Daily Intelligence, Starting Out I Obtain the Heaven-devouring Demonic Art

42: Saint’s hand bones!“Demon Son! Where are you?”

The people of Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace frantically searched for the Demon Son, Jin Tianhen, but after searching for a long time, they couldn’t find any trace of Jin Tianhen.

“Could it be… that the Demon Son was killed by someone else?”

Thinking of this, the people of Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.

To Cultivate the Demon Son, Jin Tianhen, Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace had invested a great deal of time and Cultivation resources.

To put it bluntly, once the Demon Son, Jin Tianhen, matured, he would undoubtedly be the pillar of Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace.

If he was truly killed, it would be a huge loss for Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace.

Furthermore, what made them most panic was that if Jin Tianhen died, once reported, they would all be implicated, directly becoming scapegoats, and ultimately dying without a burial place.

“What should we do? What should we do?”

The faces of the Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace Cultivators were pale, and they didn’t know what to do.

If the Demon Son, Jin Tianhen, died, this matter would be too big for them to handle.

Ultimately, these Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace Cultivators, in order to save their lives, chose to flee.

If they didn’t flee, they would almost certainly die.

Fleeing, although they would be hunted by Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace, at least offered a glimmer of hope.

After a long while, when the mountain forest was completely safe, Gu Xueyao emerged from the hidden cave.

“The people of Heavenly Subduing Demon Palace have all retreated! Who was it that fought with Jin Tianhen earlier? Was it really that guy?”

Gu Xueyao’s expression kept changing.

Previously, after Wang Teng and Jin Tianhen’s battle subsided, when she cautiously peeked out of the cave entrance, she saw a somewhat familiar figure flash past her eyes.

She didn’t see his face clearly, but from the person’s back, he looked exactly like the guy she had a relationship with that day.

“Could it be… he saved me again?”

Gu Xueyao thought as she made her way to the mountaintop.

When Gu Xueyao saw the giant pit on the mountaintop, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes shimmering with extreme shock.

The mountaintop was now flattened, with a huge deep pit, still containing extremely terrifying bloody Sword Qi and Devilish Qi, a scene of utter devastation.

“So… his strength is actually so powerful?”

“It makes sense. After having a relationship with him, my Realm Broke through. How could his strength not be strong?”

“But who exactly is he?”

Gu Xueyao’s expression constantly changed, her face filled with an unspeakable complexity… At this moment, Wang Teng had found a hidden place and was using the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art to devour the Origin of the Nine Nether Demon Body Physique.

After Wang Teng completely devoured the Nine Nether Demon Body, he had already condensed a Divine Bridge, crossing two Realms, one small and one large, successfully stepping into the First Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm, his strength once again receiving a qualitative improvement.

“As expected of the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art…!”

Wang Teng murmured to himself.

Afterward, Wang Teng returned to Ancient Wind City and re-entered the second layer of the dream, Cultivating while waiting for the Emperor Jiang Jade Pendant to cool down.

Not long after, the Emperor Jiang Jade Pendant in Wang Teng’s hand emitted a warm sensation, a signal that it had finished cooling down.

Wang Teng opened his eyes from his Cultivation. Without hesitation, after greeting Xing’er, he immediately activated the Emperor Jiang Jade Pendant, heading directly to Han Province to intercept the Opportunity of the Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan.

As the surroundings changed, Wang Teng quickly appeared in a mountain forest.

The spatial node here was the closest location to the saints hand bone.

After Wang Teng appeared here, he rushed non-stop towards the cliff where the saints hand bone was located.

At this moment, the sky had already begun to lighten with the first hint of dawn… [Today’s Intelligence 1: At the foot of Chongjun Ridge, a cow has returned to its ancestral state. Consuming its meat can greatly nourish the body.]

[Location (Click to view)]

“An ancestral cow…! I’ll go check it out after I get the saints hand bone!”

Wang Teng murmured to himself.

[Today’s Intelligence 2: In the Black-White Academy’s library, a top-tier Cultivation Technique, the Brahma Saint True Devil Art, is sealed away.]

[Location (Click to view)]

“The Brahma Saint True Devil Art. I once saw some information about it in an ancient book of my Family. It’s definitely a top-tier Cultivation Technique!”

“However, entering the Black-White Academy’s library might be a bit difficult, after all, I’m not a student of the Black-White Academy!”

“After I’ve dealt with the matters at hand, I’ll go to the Black-White Academy to see if there’s a way to get my hands on the Brahma Saint True Devil Art!”

Wang Teng immediately made a decision.

After some time of traveling, Wang Teng finally arrived at the cliff where the saints hand bone was located and successfully found a cave situated in the middle of the cliff.

He walked directly inside.

What Wang Teng didn’t know was that just as he walked into the cave, Xiao Fan had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

“Xiao Fan! This is bad, someone found the cave with the saints hand bone faster than us!”

A mature female voice sounded in Xiao Fan’s mind. It was Shen Xinglan, Xiao Fan’s Revered Master.

“What?”

Xiao Fan’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he instantly became anxious, rushing towards the cave.

At this time, Wang Teng had already entered the depths of the cave.

The inside of the cave clearly had been inhabited, with a stone table in the center covered in inches of dust.

Water marks from seeping walls formed patterns like old tree roots, and several drought-resistant vines snaked out from cracks in the stone, tightly wrapping around a dilapidated prayer mat.

Three clay bowls were scattered in the corner, one cracked with a spiderweb pattern, the other two covered in moss, with half a rusted copper coin at the bottom.

A stark white skeleton sat cross-legged on a stone bed.

The stark white skeleton was covered in cobwebs and dust, having been dead for an unknown period.

What caught Wang Teng’s attention the most was that the right arm bone of this skeleton was golden, and it also emitted a powerful aura that transcended the mundane.

“How could the saints hand bone appear on an ordinary skeleton?”

“Could it be that this skeleton, during its lifetime, obtained the saints hand bone through a stroke of Opportunity? And then transplanted it onto itself?”

Wang Teng guessed.

The might of a Saint is not to be offended.

And how could the saints hand bone be borne by an ordinary Cultivator?

The most likely reason for this skeleton’s death was that its life was drained by the saints hand bone.

Subsequently, Wang Teng directly took down the saints hand bone.

Regardless of how this skeleton lived, the saints hand bone now belonged to him.

As Wang Teng took down the saints hand bone, this skeleton, which had been dead for an unknown number of years, completely turned into ashes.

Wang Teng then turned and left the cave.

It was at this moment that Xiao Fan’s figure was rushing towards the cave.

Seeing this, Wang Teng grinned. The Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan, was, after all, a step too late.

Subsequently, Wang Teng stepped on the Movement Character Secret and left at high speed.

“Is that… the Movement Character Secret…?”

Xiao Fan and Shen Xinglan were both shocked.

The guy who snatched his soul consolidating lotus in the Lingxi Secret Realm last time also used the Movement Character Secret.

Furthermore, as one of the world’s most top-tier Cultivation Techniques, very few people knew how to use the Movement Character Secret.

Coupled with his somewhat familiar back, it was highly likely that it was the same person.

“Xiao Fan! Quickly enter the cave and see if the saints hand bone is still there!”

Shen Xinglan quickly reminded him, still holding a glimmer of hope in her heart.

“Okay!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan quickly entered the cave, but ultimately found nothing; there was no saints hand bone at all…
