The ck bird spat on Fang Lixing’s face.
Soon after, Fang Lixing shook off his unconscious state and opened his eyes.
Xu Ning found this scene bizarre. The ck bird’s saliva seemed to beparable to some top-grade healing pills.
“You have passed the Red Sea Demon Lord’s assessment, and the remaining inheritances are the demonic technique and the demon essence. Which one do you choose?”
After seeing Fang Lixing wake up, the ck bird asked Fang Lixing.
<i>‘The demon essence was not selected…’</i>
Fang Lixing, who had just regained consciousness, was overjoyed.
He looked at Xu Ning. This person seemed to be uninterested in the demonic path.
“I choose the demon essence!”
Fang Lixing stood up with difficulty.
The ck bird’s stomach contracted again and its mouth widened.
This time, it spat out a ck bottle.
“The demon essence is inside. Once your injuries arepletely healed, you can take it.”
The ck bird said, “Keep this ck bottle properly. If you have the opportunity toe to State Wansheng in the future, you can join the Red Sea Demon Sect with this token.”
<i>‘I can even join the Red Sea Demon Sect!’</i>
Fang Lixing’s ancestor was a follower of Red Sea Demon Lord, so his reverence for Red Sea Demon Lord was deeply rooted in his mind.
“Okay, if fate allows it, we will meet again in State Wansheng!”
The ck bird first nced at the void stairs, then it circled around before returning to the stone stage and turning back into a stone statue.
<i>‘Meet again in State Wansheng?’</i>
Xu Ning felt that the ck bird’s words were interesting.
It had obviously turned into a stone statue here, so why did he say that they would meet again in State Wansheng?
However, Xu Ning did not pursue the matter.
He nced at Fang Lixing.
Fang Lixing also noticed Xu Ning’s gaze, so he looked at Xu Ning nervously.
He had the demon essence in his hand, and with his current condition, he was definitely not Xu Ning’s opponent.
If Xu Ning wanted to snatch the demon essence from him, he wouldn’t be able to resist at all.
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not interested in your demon essence.”
Xu Ning exined.
Chu Yeyang had told Xu Ning that a demon essence was a kind of demonic power that could only be condensed by a high level dao realm master.
Unless Xu Ning switched to the demonic path in the future, this demon essence was useless to him.
<i>‘I was too cautious.’</i>
Fang Lixing nodded slightly.
Although Fang Lixing didn’t know Xu Ning’s identity, he had a good impression of Xu Ning.
“Sir, I have a question. Can you solve my doubt?”
Xu Ning thought about it and asked Fang Lixing.
As he asked, Xu Ning took out a healing pill and threw it to Fang Lixing.
Fang Lixing took it, hesitated for a moment, and chose to swallow it. Although the ck bird’s saliva woke him up, his injuries had not healed yet.
If this person wanted to harm him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
“Go ahead and ask.”
After swallowing the pill, Fang Lixing had basically gotten rid of any ill-feeling he had for Xu Ning.
He was afraid of Xu Ning previously because he was afraid that Xu Ning would be angry at him because of Chu Yeyang.
Now it seemed that Xu Ning was not an unreasonable person.
“You seem to be a demonic path martial artist?”
Xu Ning asked, “But I don’t seem to feel the brutality and murderous intent of a demonic path martial artist from you.”
Xu Ning hade into contact with too many people from the demonic path. Whether they were mortal realm warriors or void realm martial artists, they all had a strong negative aura.
Even Feng Changge, a half-step dao realm master, couldn’t hide his negative aura.
But Xu Ning could not sense any negative aura from Fang Lixing, Jian Li, or even Chu Yeyang.
This was why Xu Ning was quite polite to Fang Lixing.
When he was asked this, Fang Lixing smiled and straightened his back.
“My ancestor was once a follower of the Red Sea Demon Lord, so what we inherited was the pure demonic path.”
Fang Lixing said.
“Pure demonic path?”
Xu Ning narrowed his eyes, a little puzzled. “Is there an impure demonic path?”
Fang Lixing smiled. “In the seventeen states of the Abyss North, most demonic martial artists and demonic masters walk the wrong path.”
“All martial arts in the world originated from State Wansheng.”
Fang Lixing said, “In the beginning, the essence of martial arts is defined as the development of one’s own potential. Anyone who is suitable to practice martial arts can disy their talents on this path.”
“But at the same time, there are also some people who yearn for top-level martial arts, but they are limited to their own aptitude, so they take the unconventional path. They abandon the original martial arts system and open up a new path. This is the elementary form of the demonic path system.”
“Traditional martial arts use one’s martial arts potential, but the demonic path uses special methods to increase the upper limit of those with limited potential.”
Xu Ning said, “The special methods you are talking about are demonic techniques, secret scrolls, and the like?”
“That’s right.”
Fang Lixing said, “Through them, demonic path martial artists in the initial stages can make up for theirck of aptitude, surpassing traditional martial artists.”
“Of course, because of the radical nature of the demonic path, it carries a high risk. At the beginning of the development of the demonic path, the system was notplete, and many people could not withstand the bacsh of the demonic path cultivation technique, causing them to be seriously injured, lose their minds, and even die. This negative effect was continuously refined after thousands of years of development before it turned into a stable martial arts path.”
“What we practice is this kind of demonic path. Although it is still risky, it can increase our upper limit and speed up our cultivation. Moreover, because our martial arts system is rtivelyplete, the probability of suffering a bacsh is rtively low.”
“However…”
Fang Lixing changed the topic. “Aplete demonic path system has been refined and perfected over many years, so it is basically regarded as a treasure by all parties. Thus, it is usually not imparted to outsiders.”
“And in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, most of the demonic martial artists and masters we see are essentially harmful to humans. Their demonic techniques are not used to develop their own upper limit, but to ughter and harm others for their own benefits.”
“These people are all relying on external forces. The foundation of their martial arts is very unstable, and it is difficult for them to advance even an inch.”
Fang Lixing’s words reminded Xu Ning of Feng Changge’s refinement method of the Demon Blood Great Pill.
The blood required to refine the Demon Blood Great Pill was the blood of a high level void realm demon beast, but Feng Changge took matters into his own hands and added human blood.
He was a typical demonic path martial artist who used an orthodox demonic technique to cultivate unorthodoxly.
“I see…”
Xu Ning said with many thoughts in his mind, “Thank you for the exnation.”
After hearing what Fang Lixing said, Xu Ning suddenly felt that if he didn’t have the Martial Arts Panel, it would be more appropriate for him to practice the orthodox demonic path with his actual aptitude.
But with the Martial Arts Panel, this was meaningless.
Even with the orthodox demonic path, the advancement speed was notparable to his Martial Arts Panel.
Moreover, even if it was an orthodox demonic path, there was still the risk of suffering a bacsh. If it failed, the oue would be rtively tragic, but the probability of such a bacsh was rtively low.
After taking everything into ount, there was no need for him to take the risk to switch to a demonic technique.
“Sir…”
Fang Lixing pursed his lips and asked Xu Ning, “May I ask who you are?”
Fang Lixing noticed that not only was Xu Ning young, but he was also in the true domain realm by cultivating in the traditional martial arts system.
Although there might have been some misunderstandings in the past, now that the misunderstandings were gone, they could totally be friends.
Xu Ning thought about it before finally said, “Xu Ning from State Jifeng’s Yun Sect.”
“State Jifeng’s Yun Sect…”
Fang Lixing nodded. “State Luye’s Fang Lixing.”
Xu Ning had learned about Fang Lixing’s background from Chu Yeyang.
Fang Lixing, Jian Li, and Chu Yeyang were all from State Luye, but their families were different.
Although they were from the same state, if it wasn’t for the search for this mystic realm, they would rarely contact each other.
After a simple conversation, the two walked down the void stairs.
This time, they did not feel any pressure.
<i>‘Jian Li couldn’t persist…’</i>
After walking down the void stairs, the two found Jian Li sitting cross-legged on the ground, quietly resting.
“Congrattions, both of you.”
Jian Li opened her eyes with aplicated expression.
She observed both their states which showed that they had obviously achieved their goals.
“Jian Li, you don’t have to be discouraged. In this mystic realm, everyone can enter at most three times. Maybe the next time youe, you can obtain the demonic technique.”
Fang Lixingforted.
“Yea…”
Although she was depressed, Jian Li quickly adjusted her mood.
“Brother Xu, this Chu Yeyang…”
Fang Lixing looked at Xu Ning.
After taking the Frozen Seal Pill and various poisonous pills, Chu Yeyang waspletely under Xu Ning’s control.
“Are you close?”
Xu Ning asked.
“No, no, no…”
The two quickly cleared their rtionship. “Although we are from State Luye, we are not close.”
“I see…”
Xu Ning nodded. “If that’s the case, I will take this person away.”
Xu Ning was ready to take Chu Yeyang back to State Jifeng.
He was going to refine the Heartless Pill and use Chu Yeyang as a test subject.
If he seeded, he could turn him into his tool.
“Brother Xu, don’t worry, we won’t say much about Chu Yeyang.”
Fang Lixing also knew that Chu Yeyang had taken the initiative to kill Xu Ning just now, so it was impossible to mend the rtionship.
“We will just say that Chu Yeyang has died in the mystic realm.”
Jian Li said.
“Thank you very much then.”
This would save Xu Ning a lot of trouble, although with Xu Ning’s strength, he was no longer afraid of revenge.
Afterwards, the three of them used their own methods to leave the Red Sea Demon Lord’s mystic realm.
Xu Ning had gained a lot from this trip. He had obtained theplete inheritance of a miraculous master alchemist in the dao realm. It could be said that even after advancing to a high level dao realm master, Xu Ning could still provide energy for his own use steadily.
After leaving Yunfeng Lake, Xu Ning summoned Little Gray and returned to the Yun Sect with Chu Yeyang, who was still frozen.
This time, Xu Ning did not let Little Gray enter the sect, instead he asked it to find a ce to store Chu Yeyang and wait for him.
Once he refined the Heartless Pill, he would naturally return to it.
Afterwards, Xu Ning returned to the sect alone.
After leaving for so long, Xu Ning wanted to know if the Yun Sect had made a decision in regards to the alliance of the three state sects.
