A "rainbow" streaked rapidly across the sky.
Occasionally, this rainbow would dive down, and a demon would be instantly slain.
[Successfully slew a Xuan Realm Fourth Layer Snake Demon, gaining 400 Demon value Points!]
[Successfully slew an Extreme Realm Sixth Layer Rat Demon, gaining 50 Demon value Points!]
[Successfully slew a Xuan Realm Second Layer Deer Demon, gaining 200 Demon value Points!]
Li Xuanxiao looked down at the ground, faint golden light flickering in his eyes.
It had been over a month since he left the Demon Slaying Division, and during this time, he had been non-stop slaying demons and exterminating devils.
The Rainbow Light Movement, having reached Perfection, was undeniably fast. Combined with the Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal, it allowed him to discover and slay demons with astonishing efficiency.
And every time he slew a demon, the record jade tablet at his waist would flash once.
New numbers slowly emerged upon it.
Xuan: One Hundred and Eight
Extreme: Eight Hundred and Seventy-Five
"I've already killed 108 Xuan Realm Demon Kings and 875 Extreme Realm Great Demons..."
Li Xuanxiao opened his personal panel.
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Xuan Realm Peak]
[Cultivation Technique:
Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus (Transcendent)]
[Martial Arts:
Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal (Transcendent), Pure Lotus Flower (Perfection), Rainbow Light Movement (Perfection), Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash (Beginner), Shadow Clinging to the Bone (Beginner)]
[Demon value Points: 100000]
"Finally reached 100,000 Demon value Points..."
Li Xuanxiao smiled. Ever since unlocking the Deduction function, he had only thought about performing a ten-pull draw! Now he could finally have his wish granted!
Although gamblers meet a bad end, gamblers are truly happy.
Without any further ado, he directly opened the System Panel and selected the Cultivation Technique to deduce: Ancient Subtle Life Lotus!
Deduce!
[You look at the Ancient Subtle Life Lotus, which is already deeply ingrained in your mind, and begin recalling the process of initially Cultivating it. Finally, you are surprised to find that you actually have no Cultivation process...]
[You finally find some inspiration from the Buddhist Dharma scriptures, but due to insufficient learning, those fragmented inspirations cannot allow you to achieve enlightenment...]
[With your continuous thinking and attempts, your understanding of this Cultivation Technique has far surpassed the technique itself, yet even so, no higher-level enlightenment has been generated...]
[You feel like you are about to grasp something, unwilling to give up just like that. Thus, you enter seclusion to perceive Heaven and Earth, capturing those Auras that haunt your dreams...]
Watching the System light screen flash continuously, a little sweat seeped from Li Xuanxiao's forehead.
In this short moment, 40,000 Demon value Points had already been consumed!
What terrifying consumption.
If the final deduction failed, he would suffer a huge loss!
[You sit cross-legged on the ground, almost merging with Heaven and Earth itself. Images of a lotus growing begin to appear in your mind, and you start to gain insight...]
[You repeat countless times in your mind, from the growth, blooming, and decay of the lotus, to the cycle of life and death of all things in the world. Your Aura begins to change slightly...]
[A profoundly mysterious Aura gradually emerges from your body. You, in the different stages of birth, aging, sickness, and death, appear almost simultaneously. A smile finally appears on your face; you know you guessed correctly...]
[You release your mind and body, allowing instinct to absorb the gifts of Heaven and Earth...]
[Your mind becomes completely clear, and you finally comprehend a brand-new Cultivation Technique, which you name 'Mystic Lotus Art'!]
[Deduction successful!]
[Remaining Demon value Points: 10000]
Li Xuanxiao finally remembered that he could breathe. To deduce a new Martial Art actually cost him 90,000 Demon value Points!
He opened the System Panel to check.
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Xuan Realm Peak]
[Cultivation Technique:
Mystic - Mystic Lotus Art (uninitiated)
Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus (Transcendent)]
[Martial Arts:
Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal (Transcendent), Pure Lotus Flower (Perfection), Rainbow Light Movement (Perfection), Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash (Beginner), Shadow Clinging to the Bone (Beginner)]
[Demon value Points: 10000]
The moment he saw the prefix 'Mystic,' Li Xuanxiao's mouth almost stretched to his ears.
He finally, finally, finally possessed a Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique!
Taking a long breath, Li Xuanxiao calmed his surging emotions. Looking at the remaining 10,000 Demon value Points, he immediately invested them into the 'Mystic Lotus Art'!
[Consuming 3000 Demon value Points, Mystic Lotus Art has taken the first step!]
Just taking the first step required 3000 Demon value Points!?
Before Li Xuanxiao could exclaim how expensive it was, he discovered that his body was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
His entire body's True Qi rapidly condensed into a golden liquid. Every drop of liquid formed caused Li Xuanxiao's Aura to surge sharply. As golden liquid appeared drop by drop, Li Xuanxiao's Aura climbed steadily.
Soon, he broke through that invisible barrier.
An unprecedented experience washed over him; Li Xuanxiao only felt his Soul emitting a joyful moan.
The world before his eyes suddenly became incomparably clear, and all the complex, chaotic thoughts in his mind subsided.
When the Mystic Realm thought arises, one immediately perceives the vastness of Heaven and Earth.
Unlike the aggressive Aura when breaking through to major Realms previously.
Having reached the Mystic Realm, Li Xuanxiao found that the Aura around his body had become exceptionally ordinary.
Just like an ordinary person who had never Cultivated.
This convergence of Aura was more like a transformation of returning to simplicity!
He finally understood the words the Patrol Hall Master had spoken back then.
"A single word difference makes a world of difference!"
"The True Qi from the Extreme Realm and Xuan Realm stages will all transform into the more powerful True Essence at this time. The Martial Artist's own lifespan will also be greatly extended!"
Li Xuanxiao looked at the palm of his hand, feeling that he now possessed infinite power.
He secretly circulated the 'Mystic Lotus Art,' and a drop of golden liquid appeared in his palm, emitting a power that made people's hearts tremble!
"Is this True Essence?"
Li Xuanxiao casually struck toward a small, uninhabited mountain.
From a distance of over a thousand meters, the small mountain actually trembled, cracking with terrifying fissures.
Even from such a distance, it still possessed such power!
Li Xuanxiao was secretly shocked. In the past, even if he fully unleashed the 'Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal,' he could only make parts of the mountain tremble slightly.
It was impossible to achieve this terrifying effect.
After reaching the Mystic Realm, he finally felt this god-like power.
This was almost a completely different level of existence compared to previous Martial Artists.
"From this Realm onward, humans truly begin to separate from mortal flesh and evolve towards a higher level of life!"
When the Patrol Hall Master said this before, Li Xuanxiao had been somewhat unconvinced.
But now it seemed it wasn't an exaggeration at all; his words were truly not empty!
It also explained why the arrival of just one New Demon Emperor would make the Patrol Hall Master treat the situation so seriously.
At this Realm, one person could truly hold back thousands of troops!
It was no longer a gap that could be leveled by sheer numbers.
If his current self were to fight his pre-promotion self, his current self could kill a hundred of his former selves with a casual slap...
Terrifying!
