Chapter 164: Great Harvest, Bonus Reward: Initial Fist Intent!
Thinking carefully, this trip to the Demon Abyss was truly fortunate.
Otherwise, reaching the peak of the Divine Attainment Realm before the talent battle would have been extremely difficult.
Now, there was even a significant chance to go a step further and enter the Life and Death Realm!
Regarding the Life and Death Realm, Meng Changqing didn’t know much. He only knew it was a powerful realm that could extend one’s lifespan.
Humans were not an immortal race.
In fact, most people, including those in the Divine Attainment Realm, don’t live long, only up to three hundred years.
Only by entering the Life and Death Realm and understanding the Dao of life and death could one’s lifespan greatly increase, varying from person to person.
According to ancient books, when humanity lost its innate name, the potential for immortality was also erased.
Soon, the cloud boat returned to the sect, and Meng Changqing went to the sect master’s hall. With reaching the peak of the Divine Attainment Realm being a certainty, he needed to learn about the Life and Death Realm.
With the experience of predecessors, breaking through would be much easier for him.
It was still the seemingly endless sea of flowers.
Xi Yingqing sat cross-legged on a giant flower bud.
“Sixth level of the Divine Attainment Realm. It seems you had quite the harvest,” Xi Yingqing raised an eyebrow.
Even he couldn’t help but be astonished.
Such a terrifying cultivation speed was truly unheard of.
In just over a month, he had gone from the first to the sixth level of the Divine Attainment Realm!
“Did you refine demonic energy?” Xi Yingqing asked.
To him, this was the only way to progress so quickly.
“Yes,” Meng Changqing began fabricating a story, “In the Demon Abyss, I discovered the long-lost ancient demonic art and mastered it to perfection.”
Hearing this, Xi Yingqing stood up suddenly, looking at Meng Changqing with shock.
It took him a moment to regain his composure.
“No wonder. You’re a person of great fortune to encounter such a rare art,” Xi Yingqing sighed, not doubting him.
In his view, someone blessed by fortune couldn’t be judged by common sense.
“I didn’t expect the legendary true demonic skill to be hidden in the Demon Abyss,” Xi Yingqing paced back and forth, “It’s said that in any era, only one person can master this skill. Even if others find it, they can’t cultivate it.”
“Why is that?” Meng Changqing was surprised.
He knew the skill was extremely difficult to master, but didn’t think only one person per era could succeed. Updates are released by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
“To cultivate this demonic skill, one needs a demon-suppressing artifact, which is incredibly rare. In any era, only one such artifact exists, a restriction imposed by the heavenly Dao. Otherwise, the demon race would have been wiped out long ago,” Xi Yingqing smiled at Meng Changqing, “I didn’t expect you not only found the demonic art but also the demon-suppressing artifact. Truly, your fortune is extraordinary!”
“I see,” Meng Changqing understood.
This was new information to him.
“Did you refine that level six demon?” Xi Yingqing asked.
“Yes,” Meng Changqing nodded.
“Good, the energy of a level six demon is enough to reach the peak of the Divine Attainment Realm,” Xi Yingqing said.
“This ring contains demonic energy I’ve collected, about thirty to forty thousand strands, mostly of level one and two. It will be very useful for our sect disciples.” Meng Changqing handed over a storage ring.
His plan was to use this to gain favor with the sect master.
Originally, the true demonic skill was also part of the plan, but given the sect master’s words, it was unnecessary to bring it out since no one else could cultivate it in this era.
“Thoughtful,” Xi Yingqing’s eyes showed appreciation.
At least from this, it was clear that Meng Changqing cared about the sect.
Even if he himself fell, the sect could thrive under Meng Changqing.
[Favorability increased to two stars!]
[Attribute selectable!]
[Triggered bonus reward: Initial Fist Intent!]
Hearing the system’s voice in his mind, Meng Changqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath. He had triggered a bonus reward, and it was Initial Fist Intent!
Although he primarily focused on swordsmanship, martial intent was always valuable.
This meant that in the future, he could try learning powerful fist techniques, like the “Divine Fist of Truth” the sect master had recently passed on to him, which complemented the “Undying Truth Heavenly King Art.”
More skills wouldn’t hurt.
“Not bad,” joy flashed in Meng Changqing’s eyes.
This was indeed a great harvest. Demonic energy he couldn’t use himself had increased favorability and earned him Initial Fist Intent!
“You probably came here to ask about the Life and Death Realm?” Xi Yingqing said.
“Yes, reaching the peak of the Divine Attainment Realm is no longer difficult, so I want to try entering the Life and Death Realm before the Southern Genius Battle. This would give me a better chance to enter the top twenty,” Meng Changqing said.
“It seems second senior brother has already told you about the talent battle,” Xi Yingqing said. “In the Divine Attainment Realm alone, it’s hard to stand out. The top prefectures have geniuses of monstrous talent. Only by entering the Life and Death Realm can you compete with them,” Xi Yingqing stood with his hands behind his back, his tone carrying a hint of nostalgia.
“I thought it would be hard for you to break through to the Life and Death Realm before the battle, but it seems I underestimated your cultivation speed,” Xi Yingqing smiled slightly, “Next, I will explain and demonstrate the power of the Life and Death Realm.”
Hearing this, Meng Changqing immediately focused intently, not daring to be distracted.
The Life and Death Realm required great comprehension, so the experience and insights of predecessors were invaluable.
