Chapter 607 The Surprise of the Golden Bowl! Cultivating Both Immortal and Demonic Powers! Gui Muzi!
Blood Demon Art!
A fairly common demonic cultivation method, it includes all the cultivation techniques from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul.
Its rank isn't high, but it has a solid foundation and is less prone to going astray.
Chen Fan quickly browsed through the cultivation techniques in the jade slip, and then used the Soul Searching Technique to read the cultivation insights from the remnant soul of the demonic cultivator.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, having already made up his mind.
Afterwards, Chen Fan sat cross-legged in the cave and slowly transformed the spiritual power in his dantian into demonic energy according to the methods of the Blood Fiend Demon Art.
For ordinary righteous cultivators practicing demonic arts, the most difficult hurdle is converting spiritual energy into demonic energy.
It is important to know that when two completely different forces collide within the body, the slightest carelessness can rupture the meridians.
Fortunately, Chen Fan possessed the Fixed Word Technique, giving him control over power far beyond that of other cultivators of the same level. The conversion between spiritual energy and demonic energy was like a precise alchemy process in his hands, with every step controlled flawlessly.
However, at the very moment the demonic energy was formed, something unexpected happened to him.
The black soul banner he had hidden in his sleeve suddenly began to tremble on its own, and the millions of souls on the banner's surface let out a low whimper, their voices carrying an indescribable longing.
At the same time, the nascent demonic energy in Chen Fan's dantian seemed to be drawn by some force, surging towards the Black Soul Banner.
The two forces reacted violently the moment they made contact!
The demonic energy was frantically devoured by the soul power within the Black Soul Banner, and the soul power that devoured the demonic energy then flowed back into his dantian, nourishing the foundation of his demonic cultivation.
In the back and forth, the two forces formed a perfect cycle.
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
It should be noted that the Black Soul Banner is a magical artifact of the Soul Path, and the cultivation of demonic arts requires devouring divine souls to improve one's cultivation level.
There is a natural complementarity between the two!
What surprised Chen Fan even more was the golden bowl.
Just as the demonic energy and soul power were circulating within his body, the golden bowl felt slightly warm, and a gentle golden light surged into his dantian, purifying the violent and chaotic impurities within the demonic energy.
After being purified by the golden bowl, the demonic energy became as pure as water, coexisting with and not conflicting with the spiritual energy within his body, and even subtly forming a delicate balance.
Cultivating both immortal and demonic arts.
Chen Fan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a barely perceptible hint of surprise appearing at the corner of his mouth!
He has lived for nearly a hundred years, struggling in the cultivation world, and has never heard of a righteous cultivator who can truly cultivate both immortal and demonic cultivation methods at the same time without conflict.
However, Chen Fan possessed the Golden Bowl, the Fixed Word Technique, and the Black Soul Banner. These three things combined allowed him to forge a path that had never been trodden before, all by chance.
Cultivating both immortal and demonic arts means that his spiritual cultivation and demonic cultivation can promote and nourish each other, rather than hinder each other.
This means that Chen Fan's cultivation speed can be several times faster than that of other cultivators of the same level.
For him, the Boundless Sea was no longer just a place to do missions, but an untapped treasure trove of cultivation.
The demonic energy and souls within those demonic cultivators were all highly nourishing to him!
Demonic energy can be used to cultivate demonic arts, while the soul can simultaneously strengthen both demonic arts and the Black Soul Banner. Furthermore, the demonic artifacts, demonic pills, and cultivation techniques in the storage bags of those demonic cultivators can all be transformed into cultivation resources that Chen Fan needs.
He then refined the Black Soul Banner again, slightly altering its shape.
The banner, which was originally as black as ink, turned into a dark red like blood. The yin energy of a million souls was also wrapped in demonic energy, exuding a pure demonic aura.
Chen Fan himself withdrew all his cultivator aura, outwardly manifested his demonic cultivation at the early Nascent Soul stage, and used the Fixed Word Technique to slightly adjust his appearance.
On that fair, beardless face, a cold glint appeared between his brows, and coupled with his dark red demonic aura, he looked exactly like a rogue demonic cultivator who had been struggling in the boundless sea for many years.
"From today onwards, our family name will be Gui Muzi," Chen Fan murmured to himself in the darkness, memorizing the name.
Over the next few days, Chen Fan, disguised as a demonic cultivator, frequented various reef islands and black markets where demonic cultivators gathered, using his early Nascent Soul cultivation to hunt down lone demonic cultivators.
He never provokes demonic cultivators with sectarian backgrounds; he only targets lone, independent demonic cultivators.
Most of these people are ruthless and make a living by plundering in the boundless sea. Their hands are stained with the blood of countless righteous cultivators and their fellow practitioners.
Chen Fan felt no guilt whatsoever about killing them.
After killing someone, he quietly extracted their soul with the Black Soul Banner, and then used his demonic powers to devour all the demonic energy within their body.
He casually tossed his physical body into the boundless sea to feed the demons, and put the storage bag into his pocket.
After each kill, Chen Fan would find a secluded rocky cave to meditate and refine the demonic energy he had devoured, purifying it with a golden bowl before integrating it into his dantian.
In just a few days, his demonic cultivation level rose from the early stage of Nascent Soul to the middle stage, just one step away from the late stage of Nascent Soul.
After the Black Soul Banner devoured a large number of demonic cultivators' souls, the vortex of soul power on the banner surface became more solid, and a faint demonic quality was added to the howls of millions of souls.
Later, Chen Fan was no longer satisfied with hunting down individual rogue cultivators.
He circled several rocky islands on the nautical chart that were occupied by small demonic cultivator forces, infiltrated them with a concealment array, sealed off the entire island with array flags, and then used the Black Soul Banner to wipe out the souls of all the demonic cultivators on the island.
Each time he massacred an island, his cultivation level would rise a notch. Within just a few days, his demonic cultivation, which was at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, broke through again, officially entering the late-Nascent Soul stage.
Meanwhile, the spiritual power cultivation in his dantian also rose steadily under the nourishment of the demonic arts, getting closer and closer to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
The benefits of cultivating both immortals and demons were greater than Chen Fan had anticipated.
Under the purification and harmonization of the golden bowl, the two techniques not only did not hinder each other, but instead formed a positive feedback loop that catalyzed each other.
An increase in spiritual power cultivation will lead to an increase in demonic power cultivation, and an increase in demonic power cultivation will in turn nourish spiritual power cultivation. This kind of cultivation speed is something that even those exceptionally talented geniuses can only dream of.
On the seventh day, Chen Fan slaughtered all the small demonic cultivation sects on the last reef island surrounding Demon Abyss Island.
When he emerged from the reef island shrouded in black mist, there was no one left alive on the entire island.
He drained the souls of all the demonic cultivators on the island with the Black Soul Banner and devoured their demonic energy with his demonic arts, leaving only withered shells scattered in various caves.
After devouring the souls of hundreds of demonic cultivators, the Black Soul Banner became even more profound, its blood-red light faintly revealing a chilling ferocity, and the howls of a million souls were even more terrifying than before.
He collected and inventoried all the storage bags on the island, seizing more than ten magical artifacts alone, and mountains of magical pills and spirit stones of various grades. Although these things were not of much use to him, they would still fetch a considerable fortune if sold on the black market for demonic cultivators.
