Journey to the West: The Demon Emperor

Chapter 19 Ancient Demon Cultivation Method

"boom!!!"

The next day, after a day and night of non-stop interrogation, all that the man and the demon knew had been emptied out. Then Li Yang emitted two golden lights, sending them on the road to reopening.

From the mouths of the man and the demon, Li Yang has also confirmed the current timeline.

At this time, about sixty years had passed since Sun Wukong caused trouble in Heaven and was suppressed.

The legend of the Seven Great Sages gradually disappeared when the "Monkey King" was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

However, the Bull Demon King and the other six demons are still famous.

The reason why he knew it so specifically was because Sun Wukong's previous feat of causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace had caused quite a stir among the demon clan.

Just look at the time after the Journey to the West began. Even though five hundred years have passed, there are still monsters that are intimidated by the title of "The Monkey King".

In addition to confirming the approximate timeline, Li Yang also had a rough understanding of the real situation of this world.

It is not much different from what Li Yang knew before.

In this world, there are four major continents, namely: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nandanbuzhou, Xiniuhezhou, and Beijuluzhou.

Among them, Dongsheng Shenzhou is the territory of Taoism, while Buddhism occupies Xiniu Hezhou.

Nandanbuzhou is the main distribution area of ​​the human dynasty, and has been plagued by wars for thousands of years.

As for Uttarakuru, with its poor mountains and bad waters, it is used as the base camp by the highly adaptable demon tribe.

At this moment, Li Yang finally had a clearer concept of this world.

Not only that, from the mouths of the man and the demon, Li Yang also learned in detail about the cultivation content.

It was not until this moment that Li Yang realized that the "Heavenly Demon Art" he was currently studying was actually the method of ancient demon cultivation.

However, due to the changes in heaven and earth, the innate qi dissipated, and the acquired qi completely dominated the mainstream, and the ancient methods of demon cultivation had long been eliminated.

After all, "The Art of Heavenly Demon" has a huge demand for cultivation resources, and each breakthrough in the realm requires massive resource support.

In particular, if one wants to practice all four chapters of "The Art of Heavenly Demon" to the extreme and transform into a "congenital creature", a large amount of congenital energy will be needed.

If Li Yang had not accidentally obtained the remains of a Golden Crow and received a large amount of "Golden Crow blood", he would probably have given up "The Art of Heavenly Demon" and found a way to improve it.

Therefore, although "The Art of Heavenly Demon" is extremely powerful and is the most orthodox method of cultivation for the demon race, it has basically been eliminated by the demon race.

The current demon tribes practice almost all of their cultivation techniques that are evolved from the Buddhist and Taoist practices.

However, the Buddhist and Taoist methods circulating in the world today are almost all based on the human body and are not compatible with the demon race.

Therefore, in order to be more in line with these methods of cultivation, a special elixir - the transformation elixir - came into being.

The function of the transformation pill, as the name suggests, is to help the monsters complete their transformation.

Unlike practicing the "Heavenly Demon Art", in order to successfully transform, one needs to practice all four "arts".

The transformation pill can help the demons that have not yet transformed to directly transform into a "Tao body" in one step.

Depending on the quality of the "Transformation Pill", the qualifications of the resulting "Tao Body" will also be different.

However, there is a limit to the transformation that can be achieved with the "Transformation Pill", and there is no hope of evolving into an "innate creature" in one's lifetime.

Unlike "The Art of the Heavenly Demon", although it has various shortcomings, it has a glimmer of possibility of "going against the innate nature".

"call!!!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yang left again, found an ordinary barren mountain, and began to retreat again.

For Li Yang now, there is a golden crow's remains that continuously provide him with energy.

Therefore, his requirements for the cultivation environment are not high, as long as it is quiet and undisturbed.

At this time, there were still ten years until the "Son-in-Law Selection Conference" held by the Wansui Fox King, which was barely enough time for Li Yang to open another demon house. Therefore, Li Yang had no intention of continuing his travels.

Besides, Li Yang didn’t actually have any prospects for the “Son-in-law Selection Conference”.

After all, as far as Li Yang knows about the future, the final winner of this "Son-in-law Selection Conference" is likely to be the "Great Sage Pingtian" Bull Demon King.

Li Yang doesn't think that he is qualified to compete with the Bull Demon King based on his current status.

From what the man and the monster had said before, Li Yang also roughly estimated his own level of strength.

The mainstream realm of the current cultivation system, regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, before reaching the fairyland, is divided into four realms: "refining essence into qi", "refining qi into spirit", "refining spirit into emptiness", and "refining emptiness into harmony with the Tao".

This system cultivates "essence, energy, and spirit" separately, step by step, to strengthen one's own foundation.

Those beings who had previously besieged Li Yang were all only at the realm of "refining Qi into Spirit".

However, these beings were no match for Li Yang and were easily defeated by him.

Therefore, Li Yang estimated his own strength to be roughly at the level of "Refining the Spirit and Returning to Void".

The reason why he couldn't be sure was because Li Yang had not actually faced off against a cultivator at the "Refining the Spirit and Returning to Void" realm.

The path that Li Yang takes is the method of ancient demon cultivation, which is different from the mainstream cultivation method in the current world. The three elements of "essence, energy, and spirit" advance hand in hand, with unparalleled foundation.

Therefore, Li Yang can only rely on guessing about his current strength.

In this way, Li Yang once again lived a dull life, practicing every day.

In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed.

"Daoist Secret: "Heavenly Demon Secret - Kaifu Chapter"

"Progress: Heluodaotu (100%)"

"Status: Completed, hang-up stopped, can be withdrawn"

"Mystical Power: Great Sun Golden Light Pupil"

"Progress: Great Success (3%)"

"Status: On-hook..."

"Avatar: Elephant Land"

"Progress: Getting Started (90%)"

"Status: On-hook..."

Looking at the information on the three white jade slabs in his mind, Li Yang was extremely satisfied.

During these nine years, he has gained a lot.

Not only has he thoroughly comprehended the "Heluo Daotu", satisfying the requirements for opening up a second demon residence, he has also made great progress in the other two magical powers.

"call!!!"

After stepping out of the cave after a long absence, Li Yang turned into a golden light and disappeared on the spot.

Not long after, Li Yang arrived at a nearby human city. After having a good meal in a restaurant in the city, he returned to the mountains to adjust his condition and prepare to officially open up the "Second Demon Palace".

As for the opening of the "Second Demon Palace", Li Yang is very confident that he can add another "Heavenly-level Demon Palace" for himself.

After all, when he opened up the "First Demon Palace" before, Li Yang had already realized that the key to opening up the "Heavenly Level Demon Palace" lies in the comprehension of the "Dao Diagram".

The "Heluo Daotu" that assisted in the development of the "Upper Demon Palace" has been thoroughly mastered by Li Yang, reaching the point where he can condense the virtual form of the "Hetu Luoshu".
