sleeping inside, appearing and disappearing.

It possessed a majestic divine might, displaying a transcendent and refined quality, as if it were about to rise above all living beings.

The black-colored light egg had a layer of indescribable gloomy color permeating its surface, as if covered by a layer of black gauze, bizarre and varied, with all sorts of malevolent auras filling the space within.

Looking inside, it was gloomy and heavy, with baleful Qi growing in clusters, killing Qi permeating, and a destructive Aura settling within, as deep as a prison.

An ink-green sword blade slowly rotated inside, slightly transparent, appearing both virtual and real, shifting between truth and illusion, absorbing the various malevolent auras from the surroundings to hone itself.

The mass of essence blood and origins that had derived into black water and Black Lotus flowers were rapidly refined into two types of power through the secret art.

The pure essence blood and origins were injected into the white light egg, promoting the growth and perfection of the Divine Embryo and elevating its essence.

The various chaotic auras extracted were continuously sunk into the black light egg; chaos, corrosion, slaughter, poisonous miasma, destruction... all kinds of malevolent auras grew in clusters.

They gathered into a blooming Black Lotus, holding up that virtual-yet-real ink-green sword blade, with clusters of black flames burning fiercely and unceasingly, tempering this yet-to-be-formed fierce sword. Feeling the rapid progress of her secret art, Qingli couldn't help but narrow her eyes, revealing a smile, her face filled with a look of complete satisfaction.

Comfortable, truly comfortable.

"Eh?"

Seeing the phenomenon Qingli displayed, Fang Longye's eyes lit up.

One Divine Embryo, one Demonic Fetus; the Divine Embryo nourishes the body, the Demonic Fetus casts the weapon—this is vastly different from the original 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art'.

"I didn't expect that you, Qingli, have such good comprehension; you actually integrated the 'Swallowing Heaven Demon Art' and 'Undying Demon Art' I taught you into the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art'."

Cultivation, after all, is a very private matter.

Even if Qingli and Ao Ying strictly belong to him, he does not go to check on their cultivation at every moment in his daily life.

Therefore, Fang Longye really did not expect that Qingli would give him such a big surprise.

You must know that due to the nature of the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' secret art, the entire set of Ruthless Great Emperor's peerless arts he exchanged for is not limited to the Great Emperor stage of the Shrouding the Heavens world, but is a version re-derived at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

If one were to make a comparison, it is only slightly inferior to the Great Luo level.

Yet Qingli was actually able to break through the barriers, extract the many Dharmas contained in such high-level peerless arts, and integrate them into the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art'.

Thus, she struck out on a new path, changing from the original single condensation of a Divine Embryo to cultivating one Divine Embryo and one Demonic Fetus.

I truly underestimated her.

Qingli opened her eyes, sensing the changes in herself, her beautiful eyes filled with a sense of excitement, but upon hearing Fang Longye's praise, her face immediately flushed red.

While continuing to swallow the black water and Black Lotus flowers derived from various essence blood and origins, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said: "Young Master, you are really overpraising me. How could I have such great ability to jump out of the fences of such a secret art?"

"It is just that as the cultivation deepened, the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' spontaneously took the contents of the 'Swallowing Heaven Demon Art' and 'Undying Demon Art' for its own use, absorbing the principles within them."

"After a thorough integration, it self-evolved into its current appearance."

Hearing her explanation, Fang Longye smiled and shook his head: "Do not belittle yourself. No matter how miraculous a cultivation method is, if there is no owner like you to comprehend some of the barriers, it would not be able to exert its effect."

Some of the supreme-level Dao Scriptures and secret arts in this world have unfathomable power and can constantly change according to the individual practicing them.

There is no absolute formula.

Instead, they will display different styles according to the owner's personal traits and cultivation path.

In other words, the same Dao Scripture or secret art will often display completely different and varied results because the individuals practicing it are different.

It is just like the two divine abilities, the Yin and Yang Millstone and the Yin and Yang Furnace, produced by the "Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Scripture" that he cultivates.

Those were formed by combining his personal thoughts and concepts, and are divine abilities unique to himself.

It is not the case that every member of the dragon kind who cultivates this secret method will form the same divine abilities as he has.

Differences in how one views problems and the varying philosophies one upholds will all influence the final results to be different.

For instance, Fang Longye believes that Bloodline transformation is a process of removing the dross and selecting the essential, as well as smelting and synthesizing, and thus, with the assistance of the secret method, he generated the two phenomena of divine abilities: the millstone and the furnace.

Meanwhile, Yinglong Laozu, who also cultivated the "Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Scripture," believes that all things originate from one, and that there are commonalities between every different species.

As long as one finds this commonality, one can merge two into one; that is to say, there is a so-called gateway of commonality within all things.

Under this philosophy, the divine ability she comprehended and used to transform her Bloodline is a gateway.

This is also the origin of the current supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan, the "Dragon Gate."

Therefore, the most important thing in cultivation still lies in the individual; if one is not capable oneself, then even if one is given the most miraculous immortal manual, it is all in vain.

It is already quite good that Qingli can perceive some of the barriers in cultivation and drive the changes in the "Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art."
