Chapter 547: Heavenly Star Fate Nourishing Essence Method, Setting Off for Western Extreme Capital

Random Recommendation:

He beckoned with his right hand. The demonic scroll quickly converged, transforming into a scroll that landed in Wang Yu's palm. A dense aura of malevolent Heavenly Demons emanated from it, like bait. Most importantly, it was imbued with a strong aura of cultivators—the effect of the Myriad Demon Skin, which was refined from the hides of one Spirit Transformation cultivator and numerous Nascent Soul cultivators. It was like a favorite vessel for Heavenly Demons, drawing them one after another into the scroll. With the demonic treasure newly completed, Wang Yu naturally had to test its effects.

As demonic essence flowed into it, a peculiar fluctuation flickered and vanished. Within the demonic scroll, a faint spirituality appeared, the spirit of the artifact born to mimic the Six Desires Heavenly Demon. This spirituality was key to sealing living Heavenly Demons. As the refiner, he could naturally make the artifact spirit acknowledge him as its master. At this moment, it served another purpose—command! The Demonic Master commanded, decreeing the Heavenly Demons to swiftly enter the scroll. Combined with the bait's effect, this was bound to be unfailingly effective. A rift, invisible to ordinary people, suddenly opened above the demonic treasure. Formless, incorporeal Heavenly Demons immediately gained physical form the moment they entered the scroll.

Wang Yu's eyes lit up.

"A Sorrowful Sea Heavenly Demon?" Heavenly Demons are born from the emotions of all beings, and there are many types. At this moment, besides the Six Desires Heavenly Demon embracing in the center, another demonic figure appeared within its embrace in the scroll. Its lower body was like ethereal, formless mist, while its upper body was robust and greenish-black. Its face was grotesque like a malevolent ghost, with eyebrows and eyes curving downwards exaggeratedly, as if perpetually weeping. It exuded a strange and eerie aura, causing a chilling unease in those who beheld it. A dense sorrow emanated through the scroll, influencing the surroundings, but Wang Yu dispelled its effects with a mere thought.

Upon sensing the effects spurred by the Sorrowful Sea Heavenly Demon's capture, the curve of his lips widened. "—Boundless Sea of Sorrow!" The first profound ability of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Scroll was the ability to select an area and cover it with an invisible Sea of Sorrow. Within it, Wang Yu could gain the property of being formlessly dispersed and reassembled. This allowed him to appear and disappear unpredictably, unaffected by ordinary divine abilities. In other words, it granted him limitless spatial displacement and nearly ninety percent immunity to magical powers and divine abilities, giving him a significant advantage even against opponents of the same cultivation level. Especially with its 'boundless' characteristic, cultivators trapped within it would feel as if they were submerged in an endless sea of sorrow, making it extremely difficult to break free from within, unless they possessed an exceptionally strong Dao Heart. Otherwise, the best solution was to break it from the outside. This demonic treasure's divine ability solved a weakness for Wang Yu; he had always lacked the ability to restrain enemies. Now, with this effect combined with the Chains of Heaven, even early to mid-Spirit Transformation cultivators would likely be unable to escape. And in one-on-one combat, he had never lost!

"This is only the first Heavenly Demon," he murmured to himself. "If I gather all six and form the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Dao divine ability, the power of this demonic treasure will truly be formidable." Wang Yu then put away the demonic scroll. One cannot continuously fish for Heavenly Demons in the same location, as it could alert the Demonic Lords of the Heavenly Demon Realm. This was another hidden danger of the treasure, fortunately clearly explained in the refining diagrams. As for fishing for young Heavenly Demons, he was not in a hurry. He needed to study it further for a while, and only after confirming there were no issues would he implement his rearing plan.

Less than five days after Wang Yu emerged from seclusion, Dou Zhao returned from the north, appearing confident and composed. He approached Wang Yu, head held high, and declared, "Master, Zhao'er has not failed your expectations; I have successfully obtained the cultivation secret technique."

"Oh?"

Wang Yu was still immersed in a long-awaited state of relaxation. He leisurely pushed open the door, and through the gap, one could see several red sleeves and undergarments strewn haphazardly on the floor. Such oblivious behavior was certainly not Wang Yu's usual style. With a sage-like expression, he noticed Dou Zhao's questioning gaze and chuckled. "I tested the profound mysteries of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Sutra. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier dual cultivation demonic art. Its essence-gathering technique is truly miraculous, capable of absorbing cultivation experience and divine ability memories from the opposite sex. It can bypass the shielding of most restrictions. It's truly a waste that the Joyful Union Sect discarded it like a worn-out shoe."

As soon as these words were spoken, Dou Zhao had yet to respond, when Xue Yu eagerly leaped out of the Monster Locking Bracelet, exclaiming excitedly, "There's actually such a divine art in the world? Master, I want you to help me cultivate!"

Wang Yu was speechless. This alluring fox was practically evolving into Superwoman Jade, constantly thinking about such matters. He said helplessly, "This is the effect of essence gathering. Why... do you want to drain me dry?"

Xue Yu froze for a moment, then gave an embarrassed smile.

Dou Zhao below watched the interaction between master and servant, feeling a pang of jealousy and not quite understanding his own position in Wang Yu's eyes. He simply took out the copied spiritual jade slip and the recording orb. He said concisely, "This method is called the 'Heavenly Star Controller of Fates Primordial Soul Nurturing Art.' It has extraordinary effects for cultivating the primordial spirit, but its difficulty is considerable."

"No matter." Wang Yu used his demonic essence to guide it, and after a brief examination, he decisively cleared a slot in his placement interface, directly experiencing the marvelous effects of the Primordial Soul cultivation method.

Placement Slot 7: Heavenly Star Controller of Fates Primordial Soul Nurturing Art (Fifth-tier / Primordial Soul Cultivation)'Heavenly Star Controller of Fates Primordial Soul Nurturing Art (0/100): One practice per ten days, perfected in a hundred years!'

"A hundred years, huh..." The first feedback would take ten days, so Wang Yu was in no hurry. After checking Dou Zhao's cultivation progress, he said, "Your cultivation progress is good. In a few days, I will impart to you the Grand Dao of Human Pills. You can capture those talented individuals from the Crimson Kite Golden Core families to practice alchemy. Remember, target those Golden Core families whose members have died on the battlefield front lines. If unforeseen circumstances arise, use this talisman treasure to suppress and kill them!" Time had passed. Wang Yu was now someone who could bestow talisman treasures. While making them would consume the origin of a magic treasure, he had an abundance of spare fourth-tier magic treasures. Choosing some, draining them, and refining them into talisman treasures to reward his subordinates was a good idea; they could all become life-saving trump cards for lower-level cultivators. As his disciple, Dou Zhao had never lacked various trump cards. He even possessed a fifth-tier talisman treasure from the Glazed Pagoda, equivalent to an attack from a Spirit Transformation cultivator. Throughout the entire Ice Prison Realm, who else doted on their disciple like him? Wang Yu's arrangement for Dou Zhao had always been simple. He treated him like a disciple in daily life, providing all necessary cultivation, but if disaster befell him, Dou Zhao would be his contingency for revival. Did he truly believe the Demonic Embryo Profound Origin Secret Art was so easy to cultivate? Moreover, what Dou Zhao absorbed during cultivation was the malevolent Heavenly Demon essence that Wang Yu had refined. Every move of Dou Zhao was under his control, serving as another life-saving contingency for himself. All gifts had long been subtly priced. If Dou Zhao could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he would certainly be useful in the future.

"By the way, in a few days, go to the Guiyin Demonic Palace and give this item to Demonic Monarch Guiyin's eldest disciple." He hadn't seen this good brother for some time. He had successfully broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, becoming one of the few grand cultivators in this realm. Due to Wang Yu's protection, he hadn't participated in the frontline battles of the righteous-demonic war. He was currently mainly active in the Wind-Sand Gobi region of the Taihu Spirit Domain. According to occasional reports, he seemed to have discovered a rare ancient relic. The communication was about having Guiyin Demonic Palace join the frontline battle at Crane's Return Valley. Wang Yu was prepared and decided to make a trip there. The outcome of the distress signal trap from two years ago had been revealed. It was said that a Void Beast had appeared, but it was ensnared by the reversal grand formation set up by the Heaven-Refining Demonic Venerable, who wielded the Ancestral Earth Token. The greatest advantage of Feng Shui mysticism over formation arrays was its adaptability to local conditions; even without suitable spiritual objects, ordinary items with equivalent symbolism could be substituted. Even a grain of sand or a leaf could generate a Feng Shui array. What's more, with the Ancestral Token's blessing, the Void Beast's arrival coordinates were miscalculated. When it arrived by tearing through space, its landing point turned out to be the central formation node of Crane's Return Valley. The spatial storm directly evolved into an even more turbulent spatial tide, almost completely destroying Crane's Return Valley and causing the deaths of many Nascent Soul cultivators. This allowed the Demonic Dao Alliance to seize the opportunity, capturing the core territory of Crane's Return Valley in one fell swoop. They were currently sweeping through Pine Fragrance Continent, the northernmost region of the enemy. Their next target was none other than the last hegemon of the Seven Righteous Sects—the Blazing Sun Sect!

As for the Northern Suppression Pagoda, it was like a joke, much like the Ice Clan. It had long since retreated from the frontline stage of the Ice Prison Realm. Lacking a Spirit Transformation expert to oversee it, it was destined to be a mere clown-like force, unless the technique for cultivating the Son of the Ice God underwent a qualitative change. Otherwise, it had no capacity to participate in the final decisive battle. As for the Blood Demon Palace Master and the Yellow Springs Demonic Venerable, their situations were even worse. The Blood Demon Palace Master had died once, but revived in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's sacred land, the Blood Abyss, relying on the characteristic of the blood dao in the ancient Blood Demon Scripture: an undying primordial spirit as long as the sea of blood does not dry. This was originally the most powerful ability of Blood Dao cultivators—Immortality! However, the Blood Demon Palace Master's method of achieving Spirit Transformation was rather unique; he had completely followed the path designed by the Ancient Blood Demon. And he had revived in the Blood Abyss. Though he appeared the same, his personality had subtly changed, something he himself hadn't noticed. He had originally desired the Primordial Soul cultivation secret technique of Crane's Return Valley. Now that he had it, he rarely practiced it. Instead, he was single-mindedly researching the Blood Demon Seal deep within the Blood Abyss, his intentions self-evident. This change was so subtle that even if someone pointed it out, his consciousness would find it hard to perceive the problem, and might even react excessively, leading to conflict. This showed that the Blood Demon's demonic corruption was more unique than that of the Ancient Life Demon.

As he processed the intelligence, Wang Yu casually popped a spiritual fruit that nourished vitality into his mouth, savoring the satisfaction of body maintenance. The reason he intended to visit Crane's Return Valley was that this incident had exposed the Western Capital Ruins, controlled by Crane's Return Valley, and that area had now fallen into the hands of the Demonic Dao Alliance. Aside from other things, the Underground Extreme Yin Dragon King alone made the trip worthwhile. The Extreme Yin Dragon Pearl formed from it was precisely the cultivation resource for Spirit Transformation cultivators. It was a resource cultivated by the ancient Second Human Emperor for himself. Unfortunately, the Immortal Dynasty perished after two generations, before it could even be used, which conveniently benefited later cultivators like them. Besides the Extreme Yin Dragon Pearl, which he was determined to obtain, the Star Tower and the Immortal Official's Medicine Vault in the Western Capital were also very valuable. He wasn't sure how much Crane's Return Valley had developed it, but in any case, making the trip wouldn't be wrong. He was currently in need of resources to accelerate his Spirit Transformation cultivation.

And so. Ten days later, the first wave of feedback from the Heavenly Star Controller of Fates Primordial Soul Nurturing Art arrived. As the saying goes: the Southern Dipper governs life, and the Northern Dipper governs death. This marvelous method harvested the life and death essence of the stars to nourish one's primordial spirit. This was inherently a very dangerous act. In the past, Wang Yu had once used the essence of death to scheme against a Golden Core True Person whose lifespan had reached its limit, and that was merely human death essence. Its quality was considered the lowest. How immense was the death of a star? Without exaggeration, if Wang Yu dared to cultivate this with his true body, the Northern Dipper's death essence could instantly obliterate his primordial spirit completely. Using such extremely dangerous power for cultivation was indeed a bizarre idea, and drawing in the star's life and death essence was very difficult, several times harder than drawing in starlight. Accidents were very prone to happen. Wang Yu had his placement interface. No matter what divine ability or marvelous method it was, nothing was uncultivable with the placement interface, only varying speeds. Or rather, in the judgment of the placement interface, as long as it was placed in a slot, it was considered to be in an 'introductory' state by default. Moreover, each cultivation session was guaranteed to succeed, and only then would the cultivation results and experience gained during the process be fully fed back to Wang Yu, the main body. This was the true reason for his rapid progress in various divine abilities and marvelous methods!

As the first feedback arrived, Wang Yu's consciousness sank into his body. His vast primordial spirit coursed through the three major centers within him, allowing his essence, qi, and spirit—the three treasures—to converge, and something was brewing in his chest. That was a critical point for the future Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit. It was still far off, but some signs were already manifesting. The life-and-death millstone described in the Heavenly Star Controller of Fates Primordial Soul Nurturing Art did not appear within him. What was fed back was the essence generated from the chaotic blend of life and death, directly flowing into his primordial spirit, causing its size to continuously shrink and his pale golden primordial spirit to evolve towards a brilliant gold. Just one cultivation feedback session increased his primordial spirit's strength by a tenth, showing just how top-tier this marvelous method truly was. Even without the Heavenly Star Treasure Pill, he could still cultivate it. In fact, he was significantly faster than those who cultivated this method normally, because others needed time to recover from primordial spirit injuries, possibly only attempting it once a year. Wang Yu, however, not only enjoyed the top-tier cultivation effects but also didn't have to worry about side effects. Once every ten days, in three years, his primordial spirit would reach the critical point for breaking through to the mid-stage. This would be sufficient to allow multiple law intents to enter his primordial spirit, enabling him to begin integrating and comprehending the power of the Spirit Transformation realm's insights. In terms of cultivation, he was truly enjoying all the benefits. At the same time, cultivating this marvelous method also deepened his understanding of life and death essence. A unique inspiration merged with his Soul-Destroying Death Ray, allowing him to grasp an opportunity for further advancement. With a few more attempts, the secrets of death essence might integrate into his Death Ray divine ability, giving him another trump card—a truly pleasant surprise.

After fully comprehending the feedback from the first cultivation of the marvelous method, Wang Yu's rewards for Dou Zhao increased. Following this, he asserted his authority within the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, gradually marginalizing the Blood Demon Palace Master's subordinates from the core power structure. During this process, Ice Soul Fairy became one of his core subordinates. This formerly aloof grand cultivator had now become someone he could manipulate at will. Having benefited from the dual cultivation treasure pill years ago, she had finally reached the Grand Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage after years of secluded cultivation. Naturally, she began to set her sights on Spirit Transformation. Her goal was very clear: Wang Yu's fundamental cultivation method! As a fellow cultivator of the Ice Path, she knew very well that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect lacked a corresponding fifth-tier cultivation method, and Wang Yu's breakthrough must have solved this problem. Therefore, Ice Soul Fairy had practically become his loyal devotee. Her desire was to obtain the Ice Dao Spirit Transformation legacy. In just half a year, the entire Reverse Spirit Blood Sect completely fell under Wang Yu's control.

On this day,—*Pop!*
