Chapter 237

When the Heavenly Demon Token appeared, it was as if the Cult Master himself had arrived.

All disciples of the Demon Sect should kneel and pay respects, and obey whatever command was given without daring to refuse!

Jiang Daoxuan's face took on a strange look, and he casually stored the Heavenly Demon Token into his Purple Mansion space.

The Heavenly Demon Sect has already been destroyed—what use is this token?

Afterwards, he continued reading downward.

Soon, he discovered the Blood-Burning Art the other party had mentioned!

This was one of the Heavenly Demon Sect's inheritances, an extraordinary secret technique of the highest Earth grade!

As long as one cultivated it, one could burn one's blood and lifespan, causing one's cultivation speed to skyrocket and achieving rapid breakthroughs!

The side effect, however, was that after cultivating it, one's lifespan would become extremely short.

Those at the Postnatal Realm cultivation base would not live past ten days.

Those at the Innate Realm cultivation base would not live past a month.

Those at the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation base would not live past half a year.

Those at the Star Wheel Realm cultivation base would not live past three years.

Even if one were lucky enough to break through to the Sun Wheel Realm, one's lifespan would not exceed twelve years.

One must understand that an ordinary Sun Wheel Realm cultivator would have a lifespan of at least over a thousand years; from this one could see the terror of the Blood-Burning Art!

Seeing this, Jiang Daoxuan finally understood.

Back when the Jiang clan had declined to becoming a vassal of the Tang clan, why Ancestor Hongxuan had been able to break through and advance to the Purple Mansion Realm, thereby leading the Jiang clan out of vassalage.

It must have been precisely because he had cultivated this Blood-Burning Art.

No wonder Old Ancestor Hongxuan, after achieving the Purple Mansion Realm—

Within only a few months, suddenly dropped dead, becoming the Jiang clan's unsolved mystery for several hundred years.

Afterwards, at the very bottom of the fierce beast hide, Jiang Daoxuan saw information about the origin of the treasure box.

It was a personal item that Jiang Zheren had brought out from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

To forcibly break it open required a Sun Wheel Realm cultivation base.

For those below Sun Wheel, to open it one must use a specific method.

And this method, only successive clan leaders through the generations were qualified to know.
