Chapter 10 - The Secret of Demon Cultivation

An ancient saying goes: The human body is a vast Treasure Trove; as long as the key to unlock it is found, incredible **Power of Desire** can be obtained. Heaven and Earth are the macro-Universe, and the human body is the micro-Universe.

This saying undoubtedly illustrates that the human body is indeed the Physique most suitable for Cultivation between Heaven and Earth. Not only does it contain the Five Elements, but the Meridians and acupoints in the human body are also extremely profound, capable of aligning with the sun, moon, and stars in the cosmos. It possesses a unique talent for sensing and absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The most miraculous are the three vital cavities in the human body: the three great Dantians—upper, middle, and lower. The existence of Dantian means that essence, Qi, and spirit can be stored. Therefore, among Cultivators, there is the Dantian Purple Mansion. This Dantian Purple Mansion is used to store true essence and serves as the dwelling place for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul. With this, one has a Foundation. Only with the Purple Mansion can one be considered to have built an immortal Foundation.

To think that humans are born with a Dantian, how incredibly fortunate! It is absolutely true to say that they have received the favor of the heavens.

Purple Mansion, Purple Mansion!!

The word 'Mansion' itself represents a dwelling place. The Golden Core is a fetus, and the Nascent Soul is an infant. If there is no place to live, they naturally cannot exist. One can imagine that the importance of the Purple Mansion is by no means trivial.

In animal bodies, the complexity of Meridians is far less than in humans. For example, a snake has a single Meridian running straight through. However, animals still have a Dantian. For instance, the seven-inch mark of a snake is its Dantian vital point. Once the seven-inch mark is grasped, no matter how ferocious the snake, it will instantly go limp.

Of course, some do not have a Dantian, such as plants. Trees have vascular systems, but as for a Dantian, who can find a Dantian in a tree?

Regardless of whether they are animals or plants, they can all Cultivate into Yao Beasts. Why is this?

In ancient times, after countless powerhouses of the Yao Race gathered to research together, they finally devised a set of Yao Beast Cultivation Techniques suitable for all species under heaven.

Regardless of whether one has a Dantian or where their Dantian is located, Yao Beast Cultivators disregard these entirely and directly open up a Demon Palace within their bodies.

After absorbing the information in his mind, Di Shitian couldn't help but admire. The Yao Beast Cultivators of the past were absolutely geniuses, and the profundity of Yao Beast Cultivation was definitely not inferior to immortal Cultivation. Simply from the fact that the Yao Race ancestors could conceive of a method to directly open a Demon Palace within the body, he couldn't help but be deeply impressed.

Opening a Demon Palace means having a Demon Foundation!

After temporarily sorting out some of the vast information in his mind, Di Shitian looked down at the boulder beneath him, his gaze very complex. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never have believed that such an ordinary-looking large stone could also be a magical Treasure.

If he remembered correctly, this boulder had helped him several times. First, it allowed him to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, forming Demon Power within his body. Then, when he took the Spirit Gathering Pill, a mysterious **Power of Desire** emerged to help protect his Meridians and body from damage. No matter how dull he was, he could guess that this boulder was a hidden wonder.

Perhaps, there was some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi hidden within the boulder.

Otherwise, it couldn't possess such magical properties.

Di Shitian's gaze was very complex. Although he knew that what was before him was an exotic Treasure, he had no ability to obtain it. He did not believe that with his current ability, he could break this hard boulder that had existed for who knows how many years.

"Forget it. What's mine will surely not escape. Now that I have successfully activated the Bloodline Legacy and learned the Cultivation Technique of the Yao Race, the immediate priority is to start Cultivating as soon as possible, Cultivate the Tiger's Roar Skill to the third stage, then open up a Demon Palace, and become a true Yao Beast. Only then will I have the initial ability to protect myself."

He muttered to himself, looked at the sky. The moon had begun to gradually disappear, and a faint light was slowly blooming in the east, gradually breaking free from the shackles of darkness.

"Roar!!"

Without further lingering, he turned and jumped off the boulder, walking down the mountain.

He had gained enough benefits this night. With the Tiger's Roar Skill, he had a direction for Cultivation. Compared to his peers who, despite having spirituality, could only silently absorb the **Power of Desire** of Heaven and Earth and accumulate it over hundreds or thousands of years, he was already fortunate enough.

As long as he Cultivated the Cultivation Technique to the third stage, he would also be able to Cultivate the only offensive method in the Cultivation Technique—Tiger's Roar!!

Throughout history, the roar of the Tiger Clan has possessed an extremely domineering deterrent **Power of Desire** over all Beasts, causing those who hear it to shiver involuntarily, an invisible deterrent.

And after Cultivation, the Tiger's Roar can be transformed into a sound wave skill, truly possessing powerful Killing Intent. According to the records in the magic formula, Di Shitian was quite looking forward to this Cultivation Technique.

As he walked towards the cave, his mind was constantly pondering: "In the Tiger's Roar Skill, the first three stages are the process of accumulating Demon Power. It only requires continuously absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, or it can be enhanced by refining blood food. Moreover, I still have Spirit Gathering Pills. Today, I only took one, and it made the Demon Power in my body reach the level of the second stage. As long as I go back and Cultivate the Tiger's Roar Skill a few times, I can easily advance to the second stage."

He had personally experienced the powerful medicinal **Power of Desire** of the Spirit Gathering Pill. There were still dozens of them in the jade bottle. With just a few, Di Shitian was confident that he could successfully Breakthrough to the third stage, and then open up a Demon Palace. Advancing from an ordinary wild beast to a Yao Beast would then be smooth sailing.

On his way back to the cave, he bit and killed an adult wild boar in the forest. After drinking the hot blood from the wild boar on the spot, he dragged the wild boar back to the cave.

Now, Di Shitian's transformation had made him exceptionally tall, already surpassing the size of an adult tiger. His tail was 3 meters long, and he stood over a meter tall, radiating an imposing aura. A single glance could captivate one's soul. Under the stimulation of Demon Power, he could clearly feel his body growing stronger every day.

Indeed, his fur became smoother, and his muscles were incredibly solid. He vaguely felt that the strength of his body should be at least twice that of an adult tiger. Ordinary attacks could not harm him. Take the wild boar just now; when it hit him from the side, he only felt a slight pain. Besides that, his body didn't even budge. With a swipe of his claw, he tore off a large piece of flesh from the wild boar's thick fur.

At that moment, he knew that his current self was absolutely capable of living up to the title of King of Beasts on his head. In the mountain forest, animals that could pose a threat to him were already quite rare.

Returning to the cave, after eating and drinking his fill, he lay in the cave. First, he silently recalled the Cultivation Technique, then began his first Cultivation of the Tiger's Roar Skill. As the Tiger's Roar Skill circulated, the Demon Power that was previously not very flexible to control within his body began to circulate rapidly under the guidance of the magic formula. With each cycle, Di Shitian could clearly feel that the **Power of Desire** in his body was continuously transforming into the unique Demon Power of the Tiger's Roar Skill. Commanding it was as easy as moving his arm.

That powerful feeling of controlling Demon Power made him incredibly excited for his future Cultivation.

The Tiger's Roar Skill is a Cultivation Technique tailor-made for the Tiger Clan's body. The circulation of Demon Power follows the unique Meridians within a tiger's body. For example, the first stage involves opening up the Meridians from head to tail, allowing the Demon Power within the body to circulate unimpeded through this Meridian. This is akin to the human body's micro-cosmic orbit. In this way, one can begin to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from outside the body using this Meridian.

The second stage involves opening up the Meridians in the two front paws, allowing Demon Power to circulate through them, increasing the Meridians that can absorb Spiritual Qi. As the Meridians increase, naturally, with each cycle, the Spiritual Qi that can be absorbed, and even the Demon Power that is self-generated within the body, will see significant progress and enhancement. The speed of absorbing the **Power of Desire** of Heaven and Earth will also greatly accelerate.

Finally, the third stage is to open up the two hind legs, connecting all the Meridians throughout the body. The speed of absorbing the **Power of Desire** of Heaven and Earth will increase again. At this time, one can begin to prepare to open up a Demon Palace and charge towards the fourth stage... Every day, Di Shitian would first hunt during the day, then return to the cave to silently seize every moment to transform the Demon Power in his body. At night, he would run to the large boulder to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. Although he now had the help of the Cultivation Technique and no longer needed to rely on the large boulder to independently absorb the essence of the sun and moon, he discovered something else: Cultivating on the large boulder increased the speed of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon by multiples compared to other places. It was extremely suitable for Cultivation.

Time slowly moved forward in this regular life.

However, because the commotion caused by Di Shitian when he activated his Bloodline Legacy last time was too great, many people who had received the news had now arrived at the foot of the Tiger Hill Mountain Range from various parts of Chu State. The small mountain villages, which were usually deserted, became lively, and many arrivals settled in the villages.

There were hundreds of people who came, and without exception, all of them carried various weapons, gleaming with cold light, their Killing Intent either faint or strong.

In this world, Cultivators are, of course, the beings standing at the very top. They are generally unknown, only heard of in legends, and only a few have actually seen them.

"Creak!!"

In a small mountain village called Yun Family Village, a crisp sound of a door opening came from a wooden house that was considered quite tall and luxurious in the village. This was followed by a series of footsteps.

"Big Brother Qin, it was so difficult for me to persuade Imperial Father to let me leave the palace this time. Why do we have to stop here even though we've reached the Tiger Hill Mountain Range?" Along with the footsteps, a clear and pleasant young girl's voice was the first to be heard.

"That's right. There was an unusual light emanating from the Tiger Hill Mountain Range, and people within a hundred-mile radius have witnessed it firsthand. According to usual custom, such an anomaly often signifies the imminent unearthing of some exotic Treasure. The Third Princess possesses a rare Spiritual Root potential, and after her birthday this year, she will be taken in by the Lianyun Sect. If an exotic Treasure is found, it might be of great benefit to the Princess's immortal Cultivation." At this moment, another pleasant female voice was heard, and her tone contained a hint of envy.
