"Mirage Water Palace and Eastern Talent Sect are both upper three grades sects. It's normal to have such losses. As for the others, we've mostly succeeded. Sacrifices are unavoidable. But how did the Prime Devil Sect and Hundred Temperings Sect lose so many people? "Lin Huandao frowned.
"More than half of the people we lost were newly recruited sects. Do you think it's those messy cave masters in the south? How many elites are there in the Hundred Lineages? You want us to be completely exposed? "Lin Beikai said coldly.
"Calm down, Young Master. At most, I'll do it myself." Lin Huandao regained his composure.
Lin Beikai was taken aback at these words.
Although he was not on good terms with Lin Huandao, he knew the latter's strength. He was a publicly acknowledged upper three grades expert in the Noble Families, and the secret art he cultivated was one of the most difficult in the family.
Apart from him and two others who could suppress him, no one else in the younger generation was his match.
The Lin Family was huge. Under the might of the Divine Weapon, there were more than a hundred people in the younger generation. To be able to suppress so many others, Lin Huandao was naturally extraordinary.
"Of course I'm at ease with you taking action." Lin Beikai's tone softened. "But you must at least take into account Shangyang Fei's troubles. That woman isn't to be trifled with. "
The upper three grades of Snake in the Noble Families were naturally stronger than the upper three grades of the same grade in the sects. With Lin Huandao taking action, the only problem was that he might be too greedy and snatch away what he shouldn't have.
"Luckily, Princess Bai is being held back by that old fool, Ashoka Manor Head. Otherwise, if she finds out what's going on here, there's really no way to explain it, "Lin Beikai said in a low voice.
The Master of Ashoka Manor was a famous top three great demons. Most importantly, he was related to the Huang Family, which was behind the royal family. A few of the Huang Family's elders were his sworn friends, forged through killing in the early years of the Devil Disaster.
The reason why Princess Bai acted cautiously was also because of the Huang Family's elders behind the Ashoka Manor Head.
Otherwise, as the helmsman of the Huang Family and a top expert a few generations older than Lin Beikai, she wouldn't have been held back by the Ashoka Manor Head for so long.
"This is the Huang Family's internal game. Before they settle it, they probably won't pay attention to anything else."
Lin Huandao said calmly.
"How about this? On the day the meeting ends, the various sects will bring their people back. On the way, I'll use my Holy Weapon and personally intercept and kill them."
"Very well, then I wish you victory in advance." Lin Beikai also regained his composure. This was also the result he wanted.
Lin Huandao nodded, turned around and walked toward the exit.
"Right, Young Master Kai."
"?" Lin Beikai looked at him in confusion.
"Shangyang Fei has passed the Mountain Shepherding Brush's test." Lin Huandao's sudden words caused Lin Beikai's cold face to twist.
…
Crash.
Lu Sheng stepped into the River of Poisoned Fog.
The pitch-black river water with hints of purple was like a living thing, trying to drill into his skin and flesh, corroding and melting everything about him.
Lu Sheng was currently standing at the bottom of the Demonic Pool that he had discovered earlier. His right foot had sunk deep into the River of Poisoned Fog. A huge amount of terrifying Devil Qi surged into his body, and was rapidly absorbed by the Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra.
After solving the problem, his body had rested enough. It was time for him to cultivate again. As soon as he fell silent, the other side immediately came over. He continued to devour even thicker Devil Liquid to cultivate.
'The Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra has officially stabilized at the second level. It's a pity that I can no longer use Aquarius Qi to forcefully raise this level of mystic art. ' Lu Sheng lamented in his heart. The more he cultivated the Phantom Listening Skill, the more he could sense that his physical body was silently strengthening without a sound.
This kind of strengthening was different from the rough and unrestrained way before. It was slower, longer, and continuous.
'There are still over a hundred units of Yin Qi left. I can continue to raise it! ' He stood in the River of Poisoned Fog, absorbing large amounts of Devil Liquid into his body. Countless impurities were removed, and pure water vapor evaporated from the top of Lu Sheng's head.
'When my martial arts are raised to the extreme, I can reach an unimaginable level of fighting against demons. What about mystic arts? Perhaps I can give it a try. 'Lu Sheng calmed himself down. He decided to raise the Phantom Listening Skill to the extreme first.
'Deep Blue.'
Swish.
The Modifier appeared before him in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng looked at the newest frame with familiarity.
The Prime Devil Sect's Grand Elder's lineage started with the Three Yin Technique, Karmaless Skill, Ghost Face Mantra, Phantom Path Mantra, Devil Heart Dao, and finally Phantom Listening Skill.
In reality, the Phantom Listening Skill was a mystic art. A technique, an extremely complicated and profound technique.
After mastering the Devil Heart Dao, it was like an inner force expert could only unleash the peerlessly powerful Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms after mastering the inner force. And the Phantom Listening Skill could only be used after mastering the Devil Heart Dao.
The so-called Prime Devil Mystic Art was, in fact, a variety of extremely complicated application systems developed on the basis of the Devil Heart Dao. It was classified as an advanced mystic art.
Lu Sheng planned to master the Devil Heart Dao in one go, and then see if the cultivated Prime Devil Qi and inner Qi could be fused and linked.
'Originally, there would be some bloodline power that would cause the Devil Qi to mutate. But I don't have a bloodline, so I guess I can only cultivate the most basic and primitive Prime Devil Qi.'
He looked at the column for Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra.
'The Ghost Face Mantra has a total of four levels. I should be able to raise it to the top in one go.' He quickly focused his attention on the bottom of the Modifier, and pressed the 'Modify' button lightly.
Instantly, the entire Modifier shuddered. Behind most of the boxes, buttons for improving and modifying appeared.
Lu Sheng quickly found the Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra, and then pressed the button behind it hard.
"Hiss …"
The box suddenly blurred, and then quickly reappeared after a few breaths. It had completely changed into a new state.
'Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra: Level Three. Special Effect (s): Level Three Polarized Body Strengthening, Level Three Devil Will.'
With a thought from Lu Sheng, a translucent Devil Will swam out from behind him. Lu Sheng stared at it, and could clearly see that the Devil Will was expanding.
Previously, it was only as thick as an arm. But after raising it to the third level of the Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra, the Devil Will rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it had expanded to more than twice its original size, and was like a large ball of transparent jelly, spinning around Lu Sheng.
'Again.' He felt the Yin Qi he had expended. It was only nine units. Not bad. He still had more than a hundred units of Yin Qi left. That was enough.
'Raise Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra to the peak of the fourth level.'
Lu Sheng used his will to press the 'Enhance' button again.
"Hiss …"
The frame changed once again.
'Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra: Level Four. Special Effect (s): Level Four Extreme Body Strengthening, Devil Will Level Four.'
'This Level Four Extreme Body Strengthening doesn't seem to have changed much.' Lu Sheng frowned slightly. Even after raising it two levels consecutively, he did not feel much change in his body.
He raised his hand, and his arm slowly changed shape, turning into a thick Yang Extreme Mode.
But with just this change, Lu Sheng immediately noticed the difference.
The surface of his skin had ignited with a faint black flame.
'Fire of Poison Mist? Why did it appear so early? 'This was the Fire of Poison Mist unique to the Prime Devil Sect, or Poison Fire for short. It was very destructive even to the disciples of the Noble Families.
Of course, among those of the same level, the Poison Fire was actually not very powerful. Not only was its effect slow, but it also required a lot of it to poison the opponent. It was not very practical.
Otherwise, the Grand Elder would not have been beaten so badly by the two Snake realm men in black.
Lu Sheng carefully examined the flame on his arm.
The flame was still very weak, like gray smoke. If not for the fact that his vision was a few centimeters above his skin and he could see the distorted scenery, Lu Sheng would not have noticed this change.
'It's just that there are many layers of Fire of Poison Mist outside my body. It's actually not very useful.' Lu Sheng shook his head in disappointment.
For an expert like him who mainly fought with strength and speed, poison was the least useful.
'It seems that the increase in strength of my body is not great, and the burden of the hidden injuries is also very easy. My body is fine. I can still continue. '
The Ghost Face Mantra had reached the peak. Next should be the Phantom Path Mantra. The Phantom Path Mantra actually only had one level. Or maybe it was just a technique.
'The Ghost Face Mantra absorbs Devil Qi and Devil liquid from the outside world to strengthen and stimulate the body. Then, according to the secret skill records, the Phantom Path Mantra purifies the absorbed Devil Qi, improves its quality, and transforms it into real Prime Devil Qi.
'Turn on the switch in the body and condense the source of transformation, which is to purify Devil Qi … these are all very easy to understand. Then, let's begin. '
It was just a technique. Lu Sheng himself controlled the Devil Qi in his body and began to condense the so-called Gate to Phantom Path.
This was also the most crucial core of the Phantom Path Mantra.
The control of Devil Qi was a very strange feeling.
It flowed in the blood, not in the meridians, and was an inside and outside part of the inner Qi. They did not interfere with each other.
Moreover, the biggest difference between Devil Qi and inner Qi was that they were extremely corrosive. This corrosiveness was even affecting Lu Sheng's body and blood, fundamentally changing the essence of his life.
Inner Qi, on the other hand, was based on Lu Sheng's original essence of life, constantly evolving and strengthening.
'I wonder what kind of changes will occur in the future.'
The Gate to Phantom Path was like a conch. It required a strange tissue of Devil Qi mixed with flesh and blood to be formed in the center of the chest. It was equivalent to a proliferating and new organ.
Lu Sheng gave it a try. With his current control of martial arts, he quickly and easily formed a new organ in his chest that looked like a conch.
Originally, this could only be formed by constantly moving the muscle tissue and combining it with Devil Qi over a long period of time. But he was already very adept at switching between Yin Extreme Mode and Yang Extreme Mode.
This was not a problem at all. Compared to the Yin Extreme Mode, which compressed a body of more than three meters down to the size of a normal person's one meter, this kind of subtle control of muscles …
'Wait!' Suddenly, Lu Sheng reacted. 'So the reason I trained the subtle muscles in the beginning was for this moment?' He had been training the subtle muscles in his body all along. So he had been preparing for this moment all along.
The flesh and blood conch quickly formed.
Lu Sheng tried to move the Devil Qi and pour it in from above.
"Whoosh …"
At this moment, he himself did not notice that around him, a large amount of water from the River of Poisoned Fog trembled violently. Ripples spread out in all directions with him as the epicenter.
A deep, serene sound, as if coming from the depths of the darkness, came from the conch in his body.
