This Spirit Transformation cultivator had traveled to other realms and fought cultivators of the same level. He had been confident that he stood an excellent chance against the infiltrating Pei Buchong.
Though Pei Buchong's strength had later shocked him, he had still managed to seriously wound a master of Pei Buchong's caliber. His greed had not been entirely baseless...
In the man's memories, Pei Buchong found a bloody art of wicked cultivation. Every part of its practice was steeped in blood and savage cruelty.
It called for swallowing others' Golden Cores and Nascent Souls whole, using infants' innate energy by sacrificing helpless babies alive, or extracting pure yin energy from unmarried women who had just died. Its methods were vicious and vile!
Pei Buchong had no intention of practicing it. He had only been struck by the man's combat strength, so when the Soul Search revealed the art in his memories, Pei Buchong gave it a cursory read.
For a cultivator who defied the Heavenly Dao this way, Pei Buchong's character, part righteous and part wicked, would not compel him to declare that the man must die. If they happened to cross paths and Pei Buchong was stronger, he might eliminate him. Otherwise, he would not go out of his way to slay devils and defend the Dao!
Among the man's techniques, Pei Buchong found a supplementary art called Blood Infant Full Moon. By the standards of this Spirit Transformation cultivator's arts, it was one of the milder ones.
It worked much like the Devil Race's body-dissolution art: a brutal technique that could make one's strength soar for a short time. Afterward, the cultivator would be left extremely weak. If anything went wrong, his cultivation would not merely fall—he could die on the spot. The risk was immense.
