Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 175 - 170: Turning Demons into Martial Arts! Fame Spreads Far and Wide! (4k)
Humans cultivate the Aperture, while Demon Cultivators refine the Tao Species.
The two methods are vastly different, and completely distinct from one another.
Only those peerless and transcendent Heavenly Talents with exceptional talent and wisdom could understand both.
Yet, at this moment, Hong Yuan sat on the Taoist Mat in the cultivation room, pondering over the newly completed "Flood Gathering War Banner" Tao Species refinement technique in his hand, a joyful smile on his face.
Such dominance with a 70-point aptitude?!
I remember being utterly clueless when looking at the Demon Clan’s Demon Skills and scriptures.
A long time ago, Hong Yuan had the idea of dual cultivating the Human Race’s Cultivation Techniques and the Demon Clan’s Demon Skills.
But due to limitations in his aptitude, and differences between the two cultivation systems, he never reached a breakthrough point.
Now, with his aptitude reaching 70 points, he instantly felt as if the fog covering his vision had lifted, and that hazy feeling had completely disappeared.
He had an idea of how to convert the Demon Cultivator’s Flood Gathering War Banner Tao Species into one for human cultivation!
The Flood Gathering War Banner Tao Species needs to be refined step by step, just like Worm Refining.
Hong Yuan mused, As I grow, the White Bull Bow no longer even serves to refine my strength. It might be better to use the Flood Gathering War Banner Tao Species as a basis to refine a large bow Tao Species usable by humans.
[Flood Gathering War Banner: A fifth-order water system Tao Species. The Refiner can command the power of water, control rivers and lakes, and gather devastating torrents. It can also sway in the great wind, encouraging the morale of one’s own side...]
[The method for combining the Flood Gathering War Banner involves: in the fiery sea lava, refining the Battle Gathering Flag and the Water Control Order together, adding Nine Tao water-system Demon Beast soul essences...]
Looking at the required materials, Hong Yuan felt a bit of a headache.
Even if he modified it for use by his Original Body, most of the materials would still be the same as those for the Flood Gathering War Banner Tao Species.
Both the Battle Gathering Flag and the Water Control Order are fourth-order Tao Species.
The refining of the Water Control Order was manageable—he could just spend more Energy Stones.
Nine Nether had given him a huge sum of twenty-five million Energy Stones, and after deducting various cultivation resources expenses, Hong Yuan still had nineteen million Energy Stones left. The creation of the Water Control Order wouldn’t be a problem.
However, refining the Battle Gathering Flag would require it to be imbued with the aura of battle over a long period to gain the effect of inspiring and boosting morale.
Consequently, Hong Yuan looked towards his resting Power Tao Incarnation.
There’s no way I’m going to leave the Sect and do the dirty and tiring work.
Isn’t the purpose of the Incarnation Technique to deal with these kinds of things?
Hehe...
From then on, Hong Yuan fully immersed himself in secluded cultivation, transforming his gains into strength.
「At the same time.」
The Heart-questioning Trial had also come to an end.
Dragon Star Main Island, Dragon Star Building, Gathering Star Pavilion.
Accompanied by a strange fluctuation, thirteen juniors of the Demon Saints were forcibly expelled from the Heart-questioning Trial.
Inside the Gathering Star Pavilion, these thirteen juniors gathered together, exchanging puzzled glances.
They all looked up afterwards, gazing outwards.
Because the top five of this trial were about to be announced, everyone was anxious to know who would enter the Dragon God Sacred Land.
"Xuan Guangqiao’s killing intent is too great; aside from him, I can’t be sure who could make it into the top five."
"Water Striking Hundred Layer Waves, its might engulfs thousands of miles; not even a great Demon champion would be much more than that."
"After what Xuan Guangqiao did, all of the thirteen remaining juniors of the Demon Saints are of the Hundred-fold Soul caliber, with not a single one reaching the Thousand-fold Soul level. Talk about a monopoly of Creation’s favor!"
As onlookers, numerous Demons clicked their tongues in amazement as they marveled at how Hong Yuan alone had changed the prevailing situation with his own power.
This Heart-questioning Trial had not only produced a Ten Thousand Dragon Soul but also a Hundred Thousand Dragon Soul.
That truly touched the realm of the Demon Saints, which meant, barring any major upheavals, Hong Yuan, as the Ice Armor Python, would certainly achieve Demon Saint status.
What was even more surprising to the Demons was that, besides Hong Yuan, none of the other juniors were able to reach the Thousand Soul Realm!
"Where did that Xuan Guangqiao guy go?"
Li Jianqiu clasped her oil-paper umbrella tightly, her phoenix eyes searching all around.
Not just her, but Zhang Daoliu, He Miaowa, Ji Qingxue, and Zhang Fan were also searching for any sign of Hong Yuan.
A mere third-order Demon somehow turned the trial upside down, even causing Li Jianqiu, ranked fifty-seventh on the Sky List, to be covered in dust and defeat. It was truly unbelievable.
Hong Yuan... At this moment, Ice Armor Python Hong Yuan was fast asleep atop a large Sea Clan, digesting the essence of the Hundred Thousand Dragon Soul.
SNORE... He snored peacefully.
And right now, he had just rolled over, finding a new position to continue his deep slumber.
"Qi, I’m going to announce the rankings now," said Messenger Wan Xuerou as she put down her grayish-white teacup and stood up from the intricately carved wooden stool, drifting towards the outside.
The information provided by Messenger Wan Xuerou during this Heart-questioning Trial had been of great help to Hong Yuan.
If it weren’t for her intelligence, Hong Yuan would have needed much more time to achieve the Cold Moon Dragon soul.
Black Dragon Demon Saint nodded lightly, his gaze also turning outward.
Guangqiao has now reached an initial fourth-order level. Maybe he can catch up with the next ’Ten Thousand Domains Battle’?
Black Dragon Demon Saint picked up the grayish-white teacup and took a light sip. Regardless of the ’Ten Thousand Domains Battle,’ it’s time to teach him about the ’Tao Species’ methods...
As Black Dragon Demon Saint pondered, Messenger Wan Xuerou floated in front of Dragon Star Building, activating her Demon Essence to unfold the scroll in her hand, ready to announce the top five names.
The top five in this Heart-questioning Trial would determine who entered the Dragon God Sacred Land and which of the Demon clans would side with which junior Demon Saint over the next thirty-odd years, following them in the Ten Thousand Domains Battle.
This was a harbinger of the division of benefits!
Under the eager anticipation of all, Messenger Wan Xuerou opened her lips slightly and said, "The fifth position in this Heart-questioning Realm Trial goes to the Snow Shadow Rabbit, Ji Qingxue."
