Shrouding the Sky: Creating Your Own Cultivation Technique at the Start

Chapter 135 The Demon Emperor's Heart

After Lu Zhao said those words, the brother and sister's expressions changed. They had learned a lot recently and naturally knew who the Azure Emperor was.

That's how I learned that Yan Ruyu was a descendant of the Green Emperor.

They also knew that this demon emperor had a very legendary background.

The birthplace of the Demon Emperor was like the birthplace of an ancient emperor to people like them, which instantly piqued their interest.

If they could enter the birthplace of the Great Emperor and see this magical place, it might be of great help to them both.

So in that instant, the two of them completely changed their minds.

"The Immortal Transformation Pool is the birthplace of my ancestors, so I definitely have to go there to see it," Yan Ruyu nodded without hesitation.

"I'm also planning to go to the Immortal Transformation Pool. Since we're going the same way, let's go together," Lu Zhao suggested.

"Alright, but before I go, I need to ask a few seniors to support me." Yan Ruyu nodded immediately.

"Ahem, fellow Daoists, we are also very interested in the Immortal Transformation Pool you mentioned. Would you mind taking my brother and me along? We'd like to go and have a look at it too," Huo Qizi said with a smile, cupping his fists in greeting to the two of them.

Huo Lin'er covered her face with one hand, feeling that she really couldn't look at herself now.

They were just about to take action, but their attitude changed instantly, leaving them speechless.

"Oh, you two are going too? But if you just go like this, people from outside will still recognize you," Lu Zhao said, shaking his head.

"These are minor matters. We can make a slight change and hide the horns on our heads, then no one will notice the difference," Fire Kirin laughed, while simultaneously using his abilities.

Then a flash of light appeared above his head, and the two small horns disappeared instantly.

His appearance has changed so much that he is now indistinguishable from a normal human being.

Huo Lin'er used the same method to hide the horn of her Qilin clan.

"Since you two are also going, let's head to the Southern Region first, meet with the seniors, and then travel together to the Central Region."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly and led the group to fly towards the Southern Region.

At their speed, it wouldn't take them long to fly to the Southern Region.

However, among them, Yan Ruyu's cultivation level is the lowest. She is still in the Dragon Transformation Realm and is far from stepping into the Immortal Platform Realm, so her progress is definitely much slower.

Flying there directly would take too much time.

"Alright, I have a teleportation array here. Let's teleport directly to the Southern Region," Lu Zhao said, activating a teleportation array platform.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and he opened a void passage.

Yunze Prefecture, as its name suggests, is a place full of vast marshes, with endless water mist obscuring the sky and earth, making it feel like a water town.

Half a day later, the four of them arrived at the Azure Dragon King's small world.

Yan Ruyu took out a jade pendant with a dragon carved on it. It was a blue dragon that looked very powerful.

The jade pendant emitted a green light, illuminating a high mountain in front of them. As a result, the scenery changed drastically, and the portal to a small world opened.

This small world is filled with majestic mountains, interconnected waterways, lush trees, and pervasive moisture. Eighty-one major rivers flow through it, and there are no fewer than dozens of lakes.

"This place is extraordinary. It must have been opened up by a sage. It seems that there are quite a few sages in this era as well." The Fire Kirin siblings exchanged a glance.

Their hearts were in turmoil, and they valued this era even more.

At the same time, he naturally valued Yan Ruyu even more, believing that Yan Ruyu's power was no less than that of the Fire Kirin Cave.

Soon the group was led into a grand hall, while Yan Ruyu left alone, clearly to meet the senior members of the demon race.

After waiting for half a day, Yan Ruyu finally returned to the main hall.

"I apologize, everyone. I was indeed negligent this time. My seniors have agreed to go to the Immortal Transformation Pool together. We can leave now." Yan Ruyu said, this time she was obviously more composed.

With those few people around, it's easy to activate the Imperial Weapon.

No matter what happens then, the demon race will have their own strength.

Soon, a group of young demons entered the hall. These demons were of different forms, but their cultivation levels were all very low.

Even the one with the highest cultivation level among these people has only just entered the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Even those at the lowest level are still lingering below the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

However, these people were very close to Yan Ruyu, laughing and joking like sisters, which was completely different from other forces.

Especially the siblings from Huolin Cave, they had never received such treatment before.

Their people showed them only boundless respect and obedience when facing princes and princesses; they never dared to fight or make a scene with them.

This gave the brother and sister a different perspective.

But now, it seems they no longer have the opportunity to be so close to their people.

Even if they really let go, those tribesmen wouldn't have the guts.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I feel that you are very compatible with my temperament. I consider you my friend today. If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you." Huo Qizi clasped his hands, trying to get closer to the two.

At this moment, Lu Zhao looked at Huo Qizi and really wanted to punch him in the face a few times.

In his view, this guy is very hypocritical now. He was planning to take action in secret before, but now he wants to make friends.

When he becomes powerful in the future, I will definitely give him a loving lesson.

"Why aren't you saying anything, fellow Daoist? Have we, your siblings, wronged you in some way?" Huo Lin'er also spoke up, her smile incredibly sweet.

"Both of them are heartless. When I become powerful in the future, I will definitely beat the woman a hundred times and the man into a pig-headed monster." Lu Zhao clenched his fists secretly.

Lu Zhaoqiang forced a smile and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two men.

After playing with the fairies for a while, Yan Ruyu sent them away.

"Princess, something terrible has happened! The Emperor's heart is pounding uncontrollably; the recent fluctuations are extremely violent." Several people suddenly rushed over to report.

These are some young cultivators, all of them young people from the demon race.

"What's going on?" Yan Ruyu immediately walked out of the main hall.

"Fellow Daoist, do you need any help?" Huo Qizi immediately stood up.

"That won't be necessary. Please wait for me a moment." Yan Ruyu clasped her hands slightly and then quickly walked out of the main hall.

Lu Zhao also quietly extended his divine sense to find out what had happened.

Soon Yan Ruyu arrived at a special green pool. At this moment, the waves were raging, and the endless pool water seemed to be rolling up to the sky.

In the center of the green pool, nine golden carp, each several meters long, dragged a crystal coffin, giving one a sense of boundless vitality, like a vast ocean rippling.

The entire crystal coffin is two meters long and one meter wide. The entire coffin is crystal clear and shimmers with seven colors under the sunlight, making it truly extraordinary.

It has a heart the size of a fist, the whole heart is bright red and dripping, like a lump of red jade essence, and the powerful vitality comes from it.

It was sealed here, giving people a sense of unease, and the crystal coffin was made to look bright red, with an extremely dazzling crimson light.

It was the fluctuations emanating from the heart that caused the ripples to erupt in this emerald pool.

When Yan Ruyu arrived, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

This is extremely rare. After all, the Emperor's heart is just an inanimate object. How could this happen, as if it had come to life?

"Could it be that this heart hasn't received enough nourishment before, and needs to find someone willing to nourish it?" Yan Ruyu pondered seriously.

This can be considered a stroke of luck for her, allowing her heart to be nourished to its fullest potential.

That would become her opportunity, allowing her to refine the blood in her heart, enhance her own bloodline, and make her even stronger.

"That Fellow Daoist Lu is very powerful, but his physique seems to be mortal. I wonder if his physique is effective in nourishing the heart. However, I feel we can give it a try first," Yan Ruyu said after thinking for a long time.

As for Huo Lin'er and her brother, she immediately excluded them.

She sensed a slight danger because of the actions of the brother and sister.

Especially with such a heart, giving it to those brother and sister would be like throwing good money after bad, so it absolutely cannot be given to them.

As for the other members of the demon race, they don't have any special physical constitutions at all.

The power of bloodline is not strong, so it would be of little use to nourish this heart. It seems that Lu Zhao is the only one who can do it now.

"We have no choice but to ask Fellow Daoist Lu for help," Yan Ruyu quickly decided.

Just moments later, Lu Zhao was invited here by Yan Ruyu.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have a favor to ask. This is the heart of my ancestor, which needs external nourishment. I wonder if you would be interested?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"If this were two years ago, I would have taken the initiative to cooperate with you, because at that time, we really needed something like this. But now, it doesn't seem to be of much help to me." Lu Zhao felt quite helpless.

Fate is fickle. If Lu Zhao had come two years ago, Yan Ruyu would definitely not have agreed, because he was very weak at that time.

Compared to the young people of the demon race, he really had no outstanding qualities.

But now, everything seems to have changed. Yan Ruyu took the initiative to invite him to cooperate and nourish this heart.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't rush to refuse. This heart contains the essence of our ancestors. If you can obtain even a trace of it, it will greatly enhance your own abilities," Yan Ruyu said.

At this point, she had no other choice but to ask Lu Zhao for help.

"Fellow Daoist is a descendant of the Azure Emperor. I think your own methods of nourishing your heart will be more effective than others, right?" Lu Zhao asked.

This question remains puzzling, both when reading the original work and now: why did they do it this way?

"Actually, fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but when I first obtained this heart, I tried to nurture it within my own body. However, a power is born within this heart, and when it vibrates, it absorbs my bloodline," Yan Ruyu said.

"If that's the case, then why are you still nurturing him?" Lu Zhao continued to ask, feeling that he was very close to the truth.

"Because I want to obtain the essence blood within to enhance the strength of my bloodline, but I cannot nourish my heart myself. I can only rely on others to obtain the essence blood from the heart and then share it with me," Yan Ruyu explained.

"In other words, after I chose this heart, I will share my essence with you." Lu Zhao nodded gently.

"Indeed, it is as you have thought, fellow Daoist," Yan Ruyu said calmly.

Why are you so fixated on the essence and blood in this heart? Do you think you are inferior to others without that essence and blood?

""

"Indeed, fellow Daoist should have seen it as well. Compared to that brother and sister, the gap between me is indeed very large. Only in this way can I make up for it."

Even if you become like them, you won't be the strongest. Relying on external things to improve yourself will ultimately lead you to the bottom.

"I know what you're going to say, but people like you are extremely rare. You surpass everyone else on your own, you're as rare as phoenix feathers."

"What you lack is a heart that surpasses everyone else. Perhaps that heart wants to drain your blood, to make you give up all of this and truly become strong on your own."
