Chapter 244: Unsealing the Demon God, Claiming to be a Chinese Medicine Practitioner

In the Tantric sect of Skull Plain, there is a method of "initiation". That is, before the master passes away, he will infuse his concentrated magic power into his disciples. The Great Method of Transforming into a Demon in front of Su Heng is evolved from this method.

The difference is that it has changed from being passive to being active.

If one practices his Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique to a high level, he can plunder the energy of others and use it for his own benefit.

But this technique has a limitation. Two complex powers are incompatible. If they are in the same body, it will cause chaos and it is easy to go crazy and explode to death. Therefore, it is necessary for two people to practice the same power in order for this magic technique to work.

To Su Heng, this technique seemed a bit useless.

Moreover, he has an attribute panel, and can directly use the Haori Divine Art to plunder the essence of the warrior's flesh and blood. Increasing one's own physique and accumulating attribute points is much better than this evil method. Instead, Solban came here secretly and learned this secret method.

In such a precarious era, his motives are worth pondering.

"Could it be that Solban intends to attack those bald men of the Tantric sect?" Su Heng pondered for a moment, "It is indeed possible. After all, a real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?"

The three major secret sects joined forces to break through the Cambrian Pass in Jiangbeizhou.

But since then, Solban has rarely appeared in public, and there must be a conflict between the two.

Moreover, this guy quietly broke through to the realm above the Heavenly Guile without even letting anyone know. He must be holding back something bad and planning something big.

Su Heng lowered his head and looked out the window at the empty corridor, which was silent under the moonlight. He chuckled twice, feeling excited inside, and was looking forward to meeting Solban next time.

By then, the winner must be determined.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but Su Heng did not stop.

He took a step forward, went straight to the stele recording the Tathagatagarbha Sutra, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend the practice in detail.

This ancient stele was made from the bones of some powerful demon, and it bears traces of the Zen spirit left by successive eminent monks from the Fawang Temple.

If an ordinary person with poor cultivation were to browse the above content for a long time.

It is very likely that he would be brainwashed by these Zen ideas and become a monk. But Su Heng's spiritual foundation is also profound, and these Zen ideas can't even stir up a ripple in his mind. He extracted the most essential principles from these scriptures and carefully comprehended them.

As the Tathagatagarbha Sutra appeared on Su Heng's attribute panel, a strange and distant Sanskrit sound rang out at the same time.

Su Heng took a deep breath, his eyes dimly gleaming.

After practicing for more than a year, he is finally going to start exploring his spiritual potential and step into the realm of Tiangui.

……

……

……

At the same time when Su Heng was in seclusion and breaking through.

In another place in this ancient temple, the bamboo forest rustled and two figures appeared under the bloody moonlight.

In the middle of the bamboo forest was an ancient stone forest. Rough stone pillars rose from the ground, with runes engraved on them. Some of them were wrapped with chains and had skulls hanging from them. When the breeze blew, these skulls collided with each other, making a sound, like some kind of strange wind chimes, which made the surrounding environment very creepy.

"This is it." Someone spoke softly.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were practitioners who specialized in studying earth vein formations. They were called Tianqi Masters. They were very rare and not famous for their combat abilities. However, when combined with earth vein formations, under certain circumstances, their abilities were unimaginable.

The most powerful of them can even change the fate of the dynasty, and their means are unimaginable. Therefore, this lineage is sought after and treated with courtesy by all major forces.

Yu Qing is a Tianqi Master.

She was very young, no more than a hundred years old, but she had already mastered the Dao in this lineage, even surpassing some of the older generations. Therefore, she was given an important task and secretly came to the Dharma King Temple to break the formation left by the Golden Crow, unseal the demon god, and release Marpa from his cage.

The blood-red moonlight and the cold wind seeped into the bone marrow.

Yu Qing was wearing a plain grey robe that stuck to her body, outlining the curves of a mature woman. She had fair skin and her facial features were not outstanding, not as good as top beauties like Qin Shunying and Li Hongxiu. But her temperament was very special, with a strong bookish air and calm eyes, which was impressive.

In her fair palm was a compass, the needle of which moved gently, pointing to the stone forest in front of her where many skeletons were hanging.

"Distributed in eight gates, the stars and gods are mysterious; Tianying Fire Division, the Golden Crow returns."

Swish!
She recited the spell silently.

Then he bent his finger forward, and a stream of light burst out from his fingertips and landed in the stone forest.

"Pop!" Like the sound of a flower blooming, a light sound was heard, and invisible ripples quickly swept past, distorting the moonlight. The rustling bamboo forest around froze and fell into silence. After a brief pause, a rumbling sound was heard, the ground shook, cracks spread, and black smoke rose up.

Unparalleled heat was released, and the ground began to collapse, soon turning into a dark red magma, rolling violently, bubbling with gurgling sounds. The blazing fire in the void also reflected a dark red on Yu Qing's fair cheeks.

"Is this the end?" Next to Yu Qing was a young man in a Taoist robe, with ordinary features, freckles on his face, and an ordinary aura. This young Taoist was named Zhang Gu, a disciple of Yu Qing, who had just entered this lineage. He was brought here by Yu Qing to gain more experience.

Zhang Gu was very young and came from an ordinary family. He felt a little uneasy when he saw the scene in front of him. He clenched his fists and looked a little gloomy. "I feel like we are doing something evil."

"Why do you think so?" Yu Qing's face was still calm. He didn't feel guilty for releasing the demon, nor was he angry because of his disciples' doubts.

"More than 2,500 years ago, the corrupt demon Marba crossed the mythical battlefield and descended into this world. In just a few years, he turned a once prosperous kingdom into a wasteland. In the end, it was the divine beast Golden Crow who risked his life to successfully seal it, but now, we..."

Zhang Gu shook his head. “Once the demon god escapes, many people will die.”

"You are right, but this is an order issued by the Third Prince. He is the future master of this empire, and he has his own considerations for doing such a thing." Yu Qing replied calmly.

"I don't understand what kind of considerations would be based on such conditions." Zhang Gu looked at the fire in front of him, appearing a little stubborn.

"Perhaps it is a deal with a destructive power in Changshengtian, or perhaps it is a cover-up by using the turmoil caused by the demon god. Now the emperor has little time left, and the third prince must break through as soon as possible and have the power to suppress everything."

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "Otherwise, once the battlefield of gods and demons is lost, all lives will be destroyed."

"You mean..." Zhang Gu recalled some rumors about the Third Prince, and he said carefully, "We are sacrificing a small number of people to protect more people."

"You can understand it this way." Yu Qing nodded slightly, "If thinking this way makes you feel better."

"I..." Zhang Gu shook his head, obviously unable to accept such logic.

Just then—bang!

The magma lake transformed from the stone forest in front of him suddenly exploded.

A blood-colored tentacle covered with suction cups suddenly protruded, about the thickness of an adult's thigh, and brought with it a strong wind, so fast that it was blurry and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and stabbed towards Yu Qing's lower abdomen. This was extremely sharp, and there was no sign. At such a close distance, even some heavenly ghosts might not be able to react in time.

But Yu Qing was prepared in the morning. Dense golden runes appeared around her, engraved in the void, emitting light and extremely hot.

laugh!
There was a muffled sound.

The bloody tentacle was bounced away by the rune, and faint burn marks appeared on it.

The air was filled with a foul smell of barbecue, and the ground rumbled as if something was angry.

"It's incredible." Yu Qing's face lost its composure, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down, "After so many years, and without being able to escape, he can still show such strength. It seems that this demon god is much stronger than we expected at the beginning..."

"Hiss, the information given to us by Yiluansi might be wrong." Zhang Gu also realized that something was wrong and widened his eyes, "Is it intentional or accidental?"

"It doesn't matter. We have to leave quickly." Yu Qing urged with a determined look.

She brushed her long sleeves and pointed forward.

The various ancient inscriptions that appeared around him were like falling meteors, floating above the stone forest, emitting light. The movement calmed down for a while, Yu Qing turned around and left, Zhang Gu felt the vibration coming from deep in the ground, and was horrified. He did not dare to stay and hurriedly followed his master.

The two left one after the other, and not long after—boom!

There was a loud bang.

A column of black and red smoke shot up into the sky.

A smoke screen formed amidst the lightning and thunder, and a huge human face was faintly visible in it.

The wind was blowing coldly, and the twisted faces were filled with hatred and madness. It opened its mouth and roared, then exploded with a bang, turning into black mist and spreading outward at a high speed. The darkness, like a substance, began to spread and corrode the interior of the Dharma King Temple.

……

……

……

Thumping!
In Qimu Prefecture, a temporary residence of the Yiluansi.

The mottled shadows of the trees swayed, and a crow with black feathers and red eyes flapped its wings and flew in from the window. It landed on the shelf, lowered its head and used its black-gold beak to comb its feathers. A white hand untied a secret letter tied to the bird's leg and quickly read the contents.

"It seems that everything is going smoothly." Yiluansi Commander Jian Chuan showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Next, it's time to reap the rewards."

"It's time to tighten the net over in Jiangbeizhou. The best doctors treat illness before it occurs, while the middle-level doctors treat illness before it occurs. I, Jian Chuan, am not a top doctor, but I am more than qualified to be an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner." He seemed to be quite satisfied with his series of plans and couldn't help but brag about himself here.

He picked up the pen and quickly wrote a secret letter, then tied it to the crow's paw.

Then he stretched out his hand and pushed it forward.

Thumping!
The crow flapped its wings and turned into a black mist, quickly flying away and disappearing in the sunlight...
