Free Web NovelChapter 519: Chapter 263: Dao Seed of Heaven-Cutting and Mending, Demonic Influence Gathers Power
The black orb that shot into the pirate’s mind just now, which contained a black seed, held the Mysterious Power of the Celestial Demon Dao, a Secret Technique obtained from the Celestial Demon Relic.
By merging one’s own Soul Power and Magical Power with the Celestial Demon Relic, it becomes imperceptible and subtly makes the cultivator implanted with the Celestial Demon Seed develop a Belief and worship for oneself. freёwebnovel.com
In other words, once marked with the Celestial Demon brand, the thinking of these cultivators is quietly transformed, and deep within their Soul Awareness, a hierarchical thinking brand is inscribed, turning them into slaves that the Master of Celestial Demons can command at will.
Or perhaps Celestial Demon Slaves.
Of course, compared to those crude Soul Control Skills and the various chaotic methods of refining Puppets, the genuinely unpredictable aspect of the Celestial Demon Seed is that, without altering the personality and inherent abilities of the cultivator, it allows them independent thinking and ideas. However, the distortion of their thoughts unknowingly turns them into living, thinking Puppets.
This method is truly terrifying.
If it were to spread, it could even make Zheng Yi the enemy of all cultivators.
Even Zheng Yi, now deeply studying the Celestial Demon Relic, increasingly senses the horrors of this Outer Realm technique.
It’s incredibly eerie. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Undoubtedly, the most terrifying aspect of this Celestial Demon Slave is the subtlety and silence.
If one’s will is not resolute and Zheng Yi finds a breach in their Heart Spirit, just like these pirates who were not particularly firm-minded cultivators, they are easily implanted with the Celestial Demon Seed by Zheng Yi, transforming them into the most frightful slaves.
They appear to be normal individuals, possessing personal thoughts, seemingly unchanged from before; even acquaintances cannot tell the difference. Yet, in essence, they have already been distorted by Zheng Yi. All it takes is a command from Zheng Yi, and they will utilize their own abilities to achieve a series of objectives.
They might not even realize it’s an order.
Instead, they think it’s their own idea.
Since the powers of the Heaven-Cutting Vine have not fully recovered and Zheng Yi’s own Magical Power is still severely diminished and not at its true peak state, and since he is in an unfamiliar Sea Realm, the best course of action for Zheng Yi is to manipulate from the shadows.
First, he requires a powerful force that he can utilize freely, even as expendables, without regret.
Hence, pirates are a very good choice.
After all, these pirates live dangerous lives, their survival uncertain, having committed numerous crimes of murder and robbery. Most have vulnerabilities in their Heart Spirit, making them perfect hosts for the Celestial Demon Seed to possess and become Celestial Demon Slaves.
Moreover, these pirates’ minds are extremely twisted, capable of even rebelling against their Leader in a frenzy, making them more suitable as expendables.
Thus, Zheng Yi began experimenting with the effects of the Celestial Demon Seed. Once the effect meets his expectations, he could roll it out on a large scale and quickly gain substantial dominance in this sea region.
Having experienced a series of battles in the Sumeru Forest Cave Mansion, especially after the subsequent baptism by the True Meaning of the Netherworld and witnessing the fierce clashes between Nascent Souls.
Zheng Yi feels that his own realm has shown signs of being uncontainable, more importantly, he has already reached the edge of Core Formation in Magical Power. Once the Seven Treasures Skill coalesces, he could break through to the Top-Grade Golden Core in one go.
At that point, swallow a Golden Core, and henceforth my destiny is unfettered by the heavens.
A Core Formation Cultivator marks the beginning of the Great Dao.
On this point, Zheng Yi is very clear. Having just plundered a considerable amount of Sea Giant Beast’s Life Origin, and the Heaven-Cutting Vine having absorbed the lives of several pirate cultivators, it received a partial replenishment of power.
But this is still far from enough.
He needs more Celestial and Earthly Treasures.
Gather all Spirit Essences to fully replenish the Heaven-Cutting Vine.
As for lighting up the seven resplendent star Divine Techniques on the Heaven-Cutting Vine, there is still a considerable gap.
With Zheng Yi’s own strength, to achieve the acquisition of such vast resources by himself would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But if he controls a force, a vast and powerful force, acquiring such resources becomes much easier.
After all, with a large number of people as a base, the resources obtained absolutely surpass the limits of what an individual can achieve.
Moreover, currently isolated and in a strange place.
Zheng Yi also needs a secure foothold.
...
After subduing the pirates, Zheng Yi began to understand the specific circumstances of this Sea Realm.
This sea region is called the East Origin Sea Region, a significant part of the vast East Sea Sea Realm.
As expected, there are no extensive lands in this sea region, only numerous islands dotting the sea, scattered throughout the maritime area, connecting to form island chains.
Most of these islands are controlled by powerful cultivators, while pirates serve as another formidable and unignorable force.
Just like the pirates attacking the trading convoy this time are a squad under a considerable pirate gang.
In the East Origin Sea Region, pirate gangs are countless, among which the relatively famous One Hundred and Eight Paths Pirate Gangs, and furthermore, the Eighteen Great Pirates.
These brutal pirate groups and notorious Great Pirates are spread throughout this vast ocean, each hidden in unnamed corners like wolves, emerging en masse to tear and devour their prey when they spot one, turning it into a feast.
