Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Senior Sister Mi's power did not seem odd to Wang Qi, but instead felt familiar.

When he came into contact with the power transmitted by Senior Sister Mi, the Yin Yang Yao inside the acupoints of his body began to flicker—they clearly encountered readable Spirit Sense and automatically transcribed it to Wang Qi.

In other words, Senior Sister Mi's fundamental cultivation method was the same as Wang Qi's.

Dataized Cultivation Method.

Senior Sister Mi said to Wang Qi with a smile, "Watching you operate, I felt that your cultivation method was different from the others. It's not like you're from here, but rather, you're very close to 'us.' That's why I had the mindset to give it a try. And indeed, it turned out to be true."

"No, no... this isn't in accordance with the Heavenly Dao..." Wang Qi was startled, "My cultivation method is clearly my own creation, and you haven't controlled this thing either. You should know that in order to control the Heart Demon System, one needs a specific Path Rank..."

"We and your Human Clan are fundamentally different," Senior Sister Mi shook her head slightly and then said, "Let's deal with the problem at hand first."

Wang Qi reminded her, "The nature of the Heart Demon Curse Power is special, it has a weak influence on normal materials, but it has a significant impact on the spirit..."

"After learning the Human Clan's script, the first thing I read was your paper. Master said that this unique power is the closest thing to our existence here. It is our natural enemy, but at the same time, it is also the opportunity for our cultivation to soar." Senior Sister Mi's gaze, through the Pagoda, through the Dragon Clan's Magical Artifact, landed on Shenhuan Lady, "For spiritual-based Illusion Techniques, I also know a trick or two."

After Senior Sister Mi took over the control of the Divine Spirit Body, Cthulhu's movements became even worse. Wang Qi noticed that this was not just due to signal delay, but also that Senior Sister Mi's response seemed somewhat slow. He wasn't aware that Senior Sister Mi did not understand Martial Arts, otherwise, he would have cursed, "That's cheating."

However, Senior Sister Mi's fighting style was not at all what Wang Qi had anticipated.

Before Wang Qi, Senior Sister Mi gently spit out three words: "Tribulation God Riddle."

All of a sudden, the Divine Spirit Body that was being violently thrashed started to break apart, turning into a cloud of green, tainted mist, surging towards the opponent. Wang Qi was startled and quickly rebooted the Yellow Robed King, consolidating the Divine Body of the Yellow Robed King to cover both the Dragon Clan's Magical Artifact and the Pagoda. Fortunately, the Heart Demon Curse Power already had the effect of blocking Spiritual Sense, so those with biting mouths didn't notice that this guy who just joined today was nothing but a sham.

Under Senior Sister Mi's manipulation, the dissipating Netherworld Fire Spell Power suddenly "came to life." That mass of Spell Power, like a living creature, spread out and enveloped Shenhuan Lady. The Mirage Demon at the Divine Power Stage thought that she was battling with the true body of the Squid Demon, and the touch from the Elephant Phase Wave Skill and the tentacles also indicated that the opponent was not an invisible and intangible body, but one of flesh and blood. Senior Sister Mi's move truly took Shenhuan Lady by surprise. As a result, she was entirely wrapped up by the Netherworld Fire Spell.

Wang Qi didn't know what technique Senior Sister Mi used, but the Netherworld Fire Spell actually penetrated directly into the Great Demon's body. He seemed to hear an indescribable scream. It was neither a sound from the body nor a fluctuation of a soul in pain. If he really had to describe it, it felt more like... a bunch of scrambled code?

"Can it be decoded with Yin Yang Yao Text [Machine Language]? Divine Plague Curse Technique? Using Divine Plague Curse Technique inversely to scramble her consciousness into code?" Wang Qi looked uncertainly at his junior sister, "No way, Teacher Feng even passed on such absolutely secret stuff to you? Back in the day, I only got the Divine Plague Curse Technique from teacher using the Heart Demon Curse..."

"It seems to work on the divine spirits here too," Senior Sister Mi shook her head in response to Wang Qi's question: "The Tribulation God Riddle is something I learned a long time ago, not the Divine Plague Curse Technique."

Wang Qi stood there dumbfounded: "Your clan really is amazing..."

"It's nothing special. If there is a chance, I will discuss it with you," Senior Sister Mi said calmly, "It's done. Instead of inquiring about my matters, you should think more about how to negotiate with the surrounding Demon Clan."

Wang Qi saw that several reading data in front of him went online and tapped out a few more lines. This time, dealing with Shenhuan Lady increased his control of the Heart Demon Curse Power by four levels. Don't underestimate these four levels. Wang Qi's Heart Demon Curse had already accumulated strength enough to confront Divine Separation Cultivators. With the addition of four more levels, his chances of defeating Divine Power Stage Demons increased significantly.

After the green mist dissipated, Shenhuan Lady was glowing green and floated powerlessly. The Yellow Robed King laughed loudly: "Nu huh huh huh... let's see who is the real expert in using illusions!"

Yet Wang Qi had decided to attribute everything that happened just now to "Illusion."

Just now it wasn't me who revealed the Battle Form, that squid head was an Illusion Technique I unleashed! It's an illusion, get it? What? You're asking why even a Demon Creature with higher cultivation than me was also tricked by the Illusion Technique? Sorry, is it unacceptable for me to be exceptionally talented?

The fate that befell Shenhuan Lady, as well as the sudden collapse of Cthulhu's body, were really hard to explain. Senior Sister Mi's Absolute Skill was also difficult to explain in a way that these demons could understand, so "Illusion Technique" was the most convenient excuse.

The Yellow Robed King extended his tentacles and wrapped up the Shenhuan Lady before splitting his lower half to reveal a dark "oral organ," then "devoured" the Mirage Demon as well.

"Good heavens, he ate the Shenhuan Lady!"

"He ate that Mirage Demon!"

"He's not in the Transformation Stage, he's a Great Demon of the Divine Power Stage!"

"It's possible his bloodline is so terrifying that he has honed his combat power to surpass Divine Powers even before achieving them!"

"How terrifying!"

Wang Qi, controlling the Yellow Robed King, slowly descended to the spot on the ground where he had been standing earlier. The Demon Beasts in their Transformation Stage around him all shuddered and hastily retreated, then bowed down and whispered in veneration, "Greetings to the Great Yellow Robed King."

Wang Qi curled his lips. Why did the name of the Yellow Robed King sound so much less impressive coming from their mouths? Great Yellow Robed King? Was he any relation to the Great Yellow Browed King?

Only after Wang Qi had steadied himself did a member of the Demon Clan swiftly move through the water, heading straight for him. The Yellow Robed King lifted his tentacles, assuming the newcomer was also looking for trouble. This Demon Creature's Transformation technique was highly sophisticated, making it nearly nine-tenths human in appearance. Confident in its abilities, it saw the tentacles launched by the Yellow Robed King and furrowed its brow, attempting to swat them away with a pair of fleshy palms. However, Wang Qi's attack contained the Sword Array technique of the Wanfa Sect. The tentacles moved in a coordinated fashion, with an intricate plan for the opponent's reaction already in place, layers of attacks designed even before contact.

The Demon, initially only wanting to intimidate this Yellow Robed King to show there are always bigger fish in the sea, had managed to deflect one tentacle only to have two more strike at his vital points; he spun his hands in a circular motion to fling away a slew of tentacles, only to face another barrage of attacks. In a moment, he felt as if his entire field of vision was filled with tentacles hitting his forehead, chest, back of the head, private parts, Dantian, and Tanzhong Acupoint—all permeated by a mysterious strength. Seeing the Mirage, equally adept in both poison and illusion, bewitched by the octopus' Illusion Technique and then poisoned, he dared not to take it lightly and promptly used his Essence to quell the "poison."

Wang Qi made a surprised noise. This fellow was extremely weak against the Heart Demon Curse, not on the same level as the Mirage he had encountered earlier, and yet his Mana and combat strength seemed to be above that of the female Demon. This surprised him.

"The Transformation Stage Demon Clan should not possess lesser abilities than the Heart Demon Curse, unlike the Human Clan's Nascent Soul which could suppress it for a short period; the Divine Power Stage Mirage Demon has some resistance to the Heart Demon Curse, far stronger than a Nascent Soul of the Human Clan but slightly weaker than a Divine Separation Cultivator. And this unknown Demon creature is much weaker than that Mirage and even falls short of the Human Clan's Nascent Soul..."

The Demon suddenly spoke, interrupting Wang Qi's thoughts, "Sha Liantai, I'm not here to fight..."

As it turned out, aside from the precisely calculated trajectory of its tentacles, the Yellow Robed King's other attacks could not keep up with the swift movements of this Demon creature. But after deflecting several rounds of attacks, this Demon, relying on agile movement, escaped to one side, starting to feel unable to suppress the "poison" stirring within. Assuming the Yellow Robed King was proud of his toxic prowess and no longer deemed it necessary to pursue—especially since the sensations inside indicated as much—he hurriedly stated his intent, "I am the Order Officer of the General of Return. The General has business with you!"

Within the Patrol Navy, all matters were settled by capability, with the strong respected above all. A General's position was at least at the level of a Demon God. Wang Qi had yet to receive news from that female dragon and had no intention to leave the Patrol Navy, naturally, he wouldn't kill the Order Officer or sour relations with the Patrol Navy General.

Wang Qi maneuvered the Divine Body of the Yellow Robed King, gliding over to the Demon who claimed to be a messenger, and extended tentacles to wrap around the Demon. The Demon, thinking the Yellow Robed King was ferociously intent on consuming him, started screaming in terror. However, Wang Qi let the tentacles of the Yellow Robed King turn ethereal, then swiftly scooped out all of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell Power from the Demon.

The creature let out a wretched scream. In that brief period, the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell had already eroded ten percent of its Essence Demon Energy and was starting to affect its Soul. Wang Qi wasn't planning on spreading the Anti-Demon Spell among the Demon Clan just yet, so he opted for the quickest method, commanding the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell within the Demon's body to "come out." This was akin to ripping a chunk of flesh from the Demon's heart, causing it such pain that it wailed loudly.

The Demon, tearful yet without tears, its eyes blazing red, exclaimed, "Ten percent of my cultivation! My foundation!"

The Yellow Robed King seemingly felt a bit bad about it. He extended a tentacle and formed a golden flame-shaped Essence, saying, "My apologies, my fellow. In my youth, I seized a Cultivation Technique of the Buddhist Sect from the Human Clan, called Boluo Divine Flame. I offer it to you as compensation. How does that sound?"

"Cultivation Technique!" The Demon shouted. Cultivation Techniques were the most difficult things for the Demon Clan to acquire. Even the most basic Cultivation Method from the Human Clan contained systemic knowledge beyond the Demon Clan's imagination. He snatched up the Boluo Divine Flame without holding any resentment towards the Yellow Robed King anymore, urgently inquiring, "How do I use this?"

"Swallow it and the Cultivation Method will naturally reveal itself," Wang Qi said with ill-intention. "Should brother deepen his practice in the future, he can pass it on to others in the same way I did, simply by forming such a Boluo Divine Flame."

By now, everyone knew that the Yellow Robed King, Sha Liantai, was very poisonous. To discover something amiss in one's body after contacting the Great Yellow Robed King and yet not examine it, would be utterly foolish. However, anything personally handed out was different.

Yet, the Demon was not an idiot and was bound to be skeptical of the core of the Boluo Divine Flame. He put it away, probably to analyze it, or perhaps to offer it to other prominent figures in exchange for solid, more reassuring benefits. As for this, Wang Qi was indifferent. The Banished Immortals in the Divine Capital were far superior to these rustic demons of the West Sea in their insight, yet they hadn't detected any issue with the Heart Demon Curse, had they?

After securing the "Cultivation Technique," the Demon guessed, "Yellow Robed King, Sha Liantai, General of Return wishes to see you." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to give your vote of recommendation and support. Mobile users may read on m.qidian.com.)
