Xiao Lingyu did not stay in seclusion for a long time, coming out after two or three months. Then, he would greet the old hunchbacked steward and go out.
Every time he went out, it would only take him seven or eight days to come back and continue his seclusion.
Occasionally, he would stay in the valley of the Imperial Beast Hall after his seclusion, taking care of the young beasts while pondering all day long.
When he was in seclusion, Xiao Lingyu was trying his best to comprehend the intermediate and advanced curses. When he went out, he would find a place where no one was around to practice the curses he had comprehended. When he was feeding the young beasts in the valley, he would carefully study the things that he had always found difficult to comprehend.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
After such a long period of comprehension, Xiao Lingyu had already achieved good results in the cultivation of intermediate curses. The disorganized combination of advanced curses had also improved.
However, in such a short period of time, Xiao Lingyu could only occasionally deduce the advanced curses. He still needed a long time to completely reassemble the advanced curses.
Xiao Lingyu was not in a hurry. Currently, he was unable to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. He could also improve his strength by putting in some effort in some auxiliary techniques.
In fact, if Xiao Lingyu could use the intermediate curses properly, it could already increase his battle strength by a lot. It could also allow him to increase the variety of his attack methods. However, with his current realm, it was still a little difficult to comprehend advanced curses.
As long as a cultivator's comprehension was slightly better, it would be easier for them to get started in the cultivation of curses. They would be able to easily activate some simple curses. However, to comprehend intermediate curses, one would need to be very proficient in basic curses. This was because intermediate curses were ingenious combinations of countless basic curses.
In this aspect, the Curse Technique, Restriction Technique, and Formation Technique were similar. However, Formation Technique and Restriction Technique were traceable. As long as one was good at calculation, and with years of understanding, one would be able to make continuous progress. However, the Curse Technique was a more ethereal existence. Not only did it require a high level of Soul Realm to support the complicated and huge calculation, it also required unconstrained imagination and creativity.
Intermediate and advanced curses were generally imbued with the cultivator's own thoughts. When the same curses were activated by two cultivators, the effects and power produced would be very different.
When restrictions and formations were set up or activated, they could be seen or felt by cultivators. Moreover, they could exist for a relatively long time and were more stable. However, curses were different. When they were activated, they were like ghosts dancing in the night, drifting and leaving no trace. However, once they were activated, they had to hit the target. Otherwise, they would dissipate. They could not be like restrictions or formations that could exist for many years without showing their power.
Once a curses hit the target, they would not dissipate quickly. Instead, they could stay in the target's body for a very long time. The most amazing thing was that after the curses entered the target's body, they would change under the control of the caster.
What Xiao Lingyu valued was not only the power of the curses themselves, but also the power after the curses were fused with various seals or spells. Although this fusion was very difficult and required a lot of time to calculate and deduce, once the fusion was successful, the power of the curses and seals or spells would increase by many times.
Last time, the woman surnamed Liu had fused her Charm Technique and Ecstasy Curse together to cast it on Xiao Lingyu. Even though Xiao Lingyu's cultivation was one level higher than that woman surnamed Liu, he could not avoid being hit. If it were not for the special restriction of the East Pole Devil Sect in his soul, he was afraid that woman surnamed Liu would have sucked his Yang Essence dry.
Xiao Lingyu was not very proficient in other spells and seals. Just the Primal Chaos Seal alone required him to study it with all his strength. Naturally, he only wanted to fuse some powerful curses with the Primal Chaos Seal.
The Primal Chaos Seal's power had increased a lot because of the demonization of his Primal Chaos Force. If he could fuse some intermediate curses with Xiao Lingyu's current strength, the Primal Chaos Seal's power would be enough to easily kill any late-stage True Demon existence. Even early-stage Spirit Demon experts would have to stay far away and not dare to face it head-on.
Xiao Lingyu's current cultivation goal in the short term was to fuse the Primal Chaos Seal with some intermediate curses.
As for advanced curses, he could not even reach the entry level. He could not use any advanced curses at all, let alone fuse them with the Primal Chaos Seal. Even if he wanted to fuse intermediate curses, Xiao Lingyu still needed a long time to study them.
If Xiao Lingyu wanted to fuse the Intermediate Curse Techniques into the Primal Chaos Seal, he would first need to reach a level where he could use the Intermediate Curse Techniques as he wished. Only after he was familiar with the Intermediate Curse Techniques, could he then search for the Curse Techniques to fuse with the Primal Chaos Seal.
After ten years of comprehension and cultivation, Xiao Lingyu had already mastered a few intermediate curses that were suitable for him. Recently, he had been trying to fuse these curses with the Primal Chaos Seal one by one. Unfortunately, he did not know whether it was because his realm was not high enough, his understanding of curses was not enough, or he found the right place to fuse them. In short, he had tried thousands of times, but he did not succeed once.
"Unknowingly, ten years have passed. They have not sent me any messages. I don't know how things are going. I should go take a look. It's time to tell Cang Ju about these curses."
With that thought, Xiao Lingyu went to the old manager to ask for leave.
The old manager originally had a little suspicion that Xiao Lingyu was not an ordinary person. The last time Xiao Lingyu returned unscathed, he was even more convinced of this point. Even a late Devil King expert could not do anything to him, so he, a mere late Heavenly Devil cultivator, naturally did not dare to put on the airs of a senior manager in front of Xiao Lingyu. Therefore, all these years, when Xiao Lingyu was always in seclusion and did not work, he had never questioned him.
In recent years, Xiao Lingyu had been going out every once in a while. The old manager had long been accustomed to it. This time was no exception. He very straightforwardly allowed it.
However, just as Xiao Lingyu was about to leave, the old manager said, "In another half a year, the sect will select a group of elite disciples from the Earth Devil and Heavenly Devil realms. They will be accepted as disciples by a few True Devil Grandmasters. At that time, there will be a competition. It is said that the top ten will be accepted by the True Devil Grandmasters, and the top three will have the opportunity to enter the East Extreme Devil Cave to cultivate for a period of time. If they are lucky, they might be chosen by the Grand Elder who is cultivating in the East Extreme Devil Cave."
"Grand Elder?"
Xiao Lingyu was a little curious, because it was the first time he heard that there was a Grand Elder in the East Extreme Devil Sect, but after a moment, he thought that the Grand Elder of the East Extreme Devil Sect should be a Spirit Demon powerhouse.
"In short, this is definitely a good opportunity for you. Take advantage of it. This time you go out and try to come back as early as possible. Don't delay the competition." The hunchbacked old man reminded.
Xiao Lingyu didn't take this matter to heart. After leaving the East Extreme Devil Sect, he rushed all the way to the Demon Scorpion Valley.
The journey was peaceful, and in less than two days, Xiao Lingyu arrived at the mountain forest where the Demon Scorpion Valley was located.
Just a few hundred miles away from the Demon Scorpion Valley, Xiao Lingyu, who was walking quickly in the mountain forest, suddenly frowned. After stopping, he shouted, "Come out!"
His shout came out, but no one came out. Only a light breeze floated in the distance.
"Humph! After following for a while, you can't just leave like that. Come out and meet me! "
As soon as Xiao Lingyu's words fell, his body had already moved hundreds of feet horizontally, blocking the light breeze.
The light breeze was too late to stop, and it hit Xiao Lingyu's body, but it didn't pass by, but it was bounced back by Xiao Lingyu's imposing aura, and then gradually turned into a staggered cultivator.
The cultivator looked a little young, about 18 or 19 years old. After he steadied himself, he stared at Xiao Lingyu with a gloomy face. After a while, he cupped his fists and said, "I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Brother!"
"Didn't mean to offend you? You've been following me ever since I entered the forest. You call that unintentionally offending me? "Xiao Lingyu sneered as he questioned.
"Indeed, I didn't mean to offend you … Once we enter the forest, we will soon reach the Demon Scorpion Valley. Moreover, you are heading in that direction, so I followed you," the young cultivator replied after a pause.
Although the young cultivator looked young, he was actually an early-stage true demon. He should have just ascended from late-stage devil king not long ago. Naturally, he couldn't see through Xiao Lingyu's strength, but from Xiao Lingyu's imposing aura, he could roughly judge Xiao Lingyu's cultivation, so he wasn't very afraid.
"What does me going to the Demon Scorpion Valley have to do with you? Why are you following me?" Xiao Lingyu asked again, his expression cold, as if he would attack if the young cultivator didn't give a reasonable explanation.
"Uh … This matter is confidential, I can't say it casually," the young cultivator said, scratching his head.
"You don't have to say it, as long as you can beat me."
Xiao Lingyu didn't waste any time. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out again. He didn't use any spells or magic treasures, only clawing at the young cultivator's throat.
But before Xiao Lingyu could reach the young cultivator, the young cultivator cried out in alarm and turned into a gentle breeze. Wherever Xiao Lingyu's imposing aura passed, the breeze would automatically move aside. No matter how strong Xiao Lingyu was, he couldn't touch the young cultivator's clothes.
The young cultivator wasn't extremely fast, but had a strange movement technique. As long as Xiao Lingyu's aura leaked out, the young cultivator's movement technique would automatically dodge, and dodge in advance.
Xiao Lingyu's attack speed wasn't slow, and it wasn't that he couldn't hit the young cultivator, but that his attack speed wasn't fast enough to ignore the young cultivator's movement technique.
After attacking for a while, Xiao Lingyu released his imposing aura in an attempt to seal the surrounding space, but it was useless. The young cultivator's movement technique seemed to be able to ignore the imposing aura seal. At least, Xiao Lingyu's imposing aura seal was useless against him.
