Cyber snake arts

"I see, I see!"

Hu Mang figured it out.

Within the Azure Mysterious Realm, the natural Spiritual Qi is extremely strong, comparable to the legendary Immortal Realm, so people cultivate the Three Flowers simultaneously, each pursuing their own path.

However, the ancient Heavenly Gate was an old, dilapidated, and small environment with low Spiritual Qi, so one's essence, energy, and spirit must be in harmony in order to seek the Dao.

It's not a matter of who's right or wrong; it's simply a matter of different circumstances and different approaches.

But it is precisely because of this that the ancient Heavenly Gate) had considerable experience in studying the evolution of vital energy.

There's no way around it; it's necessary for spiritual practice.

Essence is the root of Qi, and Qi is the function of essence. The two are like lamp oil and flame; when the oil is plentiful, the flame is strong, and when the flame is strong, the oil will not dry up.

The key to Hu Mang's research on the "Awakening to Reality: Elixir Chapters" lies in reverse reasoning.

The Innate Qi evolves into primordial essence, which is called Subduing the White Tiger.

The innate essence, in turn, evolves into Innate Qi, which can then evolve into the "Flower of Qi."

Although the experiment just now failed, the direction has proven to be correct.

The only problem is that the innate essence evolves into Innate Qi in reverse, and it seems that the stimulation is not enough.

"Although Old Daoist Shen is only a Golden Core, it must be said that he has built a Daoist temple in a snail shell, and his Inner Alchemy methods are quite sophisticated."

"If I want the so-called reverse-powered Subduing the White Tiger, shouldn't I first refine the 'Subduing the White Tiger' technique?"

"The reason this old Inner Alchemy's internal alchemy method is so famous is certainly not because only the Golden Core can cultivate it. I've already reached the Golden Nature Perfection, so cultivating the Subduing the White Tiger shouldn't be that difficult."

"After mastering the skill of Subduing the White Tiger, one can then devise a method to Subduing the White Tiger in reverse, mastering the means of reversing the evolution of Innate Qi."

Hu Mang let out a long breath.

Even disregarding his demonic talent, he was still a promising young talent from the Heavenly Gate who genuinely participated in the Immortal Ladder Project.

Having learned so many powerful Cultivation Method, and with his ability to apply them to other situations, even without Old Xie, he could have figured out a lot of things based on his talent alone.

Just as Hu Mang was pondering whether to attend the final underground trade fair or continue working on Subduing the White Tiger, the phone suddenly rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Hu Mang raised his eyebrows; not many people knew his number.

It can't be some kind of spam ad, can it?

However, with his photographic memory, he quickly remembered who the phone number belonged to.

But why would they suddenly call? He hadn't even asked for their help yet. Why are they so eager to help?

Hu Mang hesitated for a moment, then answered the call.

"Hello, I'm Lin Zhiying. I think Hui Ba introduced me to you before."

A mature female voice rang out.

"Hello, Senior Lin," Hu Mang said, blinking.

"Hui Ba told me that you are a junior he values highly, and also a key figure that the Underworld Bureau is grooming. So you should know a lot about the Ghost Dragon Vein, right?"

"... more or less."

Having mastered a Ghost Dragon Vein should be considered a good understanding of Ghost Dragon Vein.

"Perfect timing. I have something I'd like to ask you, but it involves military secrets, so you must keep it confidential."

"Actually, if it involves military secrets... I'm not really interested in knowing either."

Unfortunately, the other party was not one to listen to reason and proceeded to recount the process of suppressing the Turbid Dragon Vein, the successive births of the two demonic holy sons, and their internal strife.

The more Hu Mang listened, the stranger his expression became. "The Holy Son of the Demonic Path? Me?"

Wasn't I the abandoned, Sealed Holy Son? How did I get promoted?

And this Ms. Lin, you seem to know me quite well.

I even saw my Sea Yaksha mask! What was your position on the battlefield back then?

"Major Lin, if I may ask, what kind of military duties were you in charge of at the time, and how close were you to the Ghost Dragon Vein?"

Lin Zhiying was taken aback for a moment, then said:

"I was leading my Flood Dragon Hunting Squad, tasked with beheading that demonic saint, but unfortunately, his Devil Cultivation Method were too strong, causing my mission to fail."

Damn! So it was you all along!

Hu Mang still vividly remembered the female officer who had chased him like a mad dog on the battlefield.

What the hell are you trying to do? Make me investigate myself?

"So, Major Lin, is there something you need from me this time?"

"I would like to ask, what method did that Demonic Saint use to escape the battlefield, and what type of Dragon Vein treasure or ghost-type Cultivation Method was used to quickly control a Ghost Dragon Vein? Also, does the Underworld Bureau have any records of that Ghost Dragon Vein?"

The more Hu Mang listened, the more his lips twitched.

What's wrong with you?

How can every move strike directly at the vital point?

Can I tell you these things?

Did I tell you I'm not going to jail?

But if they know nothing, isn't that just trying to cover something up?

Eighth Master is really good at making things up. What Underworld Bureau advisor? What Underworld Bureau key talent being groomed by the underworld?

Am I not the kind of consultant who ignores others' concerns?

You've made it so difficult for me to claim ignorance even when I'm asked.

Hu Mang hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"I do know a little about the Ghost Dragon Vein, but this information is confidential. I'm not sure if I can disclose it to you, so I need to consult my superiors before I can answer your questions."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. It's urgent, so please get back to me as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, would you like to come to the East Sea Archipelago for an on-site inspection? I heard from Old Hui that you're also overseas, is that right?"

"No, no, no--"

Hu Mang quickly glanced at the coordinates of Spirit Pivot No. 1 and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were "unknown".

"I need to consult with my superiors before I can consider any further action."

"Okay, thank you for your help. This is very important. If needed, I can apply to my superiors to have it retrieved."

"..."

Hu Mang hung up the phone with a pained expression.

Thankfully, there's no GPS tracking here, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape.

And what kind of operation is this? Sending an insider to investigate another insider? Is this some kind of double agent scheme?

"Let's get out of here quickly, we can't stand this awful place anymore."

Hu Mang let out a long breath and was just about to go find Old Sha when he saw Old Sha leading the familiar cybernetic female cultivator Jiang Kuisha over.

She wore a red dress today, and nothing else underneath, making her look extremely alluring.

"This person has something to discuss with you regarding that 'object evolved from the Dragon Vein's from before," Old Sha said expressionlessly.

"Old Sha, isn't your underground trading organization supposed to keep things confidential?" Hu Mang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't blame him. He's barely able to protect himself right now," Jiang Kuisha said with a smile.

Strands of black hair protruded from the Old Sha's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, making it look quite terrifying.

"You killed him?" Hu Mang asked, frowning.

"How could that be? As a descendant of Venerable Sha, one of the three Nascent Soul demons on the inner island, I still showed him some respect. It's just that this one is a bit stubborn, so I had to resort to a little trick."

"I gave that thing to someone else, so I can't trade it to you anymore," Hu Mang said directly.

"Who did you give it to?"

"Then I can't tell you."

Jiang Kuisha looked at Hu Mang with a smile. The familiar mental pressure that Hu Mang had sensed before appeared once again.

However, Hu Mang had fully recovered his cultivation and had no intention of indulging the other party. The Heavenly Devil Field had already been secretly prepared.

The two stared at each other, and ripples spread through the air. The old oil lamp hanging in the corridor began to crack finely in its lampshade amidst the aftershocks of their spiritual connection. The cracks spread from the top to the bottom of the lampshade, and then the entire lampshade shattered with a crisp sound, exploding into a pile of fragments. The fragments floated in the air and disintegrated into even more primitive powder.

A murderous intent gradually surfaced in Hu Mang's eyes.

The other person was only three zhang away from him.

Jiang Kuisha suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "How about we go for a stroll on the beach?"

Hu Mang hesitated for a moment. Killing someone here would inevitably cause a commotion, so he nodded.

"Can."

Soon, the handsome man and beautiful woman arrived at the beach, both smiling broadly, looking as if they were on a date.

Of course, the woman might dress more revealingly, while the man would dress more simply.

But on the pebble path the two walked on, all the pebbles crumbled into powder.

A multicolored, glass-like spiritual aura began to churn wildly towards the Hu Mang. This aura contained various spiritual fluctuations of different frequencies, some sharp as needles, some heavy as hammers, some lingering as silk, and some cold as blades, their changes seemingly endless.

The Heavenly Devil Field of the Hu Mang is like a large net. No matter how the opponent changes, it will generate corresponding transformations and continuously wrap around the opponent, like a spider web hunting its prey.

But the Hu Mang's attacks are not limited to the psychological level.

Every three to five steps, the surface of this cyber female cultivator's skin would suddenly crack like a broken piece of porcelain.

Then, in the next instant, it returned to its original state.

Hu Mang looked at the other person in surprise.

He had expected the other party to use some kind of bizarre cybernetic magic.

But what the opponent first displayed was an abnormally high level of recovery ability.

This was the first time Hu Mang had ever seen someone withstand the strangulation of the Heavenly Devil Field both mentally and physically within a range of three zhang.

But Jiang Kuisha was not having an easy time. Her originally exquisite and cold features were now reduced to a thin layer of skin. And from the implant hole in her neck, something that looked like threads of Divine Sense or threads of flesh was frantically spitting out, because if she was even a second slower, the Heavenly Devil Field's ability to dissolve anything would tear her to shreds.

Hu Mang didn't care about the other party's Celestial Person background. He was from the Heavenly Gate, and in terms of background alone, who was afraid of whom?

The two slowly walked to the end of the beach. Then, Hu Mang stepped onto the sea first, followed by Jiang Kuisha.

Her red veil flew into the air, but it wasn't erotic, because her human skin was nowhere to be seen.

However, instead of bloody flesh, there was a white material resembling skinned snake meat, and even the facial features had disappeared.

The face was replaced by a dense array of broken dragon scales.

Okay, now it's starting to sound a bit like cybernetics.

But this doesn't seem to be cybernetics, but rather cybernetics snake magic?

Hu Mang had previously witnessed a similar evolution at the Liu Household.
