Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 988: Chapter 984: Divine Method

After Meng Qi left, Leng Tieya paced back and forth in the small courtyard with hands behind his back.

He laughed again and asked, ”Mr. Chi probably thinks I’ve lost my mind, right?”

Chi Haoyang shook his head and said, ”Young Master Leng doesn’t seem to care much for this Soul Suppressing Seal?”

”Haha...” Leng Tieya laughed helplessly, shaking his head, ”If others heard what you said, they would surely be outraged.”

Chi Haoyang said, ”Young Master Leng doesn’t want to offend the Meng Family?... Young Master is a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace. With my help, the Meng Family would not dare to be audacious.”

”Although the Soul Suppressing Seal is strong, it cannot help me advance my realm,” Leng Tieya sighed, ”I am already a Great Sky Demon and don’t engage in much fighting, the seal is better traded for something that can enhance my realm.”

Chi Haoyang said, ”Canghai’s Handwriting can help Young Master Leng advance his realm?”

”I don’t know.” Leng Tieya shook his head.

Chi Haoyang said, ”What about that sword?”

”Not sure either.”

”What about the Secret Record?”

”Unknown.”

”Then...” Chi Haoyang was puzzled.

Leng Tieya smiled, ”I’m just holding onto a glimmer of hope, a little bit of luck perhaps, to advance my realm. After all, it’s the mark of the Supreme Heavenly Demon.”

Chi Haoyang said, ”Is it worth giving up the Soul Suppressing Seal for just a glimmer of hope?”

Leng Tieya sighed, ”I’m hesitating too. If they’re stingy and don’t offer better things, then it’s off.”

Chi Haoyang nodded slowly.

Leng Tieya looked thoughtful and continued pacing with hands behind his back.

Super Sense in the Insight secret chamber.

The four elders in the secret chamber exchanged glances, and one elder floated up, left the chamber quietly, heading towards the central courtyard of the Meng Mansion.

Leng Tieya withdrew his gaze and didn’t follow; he didn’t spy on the most central courtyard of the Meng Mansion.

A layer of mist enveloped there, blocking Super Sense’s Insight.

This is the treasure of the mansion, the treasure of every top family.

If one truly wants to spy, sending a Flying Knife over would suffice.

He felt there was no need for this.

Before leaving, his intuition didn’t send any warning, meaning this time wasn’t dangerous.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes at this moment.

In the Demon Suppression Divine Palace, Chu Zhiyuan lined up the dozens of White Jade Plates and looked at them solemnly.

Spirit light flickered in his mind.

What the Secret Record documented were the martial arts cultivation insights of the Supreme Heavenly Demon Meng Changhai.

They were insights into the Mental Method and the rules of the world.

He had a lot of memories of Demon World experts in his mind, but not those of the Great Sky Demon, nor the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

The memories obtained through these Soul Pearls made Chu Zhiyuan understand the wonders of the Demon Abyss.

The memories within the Soul Pearls only belong to this life, with almost no memories from past lives.

Why, then, do they awaken past life memories after achieving the Great Sky Demon?

He had a hypothesis: past life memories are not stored within the Soul Pearls but within the Demon Abyss.

Understanding this point is a great benefit for understanding the rules of Demon World and for cultivation.

And these memories of the Demon Clan are abundant, although not high in quality, they are rich.

The collision among them caused flashes of spirit light in his mind, giving him deep insights into what the Secret Record contained.

...

The sound of footsteps appeared, and Meng Qi returned again, carrying a Purple Box and the long box from before.

An elder with silver-white eyebrows accompanied him.

Meng Qi said, ”Junior Brother, this is my family’s elder, my third uncle.”

”I, the humble Meng Chi,” the elder with silver-white eyebrows clasped his fists slowly and said, ”When I was young, I received a treasure and then advanced to Great Sky Demon.”

Leng Tieya smiled and asked, ”What did Senior Meng acquire?”

Meng Chi took a piece of White Jade from his bosom and handed it to Leng Tieya, ”It is a Miracle Method.”

Leng Tieya received it: ”Senior advanced to Great Sky Demon through this Miracle Method?”

”I was long stuck at Heavenly Demon First Grade. After practicing this method, I suddenly broke through, but unfortunately, no Meng Family disciple has been able to succeed since.”

”Oh—?”

”This method is quite peculiar. I practiced it successfully, but they couldn’t. Leng Family disciples may try; they might succeed too.”

Leng Tieya directed his spiritual power toward the Jade Pendant, and immediately a mental method appeared in his mind.

He raised his sword-like eyebrows and smiled, ”Indeed, it’s a Miracle Method.”

It wasn’t the path of martial arts cultivation typical of the Demon World, but focused solely on refining spiritual power.

To condense spiritual power into a knife, carving a unique pattern in the mind, thereby purifying spiritual power.

He recognized the pattern at first glance; it turned out to be a Divine Language.

The meaning of this Divine Language is flowing water.

For those who don’t understand Divine Language, it’s merely a strange pattern they see.

Different levels of spiritual power yield different patterns; the stronger the spiritual power, the more complex the pattern.

To those like him who understand Divine Language, what they see is an image of hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

A vast ocean raising tempests, monstrous waves surging to the sky, smashing against rocks, shattering boats.

Leng Tieya looked astonished at Meng Chi.

Meng Chi smiled, ”This mental method is unquestionably fine; I myself practiced it successfully.”

Leng Tieya said, ”Could Senior Meng demonstrate it for me to see?”

”This mental method, though an Inner Scene Method,” Meng Chi said, ”does indeed have unusual phenomena; watch.”

His eyes suddenly brightened, becoming as clear as rippling lake water under sunlight.

Leng Tieya and Chi Haoyang instantly felt a peculiar sensation.

As if, under the blazing sun, they jumped into a refreshing spring, feeling coolness from the outside in, extremely delightful.

”I admire Senior Meng,” Leng Tieya admired and clasped his fists.

He truly admired it.

This is a Divine Race method, the Divine Race mental method he had been longing for.

A Divine Race mental method found in the Demon World, surprisingly possessed by a family elder.

It truly was uncanny.

His primary body hadn’t practiced other mental methods, waiting specifically for this kind of Divine Race method.

Practicing this method as a member of the Demon Clan is akin to humans practicing Demon Clan methods, naturally with little achievement.

He also understood why Meng Chi could practice this method.

Meng Chi’s spiritual power was innately stronger, far surpassing others, pure enough to see more patterns, enabling practice.

Those whose spiritual power was insufficient saw simpler patterns and could not practice it.

The simpler the pattern, the weaker the effect for purifying spiritual power.

If the primary body practices this method, its power would be astonishing.

Meng Chi smiled, ”This mental method and Ancestor Canghai’s sword, along with the Canghai Secret Record, to exchange for the Soul Suppressing Seal, how about it?”

”What about Canghai’s Handwriting?”

”Well...”

Leng Tieya smiled, ”Senior Meng understands that among these three items, only Canghai’s Handwriting has value. The rest are just add-ons.”

Meng Chi hesitated, ”Canghai’s Handwriting...”

Leng Tieya said, ”If Meng Family disciples wish to view Canghai’s Handwriting, they’re welcome to visit my Leng family; we won’t obstruct.”

”...Alright.” Meng Chi slowly nodded, ”Young Master Leng must swear an oath of the Demon Abyss.”

Even though they knew Canghai’s Handwriting could let Heavenly Demons advance to Great Sky Demons, all Heavenly Demons in the Meng Mansion had viewed it without benefit.

Canghai’s Handwriting seemed to work only for Leng Tieya, just like the mental method.

Therefore, Canghai’s Handwriting wasn’t that precious.

Leng Tieya’s agreement that Meng Family disciples can view it at Leng Mansion dispelled concerns.

Leng Tieya promptly raised four fingers, thumb pointed towards himself, the other four to the sky, swearing an oath of the Demon Abyss.

Meng Family Heavenly Demons would visit Leng Mansion to view Canghai’s Handwriting, without obstruction.

Meng Chi solemnly nodded, ”Good!”

He looked at Meng Qi.

Meng Qi pushed the Purple Box and long box toward Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya opened them, revealing a smile.

The long box contained the Canghai Sword, the Purple Box held a scroll, Canghai’s Handwriting, and a book, the Canghai Secret Record.

He took the Gray Cloth Bag from his waist and handed it to Meng Chi.

Meng Chi opened the bag, revealing the Little Black Stone Seal, his eyes instantly brightened and his fingers trembled slightly.

It was indeed the Meng Family’s Soul Suppressing Seal, lost and regained!
