Chapter 243: The Second Layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra

Five years later.

Xianxia Peak, a quiet room.

"The second layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra is finally complete."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra.

With his body as the center, countless Demon Qi swirled around him; he looked just like the incarnation of a Heart Demon.

If the first layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra was about condensing a Demon Seed, then the second layer was about summoning a Heart Demon.

Having reached the second layer realm, he possessed the ability to summon the Heart Demons of others.

If someone was plagued by Heart Demons, once this move was unleashed, the enemy could instantly die from Qi deviation, or even have their soul devoured by the Heart Demon.

"It truly lives up to its name as the Yanmo Sect's signature cultivation technique."

"Even just the second layer of the technique has such marvelous utility."

"The Demon Summoning Heart Sutra at this level can already be used to deal with enemies."

Zhou Sui was also filled with wonder.

As long as he silently recited the incantation to form the words of the Heart Demon, he could awaken the Heart Demon within the opponent's body, letting them reap what they sowed.

The founding patriarch of the Yanmo Sect in the past relied on this very ability to run rampant across the East Wasteland.

Even when encountering sieges from numerous Cultivators, he was not afraid in the slightest.

Because once the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra was circulated, it could immediately trigger the Heart Demons of the many Cultivators, causing them to collapse without a fight.

As time went on, almost no one dared to contend with the Sect Master of the Yanmo Sect.

After all, no one could guarantee that they were free of Heart Demons.

It could be said that this ability was even more terrifying than illusions.

Because illusions could still be resisted; as long as one carried various Dharma Treasures that defended against illusions, or practiced eye techniques, one could naturally see through them.

But Heart Demons, however, were not so easy to resist.

After all, these were distracting thoughts and evil intentions born from the depths of one's own heart; unless one could conquer oneself, other external forces were almost useless.

"However, this ability is not just for attacking enemies."

"It can also be used to help other Cultivators."

"By unleashing the second layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra, one can summon the Heart Demons of other Cultivators, and even eat them."

"In this way, the Heart Demons of other Cultivators are weakened, thereby helping the other party overcome their Heart Demon Tribulation."

"Of course, if it were a Cultivator of the Yanmo Sect, it would be absolutely impossible to do such a thing that harms others without benefiting oneself."

"After all, if one devours another person's Heart Demon, it is equivalent to suffering on their behalf, and one will endure the torture of that person's Heart Demon."

"The pain produced therein is simply unimaginable."

Zhou Sui also understood why others who practiced the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra did not do such things; it was truly because devouring another's Heart Demon would lead to the collapse of one's own soul, and even cause memory conflicts.

A slight carelessness would lead to death by Qi deviation.

However, he was different; he possessed a Heaven and Earth Strange Gu like the Dream Soul Gu, which could devour Heart Demons and devour the memories of others.

It could be said that once the Heart Demons of others were obtained, one could simply hand them over to the Dream Soul Gu to handle.

The main body would not suffer any harm.

To a certain extent, the Dream Soul Gu was a trash processor, specifically helping to devour and digest the power of Heart Demons.

Of course, for the Dream Soul Gu, this also had huge benefits.

Devouring the Heart Demons of others could also rapidly increase its power and promote its evolution.

"Having reached the second layer of the Demon Summoning Heart Sutra, I should be able to help Yazhu and the others overcome their Heart Demon Tribulation."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

Previously, when he was only at the first layer realm, he was more or less still a bit hesitant.

After all, he might not have truly been able to summon the Heart Demons of other Cultivators.

But now it was different; when he reached the second layer realm, he could thoroughly summon the hidden Heart Demons of others and then instantly devour them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui also opened his Virtual Panel.

"Has the cultivation progress already reached 90%?"

Zhou Sui touched his chin, feeling very satisfied; having cultivated bitterly for five years, it was clear that his cultivation had also received a significant boost, and he was already approaching the Golden Core Middle Stage.

One must know that he had only been cultivating for fifteen years, and he was already close to the perfection of the Golden Core Early Stage.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator at the Golden Core Early Stage, they probably wouldn't even think about breaking through without seventy or eighty years.

And that was only for Cultivators who had hope of breaking through.

Of course, the fastest progress was naturally in his attainment as an Array Master.

In a mere five years, he had advanced to the Fourth-Tier Middle-Grade realm.

This was all thanks to the power of the Array Heart Gu.

Because he had infiltrated the Fourth-tier High-grade Array of Wuji Island, his comprehension of Fourth-tier Arrays had undergone a qualitative leap.

Therefore, his attainment as an Array Master had also improved geometrically.

It was estimated that it would not take long before he could raise his attainment as an Array Master to the Tier 4 Upper Grade realm.

By then, there would be few Array Masters in the entire Canglan Sea who could compare to him.

"Husband."

"The materials for the Fourth-tier Great Array are basically ready."

"When shall we begin constructing the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array?"

Just at this moment, the communication Talisman on Zhou Sui's body rang; it was a message sent by Leng Yuexi.

"Is it already prepared?"

Seeing this message, Zhou Sui's eyes immediately lit up, and he felt very excited.

He had waited for five years, exhausting the strength of the Three Sects, to finally have the array materials for this Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array prepared.

To tell the truth, he had already waited for too long.

But all of this was worth it.

Once the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array was completely set up, he would have a fairly solid rear base.

Even if he encountered an attack from a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he would have nothing to fear and would be completely invincible.

Swoosh!

Without a word, Zhou Sui's figure flashed, and he immediately left his quiet room.

At this time, Leng Yuexi, Shen Biqian, and Lin Yazhu had already been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and in their hands were extra Storage Bags, which contained all the materials for the Fourth-tier Great Array, the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array.

"Not bad; since that is the case, then let us begin."

Zhou Sui grabbed with his hand, immediately taking the Storage Bag, and lightly swept it with his divine sense.

Inside were all the materials for the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array.

They could be described as worth a king's ransom.
