Chapter 039: Cultivate Well, Everyday (1)

The "Five Senses Demon Scripture" is a demonic art that cultivates the senses of hearing, smell, taste, sight and touch, which not only makes the eyes, ears and nose sensitive, but also enables these five senses to be connected to each other and replace each other.

  When I practice, I have to cover my eyes and rely on my nose and mouth to "see" things. Or cover my ears and use my eyes to "hear" sounds. Of course, I have not practised this book to the point of perfection, but only generally learnt it. Nonetheless, right after I finished practising the secret manual, I entered the primary evolutionary state of a demon - my body shape.

  My skin inexplicably spat out a thin silk, bright red in colour, tightly wrapping around my entire body. It was as if I was bound in a large cocoon, unable to move. When the old woman saw me like this, she said in surprise, "What's going on?"

  I let out a bitter smile, "After practising the Five Sense Demonic Technique, I suddenly became like this."

  The old woman observed me carefully for half a day and said, "It's like entering the evolutionary state of a demon. Strange, you're a demon? How come I didn't see it?"

  I explained, "I am half human and half demon."

  A look of surprise appeared on the old woman's face, but she didn't pursue it and just said, "Maybe your demonic power is too poor, so I can't sense your demonic aura. You've probably just entered the body state, right?"

  I nodded in embarrassment, and the old woman said, "The evolution of the body state usually takes half a day, and when it's completed, you will immediately soar into the Lustful Heaven."

  I was overjoyed, "Granny, aren't there a lot of good things in the Lustful Heaven?"

  "Well, there are quite a few rare treasures, chi grasses and demonic weapons. There are also a lot of psychic monsters, and their inner dans are all great tonics."

  "Great! Now I can go and make a big score."

  The old woman was concerned, "I'm afraid you won't have the chance to get it. In the evolution of demons, the body state is the lowest level, so the time you can stay in the Lust Heaven is very short, about a snap of the fingers, and then you'll be sent out of the Lust Heaven."

  I froze, "A snap of the fingers, how long is that?"

  The old woman interlocked her thumb and middle finger and flicked them together, "What do you think?"

  I was instantly deflated, "With such a short period of time, it's hard to even satiate your eyes, let alone find a treasure."

  The old woman said, "So when you fly up to the Lustful Heaven, don't look at anything, use your fastest speed to grab a handful of random things there, and grab whatever you can, because you simply don't have any extra time to linger. Maybe you'll catch something good, maybe you'll only be able to touch a pile of monster shit, depending on your luck."

  I froze for a moment and smiled, "I wouldn't expect to fish for any treasure then."

  "You're quite the take-it-or-leave-it." She said appreciatively, taking out a copy of the Dragon and Tiger Secret Dao Technique, spreading it out, and placing it on the ground, "You don't want to be idle in this half day, memorise this secret book for me."

  Holy shit, I can't even be lazy if I want to. I read the manual for a while, the red silk all over my body is getting thicker and thicker, three layers inside, three layers outside wrapped around me, gradually, the five senses slowly closed, can't see, can't hear, can't open my mouth to speak, the whole person is drowsy. My heart moved, it looks like the time for ascension is coming soon.

  With a loud bang, as if my soul had gone out of my body, all of a sudden, I crossed the three mountains and five mountains, and I was in an unfamiliar heaven and earth. The five senses were restored in a flash.

  I had ascended!

  The light around me shone, I couldn't care to look closely, I struck out as fast as I could, casually grabbing forwards and pinching a slippery little thing. Almost at the same time, my body shook as if I had fallen from the high sky into the abyss, my soul returned to its place, and my person returned to the cocoon.

  "Snapping ......" The cocoon automatically broke into pieces, and the fine red silk broke off.

  I came out of the cocoon! The entire person was refreshed, as if they had shed their bones. At this time, there was suddenly a strange itch under my ribs, and the inner dan in the centre of my eyebrow jumped non-stop. I moved in my heart, catalysed my inner dan, and "pfft", two dragon butterfly claws probed out like lightning.

  After stepping into my body state, I actually had an extra dragon butterfly claw! This claw was blue, covered with translucent scale armour, like ice floes on the surface of the sea, flashing with a biting cold light.

  The red claw could breathe fire, what could the blue claw breathe? I was curious to try, the tip of the claw out of the cold water mist, the ground of the "Dragon Tiger Secret Taoist Technique" frozen into a piece of cold ice.

  So the blue claw has the power to freeze! I was so excited that I scratched my ears, some other day when I met Shui Liulang, I must let him taste the taste of being cold and frozen, first stripped this kid of his clothes, and then froze him into ice and paraded him for public display! Waving the two dragon butterfly claws, I am very excited, but I feel a little strange, Hat Dan Mei said, as long as you enter the body state, you can change into a demon if you want to change into a demon, and change into a human if you want to change into a human, but I am still a human now. Could it be that because I am a human demon, I can't fully transform into a demon? I must ask Hat Dan Mei some other day.

  After thinking for a while, I put away the Dragon Butterfly Claw, and then I remembered the thing I grabbed back from the Lustful Sky. Taking a closer look, it looks like a soybean, round, oily, and unobtrusive, so I guess it really could be the shit of a monster. Alas, the first time I ascended, not only did I not get the treasure, I didn't even get a good look at what the Lustful Heaven really looked like, I just remembered that it smelled exotic and was full of gorgeous colours.

  After a while, the old woman came, I put this soybean to her, she pondered for half a day, also do not know what is the thing. I said with confidence, ''It doesn't matter, in the future I will be able to evolve again after I practise a few more demonic secrets. At that time, old me will take another trip to the Lustful Heaven."

  The old woman rolled her eyes at me, "How can it be that easy? Only when the demonic power increases substantially can one step into the next evolution. It's easiest for a demon to enter the body state, and the next one is a hundred times more difficult. Even if the demonic secrets are practiced more, if you can't reach the peak, the progress of your demonic power will be limited, like you, if you stop practicing after learning every secret, the next evolution will have to wait at least a few more years."

  I got anxious, "It can't be? I'm still a low-level small demon even if I practice more secret scrolls? Still have to be bullied?"

  The old woman shook her head, "That won't happen. Although your demonic power is weak, you can make up for it by using your demonic techniques when fighting with others. When you have finished practising all the secret scrolls and know the secret dao techniques, armour imperial techniques and demonic techniques, even if you meet a demon that has entered the transmutation state, you will still have a chance to win."

  I was immediately enraptured, "Great, isn't Mirage Sanlang a transmutation state? When the time comes, I'll be able to take care of him properly."

  "Bang!" , the old woman knocked me with a violent chestnut, "Unproductive brat, learning the secret scrolls is not for you to go and fight bravely! There is no ambition at all. Breaking the destiny of the world is what you need to set as your goal!"

  Holy shit, granny, you think too highly of me. I learnt the Secret Scrolls for fighting, why else would I have learnt them? In the middle of thinking, the Moon Soul appeared like a ghost, although I learnt the Five Senses Demon Technique, my gaze is much sharper, but I still can't see the Moon Soul's appearance. After a while, it scurried to the old woman's side, not knowing what it was saying, the latter eyes flashed a trace of surprise, said to me: "The moon soul said that it wants this thing you brought back from the Lustful Heaven. It also said that this thing is useless to you."

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  I agreed with alacrity and threw this soybean to the Moon Soul, which seemed very happy and jumped around. I took the opportunity to say, "Moon Soul, you took my thing, so don't tease old me anymore."

  The old woman grabbed me by the ear, "Cut the crap, quickly cultivate the Dragon Tiger Secret Dao Technique!"

  In this way, during my exhausting career as a cow and horse, I cultivated the secret manuals one after another. My hair grew long, my beard grew long, and my person was a dirty mess. If I go out now, the three beauties must not recognise me.

  On this day, just after reading the Chaos Armour Royal Art, the old woman grabbed me without a second thought and rose up into the air, lightning through the Blood Transformation Vortex.

  I said in confusion, "Granny, where are we going?"

  "A different place to cultivate." The old woman said, and Moon Soul followed to see what was going on.

  In front of the spiderweb-like transparent tubes, the old granny put me down and asked, "Have you memorised the Chaos Armour Royal Art?"

  I swooned, "Granny, do you think I'm an immortal? You can memorise it after reading it once?"

  The old woman impatiently said, "The principle of the Chaos Armour Royal Art is very simple, all things in heaven and earth have their own laws of operation and growth, called physics. The same is true for the opponent's attacks, they all have inherent laws. Destroying physics and restoring chaos is the essence of the Chaos Armour Royal Art."

  I nodded and said, "This I understand, for example, if my opponent uses the Xuan Gui Secret Dao Technique, then I have to destroy the operation of his qi circle, so that he can't draw a circle."

  The old woman hummed, "You're just a mouth that can talk." Pointing to the fish swimming in the transparent tubes, she said, "You catch a fish out for me now, but you can't break the dragon whale's intestines."

  "These tubes turned out to be the intestines of a dragon whale, huh?" I tsked in awe and added, "How can I put my hand in to catch a fish without breaking the intestines? Granny are you fooling me?"

  Without waiting for the old woman to reply, in a flash of white light, the Moon Soul abruptly drilled into the transparent tube and jumped divinely on the tail of a fish.

  Damn him! This guy is clearly showing off to me! The old woman laughed, "As long as you perform the Chaos Armour Royal Art and break the physics of the intestines in a flash of lightning, you can catch the fish."

  I contemplated for a moment and carefully read the key points of the Chaos Armour Royal Art a few more times, took a deep breath and struck out like lightning, grabbing at the transparent tube. "Pfft," the intestines were cracked by my grip, and the liquid inside spewed out, stinking and splashing all over my head and face. And the split in the intestine quickly fused and became intact again.

  The old woman said, ''The dragon whale is a very mysterious sea beast, and its internal organs can automatically heal if they are destroyed. So even a first-class expert would never think of injuring it. I'm going to leave now, you practice here by yourself, I'll come back to see you in a few days. Hey hey, by then if you still can't practice ......"

  "Just flatten me." I interrupted her, "Nothing new."

  The wind of the fist whistled, striking me straight in the face. I let out a strange cry, my palms paddled, the Xuan Gui Secret Dao Technique ran naturally, blossoming out a circle of qi to defuse the fist wind. Following the old woman's punching force, I leisurely spun around and dodged aside. At the same time, the qi circle swung out in a circle, reversing defence to attack and wrapping itself around the old woman.

  "Barely getting by." The old woman easily broke away from the qi circle, leaving me behind and walking away. I heard that masters often show people their backs, not bad at all. My eyes refocused on the transparent tube.

  The dragon whale's intestines had been scratched by me at least a few thousand times. Luckily, it can heal its wounds automatically, otherwise I'm afraid all the intestines here would have been scratched by me.

  It's miserable, I'm even more miserable, not only is my arm so sore that I can't lift it, but I'm also being flattened by the old woman. Moon Soul jumped around on the side, obviously gloating. During this period of time, I took the time to practice the Mirror Pupil Mystery Taoist Art, and I have already achieved a small success, so I can see the appearance of the Moon Soul.

  It is only as small as a fingernail cap, shaped like a round of curved crescent moon. On the tip of the crescent moon, embedded with two rice-like eyes, the mouth is as small as an ant. The Moon Soul had no hands or feet, and was covered in a faint, pure light that was as beautiful as clear moonlight.

  "Moon Soul, how come I've never seen you eat before? You don't eat, drink, poop or pee, no wonder you're stunted." I teased it with a smile.

  Moon Soul rolled its little eyes with a look of disdain. Holy shit, this guy is small, but he's condescending as hell. I added, "Moon Soul, are you a ghost or not?"

  A flash of white light, the Moon Soul came straight over with amazing speed, swept over my scalp, the cool wind rushed, a few strands of red hair were like being cut by a sharp sword blade, falling from my head. Day his grandmother, again it was repaired. The Moon Soul winked at me with a flaunting expression. I said resentfully, "You brat, last time you took the treasure I got from the Devil's Shakra Heaven, and you still dare to be rude to me!"

  A violent chestnut steeply hit my head, and my ears were filled with the old woman's roar, "You rabbit brat, you still have time to talk! Hurry up and practice!"

  I covered my head, "Granny, I'm almost done."

  The old woman's face was full of depression, "You say that every time I come here, something new, okay?"

  I made a face and strutted over to the transparent tube and took a deep breath. The secret of the Chaos Armour Royal Art was like a mountain stream, flowing clearly through my mind.

  "The beginning of the heavens and the earth was said to be chaos, and then yin and yang were divided, and all things began to be in order. Returning to the basics and returning to a disorderly heaven and earth is called the Chaotic Armour Royal Art."

  Stretching out his hand.

  The scenery around me converged in an instant, as if I was standing at the core of heaven and earth, the starting point of life!

  Stretch out your hand.

  Everything reverts to the primordial! My heart was as insightful as a mirror. All things were originally chaotic and disordered, Chaos Armour Royal Art, not to destroy, but only to return things to their original face.

  Stretch out your hand.

  Water splashes, a fish jumping in my palm, "Puff", the fish melted into a transparent liquid out of the fingers.

  "You're not stupid after all." The old woman was relieved and threw me a new book of secrets, "Next, it's the Purple Mansion Secret Dao Technique."

  I was surprised, "Granny, how did this fish melt?"

  "How do you know it's a fish? What you see in your eyes may not be true. For example, the Moon Soul, it looks like a crescent moon, is it a crescent moon?"

  "That's true. It's like Mirage Sanlang's face changing so much that one doesn't know what he really looks like."

  The old woman sighed, "The hardest thing to see through is still the human heart." Without looking back, she walked away. For a long time, the old woman has been very silent, I think I probably inadvertently evoked her sad past. In fact, the old woman is really good, just as a woman, she is too big-headed, quick-tempered, men do not necessarily like.
