Chapter 67: Chapter 66: Body-Shifting Demon Scripture! Tai Sui Immortal! The Elder Imperial Tutor Explains

Having obtained the Celestial Eye Divine Techniques, Su Bai began extracting the cultivation technique of Bai Zai, an Elder of the Black Lotus Sect.

This Black Lotus Sect Elder, who looked like a Wolf Demon, had relied on a special Blood Bone hidden within the Bloodthirsty Bull Demon to achieve rebirth.

’What a bizarre and evil cultivation technique!’

The next moment, Su Bai began the extraction.

In the vision that followed.

Su Bai saw himself become the frail-bodied Bai Zai, dressed in a deep black robe and sitting cross-legged on a black Lotus Platform.

Below the Lotus Platform, scores of emaciated, fanatical believers prostrated themselves deeply, chanting incessantly.

"Tai Sui above! The Immortal Elder is eternal!"

"The old world must perish! The new Saint is immortal!"

...

Bai Zai was also muttering an incantation, as if activating some Secret Technique to continuously absorb the Power of Faith from his followers.

When night fell.

Bai Zai used the absorbed Power of Faith to secretly communicate with a powerful entity from within his private palace, cultivating a mysterious technique.

After a while, the vision ended.

Su Bai shook his head to clear it, then checked his gains.

[Cultivation Technique: Body-Shifting Demon Scripture (Seventh Grade), Realm: Refined and Masterful (10,600/1,000,000)]

Su Bai contemplated it for a moment and realized it was a sinister cultivation technique used to harvest the Power of Faith.

The Black Lotus Sect Elder, Bai Zai, had used a vast amount of the Power of Faith to cultivate this Body-Shifting Demon Scripture to the Refined and Masterful realm.

This bizarre technique allowed its practitioner to change their physical form at will.

Many years ago, Bai Zai had died while carrying out a mission.

However, at the last moment, he transformed into a Blood Bone, managing to preserve a shred of his Divine Spirit. Eventually, this Blood Bone was swallowed by a rampaging Cow Demon.

Later, the Demon Armored Youth found him. The two reached an agreement, and only then was Bai Zai able to be reborn.

’What a bizarre cultivation technique!’

Su Bai then tried circulating the Body-Shifting Demon Scripture.

The next moment, his expression turned slightly dazed. He felt as if he had connected with some mysterious entity in the void.

The image of an Immortal Elder with a full head of white hair and a gentle smile surfaced in his mind.

Su Bai immediately cut off the technique!

Only then did he realize.

’This Immortal Elder must be the mysterious person who taught Bai Zai the cultivation technique!’

’He’s probably the Tai Sui Immortal the followers were chanting about.’

’That entity requires a vast amount of the Power of Faith, and Bai Zai was just one of his incarnations in the mortal realm, harvesting it for him from the masses.’

’What rotten luck! Why did I have to extract such a sinister cultivation technique?’

Su Bai shook his head, having no intention of continuing to practice this technique.

’Heaven knows what the true purpose of that seemingly benevolent Immortal Elder really is.’

’Maintaining any kind of connection with him could bring unforeseen disaster upon me.’

Besides, a cultivation technique that harvests the Power of Faith seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

’That Immortal Elder is definitely not a good person!’

With that, Su Bai had finished sorting through all his gains from the recent turmoil.

He had not only obtained multiple Divine Techniques and cultivation techniques, but had also acquired a considerable amount of Experience Points.

Su Bai glanced at his status panel.

[Tripod Master: Su Bai]

[Realm: Extraordinary Ninth Layer (140,000/2,700,000)]

[Cultivation Technique: Demon Taming Technique (Seventh Grade), Realm: Returning to the Essence!]

[Great Demon Burning Evil Body (Seventh Grade), Realm: Returning to the Essence!]

[Nine-Turns Demon Devouring Scripture (Sixth Grade), Realm: Returning to the Essence!]

...

[Divine Technique: Celestial Dragon Carrying the Mountain (Incomplete Divine Technique) (Seventh Grade) 3rd Layer (0/1,000,000)]

[Divine Technique: Celestial Eye Divine Techniques (Fifth Grade), Realm: 4th Layer (25,600/500,000)]

...

[Stored Experience Points: 5,753,000]

His status panel was now far more impressive than before.

All sorts of cultivation techniques and Divine Techniques!

It was enough to leave one breathless!

Su Bai glanced at his accumulated Experience Points and decided to spend them on his Realm first.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, Su Bai’s Realm successfully advanced by one layer.

He had reached the Eighth Layer of the Extraordinary Realm!

He then checked the number of Experience Points required to advance to the next layer.

’Two million eight hundred thousand Experience Points. That’s more than enough!’

Without hesitation, Su Bai poured all of his remaining Experience Points into his Realm.

RUMBLE!

This time, the True Qi vortex in his body didn’t just expand significantly; the quality of the Golden Purple True Qi stored within it also improved by a huge margin.

The surging True Qi nearly overflowed from his body.

’The next step is breaking through to the Innate Realm!’

After concealing his aura, Su Bai checked the Experience Points needed to break through to the Innate Realm. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Hmm... three million Experience Points!

’It’s not that much!’

Su Bai figured he could save up that much in half a month at most.

A pleased expression appeared on Su Bai’s face at this thought.

Then, True Qi flowed at his fingertips.

The lamp was extinguished, the fire put out.

He collapsed into bed and was fast asleep.

...

The Great Xia Demon-slaying Bureau was always heavily guarded.

It was the middle of the night. Several solemn-faced Martial Artists of the Demon-slaying Bureau, clad in crimson robes and holding sharp weapons, patrolled back and forth diligently under the light of the surrounding lanterns.

Deep within the Demon-slaying Bureau, past layers of heavily fortified checkpoints, stood a hidden tower.

Inside, an old man in simple robes was lifting a cup of tea from the wooden table to his lips.

He had brown eyes, white hair, and a Wooden Sword hanging from his waist.

Just then, the Grand Director, standing beside him with a pale face, took out a torn-off sleeve from King Zhenyue’s robe and placed it on the table.

"Imperial Tutor, sir, please take a look. This wisp of Fist Intent remaining on King Zhenyue’s sleeve... is it the legendary Unity of Spirit and Soul?"

"Oh, and the Elder National Preceptor was very direct about it. He admitted his skills were inferior and called this person a peerless Fist Venerable!"

The white-robed old man glanced at the torn sleeve on the wooden table.

Then, he spoke slowly, "Xiao Rongshan is our Great Xia’s Venerable of Fist Way. If he says so, then it must be true."

"’That old fellow Xiao Rongshan loves to keep things to himself. He probably didn’t tell me the whole truth!’"

"I must still ask you, revered Elder, to enlighten me!"

The Grand Director said with a wry smile.

He didn’t specialize in the Fist Dao, so he could only make a rough guess about this wisp of Fist Intent.

And that damned old fossil actually used his full strength when fighting him for King Zhenyue’s corpse!

He had to fight tooth and nail just to snatch this piece of sleeve!

Clearly, that old fossil had discovered something on King Zhenyue’s corpse and hidden it away without telling him.

The white-robed old man set down his dark teacup, his gaze falling upon the torn sleeve.

A glint of starlight suddenly flashed in his brown eyes. He nodded slightly. "It is indeed Unity of Spirit and Soul."

"Such mastery of the Fist Dao is truly extraordinary."

"The practitioner’s Body and Spirit Technique must be a Golden Body Technique that has surpassed the Returning to the True Realm."

"’Tsk... Truly impressive.’"

The white-robed old man couldn’t help but sigh. "In this day and age, this person can indeed be considered a peerless Fist Venerable."

"Even many years ago, during the chaotic era of warring heroes, such a person would have been a great champion, possessing the quality to dominate the world."

Hearing the Imperial Tutor’s praise, the Grand Director couldn’t help but ask,

"Then in your opinion, Imperial Tutor..."

"Does this person have what it takes to become a world-renowned Fist Saint?"
