Chapter 68: Pupil Technique – Truth-Seeing Divine Eye
Jiang Cheng heard what the village chief said and spoke with a grave expression: "Is that so? It seems you all need to be careful recently."
"You should be careful too. I see your Physique is rather weak, so I came specifically to warn you."
"Moreover, some of the discovered corpses seem to have had their blood sucked dry by something. It looks terrifying and has everyone in a panic."
"Alright, I will be careful."
It has been over twenty years. Do you know how I have spent these past twenty years?
At the beginning, he couldn't even beat a normal Mortal, but through observation, careful planning, and sneak attacks, he killed others to absorb their Foundations, slowly recovering. However, this process was very long.
Now, relying on the Yin Yang Art and the Yin Yang Demon Pearl to constantly absorb the origins of others, he has finally recovered to the Foundation of a normal person, but his strength is still very weak.
The damage from that last battle was too great. If not for these two supreme treasures, he wouldn't have survived long even if he had escaped.
For these past twenty years, he has posed as a disaster victim to gain the sympathy of people in these villages and infiltrate them. In the villages, he would play the image of a kind person.
He would quickly gain the trust of others.
Because of his sickly appearance, it was hard for others to suspect that he was the one doing these things.
He changed villages quite a few times during this period. These places were all relatively remote areas where no Cultivators existed.
This made it easier for him to act. Basically, no one has survived in the places he has stayed.
Alright, as soon as this village is absorbed, it will be about enough. It will be time to head to the cultivation world. When the time comes and my strength is sufficient, I will contact the Demon Race and lay some groundwork for their arrival first. I will also need to build up some forces by then.
This is simple; after all, many people cannot resist the temptation of power.
As for the person who attacked and injured him, although he does not know who that person is, once the Demon Clan members rule the Southern Region, that person naturally won't be able to escape.
Just wait. When he returns to the Soul Transformation Stage, or even breaks through to the Refining Void Stage, this Southern Region should prepare to receive his baptism.
With these two supreme treasures, he estimates that he can recover to the Soul Transformation Stage within a hundred years, and possibly even break through to the Refining Void Stage.
That person who crippled him must never have imagined that his cultivation speed would be this fast.
He really wants to see that person's shocked expression when the time comes. Within a hundred years, Jiang Cheng estimates that the person who injured him will at most be at the Soul Transformation Stage.
With these two supreme treasures, handling that person will be easy. Jiang Cheng also knows that if the person who injured him breaks through to the Soul Transformation Stage, their strength will definitely be very strong, after all, that strike left him with quite a bit of trauma.
But he has the Yin Yang Art, which still gives him some confidence, and besides, he will have accomplices by then.
Just like that, three years passed.
Su Yu got up and stretched. This sleep was truly comfortable.
Over these past three years, Su Yu's cultivation had not improved much. It would still take some time to reach the Late Stage of Spirit Transformation, but Su Yu could also feel that it wouldn't take long to break through to the Late Stage of Spirit Transformation. He estimated he could break through in another year or two.
He was not in a hurry. He had basically spent these three years perfecting his Cultivation Techniques, and he had even obtained a Pupil Technique.
This was because he often found that having a Pupil Technique could make many things much more convenient.
Su Yu opened his Proficiency Panel, which he hadn't checked in a long time.
Character: [Su Yu]
Realm: [Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation]
Aptitude: [Three Spiritual Roots of Metal, Wood, and Fire]
Cultivation Technique: [Life-bound Sword Technique: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin], [Spirit Returning Art], [King Rank Breath Concealing Art], [King-Rank Sword Drawing Technique], [King-Rank No-Life Sword Art], [King-Rank Soaring Dragon Steps], [Profound Rank Truth-Seeing Divine Eye], etc.
Divine Ability: [Great Void Sword Combination Technique]
Magic Treasure: [Heaven Rank High Grade Sword Nine], [heaven-rank high-grade starry sky chessboard], [Heaven Rank High Grade Wine Immortal Gourd], etc.
Hundred Arts: [Great Grandmaster Forging: Leaving Wind Forging Method], [Grandmaster Gardening: Spirit Rain Technique, Growth Promotion Technique], [6th-Rank Formation Master], [3rd-Rank Alchemist], etc.
Concept: [Formless Sword Domain], [Zither Intent], [Chess Intent]
Su Yu looked at the Truth-Seeing Divine Eye on the panel. When he first saw this Pupil Technique, he was startled. Looking at the name of this Pupil Technique, could it be that he had found a treasure, and didn't even need to improve it himself?
The result was still very realistic. This Pupil Technique only had an impressive name; it had a fancy name to bluff people, but the effect was not very powerful.
After cultivating it, he could only see through some simple illusions, but for Su Yu, that didn't matter. In his hands, it was all the same; if it had no effect, he could create the effect himself later.
His Alchemy had also been raised to a 3rd-Rank Alchemist. Su Yu could now concoct many Medicinal Pills, and his techniques had also advanced to the King Rank along with his proficiency.
He hadn't heard of any King Rank Cultivation Techniques in the Southern Region, but he didn't care about that.
As for his Divine Ability, ever since he obtained this Divine Ability, the Great Void Sword Combination Technique had never been used. The key was that there were no opponents who could force him to use it.
But he didn't want to use it either; it was fine to just be peaceful like this.
Anyway, nothing major had happened, and the Southern Region had always been relatively peaceful.
Jiang Cheng looked at the shriveled woman beside him. After absorbing the cultivation and Foundation of this Qi Refinement Stage woman, his cultivation reached the Qi Refining 6th Layer.
The speed is still a bit slow. I need to find more people.
His forces already had some scale. He had come to some Markets where Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators existed.
By constantly beguiling some people, he let them step onto the Demonic Path.
Now he had two subordinates at Qi Refining Stage 3, and some at the Qi Refining First Layer.
The forces were very weak, but for him now, they were enough. Coupled with himself, this force was already very powerful in this remote little Market.
"Come in."
The two people at Qi Refining Stage 3 at the door walked in. "Sect Leader, what are your orders?"
"Deal with the person on the bed, then go get more. If you discover anyone with high cultivation, notify me, and I will go personally."
"Understood, Sect Leader."
Jiang Cheng came outside to select suitable candidates; after all, relying on his subordinates was not efficient enough.
Jiang Cheng passed by and saw a few children bullying another child. He saw the eyes of the child lying on the ground; those were the eyes he wanted to see.
That kind of ravenous look, the desire for power, and the look of resentment towards the injustice of the world—he wanted this kind of person.
Jiang Cheng walked over and looked at the child lying on the ground.
"Kid, do you want power? I can give you the power you want."
Chen An looked at the person appearing before him. After hearing what he said, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
Using his remaining strength, he spoke: "I want power. I want the power to break everything. As long as you can give me that kind of power, I will do anything."
Chen An recalled that when he was born, his mother smiled very happily and named him Chen An, hoping he would live in peace for his whole life.
