"Another Divine Ability, the Myriad Tribulations Seal."
"This Divine Ability is quite powerful. I could seriously cultivate it."
Han Xuanji studied the Myriad Tribulations Seal carefully and suddenly discovered that it was actually a devil-path Divine Ability.
What was more, it was a legacy Divine Ability of the Heavenly Devil Cult.
"Does that mean Lu Fan's old grandpa is actually from the Heavenly Devil Cult?"
Han Xuanji fell into thought.
How else would he know about this Heavenly Devil Cult legacy site?
The Heavenly Devil Cult's origins were mysterious. Its first cult leader was known as the reincarnation of a Heavenly Devil. He had once united three provinces under his rule and stirred up a bloody storm across the Nine Provinces Continent. Many major sects had fallen, countless dynasties had been destroyed, and everyone in the cultivation world had feared for their lives.
In the end, many experts from across the Nine Provinces joined forces to subdue the devil, and the Heavenly Devil Cult was destroyed in a single stroke.
But though the Heavenly Devil Cult would vanish without a trace for many years, it would suddenly reappear every so often.
Looking at it this way, the many legacy sites established by the Heavenly Devil Cult had served their purpose.
There should be more than one such legacy site, scattered across the Nine Provinces.
Cultivating a devil-path Divine Ability doesn't mean I'm a devil-path cultivator, right?
I'm just a child who doesn't know any better, learning it for fun.
So Han Xuanji thought.
Cultivating this Divine Ability would not drastically change his temperament or anything of the sort, nor did it have any other side effects.
This seal technique had countless variations and was incomparably profound.
A Thunder Prison Seal could instantly annihilate every living being within a hundred li.
A Heart-Burning Seal unleashed karmic fire to burn the flesh and soul.
An Annihilation Seal split the void and brought all things to extinction.
A Decay Seal brought down the five signs of decay upon a Celestial Person, stripping the target of their lifespan...
For now, however, Han Xuanji could only unleash nine Law Seals at once. Even so, their power was astonishing.
"I wonder who else in the Heavenly Devil Cult has mastered this Divine Ability."
Han Xuanji felt that he really did need to lie low.
The Heavenly Devil Cult alone had such a formidable Divine Ability among its legacies. Heaven knew what other formidable Divine Abilities existed out there.
He must not think that possessing an Immortal Artifact made him invincible under heaven!
The Dao resonance in this place is definitely substantial, and I can keep signing in here. Coming with Lu Fan was the right choice.
Han Xuanji thought silently.
The next day.
System, sign in.
Han Xuanji recited silently.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in at the legacy site and obtained the Cultivation Method "Heavenly Devil Indestructible Body."]
"Heavenly Devil Indestructible Body?"
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
Even he had heard of this Cultivation Method's formidable reputation. It was said that the first Heavenly Devil Cult leader had relied on it to roam the world unchallenged, undying and indestructible. Some even said he had not died to this day and had merely been sealed away.
According to the rumors, the Heavenly Devil Cult had always waged war against the Divine Profound Sect in order to break the seal and rescue its first cult leader.
Now, however, Han Xuanji no longer believed that rumor.
Although the Heavenly Devil Indestructible Body was powerful, it could not possibly grant a cultivator eternal, indestructible life.
Still, this Cultivation Method was unquestionably a top-tier Body Refining Cultivation Method.
Once mastered, it could allow severed limbs to regrow in an instant, leaving no weak points anywhere on the body.
At greater depths of cultivation, one could even be reborn from a drop of blood.
That was also why the first Heavenly Devil Cult leader had been so difficult to kill.
He must have cultivated this supreme technique to a transcendent level. Even if his body disintegrated, as long as a single drop of true blood containing his life essence remained, he could use it to reconstruct his body without any of the side effects of possession, and quickly cultivate back to his former level.
"This Cultivation Method isn't bad either."
Han Xuanji felt somewhat conflicted.
He had discovered that many devil-path Cultivation Methods had their merits too.
Power is neither good nor evil; it depends on the person using it... That's right, I only want to understand my enemies.
So Han Xuanji thought.
On the third day, he signed in and obtained the Cultivation Method "Blood Devil Escape Method."
"Burn Essence Blood to travel ten thousand li in a single breath?"
Han Xuanji regarded it with considerable distaste.
He did not like a Cultivation Method that inflicted such heavy damage on its user, but if he truly encountered an enemy he could not contend with, this escape technique might come in handy.
He might never use this escape technique, but he could not go without learning it.
Han Xuanji hoped he would never have to use it in his lifetime.
On the fourth day, he signed in and obtained the Cultivation Method "Heavenly Devil Soul-Searching Secret Technique."
"A soul-searching technique?"
Han Xuanji shook his head.
"Not much use, but it was so simple that I mastered it the moment I signed in..."
On the fifth day, he signed in and obtained the Cultivation Method "Heavenly Devil Finger."
On the sixth day, he signed in and obtained a wondrous creation of heaven and earth, the Divergent Flame "Heaven-Burning Devil Flame."
"Isn't this the Divergent Flame that one of the Heavenly Devil Cult's past leaders relied on?"
Han Xuanji gazed at the wisp of crimson devil flame in his palm. It seemed to dance there.
It looked like an ordinary flame, but in truth it corroded bones and burned hearts. Even a Spirit Transformation cultivator would be burned to ash if touched by it. If properly nurtured, it would surely become a valuable aid on his future cultivation path.
Han Xuanji had previously obtained Divergent Flames by signing in at several alchemy workshops, but their power was far inferior to the Heaven-Burning Devil Flame.
After some thought, Han Xuanji simply tossed those low-grade Divergent Flames to the Heaven-Burning Devil Flame for it to devour and grow.
After being fed dozens of Divergent Flames in such a short time, the Heaven-Burning Devil Flame was stuffed. It disappeared directly into Han Xuanji's body, and once it had digested and absorbed those Divergent Flames, its power would surely grow even greater.
In the days that followed, Han Xuanji continued signing in at this Heavenly Devil Cult legacy site.
He was determined to fleece the Heavenly Devil Cult of its entire legacy before moving on.
In any case, he had already taken leave, saying he was going to make a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. The sect would not worry about a menial disciple.
Over the next few days, he signed in and obtained a set of Heavenly Devil Battle Armor.
This was a supreme suit of battle armor forged from countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures. When worn, it could automatically change its appearance, conceal its wearer's presence, and remain free of dust and dirt. Its defenses were astonishing, and by infusing it with spiritual power, its wearer could even summon a phantom Heavenly Devil to boost his combat strength.
A complete set of Heavenly Devil Battle Armor was no less valuable than an Immortal Artifact, and Han Xuanji was quite satisfied.
Of the many defensive Law Artifacts he had previously obtained through signing in, the best were only at the Spirit Transformation Realm level.
With enough supreme-grade Spirit Stones, this Heavenly Devil Battle Armor would serve him all the way to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
A month later.
Han Xuanji had signed in and obtained numerous Heavenly Devil Cult treasures one after another, though none were particularly useful.
That day.
Han Xuanji signed in again.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in at the legacy site and obtained "Heavenly Devil Essence Blood."] [The Dao resonance here has been exhausted. Please find another place with Dao resonance.]
"Heavenly Devil Essence Blood?"
Han Xuanji was startled. Only after the system informed him of its effects did he realize what a treasure it was.
Heavenly Devils were advanced life-forms that lived in the Heavenly Devil Realm. Each one was comparable to a human at the Immortal Ascension Realm, so their Essence Blood could be called the blood of immortals and contained an extraordinarily vast amount of power.
Han Xuanji looked at the drop of Heavenly Devil Essence Blood before him. Though it was only a single drop, it was as large as a thumb. Rather than taking the form of a liquid, it resembled a piece of purple jade, with a strange beauty that defied description.
The power it contained was staggering.
"It really is good stuff. Looks like I've squeezed this legacy site dry of treasures."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
Clearly, the Dao resonance at this legacy site had been substantial, and the rewards from signing in had been of high quality, but the amount accumulated had not been very large.
Still, Han Xuanji was quite satisfied. It was good enough that he had been able to sign in here for so long.
