In just five years, the Prime Devil Sect quickly absorbed all the power it could and integrated it into itself. It also developed into a huge sect that covered almost the entire Moling Prefecture.
As for Lu Sheng, he returned to the Lu Manor after dealing with the Devil Lord. Rumor had it that he was treating his family member Lu Qingqing's chronic head disease. There was very little news of his whereabouts.
But in reality, he wasn't just treating Lu Qingqing's brain disease. At the same time, he was also cultivating the mental cultivation method Tong Yi gave him. His instincts told him that this mental cultivation method would be very helpful to him.
Also, he would go out every once in a while. Sometimes he would go to the World of Pain to participate in sacrifices, and sometimes he would go to the Outer Worlds to complete Divine Weapon recovery missions. In this world, he had long stopped collecting Divine Weapons to avoid arousing suspicion and trouble. He only collected as many Divine Weapons as he could through Shizi Xing's missions in the Outer Worlds.
Shizi Xing didn't care about this at all. As long as the missions were completed, she didn't care if her subordinates stole anything as long as it wasn't too much.
In five years, Lu Sheng went to at least a dozen Outer Worlds to recover all kinds of so-called finished Divine Weapons in different areas of these Outer Worlds. He even went to the Devil World sometimes. He secretly accumulated more and more Divine Weapons, and the Mental Energy he got from devouring Divine Weapons increased as well.
But most of these Divine Weapons were Golden Leaf grade, and very few were Jade Star grade. As for Divine Intellect grade, he only saw one, and it wasn't him who did it. Shizi Xing did it herself.
Because of this, Lu Sheng saw the scene of Divine Intellect level fighting at full power.
In these years, all the Mental Energy he obtained was piled into Death Flame.
Death Flame, which was evolved from Yin Flame, had been injected with more than 200,000 Mental Energy units. However, apart from a slight increase in power, there was no other change.
Many Divine Weapons were devoured and converted into Mental Energy, which was absorbed into Death Flame. Lu Sheng tried to use this method to forcefully raise Death Flame to Origin Power level.
But years of persistence seemed to have yielded no results. However, his intuition was able to sense that the Death Flame was accumulating, waiting for the moment when it would erupt with a qualitative change.
The Holy Lord of the Yin Capital had issued a summons a long time ago. He wanted all the Holy Lords of the nation to head to the Yin Capital to fight against the Devil World together. Lu Sheng ignored it.
As a Divine Lord, he had quite a bit of immunity. The Great Yin didn't give him anything, and he wasn't a native of this place. He didn't have the selfless heart of a savior like Li Shunxi.
After discovering that the Death Flame did not improve, he tried to find a way to explore the Death Flame. Using the scientific analysis method from Earth, he recorded many of the characteristics of the Death Flame in detail. He was trying to break through the bottleneck in this way.
During this period of time, the situation in the Great Yin was turbulent.
Several state cities near the Yin Capital were besieged and breached. Three of the Devil Army's Gates of Flesh and Blood had also collapsed. In order to break through the Yin Capital's great formation, countless Devil Generals and Devil Kings had died. There were victories and defeats on both sides.
And the great war that erupted two years ago, the Battle of Dianhua was even more tragic. The number of Demon Masters and Holy Masters who died in battle reached double digits.
The two Weapon Grandmasters were heavily injured and went into seclusion. They almost died, and their armies were scattered. However, one Devil Emperor was also heavily injured, and one was missing. They lost 150,000 elite Devil soldiers. It could only be considered a pyrrhic victory.
This battle used up all of the Great Yin's strength. The three great families were also at a low point.
At this point, both sides fought with all their might. After a round of fighting, five Gates of Flesh and Blood were stabilized. These five gates became the meat grinder for the Great Yin and the Devil World.
Countless Devils and soldiers swarmed into the battlefield, turning into flesh and blood to nourish the earth. The Great Yin's resources were also being depleted quickly. The allied army of Devil Emperor Vera and the other two were also in a similar awkward situation.
The people were complaining. The resources were used up too much, and the people had no way to make a living. On top of that, the Devil Kings and Weapon Masters were slaughtering everywhere, causing the weather to change. The unstable weather severely damaged the agricultural production in the Great Yin. Food and logistics became more and more difficult. In the end, almost 90% of the population relied on blood transfusions from the outside world.
The control of the Yin Capital became weaker and weaker. Especially when the Weapon Grandmaster was heavily injured and went into seclusion to recuperate. The various forces all fell into a state of semi-independence. Some occupied the mountains as kings, the Great Demons stirred up trouble, the Ancient Clans appeared, and warlords split up.
For a time, the entire Great Yin Dynasty fell into a state of division.
The scariest thing was that this division seemed to have the shadow of the Yin Capital's royal family behind it. The princes and princesses fought for their own power. The contradiction had almost reached an extremely sharp and terrifying point.
In this chaotic situation, the foundation that Lu Sheng's Prime Devil Sect established in the Moling Prefecture turned this place into a place of peace and prosperity.
Being able to resist the Devil Army, not plunder the private property of the people under their rule, and not raise taxes recklessly — this kind of power was naturally very popular.
The Prime Devil Sect's reputation and influence gradually spread from the prefecture to the surrounding prefectures. Many Demons and mortals who escaped from the chaos of war and the Devil Disaster all rushed here.
…
The autumn wind was slightly cold, and the sky was bright.
In the courtyard of the Lu Manor, Lu Sheng stood under the old locust tree with his hands behind his back, admiring the scene of a hundred flowers blooming on the tree's branches.
The face of an old man appeared on the pitch-black trunk of the old locust tree, its expression calm and peaceful. The two branches were like human hands, holding a paintbrush and carefully drawing on a canvas in front of them.
About an hour later, it stopped moving its branches.
"Sect Master, please take a look."
The old locust tree's voice was deep and rumbling, like a boulder rolling on a stone floor.
Lu Sheng focused his gaze and saw that the canvas was densely covered with hundreds of different kinds of bright-colored flowers and plants.
"A hundred flowers blooming. It's exquisite, but it's still lacking some charm." He shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.
"Yes, a thousand years ago, I watched the Art Saint Peng Feizi practice day and night. I thought I'd learned the essence, but I still lacked the most important thing." The old locust tree sighed helplessly.
He had joined the Prime Devil Sect under Lu Sheng's wing three years ago. He had a gentle nature, and did not like to fight or kill. Moreover, he was a very old and experienced elder among the Demon Clan. Lu Sheng could communicate with him and obtain answers to many of the information he needed. That was why he stayed.
"Elder Huai, do you have an answer to the trouble I asked you to think about?" Lu Sheng shifted his attention and asked the old locust tree carefully.
"Sect Master, the strength of your body is rare in the world … This is the first time I've seen someone other than a top-grade Great Demon who can train their body to this level. I've thought of a way. "
"Oh?" Lu Sheng was delighted. His mind, which had been stable and peaceful because of cultivating the Essence Cultivation Method, could not help but tremble slightly.
"Please enlighten me, Elder Huai." He had always held great respect for the benevolent old man who had a wealth of experience. Even if he could share a portion of their rich memories, it would be a precious treasure to Lu Sheng.
Elder Huai chuckled.
"You're too kind, Sect Master. This is all I can help you with. Your problem is that Madam's body is too weak to bear your grace. So there are two ways. The first is to let Madam practice a powerful technique to train her body. But because of Madam's innate talent … this method will not work. As for the second … "
"What's the second?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow impatiently.
"The second method isn't really a secret. Sect Leader, have you ever considered that the physical bodies of top-notch Great Demons are incomparably strong, and they are not inferior to yours? However, according to the legends, there are records of them copulating with mortals and ordinary humans. Their physical bodies are also incomparably strong. How did they manage to do that? "
"Indeed." Lu Sheng was deep in thought. He knew where he stood. After fusing the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way with the Infinity Technique, his body's strength was fixed at its peak. The Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way was the fusion of eight different Demon Bodies. Although it was extremely domineering, it was only on the same level as top-grade Great Demons like Divine Lords.
In reality, his body's strength was already at its peak. The Infinity Technique took a different path. It was to infinitely strengthen the Yin Fire, but it did not include the tempering of the body.
"Because of this, I searched for old friends and obtained a secret from an old Great Demon friend," Elder Huai said in a low voice.
"Please speak." Lu Sheng's expression became solemn.
"Among the top-grade Great Demons, there is a method known as the Heavenly Demon Flower Scripture. It's a method used to soften one's own essence and melt it to nourish one's partner. Rumor has it that this cultivation method was created by a Divine Master Great Demon who fell in love with a human in the mortal world. They racked their brains and created this cultivation method, "Elder Huai explained in detail.
"Did you obtain this method?" Lu Sheng asked hurriedly.
"This method isn't very valuable. Many Great Demons know about it. There's no need to worry, Sect Master. I'll teach it to you right away," Elder Huai replied with a smile.
Lu Sheng calmed down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Death Flame couldn't see any hope of improving any time soon, so he put all his energy into improving the Infinity Technique and the problem of reproduction.
Chen Yunxi hadn't divorced him yet. Even if the Great Yin was open-minded, it wasn't easy for a divorced woman to remarry.
Lu Sheng had used his Yang Essence to improve the Yin Crane Web in Chen Yunxi's body, thus prolonging her life and temporarily stabilizing the situation.
However, his problem of reproduction had always been a huge problem for the Lu Family. As the pillar of the Lu Family and the sect master of the Prime Devil Sect, he was now faced with a situation where he had no successor.
Lu Hongying, Lu Yingying, and the others only had mortal bodies. Even reaching Bind level would take a long time. Not to mention becoming the successor of the Lu Family.
Now, Lu Sheng only left a Divine Weapon to guard the Lu Family and radiate the bodies of all his family members. However, this Divine Weapon's radiation transformation was extremely slow, and there wouldn't be any results in a short time.
As for the rest, everything had stabilized. In the World of Pain, Lu Sheng was deeply trusted by Shizi Xing. He was practically her right-hand man, handling many affairs of the parish.
He even had the power to mobilize the entire Black Society in Moling Prefecture. This way, Lu Sheng's power grew even more.
Thus, he finally had time to solve the problem of reproduction.
How could a man say no?
Cultivating, cultivating, and eventually becoming a eunuch would be too pitiful.
Fortunately, he finally found a solution. His problem with Chen Yunxi could finally be resolved.
Elder Huai began to describe the Demon Race's Heavenly Demon Flower Scripture Art in detail. Because every word was written in the Demon Race's language, he had to explain the principles and mysteries within to Lu Sheng from the beginning.
After carefully learning this secret art, Lu Sheng circulated it slightly, and instantly felt the activity of his body greatly weaken.
This art was basically used to suppress the activity of the body.
