Although Zhang Yan had killed Lu Ge, he had always been careful and didn't want to make any mistakes. Not only did he personally search Lu Ge's body, he also went to various places to look for the magic weapons that Lu Ge had left behind. With his memory, he naturally didn't miss any of them. He only stopped when he was sure that Lu Ge could no longer be in this world.
However, after returning to the Demon Treasury, he still had a question in his mind. He walked around the first floor of the Demon Treasury and suddenly looked up.
He saw that there was a palm-sized jade disc in the middle of the ceiling. It was engraved with densely packed characters. After looking at it for a while, he found that the content of the jade disc was exactly the same as the description on the jade slip.
With a thought, a sword light flew up and slashed. There was a "dang" sound, but the jade pendant was still as smooth as before. There wasn't even a mark left on it.
He had a look of understanding on his face as he nodded and said, "I see."
He originally thought that according to the thoughts of people like Lu Ge, once he obtained this technique, he would definitely think of a way to destroy it after memorizing it. Why would he leave it here?
Now it seemed that the technique was carved here and couldn't be destroyed. It would be a waste of effort to tamper with it.
This Demon Treasury was an item of inheritance, so it was reasonable for it to have such an arrangement.
Zhang Yan slowly retracted his gaze and let go of his thoughts. This way, he could cultivate this technique with peace of mind.
No one knew where the true origin of this technique came from. Whether it was the original book or the jade scroll, they were both vague and vague. With just a few strokes, it was only called "Enlightened Path Comprehending Divine Contract". It was a technique to achieve strength. Once this technique was completed. One's body was harder than metal and even divine weapons couldn't hurt it.
However, this technique only involved the first three stages, which corresponded to the Enlightened Qi, Mystic Light, and Core Transformation realms.
In order to cultivate this technique, one had to first refine the "Nine Absorption Demon Scroll" hidden here.
After taking this magic treasure for one's own use, when facing an enemy. If the opponent lost the ability to resist, he only needed to suck in the essence, qi, and spirit of the opponent.
From then on, every time he killed a person, the magic slip would spit out a small amount of Essence Qi to feed back to its owner. With this strand of pure Essence Qi circulating within his body, he would be able to continue cultivating this technique.
The more cultivators it killed, the more powerful the Devil Slip would be, and the more Essence Qi it would absorb.
Zhang Yan sighed in his heart. The killing intent of this technique was extremely heavy. As expected of the secret teachings of the Devil Sect, the warning on the stone tablet about the impending calamity was not without reason.
However, although this method was cruel, he had a reason to practice it.
When a cultivator who achieved the Dao with Qi condensed his Dan, one of the three medicines mentioned above was called 'Leakless Wind'.
The wind came and went without a trace. When a cultivator condensed a pill, it was born from within the pill. If the cultivator failed to hide it, the grade of the pill would drop by a level.
However, the body of a cultivator of the Qi Dao was not strong, and their acupoints were not closed. Once the wind came out, it would mostly leak out from the acupoints and pores. No matter how good one's Xuan technique was, no matter how good one's talent was, there was nothing they could do. Only a cultivator who had a great opportunity could lock it in.
Zhang Yan was not willing to place his hopes on such an illusory opportunity. Thus, he secretly thought that as long as he cultivated this "Enlightened Dao to Divinity Contract", he would only need to reach the second stage. His entire body would be like one piece, and he would be able to protect the wind from leaking out.
Just this benefit alone made it impossible for him to give up on this technique.
Zhang Yan thought for a bit. He did not find the "Nine Absorption Demon Scroll" on Lu Ge's body earlier, so it should still be in this demon treasury. If it wasn't on the first floor, then he could only go up and search.
A wisp of smoke rose from his feet and slowly carried him from the entrance of the stairs to the second floor.
There were banners hung on all four sides, pearls were embedded in the walls, and the floor was covered in colored glass. Looking at it, it was shining brightly like a mirror. In the middle was a cauldron of three beasts hugging a pill. The cauldron lid was thrown to the side, and wisps of nether qi rose from the cauldron. In the air, there was a demon scroll that was a foot long and was surrounded by black fiendish qi.
Zhang Yan thought to himself, "This must be the Nine Absorption Demon Subduing Slip."
He raised his hand and pointed, injecting a strand of spiritual qi into it. The jade scroll trembled, and a thought was immediately transmitted over.
He analyzed it for a bit and found out that this was a strand of Lu Ge's remnant obsession. With just a touch, he saw Lu Ge's thoughts when he was refining this demon scroll.
This demon scroll originally had thirty-three restrictions. Lu Ge had refined it for thirty-two years, watering it with the nether qi of the lower three floors of the Styx every day. There was still one more restriction that he had yet to unlock.
But for some reason, even though he could use it roughly, he still could not remove it from the cauldron. He thought that it was because his luck had not come yet. But at this moment, he could not wait to practice this technique, so he could only think of something else.
According to the jade scroll, the "Enlightened Way Comprehending Divine Contract" was the best for stealing the essence of demonic cultivators.
Even though there were no demonic cultivators here, there was the Agarwood sect. That was why Lu Ge did not hesitate to spread some of the shallow techniques in the demon treasury, hoping to trick a few disciples of the Agarwood sect into coming here so that he could take them as his seeds.
At first, the Agarwood sect had a Core Transformation cultivator in charge, so he was still careful. Even if no one came, he did not dare to act rashly. Later, the previous leader, Red Flower Fairy, was plotted against by him, and died after returning.
At this time, he became bolder, intending to make the entire Agarwood sect practice demonic techniques. When these people reached perfection, he would bring them all here, and use the "Nine Absorption Demon Scroll" to absorb their essence, qi, and spirit, to help him practice this technique.
These thoughts flashed through Zhang Yan's mind, but he shook his head. This Lu Ge was too stingy. Although he didn't know exactly how much essence the jade slip could produce, it definitely couldn't be too much. Otherwise, the stone tablet on the first level wouldn't be called "Tribulation".
There were so many demonic cultivators in the world, but they did not dare to go out to search, and only stared at the mere few hundred people of the Agarwood sect. What use could they be?
Presumably, the sword of the Shaoqing sect disciple not only severed his dao foundation, but also broke the spirit in his heart.
Zhang Yan looked at the magic scroll a few times, his eyes flashing. Since the Demon Trove had fallen into his hands, how could it be confined to this corner of the world?
Thinking of this, he faintly snorted, and with a wave of his hand, that trace of Lu Ge's remaining essence was dissolved. Then he raised his hand and pointed. A sharp spiritual light brought his thoughts into the magic scroll.
As if it felt his thoughts, the magic scroll suddenly buzzed and vibrated. The nether energy in the furnace below also surged and surged, gathering into the scroll.
Not long after, the nether energy in the furnace was sucked clean. But the magic scroll seemed to think that it was not enough, and kept vibrating in the air, sucking in more nether energy from outside the Demon Trove.
But the water of the River Styx had long been refined by Zhang Yan. Once the water was gone, the nether energy also began to dissipate. Now that there was only a little left, how could it withstand such a devouring?
Seeing this, Zhang Yan smiled, "Fine, I'll lend you a hand today. Zhang Ju, come out."
Mountain River Child responded, and Zhang Yan pointed, "Give it all the nether energy you've absorbed, no need to be stingy."
Mountain River Child immediately responded. He slowly poured out the nether energy that had been absorbed from the Mountain River Diagram for a year.
Suddenly receiving nourishment from the nether energy, the demonic slip seemed to be extremely excited. It let out a strange whistling sound, no matter how much nether energy it absorbed. It was as if it had turned into an endless abyss, sucking in all of it.
After about an hour, a melodious heavenly sound rang out, and the black energy around the magic scroll dissipated, revealing its original appearance. It had a jade-like luster. It was as smooth as white fat, and immortal energy lingered around it. The top and bottom were decorated with gold and silver. Not only was there no demonic energy, but it looked very good. Anyone who saw it would say that it was an immortal's treasure.
Zhang Yan raised his hand. The magic scroll did not resist, and fell into his palm.
He probed it with his mind, and felt that there was a stark contrast between the inside and outside of the magic scroll. There was a monstrous killing intent coming from the depths of the magic scroll, and it kept drilling into his mind, as if it wanted to drive him to kill, to kill all the cultivators in the world.
Zhang Yan smiled, and with a thought, he suppressed this bloodlust. He had already made up his mind on how to cultivate this technique, and when to cultivate it. How could he allow himself to be controlled by a jade slip?
Although this technique was for plundering and killing, if he only knew how to blindly do it, he would not be able to cultivate it, and he would be attacked by everyone.
What's more, he only had the first three levels of this technique. More profound techniques would probably have to be found in the higher levels of the Demon Treasury, and he was far from being able to be unbridled.
He put the Nine Subduing Devil Slip into his sleeve and flew towards the third level.
The third level was different from the second. Candles were high, and the floor was paved with green bricks. Water flowed through the cracks, and there was a token hanging on all four sides. In the middle, there was a stone platform, and there was nothing else.
Zhang Yan walked closer to take a look, and found that the platform looked like an altar. There was a concave shape on the surface, and it looked very familiar.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at it. Then, he seemed to have thought of something. He took out the magic treasure that teleported him to the "Seven Ultimate Devouring Yin Formation" from his sleeve. After comparing it with the magic treasure, he discovered that it was indeed taken from the formation.
He couldn't help but think, "Could it be that this item isn't used to teleport people, but to teleport the Demon Treasury? But why didn't Lu Ge refine it? "
He didn't know that in order to enter the Demon Treasury, Lu Ge had put in a lot of effort. Back then, he came here with severe injuries, and just to enter the second level, he spent 18 years. After that, he recovered a little, but it still took him 14 years to reach the third level.
When Zhang Yan, Mu Hongchen, and the rest came down here, he had only obtained this fish plate for a few days. How could he have had the time to refine this item?
Since this Demon Treasury could be used for teleportation, Zhang Yan didn't stand on ceremony, and immediately sat down to refine it.
This item looked like a Xuan Artifact, but it didn't have any True Consciousness in it, so refining it was effortless.
After a month, he opened his eyes, picked up the item, and buckled it into the concave. Spiritual Qi surged into it, and it turned into a clear jade spring. In an instant, the fish on the plate seemed to have a life of its own, and its body was covered with scales and thin whiskers. It shook its head and wagged its tail, and it was quite magical.
Zhang Yan let out a roar, and with a rumbling sound, the Devil Trove was teleported three thousand meters away. Zhang Yan couldn't help but be delighted. He pushed the Devil Trove a few more times, and before long, the sky brightened.
After being trapped in the underground ravine for a year, he returned to the surface.
