Chapter 745: Chapter 586: The Old Demon Preaches the Dao

Mo Lingwei heard this and saluted back: "If it weren’t for the Isle Master’s rebirth grace, how could Lingwei have today’s fortune."

"I am willing to stay and continue to help the Isle Master manage the Spirit Island, following you eternally in this life."

Her answer did not surprise Qin Ming at all.

This is simply someone who knows how to speak well.

Cultivation is all about understanding human relationships!

He nodded quite contentedly and said, "Alright, suit yourself then."

"In the future, you may choose any Tier Four Spirit Vein Cave Mansion below the main peak to cultivate."

"Lingwei thanks the Isle Master." Mo Lingwei expressed her gratitude once more.

Ever since she broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, her entire demeanor changed greatly, imbued with an unhurried fairy-like grace.

Afterwards.

The two exchanged words again, with Qin Ming casually advising on some affairs following the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Mo Lingwei also listened attentively, as if obtaining a treasure, benefiting greatly.

Such experience is not something one can find anywhere.

Firstly, one needs a great backer of Nascent Soul Great Perfection level.

Days later, news of a newly minted Nascent Soul True Monarch on Wangyue Island spread throughout the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

Although many had vaguely guessed which predecessor it might be, when the news arrived, all cultivators were filled with emotion and lament.

After Mo Lingwei achieved Nascent Soul, she also took the Dao title ’True Monarch Qingxia.’ ƒгeewebnovёl.com

With Qin Ming’s approval, she held a Nascent Soul Ceremony on Wangyue Island, where various forces sent representatives to offer congratulations.

The celebration was lively for nearly half a month before gradually dispersing.

Furthermore, because of Qin Ming’s reputation, even sect powers from several other major cultivation realms sent envoys to attend, including some great cultivators, giving considerable face.

The grand presentation was fully realized.

After all, True Monarch Qingxia is now the Grand Steward of Wangyue Island, responsible for all matters inside and out of the island.

...

Time wheels on, seasons change.

Another two years have passed.

During this period, Qin Ming laid low, having been considering where to muster all his strength to impact Divinity Transformation.

He was pondering.

When he heard the Qingyang the Old Demon within the Blood Massacre Spiritual Treasure say regretfully, "Alas! What a pity, Friend Qin."

"Old ghost, what are you pitying about?" Qin Ming asked.

"For Friend Qin to rely on the Four-Element Pseudo Spirit Root talent to cultivate to this level is truly a miracle, moreover, you have cultivated the Cyan Emperor Wood Emperor Sacred Body to Great Success."

"But that is still an acquired spirit body, even if it allows you to refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi faster before the Divinity Transformation Stage, it ultimately isn’t innately born."

"If it were an ordinary cultivator, I would let it be and not say these things, but Friend Qin is no ordinary person, so it has to be said."

Qin Ming asked in surprise: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Hehehe! If Friend Qin could complete the Five Elements Spirit Root and then attempt Divinity Transformation, it would be very beneficial for you to break through to the Void Refining Stage later, and could increase the success probability considerably."

"Ordinarily, Pseudo Spirit Roots would have trouble even at Foundation Establishment in the Cultivation Realm, not to mention breaking through Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation, yet as you’ve defied the norm and achieved it, everything becomes different." Qingyang the Old Demon said with a smile.

Qin Ming became interested after hearing Qingyang the Old Demon say this.

As the Void Refining Stage is indeed too distant for him at present.

That was something he intended to consider after ascending to the Spirit Realm, not expecting the old demon would disclose information about higher realms so early.

Qingyang the Old Demon leisurely remarked: "Hehe! A Void Refiner, without a god to condense, returns to the boundless, thus, breaking through to Void Refining requires blending the Five Elements into one, to experience the void."

"Newly transformed Divinity Transformation Venerables can only control one type of Five Elements Spiritual Qi."

"The elite in the Spirit Realm can at most control two or three types of Five Elements Spiritual Qi at once."

"But those with Five Spirit Roots are different, after breaking through to Divinity Transformation, they can control the Power of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, which not only facilitates cultivation but also exceeds ordinary Divinity Transformations in divine techniques and battles."

"It is said that during the ancient times in the Spirit Realm, there were cultivators with Innate Five Elements Dao Body who took alternative paths to cultivate to Void Refining, or even higher realms, effectively commanding the elements, with many such instances."

After hearing this, Qin Ming couldn’t help but ask: "Old ghost, aren’t you talking about yourself?"

"Cough cough cough! I wouldn’t have fallen to this state if I had such fortune." Qingyang the Old Demon was startled, quickly clearing his throat and explaining.

Qin Ming immediately asked: "You’ve said so much, do you by any chance have a method to complete Spirit Roots?"

"Hehe! What Friend Qin said is correct, within the demon technique I practice, there’s a Foundation Stealing Technique which forcibly seizes others’ Spirit Roots and fortune, completing a single type of Five Elements Spirit Root, though this method is too defiant of the natural order and can easily invoke heavenly punishment, it just happens to allow the completion of one Spirit Root, if striving for two or three Roots, then it’s out of luck."

"And presently, Friend Qin only needs to supplement one Earth Spirit Root to complete the Five Elements Spirit Root, it’s simply tailor-made for you!"

"So, are you interested in inheriting my legacy?" Qingyang the Old Demon continued to persuade: "Additionally, it does not conflict with your cultivation of the ’Demon-Monster True Power Technique’, in fact, it would greatly aid in practicing the demon technique, hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming furrowed his brow, unsure of what medicine this old fellow peddled, so he said: "Let me have a look first before deciding."

Then.

Qingyang the Old Demon, without delay, generously transmitted a complete demon technique through his thoughts to him.

In an instant.

Qin Ming’s mind was filled with a volume of the ’Ten Thousand Forms of Selfless Celestial Demon Freedom True Skill’...

Before long, he had skimmed through the entire Demon Technique and quickly found the Foundation Stealing Technique mentioned by Qingyang the Old Demon.

To cultivate this Demon Technique, one must first find a suitable single spirit root cultivator or demon cultivator, or even a demonic cultivator, then wait for the right moment to set up a demon array and seize their spirit root.

’To think that even the destiny tied to a spirit root can be forcefully plundered and bestowed on oneself—that’s truly vicious and domineering!’

After reading, Qin Ming realized that this Demon Technique, which involves killing and aggressive behavior, clearly didn’t suit him.

’This... this! The techniques that come later are even more defiant; for each cultivator of the same level or higher killed, a Heaven-Devouring Blood Pattern can be condensed, and when it reaches a hundred patterns, it can even unleash powers equivalent to Void Refining Divine Technique... What’s even more outrageous is that later there are a thousand patterns... three thousand patterns... nine thousand patterns, essentially cultivating into a ruthless killing machine!’

’This has already entered the path of proving the Dao through killing, pursuing an extreme style of Demon Technique.’

’And I focus on being kind to others, farming, and business, avoiding contention, loving peace—completely not the same path.’

The crucial point is, though this Demon Technique is immensely powerful, it also has a fatal flaw, as seizing someone’s spirit root in such a manner defies even the Heavenly Dao; at every breakthrough in cultivation, one would suffer karmic backlash, and the strength of the tribulations faced would be more than ten times that of an ordinary cultivator...

It’s even more outrageous than the Primordial Evil Seed Demon Scripture, that demonic Pig Raising Technique...

If the cultivation of this technique were to be leaked or discovered, surely everyone would seek to eradicate it.

More resented than his life-shortening Divine Technique!

After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming muttered, "This Demon Technique is too bloody and domineering, not suitable for me. Even if I can’t gather the Five Elements Spirit Roots, I’ll consider it again after reaching Divinity Transformation."

Qingyang the Old Demon became anxious upon hearing this, still trying to persuade: "The Cultivation Realm is essentially survival of the fittest. Friend Qin, think back to the moment you started cultivating; regardless if it’s the Righteous or Demonic Dao, where isn’t there strife for cultivation resources?"

"Only by being selfish, harming others for your own benefit, can you live long."

Qin Ming remained unmoved but still said, "Hmm... Let me think it over..."

"Divinity Transformation is just ahead, Friend Qin. Consider it carefully! After this phase of refining the five elements, it will be almost impossible thereafter," said Qingyang the Old Demon.

...

Inside the cave mansion.

Qin Ming went through the Ten Thousand Forms of Selfless Celestial Demon Freedom True Skill meticulously several times, looking for anything of value.

This Demon Technique was indeed sharp. According to the introduction, after cultivating to the Divinity Transformation Stage, even more advanced techniques would spontaneously appear, allowing one to cultivate to extremely high realms.

This made Qin Ming ponder deeply.

No wonder Qingyang the Old Demon, someone who once descended from the Spirit Realm, ended up in such a predicament, with only a remnant spirit body and soul left.

He himself was a cautionary tale for Qin Ming, a living example.

However.

What happened next dispelled Qin Ming’s concerns.

While he was studying the Demon Technique, a sudden, inexplicable sense of dread arose in his heart.

And it originated from his lifebound spirit plant within the Little Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming’s heart stirred, and a realization crossed his face: "Could it be that the Black Vine, my lifebound spirit plant, is about to advance?"

With this thought, it seemed highly likely since, a few years ago, the Black Vine had devoured that Ten-Thousand-Year Wood Demon and had since been silent.

Now, upon awakening once more, there was only this possibility.

Qin Ming’s figure blurred as he entered the Little Spirit Realm.

Sure enough.

The Immortal Vine in the center of the Spirit Field had grown several dozen more feet; the jet-black vines swayed and danced, and its canopy obscuring the sky and sun was undergoing massive changes.

From the Black Vine, silver runes emanated, swirling uncertainly around the entire spirit plant.

After a while.

The silver spirit patterns on the black vine began to produce a thread of mysterious golden color!

As time went by.

The Black Vine grew wildly, and the golden spirit patterns grew in number, gradually forming golden runes in midair.

These golden runes interwove with the silver runes in the air, creating a strange phenomenon.

The Heaven-Devouring Rats and a few other spirit beasts, attracted by this sudden anomaly, all came over to have a look.

"Oh? Is our master’s odd Black Vine about to advance again?"

"This scene is indeed too spectacular!"

Immediately.

The numerous runes in the sky all fell back onto the vines, forming a pattern of golden and silver spirit patterns across the vine branches.

In the meantime.

The Little Spirit Realm resonated with a mighty Great Dao, lingering over the Black Vine and remaining for a long time.

Wisps of plant essence Qi and the power of time emanated from the black vine spirit plant, feeding back into all the spirit plants within the Little Spirit Realm.

In that moment, countless spirit plants blossomed simultaneously, achieving what only the Ripening Entry could bring about, as though welcoming the Master of Ten Thousand Woods.

Even Tian Ling’er received tremendous benefits, as if descending from the heavens, instantly moving from the early stage to the middle stage of Tier Four.

She wore a look of confusion, blinked her eyes, and stood bewildered in place.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat puzzled, said, "Why didn’t I receive any benefits?"

Yet.

Qin Ming ignored their states because, within his sight, three golden entries had suddenly appeared!

...
