Chapter 1572: Passing on Cultivation Methods

Chapter 1572 - Passing on Cultivation Methods

Qian Rongzhi's words were like the venomous edge of a blade, aggressive and all up in his face.

Li Qingshan was silenced by that question. So-called "regular demonfolk" were all violent and brutal, capable of any wicked sin. Even when he ran into them, he would cut them down without a thought. However, if he just let them be, Qian Rongzhi would clearly be tormenting these people with great malice, madly mocking their so-called conscience, righteousness, and hope.

It was a complete dilemma. At the end of the day, the Demon domain was just not a regular world.

He shut his eyes before opening them again. "Is this your objective?"

"What objective?" Qian Rongzhi smiled.

"Do you really think I care? The pain or happiness of these demonfolk."

"Perhaps."

"Perhaps darkness will never recede. Perhaps hope is just a sham. However, as long as someone rises up in resistance, you can't say there is absolutely no hope. You might as well say despair is truly the sham here!"

By now, the blazing candles had already burned out. Darkness welled forth like the tide.

However, Li Qingshan's eyes shone in the darkness. "Who said darkness is undefeatable? As long as you have a bit of warmth, a bit of light, even if it's just a glimmer, you can still illuminate a bit of darkness. You don't have to wait for the sun!"

Having made it so far, had he never experienced pain, never gone through despair? Did he really possess not even the slightest doubt that he could make it beyond the Nine Heavens?

Actually, it did not matter if he could not. That was just a guiding star after all.

His path did not lay in the heavens but beneath his feet. As long as he continued onwards, it was fine even if all he managed was to squeeze an extra step in. Even after a thousand twists and turns, reset to the beginning, he would continue onwards as long as he still possessed a bit of strength.

Unless he died on the battlefield. However, he would have even less despair like that then. Perhaps it was better described as his wish.

Truly courageous, stubborn yet valiant, ever tough, persistent, and impervious to humiliation.

A sense of staunchness and courageous resolve rushed out of the sacred hall and filled the entire temple like it was unstoppable. All of the demonfolk felt strangely invigorated.

Qian Rongzhi also took a step back. A venomous snake could not block the path that belonged to the king of beasts. Once again, she confirmed that this was the charm of a tiger.

Li Qingshan turned around and left the sacred hall. "You awakened them. Good on you! I'll lend you a hand too, but don't forget, a month!"

Qian Rongzhi stood silently in the darkness, sinking into her thoughts. She smiled dimly

Li Qingshan strolled through the temple alone. He had his own path to walk. He could not stay here and help these demonfolk with their revolution.

Just like how brother ox never watched over him constantly, if there was anything he wanted to do, he was supposed to work hard and make sacrifices for it himself. How could he rely on the glow of others?

However, just like brother ox, he could pass a cultivation method onto them. Not only did the cultivation method have to be powerful, it had to be suited to the environment of the Demon domain.

Having completed the Spirit Turtle Transformation, he was completely capable of that. His eyes became unfathomably deep, sometimes letting out a slight glow.

Several days later, in the gathering room of the temple, the bell rang urgently. Clang, clang, clang, clang!

All of the demonfolk gathered over, both male and female, both young and old. Just like what Qian Rongzhi had said, there was a smear of undisguisable pain and despair on their faces. After all, it was still a minority that managed to turn the pain and despair into fervency and solemnity like the Green-winged Bat King, yet they still faced pain and struggle.

"Who are you!? How dare you ring the alarm bell!?" A dishevelled Demon King roared with a booming voice.

"Brother lion king, he's a guest invited by the cult leader. He's sir Li Qingshan!" The Green-winged Bat King hurried over to mediate the situation. "Please forgive us, sir. This brother of mine has always possessed the most violent temper."

When the Golden-haired Lion King heard the cult leader being mentioned, he immediately fell quiet, but he still looked at Li Qingshan with great displeasure. Since he was a guest, there was even more reason for him to follow the rules.

Li Qingshan said, "I will now bestow you with a cultivation method. The name of this cultivation method is..." He paused. "The Nine Yang Manual."

He completely disregarded the demonfolks' behaviour and began reciting the cultivation method word by word.

In the beginning, the Golden-furred Lion King did not take it seriously, but his expression gradually changed. Every word and sentence Li Qingshan said seemed to be imprinted in his mind. It did not just contain words, but images, thoughts, and comprehension too. Every piece of information was absolutely wondrous, like a work of nature, leaving him enchanted.

Li Qingshan powered the Origin Soul of great liberty and used the wondrous arts of the devaputra-māra, transferring from heart to heart, pouring it into their minds. Even the children that were completely ignorant about everything could remember it constantly. All they needed to do was constantly comprehend it during cultivation in the future.

The name of the Nine Yang Manual was plagiarised, but the contents were definitely an original creation.

He used the Demon Suppression Statuary and the Battle Demon Statuary as a logical starting point before combining them with the cultivation methods he had practised before, like the Arts of the Boundless Ocean, the Sovereign's Limit Record of World Destruction, and the Heavenly Tome of Liberty, together with the thousand other cultivation methods he had read in the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes. Through refinement, summarisation, and prediction, he created a brand-new cultivation method.

Like the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance, he possessed the complete bloodline of a spirit turtle and a cultivation at the sixth heavenly tribulation. He had also read the entire collection that the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes had to offer. He was obviously capable of what the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance could achieve.

And, he possessed the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, a supreme cultivation method from beyond the Nine Heavens, so when he created the Nine Yang Manual, he merged in the unyielding fighting spirit of the tiger demon.

Just like that, they would no longer be repulsed by the will of the Demon domain, but this was not a compromise out of consideration of the general situation either. As long as they completely carried out this spirit, they would never yield to any authority, whether it was the Demon Gods or the demonic heavens.

That was why he was not afraid of spreading this cultivation method. Instead, he hoped it could spread far and wide. Even if he could not change the world, he could light enough candles to illuminate the darkness.

He was not changing them into good people. He was forging them into warriors.

The cultivation methods he created could not surpass his own cultivation, just like how the Myriad Heavenly Tomes could only be practised to the peak of the fifth heavenly tribulation. Whether they could undergo the sixth heavenly tribulation would come down to their own aptitude and fortunes.

However, it was like sweet rain in a drought to these demonfolk. It was extremely precious.

Even in the Human realm, it was almost impossible for a regular person to obtain a heavenly tome. In the brutal Demon domain where the strong preyed on the weak, countless people would sacrifice everything for a low level cultivation method and not even obtain it in the end.

They even suspected there was some kind of scheme at work before immediately feeling guilt over this thought that belonged to inferior demonfolk.

The Golden-furred Lion King and the Green-winged Bat King understood the significance of this cultivation method the most. They were both utterly excited and unable to express their feelings with words. Suddenly, they bowed down on the ground at the same time out of gratitude for the cultivation method.

Ruffle! All of the demonfolk bowed down on the ground with them as if Li Qingshan was the leader of the cult instead.

Qian Rongzhi watched on from the darkness and murmured silently, "You're just unable to remain indifferent, nor do you want to remain indifferent. This is where your charms lie, as well as your greatest weakness."

However, Li Qingshan had a different experience. In the past, brother ox passed a cultivation method onto him. Today, he passed a cultivation method onto others.

The torch was passed from one hand to another, never to burn out.

The small world revolved rapidly. The plants grew violently, brimming with life.

Boom! A new power emerged, infusing his entire body.

The Qilin Transformation actually broke through again, reaching the sixth layer.

Hold on, what's this about?

Li Qingshan widened his eyes in disbelief. Since when did the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine break through so easily? If it was Sukhāvatī, then so be it. That was originally the Qilin Paradise after all, and his cultivation of the Qilin Transformation had not been high.

However, this was the Demon domain. The Qilin Transformation was one of the divine transformations after all. He would already be fortunate if it did not face any restraint.

There must have been some scheme at work!
