"I am but a Rogue Cultivator. I simply cannot stand to see the demonic path run rampant. Be on your way—"
Fang Qing had no intention of revealing his identity. Maintaining his cold and aloof image, he directly mounted his sword and flew away.
Whoosh!
After flying dozens of li, he slowed his sword light and took out a black jade slip.
"Baleful Blood Art?"
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, the cultivation method within the jade slip emerged.
"A demonic path cultivation method, focused on rapid advancement. Though this Baleful Blood Art contains only the Foundation Establishment portion, its advantage is that even those with poor aptitude can progress quickly—and when encountering mid-stage or late-stage bottlenecks, one can refine the essence blood of Foundation Establishment cultivators to break through. The effect is slightly inferior to taking a Barrier-Breaking Pill—"
After studying it for a while, Fang Qing could not help but feel chilled.
Demonic path cultivation methods indeed had great advantages in advancement, but they also made one far more likely to suffer cultivation deviation.
Moreover, according to Azure Sea Sect records, using cultivators' essence blood to break through might bring rapid progress in the early stages, but in the later stages, one would easily encounter even more difficult bottlenecks and remain trapped for life.
It could only be said that there were gains and losses.
As for Ancient Shu—he seemed never to have heard that consuming blood qi would lead to bottleneck troubles. Truly, the demonic path flourished there—
He flipped through the other jade slips as well, but did not find the famed black demonic flame secret art that had burned Senior Brother Heaven Cauldron bald.
There was only one secret art that rapidly restored mana by ravaging the body's potential and burning essence blood.
