In the depths of the mountain range!
Seeing the increasingly excited Yu Haoran, the Thaling in the Víctor could not help but feel nervous.
Just as Wu Zhengjun had said, there was no good or bad cultivation technique. The key was the person who used the cultivation technique.
The reason why the Tianxuan Continent was divided into righteous and demonic was not because of how evil the cultivation techniques practiced by demonic cultivators were, nor was it because of how evil their natures were.
Instead, it was because they could not control the temptation of power brought about by the cultivation technique, and thus did some bad things that went against the morals of the world.
At the same time, the Thaling understood that the Devouring the Heavens and Earth Technique could be said to be the number one demonic cultivation technique in the world. The temptation of power brought about by the demonic cultivation technique was even stronger.
If one was unable to control the desire for power in their heart the first time they used the Devouring Secret Technique, then they would completely fall into the demonic path.
Although the demonic path was also a type of martial path, and one could eventually reach the peak of the martial path, the Thaling still hoped that Yu Haoran could control the desires in his heart and walk the righteous path in an upright manner.
The constant desire for power in his heart made Yu Haoran want nothing more than to immediately enter the stone forest and devour those living strange beasts.
However, just as he was about to move, two thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, causing him to forcefully stop his impulse to move.
One thought was to devour everything in the world as he pleased!
The other thought was to steadily increase his strength, one step at a time!
At this moment, the mental state of a peak Martial King played a crucial role. His firm belief finally defeated his desire to do as he pleased, and his originally fanatical gaze gradually regained its clarity.
"Yu Haoran, you've overcome the temptation of the Devouring the Heavens and Earth Technique. Your mental state cultivation is about to break through to the Martial Saint realm." Just as Yu Haoran's gaze regained its clarity, the Thaling in the Víctor could not help but heave a sigh of relief and praise him.
"Sigh!" Yu Haoran did not feel the slightest bit of joy in the face of Thaling's praise. After a long sigh, he could not help but speak with a palpitating heart.
"Thaling, I finally understand why those demonic cultivators are so crazy. It's mainly because the temptation of this secret technique is too great."
"If my mental state hadn't reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, and if I hadn't been prepared beforehand, I probably wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation of the Secret Devouring Technique, and would have fallen into the demonic path."
"You're right!" The Pagoda Spirit agreed with Yu Haoran's sentiments.
"The reason why the Devouring the Heavens and Devouring the Earth Technique, the number one demonic technique in the world, was lost is mainly because very few people can resist the temptation of power brought about by this technique. In the end, they become great devils who commit all kinds of evil and devour everything."
At this point, Thaling solemnly exhorted, "Yu Haoran, I hope you won't teach the improved version of the Devouring Technique that I taught you, except for Wu Zhengjun."
"After all, those people don't have the mental state of a peak Martial Emperor like you did in your previous life. They definitely won't be able to resist the temptation of power. In the end, it will bring chaos to the entire continent."
"Thaling, don't worry, I definitely won't teach the Devouring Technique to anyone else."
At this point, Yu Haoran's expression could not help but change. He then turned around and rushed out of the stone forest.
"Yu Haoran, where are you going?" Seeing Yu Haoran mysteriously turn around and leave the stone forest, Thaling asked in confusion.
"Thaling, even if I had the mental state of a peak Martial Emperor, I still almost couldn't resist the temptation of power. Then Wu Zhengjun, who is only a Grade 1 Martial Warrior, definitely couldn't resist the temptation of power. I'm worried that he has already fallen into the demonic path." Yu Haoran explained as he used Gale Steps to leave the stone forest.
"Wait!" After hearing the reason Yu Haoran turned around and left, Thaling hurriedly stopped him.
Without stopping because of Thaling's stop, Yu Haoran left the stone forest and headed in the direction that Wu Zhengjun had just left.
"Yu Haoran, the Secret Devouring Technique was personally improved by me. I understand the temptation of the Secret Devouring Technique very well. Since that's the case, why should I let you teach it to Wu Zhengjun?" Thaling asked in return.
Hearing Thaling's question, Yu Haoran stopped in his tracks and could not help but ponder deeply.
"Yu Haoran, I remember telling you before that Wu Zhengjun's Bloodthirsty Physique can be upgraded to a more powerful Devouring Physique."
"And the final form of the Devouring Physique is actually the same as the Secret Devouring Technique. As long as it contains energy, there is nothing that it cannot devour."
Seeing Yu Haoran fall into deep thought, Thaling knew that if he did not understand the origin of the Secret Devouring Technique, he would not be able to understand its implications.
"The creator of the Devouring the Heavens and Earth Devouring Technique is called the Blood Demon. He was an almighty demonic cultivator in ancient times."
"The reason why he was able to create the number one demonic cultivation method, in addition to his amazing perception, was because he was also a person who had evolved the Bloodthirsty Physique from the Bloodthirsty Physique."
Speaking to this point, Thaling's gaze went past Víctor, past his Knowledge Sea, and looked at Wu Zhengjun, who was devouring the flesh of a mutated beast not far away. Furthermore, his cultivation was already at the mid first grade Martial Warrior.
"Thaling, what you mean is that Wu Zhengjun is actually the most suitable person to cultivate the Secret Devouring Technique. Or perhaps Wu Zhengjun has already inherited the Blood Demon's mantle through your hands."
The Blood Demon who created the Devouring the Heavens and Earth Devouring Technique was not only an almighty demonic cultivator in ancient times, but also a Bloodthirsty Physique like Wu Zhengjun.
In that case, wouldn't Wu Zhengjun, who cultivated the Secret Devouring Technique, have simply inherited the Blood Demon's cultivation method?
"You can say that!" Thaling acknowledged Yu Haoran's speculation.
"With the help of the simplified Secret Devouring Technique, if Wu Zhengjun can evolve the Bloodthirsty Physique, then I will pass on the true Devouring the Heavens and Earth Devouring Technique to him."
"With the complete Devouring the Heavens and Earth Devouring Technique, Wu Zhengjun will surely become your most capable right-hand man in the future."
Although Thaling's explanation was very reasonable, and Yu Haoran also believed that the Secret Devouring Technique wouldn't bring any side effects to Wu Zhengjun, he still couldn't be at ease if he didn't take a look for himself.
As such, he still used Gale Steps to find Wu Zhengjun, and discovered that he was devouring and refining a tenth-tier third-tier exotic beast.
Seeing Wu Zhengjun's aura stable and unaffected by the Secret Devouring Technique, Yu Haoran finally let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and returned to the stone forest.
In the following period of time, Yu Haoran didn't devour all the exotic beasts in a frenzy. Instead, he focused on those exotic beasts with king-level bloodlines under the guidance of Thaling's Divine Sense.
As he devoured the flesh and blood of exotic beasts with king-level bloodlines, not only did his cultivation rise rapidly, his physical body's grade rose even faster.
At the same time, he also began to consciously collect some of the more precious spiritual herbs that had been around for a long time.
After all, in the Tianxuan Continent, the Secret Devouring Technique was a demonic cultivation method, and it was explicitly forbidden to cultivate it.
His cultivation was fine when he was alone on a mountain peak, but when he was in a sect or outside to train, it was best to use medicinal pills to raise his cultivation.
Moreover, the energy converted from the Secret Devouring Technique was too singular. It wasn't as effective as using medicinal pills specifically targeted at it.
