RUMBLE!
The stone doors of the Exorcism Tower slamd shut.
Wang Xiao’s vision plunged into darkness.
Only the Jade Pendant on his chest emitted a faint glow.
WHOOSH—
A sinister wind howled past, carrying a thick, bloody stench.
It gave Wang Xiao goosebumps.
He glanced at the Jade Pendant on his chest, his eyes flickering.
[Analyzing...]
[Analysis Complete]
[Purifying Evil Talisman: Spirit Level Second Grade, refined from Supre Yang Jade. Nourished for a century by Shou Chengzi’s Magical Power, it is pure yang to the extre. It automatically protects its master, warding off attacks from Demon Fiends and ghosts below the Entering the Hall realm.]
Wang Xiao let out a sigh of relief as he read the Jade Pendant’s description.
’To think Shou Chengzi was willing to part with such a precious treasure. He seems to be a decent person.’
’But how long can this Jade Pendant protect ?!’
After all, the Grand Celestial Sacrifice was still a year away.
He had to survive in this Exorcism Tower for a year to have even a sliver of hope.
Relying on the Purifying Evil Talisman alone definitely wouldn’t be enough.
’I may not have any Incense, so I can’t practice this world’s Incense Fire God Creation Path. But I can practice Martial Arts, hone my blood and physique to generate Inner Qi. That might give a fighting chance!’
Wang Xiao pondered this.
He knew that this world’s Incense Fire God Creation Path involved first refining Incense to open the Mud Ball Palace, then transforming the Incense into one’s own Spirit Talisman within it.
The subsequent Sealing relied on the Spirit Talisman to nourish the physical body and Yin Spirit, allowing the Spirit Talisman, body, and Yin Spirit to fully integrate.
This was equivalent to being ordained by Heaven and Earth, officially becoming a Cultivator.
One could then cast all sorts of Magic without reciting any mantras.
This was the complete opposite of the Martial Arts he practiced.
The Martial Arts he practiced involved honing the physical body and refining the Spirit first, then breaking through the Heaven-Breaking Pass in one go to open the Mud Ball Palace!
This world, on the other hand, opened the Mud Ball Palace first before honing the body and Spirit.
’It all has to do with Incense. But I don’t necessarily have to follow this world’s system of Cultivation completely.’
Wang Xiao had his own path to walk.
Since this world’s path was currently blocked to him, he didn’t mind trying a different way.
He didn’t dwell on it any longer.
Wang Xiao began circulating his Martial Arts technique, the *Sword Dao True Understanding: Blood Movent Chapter*, and resud his assault on his Lower Dantian.
However, this body’s Dantian was truly abnormal. Circulating his blood and qi was extrely difficult, making it impossible to break open the Dantian and produce Inner Qi.
As for generating Inner Qi through Bone Marrow Refining, that was even more impossible without sufficient great dicines to nourish him.
’This makes no sense. I can feel that this body’s organs and everything are no different from a normal infant’s. Why is the Dantian so hard to break open?!’
Wang Xiao furrowed his brow.
He circulated the Blood Movent Chapter for a while longer, only to feel a wave of weakness.
This body was an infant’s, after all. It was far too weak to endure long periods of Cultivation.
However, just as he was about to rest for a mont...
WHOOSH—
A foul, sinister wind gusted into his face.
The next mont, Wang Xiao saw three monsters with the heads of pigs and the bodies of n slowly step out from the shadows.
Their bodies were covered in stiff bristles, their faces were hideous, their figures were bloated, and saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths!
Their scarlet eyes seed exceptionally bright in the darkness.
’Demons.’
Wang Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of these Pig Demons.
He knew that this land was extrely peculiar.
Humans, demons, and ghosts coexisted.
Among them, demons were born from various beasts that had absorbed the unique spiritual energy of this land, causing their bodies to gradually transform.
They had special constitutions and could grow stronger just by eating humans!
Therefore, humans were a great tonic to them.
The stronger the human, the more attractive they were to them.
"Boss, why would those pin-nosed Daoists send a baby in here? Is it a snack for us?!"
"I can already sll the at. This little head must be delicious."
"Sothing’s not right. Why does this baby have a faint aura of Ghost Qi?"
"Who cares if he’s human or ghost! This old pig can’t stand the hunger anymore. I’m eating at now!"
One of the Pig Demons finally lost control of its desires. It took a large stride and lunged at Wang Xiao, reaching out to grab him.
At that very mont, however...
The Purifying Evil Talisman on Wang Xiao’s body suddenly burst with light, blocking the Pig Demon’s trotter.
"Damn it, it’s a Dharma Artifact!"
The Pig Demon’s expression changed drastically when it saw the Purifying Evil Talisman on Wang Xiao.
It turned to flee.
But it was too slow.
After blocking the Pig Demon’s attack, the Purifying Evil Talisman shot out a beam of red light that blasted toward the demon!
BAM!
The Pig Demon had no power to resist and was instantly blown into chunks of flesh by the red light.
Blood and bits of flesh splattered across Wang Xiao’s face and body.
"Second Brother!"
Seeing this, the other two Pig Demons’ expressions changed dramatically.
They didn’t dare get any closer. Wisely, they turned and ran.
Faintly, an Essence flew out from the dead Pig Demon’s body and was absorbed by the Exorcism Tower!
’Whew, good thing I have this Jade Pendant to protect . I would’ve been dead otherwise.’
Wang Xiao was still shaken.
These demons weren’t strong, but they were more than capable of tearing him to shreds.
He didn’t dare to rest any longer and resud his Cultivation.
This ti, however...
Sothing miraculous happened.
His Dantian, which had been unbreakable just monts ago, had actually started to loosen.
’Huh? What’s going on? The Blood Movent seems easier, and my Dantian feels looser. Am I imagining things?!’
Wang Xiao’s eyes focused as he circulated the Blood Movent Chapter again.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
In an instant, waves of blood and qi let out a faint roar, surging toward his Dantian like a current of water.
CRACK—
The Dantian finally broke open.
A warm stream of air surged out from the Dantian, flowing into his limbs and bones.
Wang Xiao felt his entire body grow stronger and more powerful!
’It wasn’t an illusion. It really did get easier!’
Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up.
However, a trace of doubt also rose in his mind.
He had just been performing the Blood Movent step-by-step. How could such a huge change have suddenly occurred?
Suddenly, his gaze shifted to the flesh and blood left behind by the Pig Demon.
Just now, it seed that flesh and blood had splattered onto him.
And only then had his Cultivation beco easier.
’I have to try it!’
Wang Xiao now had so strength. He imdiately broke free from his swaddling clothes and crawled toward the flesh and blood nearby.
Then, he opened his mouth, first licking the blood on the ground, then biting off a fingernail-sized piece of flesh and swallowing it.
As the flesh entered his body, Wang Xiao felt an inexplicable power surge within him.
His body was like a parched land receiving sweet rain; it grew intensely desperate, and his five viscera began to contract continuously, digesting the flesh.
’It really works!’
Wang Xiao imdiately circulated the Blood Movent Chapter.
The next mont, the Inner Qi in his body began to grow at a visible rate.
It only stopped growing once the flesh was completely digested.
’In this world, I’ve never heard of anyone increasing their Cultivation by eating the flesh and blood of demons. Could it be... a special trait of this Ghost Infant body?’
Wang Xiao mused.
His eyes gradually grew brighter.
If that was the case, then this Exorcism Tower was, contrary to expectations, his own Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.
By relying on the demons in the Exorcism Tower, he would be able to break through realms at a rapid pace!
