Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation Chapter 81

During the cultivation process, a very special type of power is required.

It is called: Heavenly Demon Evil Thought.

By chanting the secret curse at specific hours each day, one can draw the Heavenly Demon Evil Thought from the unseen Heavenly Demonic Realm, letting it slowly seep into the flesh and transform into a Demonic Embryo.

The process is extremely dangerous. A single misstep can attract a Heavenly Demon.

At worst, it can confuse the mind and alter one’s temperament.

At the most severe, it can seize the body, which is the same as falling to death.

The concept of Heavenly Demons is very similar to Heart Demons, but also completely different. The source of a cultivator’s Heart Demon usually lies in their own obsessions and can be traced back to its origin.

But Heavenly Demons are formless and shapeless, difficult to perceive, and they are special living beings from beyond the realm, outsiders to this world.

Unless one actively invites them, cultivators are rarely entangled by Heavenly Demons.

Using one’s own Demonic Embryo to plant Demonic Thoughts, one imitates the process of a Heavenly Demon’s possession, devouring every part of a person of the same bloodline.

Most importantly, this secret curse can be used continuously.

Even if the target is not of the same bloodline, devouring is still possible, but there will be many more restrictions. For example, the Demonic Thought will be difficult to plant, hard to fully infiltrate, and even if the devouring succeeds, only one or two tenths of the benefits will be gained.

Wang Yu already had a suitable target in mind.

His uncle’s son, Wang Wu.

With a dual spiritual root aptitude, his talent was already not low, and it was also because of him that Wang Yu had to travel far to Stone Lake City. If he had stayed home, he definitely would not have been captured and brought to the Crimson Kite Demonic Domain.

Their bloodline was close, and once devoured, Wang Yu could obtain the full ten-tenths of the benefits. Why would he have any reason not to do it?

(Note: Wang Yu did not know about the Stone Lake City Lord’s human trafficking dealings.)

The current problem was how to obtain the Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse. Continuing to study the classics, Wang Yu focused on researching this information.

A ten-day period later, he finally had a lead.

Duan Clan of Elephant Mountain.

Aside from the sect master’s own line, the Blood Reversal Sect had three Nascent Soul families: Zhuo, Yu, and Zuoqiu.

The Elephant Mountain Duan Clan was the maternal clan of True Disciple Su and was a prestigious peak Golden Core family. His younger maternal sister had married a Nascent Soul True Lord of the Zuoqiu Clan as Dao Companion.

This Nascent Soul True Lord was the mountain master of the Fourth Peak of the Nine Peaks, Evil Sword Peak, and was known as True Lord Nine Evils.

By seniority, True Disciple Su would call him uncle.

The Demonic Embryo Mysterious Origin Curse was originally obtained by True Lord Nine Evils from an ancient ruin, and he generously bestowed it to his Dao Companion and many concubines.

After all, upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, unless one could cultivate a spiritual body secret art, even a Heavenly Spiritual Root would offer limited assistance.

Later, the secret curse was passed to the maternal clans of the women. Judging from the probability, Wang Yu had a chance to obtain it from either the Duan Clan or True Disciple Su.

However, the classics recorded that this matter happened less than five hundred years ago, and many had cultivated this technique since. Out of over ten thousand who had attempted it, only four succeeded.

Two died in the Foundation Establishment stage, one died in the Golden Core stage, and only one survived to this day. That person had a mixed spiritual root aptitude and had already cultivated to the late Golden Core stage, but was currently not in the sect.

After understanding all the information, Wang Yu put down the classics, thinking of how to obtain it while continuing to search related records.

The number of such secret techniques far exceeded his expectations. He had read less than one-tenth of the classics in the Scripture Hall, so the remaining nine-tenths might hold even more surprises.

That day.

Wang Yu suddenly received a message from Ice and Snow Pavilion, saying that Duan Ping had arrived. Only then did he wake up from his engrossed state.

Come to think of it, they had agreed to meet the next day, but it had been nearly half a month before he came. Clearly, he had not taken Wang Yu seriously.

Silently pondering.

His information channels came from a True Disciple Force under Heavenly Corpse Peak. Fatty Duan had been hiding in the stone house area where the Spirit Slaves lived every day, probably still unaware of this matter.

Furthermore, True Disciple Su likely would not mention it to him.

Wang Yu was very confident.

If one were to hold grudges a little more, it would not be surprising if they were still thinking about giving him a hard time even now.

...

...

Blood Reversal Sect, Ice and Snow Pavilion.

He moved his facial features slightly, making his expression more lively and natural. From far away, he could already see that familiar broad figure.

"Stewart Duan, long time no see, your bearing is as graceful as ever."

"Hmph."

Seeing Wang Yu approach with a smiling face, the short and plump Duan Ping raised his nose almost parallel to the ceiling and immediately tried to intimidate him.

"What was your name again?"

"Hehe, Wang Yu."

He did not get angry. Based on his own estimation, after Stewart Liu had taken the initiative to flee, the Stone House District was now under the control of Fatty Duan and other Steward Liu. Even without evenly dividing the tribute from the Spirit Slaves, taking sixty or seventy percent was no problem. During this period, Fatty Duan must have received no small benefits from the True Disciple Su, so it was normal for him to be even more arrogant than before.

After all, he was managing a money pouch for True Disciple Su.

However, he truly did not know that the True Disciple was about to come out of seclusion. Wang Yu was just a small fry, while the one who had stolen his credit back then, Steward Duan, was a bigger fish.

If one were to arrange the order of revenge, it would be:

True Disciple Su > Fatty Duan > Wang Yu.

Simple and clear.

With Lady Lan Ji present at the moment, Wang Yu could not say it outright, so he sincerely invited Fatty Duan to chat in a private room.

Although the other party was suspicious of his intentions, he still agreed.

Private room.

"Speak, what is it. If it is not important enough, you can forget about staying in this Ice and Snow Pavilion."

Still trying to intimidate him...

Wang Yu was speechless for a moment. After a brief pause, he began talking about how that True Disciple would be coming out of seclusion next year. It had already been two years since his successful Core Formation, so stabilizing his realm should be about done.

Sure enough, Fatty Duan’s reaction was exactly as he expected.

After surprise, his first reaction was fear, followed immediately by disbelief.

"How did you know before me? Where did the news come from?

"If it were true, Lord Su would have told me as well."

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes, sighed softly, and patted Fatty Duan’s shoulder after leaning closer.

"You and I are essentially of the same class. Think about it. Lord Su’s uncle is the Nine Evils True Lord. If that person seeks revenge, it will never be directed at the lord himself.

"You and I are ready-made scapegoats. Before knowing the other party’s intentions, holding still is the best strategy. Once he makes a move, handing you over would settle the matter nicely."

The more Duan Ping listened, the paler his face became, but he quickly retorted.

"I am from the Duan Clan of Elephant Mountain. The idea was yours. You are the best person to take the blame."

Wang Yu smiled.

"Yes, you are not wrong, but my status is too low. Anyone can tell at a glance that I am just a small fry used to take the blame, which would be disgraceful. You are different.

"Steward Duan, in name, you have some family connection with True Disciple Su. You are perfect for taking the blame. Moreover, when it came to dividing credit and rewards back then, you were the one who took the lead and claimed the main credit.

"I heard it was as much as three thousand contribution points, all recorded and traceable. Tsk tsk."

Wang Yu had prepared well in advance, with his words arranged in complete sets. Hearing such statements all of a sudden, and with True Disciple Su indeed having said nothing to him, the more Duan Ping thought about it, the more flustered he became.
