I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 306 - 248: Young Venerable Demon Planting (Part 2)

Chapter 306: Chapter 248: Young Venerable Demon Planting (Part 2)

"Catch well the cultivation technique I’m transmitting to you."

Before the words fell, the golden light at his fingertips shot like an arrow, piercing straight into Chen Sheng’s forehead.

"Buzz——"

Chen Sheng only felt a warmth in his forehead, and a vast stream of information rushed into his sea of consciousness, impacting his awareness like a flood breaking a dam.

In the sea of consciousness, a cultivation technique named "Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy" slowly unfolded, the pages emitting a dark golden glow.

The recorded cultivation techniques were profound and obscure, the path from Qi Cultivation to Nascent Soul clear and distinct, yet each word carried a sense of ruthlessness.

But before he could savor the details of the technique, everything suddenly went black before his eyes, as if his sea of consciousness was shrouded in thick fog, and his consciousness instantly plunged into a semi-conscious chaotic state.

Chen Sheng understood in his heart: "It’s here."

In the deep dimension connected by the Yin Yang Divine Soul, Chen Sheng’s "main consciousness" hovered like an observer high in the air, quietly watching everything below.

Long before the spirit testing, he had already activated the talent of [Yin Yang Divine Soul], transferring all core memories about the "Hundred Generations Book", the Four Seas Grotto Heaven inheritance, and the Demon Race’s body... to where the "Yin Soul" resided.

The "memories" exposed in the surface sea of consciousness were meticulously woven illusions.

There were memories of enduring humiliation and resentment as a child being bullied in the dojo, the secret joy and desire for power upon being found with a Celestial Grade Spiritual Root, and even jealousy when seeing other children receiving rewards...

These "memories" aligned perfectly with his superficial "timid and obedient" demeanor but added elements of the "Demon Heart" most valued by Demonic Cultivators, precisely catering to the scrutiny of the Emotionless True Monarch.

The power of the Divine Soul of the Emotionless True Monarch seeped into Chen Sheng’s surface sea of consciousness like a fine web, every strand exceedingly cautious, fearing any damage to Chen Sheng.

His power of the Divine Soul swept over each fragment of "memory", his brows occasionally furrowing—obviously displeased with the timidity reflected in the "memories".

Yet they slowly relaxed at times, especially upon seeing fragments of "jealousy" and "desire for power", a glint of satisfaction flashing in his cold gaze.

After half an hour, he finally withdrew his power of the Divine Soul and muttered to himself:

"Not bad, even at a young age, possesses traits of a Demon Heart, understands resentment, and understands striving. This is a good seedling for practicing my Path of Emotion Destruction. Whether you can completely become emotionless and reach the Dao depends on your fate."

His satisfaction was undisguised in his tone. The "Life-Annihilating" before him had the talent of a Celestial Grade Spiritual Root and a mentality fitting for the Demon Dao, making him the perfect object for cultivation.

After speaking, he raised his hand again, sending a gentle golden spirit light into Chen Sheng’s forehead.

This spirit light contained no information; instead, it carried a warm energy that, like a clear spring, dispersed the fog in his sea of consciousness.

The darkness before Chen Sheng’s eyes gradually receded, and his consciousness slowly awoke. He deliberately blinked, with a few traces of just-woken confusion, even slightly shaking his head, perfectly portraying the state of "being disturbed by an external force".

"What I transmitted to you just now is the ’Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy’."

The Emotionless True Monarch sat back on the stone chair in the center of the quiet room, his tone slightly gentler than before:

"This is the supreme cultivation technique I created, refining a hundred classical works over a lifetime and a hundred years. Throughout the Path of Emotion Destruction, only we as master and disciple can cultivate it. First, browse through the first volume, and if there is anything you don’t understand, I will explain it to you in detail."

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Sheng quickly and obediently nodded, his gaze returning to the "Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy" in his sea of consciousness.

He deliberately slowed his browsing speed. When he reached the Chapter on "Emotionless and Desireless", he even knitted his brows, displaying a confused expression, like a genuine child facing an obscure cultivation technique.

After half an hour, he raised his head and hesitantly spoke: 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Master, I don’t understand something. The technique states ’to extinguish emotions first extinguish desire’, but if even the desire to cultivate is extinguished, how can one advance in realms?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of approval flashed in the Emotionless True Monarch’s eyes, clearly very pleased with the question. His body leaned slightly forward, patiently explaining:

"By ’extinguishing desire’, it refers to extinguishing the mortal’s greed, anger, and infatuation, not the pursuit of the Great Dao."

"You must remember, only by severing mortal emotions and desires can the heart mind be pure, unperturbed by external things. Only then can one cultivate faster. This is the true essence of ’extinguishing emotions’."

"Disciple understands! Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

Chen Sheng feigned a look of sudden realization, nodding repeatedly, even showing a hint of admiration in his eyes. Over the next period, he continued to pose several similar "basic questions".

"How to distinguish ’mortal desires’ from ’Dao desires’, after extinguishing emotions, can one still..."

Each question perfectly demonstrated a "curious yet eager to learn" attitude.

The Emotionless True Monarch answered each question with great patience, sometimes quoting scriptures, speaking of his "insights" during his own cultivation.

Sometimes he picked up a jade scroll on the stone table, drawing the trajectory of the cultivation technique, akin to a meticulous teacher guiding his disciple.

Before long, the Emotionless True Monarch stood up and said to Chen Sheng:

"Alright, that’s enough for today. Now, operate the cultivation technique, attempting to break through to the first layer of Qi Cultivation. Should you feel any discomfort, inform me immediately."

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Sheng respectfully responded, closed his eyes again, formed seals with his hands, and guided the spiritual energy according to the technique of the "Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy".

The Spirit Gathering Rune on the Cold Jade Meditation Mat instantly lit up, light cyan spiritual energy flooding into his body like a tide, flowing slowly along the trajectory recorded in the cultivation technique within his meridians.

The Emotionless True Monarch stood to the side, his gaze tightly monitoring the spiritual energy fluctuations around him, a trace of inconspicuous greed flashing in his eyes.

This body’s absorption speed of spiritual energy was faster than he expected, truly worthy of a Celestial Grade Spiritual Root.

...

Meanwhile, in the womb of the Peacock Emperor on the Peng Demon Cliff of the Great Wilderness Demon Court, the embryo of Chen Sheng suddenly had a stir in his heart.

Through the connection of the Yin Yang Divine Soul, his consciousness clearly sensed the "Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy" in the human body’s sea of consciousness, stirring a slight trace of mockery in his heart:

"Celestial Demon Emotionless, emotionless and ruthless, desireless and aimless, attempting to control all with ’emotionless’ — what a grand ambition, but pity it stands too low, riddled with flaws!"

He had inherited from the Four Seas Wanderer, a Refining Void Great Power, deeply understanding the true essence of the "Great Dao"—the Four Seas Wanderer realized the Path of Void by observing the tides of the Four Seas, befriending the heavens and earth, taking everything as a teacher to achieve Void Refining.

But the Emotionless Daoist was merely a Loose Cultivator Nascent Soul, attempting to sever ties with the heavens and earth through "emotionless", ridiculous and utterly misguided.

"Truly a frog at the bottom of a well!"

Chen Sheng’s consciousness sneered. Just with the first volume’s content, he could already see through the essence of this cultivation technique.

Seemingly profound, in reality, it’s a "Death Dao" forcing cultivators into a dead-end. Cultivating to a late stage, one either becomes a mindless killing machine or suffers a backlash from the technique, resulting in body explosion and death.

"However, this notion of ’Emotionless Demon Seed’ is somewhat ingenious."

Chen Sheng’s consciousness quickly captured the hidden threads within the technique.

The Emotionless Daoist intended to use him as a vessel for soul takeover and, using the "Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy" as a guide, plant an "Emotionless Demon Seed" within him. Once he mastered the cultivation, he would use the Demon Seed as a medium, transforming it into resources for his own realm breakthrough.

"What a cunning double strategy, no wonder the kind teacher facade."

Upon understanding this point, Chen Sheng’s consciousness instead relaxed:

"In this way, my life is safe for the time being. The Emotionless Daoist needs me to cultivate the ’Celestial Demon Emotionless Strategy’, needs me to grow into a ’qualified Demonic Embryo’. Before that, he certainly won’t make a move on me."
