Chapter 343: 343. From Beginner to Ascension

“No, please!!”

Before Ya Zi’s slave could thank him, Li Yan screamed, rushed over and tightly hugged Fang Zhou’s leg, crying uncontrollably: “No, I’ll do whatever you say, please don’t hand me over to this demon!!”

If it were any other beautiful woman begging Fang Zhou like this, he might feel some pity, but Li Yan was a heartless cult follower.

Fang Zhou had always been cold as winter towards cult followers and directly kicked Li Yan towards Ya Zi’s slave.

Li Yan cried and screamed, rolling on the ground, but was still dragged away by Ya Zi’s slave.

Nearly ten days passed like this, and when Fang Zhou saw Li Yan again, she had already been trained by Ya Zi’s slave.

She had become Ya Zi’s slave’s new mount, locked with a dog chain, her expression numb, and she was very obedient to any order from Ya Zi’s slave.

Luo Xuan followed behind, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face–displeased at having her status as a mount taken.

Ya Zi’s slave was in high spirits, riding one under him and holding another in his hand, beyond delighted.

Fang Zhou had Ya Zi’s slave bring Li Yan over to start questioning her about the True Mother God Sect’s information.

Whatever Li Yan was asked, she answered without any concealment.

She was a trusted subordinate of General Yaksha and knew far more information than Luo Xuan.

The True Mother God Sect was very famous in the Cultivation World, as it was the largest cult, though outsiders knew very little about it.

Because the internal management of the True Mother God Sect was extremely strict, and departments didn’t interfere with each other, forbidding the probing of information,

Li Yan belonged to Black Yaksha, a special operations team responsible for causing trouble all over the Cultivation World.

The supreme commander of Black Yaksha was Bisha Heavenly King, whom Li Yan had only heard of her superior’s superior’s name and had never seen personally.

Bisha Heavenly King had eight General Yakshas under his command, one of whom Fang Zhou had eliminated, known as Poison Fire Ghost Crow.

The Cultivation World was vast, and the Central Plains Five Countries were just a small part, with Poison Fire Ghost Crow and another General Yaksha operating secretly in the Central Plains.

Now that Fang Zhou had eliminated one of them, the True Mother God Sect would likely soon send someone else to take over.

The headquarters of the True Mother God Sect were far on the highland of the north and south, with no fixed base in the Central Plains area, constantly changing to prevent being exposed.

So Fang Zhou found it unlikely to gain any advantage through Li Yan.

After questioning for a while, he didn’t learn any significant secrets; although Li Yan’s status was higher than Luo Xuan’s, it wasn’t by much, and Poison Fire Ghost Crow wouldn’t reveal secrets to her.

Foundation Establishment Realm, no matter where, was an advanced mixed soldier, without the qualification to know more.

Fang Zhou felt slightly disappointed, but he wouldn’t force it too much.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and the Wise Time was finally ready.

Fang Zhou immediately slowed down the time in the gourd space from 35:1 to 1:2, making it half as slow as reality.

After slowing down time, although it didn’t feel like much difference, Fang Zhou subconsciously felt much better, otherwise staying in the 35x time flow, every moment felt like a waste of life.

After reviewing in his mind the inscription he had seen on the stele a few times, he released the Wise Time and entered the Enlightenment State.

In the Enlightenment State, the seemingly plain inscription became somewhat different.

Each phrase and pronunciation contained a certain pattern; if you completely shuffled these thousands of characters and rearranged them according to the pattern, it becomes a brand-new inscription.

Continuing to arrange them in this pattern, dozens of brand-new inscriptions could be compiled, which were coherent and part of a whole.

In the Enlightenment State, Fang Zhou’s mind was unprecedentedly clear as if on cheat mode.

He quickly arranged these dozens of inscriptions, sequentially lining up each one, forming a whole, and a Divine Skill hidden for hundreds of years immediately appeared before him.

The “Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill”

The name was long, with quite an impressive background.

The inscription not only recorded the Divine Skill but also its origin.

This Divine Skill was authored by the Blood Burning Sky Demon thousands of years ago, with a power that could shake the heavens and earth, turning miles into a vast sea of blood.

The Blood Burning Sky Demon perished a thousand years ago in the White Demon God Extermination Path War, and after death, the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill was lost.

Hundreds of years ago, Zhao Lingbo found the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill in an ancient relic, practiced deep in the mountains for thirty years, and became famous in one battle upon returning to the world, becoming known as the True Master Blood God across the Cultivation World.

This inscription was written by True Master Blood God Zhao Lingbo, and besides recounting the origin of the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill, she also boastfully recorded her battle achievements, defeating various experts.

Fang Zhou meticulously arranged all the characters and naturally memorized the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill.

The rumors were not exaggerated; it truly was an earth-shattering Divine Skill, much like the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, encompassing courses from entry-level to Ascension.

As long as one had enough talent, learning it could lead from entry-level to Ascension.

Fang Zhou couldn’t tell which was superior between the two Divine Skills; the creator of the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill was the Blood Burning Sky Demon of thousands of years, a name that sounded impressive.

But the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique wasn’t lacking either; the Sect Leader Seal of the Kunlun Ruins Hidden Sect was the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Of course, it was possible both were boasting; after all, anyone would exaggerate their techniques to avoid seeming lowly.

In terms of boasting, neither could match Ling Xiaoyue; she claimed her technique was the Divine Skill granted by the heavens, even dragging the heavens out as the creator–how could you not be amazed?

The Cultivation World had very few techniques that could lead from entry-level to Ascension, even the Heavenly Sword Treasure Book of the Heavenly Sword Sect was said to only reach the Divine Soul Realm.

Excluding Ling Xiaoyue’s technique, Fang Zhou suddenly possessed two all-inclusive Divine Skills, which, if spread, would have him robbed constantly.

He had already learned Ling Xiaoyue’s technique and had studied the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique; he really lacked the energy to learn the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill.

However, many spells within could be studied, such as how to create Blood God Soldiers, how to refine Heavenly Demon Envoys, and so on.

Fang Zhou was dumbfounded upon seeing it: Heavenly Demon Envoy?

From the description of the Divine Skill, the Heavenly Demon Envoy was formless and intangible, could assist in offense and defense and could deploy abilities–it was clearly a substitute.

It turned out that the Secret Technique of Substitute Messenger of the True Mother God Sect was actually a spell separated from the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill.

And the Blood God Mask, which could produce Blood God Soldiers in large quantities, was also a spell separated from the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill to form the Blood God Soldier Technique.

In other words, once the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill is mastered, Blood God Soldiers can be created without the Blood God Mask.

Both the Heavenly Demon Envoy and the Blood God Soldiers left Fang Zhou very eager; he might not learn the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Divine Skill, but these two spells were indispensable.

The former could let Fang Zhou acquire the substitute he had long coveted, and the latter could allow him to completely control Ya Zi’s slave and the other two, without having to confine them in the gourd space, wasting air.
