Chapter 836: Sublime Scriptures of Heaven

ʼItʼs really unfortunate that these demons donʼt drop demon cores…ʼ Yuan sighed inwardly after killing his second demon in the examination.

Sometime later, Yuan stopped walking when he noticed a statue in the distance.

When he approached it, he realized that it was actually a demon that had already been sealed.

ʼDid one of the other two participants seal this demon?ʼ He wondered to himself.

Regardless if it was sealed by someone else or not, Yuan did not intend on leaving behind free points and decided to erase the demon completely, taking the points for himself.

After releasing the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, Yuan took a few minutes to recover his strength before making his move again.

ʼI hope I get points for finishing off someone elseʼs demon, even if I donʼt receive the full credit…ʼ

Meanwhile, Wan Yu laughed out loud after witnessing Yuanʼs actions.

”This is the first time that I have witnessed someone killing another personʼs sealed demon.” He laughed out loud.

”Well, this is my first time seeing a Spirit Lord killing demons two realms above their own level.” Tang Zheng said.

”Just what kind of technique is he using? I donʼt recognize it at all.” Yan Hara mumbled in a pondering voice.

Wan Yu then said, ”It resembles an ancient technique from a legend I heard before, but I doubt itʼs actually the same technique.”

”Legend?” The other two looked at him with raised eyebrows.

”Yes, itʼs called the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, and itʼs only part of another technique called the Heavenʼs Secret Art.”

”Have you heard of the Sublime Scriptures of Heaven?” He asked them.

Tang Zheng nodded and spoke, ”I have heard about them before. Legend has it that the mighty Heaven itself created these techniques alongside the cultivation world during its creation, and they are the most powerful cultivation techniques to ever exist. There are four different techniques with Heavenʼs Secret Art being one of them.”

”Rumor also has it that they were gifted to the four most powerful families that served the first Celestial Emperor, but nobody has seen these techniques since ancient times, so people question if they even really exist.”

”Thatʼs right, and the Heaven Splitting Sword Art is part of Heavenʼs Secret Art.” Wan Yu nodded.

And he continued, ”However, you are not entirely correct.”

”Huh? What did I get wrong?” Tang Zheng asked.

”The Sublime Scriptures of Heaven truly exist and people have seen them before. In fact, the people that own these techniques currently reside in the Supreme Heaven.”

”However, that is only the case for three of these four techniques. The fourth technique, Heavenʼs Secret Art, is said to be owned by the legendary Asura Clan, but since they have been exiled for countless years now, nobody can confirm that information, hence why the technique is a legend.”

”The Asura Clan, huh. I heard a lot about them, but I never understood why they were exiled— I mean, I know the reason they were exiled, but I donʼt understand why they did what exiled them.” Yan Hara sighed.

And she continued, ”However, what puzzles me the most is how they refuse to participate in Supreme Heavenʼs Legacy for their freedom.”

”They must have their own reasons.” Wan Yu shrugged.

It was at this moment Yan Hara had a sudden realization.

ʼHuh? Wait a minute... The Supreme Heavenʼs Legacy?ʼ

After pondering for a moment, Yan Hara turned to look at Wan Yu and asked, ”The Asura Clan... What is their surname?”

”Give me a second...” Wan Yu closed his eyes to think.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and said, ”If my memories serve me correctly, the Asura Clan should have the surname ʼXiaoʼ.”

Yan Hara swallowed nervously after hearing this information.

ʼXiao... Xiao Hua... It canʼt be... But thereʼs no way itʼs just a coincidence. Why would the Asura Clan suddenly decide to participate in the Supreme Heavenʼs Legacy when theyʼve avoided it for countless years?ʼ

Either this is all just a freaky coincidence or there is something bigger at play here.

A few hours later, Wan Yu looked at the scoreboard and smiled, ”Yuan is currently leading with 30 points while the other two are almost neck to neck with 22 points and 21 points. Despite his advantage, the little founder isnʼt as efficient in locating demons as the other two, so heʼs not too far ahead. If he couldnʼt kill demons with his ridiculous technique, he would be last place right now.”

”Heʼs also only ran into low-ranking demons while the other two have already encountered an Elite Demon.” Tang Zheng added.

”It will only be a matter of time until he encounters an Elite or Superior Demon...” Yan Hara mumbled in a slightly nervous tone, as she wasnʼt confident that he could really deal with them at his current level.

However, the very next moment, Yuan would encounter his first Elite Demon.

”Speaking of the devil...” A smile filled with intrigue appeared on Wan Yuʼs face as he focused on Yuanʼs situation.

”Young Master, this demon is different from the rest. You should be careful.” Feng Yuxiang warned him when she sensed that something was off about this demon.

”Itʼs an Elite Demon.” Yuan immediately recognized its rank since he had fought one before.

When the Elite Demon noticed Yuan, it didnʼt immediately attack him and actually took a moment to take a deep breath.

”Aaaah... Human, I can smell a chaotic energy hidden deep within you. Although the energy is almost nonexistent right now, it will eventually bloom into something magnificent, and when it does, I can only imagine the chaos youʼll cause to the cultivation world— it would definitely be a sight to behold.” The Elite Demon said to him with a calm smile on its face.

”...”

Although Yuan didnʼt take the demonʼs words to heart, he had a bad feeling about it, and it made him recall the madness that consumed his mind not long ago at the Qi Family..
