Strongest War Emperor

”A person’s body is composed of sixty trillion microscopic particles. Many powerful experts, after reaching the Micro Realm, can see all of this within themselves clearly. However, very few Cultivation Techniques specifically focus on cultivating these particles to strengthen a Martial Artist from the inside out.”

”This technique was created by a titan of the Demon Dao in the Ancient Era. It uses one’s own body as a prison and the countless particles within as soldiers to suppress the body, ultimately allowing one to command unimaginable power. If you can cultivate it to Great Success, you’ll be able to overturn seas and part rivers, pluck the moon and swallow the sun, all with a single thought.”

Yin Qianshang and Flower Soul’s eyes went wide with a mixture of shock and delight.

Shen Lang continued, ”The Prison Guardian Demon Technique contains the profound dao of life and death. Once you cultivate to the Third Floor, your Recovery Power will surpass that of most Martial Artists of the Same Tier. When the number of dying cells in your body is far less than the number of new ones, any injury will heal quickly.”

”If you can reach the Fifth Floor, your current injuries will heal on their own without the need for any Elixir Pills or Spirit Grass. Back then, during the Blood Race turmoil, this Demon Dao senior rendered unparalleled service to the Human Race, striking fear into the hearts of the Blood Race’s experts.”

”Unfortunately, in the final battle, he vanished without a trace, just like Soul Ancestor and the others.”

As Shen Lang spoke, he gently swiped a hand across the Jade Scroll.

A glimmer of light shone from the Jade Scroll. Like a galaxy spilling down from the heavens, a faint screen of light appeared before them.

On the screen of light, golden characters glittered:

The Prison Guardian Demon Technique is divided into nine floors:

First Floor, Profound Ice Dao: Forms an Ice Purgatory around the body, making it as resilient as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg. Blood flow slows, and it becomes difficult to injure with heavy blows.

Second Floor, Bone Marrow Refining Dao: Forges the bones and cleanses the marrow, making the skeleton as hard as steel.

Third Floor, Rebirth Dao: No matter how severe the injury, one can recover rapidly. This art of rebirth far surpasses that of other Martial Artists of the Same Tier.

Fourth Floor, Hell Dao: Allows one to absorb the most supreme yin and evil energy between heaven and earth, converting it for personal use. Cultivation advances by leaps and bounds.

Fifth Floor, Asura Dao: The meridians throughout the body shift, the Mystic Gate becomes completely unobstructed, and all meridians open. The body’s acupoints can store an endless supply of Demonic Qi.

Sixth Floor, Celestial Burning Dao: A True Flame spontaneously ignites from within, incinerating anything it touches. It burns away all impurities in the body, and its attacks are exceptionally powerful.

Seventh Floor, Ruyi Dao: With the body as a prison, the Demon Technique bends to one’s will. One can die and be reborn, meridians reconstruct, achieving a state of being undying and indestructible!

Eighth Floor, Abi Dao: Every breath seizes the very essence of creation from heaven and earth. The body becomes a Vajra physique, indestructible through myriad calamities. A single punch can shatter the void!

Ninth Floor, Celestial Dao: Overturn Yin and Yang, reverse the universe... Its specific power is impossible to fathom, as even the creator of this technique only cultivated it to the Eighth Floor before vanishing in a battle during the Blood Race turmoil. His fate remains unknown.

...

Yuan Bupu and the other two grew more shocked the more they read, their mouths going dry.

’Such a miraculous technique... Even the Netherworld King’s Three Extremes Sword can’t possibly compare!’

Shen Lang looked at Yuan Bupu and said, ”This is one of the most peerless and miraculous techniques in the Demon Dao. Ordinary people cannot cultivate it at all. Demon Cultivation Methods are often greedy and seek rapid progress; their killing intent is too strong. The further one cultivates, the easier it is to lose oneself. A single misstep can lead to qi deviation and an eternal fall into the Demon Dao!”

Yuan Bupu, Yin Qianshang, and Flower Soul were shocked, their expressions turning cautious.

Shen Lang continued, ”But in your current condition, unless you can find a Heaven-Repairing Ginseng or a Celestial Essence Fruit that is over three thousand years old, ordinary Spirit Grass or Elixir Pills can only slow the deterioration of your injuries. They can’t solve the problem completely.”

”After much consideration, I’ve decided you must cultivate this technique. You need to rely on this Demon Technique to control the death of your cells and find the balance between life and death.”

”After cultivating this Demon Technique for more than half a year, you will need to come to me so I can use the Star Moon Bodhi Prayer Beads to purge the Demonic Qi from your body. This will prevent a Heart Demon from forming and keep you from falling into the Demon Dao.”

”In addition to cultivating this technique, I will refine some potions to help you repair your meridians... After a while, you will accompany me to the Barbaric lands. In a place where the Power of Life is vast and surging, we might not need to go to such trouble. I may be able to completely resolve this chronic problem of yours there.”

Yuan Bupu said gratefully, ”Boss, Elder Ape will never forget this great kindness for all eternity!”

Shen Lang pushed the Jade Scroll in front of Yuan Bupu and added, ”Your Physique and the technique you cultivate are more suited for the Wood Spirit Pearl. However, before your injuries are fully healed, you must continue to cultivate at the Ice Soul Water Jade to stabilize your meridians and slow their fragmentation... Go now, and cultivate well. If nothing special comes up, I won’t interrupt your Cultivation again. If you have any questions about your training, ask me anytime.”

Yuan Bupu bowed deeply. ”Thank you, Boss!”

As soon as Yuan Bupu left, Yin Qianshang and Flower Soul stared at Shen Lang with burning, expectant gazes.

Shen Lang shook his head. ”The Prison Guardian Demon Technique is not suitable for you two, so don’t even think about it. Qianshang, the main technique you cultivate is the Thunder Control Divine Technique, which is of Supreme Yang and Firmness. It inherently conflicts with this kind of Demon Cultivation Method. As for Flower Soul, you cultivate a Shadow-type Technique, so you normally could cultivate it, but you know your own physical condition very well. If an Alien Energy were to appear in your body right now, I’m afraid...”

Flower Soul, who had been looking at Shen Lang with anticipation, instantly turned deathly pale, her body even beginning to tremble.

Yin Qianshang, standing beside her, sensed the abnormality and gave her a strange look. ”So you can’t cultivate it, what’s the big deal? Why the long face? The Boss’s abilities are heaven-defying. Even if he doesn’t give us a more powerful Cultivation Technique, just a few pointers from him would be enough for our Cultivation to improve drastically.”

Yin Qianshang and Flower Soul never really got along, and they often bickered in private.

Strangely, however, Flower Soul didn’t retort this time. She just hung her head, like a little girl who had encountered something terrifying.

Shen Lang seemed to pay no mind to Flower Soul’s strange behavior, his gaze falling back onto Yin Qianshang.

Yin Qianshang watched Shen Lang, feeling a little nervous. He didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Shen Lang stared at him for a moment before speaking. ”Qianshang, you have cultivated the Thunder Control Divine Technique for many years. After so many years of Thunder Power Body Forging, your physical body far surpasses that of an ordinary King Martial Realm expert. However, you are completely unable to draw out the full power of your physical body, nor can you further develop its potential. You’re just using a very primitive method, simply using Thunder Power to forge your body again and again.”

”Furthermore, you’ve cultivated for many years, but you haven’t made much progress with the Thunder Control Divine Technique, have you?”

Yin Qianshang’s face immediately turned beet red.

He never imagined Shen Lang would be so blunt, and in front of Flower Soul, no less!

But with a single sentence, Shen Lang had pointed out the very problem that had plagued him for years. Yin Qianshang was simultaneously happy and ashamed, stammering for a long while without being able to form a complete sentence.

The North Netherworld Extreme Heaven Sect had been wiped out in one fell swoop. His deadbeat master had only taught him for a few years, thrown a pile of Cultivation Techniques at him, and then vanished without a trace.

For all these years, Yin Qianshang had been cultivating through his own trial and error. Even when he ran into problems, he had no one to ask.

Although he held the title of a disciple of the North Netherworld Extreme Heaven Sect, in reality, he was worse off than even a Loose Cultivator.

Having recovered a little, Flower Soul saw him making a fool of himself and immediately covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.

Shen Lang said leisurely, ”But it’s not your fault. The Thunder Control Divine Technique, though powerful enough to make demons retreat and ward off all evil, is indeed one of the most difficult techniques to cultivate.”

”Besides, from the looks of it, you’ve probably been cultivating all by yourself for the past few hundred years, haven’t you?”

”Yes, yes, yes! Boss, you saw through it at a glance,” Yin Qianshang said, nodding repeatedly. ”Please, Boss, don’t hesitate to guide me.”

Shen Lang took out three Jade Scrolls and handed them to Yin Qianshang. ”Back when I was taken away by Lan Mengling, I had nothing better to do, so I took the time to meticulously sort through the Thunder Control Divine Technique and study it thoroughly.”

”This first Jade Scroll contains my insights on every move, every form, and every stage of the Thunder Control Divine Technique. Take it and compare it with your usual Cultivation. You’ll find it quite different, and it should be of some use.”

”The second Jade Scroll records the Netherworld King’s Three Extremes Sword and the Nine-Star Profound Meaning. Everyone in War Wolf is studying these two Secret Techniques. Since you are already proficient in the Sword Dao, you should be able to pick them up quickly.”

”As for this last Jade Scroll, it records how to perform Body Forging and how to call upon the power of your body... This is based on my experiences over the past year or so. In truth, the Cultivation Techniques and secrets related to becoming a Saint of the Flesh were mostly lost during the Ancient Era. Even the War God Hall has few records on the subject.”

”The Prison Guardian Demon Technique I gave to Elder Ape is an excellent Body Refining Technique, but Demon Cultivation Methods have many drawbacks and are not suitable for most people to practice.”

As he spoke, Shen Lang took out three bottles. ”This is a Potion I refined using the Ice Soul Water Jade and various unique ingredients. The members of War Wolf began using it for Body Forging several months ago. However, these three bottles in my hand are extremely concentrated and have not been diluted. Normally, no one but me can use them.”

”With your current physical strength and your King Martial Realm Cultivation, you are just barely able to use it... One drop at a time, dripped into a wooden bucket. Do not get greedy.”

”Follow my instructions, and in a year or so, your strength will at least double.”

”Thank you, Boss!” Yin Qianshang was overjoyed and immediately took the items.

The people of the North Netherworld Extreme Heaven Sect held an almost fanatical reverence for the one who controlled the Thunder Sword. This worship might even surpass the reverence they held for the most authoritative Elders in the sect!

It had been this way for countless years.

After the destruction of the North Netherworld Extreme Heaven Sect, everyone pinned their hopes on the person who wielded the Thunder Sword, treating its ultimate master like a Celestial God.

This was true even though many had never seen this person appear.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Yin Qianshang to doubt a single word Shen Lang said.

However, Flower Soul, standing at the side, was different from the people of the North Netherworld Extreme Heaven Sect, after all...

Although Flower Soul also trusted Shen Lang and knew his methods were extraordinary, she didn’t worship him to the same extent as Yin Qianshang.

So when she heard Shen Lang say that he had sorted through the ”Thunder Control Divine Technique” out of boredom and then studied it thoroughly... she was still stunned by such a claim.

And at that moment, Shen Lang’s peculiar gaze turned toward Flower Soul...
