Chapter 1529: Chapter 1525: Going Against the Path! (Sixth Update, Supplementary)

"Kid, there’s no need for you to be so surprised."

The old man’s eyes were shut, as if he were asleep, and only after a long while did they finally open, a flash of light passing through!

"As a seventh-grade Physiognomist who’s just a step away from the eighth grade, there are things about you that cannot escape my eyes. Of course, I won’t easily reveal this secret to others, so you can be at ease about that."

Despite this assurance, Ren Feifan was still shocked!

The mystical space was his biggest secret, and almost no one knew about it!

But now, it seemed like the old man had figured it out!

Does this mean that other experts can easily discover it too?

If that’s the case, Ren Feifan would have to be more careful in the future.

"Kid, you seem rather frightened? That’s not like you," said the old man calmly.

Ren Feifan couldn’t stand the old man’s cryptic talks anymore and directly placed a hand on the old man’s shoulder.

From behind, the two of them looked as though they were leaning on each other.

With a grin, Ren Feifan even tugged at the old man’s beard and said, "Old man, look... we’ve been friends for so many years, almost like brotherhood across generations. So... what else do you know? In other words, can you figure out the origins of some things for me?"

"No."

"How about my future?"

"No."

"Damn it, old man, just cut the crap and tell me straight, how do you know about the phantom shadow in my body?" Ren Feifan said coldly.

Finally, the old man turned to Ren Feifan, his eyes deep and meaningful, and after a long time, he said, "If I’m not mistaken, the phantom shadow in your body is related to the Demon Sect, probably a high-ranking member who perished. I noticed something was off the time you were possessed because you’ve never cultivated the Demon Sect’s technique, but at that moment, it was as though you had suddenly learned it.

Anyone would be suspicious of this."

Ren Feifan suddenly realized, not without a long sigh of relief.

So the old man had merely noticed the presence of the Demon King and hadn’t actually perceived the mystical space—that meant other experts couldn’t either.

Suddenly, the old man pulled out a Compass, his finger sliding quickly across it!

A drop of essence blood was forced out!

The old man dabbed the essence blood on Ren Feifan’s forehead, where a golden light flickered.

"Kid, I’ve now isolated that phantom shadow within your body, and it won’t hear our conversation going forward. You must listen carefully!"

"First, as you said, we’ve known each other for many years. As a friend, or as Shi Han’s grandfather, there’s something I must warn you about.

If you can’t control that shadow, it will control you. The people of the Demon Sect are devious and can possess souls; remember not to let that shadow dominate and distract you.

Otherwise, you won’t be yourself anymore, but a puppet of the Demon Sect within you!"

Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed; indeed, he couldn’t feel the mystical space anymore, so he said, "Actually, I’m aware of this. That guy keeps nudging me towards demonhood, trying to let demon nature control me, probably to possess my body. Old man, I’m growing increasingly impressed with you."

The old man nodded, "Just as I expected. Second, concerning the Blood Moon power in your body, try not to use it if possible. Though it can enhance and strengthen your power, the Blood Moon will also slowly turn you demonic, eventually leading you to the Demon Path! That’s the drawback of greed."

Ren Feifan hesitated; he only used the Blood Moon power when facing experts or in unavoidable situations, normally opting not to.

But what about every dangerous situation he finds himself in?

Moreover, Ren Feifan harbored a great doubt in his heart.

It was about the Demon King who had been associated with the second Stone Pillar. According to the rules of the mystical space, her power and Cultivation Techniques should have transferred to him, yet why had she not actively passed them on to him from start to end, but could also freely come and go through the mystical space?

"Third, kid, since that guy wants to possess your body, why not turn the tables and actively seek to possess his power! Not only would this solve your problem, but it would also greatly increase your strength!"

Ren Feifan’s eyes brightened. He had never thought of such a move.

Probably, the mystical space meant the same thing—the first inheritance was given to him, but for the second, he had to rely on his own abilities to gain it!

"Old man, do you have a way to possess that phantom shadow of the Demon Sect?" Ren Feifan asked excitedly.

"Relax your body, let me place something into your mind!"

Having said that, Ren Feifan did just that; he didn’t believe the old man would harm him.

The old man’s fingers formed gestures, muttering words, and suddenly, he pointed again at Ren Feifan’s forehead.

Ren Feifan instantly felt a surge of powerful information rushing in, giving him a splitting headache.

Subsequently, three large characters emerged in his mind!

"Devouring the Heavens Technique!"

He quickly skimmed through the text of Devouring the Heavens Technique and found it extremely abstruse, barely understanding a few lines.

At that moment, the old man’s aged voice rose again: "Devouring the Heavens Technique is a method to devour souls. It cannot kill nor can it strengthen you, but it can devour the souls and spirits within your body—absorbing their cultivation and martial skills!

For most people, this might seem like a useless Cultivation Technique because the cases of powerful spirits possessing cultivators are extremely rare, but for you, it might be a tremendous opportunity.

Once you understand all the words inside, Devouring the Heavens Technique will naturally be mastered by you. It might be a lengthy process, or it might just take a moment, all depending on your insight into Devouring the Heavens Technique."

Ren Feifan was so grateful he almost rushed to kiss the old man, but at the sight of the old man’s wrinkly skin, he held himself back.

He just couldn’t do it!

The old man saw Ren Feifan’s lips move and dismissively waved his hand, "Kid, if you keep this up, I’ll take back Devouring the Heavens Technique! Don’t get too excited; it’s a fringe technique, and in the annals of history, not many have understood its text, but understanding even half should suffice to protect you from being devoured."

After speaking, the old man hunched his back and headed deeper, pausing after a few steps as if he had just recalled something, he casually said: "Kid, go to the Qinglanzong Grand Hall; if I’m not mistaken, someone will come looking for you in ten minutes."

With that, the old man disappeared from Ren Feifan’s sight, leaving behind a solitary silhouette.

Ren Feifan, having acquired Devouring the Heavens Technique, was in high spirits and hummed a tune as he headed towards the Qinglanzong Grand Hall.

He was indeed curious to see who would be searching for him at this hour.
