Chapter 321 -0316: Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record
The Guardian Tower Master withdrew the Array’s prohibition and took out an ancient tome from a dark gray box.
Subsequently, Chen Yu started to copy the content of the first three levels of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” here.
"Deputy Head, is your disciple going to practice this Cultivation Technique?”
The Guardian Tower Master probed with an extra question.
In the past hundred years, almost no one redeemed this technique, and those who had managed to cultivate it successfully in the past thousand years numbered only one or two.
Although this technique was powerful, if it couldn’t be mastered, it was entirely useless — a waste of five hundred thousand No Demon Points for nothing.
"Um, let him try. If he succeeds, at the next grand competition, our No Demon Academy has a chance to strive for first place.”
The Guardian Tower Master took a deep breath, not expecting the Deputy Head to have such high hopes for Chen Yu.
Indeed, if Chen Yu really achieved something on the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record,” the academy would have a great chance of winning first place in the next grand competition.
Thinking of the academy’s competition, the Guardian Tower Master felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
In recent years, the No Demon Academy’s competition results had been less than ideal, finishing third or fourth. It had been nearly ten years since they secured the first-place position.
Yuan Chen was indeed strong, but only within the No Demon Academy.
After all, Yuan Chen didn’t come from a super family, nor did he have powerful bloodlines. He reached where he was purely through his will and talent.
Soon, Chen Yu finished copying the first three levels of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
"If you spread this technique without authorization, you will spend a lifetime repenting in the No Demon Academy’s ‘Demon Prison’!”
Yi Lantian warned Chen Yu.
Within the No Demon Academy, only those who committed unforgivable sins were imprisoned in the Demon Prison, and once inside, there was almost no chance of release.
"The disciple understands.”
Chen Yu solemnly said.
The “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” was one of the Ancient ten great bizarre techniques, also touted as the number one defensive Cultivation Technique in the Kunyun Continent. If he leaked this technique, not even the Deputy Head could save his life.
"If you want to redeem the fourth to sixth levels, wait until you have practiced to the third level and possess one million No Demon Points.”
Yi Lantian said again.
Chen Yu knew that the one million No Demon Points was definitely a discounted price.
After exchanging the Technique, Chen Yu bid farewell to his Master and returned to his courtyard.
Chen Yu first skimmed through the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
As one of the Ancient ten great bizarre techniques, it naturally wasn’t ordinary and couldn’t be compared with common techniques.
Each level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” could cultivate a special type of demonic inscription, containing a whiff of the mysterious power of the Heavenly Demon Dao. It’s not only capable of refining the Demon Body, but each demonic inscription could also produce incredible Divine Skills.
The first three levels of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” corresponded to the Qi Transformation Realm, whereas the fourth through sixth levels corresponded to the Guiyuan Realm, and the seventh to ninth levels corresponded to the Sky Sea Realm.
That is to say, if Chen Yu could successfully cultivate this technique, he would have a sliver of hope to reach the legendary highest realm in the Kunyun Continent.
This demonstrated just how potent this technique was.
Chen Yu could only feel his blood boiling, filled with a yearning desire.
Upon careful review, this technique melded Body Cultivation and the Demon Dao, and the method of practice was also extremely special, requiring the fusion of demon power with the power of Body Cultivation, forming a special and powerful “Demonic Inscription Qi.”
For the physical cultivation aspect, he needed to treat his body as if it were a sculpture or a vessel, inscribing it with demonic patterns.
The first level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” corresponded to the Postnatal Qi Transformation. If he were to master it, he would possess one demonic inscription, making his physique’s defense almost entirely immune to all attacks at the Postnatal Stage.
The second and third levels corresponded to the Qi Transformation Innate, and once fully mastered, he would have three demonic inscriptions, rendering his physique’s defense impervious to all attacks below the Guiyuan Realm.
Of course, apart from its formidable defense, this technique’s attack capabilities were also top-notch.
"Five hundred thousand No Demon Points, that’s too valuable!”
The might of this technique was beyond description.
And he speculated that the mysterious heart had an amplifying effect on this technique.
Immediately, Chen Yu started cultivating the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
Unlike other Cultivation Techniques, this one required practicing both True Qi and bodhi on two levels.
Firstly, Chen Yu needed to transform his Cloud Evil True Qi into the “Demonic Inscription Qi” of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record,” and secondly, his True Copper Statue needed transforming into a “Secret Pattern Demon Body.”
Chen Yu’s Cloud Evil True Qi and True Copper Statue had both reached the Late Innate level.
This meant that to achieve complete transformation, he needed to at least master the second level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
Time was precious, and Chen Yu immediately went into closed-door training.
Training the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” was quite painful.
The “Demonic Inscription Qi” of this technique was incredibly strong, necessitating an extremely dense Demonic Qi; if one was not vigilant, it could impact one’s spiritual consciousness and cause deviation.
Fortunately, Chen Yu had the Moon Spirit Ore Mother, an ancient miraculous stone, so he didn’t have to worry too much.
The “Copper Statue Technique” contained some Buddhist path meanings, and since Buddha and demons were inherently opposed, the transformation of the physique was not only incredibly difficult but also exceedingly painful.
Chen Yu felt as if his copper muscles, bones, and skin were being nibbled on by countless ants, slowly undergoing a transformation.
On the first day, Chen Yu transformed a thread of “Demonic Inscription Qi.”
In the Qi Sea within him, among the pitch-black Cloud Evil True Qi, a strand of black Demonic Inscription Qi appeared, resembling a small black snake, swimming through a lake.
And on his bright Copper Statue, a small part turned into a black color, its patterns undergoing change.
The first level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” corresponded to the Postnatal Qi Transformation; for a cultivator whose cultivation was high to practice a lower-level technique, it would usually not be too difficult.
Thus, Chen Yu quickly passed the beginner’s threshold.
Humming sounds echoed!
Inside the closed training chamber, above Chen Yu, Evil Qi soared to the sky, forming a large black python circling around him.
However, at the tail of the black python was a complex and ferocious black demonic inscription.
Now, Chen Yu had achieved minor mastery of the first level.
After one more month, Chen Yu mastered the first level.
Chen Yu activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body, and at that instant, a faint black radiance emerged on his body. On his right arm, a sinister black demonic inscription materialized, resembling a demonic claw.
"Is this the first demonic inscription?”
Chen Yu gazed at the inscription on his arm, filled with anticipation.
Activating the Secret Pattern Demon Body, the blackness on Chen Yu’s arm suddenly flickered with bright light, as if coming to life, transforming into a fierce demon claw.
Without using the power boost from the “Copper Statue Technique,” Chen Yu punched the ground.
A tyrannical strength burst forth, creating a fist-sized crater in the ground with fine cracks spreading outward.
It must be known that the material of the cultivation chamber was reinforced with arrays and was exceptionally hard, usually impervious to damage even by those in the Early Innate stage.
But at this moment, Chen Yu’s punch broke through it.
This punch, he had only utilized the strength amplification brought by the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
"It seems the physique boost given by the mysterious heart is still there.”
Chen Yu was secretly delighted.
The first level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” corresponded to the Postnatal Qi Transformation, but the sheer strength of Chen Yu’s punch was comparable to someone in the Early Innate stage.
Furthermore, this technique was even more outstanding in defense.
Chen Yu estimated that, once he had cultivated the first level, the mere Secret Pattern Demon Body could probably withstand an attack from an ordinary Mid Innate Level cultivator.
Immediately after, Chen Yu began to delve into the second level of the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
The difficulty of each level seemed to multiply exponentially.
For the second level, Chen Yu spent a month’s time but barely managed to grasp the basics.
"This won’t do, the progress is too slow.”
Chen Yu’s expression turned slightly grim.
Inside the chamber, Red Flame King radiated Innate-Level Fire Dao True Qi.
Clearly, he had digested a portion of the Blood Dragon Beast Demon Core’s power and his cultivation had broken through to Innate.
One day, Chen Yu left his dwelling and sought out his master, Yi Lantian.
Yi Lantian, being a Demon Cultivator as well as possessing profound cultivation, should be able to give Chen Yu some good advice.
"You’ve already cultivated the first level?”
Yi Lantian was a bit surprised.
Although the first level corresponded to the Postnatal Qi Transformation, it was not so easy to achieve.
Of course, the further one progressed in this technique, the harder it became to cultivate.
The first level took three months; the second level might require a year or even longer.
"You could take some Demon Dao Elixirs to promote the cultivation of True Qi and the refining of your physique. Moreover, you can train in the academy’s Demonic Qi Pool, which has excellent refining effects on both True Qi and physique.”
Master Yi Lantian offered some advice.
"Thank you for your advice, master.”
Chen Yu did not linger and immediately left.
He quickly went to the Wumo Sub-Hall to purchase some Elixirs and Body Refining liquids.
Afterward, he headed to the academy’s training ground, the Demonic Qi Pool.
The Demonic Qi Pool was a special cultivation location like the Evil Wind Valley, specially designed for Demon Cultivators.
After paying with No Demon Points, Chen Yu entered the Demonic Qi Pool.
The entire vast pool was filled with pitch-black dense liquid, its surface constantly roiling like boiling water.
Above the Demonic Qi Pool, a layer of dark fog blanketed the area, filled with an intense demonic aura.
"It’s Chen Yu, the deputy headmaster’s new disciple!”
Many people looked at Chen Yu with envy, jealousy, and amazement.
After Chen Yu’s reputation spread, his details also became known to the students.
"Isn’t Chen Yu an Evil Cultivator? What is he doing in the Demonic Qi Pool?”
This was the doubt in many students’ minds.
Chen Yu stepped into the Demonic Qi Pool.
Instantly, Chen Yu felt endless pressure squeezing every part of his body, being eroded by the force of the Demon Dao.
"No wonder most people only cultivate around the edges.”
Chen Yu thought to himself inwardly.
To venture deep into the center, not only was cultivation level required but also a powerful physique.
After a short while, Chen Yu got accustomed to the edge and took a few steps forward, beginning to cultivate the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record.”
A vast Evil Qi radiated from within Chen Yu’s body, intertwining with a hint of the Demonic Qi.
Chen Yu’s physique also continuously accepted the refining baptism from the Demonic Qi Pool.
The nearby students immediately sensed the strong Demonic Qi emanating from Chen Yu.
"Cultivating both Evil and Demon Paths at the same time is rather foolish, isn’t it? Moreover, both paths demand a high level of mental fortitude; I think there’s a high chance he might suffer demonic deviation,” a student from the Wind Demon Academy commented with a laugh.
During his cultivation, Chen Yu felt the external pressure lessen gradually, so he took a few more steps forward.
At this moment, the Demon Cultivators around him were almost all at the Mid Innate Level.
"Huh? He managed to get here so quickly?”
A student at the Mid Innate Level showed a look of amazement.
Generally, those in the Early Innate stage could only cultivate at the edge of the Demonic Qi Pool, and those who had just started cultivating the Demon Dao would be doing well just to enter the pool.
Near the center of the pool, a cold-looking young man opened his eyes.
This person was Ren Han.
With the academy’s competition approaching, he was also seizing the last moments to bolster his strength.
Ren Han frowned slightly.
If it weren’t for Chen Yu being taken in as a disciple by the deputy headmaster, he was sure Chen Yu would already be dead now.
He was also surprised to see that Chen Yu had started cultivating the Demon Dao.
