A dark red energy surrounded his body, a clear sign that he had made one with the cultivation technique. However, Aiden still ignored what it meant to fuse with a cultivation technique.

After all, he had no knowledge of the world he was in, or in better words, very little knowledge.

“So, how does it feel?” Lu Zhi asked as she was not right beside Aiden, her black horns practically touching him because of how close her face was.

Aiden was taken back for a short moment as he quickly calmed down.

“Feels normal. Was it not supposed to do that?”

Aiden knew that this was out of the ordinary, but he needed to figure out what had just happened to him, and luckily for him, Lu Zhi knew exactly what had just transpired.

“Was a cultivation technique supposed to fuse with you? No. Of course, it wasn’t. Don’t you know what this means?”

Aiden shook his head. “I’ve been away from society for a long time…stuck in that forest and all. So, could you tell me what’s happening? Am I in danger? Is this a good thing?”

“Danger? Of course not. This is a good thing, maybe even the best thing that could have happened to you. You fused with a Celestial Graded Cultivation Technique. Don’t you realize how amazing this is? You inherited all the understandings from the previous owner of the technique…Don’t tell me, are you one of his descendants?”

However, before Aiden could answer her, Hua Mei, who still hadn’t left, was frowning heavily all because of one simple word…Celestial.

Stay tuned to empire

She had read that the technique was a Heavenly one, so why was her master saying that it was a Celestial Graded Technique…it made no sense.

“Did you say Celestial? Wasn’t it a Heavenly Technique?”

Lu Zhi quickly shook her head. “The Grade was changed to hide the potential of the technique. I’m sure you know what would have happened if one of the big sects learned that we had such a powerful cultivation technique in our sect…”

“They would have come to take it from us.”

“Exactly, they would have come to our territory demanding everything as if they owned the place. That’s why I kept it hidden from everyone in the sect. Not even the Elders know about its existence…and now that it has fused with Aiden…well, it’s gone forever; Aiden is now the last person who can learn the Demonic Body.”

Aiden wasn’t sure if he was following everything correctly, but from what he had understood, Lu Zhi had kept this extremely rare and powerful technique hidden, and he had just absorbed that very same technique within his body.

Then…shouldn’t she be extremely mad? Mad to the point of wanting to rip Aiden’s head off his body?

“Excuse me,” Aiden interrupted. “Could someone tell me what fusing with a cultivation technique means?”

Lu Zhi snapped her head back in his direction. “I said it already; it means that you have inherited all the understandings of the person who created this cultivation technique in the first place. Didn’t you feel memories rushing in your mind? In fact, most feel extreme pain when it happens to them the first time…so maybe there was a problem? Did you receive new memories?”

‘Extreme pain?’ Aiden thought as he remembered what it had felt like when he had inherited the memories from the previous owner of this body.

Lu Zhi was right; it was painful when it happened the first time. However, it was the second time that something like that had happened to Aiden.

Sensing her looking at his body, Aiden realized that he still hadn’t answered her question, so he quickly focused once more on the conversation.

“I did receive bits of memories that seemed to come from another person, but I had no idea what they were…everything makes sense now.”

“Yes! This is perfect. With those memories, you will be able to progress much faster than normally. You will even surpass me in the technique in the future. I already have a pretty good understanding of the technique, but yours will be even better! Who knows how much strength you’ll manage to gain?”

Aiden could practically feel the excitement in her voice as she kept looking at him with clear envy in her eyes.

At least she wasn’t the type to kill the people who might become more powerful than her. That was a good thing since she would even be helping him.

“Then, what should I do now?” Aiden asked, not sure what he had to do next.

He had acquired one of the most powerful techniques this world had to offer, and he wanted to learn how to use it right away. Aiden didn’t want to waste unnecessary time in this place. He wanted to go back to Nova and defeat the four founding families, becoming the one person stronger than the rest of them.

With those thoughts in mind, he looked back toward Lu Zhi, who had started explaining what he needed to do next.

“It’s quite simple, really. The next thing to do is to start cultivating, and as I said before…dual cultivation requires having sex with the opposite gender. So, want to start right away?” Lu Zhi asked as she pointed toward her bedroom.

Honestly, she wanted to have with Aiden right away…she wasn’t sure why, but she felt deeply attracted to the man in front of her ever since he had merged with the cultivation technique as if he could give her a better understanding of the cultivation technique…as if he was the key to obtain more strength.

However, right before Aiden started to follow her…a memory flashed in his mind. A memory from the creator of the Demonic Body Technique.

It went along the lines that the technique has better effects when the person you’re having sex with… is pure.

Aiden mindlessly looked at Hua Mei when this memory appeared in his mind, unsure if she would agree to cultivate with him.
