Chapter 761: Chapter 347: Cultivation Technique Acquired, Demon Ancestor Exposed
Shi Nandang was right; without the Great Sun True Fire, without the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation," Zheng Fa dared not cultivate the "Red Cloud Jade Book."
Previously, when he obtained the cultivation technique of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, he hesitated until he got the Great Sun True Fire, only willing to use it as a reference.
Once these Basic Great Methods are cultivated, one is immediately beyond control.
Zhang received the Jade Tube, took a moment to look at it, nodded, and said:
"It’s indeed the complete version, with two more realms than before."
"Now it seems that the realms of Haori Mountain and the Supreme Dao’s technique seem very similar... Maybe the Yang God Technique is like this."
Zheng Fa also looked at this cultivation technique.
In the "Red Cloud Jade Book," after the Divinity Transformation and before the Dao Fruit, there are two more realms:
Yang God and Corpse Dissolution.
Identical to the names in the Supreme Dao; perhaps the Four Sects are all like this?
He saw Zhang immersed in the "Red Cloud Jade Book," and with a thought, sent a message to Xie Qingxue of the Tianhe Sect through the Creation Jade Disc.
...
In the Sect Leader’s Hall of the Tianhe Sect.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, increasingly brazen, stood at the door of the hall, looking at the herbs and plants of the Tianhe Sect outside, pondering something.
"Looking every day, I wonder what’s so interesting."
Sect Leader Yan asked.
"Hehe..." the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor didn’t answer him, just chuckled lightly and instead said, "Your chief disciple is here again."
Sect Leader Yan opened his eyes and sighed: "Has Zheng Fa not given up? Doesn’t he understand that he can’t obtain the true inheritance cultivation technique of Haori Mountain..."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor looked at him with a smile not entirely a smile: "Have you tried?"
Sect Leader Yan nodded: "Life and death are at stake, how can I not try? I thought, besides my Tianhe Sect, the Four Sects are widely spreading the Dao Fruit Technique... Maybe I really can seize a few volumes."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor glanced at him and sneered: "It’s not that simple."
"I’ve oversimplified it; I only thought that regardless of which sect’s true inheritance cultivation technique, it would be quite beneficial for us. I’ve been out several times recently, just to see if there was an opportunity."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor shook his head and said: "The Four Sects’ Dao Fruits, none of them are fools. Those who obtain the complete inheritance are all cultivators of their Basic Great Methods."
Sect Leader Yan nodded at this: "They are not afraid the true inheritance cultivation technique will leak..."
This is a deadlock.
The ones who obtain cultivation technique inheritance, even if initially harbor different intentions, once they cultivate the corresponding techniques, they are bound to rise or fall with the Dao Fruit cultivators behind the cultivation methods.
They might even be controlled by a Dao Fruit cultivator.
They can’t turn back.
As his thoughts wandered, he suddenly felt something odd and couldn’t help but look at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
"Why does Demon Ancestor know so much about this?"
"..."
"Have you tried too?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor’s face turned dark.
Sect Leader Yan’s thoughts spun swiftly, suddenly realizing.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor before him is considered the most enigmatic and best at hiding his intentions in the Xuanwei Realm, with many hidden acolytes.
If anyone wants to seek the true inheritance cultivation techniques of the Four Sects, the Demon Ancestor has more ways than I do!
He must have tried to seize them, even more so than me!
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor said resentfully, "The acolytes I’ve left in the Four Sects, after cultivating their true inheritance cultivation techniques, were either discovered and killed or developed treasonous intentions. Although I took some precautions, they must have guessed my identity."
Xie Qingxue’s figure appeared at the end of a distant path.
"Didn’t expect even the Demon Ancestor to suffer a loss, I’ll have my disciple advise Zheng Fa," Sect Leader Yan frowned and said, "lest he can’t obtain the techniques and also exposes himself."
Seeing the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor unmoved, he smiled and said: "What, you want to see my disciple too?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor chuckled, a little proud: "See? Even if I stood right in front of her, can she see me?"
Sect Leader Yan also chuckled at these words.
Though the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor speaks grandly, it must be said, his cultivation method of concealment is unmatched in the Xuanwei Realm.
This person wanders brazenly in the Tianhe Sect for who knows how long, yet no one has ever discovered it.
"Even the Dao Fruit cultivators of the Four Sects, although aware of my existence, who can find my trace?"
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor chuckled, standing behind Sect Leader Yan, watching Xie Qingxue walk into the hall.
Sure enough, Xie Qingxue’s gaze swept across the hall, completely missing him.
"Greetings, Master."
Sect Leader Yan nodded, looked at Xie Qingxue, and asked: "What do you seek?"
"Disciple seeks to have Master impart the true inheritance cultivation techniques of the Immortal Trap Lineage."
"..." Sect Leader Yan furrowed his brow, helplessly said, "Didn’t I say, unless..."
"...Senior Brother has acquired the ’Red Cloud Jade Book.’
Sect Leader Yan’s eyes widened.
"The Red Cloud Jade Book?"
"Yes, the true inheritance technique of Haori Mountain, the complete version, direct to Dao Fruit."
Xie Qingxue was concise and to the point.
Sect Leader Yan’s expression stiffened, wanting to turn around but held back, unwilling to expose the presence of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
But he held it in.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor didn’t hold it in.
An aura different from that of the Tianhe Sect’s techniques flickered in the hall.
Though it lasted but a moment, Xie Qingxue’s strength was exceptional, naturally sensing it.
"Who’s there!"
She shouted sharply, holding the Qingping Sword, pointing directly behind Sect Leader Yan.
Sect Leader Yan turned slowly, looking at the helplessly revealed Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
"..."
Didn’t you say your method of concealment was unmatched under the heavens, and even Dao Fruits couldn’t discover you?
Exposed this easily?
"Demon Ancestor?"
Xie Qingxue, having cooperated with the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor before, was very familiar with his aura and immediately recognized the Demon Ancestor’s identity.
She glanced at Sect Leader Yan, her mind in a haze.
The Five Sects have always been at odds with the Demon Ancestor.
The Six Sect Alliance even had a prior agreement: the Six Sects would unite against the Demon Ancestor, and violators would face joint opposition from the world.
Seeing the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor in the Sect Leader’s Hall of the Tianhe Sect was truly unexpected for Xie Qingxue.
Moreover, she knew a secret unknown to others:
During the initial Six Sect Alliance, her Master wanted to probe Zheng Fa’s reality and was injured by him, a task indeed carried out by the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
It was a ruthless move.
Her Master and the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor were not just non-allies, but had past grievances.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was even more shocked than her:
"Are you saying Zheng Fa obtained the complete ’Red Cloud Jade Book’?"
Xie Qingxue nodded, then watched as a Five Sect Leader and a legendary Demon Ancestor faced each other, silent, with peculiarly odd expressions.
It seemed that... self-esteem had taken a hit?
