Chapter 1038: 569 Chapter 1038: 569 Chen Mobai, after hearing Elder Ming’s transmitted ssage, inadvertently paused while giving instructions to Hong He.
“I just rembered sothing, you may go now.”
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
Although Hong He was a bit surprised, he still nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
“What is the matter?”
Chen Mobai took out the Soul Nourishing Wood, and the silvery-grey silhouette erged, relaying its findings.
“Report to the Saint Child, his spiritual power is mottled and complex. Besides the water elental energy that serves as its main component, the rest is due to the absorption and refining of other cultivation’s spiritual power through demonic cultivation techniques.”
After hearing Elder Ming’s words, Chen Mobai rembered that when he was deducing the Core Formation process for Hong He, he noticed so issues with his spiritual power.
He had always assud it was due to excessive consumption of elixirs.
“Are you sure there’s no mistake?”
Chen Mobai was sowhat incredulous, asking again carefully.
“Saint Child, the source of this demonic cultivation technique is the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture from one of our five scriptures. With the betrayal of the second-generation Saint Heir, he modified it into the Nine Abysses and Nine Dark Sea-devouring Cultivation Technique…”
This was also a very famous event in ancient tis for the Longevity Sect. The Saint Heir that defected later combined demonic way secret thods with the teachings he took with him, achieving quick perfection and proclaiming himself the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch.
His cultivation level was so high that not even the Heavenly Sovereign could deal with him.
After the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch attained perfection in his cultivation, he founded the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, which specifically opposed the Longevity Sect.
At that ti, Elder Ming, vying for the position of Saintess, often engaged in magical duels with mbers of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, hunting each other for rit.
Thus, the presence of the Sea-devouring Demonic Art on Hong He could not be concealed from her.
“The Jiutian Dangmo Sect?”
After his Core Formation, Chen Mobai had thoroughly researched the Six Domains of the Eastern Land. However, the data on the Eastern Li Region, which is the most mysterious and desolate part, was scarce.
It was only known that eighteen sects of the demon path had left their legacies there, but among them, the na of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect was not listed.
“Saint Child, when I was in contact with Tu Daohua, I asked him about this issue.”
“After the disappearance of the Longevity Sect, the Jiutian Dangmo Sect gradually fell into obscurity.”
“However, most of their complete inheritances were preserved. So were absorbed by the Eighteen Demon Sects, and so joined the Eastern Emperor Court, becoming part of the Hall of Ten Directions – the Subrged Abyss Island.”
After hearing Elder Ming’s words, Chen Mobai felt it was sowhat excessive to label the Jiutian Dangmo Sect as a demonic sect.
After all, he knew the backstory of the Longevity Sect; the Saint Heir probably defected upon discovering this, rely to save his own life.
This implied that Hong He might have unwittingly obtained a portion of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect’s or Subrged Abyss Island’s cultivation inheritance.
And to Elder Ming, this was indeed a demonic cultivation technique.
“Tell about this ‘Nine Abysses and Nine Dark Sea-devouring Cultivation Technique’.”
Chen Mobai wanted to fully understand the matter before making a judgnt.
“Saint Child, the distinctive feature of the Sea-devouring Cultivation is its ability to absorb the spiritual power of the sa cultivation technique and use it for oneself, so practitioners often focus on very common and widely practiced Qi Cultivation techniques, allowing for more options to consu.”
“Initially, the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch was able to perfect his cultivation so quickly because he constantly hunted down sect mbers who practiced the Black Emperor Abyssal Scripture.”
“And while escaping from the sect with bounty hunters on his trail, the Sea-devouring Devil Monarch even absorbed the spiritual power of the sect’s Abyss Sea True Monarch, afterward, his demonic cultivation beca perfect, and he beca unstoppable.”
Elder Ming’s explanation made Chen Mobai think of the elental theory practiced by the Immortal Gates.
Whereas the Immortal Gates developed the Five Elents Essence by utilizing this principle to artificially synthesize various types of Earthly Fiendish Qi,
The Sea-devouring Cultivation undoubtedly evolved from the recognition that it’s easier to rge similar energies.
From the perspective of cultivating through the absorption of other cultivators’ spiritual power, it can indeed be considered a demonic art.
Hong He, as a disciple of Fu Zongjue, had consistently practiced the unremarkable Azure Waves Cultivation, a Water Attribute Cultivation Technique, further corroborating this point.
Chen Mobai thought back to when he had felt Hong He’s pulse; the mottled and complex spiritual power was indeed identical to the description of the Sea-devouring Cultivation.
However, in the Tianhe Realm, the theoretical foundation of the cultivation techniques could not possibly be as comprehensive as at the Immortal Gates’, causing this type of mottled spiritual energy and instability at the foundation while practicing this Sea-devouring Cultivation.
If Hong He were to form his core in the future, it is likely he would be obstructed by this spiritual energy issue.
Chen Mobai wanted to summon Hong He for a direct inquiry. However, given Tianhe Realm’s stance on demonic arts, it was better for him, as the Sect Leader, to feign ignorance.
This way, even if it was exposed in the future, it would just seem like the sect had produced an unrighteous disciple, not that the entire sect was a remnant of the demon path.
After all, within the Eastern Land, there exists the Jiutian Dangmo Sect, a holy land known for its strong animosity towards devil cultivators.
If signs of demonic practice are found, simply reporting them to the sect would generally prompt them to send soone to investigate.
And with the God-Transcending cultivator, Profound Heaven True Monarch, revered as the foremost person in the Eastern Land, even in the remote Barren East, major powers and families keep their distance from devil cultivators.
After pondering for a while, Chen Mobai still decided to pretend to be unaware, since Luo Yixuan might also potentially practice demonic cultivation in the future.
Nevertheless, he felt it was important to keep a close watch on Hong He. If he truly absorbed spiritual power from other cultivators through demonic art for his own use, it would be better to find an excuse for him to leave the Divine Wood Sect in the future.
