Chapter 470: After the modification: Chapter 469 Counting the Harvest, Serpent Dragon’s 9 Transformations (Third Update)
"Indeed, these demonic cultivators, killing and looting, robbing and plundering, are quite commonplace. Their deceitful nature makes them trust no one, so all their treasures are kept on their own bodies.
Among the four storage bags, apart from other things, there were more than 3.2 million Spirit Stones.
Not to mention the many Dharma Treasures, Spirit Pills, Spirit Talismans, Treasures of Heaven and Earth, Jade Scroll Eyes, and other items.
Even after deducting some demonic items and others of indeterminate value, my harvest this time was worth at least tens of millions of Spirit Stones, which converts to over a thousand Top-grade Spiritual Stones."
Bai Ziyue swept through with his Divine Thought, a glint of brilliance appearing in his eyes.
Then, without hesitation, he carefully selected and packed away all the items of significant value.
For him now, some relatively common materials, magical artifacts, spirit talismans, or even Dharma Treasures no longer attracted much of his attention.
What he was more concerned about were items that were useful to him or of immense value.
The collections of the demonic cultivators, some things indeed pushed the limits of his tolerance. Bai Ziyue picked through them with disgust, gathering up all the demonic treasures like two Upper Grade Dharma Treasures, two Middle-grade Dharma Treasures, and four Low-grade Dharma Treasures—eight in total—as well as various materials used in demonic cultivation, such as skeletons, flayed corpses, and blood... all gathered and then enveloped in a trial of the Ten Thousand Flames Melting Furnace.
Sizzling sounds roared...
Under the blaze, the Yin Attribute Power was completely burned away. The sinister and ghostly creatures let out terrifying howls of despair, like the wailing of ghosts or mournful whispers, sometimes erupting into vicious curses...
These sounds were eerie, terrifying, venomous, pleading, disturbing the Heart Spirit.
But Bai Ziyue remained unmoved, expending his Divine Thought Power as the five-colored flames obliterated everything. Occasionally, a demonic treasure unleashed a sky-high Evil Qi, unwilling to be refined, yet it was suppressed by the fire in the blink of an eye, incapable of making any disturbance.
Suddenly, a vast number of Soul Energy values flashed before his eyes.
"Soul Energy +10000, +10000, +10000, +10000..."
Soon, the world was clear of darkness. All the sinister objects, even those malicious treasures, were reduced to ashes, devoid of any usefulness.
*"My Soul Energy didn’t decrease but increased, reaching thirty million points?
It’s equivalent to this time burning demonic treasures directly increased my Soul Energy by over five million points, which is not much less than what I gained from killing those demonic cultivators."*
Bai Ziyue’s eyes lit up, secretly delighted.
Thirty million Soul Energy was indeed a new high for his Soul Energy.
Then his gaze fell on that batch of Jade Scroll Eyes.
For this batch of Jade Scroll Eyes, even though he anticipated some would contain demonic cultivation techniques, he had no hesitation or apprehension.
His intent to innovate cultivation techniques required drawing upon the strengths of many, absorbing their advantages and essences.
Demonic cultivation techniques, despite their wicked and bizarre nature, with ruthless methods, often seeking quick success, had their unique qualities that allowed them to thrive and make the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range cultivators like facing a formidable foe.
As long as Bai Ziyue remained steadfast in his heart, he needed not worry about anything.
With a thought, his Divine Thought gently swept across.
Immediately, the records within over twenty Jade Scroll Eyes all entered into his mind.
"Swallowing Yuan Demon Technique, Yin Yang Demon Skill, white bone skeleton technique, Soul-searching Technique, Blood Shadow Escape Technique, Soul Splitting Possession Skill, Taiyi Split Sword Skill, Buddha Vajra Method... within these Jade Scroll Eyes, there were not only demonic cultivation techniques but also the cultivation techniques of the Cloud-piercing Four Sects like the Taiyi Sword Sect and the Great Buddha Sect."
Bai Ziyue scanned over the various Jade Scroll Eyes one by one, his heart suddenly tightening in shock.
Such a harvest was indeed beyond his expectations.
Then, quickly, a thought crossed his mind, and he understood.
Many demonic cultivators originated from other sect disciples who couldn’t keep their hearts and fell into the Demon Dao. They naturally carried their original sect’s legacies with them.
Furthermore, with their mutual slaughter, killing, and looting... It must be mentioned that demonic cultivators had no sectarian bias and were indifferent to the transfer of cultivation techniques, hence the demonic techniques spreading widely among the outside world...
This resulted in him holding so many cultivation techniques from other sects at this moment.
Immediately, he was thrilled.
These cultivation techniques, he would not practice them, yet they were surely a tremendous supplement to his innovation of cultivation techniques.
"The Swallowing Yuan Demon Technique is said to be created by a top demonic figure from the innate divine technique of devouring heaven and earth of a Great Demon, with strong refining power of Primordial Power. The more it devours, the faster the cultivator’s strength increases.
Moreover, this technique could even devour a cultivator’s flesh, blood essence, and Divine Thought power...
The Yin Yang Demon Skill harnesses the power of Yin and Yang’s union for transformation and the seizing of vitality and Primordial Qi. It is a technique that achieves one’s Dao through another Daos’ achievement and is also an evil technique.
The white bone skeleton technique uses white bone skeletons as its foundation, gathering endless resources to nurture the bones, then nourishes oneself..."
Bai Ziyue analyzed these three demon techniques one by one, and even though he was well aware that these techniques were not righteous, their exquisite aspects gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.
*Among them, there was definitely something worth taking.*
"The Buddha Vajra Method should be one of the true teachings of the Great Buddha Sect, directly pointing to the peak of the Divine Realm... As expected, Buddhist techniques differ from general Immortal Techniques, focusing on physical power primarily. With the Buddhist Dharma Vajra blessing, physical power becomes unparalleled, and then using the vigorous vitality generated within the body, it feeds back to one’s Divine Soul, achieving the effect of strengthening the Divine Soul."
Bai Ziyue silently pondered, *feeling that his own cultivation technique, if combined with methods for cultivating the body, would undoubtedly be more perfect.*
"The Soul-Searching Technique, Blood Shadow Escape Technique, and Soul Splitting Possession Skill are all demonic spells.
These spells are eerie and evil, but one has to admit, they indeed possess powerful effects.
Among them, the Soul-Searching Technique can directly search the soul of opposing cultivators, thereby uncovering the deep memories and secrets within their soul. However, once it is used, the damage to the enemy’s soul is immense, with little chance of recovery... Sometimes, when encountering someone who must be killed, it’s not impossible to use it.
The Blood Shadow Escape Technique is a method of escape. The speed is indeed fast, surpassing even body technique divine techniques in short distances.
However, the cost is great.
As for the Soul Splitting Possession Skill, it is a form of corpse reanimation skill, and it cannot achieve complete rebirth of the soul. After all, a person’s body and soul are the most compatible duality, and once an outsider’s soul enters, the body will instinctively reject it. Not only will the cultivator find it difficult to fully control the body, but the body’s vitality will gradually dissipate due to the death of its original soul, and it won’t last long.
But one has to admit, this demonic spell can undoubtedly demonstrate tremendous effect at certain critical moments.
It was said that a demonic powerhouse once used this Soul Splitting Possession Skill to forcibly possess a sect powerhouse, surprisingly infiltrating the sect, causing massive upheaval, and almost leading to the sect’s splintering."
Bai Ziyue analyzed various cultivation techniques one by one, indeed feeling greatly enriched.
Many things were things he encountered for the first time, seeing them for the first time.
And at this moment, once he had ’seen’ them, even if he did not cultivate them, they would unavoidably turn into his cultivation resources, increasing his foundation, and settling in his mind.
*Ultimately, at a certain moment, they would burst forth with magnificent brilliance.*
Half an hour later.
Bai Ziyue stored all these insights into his storage bag.
Immediately after, a look of seriousness appeared on his face.
With a flip of his hand, a new Jade Scroll Eye and a piece of green copper appeared in his hand.
The green copper was the Demon Race Technique he had picked up back then at the place where the Golden Core Realm level demon beast, the Silver Snake Demon Monarch, had perished, and the new Jade Scroll Eye was something he had casually exchanged for in the Internal Affairs Hall earlier, titled "Demon Race Texts Explanation."
Back in Blood Peak City, he had not found any information concerning the Demon Race text. However, now at the Qingxu Sect, he finally did not disappoint his hopes when he found this "Demon Race Texts Explanation," which he promptly exchanged for.
Even though it cost a thousand achievements, which was slightly pricy, he still felt that it was all worth it.
With a sweep of his divine thought, the information inside immediately surged into his mind.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Bai Ziyue silently memorized, browsed, and then his divine thought swept over the green copper once more to verify and compare.
He finally translated the Demon Race Technique thoroughly after an hour.
"The ’Nine Transformations of the Snake Dragon.’"
Bai Ziyue’s heart trembled, discovering it was a Snake Demon to Dragon Transformation Technique.
"Once a Snake Demon cultivates this Demon Race technique, it will undergo nine transformations, its bloodline returning to its ancestors, evolving into a True Dragon.
A True Dragon is a Divine Beast, with power at the very least above the Primordial Spirit Realm. That is to say, this is essentially a cultivation technique that directly points to the Primordial Spirit Realm..."
Bai Ziyue exclaimed, involuntarily sucking in a cold breath.
*To think about it, currently, he didn’t even possess a cultivation technique pointing directly to the Golden Core Realm, yet this one pointed directly to the Primordial Spirit Realm level... Even if it was merely a Demon Race technique, which he couldn’t cultivate directly, its grade was undoubtedly the highest amongst any cultivation technique he had ever seen.*
*In a daze, he suddenly felt that his greatest gain from traversing the Hundred Thousand Mountains might just be this ’Nine Transformations of the Snake Dragon.’*
"The Nine Transformations of the Snake Dragon, nine transformations, into a True Dragon.
If he could incorporate those cultivation concepts into the technique he was about to create..."
The divine light in Bai Ziyue’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.
*Even before this, he had a premonition that this Demon Race technique would definitely be a huge opportunity for the creation of his own technique. Now that he had witnessed the entirety of this technique, his inspiration surged tremendously, and his heart was filled with excitement.*
However, he did not rush to use Enlightenment Time for technique creation but instead began refining and contemplating carefully.
He needed to cultivate his ideas.
Moreover, this time and place weren’t the optimal moment and location for creating his technique.
The Innovation Hall in Qingxu Sect was the place for that.
*He wanted to do his best to prepare, and he must prepare until the most complete moment.*
