Chapter 123 - Overcoming Desire
Deep within the mountain range!Seeing Yu Haoran"s excited expression, the tarin within the tower couldn"t help but become nervous.
Just as Wu Zhengjun had said, cultivation techniques were not good or bad, the key laid in the person who used them.
The reason why the Profound Sky Continent was divided into the righteous and the evil was not because of how evil the cultivation technique cultivated by the demonic cultivators was, nor was it because of how evil the hearts of the demonic cultivators were.
Rather, it was because they could not control the temptation brought by the power techniques, thereby doing some evil things that went against the ethics of the secular world.At the same time, tarin understood even more that the Great Art of the Heaven Devouring was the number one demonic art in the world.
If you use the arcane phagocytosis the first time, and are unable to control your heart"s desire for power, then you will completely fall into the Path of Demon.
Although the demonic way was also one of the martial arts, and could ultimately reach the peak of martial arts, the tarin still hoped that Yu Haoran could control the desires in his heart and walk the proper path.
The desire for power that kept rising up in his heart, made Yu Haoran wish he could go deep into the stone forest and devour those living beasts.However, just as he was about to move, two thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, forcing him to stop his impulse to move.
One thought was to engulf everything in the world at will!
One thought was to advance step by step!At that moment, the peak of Martial King played a key role in cultivation. His firm belief triumphed over his whimsical thoughts, and his originally fervent gaze gradually became clear again.
"Yu Haoran, defeat the temptation of the power formed by the Heaven Swallowing Earth Art. Your mental state has almost broken through to Martial Saint." Just as Yu Haoran"s gaze regained its clarity, the tarin within the tower couldn"t help but heave a sigh of relief and praise at the same time."Ai!" Facing the tarin"s praise, Yu Haoran did not have the slightest bit of happiness. After letting out a long sigh, he could not help but speak with a palpitating heart.
"tarin, I can finally understand why the demonic cultivators are so crazy. The main reason is because the temptation of this secret technique is too strong.""If it wasn"t for the fact that my mental state has already reached the peak of Martial King, and if I hadn"t made preparations in advance, I probably wouldn"t have been able to withstand the enticement of the power produced by the arcane phagocytosis and would have fallen into the demonic path."
"You"re right!" With regards to Yu Haoran"s laments, tarin agreed as well as himself."The reason why the number one devilish art, Heaven Devouring Earth Devouring Art, is lost is mainly because there are very few people who can endure the temptation of the power from the cultivation technique. In the end, they become a devilish existence that can swallow everything."
After speaking to here, the tarin solemnly warned: "Yu Haoran, I will pa.s.s on to you the improved version of the Devouring Arts. Other than Wu Zhengjun, I hope that you will not pa.s.s it down to anyone else."
"After all, those people are unlike you who possessed the mental state cultivation of someone at the peak of Martial King in your previous life. They will definitely not be able to endure the enticement of power, and eventually cause a disaster for the entire continent."
"tarin, don"t worry. I will definitely not pa.s.s down the Devouring Power Technique to anyone else."
As he said till here, Yu Haoran"s expression could not help but change, and he turned around to rush out of the stone forest.
"Yu Haoran, what are you doing?" Seeing Yu Haoran turn around and leave the stone forest for some unknown reason, the tarin asked in confusion."tarin, even if I am at the peak of the Martial King, my mental state almost couldn"t withstand the enticement of the power, then Wu Zhengjun who is only at the First Rank of the Warrior Realm will definitely not be able to withstand the temptation, I"m worried that he has already fallen to the Devil Dao." While using Gale Steps to leave the stone forest, Yu Haoran explained.
"Wait!" After hearing the reason why Yu Haoran turned around and left, tarin immediately stopped him.
Without stopping because of tarin"s obstruction, Yu Haoran still left the stone forest and rushed in the direction that Wu Zhengjun had just left.
"Yu Haoran, the arcane phagocytosis was personally improved by me, I understand the temptation brought by the arcane phagocytosis very well. Since that"s the case, why should I let you pa.s.s it down to Wu Zhengjun?" The tarin asked.Hearing tarin"s retort, Yu Haoran stopped in his tracks and couldn"t help but ponder it over.
"Yu Haoran, I remember telling you before that the Bloodthirsty Const.i.tution that Wu Zhengjun possessed could help him advance into the more powerful Blood Devouring Physique."
"And the final form of the Blood Devouring Physique is actually the same as the arcane phagocytosis. As long as it contains energy, there is nothing that cannot be swallowed."
Seeing Yu Haoran lost in thought, the tarin knew that if he did not understand the origins of the arcane phagocytosis, he would not be able to understand the implications.
"The creator of the Great Art of Heaven Devouring is called Blood Demon, he is one of the great powers of the demonic path in Neogene period."
"The reason why he was able to create the number one cultivation technique of the Devil Dao, aside from his own amazing perception, is because he was also able to advance from the Bloodthirsty Physique to the Blood Devouring Physique."
After saying that, tarin"s gaze went past the Tower, past his sea of consciousness, and looked at Wu Zhengjun who was devouring the blood and flesh of the strange beasts, and was at the middle stage of the First Stage of the Warrior.
"tarin, what you"re saying is that Wu Zhengjun is actually the most suitable person to cultivate the arcane phagocytosis. Perhaps you"re saying that through your hands, Wu Zhengjun has already pa.s.sed down the legacy of the Blood Demons."
The Blood Demon that created the Heaven-Devouring Divine Earth Art was not only an almighty demon of the Neogene period, but it also had the same bloodthirsty physique as Wu Zhengjun.
Then, wouldn"t Wu Zhengjun, who cultivated in the Devouring Arts, simply inherit the Blood Demon"s technique?"You can say that too!" tarin acknowledged Yu Haoran"s speculation.
"With the simplified version of arcane phagocytosis, if Wu Zhengjun can upgrade his Blood Devouring Body, then I will teach him the true Great Art of Heaven Devouring."
"Wu Zhengjun who has mastered the Great Art of the Heaven Devouring, will become your most capable man in the future."
Although tarin"s explanation was logical and Yu Haoran believed that the arcane phagocytosis would not bring about any side effects to Wu Zhengjun, he was still worried if he did not personally take a look.
As a result, he used Gale Steps to look for Wu Zhengjun and discovered that he was in the process of devouring and transforming a tenth stage third stage beast.
Seeing that his aura was stable and not affected in the slightest by the Devouring Arts, Yu Haoran finally heaved a sigh of relief, and turned around to return to the stone forest.
In the following period of time, Yu Haoran did not crazily devour all of the beasts.
After devouring the flesh and blood of a beast with the bloodline of a king, not only did his cultivation speed increase, his body"s grade also increased rapidly.At the same time, he also started to consciously collect some precious medicines that were old enough to last for a long time.
After all, in the Profound Sky Continent, arcane phagocytosis was a cultivation method of the devilish way and it was clearly prohibited from being cultivated.
He could cultivate independently on a mountain peak, but in a sect, it would be best to use pills to increase his cultivation.
Not to mention, the energy from the Devouring Power Technique was too simple. It would be better to have a specially designed pill for that purpose.Therefore, Yu Haoran set a goal of walking on two legs.
