I loaded the innate divine power.

Library.

Shen Yi took out his ID card and registered.

This time, he went up to the third floor.

He had already seen the martial arts techniques on the fourth floor, but there were no superior sword techniques among them.

There are also many martial arts techniques on the third floor, but their grades are slightly lower.

Superior martial arts skills are not something that come easily to everyone.

You can see them anywhere.

Not all disciples practice superior martial arts.

After all, the more powerful a martial art is, the harder it is to master.

However, none of this affected him.

The more difficult it is, the better, indicating that it is powerful enough.

Although there are many superior martial arts techniques on the fourth floor, most of them are poison techniques.

There are also some rather unorthodox martial arts techniques.

His current contribution points are only enough for him to choose one superior martial art.

……

【Killing Demon Blade Slash: A superior-grade low-level martial art, it condenses one's own killing intent, allowing killing energy to enter the body, using killing to stop killing...】

"That swordsmanship is quite good..."

Shen Yi looked at the description of the Killing Demon Blade Slash on the bronze plaque.

This martial art belongs to an unorthodox and evil style, falling into the category of demonic arts.

Immense power!

Although it is only a low-grade superior martial art, its potential is terrifying.

Theoretically speaking, it could even surpass superior martial arts.

However, there is a side effect to cultivating the Killing Demon Blade Slash: one's spirit will be eroded by the killing intent.

It's easy to go astray and become possessed.

The deeper one cultivates, the greater one's bloodlust becomes. Without a strong mental will, one can easily be devoured by the bloodlust, which erodes one's spirit and turns one into a killing puppet.

Very strong, very abnormal!

He likes it very much!

"My mental fortitude should be fine. Hmm, this is the only martial art I need."

Looking at the Killing Demon Blade in his hand, Shen Yi quickly made up his mind.

Superior swordsmanship, and enormous potential.

We can keep pushing the limits!

There are side effects, but he's not afraid!

No matter how strong it is, can it compare to the murderous intent of demons?

It can suppress the murderous intent of supernatural arts, so the backlash from mere demonic arts is nothing to it.

……

"It's almost empty."

"The five thousand contribution points I worked so hard to earn are now completely gone."

Looking at the martial arts manual in his hand, Shen Yi sighed deeply.

The Killing Demon Blade Slash, although only a low-grade superior martial art, is priced much higher.

It requires a full thousand contribution points.

One thousand contribution points.

The price is even higher than the previous Crimson Flame Palm and Netherworld Shadow Step.

The price of superior martial arts techniques depends on the specific type of martial art.

The price is not fixed.

Some are high, some are low!

However, he felt it was alright to be able to exchange for a sword technique he liked.

If you run out of contribution points, you can earn more.

At worst, I'll just have to do a few more tasks.

Calming his mind and putting away his killing blade, Shen Yi then strode towards the Sacred Flame Peak.

……

"Why...why?"

"Holy Envoy, didn't you say before that you would take me as your disciple as soon as I broke through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm?"

"I've achieved it!"

"Why can't you accept me as your apprentice?"

Inside the Sacred Flame Hall on Sacred Flame Peak, Lei Bo looked at Bai Suzhen with a face full of despair.

I originally thought becoming an apprentice would be a natural progression!

But he never expected to be rejected.

Why can they accept Shen Yi as their disciple, but he can't become their apprentice?

Looking at Lei Bo's face filled with despair and resentment, Bai Suzhen said calmly, "You know the reason yourself. You're using supernatural techniques to break through this barrier. How long do you think you can hold out?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Bo's face turned deathly pale.

But when he thought of Shen Yi, hope rekindled in his eyes.

"Holy Envoy, Shen Yi also cultivates extraordinary arts. He can become an apprentice, so why can't I?"

"Are you questioning my decision?" Bai Suzhen's gaze was icy, and a chilling aura suddenly enveloped Lei Bo.

Instantly, Lei Bo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, as if a huge mountain had pressed down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Holy Envoy, this disciple has no doubt about your decision. However, this disciple also wishes to become your disciple. Please give this disciple a chance."

"Want a chance?" Bai Suzhen looked at him, her face expressionless.

Lei Bo nodded hastily, "As long as the Holy Envoy gives me a chance, this disciple will do my utmost!"

"Then I can give you a chance," Bai Suzhen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lei Bo was overjoyed.

But the next second, the expression on his face froze.

"If you can kill Shen Yi all by yourself, you will be the leader of Sacred Flame Peak."

"boom-!"

A seemingly casual remark struck Lei Bo like a thunderbolt.

Kill Shen Yi!?

Lei Bo stared blankly at Bai Suzhen, wondering if he had misheard.

"There can only be one disciple of Sacred Flame Peak. This opportunity is for you. If you can't do it within three days, you don't need to stay at Sacred Flame Peak anymore. Go back to where you came from."

Bai Suzhen spoke softly.

The words fell into Lei Bo's ears one by one.

Before Lei Bo could react, Bai Suzhen had already turned and left.

Only Lei Bo remained, standing there blankly.

Watching Bai Suzhen's departing figure.

Bai Suzhen's words were still echoing in his mind.

Kill Shen Yi!

There can only be one disciple of Sacred Flame Peak!

Shen Yi entered the Marrow Cleansing Realm earlier than him, and has now broken through to the mid-stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Although he didn't know exactly how strong Shen Yi was, cultivating extraordinary techniques could not be viewed with normal eyes.

Moreover, his cultivation level is a head higher than mine.

His chances of winning are very slim!

But if we give up, all those years of pursuit will be in vain.

Becoming Bai Suzhen's disciple not only means that one's status in the Fire Worshiping Cult surpasses that of ordinary Fire Lotus disciples.

What's even more remarkable is the true identity of this holy envoy.

Grab onto the thigh, and you'll be on your way to the top.

"Three days..."

Lei Bo lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and a ray of hope emerged.

"Got it!"

"If I can use this secret technique, I am not without a chance. At worst, I will have to pay a price. As long as I can become the chief disciple, it will all be worth it."

A glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

His gaze turned towards the outside of the hall, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"It was always mine; now, I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine."

"Three days should be enough."

Once the thought was made up, Lei Bo turned around and left the Holy Fire Temple.

……

Return to Sacred Flame Peak.

Shen Yi then returned to his villa in the mountains and waters and plunged into his quiet cultivation room.

Sitting cross-legged, Shen Yi took out a bottle of Fire Essence Pills.

He poured out a pill.

"Hmm, the quality is about the same."

After examining the pill, Shen Yi immediately swallowed the Fire Essence Pill.

Concentrate your mind, close your eyes, and in the chaotic mind, a three-legged golden crow spreads its wings and soars.

Strands of the Great Sun's Qi were continuously absorbed into his body, and at the same time, the medicinal power of the Fire Essence Pill was also being absorbed by him.

……

Time passes silently.

In the quiet room, Shen Yi remained motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation.

"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, a powerful aura burst forth from his body and spread outwards.

Ripples spread across the air.

A powerful aura enveloped the quiet room, and golden light lingered around the skin.

A surge of vital energy erupted from his body, sweeping over his limbs and bones like a flood.

"Click click click!!!"

The bones throughout his body emitted a series of sounds, and his flesh, tendons, and bones were all changing under the cleansing of the life essence.

His whole body radiated with the glow of blood and energy.

His whole being was like a blazing furnace, radiating powerful energy and vitality.

Every inch of my skin and bones is undergoing a transformation.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

It became blurry.

It felt like a night had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment had gone by.

After the intense life essence within his body subsided, Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Within his pupils, it seemed as if a flame was burning.

His body was filled with terrifying power.

His bones and muscles have grown stronger, and his internal energy has increased significantly.

He felt a surge of power within his flesh and blood, a power that seemed to tear everything apart.
