Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 465 The Evil Emperor of the Demonic Sect, the Genuine Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique

Before Fang Yeyu officially debuted, Zhao Min couldn't wait to make her move and successfully won over Helian Ba.

With her initial victory, Zhao Min was full of confidence. She led her people to Sifang City to inform Bantianyue and Ouyang Feiying about the treasure of the Demon Sword Clan, thus disrupting the situation.

Zhao Min has an extremely high talent for martial arts, but her personality is too impulsive. Her martial arts skills are far inferior to Fang Yeyu's. Zhao Min's advantage lies in her strategy, her insight into people's hearts, and her ability to gain the upper hand at every step.

Zhao Min is not a warrior, but a strategist.

The way to deal with "strategists" is simple.

—Winning hearts and minds!
Once a strategist becomes enslaved by appearances and misled by others, making wrong judgments, he will inevitably sink deeper and deeper into trouble.

Especially strategists who are proficient in "refining the spirit".

In the most serious case, female strategists who primarily rely on the art of cultivating the spirit are easily troubled by matters of the heart.

Love is the strongest weapon in the world.

A love tribulation is the most terrifying tribulation in the world.

Zhao Min is thirteen years old and has no feelings about love. Although she lacks experience, she exudes youthful vivacity.

Cheng Huaixiu's situation was quite different.

Cheng Huaixiu was troubled by love and felt guilty. The more cheerful and optimistic she appeared, the more distressed she was inside. The prolonged suppression of her depression would inevitably lead to the collapse of her sword heart.

Given the nature of the Cihang Jingzhai mental cultivation method, once Cheng Huaixiu's mind collapses, his martial arts will crumble completely.

In fact, at this very moment, Cheng Huaixiu, who spoke of seizing the moment of pleasure and the beauty right before his eyes, and who appeared so carefree and magnanimous, was on the verge of collapse.

Her delicate face was filled with sorrow, and besides the ethereal charm of a celestial being, her eyes also held a hint of violent demonic energy.

Even Wang Shenglan and Mei Zhu could sense the change in Cheng Huaixiu, let alone Li Zhaoting. Li Zhaoting sighed and invited Cheng Huaixiu to the cliff behind the mountain.

"Huaixiu, sit down!"

Li Zhaoting sat on the edge of the cliff, his legs dangling casually over the precipice. Martial arts were truly a wonderful thing, able to overcome acrophobia to the greatest extent. Gravity was certainly an objective reality, but it could be compensated for with lightness skills.

With Li Zhaoting's lightness skill, even if he jumped off a cliff thousands of feet high, he could still glide through the air, grab onto the smooth, mirror-like rock face, and climb up step by step.

Cheng Huaixiu sat down next to Li Zhaoting, skillfully twisted her shoulders, and leaned against Li Zhaoting's chest.

"Is Huaixiu preoccupied?"

"Ok!"

"A mission from the sect?"

"That's right!"

"Will it cause me harm?"

"Indeed."

"You can neither refuse nor agree. If you refuse, you will be letting down your master. If you agree, you will hurt me. No matter what you do, it will be wrong. You can't even commit suicide."

"If jumping from here could solve all the troubles of the world, I would jump immediately."

"Death is not scary; what is scary is living, bearing all the blame, and living bravely."

Are you encouraging me to scheme against you?

“I am praising Yan Jing’an. Believe it or not, after you leave, Yan Jing’an will rush to the capital and personally apologize to my father, leaving him to my father’s disposal.”

"Isn't this a form of moral blackmail?"

Cheng Huaixiu frowned deeply, looking even more distressed.

"No, you might not know this, but the task my father assigned me might overlap with yours."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Yan Jing'an wants you to help Pang Ban master the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. The opportunity for Pang Ban to master the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique lies with me."

"You...how do you know?"

"Family records".

"Your father does not know martial arts."

"My grandfather was the leader of a demonic cult."

"Jade Rakshasa?"

Is that so strange?

"I see!"

Cheng Huaixiu's brows relaxed, and she let out a long breath. She shifted to a more comfortable position, enjoying Li Zhaoting's embrace and the rare tenderness.

Do you know what a demon is?

“If someone else asks me this question, I have a hundred different answers. But when my boss asks me, I can’t say a word. I really envy Sheng Lan. She doesn’t have to worry about anything and is more carefree than Bei Ming Kunpeng.”

“‘Demon’ is the unbridled desires in one’s heart.”

"Honey, what you're saying is too vulgar. I've heard it thousands and hundreds of times. My ears are calloused from hearing it."

"You've only heard of it, but you've never done it."

"What does the head of the household want to do?"

"I want to go crazy with you once. I won't listen to my father's orders, and you won't listen to your master's orders. Let's leave the Central Plains and enjoy boundless freedom in the vast and empty desert. There will be no righteous or evil paths, no fairies or demon lords, and we can completely unleash our inner selves."

Li Zhaoting's words were full of temptation.

Cheng Huaixiu said expectantly, "My lord! What you said is very appealing, but we must eventually return to the mortal world. Why do we have to run away from it?"

"What did you just call me?"

"The boss!"

"Since I'm the head of the household, shouldn't you listen to me? You do whatever I say! If I say we're going out to play, you have to come with me!"

"I... ah... um..."

Just as Cheng Huaixiu was about to refuse, Li Zhaoting scooped her up and rolled her down, grabbing a vine with one hand and holding her in his arms with the other, and kissed her forcefully.

Cheng Huaixiu's scream was cut off by Li Zhaoting. In the panic and excitement of the rapid fall, Cheng Huaixiu could no longer maintain her composure, and her emotions completely suppressed her rationality.

……

"Sister, my husband has disappeared!"

Jianxiong hurriedly went to the sword-forging pool to look for Wang Shenglan.

On a whim, Wang Shenglan was swinging a sledgehammer. She was incredibly strong and swung the sledgehammer with great skill.

Wang Shenglan laughed and said, "Missing? My husband is neither a three-year-old child nor a weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken! He's probably out looking for some fun!"

"Sister, I'm telling the truth! The maid said that the young master has gone mad and jumped off the cliff behind the mountain while holding Cheng Huaixiu. Let's hurry and find him!"

"Oh~ he's flirting! The most beautiful woman in the world is right in front of him, this lecherous man has been unable to resist for a long time, but he is a gentleman by nature and has only restrained himself until now."

“This…Young Master…”

"He used the same tactic to seduce me back then. When he fought the Green Dragon Society, the mountains collapsed and the earth shattered. He was seriously injured and needed me to take care of him personally. So, my older sister dragged him into her thief's bed."

"Thief's bed?"

"Hot spring pools are fine too!"

Wang Shenglan reassured Jianxiong with a hearty tone: "My little sister is perfect in every way, except she's a bit too thin. She should eat more meat these next few days and give her husband a surprise!"

"Are you really not worried about your husband?"

"There's still something to worry about."

"worry about what?"

“With Meizhu not by my side, in this vast desert, surrounded by sand, with no place to hunt, my husband might starve to death. Meizhu is too shrewd; she has spoiled him into a good-for-nothing in four years.”

Wang Shenglan shrugged with a hint of helplessness.

Jianxiong: Is there some kind of curse on the Li family? Every woman who marries into them becomes mentally unstable!

There are hardly any normal people in the Li family.

The most normal one is definitely plum and bamboo!
A true pillar of strength!

……

Four gates, a dungeon.

Yi Shuihan lay on the ground in despair. The extreme frustration and humiliation turned his hair white overnight.

Yuan Xiaotian did not kill Yi Shuihan, but instead pierced his dantian and imprisoned him in the dungeon, hoping that Yi Shuihan would repent. After a few years, when Yi Shuihan's violent aura completely dissipated, he could be released.

From the perspective of managing the sect, Yuan Xiaotian's actions were a grave mistake. Whether it was to uphold the sect rules or to eliminate the threat, Yi Shuihan should have been killed, leaving him no chance of survival.

No matter how down on your luck or how desperate you feel, as long as you're alive, there's always a chance to rise again.

A dark figure appeared outside the cell. Yi Shuihan sneered, "Who are you? Did you come to laugh at me? Look! Look! I'm a joke from head to toe! A complete and utter joke!"

"Do you want to take revenge on Yuan Xiaotian? I'll give you the chance. I can help you recover your strength, elevate you to a higher level, and allow you to defeat Yuan Xiaotian!"

"Are you an enemy of the Sky-Piercing Sword Sect?"

"Does it matter? Who I am means anything to you? What difference does it make whether I'm using you or trying to destroy you completely?"

"It doesn't matter! It makes no difference! I'm just mud! Anyone who's willing to lend a hand, whatever their purpose or what they want to do, is doing me a favor."

Even if you want to tear me to pieces, to suck my marrow dry and devour me completely, you at least need to lift me up from the mud and wash the filth off me.

What do you need me to do?
Let me make this clear in advance: my dantian and qi sea have been broken by Song Lingxiao, and I can no longer gather even a trace of true essence.

Don't waste resources on useless people.

Otherwise you will be very disappointed!

Yi Shuihan looked at the dark figure with disdain.

The shadowy figure said calmly, "You are short-sighted. There are countless martial arts in the world. The martial arts I will pass on to you can only be mastered by crippling your own martial arts and being on the verge of despair."

"What kind of desperate situation?"

"Of course, it's a complete mental and physical collapse!" The shadowy figure slightly opened its mouth, unleashing a soul-stirring demonic voice, "Yuan Xiaotian becomes the leader of the Qingtian Sword Sect, marries Song Yinhe, is appointed commander of the Kucha Imperial Guard, and his title is hereditary for three generations..."

Yuan Xiaotian's happy life was like a series of sharp knives piercing Yi Shuihan's heart. Yi Shuihan clutched his head, his anger surging.

Jealousy, resentment, bitterness, hatred...

Countless extreme negative emotions swirled in Yi Shuihan's mind. His head throbbed with pain, and he rolled around in agony, clutching his head and shouting incoherent curses.

What's eerie is that the guards were only a wall away from the cells, yet no one noticed the arrival of the shadowy figure or Yi Shuihan's sudden outburst.

The shadowy figure used its unparalleled demonic power to cut the entire prison cell in half, just like the secret technique Yi Jifeng had used before, turning the prison cell into a martial arts domain.

Within its coverage area, everything is under control; sound, light, shape, and color are all at its disposal.

While provoking Yi Shuihan's emotions, the shadowy figure chanted mantras and incantations. These unorthodox and mad mantras were transmitted into Yi Shuihan's mind and imprinted on his Yang spirit, never to be forgotten in this lifetime.

This mental cultivation method is shockingly titled: Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao!

Authentic and complete Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique!

The entire manual is divided into twelve chapters.

They are: Entering the Path (First), Planting the Demon (Second), Establishing the Demon (Third), Forming the Demon (Fourth), Demonic Tribulation (Fifth), Planting the Other (Sixth), Nurturing the Demon (Seventh), Urging the Demon (Eighth), Becoming the Demon (Ninth), Demonic Extreme (Tenth), Realm of Demonic Transformation, and Demon Immortal.

During the transmission of cultivation techniques, most of the techniques and their incantations were lost to the tides of time. Even powerful sects like the Demonic Sect and the Demonic Master Pang Ban only inherited the "Jade Planting Technique".

No one would have imagined that someone in the world was proficient in the entire Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique and taught it to Yi Shuihan using the most standard and primitive training method.

First, Yi Shuihan cultivated the orthodox inner cultivation method of the Xuanmen sect. His internal energy foundation was precisely the orthodox inner cultivation method. The demonic arts he cultivated after adulthood could not completely change his foundation.

Secondly, there is the extreme mental stimulation. By using certain extreme emotions, Yi Shuihan condenses a demonic seed. Yi Shuihan's jealousy, resentment, and hatred towards Yuan Xiaotian become the nourishment for the demonic seed, rapidly accelerating its maturation within his body.

The third step is to disperse all one's internal energy, allowing the unfathomable demonic seed to germinate without being suppressed by the orthodox innate true energy of the Xuanmen sect. This part is the simplest. Yi Shuihan's dantian is shattered, and he has no internal energy left.

Upon reaching the "Demon Formation" stage, one must endure various forms of torture, causing the cultivator immense suffering and further integrating the body with the demonic seed. This dual torment of mind and body continuously stimulates the body's potential.

Yi Shuihan's physical and mental state was just right for completing the first four chapters of the mental cultivation method. The cultivation of the demonic heart was a natural outcome, and the next step was to escape the "demonic tribulation" of the dungeon.

The so-called "demonic tribulation" is a method of putting oneself in a life-or-death situation to survive, allowing the body to enter a state of suspended animation, in a state between life and death, to fuse with the demonic seed.

Yuan Xiaotian was a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Upon learning that Yi Shuihan had committed suicide in the dungeon, he would not damage his body, nor would he bury him in the ancestral tomb of the Qingtian Sword Sect. Instead, he would find a beautiful and secluded place to build a solitary grave for him.

This is Yi Shuihan's chance to escape.

Having survived the "demon's tribulation" and escaped the cage, his body underwent a complete transformation, thus achieving rebirth. From then on, he walked a tightrope over a cliff, each step more dangerous than the last.

Each part of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Method is a unique and unorthodox technique. It stimulates potential in a way that is absolutely impossible and completely contrary to worldly concepts, using a demon seed that is neither alive nor dead to perceive the fluctuations of heaven and earth.

The fluctuations of innate true energy, the fluctuations of the breath of flowers, grass and trees, the fluctuations of the gate of heaven and earth—the so-called breaking through the void—are about perceiving the fluctuations of heaven and earth, adjusting one's own frequency to be the same as the fluctuations of heaven and earth, thereby opening the gate of heaven and earth, and transforming the body from a demon to an immortal.

Every step is like walking a tightrope over a cliff. It tests not only the practitioner's aptitude, comprehension, and perseverance, but also their fortune. To put it seriously, aptitude and comprehension can be slightly lacking, but fortune must be exceptionally abundant.

The slightest carelessness will surely result in a gruesome death!
The "Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao" is a mental technique that takes "deviant behavior" and "harming others for personal gain" to the extreme. It is also a desperate, all-or-nothing fighting technique.

In essence, both the Dao Heart and the Demon Seed are spiritual methods, with the cultivation of the spirit as their main focus.

In other words, if one wants to cultivate the Dao Heart and plant the demon, physical pain is not important; what matters is the spirit.

Take Yi Shuihan as an example. Even if 108 life-and-death talismans were planted in his body, causing him to suffer the pain of being unable to live or die day and night, it would not be as intense as his jealousy and resentment towards Yuan Xiaotian. This kind of extreme change in spirit is like a small boat falling into a raging sea, without roots or support, and in danger of dying.

Only a walking corpse like Yi Shuihan, who has lost everything and is left only with hatred, can condense an extremely poisonous, fierce, and violent demonic seed and break through the limitations of the mental cultivation method in one fell swoop.

"what!!!"

With a piercing scream, Yi Shuihan trembled and collapsed to the ground, convulsing, his face deathly pale, blood flowing from his seven orifices, and he soon stopped breathing.

The shadowy figure watching from the side could clearly sense that Yi Shuihan's physical body was "dead," his spirit was in a deep slumber, and there was an invisible and intangible "seed" within him, which was growing rapidly, nourished by the violent aura of the prison.

Not long after, Yuan Xiaotian arrived. Looking at his senior brother lying dead on the ground, he sighed. He dared not give Yi Shuihan a proper and grand burial, nor could he bury him in the ancestral grave. Instead, he bought a coffin and buried him in a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains.

Several days later, the tomb exploded with a loud bang, and Yi Shuihan broke out of the coffin, exuding a demonic aura.

With his dantian shattered, he could no longer accumulate true qi. He felt a moment of dizziness and thought that there were two hearts in his body, one gathering qi and blood, and the other absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Yi Shuihan didn't need to do anything; he just stood there quietly. The primordial energy of heaven and earth was absorbed into his body by the demonic seed, like a whale sucking water. It flowed through his meridians and acupoints, refining his essence and blood, and improving his physical attributes.

Yi Shuihan subconsciously ran at full speed. After a martial artist's martial arts were crippled, he should be physically weak. Yi Shuihan had not eaten or drunk anything for several days, but when he ran, he felt an unprecedented ease, as if he had inexhaustible strength in his body.

A strange power surged and churned within Yi Shuihan's eight extraordinary meridians like a tidal wave, each surge bringing a completely new sensation, and Yi Shuihan couldn't help but cheer.

"Ahhh, I want revenge!"

Yi Shuihan clenched his fists and looked up into the air, intending to seek revenge on Yuan Xiaotian, when a loud "slap" rang out as a slap landed hard on his face.

Yi Shuihan spun around in the air seven or eight times before collapsing into the sandpit like a rag doll. Looking closely, he saw the dark figure who had taught him martial arts with his back to him, his god-like and demonic aura enveloping an area of ​​thirty feet, making the surroundings icy cold.

"You wicked creature! What right do you have to seek revenge? With your rudimentary martial arts technique, or your broken body? Yuan Xiaotian not only mastered the Sky-Piercing Sword, but also practiced the sword manual left by Li Zhaoting, increasing his combat power two or three times!"

"My combat power has increased at least fivefold!"

"So what? Can you defeat Yuan Xiaotian? Can you defeat hundreds of disciples of the Qingtian Sword Sect? Can you defeat thousands of troops from Kucha? Can you defeat Li Zhaoting?"

"Please enlighten me, senior."

"Yuan Xiaotian has better aptitude than you and more resources. The longer you delay, the greater the gap will be. If you want to surpass Yuan Xiaotian, you need to obtain extraordinary resources."

First, I need to find a divine skill manual. The Four Directions Mysterious Skill of the Four Directions Sect is very suitable for you. The mental cultivation method I will teach you is the ultimate skill of refining the spirit, and the Four Directions Mysterious Skill is the ultimate skill of cultivating qi.

By cultivating both inner and outer strength, the power of the mental cultivation method can be increased several times over.

Secondly, find divine weapons and artifacts, gather the four pieces of Qilin Jade to open the treasure, find the Demon-Slaying Sword and the sword manual. As long as you master three ultimate moves, you can fight even Li Zhaoting, let alone Yuan Xiaotian.

Another point is that there is a hidden race in the Western Regions called the Demon Sword Remnant Clan. They have requested the Sword Forging City to forge a divine weapon called the Frost Sword, which will be completed in eight days.

You must not try to steal the sword.

Li Zhaoting is the son-in-law of the Sword Master and the lover of the Queen of Kucha. If Li Zhaoting sees you, he will definitely kill you in order to eliminate the threat to the Queen.

Go find the Four Directions Sect, seize the Four Directions Mystic Arts, collect the four Qilin Jade pieces, and cultivate the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique.

The shadowy figure spoke in a seductive tone.

Yi Shuihan thought to himself, "Stop showing off. Once I've mastered my skills, I'll chop you into hundreds of pieces."

While in the dungeon, Yi Shuihan was powerless to resist. He did whatever others told him to do, listening to Yuan Xiaotian's happy life. He fainted from endless mental torture. This pain was brought to him by the shadowy figure, and he was determined to take revenge.

The shadowy figure saw through Yi Shuihan's thoughts at a glance, but didn't care at all. On the contrary, he was happy to see it happen, feeling that the previous humiliation was not harsh enough and the negative emotions were not strong enough.

The Demonic Sect's inner cultivation method requires extreme emotions. The more angry, jealous, hateful, and resentful Yi Shuihan is, the more his body's potential is stimulated, and the faster his power grows.

Once the demonic seed blossoms and bears fruit, the shadowy figure will be able to harvest the fruit, which is filled with negative emotions. Yi Shuihan's inner turmoil is exceptionally rich, so the fruit must be delicious.

Thinking of this, the dark figure suddenly kicked out.

"Snapped!"

Yi Shuihan was pressed to the ground with his head being stepped on.

The shadowy figure sneered: "Yi Shuihan! Your little schemes can't escape my notice. Remember this: until you have the power to resist me, you'd better not reveal them! I like playing games, and I like powerful toys! If you can satisfy me, I'll spare your life, making you stronger time and time again, pleasing me each time!"

"You...who are you?"

"You may call me—the Evil Emperor!"

The Evil Emperor let out a wild laugh and drifted away.

Yi Shuihan got up from the ground, wiped the dense sand off his face, his eyes filled with anger.

Yuan Xiaotian, Li Zhaoting, the Evil Emperor...

You all need to remember this!

I will kill you all!
I'm going to kill everyone!
