The Demon Lord of All Forms

Chapter 19 The Scripture of Flying Immortals

Yun Weiyang did not kill these people.

Yun Weiyang took the head of the Qingxuan Sect Leader out of the storage bag. The head was shriveled, the face was distorted, the eye sockets were sunken, and the mouth was wide open, as if it was still making a silent roar before it died.

Yun Weiyang, carrying the head's hair bun, walked to the stone wall, raised her arm, and tossed it over.

The head traced an arc in the air and landed at the entrance of the Yunlei Sect's territory. It rolled a few times and stopped next to a blue stone.

Then Yun Weiyang turned and left. He knew very well what would happen next.

The disciples of the Yunlei Sect will discover this head and recognize it as the head of the Feixian Sect. They will be shocked and overjoyed. The old ghost Yunlei will come in person and take advantage of the Feixian Sect's leaderlessness to swallow up the spiritual veins in one fell swoop. He might even march on Qishan Mountain and wipe the Feixian Sect out of the woods.

The disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect stationed on the spiritual vein had no chance of survival under the attack of the Cloud Thunder Sect.

Everything would be perfect. To outsiders, the Flying Immortal Sect would appear to have been wiped out by the Cloud Thunder Sect. The Qingxuan Sect Leader would have died near the spiritual vein, and his head would have been thrown at the gate of the Cloud Thunder Sect. It would seem as if the Cloud Thunder Sect was showing off its power. No one would suspect Yun Weiyang, and no one would even know that Yun Weiyang existed.

Yun Weiyang walked lightly along the mountain path, took out the Flying Immortal Sword from her storage bag, and casually swung it. The sword was light and graceful, and the sword light was like a feather. It shone with a cold luster in the sunlight. This was a perfect-level magic weapon, which was more powerful than the Soul-Startling Bell. With a smile, Yun Weiyang put the sword back into her storage bag and took out a yellowed jade slip from it.

This is the Flying Immortal Sect's inherited cultivation technique, the "Flying Immortal Scripture," which Yun Weiyang found in the room of Sect Leader Qingxuan.

Besides the "Flying Immortal Scripture," Yun Weiyang also collected some other methods from the Flying Immortal Sect: a few rudimentary Qi cultivation techniques, a few sword techniques, a teleportation technique, and an introductory weapon-refining technique. These were all unimpressive things, and Su Qinghe didn't even bother to look at them, simply tossing them into a corner of his storage bag.

But the Flying Immortal Scripture is different.

As Yun Weiyang walked, she probed the jade slip with her divine sense to read its contents.

The Flying Immortal Scripture is the signature technique of the Flying Immortal Sect. It is said to have been passed down from the Flying Immortal Path in the Middle Ages. The Flying Immortal Path was once a major sect in the world. However, it was destroyed during the great calamity at the end of the Middle Ages, and its lineage was cut off. Now, the first sect leader of the Flying Immortal Sect obtained this Flying Immortal Scripture by chance and founded the Flying Immortal Sect based on it.

The contents of the jade slip were incomplete, containing only the first four levels, and the highest level one could cultivate to was the Dao Embryo Realm. Even so, the quality of this cultivation technique surprised Su Qinghe slightly.

In the memories of the Qingxuan Sect Leader, Su Qinghe learned about the ranking of cultivation techniques in Tianyuan Jiuzhou, from highest to lowest: Immortal Scripture, Heavenly Technique, Earthly Canon, Mysterious Book, and Yellow Register.

Immortal scriptures are legendary existences that lead directly to the celestial immortal path. Celestial techniques are the treasures of various great sects, with no more than thirty in the entire Tianyuan Nine Provinces. Earthly scriptures are the core inheritances of top sects, such as the "Thousand Star Map" of Xingxiu Sea and the "Heavenly Ghost Underworld God Demon Scripture" of Jiuyou Sect.

The quality of the "Flying Immortal Scripture" is on the same level as the "Thousand Star Chart" and the "Heavenly Ghost and Netherworld God Demon Scripture," all of which are Earthly Scriptures. However, the three scrolls of cultivation techniques in Su Qinghe's hands are all incomplete, and the "Flying Immortal Scripture" is even more severely incomplete. Under such circumstances, it is truly remarkable that the Qingxuan Sect Leader was still able to forge a superior Dao Embryo. If the Qingxuan Sect Leader had been able to join a prestigious sect when he was young, he might have already advanced to the Refining Spirit stage and condensed the Golden Core.

Through the memories of Zhang Guangze and the Qingxuan Sect Leader, Su Qinghe has figured out that the Qi Refining and Longevity realms are just laying the foundation, preparing for the formation of the Dao Embryo. In the cultivation world, only by stepping into the Dao Embryo realm can one truly become a cultivator.

The formation of the Dao embryo is of paramount importance, as it represents the establishment of the foundation. Once formed, it is virtually impossible to change in the future.

The quality of the Dao Embryo is directly related to the cultivator's cultivation speed and strength after forging the Dao Embryo. Therefore, all sects and schools in Tianyuan Nine Provinces attach great importance to the forging of the Dao Embryo. Before forging the Dao Embryo, the disciples of the top sects often prepare for several years or even more than ten years, collecting all kinds of rare and precious materials, just to forge a high-quality Dao Embryo.

Zhang Guangze was an outer disciple of the Nine Nether Sect. He had forged a mid-grade Yin Demon Soul Refining Dao Embryo. In a major demonic sect like the Nine Nether Sect, a mid-grade Dao Embryo was only the entry level, barely enough to qualify as an inner disciple. The true disciples, on the other hand, forged superior Dao Embryos, and there were even one or two geniuses who forged top-grade Dao Embryos.

The Qingxuan Sect Leader surprised Su Qinghe somewhat. He had managed to forge a superior Heavenly Breeze Dao Embryo using the incomplete Flying Immortal Scripture. If he had the complete cultivation method or sufficient resources, he might have been able to break through to the Refining God Realm. Unfortunately, the Qingxuan Sect Leader was born into a small sect like the Flying Immortal Sect. He had no resources, no backing, and his lifespan was exhausted, ultimately benefiting Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe looked at the mountain road ahead through Yun Weiyang's eyes, pondering in his heart.

Since the Dao Embryo is so important, he naturally wants to forge a top-tier one. Su Qinghe possesses three Earth-level cultivation techniques: the Thousand Star Chart, the Heavenly Ghost Netherworld God Demon Scripture, and the Flying Immortal Scripture, but all are incomplete. The highest Dao Embryo that can be forged from incomplete techniques is only of superior quality.

Zhang Guangze is the best example. He had the first three levels of the "Heavenly Ghost and Netherworld God Demon Codex", but he only forged a mid-level Dao embryo. It wasn't that his cultivation method was not good enough, but that the inheritance he received was too incomplete, and he lacked many key mental techniques.

Su Qinghe needs a complete cultivation method and a way to forge a top-tier Dao embryo.

The best choice would naturally be to join a top-tier sect. Yun Weiyang's current cultivation of the "Thousand Star Scripture" condenses twenty-five star beads from the Seven Mansions of Xuanwu. The most suitable sect for Yun Weiyang is Xingxiuhai, one of the Nine Outer Sects.

However, Xingxiu Sea is far away in Xingzhou, which is countless miles away from Cangzhou. With Yun Weiyang's cultivation level of Qi Refining, he would probably die before he could even walk there. But Yun Weiyang was not in a hurry. Success would be good, but failure would not matter. He could first condense a superior Dao Embryo, and then take the other avatars to Xingzhou. In any case, the avatars were just consumables for Su Qinghe.

After leaving Qishan, Yun Weiyang headed northeast. Xingxiu Sea was far away in Xingzhou. Even with his Qi Refining Realm cultivation, he wouldn't be able to get there in ten years. So Yun Weiyang wasn't in a hurry; there was no point in being anxious.

Traveling at his own pace, Yun Weiyang would visit villages and towns whenever he came across them, and stay in cities for a couple of days whenever he encountered one. Wherever he went, he would go out at night and devour the souls of mortals along the way. Of course, he wouldn't devour all the mortals, just a few here and there, as too many would attract attention.

But what Yun Weiyang truly wanted to eat was not ordinary people.

He is a monk.
