"Nicely said, but do you think I'll believe it?" Demon Jiu Li said coldly.
The man in black yawned, speaking lazily like a sly snake, "Then there's no way around it. Who told you to be less skilled than me?"
"You..." Demon Jiu Li was choked with anger.
She had not expected her avatar to make a mistake, which weakened her strength and allowed the person in front of her to take advantage, stealing her prey.
Saying she was less skilled was not incorrect.
But this was precisely the most infuriating fact.
Great Demon Jiu Li tried to calm herself, and after a moment, she snorted coldly, saying, "Do you know you've devoured an important figure from the government office? I've heard this person was one of the big figures sent by the Ji Family Court. Do you think the Ji Family Court will let you go after such rampant devouring?"
"It sounds as if they'd let me go if I didn't eat them. In any case, demons and humans don't coexist, and they'd come to kill me sooner or later. Rather than waiting for them to kill me, I'd better kill them first, gaining strength in the process."
The man in black continued, "Speaking of which, do you think behaving recklessly in Yongzhou City will make them let you go? Don't let yourself be used as a tool without realizing it."
"I didn't expect this old snake like you to have some brains. My matters naturally don't need your concern."
"I belong to the Dragon Species, different from you foxy demons." The man in black held his head high, showing a trace of pride as he spoke.
"Just because I praised you, you think you're something." Great Demon Jiu Li said, "What you can think of, I can naturally think of as well. But riches and honor come from danger; they're using me, but am I not using them? I've already notified the city's demons to indulge for a day and then leave immediately; all will be well. If they covet the city's temptations, then dying is their fate."
"The things I've obtained in these days are much more than your trifles outside. Once they come to their senses, I'll flee, seeking Spirit Mechanisms, and what can they do to me?"
Great Demon Jiu Li spoke with a strong self-confidence, stunning the man in black for a moment.
"You opportunistic snake-rat types will never understand such strategies."
"You!"
The man in black became infuriated, and black scales began to appear on his neck.
Seeing him angry and humiliated, Great Demon Jiu Li felt satisfaction from within. She showed a broad demeanor and said, "I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
"What idea? Speak!"
"Here are just you and me as two great demons; this time, the Spirit Essence descending is enough for us to share. Instead of fighting each other, why not collaborate to eliminate those pesky humans and monopolize this Spirit Essence? Consider the Innate Body as my gesture of goodwill. How about it?"
Upon hearing about the Spirit Essence, the man in black calmed down unexpectedly. He pondered for a while and said, "Alright!"
Rumble!
Suddenly, the earth shook.
The two great demons hurriedly dashed out of the big house and looked westward, revealing a few traces of ecstasy upon seeing the glowing clouds filling the sky.
"Time is of the essence, let's go!"
Unconsciously, the two demons each summoned and controlled a cloud, one black, one white, dashing away.
...
Amidst the glowing clouds of the mountains and forests,
Shen Qing was enveloped in countless halos.
All around him, multicolored vortices appeared at each of his acupoints, with massive amounts of Spiritual Energy drilling into his body.
Shen Qing opened his eyes, observing the rapidly changing numbers on the water ink panel, his eyes filled with an incredulous look.
He knew this opportunity was extremely rare and decisively used the Wish Power Pearl. With the stacking power of the Wish Power Pearl, his cultivation speed soared like a rocket.
[Skill: Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique (Level of Mastery)]
[Progress: 2639/3000 points]
[Progress: 2701/3000 points]
[Progress: 2781/3000 points]
Stay tuned to empire
...
In just a few dozen breaths, the progress of the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique had increased by over a hundred points, a hundred times more than usual.
Furthermore, a similar change occurred within his Qi Sea.
Shen Qing found that as he continued cultivating, refining the constantly incoming Spiritual Energy, the "Dan Ying" sitting cross-legged in his Qi Sea was visibly growing at an eye-popping speed.
From a three-year-old toddler, it turned into a four-year-old, five-year-old, then a seven-year-old boy resembling Shen Qing.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he broke through to the Innate Realm.
Shen Qing was excited and concentrated even harder on cultivating the Spiritual Energy.
After the time of a stick of incense, Shen Qing's consciousness moved as he called forth the water ink panel.
[Skill: Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique (Level of Mastery)]
[Progress: 3001/3000 points]
[Status: Breakthrough possible]
[Note: Observing widely and carefully selecting, building a solid foundation before unleashing potential. Your dedicated cultivation has yielded new rewards. In this breakthrough, your 'Moluo's Body' will further strengthen; Spiritual Power absorption and conversion speed increased by 30%, and blood and flesh recovery speed increased by 10%.]
Looking at the familiar status bar, Shen Qing did not hesitate and chose to breakthrough.
With a low buzzing sound,
The water ink panel trembled before quickly refreshing.
[Skill: Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique (Great Perfection)]
[Progress: 1/4000 points]
[Status: Breakthrough impossible]
[Note: Your awakened 'Moluo's Body' further strengthened; Spiritual Power absorption and conversion speed successfully increased by 30%, blood and flesh recovery speed successfully increased by 10%.]
Success!
Shen Qing clenched his fists in excitement.
Familiar massive memories surged into his mind, his strong Divine Sense remaining composed, expelling all negative effects.
After all the memories were absorbed, Shen Qing's meridians became as smooth as jade, full of resilience, and nurtured a trace of golden blood, which amazed Shen Qing.
But he had no time to study it carefully.
Such a rare opportunity, he quickly concentrated his mind and eagerly continued with his diligent cultivation.
"Now that the Whale Swallowing Technique has been cultivated to Great Perfection, the Sky Flipping Seal and Heavenly Bow Technique should also be quickly improved. These are the fundamental martial arts, and they should progress simultaneously."
Shen Qing quickly made up his mind, using the Whale Swallowing Technique as a support, forming a seal with both hands and cultivating this martial art, the Sky Flipping Seal.
He closed his eyes and focused, operating the Whale Swallowing Technique.
Even when Shen Qing simply carried out the basic operation, with the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique reaching Great Perfection, the speed at which he absorbed Spiritual Energy was still much faster than before, advancing to a new level.
Once the Spiritual Energy was steadily drawn into the Qi Sea, Shen Qing's arms raised slowly as if lifting a thousand-pound burden, cultivating the Sky Flipping Seal.
His hands formed an ancient, mysterious posture, linking finger to finger, creating an invisible "Sky" as Heaven and Earth Essence gathered quietly, embodying the martial essence of overturning the sky and commotion.
Shen Qing seemed to transform into an ancient statue, standing immovably in the flow of time, with turbulent currents building strength within him like a volcano about to erupt.
The same scene as with the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique occurred.
The progress of the Sky Flipping Seal continued to advance on the water ink panel in his view.
[Skill: Sky Flipping Seal (Level of Mastery)]
[Progress: 89/900 points]
[Progress: 138/900 points]
[Progress: 275/900 points]
...
After a dozen breaths, the points of the Sky Flipping Seal met the requirement.
Shen Qing immediately chose to breakthrough, and since the points required for each realm of the Sky Flipping Seal were not many, he progressed from the Level of Mastery to Great Perfection, and immediately to the Break Limit level.
[Skill: Sky Flipping Seal (Break Limit)]
[Progress: 18/2000 points]
[Status: Breakthrough impossible]
[Note: Your Sky Flipping Seal has reached Break Limit. Comprehend the Break Limit skill, Shattering Mountains. Using this skill can increase the power of the Sky Flipping Seal by 10% in an instant.]
Shen Qing ignored these reminders, a resolute heart driving him, "With such a divine opportunity, water ink panel, show me your true limit. Time waits for no one; continue advancing!"
Buzz!
The water ink panel shook.
Under Shen Qing's full cultivation effort, the points above soared.
After the time of a stick of incense,
The familiar sense of breakthrough made Shen Qing's eyes shine brilliantly.
[Skill: Sky Flipping Seal (Break Limit)]
[Progress: 2001/2000 points]
[Status: Breakthrough possible]
[Note: After playing numerous melodies, you finally understand the sound; after viewing countless swords, you discern the blade. Your Sky Flipping Seal has been cultivated to the utmost limit, and by continuing to improve, you'll comprehend 'Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal.'"]
"Breakthrough!"
The water ink panel in Shen Qing's view quivered with intensity, the skill text for the Sky Flipping Seal blending into a mass of ink dots.
Moments later, new information refreshed.
[Skill: Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal (Entry Level)]
[Progress: 1/5000 points]
[Status: Breakthrough impossible]
[Note: Perceive the mysteries of the Eight Desolates and comprehend the Dao of birth and death in the universe. You've comprehended the 'Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal'; cultivate it to its peak, and with one seal, all things may live or perish at a whim.]
"The Eight Desolates" refer to the distant eight directions, representing infinity; "Annihilation Dao," the way of life and death in all things.
At the moment this panel information appeared, Shen Qing sensed a tremor from the depths of his soul.
An extreme realization exploded in his heart, forcing countless massive memories into his mind, allowing no reaction time.
Even with his powerful Divine Sense, this sudden onslaught left Shen Qing somewhat unprepared, rendering him holding his head with a groan of pain.
After an indeterminate period, all memories fused into one, and as Shen Qing absorbed and comprehended them, the pain gradually subsided.
Shen Qing returned to normal, his arms trembling as if breaking free from shackles, familiar sensations returned.
Forming a seal with both hands, a mysterious rune abruptly took shape within his grasp, embracing yin and yang, charged with destructive force, as he slammed it forward with overwhelming might.
A brilliant light cleaved the sky, tearing through the void as if creating heaven and earth anew.
There was no anticipated violent commotion.
Before him, a mountain vanished into nothingness under Shen Qing's palm, leaving no trace.
This was the opening move of the Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal—Genesis.
Watching this scene, Shen Qing clicked his tongue in wonder.
He did not expect such a technique to wield such terrifying power, akin to an ancient great power.
Something he had never thought possible.
Shen Qing pondered deeply, soon realizing the crux of the matter.
It was due to this Spirit Mechanism Land!
The Spirit Mechanism Land was rich with Spiritual Energy, replenishing rapidly after depletion.
Leaving this range, utilizing such a technique could drain all his Spiritual Power, leaving him unable to stand.
Shen Qing could hardly imagine, if in ancient times, when the world's Spiritual Energy was this concentrated, what spectacle cultivators would present.
He could not help but yearn for it.
