Chapter 150: Chapter 144: A Monumental Karmic Bond

Within the Dantian, both the Blood and Flesh Demonic Qi and the Yin Yang Demonic Qi surged due to the operation of the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill.

The speed of the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill’s operation inexplicably accelerated, rapidly producing Primordial Spirit Demonic Qi.

The three major Demonic Qi resonated and fused with each other.

In the end, the three types of Demonic Qi merged into one, becoming a brand new sort of Demonic Qi.

Moreover, at this moment in Li An’s consciousness sea, the three major Cultivation Techniques roared like grand bells, and as if enlightenment dawned, a brand new Cultivation Technique appeared in his mind…

“Immortal Celestial Demon Skill!”

Li An was internally shocked.

The intertwining and fusion of the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill, and the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill had unexpectedly led to this transformation, forming a brand new Cultivation Technique.

This was truly astounding.

His first thought: This Demon Skill is certainly no ordinary technique; it must have an extraordinary origin.

Ordinary Cultivation Techniques could never undergo such a transformation.

It absolutely surpassed the Profound Rank, at least at Earth Tier, and possibly even higher!

Moreover, the person who created this Demon Skill must be an astonishing figure of epic proportions.

“Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, devouring heavens and earth, refining Primordial Spirit, nurturing the physical body, increasing spirituality, ultimately reaching immortality!”

This was the general outline of the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill.

Its core was none other than devouring and plundering.

Forcibly plundering from others to strengthen oneself.

It primarily included three aspects:

First, Soul Devouring. To devour others’ souls to enhance one’s own Divine Sense and soul, ultimately achieving the immortality of the soul.

Second, Body Refinement. To plunder others’ blood and flesh essence to strengthen one’s own physique, ultimately achieving the immortal body.

Third, Root Strengthening. To absorb others’ powerful Spirit Roots as nutrients to nourish oneself, allowing the Spirit Root to break through the limits of heaven and earth.

Li An was shaken inside; this Demon Skill… could be described as domineering!

In fact, the three core techniques of this Demon Skill align with the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill, the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill, and the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill.

The Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill enhances Spirit Roots and cultivation.

The Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill controls others’ blood and flesh.

The Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill mainly cultivates the Primordial Spirit.

However, the three major Cultivation Techniques had many restrictions beforehand; for example, the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill required the Yin and Yang fusion with others, and the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill could only control others but not directly plunder to strengthen oneself…

After merging, all these restrictions were gone.

“With the Divine Sense of the Primordial Spirit as the core, as long as the Divine Sense and Primordial Spirit are strong enough, you can forcibly devour and control others. In this way, their Spirit Roots and blood and flesh naturally become mine…”

Li An murmured in his heart.

This Demon Skill could be described as extremely domineering.

But there were downsides too; the longer the cultivation of the Demon Skill, the higher the level, the heavier the accumulation of Demonic Qi in the body, and the more likely it became to go insane, possibly going mad or turning into a demon through cultivation.

“Such a skill is only suitable for those with deep-seated bitterness and hatred or those crazed by cultivation…”

Li An shook his head; wouldn’t it be better to cultivate peacefully? Why take this path of evil demons?

This path can’t grant immortality, nor can it lead to becoming an immortal.

Not even a dog would cultivate it!

But just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in the Life Seed. As he gazed intently, he saw the branches and leaves of the Life Seed absorbing this Celestial Demon Qi!

With the absorption of Demonic Qi, it seemed that the second bud on the Life Seed’s second branch was about to grow…

“The Life Seed can actually absorb Demonic Qi?!”

Li An was shocked on the spot.

At this moment, a great wave surged in his heart!

What is the Life Seed? It’s the core of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill; through cultivating the Life Seed, his lifespan greatly surpasses that of ordinary people, and he can rely on it to strengthen himself.

This is also his greatest reliance in this life.

And this Demon Skill is definitely the Demon Sect’s Secret Technique of unknown origin.

Why was there such a connection between the two?

Moreover, ever since he had begun cultivating the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, it was as if he had been entangled with the Demon Sect over these years. Could it be…

He had unknowingly stepped into unimaginable grand karma?!

Rather than being excited or pleased, an inexplicable chill rose from his heart.

Having cultivated for many years, he deeply understood that the most terrifying thing in this world is none other than these two words: karma.

This kind of thing is indescribable and intangible, and the higher one’s cultivation, the more one fears it like a tiger.

Karma exists everywhere, and the karma most people encounter isn’t significant, so they often overlook it.

Li An considered himself nothing more than an ordinary person; why would he be involved in such karma?

The crux of the matter is, no matter what kind of horror or strangeness exists within, he can no longer turn back.

He can only keep moving forward!

There’s simply no choice.

“Maybe I’m overthinking it; what if there’s no connection between them?”

Li An comforted himself with a sentence.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, he began to carefully inspect the Life Seed.

In his daily cultivation of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, the Life Seed grew extremely slowly, but now, having absorbed a bit of Celestial Demon Qi, it was already about to sprout a second branch.

“Celestial Demon Qi can accelerate the growth of the Life Seed.”

Additionally, once the Celestial Demon Qi was absorbed, a kind of green aura was released from the Life Seed’s leaves, an aura that was extremely mysterious.

“It can neutralize poison and improve a person’s aptitude—”

Just sensing this, Li An was already quite surprised.

This green aura was useless to him because his Dantian and Spirit Root were already rooted in the Life Seed, growing along with it.

It’s a special kind of product.

“If I collected this aura and sold it, I could probably sell it at the price of at least a Third Grade Spirit Medicine…”

Unfortunately, these things were destined to remain a secret.

“No matter what karma there is, I don’t care; first, I need to become powerful—I’ll cultivate this Demon Skill first!”

Li An made up his mind.

In fact, if it weren’t for the current special circumstances, he might not even bother cultivating the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill, even if he got it.

Plundering others’ blood and flesh, devouring others’ Spirit Root and Primordial Spirit, and so on…there are many inappropriate aspects.

Firstly, once you start down this path, you’d probably have to keep fighting and killing, constantly in turmoil. This isn’t what he wanted; cultivating the Life Seed at a steady pace would be fine too.

Secondly, he was concerned about the Demon Skill’s unknown origins and its mysterious connection with the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill. If it truly was some kind of karma, the deeper his cultivation, the harder it would be to extricate himself.

But now he’s in a predicament, and this Celestial Demon Skill is a great asset for him and must be used.

Luckily, due to the presence of the Life Seed, the side effects of this Demon Skill hardly affect him.

“According to the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill’s practice, maybe I can even transfer the mysterious Demonic Qi within me into another person’s body…”

Li An wasn’t yet clear on the various marvelous applications of the Celestial Demon Skill; he only vaguely felt them and needed further exploration.

“Just follow my original plan…take a wife and concubines!”

Li An’s gaze became even firmer.

This was the only path to survival he could think of.

Now that malicious force had added another layer of Demonic Qi within him, making it hard to refine in a short time, it meant that he would always be monitored, unable to escape.

He couldn’t fight it, nor could he flee.

If, in the end, there was truly no solution, he would have no choice but to use the Demon Skill to seize someone else’s body and abandon his own.

This was the worst-case scenario.

To start afresh was better than being killed by the owner of the mysterious Demonic Qi!

But to seize a body and escape, he needed to prepare a target in advance.

This target must be someone very close to him, interacting day and night so that he could slowly refine them into a suitable vessel for body possession.

Choosing a wife as a guise to find a target for possession was most suitable.

Moreover, doing so would most effectively disguise his intentions from the owner of the mysterious Demonic Qi.

After all, in the eyes of the mysterious Demonic Qi’s owner, Li An harboring the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Skill meant that seeking women for cultivation was the most normal thing to do.

This was the reason for his decision to take a wife.

Besides this, he was also planning to take concubines, lots of them!

This way, he could confuse the perception of others, ensuring that nobody would know who he possessed until the very last moment.

This was the reasoning behind his decision to take a wife and concubines.

…

In his previous life, he was entrapped in love and desire, and having a wife and children was a huge burden to cultivation.

But now his purpose for taking a wife and concubines was very clear: to find a batch of tools for cultivation and escaping, a mindset completely different despite the similar actions.

Li An’s principle wasn’t that he couldn’t touch women, but that he couldn’t touch women who would hinder his cultivation.

His goal is the Nascent Soul, longevity, and becoming an immortal!

Anything beneficial to this goal can be pursued.

…

The next day.

Li An called a few well-known matchmakers in the city to help him introduce female cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with decent looks, the more, the better.

He wanted to take concubines!

As for the main wife, he had someone else in mind.

Gu Hong!

No other reason, but Gu Hong made him feel more at ease. With Gu Hong present at critical moments, it could alleviate considerable pressure on him.

The matchmakers went to gather candidates according to his requirements, while he ordered a carriage to be prepared and personally went towards Gu Hong’s Pill shop…
