Chapter 46: The Seven Realms of the Evil God!
“The Heavenly Poison Pearl… it actually has this kind of ability!” Mo Li stared at Yun Che’s left hand, speaking in surprise.
“Strictly speaking, this is not entirely the ability of the Heavenly Poison Pearl.” A hint of pride appeared on Yun Che’s face: “Even without the Heavenly Poison Pearl, as long as I find the right purifying pill, I also have a way to open all the Xuan Gates. It would just take much more effort and time.”
“You?” Mo Li’s gaze was very skeptical.
“Did I not tell you that I am a divine physician? As a divine physician, of course I have to understand all the internal and external aspects of the human body. I am far too familiar with things like Xuan Veins. In this life, I have opened no less than ten thousand Xuan Gates—at least eight thousand. Starting three years before my master left me, I have never failed in opening Xuan Gates. And coincidentally, the Heavenly Poison Pearl has a purifying ability that even high-grade pills cannot match. Using this ability to open Xuan Gates is completely simple.”
Yun Che spoke very lightly, so lightly that even the emotion of confidence was absent, as if he were narrating an extremely ordinary trivial matter. This made it impossible for Mo Li to feel any doubt. She stared at Yun Che for a long time before speaking in a low voice: “You really are a strange fellow. However, do you think that having all Xuan Gates opened is truly something remarkable? Just your foundation alone has already fallen far behind others!”
Yun Che was completely unconcerned by Mo Li’s cold water. He directly asked, “You said just now that after all fifty-four Xuan Gates in this Xuan Vein are opened, it would reveal its unique ability. Why don’t I feel anything at all?”
“Take a closer look at your Xuan Vein now,” Mo Li said.
“Hm?”
Yun Che closed his eyes and began examining his newborn Xuan Vein internally again. All fifty-four Xuan Gates were already opened. Although the Xuan Vein was empty, the aura was extremely pure. Yun Che carefully probed, and suddenly, he began to feel a sense of incongruity. The next second, his attention was firmly locked onto the very center of the Xuan Vein…
The Xuan Vein within the human body was like a thriving tree, with dozens of “branches” irregularly extending in all directions. Each “branch” had a Xuan Gate. And its “trunk” was the most important core part of the entire Xuan Vein, the foundation. On this foundation, there were no Xuan Gates.
But now, he was shocked to discover that seven marks resembling Xuan Gates had appeared in the core area of his Xuan Vein, arranged in a standard pattern resembling the Big Dipper.
They looked like Xuan Gates, but the feeling was very different from Xuan Gates. Their colors were dim, and the place where they appeared directly shattered Yun Che’s understanding, making him astonished.
“Why are there seven extra Xuan Gates?” Yun Che opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
“No, those are not Xuan Gates.” Mo Li said calmly, “They are the seven Realm Gates used to unlock the seven realms of the Evil God Art!”
“Realm… Gates?” Yun Che had heard this term for the first time.
“The Xuan Vein bestowed upon you by the Undying Blood is no different from ordinary Xuan Veins in other aspects. But the essential difference lies in it bearing the exclusive profound art of the Evil God—the Evil God Art! This profound art has a total of seven realms. It does not require you to cultivate it; instead, it exists directly within your Xuan Vein. Every time the Evil God Art advances a realm, a Realm Gate will open… No! It should be said the other way around: every time you open a Realm Gate, the Evil God Art will correspondingly advance a realm! At the same time, each realm of the Evil God Art corresponds to a powerful Evil God profound skill! I say this—do you understand?” Mo Li said slowly.
Yun Che: “…”
Of course, Yun Che understood the concepts of profound arts and profound skills. On the Tian Xuan Continent, more than half of the Xuan practitioners had only pure profound force and no profound art at all. There were many types of profound arts, but none could directly enhance profound force. Some could change the nature of profound force or its operation method… for example, the Bing Yun Fairy Palace’s Ice Cloud Art: its function was to make the profound force icy cold. The higher the realm of the Ice Cloud Art, the more frigid the profound force and aura would become. It was rumored that when cultivated to the extreme, it could instantly freeze a hundred miles. Similarly, one of the Four Great Sects, the Fen Tian Gate, had the profound art “Fen Tian Art,” which also changed the nature of profound force but in the opposite direction of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace. Its function was to make the profound force and aura scorching hot. When cultivated to a high realm, it was said that one could melt weapons with bare hands.
There were also profound arts that were not used during the execution of profound force but to assist in the cultivation of profound force, etc… For example, there was an evil Yin-Yang Union Joy Art that allowed people to enhance their own profound force through male-female intercourse.
Profound arts generally existed within sect or clan inheritance and were not passed on to outsiders. Solitary cultivators rarely had profound arts. The Xiao Sect had no clan profound art, and its ancestors only left behind some profound skills of mediocre power.
As for profound skills, as the name implied, they were a class of skills that could unleash greater power through various methods using profound force. Some profound skills required a specific profound art to be activated.
“So, you mean I can now use the… ‘Evil God Art’ you mentioned?” Yun Che asked in amazement.
“Exactly!” Mo Li nodded, “Your Xuan Vein is empty right now, so of course you don’t feel it. Once you have profound force, you will naturally sense the existence of this Evil God profound art.”
“…You also said just now that this ‘Evil God Art’ does not require me to cultivate it. Each time a Realm Gate is opened, the Evil God Art advances a realm. So, how are the Realm Gates opened?” Yun Che asked tentatively. He had never encountered the concept of “Realm Gates” before, so he dared not act rashly. And if the method to open them was similar to Xuan Gates, then he could open all of them in a short time with extreme ease, allowing the Evil God Art to reach its highest realm in one go! This was impossible for others, but for him, it was truly a piece of cake!
“Very simple—a thousand times simpler than opening Xuan Gates!” Mo Li laughed, but her smile was very eerie. The content of her words made Yun Che freeze: “It is your own Xuan Vein. If you want it to open, it will naturally open… If you are willing, just move your mind, and all seven Realm Gates will open completely!”
Just… move my mind?
Then all seven Realm Gates open… and the Evil God Art directly reaches its highest realm?
But looking at Mo Li’s obviously dangerous smile, Yun Che naturally dared not believe it. He asked weakly, “Is it really that simple?”
“Yes, it is that simple. But the consequences would be terrible… You will die! You will instantly explode and die!” Mo Li said in a low voice.
Yun Che’s mouth slightly opened.
“The ability attribute of the ‘Evil God Art’ is ‘Berserk’. The first realm: [Evil Soul]; the second realm: [Heart Incineration]; the third realm: [Heaven-Shattering]; the fourth realm: [Purgatory]; the fifth realm: [Yama King].”
Mo Li’s voice paused here. Yun Che immediately asked impatiently, “What about the sixth and seventh realms? Why would I die if I use it?”
“This princess does not know about the sixth and seventh realms either. The memory imprint of that drop of Undying Blood only records up to the fifth realm. Presumably, when the Evil God left the Undying Blood, he was sure that for a human body and power, being able to open the fifth realm of the Evil God Art was already the ultimate limit. Unless one was courting death, it would be fundamentally impossible to ever have a time to open the sixth Realm Gate. So, he directly left no information about the sixth and seventh realms… Because opening one Realm Gate raises the realm of the Evil God Art by one level, and with it, the pressure on your body increases explosively! If you forcibly elevate the Evil God Art to a realm your body cannot withstand, at the very least, you will suffer severe injuries and lose vitality; at worst, your Xuan Vein will explode, and your body will shatter and die!”
“With your current body, even opening the first Realm Gate would cause you to explode and die instantly!”
“…So terrifying? What does the ‘Berserk’ attribute of the Evil God Art mean? To what extent must I be to use it?” Yun Che asked.
Mo Li glanced sideways at him, a hint of contempt flashing across her delicate face: “Don’t you think it’s too early for you to ask such questions? Your Xuan Vein is reborn now, without a shred of profound force, and you’re already daydreaming about reaching the sky in a single bound?”
“…Alright, you’re right.” Yun Che did not argue and did not continue pressing. He completely shifted his attention away from those Realm Gates. Taking a deep breath, he said, “Although it’s a bit late, I will absolutely not let this Xuan Vein from the Evil God go to waste! I will begin cultivating right now!”
“Growl…”
Just as Yun Che was full of determination, an untimely sound came from his stomach, instantly deflating the momentum he had just gathered. He had not eaten anything for an entire night and half a morning, and he was already famished.
“Since you are so familiar with Xuan Veins, you shouldn’t need this princess to teach you how to enter the Initial Xuan Realm. This princess must now return to the Heavenly Poison Pearl. For three days, do not disturb me.”
Mo Li had repeatedly made moves earlier, suffering a fierce backlash from the poison. Although suppressed by the Heavenly Poison Pearl, the poison had also penetrated deeper into her soul. If she did not purify it through the Heavenly Poison Pearl, it might spread to the source of her spirit. At that point, even the Heavenly Poison Pearl would not be able to save her.
“Wait a moment, I still have a few questions I’ve always wanted to ask… You keep calling yourself ‘this princess.’ Could you be an imperial princess of some empire… Hey!!”
Before Yun Che could finish his question, Mo Li’s body vanished, turning into a streak of crimson light that entered the Heavenly Poison Pearl.
Although his stomach was growling with hunger, he could no longer return to Qinglin Town. By now, Xiao Kuangyun and his group had probably discovered the gruesome deaths of Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, and would inevitably think that their deaths were related to him. If he encountered them, with his current body that had no profound force, he would surely die.
After pondering for a while, he gazed at this mountain range that stretched endlessly into the distance. Gritting his teeth, he quickly walked in the direction opposite to Qinglin Town.
The path of Xuan cultivation in this life would begin right here in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range!
