Spirit Devouring Poison
The Nine Beast Forbidden Canon Cultivation Technique, while a Skill- Cultivation Technique with nine powerful Skill, is also a Cultivation Technique. As the level of this Cultivation Technique increases, one's personal cultivation will also rise accordingly.
Just as Mo Lingna's cultivation entered the Void Returning Stage after she comprehended the Fifth Layer the Eagle Demon Claw technique, the Skill Jade Talisman allowed her to advance further. After comprehending the Snake Demon Venom technique, her cultivation level once again rose to the Tenth Layer of the Dao Seeking Realm.
"What was that just now? It actually boosted my cultivation by almost two minor realms..." In the Great Hall, others might only feel that Mo Lingna's aura had become stronger, but the Myriad Poison Ancestor looked at Zhuge Xiang in shock.
Forcibly raising one's cultivation level from the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Tenth Layer of the Dao Seeking Realm —an advancement of nearly two minor realms—could such a treasure have originated from the Immortal and Demonic Realms?
Zhuge Xiang paid no attention to the shock of the Myriad Poison Ancestor, focusing his gaze solely on him, and asked, "Fourth Elder Myriad Poison Ancestor, where is my friend?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, the disciples of Myriad Poison Mountain in the Great Hall all changed their expressions drastically. From Zhuge Xiang's words, they realized that he had actually won in the Formation of the Five Poisons World.
However, even the Sect Master, Luo Ba, would find it difficult to escape from the grand formation of the Five Poisons World. Yet Zhuge Xiang actually emerged? Could it be that his strength is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of the Sect Master? How is this possible?
"Someone, bring that Niu Geng out here," the Myriad Poison Ancestor said to his disciples without any intention of playing tricks, upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words.
Although he was defeated by Zhuge Xiang, this was something the Myriad Poison Ancestor had never expected. However, given Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level, his despair-inducing physical strength, and those three Half-Immortal Artifacts and Half-Demon Artifact, not to mention that these Half-Immortal Artifacts and Half-Demon Artifact happened to be able to counter him, his defeat was understandable.
The mighty Weak Water River is undeniable in the Cultivation World, yet the Sea Calming Divine Needle Weak Water River counters its power. The Five Poisons World, with its incredibly powerful Five-Clawed Poison Dragon, is also restrained by the Demon Mirror. Given this, with both of his most powerful killing moves countered, what's so hard about his defeat?
"Yes, Master!" Zhuge Xiang's words surprised the disciples of Myriad Poison Mountain. However, they were still half-believing and half-doubting. But Myriad Poison Ancestor himself had said so, the disciples of Myriad Poison Mountain also knew that Zhuge Xiang had just won in the Five Poisons World. They dared not say anything more and nodded respectfully. Then, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator left, obviously taking Niu Geng with him.
"Zhuge Xiang, it seems that the position of the next Sect Master of my Asura Sect is rightfully yours..." Before Niu Geng was brought in, the Myriad Poison Ancestor looked at Zhuge Xiang and said, unable to hide a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Although Ice Maiden is a genius that the Asura Sect has only seen once every few hundred years, she is nothing compared to Zhuge Xiang. The strength that Zhuge Xiang just displayed is enough to make him the Sect Master Sect Master of a Large Sect.
Moreover, after fighting for so long, Zhuge Xiang had not yet used his world-renowned Heavenly Demon Zen Sound or the Demon Luo Scripture of the Asura Sect. At such a young age, he already possessed such strength. In fact, the Myriad Poison Ancestor was quite pleased that the next Sect Master of the Asura Sect had such a person.
Although internal struggles and even mutual killings exist within a demonic Sect, those at the level of the Myriad Poison Ancestor and Zhuge Xiang have a broader perspective and have developed a habit of viewing issues from the Sect's point of view.
The Fourth Elder of the Asura Sect, the Myriad Poison Ancestor, can be considered one of the Asura Sect's giants. Although the Myriad Poison Ancestor and Zhuge Xiang had some unpleasantness because of Niu Geng, from the Sect's perspective, the Myriad Poison Ancestor was still pleased with Zhuge Xiang's talent and strength.
"The Fourth Elder's strength also exceeded my expectations," Zhuge Xiang replied generously in return for the praise from the Myriad Poison Ancestor.
This statement is actually the truth. In the Five Poisons World, if it weren't for his own Sea Calming Divine Needle and Demon -Demon Mirror, which happened to be able to counter the opponent, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. Within the Five Poisons Grand Formation, the Fourth Elder's strength is comparable to that of his Master.
But such formidable strength, and he's only the Fourth Elder of the Asura Sect? What about the Third Elder, Second Elder, and even the Great Elder, who are ranked higher? Just how strong must they be?
The Asura Sect's power was indeed the weakest among the Nine Great Sects. However, when it came to high-end combat strength, Zhuge Xiang realized that the strength of the Asura Sect's leaders was actually stronger than he had imagined. This was a good thing.
However, being a demonic Sect, they were bound by the principles of swift retribution. Although from the Sect's perspective, Zhuge Xiang and the Myriad Poison Ancestor admired each other, they also had personal grudges against each other. Therefore, it was impossible for them to sit down and make peace over drinks.
Soon, Niu Geng arrived at the Great Hall, led by the disciples of Myriad Poison Mountain. Niu Geng's clothes were tattered, and his body was covered with bloodstains and bruises. Clearly, Niu Geng had been abused in Myriad Poison Mountain.
Seeing Niu Geng's expression, Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly, but said nothing.
"Niu Geng, are you alright?" Zi Xiang, seeing Niu Geng's bruises and even bloodstains, rushed over with a worried expression and helped Niu Geng up.
"It's alright," Niu Geng, helping Zi Xiang up. Although his face was pale and his expression was somewhat sullen, he shook his head, then turned to Zhuge Xiang with a smile and said, "You're back."
"Good, I'm back," Zhuge Xiang replied with a smile and a nod.
Niu Geng's cultivation level was only at the Divine Ability Stage, not even reaching the Spell Control Stage. Compared to Zhuge Xiang, the gap between them was widening. However, Zhuge Xiang still cherished this friend he had known since childhood. Even though their worlds were getting further and further apart, this friendship remained in his heart and would not change with time or even with changes in status and position.
"Alright, let's go back." Although Niu Geng had been mistreated in Myriad Poison Mountain, it was good enough that he could be brought back. Zhuge Xiang didn't intend to get entangled with the Myriad Poison Ancestor on this issue.
Besides, in the end, the eldest disciple of the Myriad Poison Ancestor still died at the hands of Niu Geng. After all the twists and turns, Niu Geng only suffered some beatings and that was the end of it, which is already a very good result.
"Wait, Elder Zhuge, you must be very careful with the Spirit Devouring Poison, Niu Geng's Spirit Devouring Poison..." However, just as Zhuge Xiang was leading Niu Geng and the others away from Myriad Poison Mountain, the Myriad Poison Ancestor spoke up, reminding Zhuge Xiang. (To be continued...)
