Li Yuan returned to Station and sat down in the open space, and took out Demonic Fiend Banner from the storage bag.
The surface of the flag is dark purple, and the twisted lines float slightly under the perception of spiritual power. The demonic energy stored inside the banner is rich and heavy, far purer than the demonic energy converted by one's own spiritual energy.
These demonic energies are ready-made resources for cultivation.
Demonic Origin Technique's cultivation requires demonic energy, and he can only use spiritual energy to transform it, which is inefficient and affects his own cultivation.
This batch of demonic energy stored in Demonic Fiend Banner eliminates the need for transformation steps and can be directly absorbed to advance cultivation.
Li Yuan puts Demonic Fiend Banner on his lap and runs Demonic Origin Technique.
The guidance method is different from usual.
Normally, spiritual power is drawn from the Dantian, turns into demonic energy through the transformation node, and then penetrates into the body Deep Layer along the Demonic Origin Technique path.
Now, the demonic energy is extracted directly from Demonic Fiend Banner, skipping the transformation step, and allowing the demonic energy to penetrate deep into the body along the gaps in the meridians, the gaps in Muscle Fibers, and the micropores of the bones.
The first ray of demonic energy was pulled out from the banner and poured into the body along the palm of the hand.
The amount is several times larger than what I converted myself, and the texture is more mellow.
The demonic energy breaks away from the meridians and penetrates between Muscle Fibers. The penetration speed is more than twice as fast as usual, and the toughness and elasticity of Muscle Fibers rapidly changes where the demonic energy passes.
Li Yuan is not greedy for too much. It controls the speed of absorption and allows the magic energy to penetrate evenly into all parts of the body.
A sense of erosion ensues.
The demonic energy converted with spiritual energy is stronger than usual. The Affix effect of Demonic Origin Avatar reduces most of the erosion, but the concentration and purity of the demonic energy in Demonic Fiend Banner are high, and the residual erosion is more obvious than usual.
After absorbing seven or eight rays, Li Yuan stops Demonic Origin Technique and switches to Azure Wood Longevity Art.
Wood-Attribute Spirit Qi flows along the meridians, and the gentle vitality penetrates into the muscles and organs, repairing the erosion left by the evil energy bit by bit.
With the blessing of Demonic Origin Avatar and Affix, the evil energy left no trace on the body.
After two weeks, the erosion subsided.
Continue to absorb.
Demonic Origin Technique and Azure Wood Longevity Art operate alternately, and the rhythm is much faster than usual. The demonic energy in Demonic Fiend Banner is continuously extracted, and the amount absorbed in each round is increasing, and the body's adaptability to the demonic energy is rapidly improving.
The demonic energy in the body is increasing little by little, and the body is also being strengthened.
Aura Concealment and Affix are working. From the outside, Li Yuan has no trace of demonic energy on his body.
This lasted for most of the day.
The color of Demonic Fiend Banner's flag gradually fades from deep purple, and the magic energy stored inside decreases sharply with each round of extraction.
In the evening, the last ray of demonic energy was pulled out from the banner and penetrated deep into the bones.
The face of the banner completely dimmed, and there was no longer any fluctuation of demonic energy.
Li Yuan put the empty Demonic Fiend Banner into the storage bag, closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.
Panel jumped out.
[Cultivation Method: Demonic Origin Technique--Proficiency(0/400)]
Demonic Origin Technique was pushed directly from Entry Level to Proficiency.
The concentrated absorption of a large amount of high-purity demonic energy increased the cultivation progress in one go.
The transformation of the Deep Layer structure of the body has completed a qualitative leap in this half day. Muscle Fibers's toughness, strength of the bones, and elasticity of the membrane walls of the organs have all undergone significant changes due to the penetration of demonic energy.
Li Yuan ran Azure Wood Longevity Art for a week to repair the last trace of corrosion, and then stopped to carefully feel the existence of the demonic energy in the body.
It's completely different from spiritual power.
Monks absorb spiritual energy, convert it into spiritual power, and improve their cultivation.
Spiritual power is stored in liquid form in the Dantian and circulates through the meridians. It is clean, condensed, and controllable. It is like a river bound by a river channel, with a clear direction and clear boundaries.
Demonic energy does not need to be transformed, nor does it pass through the meridians.
Instead, it directly penetrates into every inch of the deep structure of the body, between muscle fibers, within the pores of bones, and in the gaps between the membrane walls of organs. It is everywhere but does not dominate. Like water seeping into the soil, it cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.
The time of invocation is also different. The spiritual power is drawn from the Dantian and sent to the designated location along the meridians. The demonic energy seeps out from every corner of the body at the same time and gathers where it is needed.
Slower speed, but wider coverage.
Li Yuan tried to draw a wisp of demonic energy from Muscle Fibers on his right arm and gathered it into the palm of his hand.
Dark air seeped out from the palm of his hand, condensing into a dark mist the size of a thumb at his fingertips.
According to Demonic Origin Technique, his current level of magic power is in the category of Mid Qi Refinement.
The texture of demonic energy is heavy and viscous, with a natural corrosiveness. It is completely different from the clear and condensed spiritual power. Demonic energy is more like a living thing, with its own penetrating instinct.
Li Yuan pressed the demonic energy on a stone beside him.
The moment the demonic energy came into contact with the stone surface, a layer of corrosion marks visible to the naked eye appeared on the stone surface. The gray-white stone surface turned into dark brown, and the texture changed from hard to loose, and one layer broke into pieces when pressed with a finger.
erosion.
This is the most essential difference between demonic energy and spiritual power.
The attack methods of spiritual power are impact, blasting, and cutting. In essence, the density and speed of energy are used to cause physical damage.
The attack method of demonic energy is penetration and erosion, which does not require huge impact. As long as it comes into contact with the target, it can disintegrate its structure from the inside.
Li Yuan took back the magic energy and looked at the corrosion marks on the stone. Based on your reading history, we recommended p>
My own magic skills are also in the Qi refining stage. The Immortal Dao side is already Foundation Establishment.
The two systems operate in parallel in the same body without interfering with each other.
The Immortal Path goes through the meridians and Dantian, while the Demonic Path goes through the meridians and the body Deep Layer. The paths are completely staggered.
The Hundred Rivers Return to Sea and Affix effects allow the flow of the two systems to be automatically coordinated without conflict.
Li Yuan ran Azure Wood Longevity Art for another week, and after confirming that the internal condition was completely normal, he stood up.
The sky has darkened.
The thick fog in the depths of Ghost Mist Forest became thicker at night, and the field of vision was compressed to within ten feet. However, Spirit Sense Clarity's passive perception covers fifty feet, Early Warning Array covers eighty feet, and large-scale Early Warning Array covers the entire periphery.
The fact that Devil Cultivator was able to touch Station earlier shows that there are loopholes in the existing defense system.
Early Warning Array can detect breath, but that Devil Cultivator used Breath Simulation Array Bead to disguise it as the breath of monk Li Family. If Early Warning Array only triggers the alarm based on breath intensity, the disguised breath will not be recognized as a threat.
Needs reinforcement.
Li Yuan walked around the open space to check the operating status of the three-door Array.
Early Warning Array, Spirit Gathering Formation, and Golden Light Array are all operating normally. Array Base Stone and Conductive Spirit Sand show no signs of loss. But First-Order Array's defense strength is limited. Golden Light Array's shield can only block Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement's full blow, and has basically no blocking effect on Foundation Establishment monks.
The Array system needs to be upgraded.
I have Array Dao Inheritance given by the Wang Family on hand. I have studied three First-Order Array, Array Dao Proficiency and my degree is Proficiency. But the upper limit of First-Order Array is there. If you want to defend against Foundation Establishment level threats, you need at least Second-Order Array.
Next time you are looking for the Wang Family, ask if there is a higher-end Array Dao Inheritance.
Li Yuan wrote down this incident, turned around and walked back to the center of the open space.
Take out all the trophies of Devil Cultivator from the storage bag and organize them one by one.
A few pieces of Law Artifact, the quality is average, there is no use in keeping them, I will sell them when I go back to the market next time. Spirit Stone is a few dozen pieces, keep them. Two bottles of Medicinal Pill, the quality is not good, so put them aside for now.
Then there is the Breath Simulation Array Bead.
The dark gray ball is placed in the palm of the hand, and the densely packed Spirit Pattern on the surface shines slightly under the irradiation of spiritual power.
Before, I only took a cursory look and found out that it was Law Artifact with a disguised aura. Now after careful inspection, my spiritual sense penetrated into the Spirit Pattern structure inside the array bead.
There are three different breath patterns stored inside the array beads.
The first type, Li Yuan, is already known. The aura is highly similar to that of Li Ze'an, and should be the aura template corresponding to the bottle of blood. Devil Cultivator used this template to disguise himself as the aura of monk Li Family when traveling outside.
The second one is a completely unfamiliar aura pattern. The spiritual characteristics are more feminine, like a monk who practices the water system Cultivation Method.
The third type is equally unfamiliar. The spiritual power characteristics are calm and thick, with a weak Earth Element attribute.
Three breath modes, three identities.
This Devil Cultivator is not just a monk disguised as Li Family. He has at least two other identities, operating on different occasions with different auras.
He probably has been traveling under multiple identities for a long time.
It doesn't look like a temporary disguise.
Li Yuan put the array beads away and took another look at the empty Demonic Fiend Banner and the bottle of blood.
The body of Devil Cultivator is still in a depression outside Station. Li Yuan had only dealt with it hastily before. Now that we plan to report Yuanyang Sect, the body needs to be properly preserved as evidence.
Li Yuan stood up, walked to the depression outside Station, and sealed the body under a rock with spiritual power to prevent it from decaying.
Just then.
Early Warning Array triggered.
Induction Jade lit up with a pale golden luster, and there was an aura signal.
Foundation Establishment monk.
Approach from the outer direction of Ghost Mist Forest, the speed is not fast.
Li Yuan's nerves tightened instantly, his fingers pressed on Token without moving, and his consciousness extended outward.
About ninety feet away, a figure was walking along the path in Ghost Mist Forest.
Li Yuan recognizes the breath this time.
Li Ze'an.
It's not a disguise. There is no deviation from the person's breath.
Moreover, Demonic Origin Avatar's perception did not detect that the demonic energy remained on the visitor's body.
It's Li Ze'an himself.
Li Yuan put Dharma Protector Token back into the storage bag, stood up and waited.
After a while, Li Ze'an's figure walked out of the thick fog.
The gray-blue robe is of exquisite workmanship, with a straight face and a steady pace. It is exactly the same as the one seen on Trading Fair.
When Li Ze'an saw Li Yuan standing in the middle of the open space, he paused for a moment, then raised his hands and saluted.
"There is something I would like to ask fellow Daoist to help me pay attention to."
His expression was a little more serious than usual.
"Recently, Li Family discovered that someone was using my breath to act outside. More than once, people in several places have seen a monk whose breath is very similar to mine."
He paused.
"Fellow Daoist Li has been stationed at Ghost Mist Forest for a long time, covering a large area. I would like to ask, have you seen such a person recently? His aura is almost the same as mine, but he is not me."
