Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method

Flipping to the last page of the White Emperor's Discourse Collection, Chen Ganliu saw a spell called the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method.

Suddenly, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

In his previous life, at the Immortal Encounter Sect, he had heard of this great demonic art, ranked among the thirty-six forbidden techniques of the Demon Race. Everyone in the sect unanimously condemned it as an evil art, extremely harmful.

Since ancient times, demons have been born incomplete.

For this reason, an ancient great demon created the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method, which could cultivate spiritual veins that one did not naturally possess.

When Chen Ganliu first heard this rumor, his heart had been stirred. He was born with only one Severed Vein. If there was some secret method to cultivate new spiritual veins, he would gladly accept any heavenly punishment. However, when he asked his fellow disciples, they all said the method had long been lost.

It was not even passed down among the five great sacred mountains of the Demon Race.

Having lived three lives and cultivated in two, Chen Ganliu never imagined he would obtain such a powerful "evil art."

He read on carefully, his heart growing more and more fearful. He thought, "As expected of one of the world's most notorious evil arts."

To cultivate new spiritual veins with this method, one needed to extract the inner cores of demons, and the Demon Cores had to be at least a hundred years old. Seeing this part, he was suddenly filled with immense regret.

He actually had a Demon Core!

The Wind Bead gifted by Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou was precisely the inner core of a Swallow Demon that had cultivated diligently for two to three hundred years.

If this core hadn't been snatched away by the disciples of the Immortal Encounter Sect along with other Magic Treasures, wouldn't it have been perfect for cultivating the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method?

Thinking of such an opportunity, with only a Demon Core missing, Chen Ganliu's heart burned like fire. He mused, "How could I possibly have the ability to dig out the inner core of a great demon that's several hundred years old?"

"These disciples of the Immortal Encounter Sect are so hateful..."

"Forget it, forget it!"

"I've fallen into the hands of a Demonic Cultivator now, and I don't even know how many days I have left to live. Why bother with these things?"

"Could a little more cultivation help me struggle for a sliver of hope against a Golden Core Great Cultivator?"

Chen Ganliu threw the White Emperor's Discourse Collection back into its jade box, tossed it into a corner, and refused to look at it again. He gathered his spirits and continued cultivating the Azure Emperor Jia Yi Art.

As he cultivated, Mad Zen stood upright above his head.

Chen Ganliu was in a gloomy mood and couldn't be bothered with the immortal flying dagger.

Seven or eight days later, Jiang Ningxue and Xie Zhanrou suddenly appeared together. Both of them looked shocked and uncertain. They ignored Chen Ganliu and each activated their Escape Lights to soar into the sky.

They had received a message from their master, ordering them to go and assist, and dared not delay.

Chen Ganliu was also alerted. As the two women flew away in their Escape Lights, he suddenly remembered that the person who was trapped in the Immortal Encounter Sect for thirteen days and nights had finally broken free. Wasn't it today?

"I thought I was surely going to die this time, but I didn't expect a turn of events."

"I need to escape quickly and get as far away as possible before they return."

Chen Ganliu, having "escaped death," was ecstatic. He returned to Blazing Light Cave and glanced at the piles of Magic Treasures, Spirit Stones, Spirit Medicines, Spirit Pills, Spirit Materials, and Talisman Coins scattered everywhere. He only regretted that his Storage Magic Treasure had been shattered by Mad Zen, preventing him from taking everything.

He first took the jade box, then selected twelve usable Magic Treasures, picked up twenty to thirty Spirit Stones, and a bundle of Talisman Coins. Resisting the urge to look at the remaining items, he hurriedly descended Shuangyun Mountain.

Within the Great Gan Dynasty, there were six major Immortal Markets. Suiyang Immortal Market was definitely out of the question.

Qingyun Immortal Market was right next to the Immortal Encounter Sect. He didn't dare encounter anyone from the Immortal Encounter Sect now, fearing he'd be killed as a Demonic Cultivator.

Shuangyun Immortal Market was next to Shuangyun Mountain. If the two demonic women returned, they would surely search the vicinity, and he might fall into their clutches again.

Chen Ganliu weighed his options among the remaining three Immortal Markets and decided to go to Jinyun Immortal Market near Jinyun Mountain.

There were no major cultivation sects near Jinyun Mountain. Instead, a great demon occupied the mountain. Because the Immortal Encounter Sect was nearby, this great demon dared not cause trouble. It merely cultivated itself and gathered dozens of lesser demons to live ordinary lives.

Demons also needed various resources for their cultivation, so this great demon set up an Immortal Market at the foot of the mountain.

It conducted business fairly and kept its subordinate demons in check, so Jinyun Immortal Market was quite lively, with both human cultivators and demons coming and going.

In his previous life, his Senior Sister had repeatedly warned him not to go to Jinyun Immortal Market.

Demons were not humans, after all. Many demons, even after centuries of cultivation, did not change their nature. They would occasionally go mad or crave human flesh.

Although Jinyun Immortal Market was mostly peaceful, there were occasional rumors of cultivators mysteriously disappearing.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Ganliu would never dare to go, but now he had no choice.

Moreover, he held onto a sliver of hope. If any of the six Immortal Markets sold Demon Cores, Jinyun Immortal Market would have the highest chance.

If he could obtain a Demon Core, he could cultivate the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method, cultivate new spiritual veins for himself, and walk further on the path of cultivation.

The Demon Cores cultivated by demons were not the same as the Golden Cores forged by human Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Humanity is complete, demons follow the five elements!

Therefore, human cultivation nourishes the entire body's vital blood, with the physical body being the raft for crossing the world.

Demonic cultivation, however, gathers the spiritual veins and demonic power of the entire body into one place, nurturing a Demon Core. This object is the source of all the demonic power and spells of a demon. When they reach the realm of Qi Refining Transformation at Qi Refining Layer Eight, they can use this single Demon Core to shed their demonic form, transform into a human body, and refine the demonic body into an "external object."

Even without evil techniques like the Heavenly Demon Vein Shifting Method, demons would still kill each other to seize inner cores and devour them for cultivation and increased power. However, they couldn't refine the spiritual veins contained within the Demon Cores and would only waste them.

Although devouring Demon Cores of the same attribute had some issues, demons could still suppress them. Devouring Demon Cores of different attributes would cause the two conflicting demonic energies to surge backward, not only failing to increase cultivation but potentially leading to qi deviation. At best, it would cause a regression in cultivation; at worst, it could lead to death or even transformation into a monstrous entity. Therefore, demons would also sell the Demon Cores of defeated enemies that they couldn't use.

The twelve Magic Treasures Chen Ganliu took were not the best quality ones. They were ones he could use and refine even at Qi Refining Layer One.

Among these twelve Magic Treasures was a Talisman Black Donkey.

This treasure, like the Talisman White Deer, could transform into a swift black donkey when imbued with magical power and thrown. It could also be used for travel.

The Talisman Black Donkey's refining technique was even more masterful than the Talisman White Deer's, consuming less True Qi, allowing for longer journeys, and even slightly faster speeds.

Chen Ganliu rode the black donkey, which had transformed from a talisman, traveling day and night without daring to stop for even a moment.

Seven or eight days passed in a blur. He calculated that he would reach Jinyun Immortal Market in three days. Seeing no one pursuing him, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and mused, "In a few years, I'll go back to Shuangyun Mountain and Blazing Light Cave. Those two demonic women are both at the Golden Core Realm cultivation. They might not care about the valuables I left behind. Perhaps I can even retrieve some of my possessions."

"Originally, I gained seventeen items of merit and thought I'd be set for life. I didn't expect it to be all a dream. Fortunately, I obtained the White Emperor's Discourse Collection and escaped with my life. The future is promising, the future is promising..."

This chapter was written with utmost seriousness and is incredibly good, which is why the update is a bit late.
