Chapter 147: Summoning the Demon, Sealing the Demon, Refining the Demon, Completing the First Layer

Whoosh—~~~

In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed that deep within his Soul, strands of black aura were departing, detaching from his Soul and temporarily splitting into two parts.

At this moment, he felt his Soul seemed clearer than ever before.

It was as if a dirty mirror had been wiped clean, restoring its former brightness.

To the Soul, a Heart Demon is actually something like a stain.

If it is not cleared away, it will cause the Soul to become increasingly heavy and be obscured by the Heart Demon.

"Seal Demon."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes as he began the next step of the action.

In fact, the first layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra has a total of three techniques.

The first is the Summon Demon Technique, which can attract Heart Demons.

The second is the Seal Demon Technique, which can imprison and seal Heart Demons.

The third is the Refine Demon Technique, which can refine Heart Demons to form a Demon Seed.

Only by thoroughly mastering these three techniques can one be considered to have successfully cultivated the first layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra.

Rumble—~~

At this very moment, under the influence of the Book Gu, Zhou Sui felt as if he were in a state of epiphany—without joy or sorrow, devoid of any emotion; this was a state of absolute rationality.

He formed seals with his hands and instantly imprisoned the Heart Demon within his body.

It seemed as if a void-like spiritual cage bound the Heart Demon, making it unable to break free.

Then, this spiritual cage compressed, compressed, and continuously compressed, squeezing the Heart Demon to the extreme.

Finally, the Heart Demon could no longer struggle or move, forming a seed that had condensed into substance.

This was the Seed of the Heart Demon.

"It is done."

The moment the Seed of the Heart Demon condensed, Zhou Sui's body shook; he suddenly understood that he had cultivated the first layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra and had begun to condense the Demon Seed.

This was the first step, and also a crucial step.

If one could not even successfully condense the Demon Seed, then it would be impossible to proceed to the second step.

He sensed that he and this Demon Seed were as one, that it was itself a part of his own Soul, as easy to command as his own fingers and arms.

Vaguely, this Demon Seed seemed to contain a trace of demonic nature, causing one to involuntarily fall into it.

It was as if his own Soul were being completely devoured by this Demon Seed, falling into a vortex.

One could imagine that this supreme cultivation technique from the Yanmo Sect indeed possessed an unusual evil nature.

"I can now condense five Demon Seeds."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

Now he also knew that Demon Seeds could not be condensed infinitely; this was closely related to the cultivator's Soul power.

The more powerful the Soul power and the more powerful the Heart Demon, the greater the number of Demon Seeds one could condense.

However, even so, this was completely sufficient.

After all, quality is far more important than quantity.

"Hmm?!"

"Have the Youmo Sect Cultivators finally appeared?!"

Suddenly, Zhou Sui's heart stirred, as if he had sensed something.

One of his clones was hiding in a large tree, and then he saw three Cultivators quietly approaching from afar.

One had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, with an ugly appearance.

One was one-eyed, with only a single eye remaining.

And another was bald, with no hair left on his head.

Although their appearances were peculiar and different from ordinary people, the aura on their bodies was very powerful; they were clearly Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators.

"Wait, isn't that guy one of the Foundation Establishment Realm demonic Cultivators who besieged Miyun City?"

Immediately, Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, sensing that the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked Foundation Establishment Cultivator was very familiar, as if he had seen him before.

He carefully recalled, and this person was indeed one of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had once besieged Miyun City.

He hadn't expected to actually run into him here.

In the past, he had been trembling with fear because of this Foundation Establishment demonic Cultivator, terrified of being discovered by him.

But now, they were meeting again here.

However, he was no longer the ordinary Qi Refining stage Cultivator of the past; his Qi Refining cultivation had reached the ninth layer, and his physical fitness was even comparable to a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator.

In terms of combat power, he was not much different from a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator.

"This is a chance for revenge."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes, and a faint, lingering killing intent permeated his body.

He would not forget the ruthlessness of these Youmo Sect Cultivators.

If it weren't for these guys besieging Miyun City, Miyun City would still be a pure land for Loose Cultivators.

Miyun City, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was destroyed in an instant because of the arrival of these demonic Cultivators.

If he lacked the ability to take revenge, so be it; he would not seek his own death.

But now that he possessed the ability to take revenge, things were completely different.

Whether to protect Leng Yuexi's safety or to take revenge, these three Youmo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators had to die.

Thinking of this, he began to wait quietly, focusing his mind and calming his breath, looking for the right moment to strike.

…………

At this very moment, these three Youmo Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators were gathered together, and they had not noticed that someone was watching them from the shadows; they still thought the surroundings were completely empty.

The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked cultivator was named Peng Hai, the bald cultivator was named Miao Song, and the one-eyed cultivator was named Ge Xuan.

They were all Foundation Establishment Elders of the Youmo Sect, holding high positions and great power.

"Damn it, where exactly is that Leng Yuexi? Has she really, as the Sect Master said, hidden herself inside the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?"

Peng Hai said while cursing and swearing.

"According to the sect's intelligence, over the past half year, Leng Yuexi has not returned to the Xianxia Sect."

"But her tracks cannot be found in Miyun City either."

"Even on all the main roads leading back to the Xianxia Sect, her figure cannot be found."

"Therefore, the only possibility is that Leng Yuexi has hidden herself deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."

"Only in this way could she have evaded the pursuit of our Youmo Sect."

The bald cultivator Miao Song's eyes revealed a trace of Cold Glow as he calmly analyzed.

"Hehe, this female cultivator was long ago struck by our sect's Blue Demon Poison; she has basically lost half her life."

"Even if we ignore this woman, she will die inside the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."

"Now is the critical moment of the war with the three major sects, yet the Sect Master has actually transferred the three of us Foundation Establishment Cultivators away; it is clear he doesn't like us and doesn't want us to earn any merit."

The one-eyed cultivator Ge Xuan cursed and swore, feeling very dissatisfied with this arrangement by the sect.

Because he felt that being far from the battlefield was depriving him of the opportunity to gain merit.

"Isn't that so? The Cloud Mist Mountain Range is so vast; if that woman just hides in some random place, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. With our abilities, how could we possibly find her?"

"If this isn't a waste of time, then what is?"

Peng Hai gritted his teeth.

He felt that finding a cultivator in the vast, boundless Cloud Mist Mountain Range was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack; it was fundamentally impossible to find her, and it was simply a waste of time.

"One cannot say it like that. If we can truly find that Xianxia Sect Young Sect Master Leng Yuexi and capture her, then it would certainly be a great bargaining chip for our Youmo Sect, and at that time, the Xianxia Sect Master would have no choice but to submit."

The bald cultivator Miao Song said in a deep voice.
