Chapter 131: You don't want your master to know about your cultivation of the demonic inheritance, right? _2
This Nirvana Flame was known as the fire of life.
In legend, it was the very lifeblood of the divine beast, the phoenix.
Liu Qingxuan had naturally expended a great deal of effort to obtain this Nirvana Flame.
The Nine Heavens Thunder Seed could transform Wen Zhixing's Sea of Sense into a thunder pool, and ultimately, his entire divine soul would become the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder.
As long as the thunder pool is undying, the divine soul is undying.
And this Nirvana Flame could turn the entire Sea of Sense into a Nirvana Fire Domain.
Compared to the Nine Heavens Thunder Seed, the main disadvantage of this Nirvana Fire Domain was its lack of offensive power. After all, it was the fire of life, not the fire of world-annihilation.
But correspondingly, the divine soul would be nurtured to become much stronger.
If the Nirvana Flame never extinguishes, then the divine soul will never die.
Even if it were to be extinguished, Liu Qingdai would be reborn from the ashes in nirvana.
Now that the Nirvana Flame had finally been successfully planted, as long as Liu Qingdai didn't provoke any heaven-defying beings, it would be very hard for her to die.
After being reborn through nirvana, she would even become stronger.
The only problem is, after nirvana comes a new life, and all that came before would then belong to the past.
Hmm? What is this…
It was at this moment that Liu Qingxuan sensed something strange.
Devil Qi…
A gleam shot from his eyes as he looked upwards.
It was a devil seed, releasing energy and rapidly contaminating the entire Sea of Sense.
Had it not been for the Nirvana Flame by his side, this place too would likely have been tainted.
This is… a devil seed!
Liu Qingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
A devil seed. He hadn't seen such a thing for countless years.
Back in the day, it was with this devil seed that the Wonderous Palace made the Righteous Sun Sect suffer immensely.
This devil seed was exceedingly covert; once planted, it was extremely difficult to detect.
A substantial number of Righteous Sun Sect disciples had been secretly controlled by the Wonderous Palace.
For this, the Righteous Sun Sect had paid a heavy price.
This situation persisted until the demonic territory in this region was thoroughly suppressed by the Righteous Sun Sect, preventing the Wonderous Palace from producing new devil seeds. Only then did things settle down.
To think that he would see it again now.
Liu Qingxuan swiped his hand in front of him, and the scenery outside appeared directly before him.
Hua Yourong was standing arrogantly in front of Liu Qingdai, her face bearing a smirk.
Si Nanyan…
With just one glance, Liu Qingxuan recognized who this person was.
It wasn't that his eyes had penetrated the Fortune Divine Devil Skill, but rather that he knew Si Nanyan all too well.
This expression, he had seen more than once on Si Nanyan's face.
Si Nanyan… Hua Yourong… The Fortune Divine Devil Skill, huh... I see now…
Liu Qingxuan immediately understood.
Si Nanyan had assumed another's identity, altering her appearance to create chaos within the Righteous Sun Sect.
If the devil seed had reemerged, then the earlier incident at the Devil Sealing Cave was no accident, but Si Nanyan's doing.
Then the issue within Wen Zhixing's Sea of Sense may well be due to a planted devil seed.
Who was Liu Qingxuan, to have figured everything out so swiftly?
Liu Qingxuan shook his head, somewhat speechless. Si Nanyan, as the palace master of the Wonderous Palace and a cultivator of the Divine Communication Realm, to think you'd stoop to such tactics! Is this some kind of joke? Since when do sect masters personally go undercover in other sects?
No wonder Wen Zhixing had refused to reveal his identity. If he had, he truly might have been taken away again.
Well, good. This will teach Daier a lesson and show her the dangers of this world.
Seeing Liu Qingdai in such a state, Liu Qingxuan felt angry and wanted to take action immediately, but he held back.
How to educate Liu Qingdai had always been his biggest headache.
Now, Si Nanyan had come to help.
He knew the devil seed well; as long as the devil soul within the devil seed didn't devour the original host's divine soul, there wouldn't be a problem.
With the Nirvana Flame around, even if the Sea of Sense was tainted, it wouldn't be a huge issue.
However... to dare lay hands on my daughter, I can't just let that go without teaching you a lesson.
A fierce light emanated from Liu Qingxuan's eyes.
Within the Righteous Sun Sect, a message was sent out.
All Divine Communication Realm Elders were stirred at this moment.
"Hmm? A message from the Sect Master?"
「Attention all! Proceed to the Wonderous Palace and eliminate their disciples! Now, immediately, at once!」
「Leave no one alive! Slaughter them all!」
Everyone was stunned.
What did this mean? Were they preparing for an all-out battle with the Wonderous Palace?
The members wanted to ask for reasons, but received no response. They were simply told to do as commanded.
「Bombard them for three days, regardless of casualties!」
Liu Qingxuan was truly angered.
Initially, he had reservations about the powerful entity within the Wonderous Palace, but now he no longer cared.
Since Si Nanyan, the palace master of the Wonderous Palace, could resort to such despicable tactics, she couldn't blame him, Liu Qingxuan, for getting rough too.
Having done all this, within Liu Qingdai's Sea of Sense, Liu Qingxuan's hand waved again.
The devil soul, swaggering just a moment before, suddenly stiffened, its expression turning to horror.
It felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible giant hand.
The next moment, the eyes of the devil soul dimmed instantly.
Without any resistance, its consciousness was directly erased.
"Take!"
With another gesture, Liu Qingxuan drew the devil seed into his palm. He did not completely destroy it.
Let Liu Qingdai suffer a bit more for now.
At this moment, Si Nanyan was completely oblivious to this.
She was still immersed in her own delightful world.
She never imagined that Liu Qingxuan would split a part of his divine soul to protect his own daughter.
Such an act dealt too great a blow to the divine soul, possibly even leaving behind hidden dangers that would prevent further progress.
She hadn't expected Liu Qingdai's Sea of Sense to harbor something like the Nirvana Flame.
This sort of treasure was something even she didn't possess.
Si Nanyan lifted Liu Qingdai's chin with the tip of her foot and nodded in satisfaction after seeing her eyes completely filled with Devil Qi.
A strand of her spiritual sense even entered Liu Qingdai's forehead. There, she witnessed the entire Sea of Sense become turbulent and turn pitch-black, as if being swept up by a tempest.
After a thorough examination, she was satisfied and withdrew.
By now, the devil soul should be devouring Liu Qingdai's divine soul.
By the time Liu Qingdai woke up next, she would be thoroughly transformed into her devil servant.
Right, there's another one.
Si Nanyan then turned her head to look at Zhang Tiancheng nearby.
She had some recollection of this Zhang Tiancheng; he had also been a furnace for the Wonderous Palace.
And he had escaped not long ago.
For a furnace to become an inner sect disciple so quickly did surprise her somewhat.
Especially since Zhang Tiancheng's calm demeanor at the moment seemed rather extraordinary.
Without asking any questions, she let her spiritual sense enter Zhang Tiancheng's body directly.
Eh? This body...
Si Nanyan was taken aback.
The moment she entered, she sensed an extremely dense lifelessness.
A dead person?
Si Nanyan was genuinely shocked this time.
How could this be? Is this still a living person's body? Why is there such dense lifelessness when he clearly looks like a living person? But why is it filled with lifelessness inside?
Could it be...
The next moment, Si Nanyan's spiritual sense surged into Zhang Tiancheng's Sea of Sense.
The Sea of Sense is still there... but it seems artificially crafted...
Si Nanyan's eyes gleamed as she found Zhang Tiancheng's divine soul.
Though this divine soul was not fully cohesive, it was evident that it had been patched together from various parts.
There were many spiritual imprints merged into the divine soul.
It seems... like the secret skill of the Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign...
The more Si Nanyan saw, the more shocked she became.
The scene before her reminded her of an unparalleled God pride.
—The Stealing Daytime and Changing Daytime Demon Sovereign!
This Demon Lord had a secret skill that could turn other people into his living dead puppets.
And their appearance was completely indistinguishable from a normal person.
Even a probe with spiritual sense would hardly reveal any difference.
Clearly, someone had obtained this Demon Lord's inheritance and turned Zhang Tiancheng into a puppet, completely under their control.
However, the crafting method was too crude; it was obvious the technique hadn't been completely mastered.
Si Nanyan hadn't paid much attention to this Zhang Tiancheng initially, but now she found herself pleasantly surprised by this discovery.
With this in mind, Si Nanyan slowly turned her head and said with a coquettish laugh, "Zhang Tiancheng, I hear it was Mu Yunqing who promoted you to inner sect disciple, wasn't it?"
Zhang Tiancheng's expression was wooden, and he said nothing.
Who would have thought? Who would have thought that the esteemed eldest senior brother of the Righteous Sun Sect would also cultivate such Devil Inheritance.
Without getting a response, Si Nanyan didn't mind and even chuckled to herself.
Today is truly a day of joy after joy!
"Mu Yunqing, you wouldn't want your Master to find out that you're practicing Devil Inheritance, would you?"
Si Nanyan's eyes narrowed slightly as she laughed, her body shaking with mirth.
