Chapter 228: Chapter 210: Pattern Technique, Law Technique, Heading to the Dragon Elephant Sect

"The Reincarnation Law."

Xu Qing had already awakened. He let out a soft sigh and murmured, "What a shame. It’s only half of it, not the complete Law."

Now, Xu Qing had comprehended half of the Reincarnation Law and learned some of the secrets of the Third Realm. To step into the Third Realm, one had to reach the Ultimate Extraordinary Extreme.

Afterward, one had to cultivate a Law, comprehend its mysteries, and then use one hundred and eight Sixth Level True Intentions as a foundation to push one’s True Intent to its limit. With True Intent as the base, one could then comprehend and master the Laws that existed between all things in heaven and earth.

Only then could one truly step into the Third Realm.

’Half of the Reincarnation Law isn’t enough to cultivate to the Third Realm. I must master the complete Reincarnation Law. Therefore, I’ll still have to pay a visit to the Dragon Elephant Sect, the Moon River Martial Sect, the Ninefold Immortal Sect, and Jixia Academy.’

Xu Qing pondered this.

Having made his decision, Xu Qing no longer hesitated. He planned to consolidate his cultivation in a few days and then make a trip to the Dragon Elephant Sect to seize their Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment.

「Seven days later.」

That night, Xu Qing left his courtyard. He put on the Evil Ghost Mask, altered his appearance, and disguised himself before arriving in a deserted alley to meet Ye Langtian.

"Master."

Ye Langtian bowed to Xu Qing in greeting.

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded and asked, "How are things on your end?"

"Reporting to Master, almost all of the upper echelons of the Blood Demon Sect Moon River Branch were killed in battle, leaving less than a tenth of them. Liu Ying and I joined forces and subjugated all the remaining high-ranking members."

Ye Langtian continued, "In just three days, I have taken control of the entire Blood Demon Sect Moon River Branch. Next, I just need to find a way to contact the next level up in the Blood Demon Sect."

"Good."

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. "You’ve done very well."

"Master."

Ye Langtian spoke again, "After I gained complete control of the Blood Demon Sect Moon River Branch, I spent the next few days investigating and uncovered something shocking."

"What is it?"

Xu Qing asked.

"The Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch... his true identity was actually the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City. Furthermore, he became an Apostle for the sect a hundred years ago," Ye Langtian said.

"It seems that’s indeed the case."

Xu Qing nodded. He took out the Moon River Prefecture City Garrison Envoy’s token and handed it to Ye Langtian. "You can have this token."

"This..."

Ye Langtian was stunned for a moment. As soon as he saw the token clearly, he exclaimed, "Master, it seems what I investigated is true."

"Correct," Xu Qing said.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Ye Langtian asked.

"If I recall correctly, after you cultivated the Devouring Demon Technique to the point of forming the Devouring True Intent, you mastered a supplementary Divine Technique that allows for transformation," Xu Qing said, "Why don’t you take this token and transform into the Garrison Envoy of Moon River Prefecture City?"

"You see, to this day, the Yuehe Prefecture Magistrate’s Office hasn’t found the body of the Moon River Prefecture City Garrison Envoy. This means the Garrison Envoy could be dead, or he could be alive."

"I understand."

Ye Langtian’s expression faltered for a second before he understood. "I know what to do. To ensure the impersonation is flawless, I will use the coming days to investigate the Garrison Envoy’s specific information, his various preferences, and so on. That way, the people at the Yuehe Prefecture Magistrate’s Office won’t be able to tell the difference."

"Good."

Xu Qing nodded.

"Master."

An apologetic look appeared on Ye Langtian’s face. He said, "Actually, there is one matter for which I am very sorry. I was unable to accomplish it as you instructed, Master."

"What is it?"

Xu Qing asked.

"It’s about the method for the Devouring Demon Technique Third Layer."

Ye Langtian lowered his head slightly and said, "After I reached the peak of the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method and my cultivation reached the Sixth Transformation of Demon Infant Realm, the method for the third layer of the Devouring Demon Technique manifested and appeared in my mind."

"However, the Devouring Demon Technique Third Layer contains Laws. Without understanding and comprehending them, I am completely unable to write down the method for the Devouring Demon Technique Third Layer."

"Also, to record these Laws, special materials are required, and I do not possess such materials."

"Mm."

Xu Qing nodded. "I understand. Don’t worry. Once you’ve reached the entry level of the Devouring Demon Technique Third Layer, you can record the method then."

"Yes, as you command."

Ye Langtian nodded respectfully.

In fact, when Xu Qing used the Encyclopedia of All Things to absorb the half-piece of the Inheritance Stone Tablet, he had immediately mastered and comprehended half of the Reincarnation Law.

Because of this, Xu Qing naturally knew that before the Reincarnation Law was fully cultivated, it couldn’t be recorded by any means. One had to first master the Law before it could be recorded using special materials.

"Master, this is the Level 9 Spiritual Food you need."

Finally, Ye Langtian handed Xu Qing a good amount of Level 9 Spiritual Food: Blood God Flesh. Although Xu Qing’s Martial Cultivation was not yet high, his Demon Path Cultivation had already reached the Extraordinary Extreme.

As a result, while Level 7 and Level 8 Spiritual Food could maintain Xu Qing’s daily condition, it was certainly not as good as Level 9 Spiritual Food. And since Ye Langtian now controlled the entire Blood Demon Sect Moon River Branch and had sufficient resources, there was naturally no need to eat Level 7 or Level 8 Spiritual Food. He could just eat Level 9 Spiritual Food directly.

Currently, Xu Qing only needed to eat one jin of Level 9 Spiritual Food per day.

"Master, you plan to head to the Dragon Elephant Sect in a few days? Do you need me to accompany you?" Ye Langtian inquired.

"That’s not necessary."

Xu Qing shook his head. "I am enough for this trip."

"Yes!"

Ye Langtian nodded respectfully.

「Three days later.」

Xu Qing set out, leaving Moon River Prefecture City and heading for the location of the Dragon Elephant Sect. The Dragon Elephant Sect was situated in Longxiang County, over a hundred kilometers from Moon River Prefecture City.

Although Longxiang County was just a county seat, its scale and strength were extremely high, only slightly smaller than Moon River Prefecture City. In the very center of the county seat were nine inverted Suspended Peaks, linked together by enormous chains. A massive palace was built upon these nine inverted peaks as its foundation.

This was the main entrance of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

Moreover, the entire Longxiang County was basically under the control of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

It could be said that the Dragon Elephant Sect was the true local emperor of Longxiang County. The sect’s word was more effective than the Court’s, and the Longxiang County Magistrate’s Office was merely a decoration.

"This is the place."

Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He had arrived at Longxiang County and was standing in the void outside the county seat, gazing at the majestic main entrance of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Without hesitation, Xu Qing took a step forward. Boundless Demonic Qi surged from his body, instantly transforming into a monstrous Demon Cloud.

In an instant, the vast Demon Cloud formed from Xu Qing’s boundless Demonic Qi had enveloped the entire county seat, plunging all the citizens of Longxiang County into a panic.

"Th-this..."

"Wh-what’s happening?"

"My heavens!"

"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"

"S-such terrifying Demonic Qi..."

...

Within the county seat, countless people were in a state of panic.

"This is bad!"

"Something’s happened."

"A Great Demon has descended!"

"Quick, inform the Dragon Elephant Sect!"

...

Inside the city, among the various factions and the County Magistrate’s Office, there were some experts who had stepped into the Second Realm: Extraordinary. They reacted immediately, knowing that a terrifying Great Demon beyond their imagination had arrived.

It was safe to say that against such a Great Demon, they were no match at all. Only by calling upon the Dragon Elephant Sect could they hope to suppress such a fiend, so their first reaction was to cry out to the Dragon Elephant Sect for help.

"Insolence!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

The next moment, a Supreme Elder from the Dragon Elephant Sect shot through the air. He was an old man with white hair but a youthful face, a burly physique, standing two meters tall, with bulging muscles and a commanding presence.

"Where did this Demon come from? So ignorant of your own limitations, you actually dare to cause trouble in Longxiang County. Leave at once, and this old man can overlook this," the Supreme Elder berated him angrily. "Otherwise, I will personally act to suppress you and make you understand the consequences of provoking the Dragon Elephant Sect."

"I am Demon Venerable Chonglou."

Xu Qing’s tone was calm as he looked at the Dragon Elephant Sect’s Supreme Elder. "This venerable one is naturally aware that Longxiang County is the territory of your Dragon Elephant Sect. This venerable one has come this time to ask for something from your sect."

"Demon Venerable?"

The Supreme Elder was startled, but after carefully sensing the aura, he discovered that although this Great Demon before him was powerful and had certainly reached the Extraordinary Extreme, he definitely did not have the aura of the Third Realm. He immediately calmed down and sneered, "What arrogant words. You haven’t even stepped into the Third Realm, yet you dare to call yourself a Venerable."

"And you even dare to demand something from our Dragon Elephant Sect."

"This venerable one requires the Inheritance Stone Plate Fragment that your Dragon Elephant Sect obtained from the Reincarnation Ruins," Xu Qing continued. "If you are willing to give it to this venerable one, I will remember this favor to your Dragon Elephant Sect. If you are not willing, then this venerable one can only take it personally."

"You are too arrogant."

BOOM!

The Supreme Elder finally couldn’t hold back any longer. He roared in anger, "Then let this old man see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve to dare spout such nonsense."

"Die!"

ROAR!!

As his voice fell, the Supreme Elder charged at Xu Qing. Every move contained Dragon Elephant Power as he unleashed his Sixth Level Dragon Elephant True Intent, striking at Xu Qing.

SPURT!

Blood splattered. Xu Qing attacked without a shred of mercy, directly using his Divine Power: Annihilation, which he had already reached Minor Achievement in. With just a single move, a flash of black and purple lightning shattered the Dragon Elephant Sect’s Supreme Elder’s Sixth Level Dragon Elephant True Intent. It then landed on the Supreme Elder himself, completely annihilating his life force.
