Capítulo 1240: Chapter 53: Black Matter, Cricket Fighting (2)
Moreover, these beasts over ten levels and over level 20 stood almost no chance against the black substance, being slaughtered one-sidedly.
During the testing process, Xiao Jie made a new discovery: when two patches of sli of different sizes got close enough while pursuing their “prey,” they would attack and devour each other!
The two slis pounced at each other, quickly entangled, and fused into one. After a bout of rolling and twisting, they rged into a single, larger mass. It was hard to tell which devoured which, but ultimately, only a larger piece of black substance remained.
“If I use a summoned creature as bait to lure all these scattered slis to one place, would they devour each other, eventually forming a… coreless, pure ‘Demon Star Polyr’?” This thought suddenly popped into Xiao Jie’s mind, followed by a sense of dread. “Without the Demon Star Core to provide consciousness and control, this aggregate might beco a creature driven purely by instinctual devouring, which would be really troubleso.”
Fortunately, in the absence of any external stimuli, these black slis appeared extrely “lazy,” barely moving and rely spreading naturally at an extrely slow pace. They were like so kind of dormant fungi mat or primitive lichen, instinctively drawing weak energies from the surrounding space to maintain minimal activity.
For the mont, Xiao Jie truly couldn’t think of an effective way to utilize or handle these dangerous black substances.
“Oh, didn’t the Demon Star also drop a copy of the ‘Ten Thousand Demons Soul Casting Scroll’?” A flash of inspiration hit Xiao Jie. “If I can learn the profound Sorcery recorded within, perhaps I can find a way to control or comprehend these black substances. After all, both have the sa origin, maybe there’s a connection in their power systems.”
If he managed to control these eerie black substances, with their demonstrated characteristics of devouring, transformation, and defense, they would definitely beco a powerful weapon that combines both offense and defense.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie’s thoughts moved, and his spiritual light avatar dissipated instantly.
While in a ditative state, he slowly opened his eyes, exiting the deep ditation.
He couldn’t wait to take out the ancient and mysterious ‘Hundred Demons Soul Casting Scroll.’ The wooden slip felt slightly heavy and cool to the touch, and those densely moving demon scripts on it seed to contain endless mysteries.
At first glance, the texts appeared twisted and bizarre, belonging to no known language system, like a Heavenly Book.
But this did not deter Xiao Jie. Holding the wooden slip, he carefully gazed at the strange texts while imrsing his Spiritual Sense to perceive the hidden Demon Spirit remnant thoughts within the slip.
In an instant, countless Demon Race roars, howls, lants, and whispers resounded simultaneously in his ears, while countless images and scenes flashed swiftly in front of his eyes.
A mottled python opened its bloody maw, swallowing a deer much larger than itself in one gulp, yet its belly showed no sign of swelling.
[System prompt: Comprehended Demon Art — Snake Swallowing Skill.]
A gray eagle soared above the cloud sea, its sharp gaze penetrating the mist, precisely locking onto a hare sprinting rapidly on the ground.
[System prompt: Comprehended Demon Art — Eagle Eye Skill.]
A leopard crouched in the forest shadows, its aura lding perfectly with the surrounding environnt, creeping towards a goat feeding nearby, even at close range, the prey found it hard to detect its presence.
[System prompt: Comprehended Demon Art — Stealth.]
A spirit fox was cornered by a hunter wielding a hunting fork, seemingly on the brink of death, when suddenly a purple glow erged in its eyes, and the hunter stood in a trance as if enraptured and bewitched.
[System prompt: Comprehended Demon Art — Charming Technique.]
Countless images and insights surged into Xiao Jie’s Sea of Consciousness like a tide, and the crisp system prompts kept ringing in his ears one after another.
Finally, after about half an hour, Xiao Jie slowly put down the wooden slip in his hands, exhaling a long sigh of relief. In just this short period, he had comprehended hundreds of various Demon Techniques!
Unfortunately, most of the Demon Techniques, although fascinating in their own right, could only be considered a minor addition to the skill library for soone who has already reached the Immortal Position.
However, among them, there were indeed quite a few mid-to-high-level Demonic Arts that were powerful and practical, still holding considerable practical value.
Unfortunately, these Demon Techniques did not seem to directly help with controlling or understanding those black slis.
It could only be described as an all-encompassing ‘Demon Technique Encyclopedia,’ and with this thought, Xiao Jie sighed with slight disappointnt.
He stored away the wooden slip that had lost its luster and took out the Jade Scroll previously given by Su Zhiqing, which contained the ‘Thousand Miles Instant Movent Technique.’ “This life-saving and traveling Divine Skill should be learned as well, after all, it can’t hurt.”
This Jade Scroll was much easier to learn,
Xiao Jie pushed his Spiritual Sense into the Jade Scroll, finding inside a segnt of Su Zhiqing’s mory while creating this Spell. In a blink, Xiao Jie grasped the source power of the Skill, his face gradually showing a look of sudden realization.
So that’s how it is! The core principle of the Thousand Miles Instant Travel isn’t about forcibly breaking through space with one’s own Mana, but by recognizing and utilizing the naturally occurring ‘veins’ between heaven and earth!”
The Jade Scroll explained that in the vast universe, amid the myriad worlds, there existed countless naturally ford, microscopic cracks and passages that connected different spaces. So hung high above the nine days, ethereal and elusive, known as “Qi Veins,” so lay hidden in the rivers, lakes, and seas, in places abundant with the Water Elent, known as “Water Veins,” whereas others depended on the terrain and the convergence of earth’s energy, called “Earth Veins.”
