Chapter 216: Chapter 215: Bizarre Silk Book

Deep within the spring’s eye sat a stone platform. It radiated a mysterious aura, as if weathered by countless eons, imbued with the unhurried Magic Power of time itself.

Qin Feng was extremely cautious. The beautiful woman exuded an aura of supreme majesty, a pressure no weaker than his own at his peak.

This was a Female Venerable!

This might be an ancient Female Venerable!

’Who on earth is this person, to have passed away while meditating in the Seven-Star Dragon Spring!’

As he pondered, Qin Feng moved closer to observe her, trying to find any clues.

However, the depths were murky, and there was nothing to reveal the beautiful woman’s identity.

This woman must have been an unrivaled beauty in life, yet she died so silently, without a single trace.

Qin Feng lamented, ’No matter how peerlessly elegant you were in life, in death, you are still just a pile of bones!’

Qin Feng felt incredibly fortunate. He had managed to reverse his Destiny, to live another life and once again strive for the Immortal Undying Demon God Realm.

Although the beautiful woman’s body was suffused with Death Qi, her flesh and features were perfectly preserved, making her look surprisingly full of Vitality.

’The soul is dead, but the body lives on!’ Qin Feng noted with detachment. This was a fate many a Martial Arts Strongman could not escape.

Many a Martial Arts Strongman possessed a physique comparable to a God-Demon, capable of obliterating suns and moons with their bare hands. They had already reached an immortal Realm, yet their Divine Souls could not escape the erosion of time.

Suddenly, a faint golden gleam flashed into existence!

’Something’s off!’

Qin Feng’s gaze sharpened. A flicker of curiosity crossed his mind as his eyes landed on the beautiful woman’s chest.

After a moment’s hesitation, Qin Feng took two steps forward and slipped his hand into the beautiful woman’s robes.

A faint, soul-stirring fragrance wafted out. Qin Feng’s fingers touched a cool, smooth object that carried its own delicate scent.

He pulled it out, and a faintly golden Silk Book appeared before his eyes.

This was the source of the golden gleam he had seen underwater.

"Supreme Forgetting Emotions Record!"

On the thin Silk Book, four powerful, ancient words were inscribed with forceful, elegant strokes. The words were like a vast, boundless black hole that instantly captivated Qin Feng’s mind.

Qin Feng felt his consciousness being dragged away, bit by bit, by an invisible Magic Power. He found himself involuntarily opening the Silk Book.

Unable to move or speak, Qin Feng could only watch helplessly as his own hands opened the Silk Book against his will.

A torrent of information from the Silk Book forcibly flooded into Qin Feng’s mind.

A look of utter shock flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes.

This Silk Book possessed a strange, unfathomable Magic Power. It seemed to contain a sliver of its author’s tyrannical will, forcibly implanting the Cultivation Technique within into anyone who touched the Demon Book.

It was a peerless, tyrannical, and wondrous technique called the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Record.

It was less a wondrous technique and more a Demon Technique.

This technique plumbed the depths of all changes between Heaven and Earth; it was a peerless, world-altering tome.

It divided its practice into three Realms.

First Realm: The Forgetting Human Realm. Forget all sentient beings, plunder the Creation and opportunities of Heaven and Earth, and perfect oneself.

Second Realm: The Self-Forgetting Realm. Forget one’s own passions and desires, sever all mortal and celestial wants, and merge one’s body with the Celestial Dao.

Third Realm: The Heaven-Forgetting Realm. Forget Heaven and Earth, forget Space-Time, and pursue the very Extreme of Heaven and Earth. Become without beginning and without end. Ultimately, you will obliterate Heaven and Earth—a world-ending act of the Supreme—to achieve your own perfection, reaching the Supreme Realm where ’I am Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth are me.’

If one could cultivate to the Third Realm, they could attain the body of a Supreme Demon God.

Among the ranks of Demon Gods, the Supreme Demon God was one of the most terrifying.

Clearly, this was a world-shocking technique, absolutely one of the most supreme among all Cultivation Techniques.

It might even be a legendary Mythical Level Technique!

Qin Feng’s consciousness felt as though it had been pulled from one black hole only to be plunged into a quagmire from which he could not escape.

The Silk Book also contained several terrifying Slaughter Techniques, such as the Supreme Demon-Defying Saber, the Seven Steps of the Dragon, and the God Slaying Earth Destruction Sword Technique. Each one was more vicious and horrifying than the last.

The killing intent pierced the very heavens!

Qin Feng’s consciousness became entranced, as if it had fallen into a Demon Realm. He became a Demon God, practicing each technique in turn. With a single slash, he slew God-Demons; with a single strike, he overturned heaven and earth; with a single step, the ground cracked and split, unleashing cataclysmic Earth Tribulations.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Within his sea of consciousness, his Lifebound Array Map—the Abyssal Demon Map—began to hum, desperately suppressing that strange, invasive will. Qin Feng’s mind snapped back to reality.

Qin Feng’s face paled, and he drew in a sharp breath. He had been bewitched by the Silk Book.

To his horror, Qin Feng suddenly discovered that the Innate True Qi in his body had begun to circulate on its own, forcibly cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Record.

It was as if a bizarre will was overriding his own, forcing him to cultivate. Another self had emerged from the depths of his soul—an extremely evil version that was cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Record of its own accord.

Qin Feng shut his eyes, a ruthless glint appearing within them. With immense willpower, he mobilized the power of his past life’s Divine Soul, forming it into a shocking sword strike that brutally severed that memory, taking a fragment of his own soul with it.

Qin Feng’s body shuddered, his face turning pale as death. His soul was wounded, and the injury reached his very Origin—this was no small matter. It could destabilize his foundation, perhaps even costing him the ability to ever reach the Demon God Realm.

The Silk Book fluttered from his grasp, caught by the undercurrent and swept away into the darkness.

Qin Feng let the Silk Book go, keeping his eyes shut. The tome was simply too malevolent. A single glance had been enough for that tyrannical will to infect his soul, forcing him to begin cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Record.

Even his soul had been tainted.

He had been forced to mutilate his own soul!

Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the stone platform, eyes still closed, and began absorbing the Seven Star Dragon Spring Water to heal the wound to his soul.

Several hours later, color had gradually returned to Qin Feng’s face, and he opened his eyes.

Qin Feng felt a wave of relief. He was fortunate to be inside a Spiritual Spring like the Seven-Star Dragon Spring.

The Spiritual Spring Water was perfect for Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence, which helped stabilize his own foundation.

Still, his soul had been damaged. If he couldn’t recover in time, it would likely affect his future Cultivation.

Fortunately, there was something right before his eyes that could fully heal such a grievous wound to his soul.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Dragon Pearl resting in the beautiful woman’s lap.

This Dragon Pearl was the very core of the True Dragon Cave, a rare Sacred Object. It contained an incredible, mysterious power capable of nourishing the soul and strengthening the spirit.

With a glint in his eye, Qin Feng rose to his feet, stepped forward, and tried to take the Dragon Pearl from the beautiful woman.

However, the Dragon Pearl seemed to have become one with the woman’s body. It was as immovable as a mountain; he couldn’t budge it in the slightest.

’Their energies have merged, making it impossible to take?’

Qin Feng’s gaze returned to the beautiful woman. Although her Divine Soul was gone, her body was immortal. It seemed to have absorbed the essence of the Dragon Pearl, its energy fusing with the orb’s to achieve a state of Unity of Man and Pearl.

If he couldn’t separate the two, Qin Feng feared he would not get his prize.

’Unless I can break their state of Unity of Heaven and Man... but she’s already dead. How can I possibly affect her enough to make her release the Dragon Pearl voluntarily!’

He mused, a bitter smile on his face. This was a monumental problem.

’No, that’s not right. Although her Divine Soul is gone, her body isn’t truly dead. It should still possess some basic instincts. If I can just stimulate those instincts, I can definitely make her release the pearl!’

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up, but his brow furrowed a moment later. How does one stimulate a woman’s instincts?

’Hit her?’

Qin Feng glanced at the beautiful woman. ’Leaving aside whether I could bring myself to strike such a beauty,’ he thought, ’her body is as indestructible as Vajra. With my current Cultivation, I couldn’t even make her flinch.’

Even if she just sat there, he probably couldn’t cut a single strand of her hair.

’Besides beating her senseless, what else could possibly stimulate a woman’s instincts?’ he wondered. As he mused, his gaze drifted and landed on the gentle rise and fall of the beautiful woman’s chest.

(Still five updates today. The second and third will be released together this afternoon.)
