I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 73: The Jade Slip’s Information

After Zhou Feng received the jade slip, he didn’t stay in the back mountain for too long. He returned to his room and began to read the information on the jade slip.

“This… It seems I need to use my soul power to read the information inside!”

He had some understanding of jade slips like this.

This thing was especially used to store some important information.

Moreover, only cultivators above the Soul Altar realm could read it because this required the help of soul power.

Zhou Feng placed the jade slip on his forehead and circulated his soul power.

This jade slip that contained the Bitter Bamboo Peak’s inheritance began to shine slightly. After that, a large amount of information poured into his mind like a torrent.

“This is the Demon-Devouring Technique? As expected, it’s only a part of the Soul Altar cultivation technique! There’s nothing in the later stages!”

First of all, he came into contact with the follow-up cultivation of the Demon-Devouring Technique.

The true power of the Demon-Devouring Technique only started at the Soul Altar realm!

The previous Demon-Devouring Technique could only be considered as the foundation establishment stage, and there were almost no special highlights.

But from the Soul Altar realm onward, the Demon-Devouring Technique had a new ability.

This ability enabled the practitioner to devour other people to replenish themselves, especially those with special physiques.

After using the Demon-Devouring Technique to devour people with special physiques, then the main body would also have a high probability of obtaining this special physique.

Apart from this, the Demon-Devouring Technique could also devour all kinds of Spiritual Qi and spiritual items for its own use.

This was extremely compatible with the name of the Demon-Devouring Technique. The entire process depended on the word ‘devour’.

What was worth mentioning was that the Demon-Devouring Technique could not be used directly.

Instead, it needed to leave a mark on the target and wait for the mark to slowly assimilate the target.

Only then could the Demon-Devouring Technique be used!

‘Demon-Devouring Seal? Then the mark on my body…’

Zhou Feng instantly thought of Old Demon Gu’s mark on his body.

Wasn’t this the damn Demon-Devouring Seal!?

Didn’t this mean that he had already become Old Demon Gu’s target?

‘Still too slow! Why have I only just broken through to the Soul Altar realm?’

Zhou Feng once again felt that his cultivation speed was not fast enough.

He had clearly chosen the riskiest path of cultivation, but he still felt that it was not fast enough.

If the other inner disciples heard Zhou Feng’s words, they would definitely curse.

Wasn’t this fast enough? It seemed like less than a year had passed since Zhou Feng officially cultivated to the Soul Altar realm!

Such a speed was already astounding, but no one had noticed it all along. Or it could be said that because he was on Bitter Bamboo Peak, Zhou Feng’s cultivation had always been neglected.

But if one were to be serious, Zhou Feng’s cultivation speed was definitely not slow. To a certain extent, it could even be compared to some freaks.

Although the price for this was a body full of hidden injuries while the future path of cultivation would be even bumpier, the Demon-Devouring Technique itself was a Demonic Path cultivation technique that took the unconventional path of the sword. Its advancement was fast, but the risk was also terrifying.

Regarding the disadvantages of the Demon-Devouring Technique, the jade slip also recorded it.

Every time one engaged in the Demon-Devouring Technique, it was a kind of pollution to oneself.

Especially the pollution during the soul stage because the Demon-Devouring Technique was not without side effects.

Before the Soul Altar realm, Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi could become mottled.

But after the Soul Altar realm, one would take some of the target’s will into their body every time they devoured someone.

In the beginning, it might not have any effect, but later on, one’s personality, will, and thoughts would gradually be distorted.

In the end, the practitioner would no longer be themselves, but a new ‘person’ made of all kinds of wills.

To put it bluntly, it was very easy for one’s mind to split, and there would be more than ten personalities at the same time.

These personalities were all created from devouring one’s demons.

For example, Old Demon Gu, who had been a mature woman when she brought Zhou Feng back to the Tri-Gu Sect, became a middle-aged uncle at the back of the mountain.

Not only did his will change, but even his body, voice, and organs had changed.

‘In the beginning, it’s a great path to heaven, but it becomes a narrow path as one progresses?’

Zhou Feng once again experienced the dangers of the demonic cultivation method.

Indeed! This demonic cultivation method progressed fast enough, and every time it devoured one’s demons, it was a huge improvement. It could even ignore bottlenecks and break through.

But later on, it was too difficult.

The most important issue was that there was no turning back.

As long as one cultivated the Demon-Devouring Technique, switching to other cultivation techniques was impossible. They could only walk this path to the end.

The jade slip contained the most important information about the Demon-Devouring Technique. After all, this was Bitter Bamboo Peak’s inheritance method.

It also contained some common knowledge of the cultivation world, as well as the methods of pill refinement, tool refinement, and even the Dao of Formations.

‘Nine changes of the Soul Altar realm! Activate the innate divine ability?’

Zhou Feng looked at the introduction of the Soul Altar realm.

The Soul Altar realm was divided into nine grades, also known as the nine changes of the Soul Altar realm.

Every time one broke through in the Soul Altar realm, there would be a mutation. The soul would also undergo a transformation.

After the nine mutations of the Soul Altar realm, one could attempt to condense the soul because the soul power would already be strong enough.

One could already condense the soul, and after condensing the soul, one could open up the Purple Mansion. Once the Purple Mansion appeared, they would be able to open up the hidden treasure within their body.

This so-called treasure was called an innate divine ability. Everyone would be able to obtain it, and everyone’s innate divine ability would be different.

The difference in talent would begin to be completely revealed at this stage.

Some people’s innate divine abilities were powerful. For example, their strength would receive a tenfold increase. Such an innate divine ability would definitely be able to crush others.

However, some people’s innate divine abilities were extremely ordinary, and they could even be said to be completely useless.

In this way, the gap between ordinary people and geniuses was unimaginably large.

Moreover, this was also the beginning of one’s cultivation path. This was because some experts’ bloodlines were likely to stimulate their bloodlines when they activated their innate divine abilities.

Once their bloodlines were stimulated, there was a 90% chance that the innate divine abilities they obtained would be the same as their parents.

Sometimes, an entire clan’s innate ability would be the same.

There were too many pieces of information in the jade slip, so Zhou Feng could not finish reading it. He could only choose to read what he urgently needed to understand.

‘I found it! The method to refine the Vital Gu! And the method to nurture the soul artifact!’

After skimming through the previous information, he finally found the information he wanted to understand.

The first was the refinement method of the Vital Gu.

One had to know that up until now, the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body had not acknowledged him as its master. It could break out of his body at any time and place due to other factors, which made Zhou Feng feel extremely insecure.

After breaking through to the Soul Altar realm, the first thing to do was naturally to refine the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body into the Vital Gu.

After that, he had to get a soul artifact and place it on the Soul Altar to slowly nurture it.

At that time, he would also have a soul artifact to use in battle and not be as empty-handed as he was now.

Also, Zhou Feng could start refining Gu! After reaching the Soul Altar realm, he would also have the capital to refine Gu!
