Chapter 203: Chapter 63 Blessing Record of Immortals

The floating mountains of Rong Town, suspended mid-air, became the central axis of the Heart Beast Territory, influencing the flow of spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles.

Even mortals could discern the vortex-like cloud formations above Rong Town, and within the desolate mountains, grass and wood began to take root and sprout.

After the Immortal Locking Body fused into the mountain, it not only increased the spiritual energy within the area but also enabled the transformation of the beasts, birds, and fish inside the mountain gate.

If it were the ancient Cultivation World, living beings would evolve toward becoming spirit beasts; in later generations, it would give rise to spiritual materials imbued with spiritual energy.

By relying on the Immortal Locking Body, Rong Town could establish a stable channel for spiritual materials.

Of course, converting spiritual materials into cultivation resources to form an industrial chain still depended on the ports of the Sub-Device Sect.

Boom, boom, boom.

The vein-like root system extended from the base of the mountains, intertwining with the ground, forming paths to enter and exit the mountain gate.

The concentration of spiritual energy grew increasingly dense, ultimately skyrocketing by thirty percent.

The beast cultivators had never witnessed such a blessed land or heavenly paradise and began chanting Tian Chenzi’s name, showing none of the tension from the previous struggle for Taoist inheritance.

Quietly, Li Mo arrived at Rong Town.

His expression was slightly complicated. After all, once the Heart Beast Sect was re-established, the mundane scenes of the past would vanish forever, but Rong Town had no other choice.

The Sub-Device Sect was like a stove—you could either become the firewood fueling the flame or use the fire to temper yourself into a sharp weapon.

To a beast cultivator who understood Rong Town’s history, Tian Chenzi’s descent was like a fleeting dream.

Han Cai’s old face flushed red, muttering something under his breath.

He appeared as though intoxicated; his long-stagnant heart suddenly began to beat forcefully, causing spiritual power to leak uncontrollably.

"Li Mo, it’s truly come to pass."

The Futu Hermit revealed a look of satisfaction.

He had joined Rong Town as a loose cultivator. Although he only recently succeeded in forming his core, his sense of belonging to Rong Town wasn’t strong. He merely marveled at Li Mo’s rise, which had turned Rong Town upside down.

Tian Changwen took a deep breath, realizing that the alignment of heaven, earth, and people was all in place, and this was an opportunity that should not be missed. His figure ascended into the sky, hovering several hundred meters above ground.

"For nearly ten thousand years, Rong Town has floated in suspension, established by our ancestor Tian Chenzi."

"Though the sect later faced calamities, the ancestor ascended to the Immortal Realm, preserving us through countless hardships. At this very moment, I, the elder, am acting under the ancestor’s guidance."

"We disciples shall take pride in the Heart Beasts, take their name, and follow their Dao..."

"No longer shall there be Rong Town! The Heart Beast Sect is re-established!"

As Tian Changwen spoke, the surface of the mountain revealed the characters for "Heart Beast," and the clouds scattered for a thousand miles, unveiling a bright, clear sky.

Tian Changwen’s voice reverberated, prompting birds and beasts to run, migrate, and scatter.

The Beast Skin People were driven by instinct, kneeling in the direction of the Heart Beast Sect.

Li Mo nodded slightly at this sight.

Even though the Heart Beast Sect still faced numerous challenges, as long as there were no internal or external threats, it was poised for a rapid phase of development.

He arrived at the Heart Beast Temple, where the Immortal Locking Body had already merged Tian Chenzi’s relic into the mountain, leaving only the ruins of a desolate temple behind.

Li Mo’s mind stirred, and a narrow crevice split open in the ground.

From within, a vein-like root wrapped around a book, pulling up a struggling demon cultivator who attempted to escape the Immortal Locking Body’s grasp.

"Interesting."

Li Mo’s Cave God’s Eye swept over the demon cultivator, who instantly felt as though facing an overwhelming enemy.

The cultivation system of the Human Demon Sect appeared to involve refining one’s body into a book, resulting in the inability to speak. The demon cultivator flipped to the final page, displaying words that desperately pleaded for mercy.

[Upper Immortal, this humble cultivator bears no ill will toward the Sub-Device Sect. If the Upper Immortal spares me, I will be eternally grateful.]

Li Mo remained unmoved, and the demon cultivator was dragged into the Corpse Mountain.

The demon cultivator felt as though the world was spinning. Upon arriving at an unfamiliar location and sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the Corpse Mountain, he was filled with utter shock.

[What background does this person have? He certainly isn’t top-grade... Could it be a magical treasure?]

Realizing that being confined within a magical treasure meant no intention of being spared, his heart was filled with regret for coming to the Heart Beast Sect.

[Wait, he didn’t kill me immediately, which means he might be interested in the Demon Path. I must find a way to lure him in.]

The demon cultivator actively flipped his pages, revealing numerous extremely profound magical skills.

At first glance, the skills appeared to be orthodox Taoist techniques. In reality, anyone attempting to practice them would find their body rapidly decaying, forcing them to convert to the Demon Path.

Li Mo paid no mind to the demon cultivator’s schemes, his consciousness arriving directly at the Corpse Mountain.

"What brought you to the Heart Beast Territory?"

[Upper Immortal, I learned of top-grade Spirit Stones hidden within the Heart Beast Territory. If the Immortal grants me mercy, I will personally offer them.]

Li Mo curled his lips into a cold smile.

The matter of top-grade Spirit Stones still lingering... The demon cultivator was likely a pawn, doomed to have no good end even if he obtained them.

"Who told you about these Spirit Stones?"

"Forget it, I doubt I’ll get anything meaningful."

The demon cultivator had a foreboding sense of doom, but before he could respond, the world spun again, and he found himself transported into a sealed furnace.

Before him was a golden core.

The demon cultivator’s expression turned incredulous, as he had never witnessed such a flawless golden core, its surface devoid of any imperfections.

[A perfect golden core, belonging to Daoist Qingtian of the Sub-Device Sect and the Innate Five Dao Body.]

In the Demon Sect, Daoist Qingtian was already somewhat famous. After all, demon cultivators excel at killing and refining bodies, and the Five Dao Body’s value was self-evident.

The demon cultivator’s face revealed a trance-like admiration. He thought that Daoist Qingtian’s storing him within the Middle Dantian was likely to study the reality of the Human Demon Sect’s techniques.

Perhaps I truly have an opportunity to exploit.

If I can refine Daoist Qingtian into a Human Skin Page, it would indeed be great fortune.

The demon cultivator acted nonchalantly but soon noticed the Ash Golden Core slowly begin to spin, causing the temperature within the Middle Dantian to rise sharply.

[Upper Immortal...]

Blazing flames enveloped the book, creating crackling noises.

[No!]

Li Mo did not spare a glance for the demon cultivator’s miserable state.

Even if the End-of-the-World Dao Seed found the demon’s knowledge of Human Demon Sect techniques slightly incomplete, Li Mo had no interest in collaborating with a tiger or taking unnecessary risks.

As the book was reduced to ashes, a vast amount of information regarding the Human Demon Sect surged into his mind, and the sect’s bizarre cultivation system astonished him.

The inheritance of the Human Demon Sect relied entirely on ordinary books.

Perhaps books were hidden in the nooks and crannies of towns and villages, containing recorded introductory cultivation techniques.

On the surface, they seemed to require no conditions for cultivation. Yet once contacted, one’s body would irreversibly mutate, gradually turning into a human skin book.

However, this path to cultivation created loose cultivators within the Demon Sect.

Without a solid foundation, most would likely die prematurely before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage or degenerate into mindless demon creatures.

Li Mo’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

How to say it? Whether it was pill cultivation, artifact cultivation, or beast cultivation, all centered their practices around resisting death diseases. Yet demon cultivation embraced them instead.

To demon cultivators, death diseases were seen as heavenly gifts and opportunities.

The End-of-the-World Dao Seed refined this demon cultivator, Xin Benlu, who was a disciple with an intact inheritance from the Human Demon Sect. His cultivation technique, the "Blessing Record of Immortals," provided new insights.

Li Mo digested the content of the Blessing Record of Immortals and discovered that it contained a complete system up until the Nascent Soul stage, allowing him a glimpse into the terror of the Human Demon Sect.

Different death diseases were required for the entry-level techniques in their cultivation system. For instance, the Blessing Record of Immortals demanded infants who hadn’t survived the Fetal Stage Death Illness.

The Fetal Stage Death Illness primarily afflicted newborn infants, usually manifesting as congenital deformities.

Once an infant grasped the Blessing Record of Immortals, by the time they reached twenty years of age, their limbs would completely shrivel and fall off, starting their slow transformation into a book.

It was said that certain Demon Sect inheritances required the Thirty Years Old Stage Death Disease as a prerequisite for cultivation.

"So the Human Demon Sect doesn’t deliberately pass on techniques—no wonder it survives despite being besieged by Great Sects."

When the Blessing Record of Immortals advanced to the Weak Crown Period, the cultivator’s Taoist Body would turn into pages of a book containing alternative spells.

Xin Benlu’s talents were based on a Dual Dao Body.

The Innate Taoist Body, the "Feather Transformation Dao Body," usually shed its skin every hundred years to remove internal injuries and strengthen its foundation.

When the Feather Transformation Dao Body became a page recording the spell "Feather Transformation Immortal Technique," it could either transform Xin Benlu into a moth man several meters tall during use or be taught to others, creating new demons.

The Acquired Dao Body, "Heart Like Ghost," functioned similarly.

However, because Heart Like Ghost was an Acquired Dao Body, the Heart Like Ghost Skill derived from it was far weaker than the Feather Transformation Immortal Technique.

As for the Drawing Ground into Prison Skill, it was derived from the corpse of a loose cultivator with a Dao Body slain by Xin Benlu and refined into a page.

The resulting technique’s power was even weaker by three levels.

After reviewing the Blessing Record of Immortals, Li Mo inevitably thought of the Creation Book.

If not for the Creation Book accompanying him in this world from his past life, he might have suspected the involvement of a great power from the Human Demon Sect.

From the perspective of the Human Demon Sect, the Innate Five Dao Body likely seemed like a top-tier furnace, capable of nurturing five fairly potent spells.

Li Mo had no interest in mastering the Blessing Record of Immortals, nor did he meet the entry requirements.

From Xin Benlu’s memories, the only useful information was the refining method for the Soul Banner—a unique kind of Magic Artifact that greatly benefited the Hammer Anvil.

The Soul Banner had evolved over thousands of years. Although today’s refined banners wielded a Hundred-faced Beast, their essence retained the essence of ancient Demon Sect artifacts.

Through relentless killing, the Hundred-faced Beast could devour living beings, increasing the artifact’s rank.

Compared to the Corpse Mountain, which required condensing Sun, Moon, and Five Elements Spirit Patterns to reach imitation Magic Treasure status, the Soul Banner could naturally become a Magic Treasure simply by consuming enough life.

It would condense the "Soul Tomb" Spirit Patterns.

In some sense, the refining method of the Soul Banner was equivalent to a catalog of Magic Treasures.

Li Mo could clearly feel that Hammer Anvil’s understanding of Magic Treasures had reached a higher level, and it could even begin experimenting with some extreme Demon Sect Magic Treasure Catalogs using the Corpse Mountain Divine Power.

After Xin Benlu was completely reduced to ashes, the sole remaining item was a page specialized in item storage, containing a plethora of resources related to loose cultivators.

Li Mo inventoried the resources, noting that at least a thousand loose cultivators had fallen victim to Xin Benlu.

Though the loose cultivators’ magical skills were simplistic, their sheer quantity allowed the Primordial Dao Seed to absorb and subtly improve two of his primary cultivation techniques.

Li Mo transmitted the knowledge of the Immortal Locking Body’s utility to Tian Changwen.

He also informed Tian Changwen that, after approximately five years, he would return to the Sub-Device Sect but could take along four Jiedan Beast Cultivators and twenty to thirty Beast Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage.

With that, he once again entered seclusion.

If all went as expected, the Thirty Years Old Death Disease would likely manifest shortly after entering the Inner Sect. He needed to make thorough preparations in advance.
