"This old demon really can’t take a hit!"
Zhou Yi showed little pride, as the Heartless Demon Lord had only survived this long by relying on his strangely formidable divine abilities.
In his six thousand years of cultivation, he hardly had any weaknesses.
He was particularly skilled in escape skills, mastering many profound divine abilities so that even his most common mana, physique, and divine soul would be considered extraordinary if they belonged to any other Nascent Soul Daoist.
As for magic artifacts, there’s no need to ntion—using the pseudo spirit tools of the nd Heaven inheritance was enough, and Zhou Yi already had more spiritual treasures than he could use.
"I’ve reached this realm today through my diligent cultivation!"
What peerless prodigies, what exceptional demon heads, there’s no need to fight them directly. Simply avoid their sharp edges for a few hundred or a thousand years, then collect their magic artifacts, divine abilities, and heritage, and by the way, take advantage of bullying the younger generation for revenge.
Live for tens of millions of years, and even a pig can beco immortal!
"Why does that sound a bit awkward?"
Zhou Yi’s divine sense probed into the golden bell, where several objects floated—a Daoist robe, magic artifacts, a storage magic artifact, and so on—remnants left behind after the Artifact Spirit of the Yellow Dragon had devoured spirits and souls.
A couple of the magic artifacts had ordinary power, and other spiritual objects and elixirs were not significant enough to catch his eye.
"Only that life-saving witchcraft secret technique suits quite well; refining a hundred and eighty hearts, hiding them in the Dongsheng Divine Continent, the Nine Continents, and Kunlun Cave Heaven. Not even a returning void immortal can do anything about it!"
Zhou Yi took out the storage magic artifact and retrieved all the jade slip scriptures, only to find that, upon scanning with his divine sense, there were no records.
Cultivators who pondered over cultivation techniques would usually leave records, for their own reference in later years, or for passing on to their disciples.
"What is this…"
Zhou Yi slightly furrowed his brows, as a familiar pitch-black carving appeared in his hand.
The base was carved into the shape of a lotus platform, and standing atop it was a ghastly deity with three heads and six arms, with a fierce and terrifying green face and sharp fangs. All six arms were held at the empty chest cavity, which upon closer inspection, was precisely missing a heart.
"Ancient witchcraft!"
Zhou Yi pulled out the Ghost Deity Statue from his sleeve, with its four faces and eight arms vividly detailed, looking life-like as if it had jumped off the altar.
Comparing the two statues, the forr seed crudely made, but actually, the latter had also been the sa. It was just that it had devoured too much longevity and underwent a profound and unpredictable change. Enjoy more content from empire
As mana was sent into the three-headed, six-ard deity statue, no ssage ca through, but when Zhou Yi withdrew his mana, he noticed sothing unusual.
"Why is there a strand missing?"
Zhou Yi pondered for a mont and then activated the deity statue with mana once more, seeing a faint light erge from the empty chest as if sothing was growing there.
After a long while.
He had spent a substantial amount of mana, about equivalent to half a year’s worth of arduous cultivation, and a phantom heart had ford in the chest of the statue.
It throbbed steadily, as if it were alive!
At that mont, the statue transmitted a ssage, and after Zhou Yi carefully reviewed it, his face lit up with joy.
"So this witchcraft secret technique is called the Distraction Curse. By infusing essence, qi, and spirit into the statue and spending a hundred years of cultivation, one can refine an exotic heart. Then, by integrating witchcraft curse technique into it, it will have a profound connection with the original being!"
"If the original being faces calamity and perishes, the exotic heart will co into effect, nurturing a new soul with the essence, qi, and spirit."
"However, the flaw of this secret technique is also enormous. The essence, qi, and spirit invested in the heart are truly lost, and it would take years and years to cultivate back!"
"No wonder the Heartless Demon Lord is such a weakling, cultivating for hundreds of years, yet his mana still remains at the initial stage of Nascent Soul!"
"The witchcraft curse techniques are unpredictable and strange. However, their path differs greatly from that of the Immortal Dao, leaning more towards sacrifice and exchange. Whether it’s the Netherworld Curse or the Distraction Curse, once cultivated, a lot is lost, but it doesn’t affect much."
The pursuit of immortality through the Distraction Curse didn’t have much effect on Zhou Yi.
With endless life, the lost mana could eventually be cultivated back, not affecting the breakthrough in the realm in the slightest.
Back in the day, trapped at the peak of Golden Core for thousands of years, he could have refined hundreds of exotic hearts, placed them all over the world, and no longer feared death or Dao extinction!
"This technique may seem profound, but in reality, it’s quite a pointless luxury. For those undergoing Divinity Transformation or returning void, it’s just a nuisance to utterly destroy them. In the Cultivation World, there’s no shortage of divination techniques; no matter how secretly the Heartless Demon Lord hides his heart, it can’t escape the probing of the heavens!"
"When refining, it’s a complete waste of a hundred years of essence, qi, and spirit. One’s strength falls, and there’s no real assurance of immortality!"
"I, however, am different. Even if soone calculates where my heart is, could they possibly cross the continent? With the endless seas in between, not even returning void immortals would dare to easily cross it, so it’s truly safe and worry-free!"
"I’ll start by refining three hearts, storing them in Kunlun Cave Heaven, Heavenly Mountain, and the Cut Heaven Blessed Land, increasing safety a hundredfold."
Zhou Yi was pleased, put away the statue, and flew towards Coiling Cloud Mountain as a multicolored escape light.
There were still many demons and monsters on the mountain that needed to be dealt with cleanly by spells, and soon the relatives of the nd Heaven Sect would co to take charge.
With the successive acquisition of three territories, a production line operation had been ford, and the speed was much faster than back in the Qingyun Mountain days. Here, they were slaying demons and exterminating devils, while the cultivators serving as Mountain Gods and River Lords were already on their way.
If there were not enough clan mbers in the future, then disciples of the sect could be dispatched, or even friends on the sa path.
In the Dongsheng Divine Continent, there’s never a shortage of cultivators who want to be officials. As long as they follow the rules of the nd Heaven Teachings, no one cares about their little sches behind the scenes!
Zhou Yi stood in the air, overlooking the mountain range below.
Facing east, he exhaled, and his divine wind swept away all evils, scattering their souls.
Facing west, he waved his sleeve, and thunder roared, smashing the demons to smithereens.
"Only with such magic divine abilities does one have a bit of an immortal’s air!"
A Nascent Soul Daoist bullying those at the Golden Core or Foundation Establishnt stage, with every movent and spellcast striking like a natural disaster, Zhou Yi easily cleaned up without much effort and flew toward the Heartless Demon Lord’s cave dwelling.
