In the Central Region, there is a third-rate Devil Dao Sect called the Scarlet Devil Sect.

Jiang Cheng staggered back to his room, his body covered in wounds and bleeding.

He closed the door behind him, his previously calm eyes instantly filled with resentment and murderous intent.

His fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, and his voice was low but filled with a fierce, clenched-teeth tone:

"I'm not reconciled! I worked my way up from the outer sect to the inner sect, risking my life to cultivate until I reached the Foundation Establishment Realm Middle Stage."

Lin Jian is such a good-for-nothing, his talent is far inferior to mine. Just because his father is an elder of the sect, he can ignore the rules and directly enter the inner sect, and he bullies me at every turn!

He would steal half of the monthly stipend given by the sect.

The treasure I risked my life to obtain was brutally taken away by him. I am truly unwilling to accept this!

His chest heaved violently, and his eyes became bloodshot. "Lin Jian! You just wait, I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!"

I will definitely kill you!

"Do you want revenge? I can help you."

A voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Jiang Cheng's face turned deathly pale, and his body stiffened. Had someone overheard his words?

He tensed instantly, scanning the room warily. The tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets were all clearly visible, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

"Who are you?"

He tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled slightly, "What I said just now... I was just saying it in anger, don't take it seriously, please don't misunderstand!"

Hehehe...

The man spoke, his tone laced with knowing mockery, "Whether it was just said in anger or not, you and I both know the truth."

Do you want revenge or not? If not, then pretend I didn't say anything.

He paused, then continued, "With your Three Spirit Root and this meager amount of resources..."

"I'm afraid I'll be stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm for the rest of my life, unable to even touch the threshold of the Golden Core Realm, let alone take revenge or rise above others."

Who exactly are you?

Jiang Cheng's expression grew increasingly tense. His eyes and Divine Sense frantically scanned his surroundings, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound, but to no avail.

What is your purpose in contacting me?

The voice rang out again, "Just answer me, do you want revenge?"

Do you want to stand at the top of the world?

Do you want to hold the power of life, death, honor, and disgrace over others?

If you wish, I will lend you a hand.

These words struck Jiang Cheng like a thunderbolt, resounding deep within his heart.

Years of pent-up humiliation and resentment burst through his defenses in an instant; his eyes turned bloodshot, and he almost roared:

"Of course I want revenge!"

I've had enough of being bullied! I want to become an Longevity! I want to stand at the top of the world!

He was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with urgency and a hint of fear.

Who exactly are you?

Why should you help me?

What price do I have to pay?

You may call me Elder Luo.

That voice rang out again, husky with the mellowing of years.

As for why I helped you?

Do you remember the broken sword you brought back from the ruins a month ago?

A remnant of my soul was hidden within it. It was you who awakened me, preventing my soul from dissipating in my slumber. You are my savior.

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat!

A month ago, he found a broken knife in some ruins.

The broken knife was only missing its tip and was considered worthless by the arrogant Lin Jian, which is why it wasn't forcibly taken away.

He suppressed his emotions, tiptoed to the cabinet, and tremblingly opened the door.

A broken knife, with only the tip remaining, lay quietly in the cabinet, its blade gleaming faintly.

"You... you're really on the edge of a knife?"

Jiang Cheng swallowed hard, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Certainly!"

Elder Luo's voice carried a hint of authority, "Let me ask you, do you want revenge?"

Do you want to reach the top of the world and be looked up to by everyone?

Jiang Cheng swallowed hard, his heart pounding wildly.

He nodded hastily, his eyes gleaming with fervent light, his voice trembling:

"I dream of revenge!"

I've had enough of this life of being bullied by everyone! Elder Luo, is there anything you can do to help me?

Elder Luo let out a meaningful low laugh:

"Hehe... I'm now just a remnant of my soul, and it will take countless years for me to recover, so naturally I can't avenge you myself. However..."

His tone shifted, becoming more arrogant. "I can teach you the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method."

This Cultivation Method is incredibly powerful. Once mastered, you can absorb the spiritual energy, Qi and Blood, and soul of others to cultivate, allowing your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds!

"At that time, let alone avenging our grievances, even Longevity will not be difficult."

"What?"

Jiang Cheng's pupils contracted sharply, and his face instantly lit up with wild joy.

"Elder Luo, are you telling the truth?"

Are you really willing to pass on the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method to me?

But... what price do I need to pay?

"Cost?"

Elder Luo's voice returned to its calm tone, "You are my savior. Passing on my Cultivation Method you is merely repaying your kindness; you don't need to pay any substantial price."

He paused, then added, "There's only one thing I hope you can do to help me regain my soul."

Furthermore, the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method requires the consumption of others, and the path of cultivation is destined to be stained with blood. You... are you really willing to learn it?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It was merely helping Elder Luo restore his soul; it wouldn't harm himself.

Only a fool would refuse such a sure-fire way to make money!

As for the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method being too cruel?

He scoffed.

The cultivation Immortal Realm is inherently a dog-eat-dog world, especially since he belongs to the Scarlet Devil Sect.

If you don't want to be trampled underfoot, you can only use others as stepping stones to your own advancement.

What does a little killing matter if it leads to becoming stronger and achieving revenge?

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he declared without hesitation:

"Elder Luo, I'm willing to learn!"

"But my cultivation level is currently too low, and I have no ability to find elixirs to restore my soul. I don't know how I can help you."

"No rush. Help me find elixirs to restore my soul once your cultivation level is higher."

Elder Luo chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Keep this blade tip close to your body; it will help you cultivate the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method."

Don't underestimate it; even if only the tip remains, its sharpness far surpasses that of Spirit Artifact.

Jiang Cheng's face lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly, eagerly saying:

Okay, I promise you!

Elder Luo, please quickly teach me the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method Art!

Listen up!

Elder Luo's voice suddenly became solemn, "Heaven and earth are the furnace, all things are the fuel, the Dao gives birth to the primordial energy, I swallow the origin;

Yin and Yang take form, all entering my body; Devil Cultivation Method Heaven Swallowing, all paths submit to me...

The obscure and profound Mnemonic echoed in Jiang Cheng's mind like the booming of a great bell, each word seemingly carrying a domineering power that could devour the heavens and earth.

After reciting the Mnemonic, Elder Luo said in a deep voice, "This is the entire content of the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method Art before the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm."

I will teach you the subsequent Cultivation Method after you reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

Have you remembered everything?

"I've remembered it all! I've remembered everything!"

Jiang Cheng trembled with excitement, his eyes gleaming with greed and vengeance.

"Thank you, Elder Luo! This Cultivation Method is exquisite. With it, I will surely be able to avenge myself, and I will even have hope of becoming an immortal!"

"Hehe, good to know."

Elder Luo chuckled, "You should hurry up and start cultivating. Hold the tip of the blade in your hand; it will help you grasp the true essence of the Cultivation Method more quickly, and your cultivation will be faster."

"Alright, I'll start cultivating now!"

Jiang Cheng gripped the tip of the knife tightly, sat cross-legged on the bed, quickly cleared his mind of distractions, and began to circulate the Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method according to the Mnemonic in his mind.
