Demon Luo Scripture Third Layer

Not only can she graft limbs at will, but she can even graft souls, knowledge, Memory, and even abilities. This has always been Die Wu's proudest ability. However, hearing Zhuge Xiang's words today has dealt a heavy blow to Die Wu. Xiao Dou, she did everything she could for his good, but in the end, she was the one who erased him?

"I killed him... He's not Xiao Dou anymore... I killed him..." Die Wu murmured, her eyes glazed over, as if she had lost her mind.

Clearly, this was a huge blow to her. She had done everything for her child, only to have it almost come to naught because of her own actions. What could be more painful than that?

Seeing Die Wu's pained expression, Zhuge Xiang said, "You don't need to be so sad. If too much ink is put into a bowl of water, it will spoil, but as long as you have the ability to extract the ink, the bowl of water will turn back into clean water."

"Turn back?" Die Wu's eyes were filled with pain as she shook her head. "Spilled water can't be gathered up again. And ink that's completely dissolved in clear water is as difficult as climbing to heaven to extract."

"Difficult doesn't mean impossible, right? It's as difficult as ascending to heaven. Indeed, ascending to heaven is very difficult, but countless Cultivators, as numerous as carp crossing a river, and as vast as the Starry Sky, all strive to break through the Void and Immortal Ascension. Since ascending to heaven is possible, why can't we extract the ink from the water?"

Zhuge Xiang wasn't trying to comfort her. Although the incident was quite a shock to Die Wu, she was, after all, Void Realm Great Expert and a retainer in the Great Tang Dynasty's Hall of Honored Guests. Zhuge Xiang simply couldn't believe she couldn't overcome such a setback. Zhuge Xiang's words were merely an expression of his own opinion.

"Indeed, it's incredibly difficult. But since countless Cultivator flock here, and there have been numerous examples throughout history of people successfully ascending to immortality, then even if it's as difficult as ascending to heaven, it's not impossible."

Hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Die Wu's eyes slowly hardened, and she murmured, "No matter how difficult, can it be harder than ascension? Since billions of people are striving for ascension, why should I give up? How can I escape the mistakes I've made?"

"Furthermore, while this Soul Grafting Technique is dangerous, it's not entirely unusable. Occasionally, grafting a few useful pieces of knowledge and abilities can be very helpful. Besides, a bowl of water or a bucket of water is easily stained black with ink, but what about a pool of water or a river? Therefore, for people with strong soul power, this Soul Grafting Technique is a very magical and practical ability."

"Indeed, if a person's soul is strong enough, it can almost be immune to the erosion of these soul imprints, then the Soul Grafting Technique is indeed a perfect ability."

Originally, Die Wu was starting to doubt whether her Soul Grafting Technique was really as powerful as she thought. But now, Zhuge Xiang's words restored her confidence. Although the Soul Grafting Technique had many drawbacks, if the target's own soul was strong enough, then the Soul Grafting Technique would be useful.

"Elder Sister Die Wu, the Heart-Clearing Fruit is here!" There was a knock on the door, and then Xiao Dou pushed the door open and entered, holding a tray with two milky white fruits on it, emitting a strange fragrance.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, please accept this Heart-Clearing Fruit. It is a plant that I grafted onto a branch of an Ancient Times Divine Wood. It can enlighten the mind and reveal one's true nature, and it will be of some help to resist the erosion of Heart Demon on the path of cultivation in the future," Die Wu said to Zhuge Xiang as she watched Xiao Dou return.

"Then thank you for your hospitality, fellow Daoist." Nodding, Zhuge Xiang accepted the two Heart-Clearing Fruits, giving one to Mo Lingna to consume, and keeping the other for Zhuge Xiang.

"Hmm, it tastes very good," Mo Lingna, not being the kind of woman who was just being polite. After taking the Heart-Clearing Fruit, she took a bite and immediately praised it.

The most important thing about the Heart-Clearing Fruit is its efficacy, but Mo Lingna only praised its taste, which was somewhat amusing. However, Die Wu smiled lightly and said that it was good that Mo Lingna liked it.

"Why don't you eat it, fellow Daoist?" Mo Lingna had already eaten the Heart-Clearing Fruit, but Zhuge Xiang simply put it away, which made Die Wu look at it with some surprise.

"This fruit is a good thing, but unfortunately it's of little use to me. So I'll keep it for someone else to use in the future. Inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, I've already passed the Altar of Sacrifice. On the path of cultivation, I'll hardly be troubled by Heart Demon anymore," Zhuge Xiang replied with a smile.

"You've passed the Altar of Sacrifice?" Zhuge Xiang's words once again surprised Die Wu, who stared at him in astonishment.

The Heaven-Piercing Tower was a relatively famous Secret Realm in the Great Tang Empire, mainly due to its Altar of Sacrifice. Those who couldn't cross it would be haunted on their path of cultivation, but those who could would reap immeasurable benefits. How many Cultivator dared not step onto the Altar of Sacrifice? Even if they had the courage, how Cultivator could succeed? Yet Zhuge Xiang actually succeeded.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed no ordinary person," Die Wu Dance exclaimed as she first used her True Essence Realm cultivation to convert the demon and then walked past the Altar of Sacrifice.

No wonder Zhuge Xiang was able to enter the Hall of Honored Guests. At the same time, I admire His Your Majesty's vision. If we don't win him over now, it's hard to say whether Zhuge Xiang will even look down on the Hall of Honored Guests of the Great Tang Dynasty when he grows up.

Die Wu has a new goal: to research how to extract all the knowledge grafted into Xiao Dou's soul without harming Xiao Dou. This is a difficult task, but she has found a new direction for her research.

Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna left Die Wu's Courtyard. With the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood, the Little Fire Phoenix naturally no longer wanted to stay in the pet space, but instead perched on the Wutong Tree. Mo Lingna also said that she would be going into seclusion to cultivate for a few days.

The Skill Jade Talisman from Zhuge Xiang, as well as the Heart-Clearing Fruit, have greatly benefited Mo Lingna. She needs some time to slowly digest the gains from the star-studded fruit and the Skill Jade Talisman.

Although she forcibly learned the Turtle Demon Armor, gaining a means of defense, and her other three moves also improved accordingly, she still needs some time to fully solidify this move.

The Hall of Honored Guests was able to obtain resources from the Great Tang Dynasty. Zhuge Xiang actually found two Fire Black Lotus, the formula for Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine, and the most important thing was that the Fire Black Lotus were rare.

After staying in the Hall of Honored Guests for three days, Zhuge Xiang refined two Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine. In addition, Zhuge Xiang also found the materials for the Attack Template he obtained from the last Cloth Doll mission and refined three of them using the Origin Returning Furnace.

Attack Template (Special Consumable): Can be attached to any offensive weapon, increasing attack power by 5000 for 300 seconds.

With some rare free time, Zhuge Xiang picked up his life Skill again, refining two Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine and three Attack Template.

Inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, the quality of equipment was generally improved. Zhuge Xiang took the opportunity to repair and maintain all his equipment over the past few days, resulting in a further improvement in his overall strength.

"Alright, it's about time. It's time to head to the King Fenghe's Mansion for the banquet." Calculating the days, it was indeed time for the King Fenghe's banquet. Zhuge Xiang put on all the equipment he had repaired and maintained, stood up, and prepared to leave the Hall of Honored Guests.

"Ding, conditions met. You can cultivate the Demon Luo Scripture Third Layer. Requires 1 Skill Point. Do you want to learn?"

However, when Zhuge Xiang put on all his equipment, a system notification sounded in Zhuge Xiang mind without warning, which startled him slightly.

Zhuge Xiang remembered that the requirement for cultivating the Demon Luo Scripture Third Layer was an attack power of 30,000. Now, with the improvement of his cultivation level and the general improvement in the quality of his equipment, had his attack power finally reached 30,000?

The Heavenly Demon Zen Sound exists within the Heavenly Dragon Temple of the Great Qin Empire. However, the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound cannot be considered one of the Three Great Divine Techniques of the Great Qin Empire, while the Demon Luo Scripture can. This demonstrates that Zhuge Xiang's strongest Cultivation Technique is not the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, but the Demon Luo Scripture.

Now that he could cultivate to the Third Layer, Zhuge Xiang was naturally happy. He used a Skill Point, and sure enough, the Demon Luo Scripture Zhuge Xiang been upgraded to the Third Layer.

The Demon Luo Scripture, divided into thirteen levels, Demon Luo Scripture as Zhuge Xiang successfully cultivated the Third Layer. A terrifying demonic shadow appeared behind Zhuge Xiang, with the Phantom Image of Thirteen Treasures swirling around it: a knife, a sword, a bow, shoes, a necklace...

The terrifying and ferocious demonic shadow, whose appearance was completely obscured, pounced and merged into Zhuge Xiang's body. Immediately afterwards, the phantom images of a sword, armor, and a pair of shoes merged into Zhuge Xiang's Dragon Judgment Sword, Thorn Armor, and War God Boots, respectively.

Demon Luo Sword: No level requirement, Attack +18800, Attack Speed +20%, Passive 1: Reduces the Attack Speed of surrounding enemy targets by 20%, Passive 2: Every strike carries the Mad Dragon Power, whether it's a normal attack or Skill, damage +20%, Passive 3: 15% defense penetration, Active 1: Mad Dragon's Wrath, can instantly convert all defense into an equal amount of attack power, a desperate strike, cooldown 100 seconds, Active 2: Can make the target's HP equal to the user's HP, cooldown 1 day, Durability 460460, Weight 18.

Demon Luo Armor: Defense +8800, Passive: Within a 10-meter radius, enemy defense is reduced by 30%, Active: Can reflect single-target attacks whose cultivation level is no more than three minor realms higher than the user's. Limited to one use per day, Durability 162162, Weight 20.

Demon Luo Boots: Defense +6800, Passive: Restores 200 HP and 100 MP for each target unit killed, Durability 160, Weight 8.

As the Demon Luo Scripture was cultivated to the Third Layer, the equipment with the added divine weapon Phantom Image received an unprecedented boost in attributes. The Demon Luo Sword not only retained all the passive and active effects of the Dragon's Judgment Sword, but its attack power also saw a terrifying increase of nearly 20,000.

With the amplification from these three treasures, Zhuge Xiang was now capable of contending with Cultivator at the Void Core Stage or even the Golden Core Stage. Truly worthy of being one of the Three Great Divine Techniques of the Great Qin Empire, the Demon Luo Scripture. (To be continued...)
