The three lights were three cultivation methods, as well as three paths!
If Li Qingshan absorbed any one of them into his body, his strength would increase drastically. However, Li Qingshan was in no hurry to do that. After undergoing nirvāṇa rebirth, the most important thing was to use the time of growth to slowly balance out the various powers in his body.
If he devoured all three at once, it would only disrupt his original pace, which was why he could only choose one of them. The Ocean pearl should be the best choice. It could raise his strength back to early Golden Core immediately. Combined with his recovered strength, there would only be a very limited number of people who could threaten him in the Mist province.
However, after a moment of thought, he still chose the demon heart, as it was a little more compatible with the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, and it would not disrupt the balance between water and fire in his body.
And, speaking of which, who knew how much more powerful the Demon Suppression Statuary was compared to the Arts of the Boundless Ocean. The reason why it did not demonstrate great power was actually because there was a crucial step he had never taken, which was to completely give up on the Arts of the Boundless Ocean and convert his cultivation to the Demon Suppression Statuary.
In the past, the Unraging monk had converted the śarīra he had cultivated arduously into a demon heart, which was why he had truly succeeded in practising the Demon Suppression Statuary. Without this step, the Demon Suppression Statuary would actually be an empty shell. Li Qingshan had to rely on his powerful demonic nature to barely unleash some of its power.
The reason why Li Qingshan had never taken this step was because of many considerations. This conversion required time. He did not have too much time and energy to spend on it. After all, daemon cultivation was his foundation. Human cultivation was actually secondary. The Arts of the Boundless Ocean was a little weaker, but it was more complete, so it was easier to practise too.
Originally, he planned on converting the Arts of the Boundless Ocean to the ninth layer of perfection, which would basically allow him to unleash the full power of the first six layers of the Demon Suppression Statuary. However, as it seemed, it was time for him to make a choice now. If he did not use this opportunity to tidy up the various powers in his body, he would have to wait for this nirvāṇa rebirth.
He extended a finger, and the blood-red, crystal-like demon heart suddenly shone with intense light. He silently operated the Demon Suppression Statuary, and the light slowly receded. It was translucent and glistening.
Afterwards, he looked at the Ocean pearl again. Under the control of his Divine Sense, the Deep Ocean Pearl began to spin faster and faster, and its smooth and round shape gradually changed. It gradually approached the demon heart.
A droplet of liquid suddenly flew out of the Ocean pearl and landed on the demon heart. It immediately led to a powerful reaction. The red light flickered constantly, illuminating the entire hall. Under Li Qingshan's control, over a day had passed. Only then did the light gradually settle down, and the demon heart began to shine even more brightly.
Afterwards, the droplet of the second droplet …
Just like that, time passed day by day. The Deep Sea Pearl grew smaller and smaller, and the demon heart grew brighter and brighter.
The demon heart that was originally blood-red was now intertwined with a deep blue. The two colours merged together, making it seem even more magnificent. The benefits of combining the two powers went without saying. His current strength as a human cultivator was definitely much greater than before his rebirth. Right now, even if the White Lotus Mother directly charged over, he could advance and retreat with ease.
Two months ago, his mirror clone had sent him good news as well. According to their agreement, Gu Yanying had helped him collect a large quantity of fire-attributed pills and spiritual stones. He directly paid for it. Of course, he had to thank Si Qing for her generosity and asking her to continue collecting them. With this sum of resources, he could begin practising the second layer of the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa!
However, there was no need for him to be in such a hurry. After a lengthy period of cultivation, he needed to rest slightly, so he took out the Asura Field.
… …
"Sister, where do you think master has been these past few years? Why hasn't he summoned us even once? The tree king clearly knows, but he refuses to tell us! "
In an exquisite treehouse in the Asura Field, Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo sat opposite one another. Smoke curled up from their tea.
Everything in the room was carved from wood, engraved with complicated and beautiful patterns. The air gave off a fresh, natural fragrance, completely different from the gloominess and mysteriousness underground.
"He's probably focusing on cultivation right now! At his realm of cultivation, it's nothing strange for him to enter secluded cultivation for a few years. Actually, there are regular daemons who can enter secluded cultivation for several decades at a time. It's best if you don't think about it too much. Focus on cultivation! "
Ye Liusu comforted Ye Liubo, but her gaze was rather unfocused. The most precious thing in the world of cultivation was time, but it was also the least valuable thing.
"What! Several decades! I'll die! "Ye Liubo was tongue-tied. She leaned on the round wooden table powerlessly and groaned.
"Reunions are always short. Parting is forever. Liubo, don't you understand?" Ye Liusu stroked Ye Liubo's hair gently and said gently.
With his talent, becoming a Daemon King was nothing difficult. His lifespan would reach over ten thousand years. As night roamers, they might live a little longer than regular human cultivators, but they were nowhere close to daemons. They would basically die before him. And, that was not the cruelest part. It was possible for him to ascend even faster and even higher, ascending to an even greater world. That would not be a barrier of time, but a barrier of space.
"I don't care! I don't care! I want to follow master for the rest of my life! I haven't even given birth to his child yet! "Ye Liubo called out shamelessly like a child.
Ye Liusu sighed. Just when she was about to say something, the scenery before her changed. A voice rang out from behind, "As long as you try a few more times, you'll definitely have a child!"
Suddenly, she looked back and saw a twelve or thirteen year old child standing on the lotus pedestal a few steps away, smiling at them. The voice had come from him.
"You're … master!?" Ye Liubo recognised the familiar scarlet hair and eyes with a single glance.
"Who else could it be!?" Before Li Qingshan had even finished speaking, Ye Liubo lunged over and hugged him firmly. She murmured, "Master, you've become so small!" Ye Liusu also asked, "What happened?"
"Don't you know? It's a long story! " Li Qingshan roughly explained what had happened. "... That's roughly it. I'm currently recovering, which is why I've become a little smaller. However, I'll recover very soon!"
