The eighth layer of the Demon Luo Scripture

Mo Lingna was slightly taken aback by Zhuge Xiang's words. Although she didn't understand the purpose of that unassuming Great Black Iron, a component of the South Heaven Gate, Mo Lingna naturally wouldn't go against his wishes since Zhuge Xiang had spoken. She nodded, walked onto the stage, reached out and took the huge piece of black iron, holding it in her hand. Her clear voice rang out. "This is my choice."

As expected by the experts of Sole Dominance Mountain, although the jade pendant, which was at the level of Half-Demon Artifact, was not very effective and was almost damaged, it should have been the better choice than the Great Black Iron of unknown purpose. However, Mo Lingna actually chose the unassuming Great Black Iron? This surprised the experts of Sole Dominance Mountain, and many of the more astute individuals looked at Mo Lingna with a strange expression.

Could it be that she recognizes the True Identity of that Great Black Iron? Could it be even stronger than that jade pendant, which is at the Half-Demon Artifact level?

"Alright, although we don't know what this Great Black Iron is made of, it's incredibly hard. Let's see if we can forge a suit of armor for you. If we succeed, we'll make a fortune," Zhuge Xiang said with a hearty laugh, approving of Mo Lingna's choice.

Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, these powerful figures who had harbored ambitions abandoned their thoughts. So, Mo Lingna's choice was simply based on the hardness of the Great Black Iron, intending to forge a powerful defensive artifact? Regardless of Mo Lingna's true intentions in choosing the Great Black Iron, at least the Shadow Ghost Emperor was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that, in this unexpected turn of events, his last choice would yield a jade pendant of Half-Demon Artifact level. In his delight, the Shadow Ghost Emperor kept the last jade pendant in his hand. Thus, the Sacred War in the Asura Path could be considered a complete Merit.

After a Sacred War, the powerful figures all obtained their desired treasures. The fighting spirit emanating from these Sacred War further fueled the fighting spirit within the Asura Path. Of course, the happiest person was Zhuge Xiang.

Originally, Zhuge Xiang thought that even if he obtained the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, Demon Artifact, he would use it to exchange for a component of the South Heaven Gate. However, he did not expect that Mo Lingna would also become one of the top ten and obtain a component of the South Heaven Gate. In this way, Zhuge Xiang could keep the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, Demon Artifact, for himself.

Moreover, during the Sacred War, Zhuge Xiang also obtained many valuable items, including the Undying Will and the Sky-Forbidden God-Slaying Slash, as well as the Sun Chasing Boots (Half-Demon Artifact), Star Chart, a Soul Returning Pill, Critical Immortal Jade. Of course, the most important thing was that his cultivation level had increased to the Fifth Layer of the Great Accomplishment Stage... "Zhuge Xiang, the Great Emperor requests your presence." The Sacred War had ended, and the powerful figures of Sole Dominance Mountain should naturally have left, but the White Bone Emperor came before Zhuge Xiang and spoke.

The White Bone Emperor was now completely convinced of Zhuge Xiang's abilities. He admired Great Emperor Xuan Luo's foresight in winning the Sacred War, as the Asura King's strength was sufficient to secure the championship.

"Okay," Zhuge Xiang said, taking over the South Heaven Gate component from Mo Lingna. Hearing the words of the White Bone Emperor, Zhuge Mo Lingna nodded and followed the White Bone Emperor, Great Emperor Xuan Luo, one of the Nine Great Emperor of the Asura Path, and the Founding Ancestor of the Asura Sect. Zhuge Xiang also wanted to meet this Ancestor of the Asura Sect.

Although the Asura Path is one of the Three Realms and Six Paths, its area is smaller than that of the Mortal Realm. Great Emperor Xuan Luo, as one of the Nine Great Emperor, controls a region of land. However, given the speed of Zhuge Xiang and his group, they arrived at Great Emperor Xuan Luo's Palace, the Xuan Luo Great Hall, in just a short while.

Above the Great Hall, Great Emperor Xuan Luo sat high on his throne, with more than a dozen Asura Emperor standing on either side. Although there were only a few powerful beings in the Asura Path who could be called emperors, those who were qualified to stand in this Great Hall were all Asura Emperor.

As Zhuge Xiang, Mo Lingna, and the White Bone Emperor entered, the Asura Emperor on the Great Hall looked at them with admiration and awe.

Although the Sacred War has just ended, as a major event in the Asura Path, it can be said that all the strong people in the Asura Path are paying attention. Naturally, the names of Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna have also spread. In particular, Zhuge Xiang defeated strong people and crushed the Five Emperors under his feet, winning the title of the strongest in the Sacred War in one fell swoop. With such strength, he can be said to be the number one person in the Asura Path below the Great Emperor.

The Asura Emperor possesses the strength of Immortal-Demon level, and in the Cultivation World, he is someone everyone looks up to, on par with the Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens. Yet, in this Asura Path, he is actually looking at me with admiration and awe. This would have been something I would never have dared to imagine before.

"A junior of the Asura Sect greets the Ancestor." Upon arriving before Great Emperor Xuan Luo, Zhuge Xiang composed himself and respectfully bowed. As a junior of the Asura Sect, he paid his respects to Great Emperor Xuan Luo. Following Zhuge Xiang, Mo Lingna also bowed.

Great Emperor Xuan Luo smiled, rose from his throne, and helped Zhuge Xiang up. His face was filled with appreciation and affection. As the Founding Ancestor of the Asura Sect, he naturally liked Zhuge Xiang very much, as this junior of the Asura Sect was so outstanding.

"Hahaha, having you is a blessing for my Asura Sect," Great Emperor Xuan Luo laughed loudly, making no attempt to hide his fondness for Zhuge Xiang.

"You flatter me, Ancestor. It is my good fortune to become Asura Sect Disciples," Zhuge Xiang replied.

These words came from the bottom of his heart. As Asura Sect Disciple, Zhuge Xiang knew that without the Asura Sect's help, he would never have such strength. As the saying goes, one should remember the source of one's blessings, and Zhuge Xiang naturally regarded the Asura Sect as his own home.

"Good, good, good. No wonder that brat Luo Ba went to the trouble of expending his True Essence to contact me and ask me to help you cultivate the follow-up Cultivation Technique of the Demon Luo Scripture Asura Sect." Zhuge Xiang's sense of belonging to the Asura Sect made Great Emperor Xuan Luo say "good" three times.

"The follow-up Cultivation Technique of the Demon Luo Scripture? Master expended his True Essence to contact the Ancestor? Could it be?" Upon hearing Great Emperor Xuan Luo's words, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly realized.

No wonder my Master suggested I come to the Asura Path when I was in the Cultivation World. It turns out he expended his True Essence to contact the Ancestor of the Asura Path and asked him to help him cultivate the Demon Luo Scripture. No wonder the Ancestor was able to find me when I came to the Asura Path. So that's how it is.

Zhuge Xiang was very familiar with the Demon Luo Scripture. This Cultivation Technique had nothing to do with cultivation level; for Zhuge Xiang, it could enhance the power of his equipment. Although he had only cultivated the Zhuge Xiang Demon Luo Scripture to the Fourth Layer so far, Zhuge Xiang was well aware of its Cultivation Technique. If Thirteen Treasures Phantom Image treasures were fully attached, Zhuge Xiang's strength would undergo a dramatic change. And as the Founding Ancestor of the Asura Sect, who understood the Demon Luo Scripture better than Great Emperor Xuan Luo?

"Master," thinking of what his Master Luo Ba had done for him, Zhuge Xiang felt deeply moved, even though he wasn't a sentimental person.

"Alright, Demon Luo Scripture, judging from your appearance, you've only cultivated to the Fourth Layer. I'll lend you a hand." Great Emperor Xuan Luo wasn't one to hesitate. Since it was for Zhuge Xiang's cultivation of the Demon Luo Scripture, he naturally didn't intend to waste any time. After dismissing the others in the Great Hall, he immediately began to act. Great Emperor Xuan Luo placed his palm on Zhuge Xiang's head, his eyes fixed intently on Zhuge Xiang's eyes, emitting an unusual divine light. Looking into Great Emperor Xuan Luo's eyes, Zhuge Xiang felt as if his mind was being sucked into a black hole.

Profound Cultivation Technique and information about the Profound Mysteries Demon Luo Scripture poured out like a flood. Countless faint Runes and messages, visible to the naked eye, appeared in the eyes of the Great Emperor Xuan Luo and entered Zhuge Xiang's eyes. Simultaneously, Mechanical System Prompt continuously echoed in Zhuge Xiang's mind...

"Ding! Your HP has reached 1 million, meeting the requirements for the Fifth Layer of the Demon Luo Scripture. Begin cultivation."

"Ding! Physical defense and attack power have both reached 300,000, meeting the cultivation requirements for the Sixth Layer of the Demon Luo Scripture. Begin cultivation."

"Ding! You are wearing three or more Half-Immortal Artifact- grade equipment, meeting the cultivation requirements for the Seventh Layer of the Demon Luo Scripture. Begin cultivation."

"Ding! You possess an Immortal Artifact- grade equipment, meeting the cultivation requirements for the Eighth Layer of the Demon Luo Scripture. Begin cultivation."

A series of Mechanical System Prompt rang in Zhuge Xiang's mind. With the help of Great Emperor Xuan Luo, the Demon Luo Scripture, which Zhuge Xiang had met the requirements for but had always struggled to cultivate, was now being successfully completed.

The Cultivation Technique of the Demon Luo Scripture have also been upgraded from the Fourth Layer to the Eighth Layer. In addition to the sword, armor, boots, and cloak, the Phantom Image of the Thirteen Treasures now include four more items that can be used: a necklace, a helmet, a belt, and a bow.

Currently, Zhuge Xiang doesn't have a suitable bow, so this Phantom Image is not needed for the time being. However, the necklace, helmet, and belt are very useful to Zhuge Xiang.

"Ding! The Ninth Layer of the Demon Luo Scripture requires an Immortal Artifact- grade equipment to cultivate."

However, despite Demon Luo Scripture Great Emperor Xuan Luo's help, Zhuge Xiang was stuck on the Ninth Layer of the Demon Luo Scripture, which required the use of Immortal Artifact to cultivate. Zhuge Xiang did not meet this requirement at the moment, so even with Great Emperor Xuan Luo's assistance, he had no way to Zhuge Xiang.

"This is really strange..." After a long while, unable to break through the barrier of the Ninth Layer, Great Emperor Xuan Luo had no choice but to withdraw his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.

The Demon Luo Scripture was created by Great Emperor Xuan Luo. Although this Cultivation Technique varies from person to person, Great Emperor Xuan Luo believed he understood it very well. However, when it came to Zhuge Xiang, he found it difficult to help him break through to the Ninth Layer.

"Ancestor, it's already quite good that you've cultivated to the Eighth Layer. I'll slowly comprehend the Ninth Layer myself." Zhuge Xiang also knew about this Demon Luo Scripture. Perhaps because of his Super Game System, which made him different from others, he didn't force it.

For Zhuge Xiang, being able to advance to the Eighth Layer in one go was already an unexpected surprise.

P. S.: Updates have been very infrequent this month, but I've been incredibly busy. Needless to say, I'll be releasing five chapters each today and tomorrow as a small compensation. Next month, I estimate this book will be nearing completion.
