Chapter 81
Feeling the changes around him, Du Guyun suddenly looked around. But he found that the table in front of him was undamaged.
This means that the things just now were not real, but an illusion. However, the jade slip on the table tells him that everything before was real.
“Master, was that person at the Great Saint realm?”
Du Guyun asked Cang Lao.
“What Great Saint?” Cang Lao’s voice carried confusion.
Hearing this, Du Guyun was somewhat shocked; even Cang Lao didn’t notice? He hesitated for a moment and told Cang Lao what had happened.
“You said Du Guxiong is your father?” Cang Lao’s voice trembled with fear, which made Du Guyun even more puzzled.
Does Master recognize Du Guxiong? He seems to be quite fearful?
“Hard not to recognize! Have you ever heard of the Extreme Path Demon Sect!” Cang Lao asked.
“Of course, who hasn’t heard of the Extreme Path Demon Sect? This is the demon path of the Nine Heavens Realm that everyone wants to eliminate. They dare not show up or they will be purged by all forces!”
“Why are you asking this, Master?” Du Guyun said.
“Du Guxiong is the sect master of the Extreme Path Demon Sect!”
“He stepped into the Great Saint realm thousands of years ago, and back then he slaughtered all over the Central State, with unimaginable blood on his hands!”
“No wonder I couldn’t detect it, so it was him! If it’s him, then it’s normal!” Cang Lao sighed. He never thought that his own nominal disciple would turn out to be the son of Du Guxiong.
“He’s that powerful?” Asked by the shocked Du Guyun. That guy actually spoke the truth.
“Of course, he was already invincible in the world thousands of years ago! Now, thousands of years have passed, and no one knows his true strength!”
“From now on, do not expose your identity. If it gets out, you will basically not be able to stay in the Nine Heavens Realm, and you will only be able to go to the Extreme Path Demon Sect, becoming a rat that everyone shouts to beat!” Cang Lao advised.
He knew well the resentment various forces held towards the Extreme Path Demon Sect.
If Du Guyun’s identity were exposed, it would attract the execution of multiple forces. Especially with Du Guyun’s identity, he would become bait to draw out the Extreme Path Demon Sect.
In any case, once Du Guyun’s identity is exposed, his end will definitely be tragic!
“I know this!” Du Guyun looked at the jade slip in his hand and said complexly. He naturally understood what Cang Lao was talking about.
He now has no time to care about these things. He needs to consider his current choices. Whether to cultivate or not. Without cultivation, it would be difficult to have a chance to replace Jiang Chen.
With cultivation, there’s still a glimmer of hope, even if it’s slim.
“Master, do you know about the Immortal Devouring Technique?” Du Guyun knew his master was knowledgeable and understood many things…
It might be possible to learn about the Immortal Devouring Technique through his master. To discern the truth of what Du Guxiong said.
“Immortal Devouring Technique! Why do you ask about this?” Cang Lao was extremely puzzled.
“The scripture Du Guxiong gave me is this secret technique!” Du Guyun answered truthfully!
“What did you say? Du Guxiong gave you the Immortal Devouring Technique? Then he truly is your father. Such a secret technique has been bestowed upon you!”
Cang Lao was extremely shocked, then began to explain, “This is a supreme divine art, its origins have been lost to time, but this art has one extremely powerful feature: it can indefinitely devour others’ essence to enhance one’s own essence!”
“Even a mortal, once enough essence is devoured, can transform into an unparalleled genius! However, this art has some drawbacks. Because its power is too cruel and inhumane, it is not accepted by people.”
“Thus, it is also known as a demonic technique, and like the demonic path, it is universally condemned. Once exposed, one will become a target for everyone!”
“Yet, due to its unique properties, countless people covet it!” After a pause, Cang Lao asked, “Do you intend to practice this secret technique?”
“Yes! This is my only chance. Only by practicing this technique will I have the hope to surpass the Primordial Holy Son, even to trample him underfoot!” As he spoke of this, Du Guyun’s eyes blazed with fervor.
Surpassing Jiang Chen has become Du Guyun’s obsession. Especially since the internal competition when Jiang Chen didn’t show up, leading to his embarrassment, Du Guyun harbored deep resentment towards Jiang Chen.
He felt Jiang Chen looked down on him. For this reason, Du Guyun vowed to use any means necessary to trample Jiang Chen underfoot, to let him know the taste of being despised.
“This indeed is your only chance! I also permit you to use this secret technique! But there’s a condition. Once you have devoured an entity’s essence, you must rest for a month!”
“Only after completely transforming the essence can you use this technique again! This is a drawback of the Immortal Devouring Technique. It requires a certain amount of time to fully digest others’ essence.”
“Otherwise, remnants of others’ aura will remain in you. Ordinary people may not detect it, but those familiar with this technique can easily notice, especially those with strong backgrounds are more likely to detect it!”
“Once you’re discovered, you will have no place in the Nine Heavens Realm. By then, you can only end up like your father, relegated to the demonic path!” Cang Lao said gravely.
“Master, you can rest assured! I will certainly remember! Until I have absolute strength, until the moment I trample Jiang Chen underfoot, I will not let anyone detect it!” Du Guyun took a deep breath and said solemnly.
He was well aware of the benefits and risks of the Immortal Devouring Technique.
“Since that’s the case, you shouldn’t return to the Primordial Holy Land for now. Through the Immortal Devouring Technique, quickly grow stronger. When the time comes, give the Primordial Holy Land, and all of the Nine Heavens Realm, a surprise!”
“Show them that the Primordial Holy Land isn’t just about the Primordial Holy Son, and that among humanity, he isn’t the strongest! And you, you will become the new Primordial Holy Son, even the Primordial Holy Master!” Cang Lao became more excited as he spoke, as if he had already seen Du Guyun achieving all this.
“Master, why are you more excited than I am?” Du Guyun was somewhat speechless. Even he, the person involved, wasn’t as excited as him.
“Isn’t it because I see my disciple having a bright future ahead, and I’m excited by the prospect of quickly reconstructing my physical body?” He said with a laugh.
“Master, rest assured, I will surely help you reconstruct your body, even making you stronger than before! And I will also step on the Primordial Holy Son!” As Du Guyun spoke, he felt an emotional surge, just as excited as the elder had been, as if he had already seen the future.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had just returned to Yang City and was preparing to rest when a notification sound rang out.
“Ding, congratulations host for successfully slacking off, you have obtained a Dao Fruit!”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was shocked and couldn’t help but curse in his mind. The reason for his reaction was that the reward he received this time was too terrifying.
Dao Fruit.
At the pinnacle of the Dao of cultivation, when stepping into the Dao of Immortality, the laws comprehended will condense into a Dao Fruit! This represents the Dao of a true immortal and the source of one’s power.
A single Dao Fruit signifies a true immortal! Does having a Dao Fruit mean direct ascension to immortality? Not necessarily.
However, possessing a Dao Fruit means the path ahead is clear, and ascending to the realm of a true immortal is assured! Yet, the realm would be fixed at the true immortal realm, unable to advance further.
