Six thick jade steles made of black crystals stood on the huge square. They were about a hundred feet tall and several hundred feet wide.
They formed a circle and surrounded the Sword Management Terrace Sacred Land.
An aura that made one's heart tremble spread out from the six crystal steles.
These were the Battle Law Steles left behind by Demon Venerable Misty Cloud.
At the center of the six Battle Law Steles, which was also the center of the Sword Management Terrace, a black longsword floated in the air. It was motionless, but it released a heavy and terrifying aura.
Black whirlwinds of Sword Qi of various sizes revolved around the long sword. The sharp aura was like the edge of a sword.
The Demon Sword.
At this moment.
There were many people around the Sword Management Terrace. Many of them had heard the news and hurried over.
They looked at one of the Battle Law Steles with shock, envy, or jealousy. They had all kinds of different emotions.
A strange pattern was carved on the Battle Law Steles.
Countless lines of scarlet blood were arranged on the surface of the steles in a strange pattern. The lines formed a mystical pattern.
Now, the Battle Law Steles were undergoing an unusual change.
Its entire body flickered with a crystalline light, and the lines formed by blood began to twist and shift continuously, transforming into numerous demonic and evil creatures with incomplete bodies!
The pattern kept changing. Below the Battle Law Steles, Ying Jie had his eyes closed. He was silently comprehending something.
There seemed to be a line connecting them.
Ying Jie had formed an inexplicable connection with the Battle Law Steles. He was comprehending its mysteries.
"He really comprehended it." A ray of light flashed. The figure of Shi Wu Demon Venerable appeared on the square.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable, who had just arrived, was shocked when he saw the Battle Law Steles and Ying Jie.
"Greetings, Demon Venerable." The surrounding people saw Shi Wu Demon Venerable and quickly greeted him.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable waved his hand and looked at Ying Jie with sparkling eyes.
"After three thousand years, our Burning Moon Domain finally has another genius who has comprehended the Misty Cloud Battle Law. Congratulations, Demon Venerable."
Another Grade Nine Demon Cultivator who had heard the news congratulated Shi Wu Demon Venerable excitedly.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable did not say anything. He only nodded in satisfaction and waited patiently.
After a while, the Great Blaze Demon Master also arrived after hearing the news.
"Father." He bowed to Shi Wu Demon Venerable. After he got up, he looked at Ying Jie with unconcealable passion and excitement, his face flushed.
His previous resentment and anger towards Ying Jie's action of killing his brother had long since been covered up by the wild joy at this moment, and it had completely vanished.
Soon after, a few other great figures came as well, gathering together. They attached great importance to this matter and prepared to participate in this grand undertaking.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ying Jie, unable to hide their jealousy.
After comprehending the Misty Battle Technique, Ying Jie could almost be regarded as a future Demon Sovereign.
No one could stop the rise of Ying Jie.
After a while, the moving blood lines gradually calmed down and returned to their original positions.
The dazzling light on the Battle Law Stele also gradually calmed down, and no more mysteries could be seen.
"It's about to end." Demon Paragon Shi Wu murmured.
Finally, Ying Jie opened his eyes.
At first, he was still in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was surrounded by people, and each of them had an extremely high status.
These people were staring at him with burning gazes. He was instantly shocked by this terrifying lineup.
"Jie 'er, did you comprehend the Battle Law Stele's Battle Law Stele?" Grand Blaze Demon Master was the first to ask for confirmation.
Ying Jie finally reacted. He thought about it seriously, nodded, and said, "I did, but it's not deep enough. I need time to digest it."
Grand Blaze Demonic Master laughed heartily. "Of course. Every one of Sacred Ancestor Vast Firmament's battle techniques contains shocking power.
Even if you become a Demon Sovereign, you might not be able to fully comprehend its mysteries. It's not something that can be digested in a short time. "
Although he said that, Grand Blaze Demon Master was already in high spirits. "The heavens bless my Shi Wu bloodline. Today, you've comprehended the Misty Battle Law. This must be a sign of our Shi Wu bloodline's prosperity. Good, good!"
"Congratulations …"
"Congratulations …"
Soon, the other great figures gathered around, and congratulated him one after another.
Grand Blaze Demon Master could not stop smiling. Shi Wu Demon Sovereign was also comforted.
"From today onwards, every time the Burning Moon Domain distributes Blood Spirit Crystals, you'll be given a share until you become a Demon Sovereign."
A Demon Sovereign from Chi Zun's bloodline stepped forward and announced loudly.
When the surrounding people heard this, their eyes lit up.
Other than Demon Sovereigns, Blood Spirit Crystals were extremely important to any Devil Cultivator. Even rank-9 Devil Cultivators desired them.
Before this, the distribution of Blood Spirit Crystals was distributed according to the bloodlines of each clan.
However, from now onwards, Ying Jie would be able to enjoy a share of Blood Spirit Crystals, just like an entire clan. How could they not be envious of such treatment?
They could not help but look at the six Battle Law Steles again. Their thoughts were racing.
Yes, almost everyone present had tried to comprehend the Battle Law Steles more than once. However, they had all failed in the end.
However, comprehending the Battle Law Steles had always been "up to fate".
It did not depend on one's cultivation base or combat power. Even if one did not gain anything previously, it was not impossible for one to suddenly comprehend it after experiencing some changes and opportunities.
A living example was right in front of them.
Previously, Ying Jie was also unable to comprehend the Battle Law Steles. However, this time, he had comprehended it without any warning!
If Ying Jie could do so, perhaps they would also have the same luck?
On the other side, a hint of excitement appeared in Ying Jie's eyes.
Obviously, he knew what kind of amazing opportunity he had obtained.
He was actually still a little confused.
He had tried to comprehend the Battle Law Steles several times in the past, but to no avail.
Gradually, he gave up on these unrealistic fantasies.
This time, he had no choice but to be on duty at the Sword Management Terrace because of Shi Wu Demon Sovereign's punishment. Since he had nothing else to do, he took a few more glances at the Battle Law Steles.
However, after taking a few more glances, the Battle Law Steles were like a whirlpool that instantly sucked in his mind.
Then, he understood.
It was like winning the lottery.
However, he was shrewd and quickly hid his excitement. He thanked the Demon Sovereign.
"Thank you for your guidance, Demon Sovereign."
The Demon Sovereign under Chi Zun nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he looked around and said loudly, "Don't be jealous. As I said before, anyone who can comprehend Divine Ancestor Mang Cang's Battle Law will receive the same attention!"
Everyone was envious. Many people subconsciously tried to comprehend the Battle Law Steles again.
"There's one thing you haven't tried yet." Just as everyone was discussing, Shi Wu Demon Sovereign's deep voice rang out.
Ying Jie was stunned.
Shi Wu Demon Sovereign looked into the distance and stared at the center of the Sword Management Terrace, at the Soldier Demon Clan's most treasured Divine Weapon.
At this moment, everyone realized what was going on.
Yes, since Ying Jie had comprehended the Mang Cang Battle Law, he could try to control the Demon Sword, the clan's most treasured Divine Weapon left behind by Demon Sovereign Mang Cang.
Even until now, the Demon Sword was like an ice goddess that could only be admired from afar and could not be touched.
Compared to the previous 14 people who had comprehended the Battle Law, Ying Jie was not particularly outstanding.
However, who knew?
The goddess that even Mr. Perfect couldn't woo might end up marrying an ordinary and honest man.
This kind of thing was all about finding the right person.
Ying Jie's heart could not help but heat up at this moment.
It was impossible to say that he did not want to control the Demon Sword.
Who would not like a goddess? Who would not want to have one?
"Let's go and give it a try." The Demon Venerable under Chi Zun said.
Great Flame Demon Master looked at him encouragingly.
"Then I'll go and try," Ying Jie said.
"Go," Shi Wu Demon Sovereign said.
Ying Jie nodded solemnly and walked toward the Sword Management Terrace.
Everyone's eyes focused on him again.
As he stepped to the edge of the Sword Management Terrace.
The six Battle Law Steles glowed at the same time, and a mysterious divine power was generated from the Battle Law Steles.
Then, the divine power flowed along the Battle Law Steles to the ground. Like flowing lightning, it spread rapidly on the ground layer by layer.
Lines of secret inscriptions appeared on the ground. The divine power flowed through the inscriptions like a river and lit up the entire Sword Management Terrace.
Ying Jie took another step forward and stepped heavily on the lit ground.
Ripples spread out with Ying Jie's feet as the center.
He did not care about the changes under his feet and looked at the hovering Demon Sword not far away. He swallowed his saliva and was extremely nervous. His expression was solemn.
"Can I?"
In theory, there was a high probability that he could not. After all, no one had succeeded so far.
However, everyone had this problem. They always felt that they were different. Others could not do it, but it did not mean that they could not do it.
Ying Jie thought so too.
He approached the center of the Sword Management Terrace step by step.
"It's talking to me?"
As he got closer, Ying Jie suddenly felt a wave of energy coming from the Demon Sword. It seemed to be communicating with him.
He suddenly became excited, and his face turned red.
"Could it be that I'm the destined person?"
"That must be it. The 14 seniors who comprehended the Battle Law Steles before me never said that the Demon Sword released a thought wave to them."
"In other words, I'm the only one who can make the Demon Sword move." Every pore on his body stood on end as this thought appeared in his mind. He was so excited that his body could not help but tremble.
He continued to approach.
The thought wave from the Demon Sword became clearer and clearer.
Ying Jie could feel that the Demon Sword was in high spirits and was urgently "calling" him.
"It must be very satisfied with me. Otherwise, why would its emotions be so strong?"
He suppressed his excitement and quickened his pace. In just a few steps, he had already crossed the short distance and arrived in front of the Demon Sword.
Without any hesitation, he reached out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the Demon Sword with incomparable excitement, a beautiful fantasy of success in the future, and a strong sense of pride and confidence.
"I am the new master chosen by the Demon Sword, the future invincible Demon Venerable!"
However, when his fingertips were thirty to forty centimeters away from the hilt of the Demon Sword, a vast wave suddenly erupted from the body of the Demon Sword.
This wave carried an enormous majesty, as if a king was looking down on his subjects, releasing an aura that made his soul tremble.
An invisible force instantly descended, like a shock wave, and struck his body.
Bang!
Ying Jie, who was a Rank-8, had no ability to resist this powerful wave. His entire body was sent flying.
The moment he was sent flying, Ying Jie, who was close enough to the Demon Sword, finally clearly sensed the meaning of the thought wave transmitted by the Demon Sword.
"You idiot, don't touch me!"
A trace of confusion flashed in Ying Jie's eyes. He suspected that he had misheard and began to doubt his life.
The impact was too strong. He only managed to stabilize himself after flying out of the Sword Management Terrace.
He staggered his steps and straightened his body. His mind had not yet recovered from the shock, and he stared fixedly at the black long sword floating quietly in the center of the Sword Management Terrace.
The Demon Sword was still the same as it had been for hundreds of thousands of years. It did not move, as if nothing had happened.
However, when Ying Jie thought of the thought wave he had just felt, he immediately felt an inexplicable sense of mockery from this clan's divine weapon.
It did not cause much damage, but it was extremely insulting.
At this moment, all the secret inscriptions in the Sword Management Terrace dimmed in the blink of an eye and returned to normal.
"Still failed." In the pin-drop silence of the square, a long sigh finally sounded.
Yes, Ying Jie had failed. He could not control the Demon Sword.
However, this was within everyone's expectations, so they were not surprised.
If Ying Jie had really succeeded, it would be a big deal.
Seeing this, Shi Wu Demon Venerable also sighed, but he was not too disappointed.
Ying Jie being able to comprehend the Battle Technique Stele was already a huge surprise. He was not that greedy.
"Did the Demon Sword say anything to you?" The Demon Venerable under Chi Zun quickly stepped forward and asked Ying Jie about the situation.
The Devil Sword had a spirit, this was something that the Royal Clan was well aware of.
After so many years, no one had been able to control the Demon Sword because they had not been recognized by the Demon Sword.
They had been actively trying to find out what kind of master the Demon Sword wanted.
Unfortunately, the Demon Sword was sealed in the center of the Sword Management Terrace. Bystanders could not get close to it, nor could they communicate with it.
Only the 15 people who had comprehended the Battle Technique Stele could enter the Sword Management Terrace and come into contact with the Demon Sword. They might even obtain some information from it.
Therefore, he immediately asked Ying Jie, hoping to obtain some useful information.
"Did it say anything to me?" Ying Jie muttered. The words "don't touch me" appeared in his mind again.
He was silent for a while, then finally said, "No, the Demon Sword did not say anything to me."
At this moment, Ying Jie finally understood why the previous 14 seniors had "not" felt the Demon Sword's thought wave.
He was not the only one …
It was just the emperor's new clothes.
"Sigh, it's like this again." The Demon Venerable under Chi Zun did not comment and could only helplessly shake his head.
It was the same ending.
According to the records, the previous 14 Demon Cultivators who had comprehended the Battle Technique Stele had said the same thing.
The Demon Sword rejected them and did not say anything to them.
He quickly regained his senses and encouraged Ying Jie, "Don't be disappointed. This is a small matter. Comprehending the Misty Battle Technique is the most important thing!"
Ying Jie, whose good mood had been ruined by the Demon Sword, forced a smile and nodded slightly in response.
.....
…
In the next few days, the news of Ying Jie comprehending the Misty Battle Technique caused an uproar in Jianluo Imperial City.
The news was unprecedented. Everything else, including Qing Ge's attack, quickly lost interest. No one talked about it anymore.
Everyone turned their attention to Ying Jie.
In these few days, the Shi Wu Clan was extremely lively. All the major families and Demons sent people to congratulate him.
Ying Jie had already left the Sword Management Terrace.
The punishment of guarding the sacred ground was naturally canceled.
The Shi Wu Demon Venerable's decision to cut off Ying Jie's share of Blood Spirit Crystals was also canceled. His share was even doubled.
In the Shi Wu Clan, there were still many close relatives who were close to Ying Jun. They privately discussed Ying Jie's treachery and suspected him of framing Ying Jun. They were quite critical of him.
Now, no one would be tactless enough to mention this matter again.
Even if Ying Jie had ordered Ying Jun to be killed, so what?
How could a dead Ying Jun compare to Ying Jie, who now carried the hopes of revitalizing the Shi Wu Clan?
If they still dared to harp on this matter, the Shi Wu Demon Venerable and the Great Blaze Demon Master might stand out and punish them before Ying Jie could say anything.
Now that Ying Jie was in the limelight, who would dare to go against him?
.....
Ying Jie had comprehended the Battle Technique Stele's mysteries.
Lu Qingshan quickly received the news. He frowned.
"He's indeed extraordinary. Not only is he scheming and ruthless, but he also has this kind of ability."
Ying Jie was already an exceptionally troublesome enemy to him.
Now, he was several times more troublesome.
A Rank-8 pure-blooded Soldier Devil, the only heir of the Shi Wu Clan, and had comprehended the Misty Battle Technique.
What about this stack of halos?
"I really can't do anything to him." Lu Qingshan thought for a long time and shook his head.
He was not an immortal.
There was a huge gap between him and Ying Jie in terms of strength and status.
He could not think of a way to make up for this gap.
Moreover, his main mission in the Demon Domain was to save Qin Yitian.
Lu Qingshan knew what was more important.
He had to put more effort into the Demon Sword, and not go all out to fight Ying Jie to the death to regain his dignity.
A sword cultivator would rather go straight than go in circles. That was true, but it was not stubborn.
A sword cultivator's "straight" was his belief.
If he pursued "straight" in everything he did, there was something wrong with his brain.
"It'll be the Demons' Day of Ancestral Worship in a few days. That'll be my chance to come into contact with the Demon Sword."
Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth and made a decision. "I'll keep a low profile for the next few days. I'll stay in my residence and not go out."
However, would the wind stop when the tree wants to be still?
