Chapter 3: The Abyssal Womb of Demons
By the banks of the Yangchuan River, a white fox earnestly spoke about martial arts, while a boy of about fourteen or fifteen listened attentively.
Jiang Xue frowned slightly and shook her head, saying: "No. Even if it is the true Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, it is still the Dragon King under the seat of the Heavenly God. How could it possibly defeat the Heavenly God?"
The white fox was not in a hurry to reveal the other benefits of Jiangnan, and leisurely said: "Young master, I would like to ask you, what is your purpose in cultivating martial arts?"
The white fox took a step forward, gazing directly into the eyes of Jiangnan, its words piercing straight to his heart: "At that time, you could move and change at will, possessing great supernatural powers; with just a thought, you could take a person's head from a thousand miles away! Your martial prowess, even combined with the emperor of the Jianwu Kingdom and all the masters in the court, would not stand a chance against you. You could single-handedly overturn a dynasty, or even become an emperor yourself, establishing a nation and expanding territories!"
The white fox revealed a look of mockery in its eyes and said: "Young master, if you were to become a master of martial arts and successfully cultivate the Divine Wheel, there would only be a few great masters in the entire Jianwu Kingdom who could stand shoulder to shoulder with you. Would you still be content with merely not being a subordinate? You currently possess the Eighteen Forms of the River Moon Breaking Waves Technique; do you still fear that you cannot cultivate the Divine Wheel?"
Jiangnan let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Practicing the righteous path while engaging in the deeds of a demon is indeed the demonic way; conversely, practicing the demonic path while performing the deeds of the righteous is the righteous way. My practice of the demonic path does not necessarily mean I will do evil. I have learned this Demonic Abyss Profound Fetal Scripture!"
Revenge against the gods
Unfortunately, the Demon Abyss Xuantai Sutra is a fragment, containing only the mental techniques and no actual moves. The mental techniques are the key to enhancing one's cultivation, while the moves are a reflection of the mental techniques. The power of the mental techniques is directly manifested in the moves.
This mental technique is indeed far superior to the River Moon Breaking Waves Technique
In Jiangnan, he repeatedly murmured this phrase. Having diligently studied the teachings of sages since childhood, upon hearing such outrageous words, he felt both alarmed and exhilarated. Suddenly, a surge of heroic spirit arose within him, as if he were witnessing a towering demonic deity, looking up to the heavens and addressing the myriad gods that have emerged throughout history, proclaiming, "My law surpasses your laws, my path transcends your paths"
Jiang Xue paused slightly and continued: "Among the heart methods I know, I am unaware of how many can surpass the Jiang Yue Po Lang Jue. Any one of them could serve as a foundational heart method for the sect. For instance, the Da Wei Tian Long Jing is an exceptional skill of the highest order"
"Now, tell me, what benefits do you seek?" said the white fox淡淡.
Only the techniques that are compatible with the mental methods can fully unleash the power of the mental methods; otherwise, with other techniques, only a portion of the mental methods' power can be realized
Jiangnan suddenly recalled that the white fox before her had just mentioned that during its cultivation, it had suffered a great calamity and had been schemed against, which led to its current predicament. What level of cultivation had it achieved before encountering this disaster?
Being able to articulate such words and effortlessly deduce the River Moon Breaking Waves Technique, which is even more exquisite and profound than the original mental method, adding eight additional realms, such a fox demon is certainly not an ordinary fox spirit that merely knows how to absorb the yang energy of scholars
Jiangnan suddenly raised his head, his voice still carrying a hint of youthful innocence: "Sister, I want to learn martial arts from you! I want to avenge the destruction of my family, to take revenge on the celestial beings who ruined my homeland, and make these lofty deities pay the price!"
The words of the white fox opened his eyes to a vast expanse, revealing a world far beyond the confines of the Jianwu Kingdom's Qi royal residence, which he had previously regarded as a mere speck of dust.
Jiangnan hurriedly asked, "Can this mental technique defeat the Celestial God?"
Jiang Xue nodded, her eyes reflecting a hint of admiration: "I did not expect that at such a young age, you would possess such insight. However, the distinction between righteousness and evil is not so simple. If you are to cultivate the Demon Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture, you must proceed with caution and absolutely must not let anyone discover it! If it becomes known that you are practicing the supreme heart method of the demonic path, not only will the masters of the demonic path seek to kill you to seize this scripture, but the masters of the righteous path will also seek to kill you to eliminate the demon and uphold righteousness"
The eyes of Jiangnan instantly brightened; this mental technique sounded imposing and powerful, far surpassing the Jiangyue Breaking Waves Technique by an unknown margin
The ancestors are not to be relied upon, and the way of heaven is not to be feared. My way is the way of heaven, and my law surpasses all laws
Although this white fox is a creature of the supernatural, it exudes an unparalleled elegance, as if it were not a fox at all, but rather a stunning beauty seated there.
True martial arts, once perfected, will lead to divine transformations, transcending the ordinary, capable of turning rivers and seas, plucking stars and seizing the moon, all of which are effortlessly achievable
If there had not been a figure as knowledgeable and experienced as Jiang Xue to explain it to him, it is likely that even if he were given the Demon Abyss Profound Fetus Sutra, he would still be unable to comprehend and master this mental technique in Jiangnan
Although the phrase "The Sutra of the Abyssal Demonic Womb" may sound arrogant, it indeed holds a great deal of truth
The voice of the white fox is not loud, yet it resonates profoundly: "The greater the ability, the greater the ambition. The greater the ambition, the greater the ability! Only boundless ambition can be the driving force for your progress, and the motivation for achieving greater accomplishments!"
Jiang Xue hesitated slightly and said: "Although the 'Muddy Primordial One Qi Degree of the Buddhist Sect' is quite powerful, it cannot be considered a divine-level mental technique, and it lacks significant offensive capability. It may be somewhat difficult to surpass a celestial being, but it is sufficient for self-protection"
In Jiangnan's heart, doubts inevitably arose: "Being pursued by both righteous and demonic paths? Does that not mean my future is utterly bleak... Regardless, if it were not for Sister Jiang Xue, I would have no hope of revenge in this life. Now that there is a glimmer of hope, I must seize it firmly!"
Zichuan, the Jiangyue Breaking Waves Technique is indeed a commendable martial arts mental method, but this set of techniques cannot yet be considered a true ultimate skill
Miss, who exactly are you
Jiangnan was momentarily taken aback, recalling the subservient and humble life he had led since arriving in the Jianwu Kingdom. He felt an indescribable mix of emotions in his heart, and after a moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "I practice martial arts solely to change my current identity and status; I do not wish to continue living as a servant or as an inferior person..."
In the library of Jiangnan, I felt my lips becoming dry, and the white fox that I had inadvertently rescued seemed to grow even more mysterious and unfathomable.
The ancestors are not to be relied upon, and the way of heaven is not to be feared
The roaring in Jiangnan's mind suddenly caused the foundation of his martial arts philosophy to collapse completely
By cultivating this mental technique, your vital energy and yang energy will become extraordinarily vigorous, almost comparable to that of a true dragon
Jiang Xue furrowed her brows and patiently said: "I have a mental technique called 'Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations.' Cultivating this technique could allow one to compete with the Celestial Deities. However, the time required for cultivation is exceedingly long. By the time you reach the realm of the Celestial Deities, it is likely that countless years will have passed..."
Jiang Xue let out a faint cold laugh and said: "Most people in this world believe that the present is inferior to the past, that martial arts are gradually declining, and that the techniques of ancient and prehistoric times are immensely powerful. With such a mindset, one can never surpass the ancients or the gods in this life. However, although this Demonic Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture boasts grand claims, it is not the most supreme mental technique in the world"
The white fox fell into silence, its moon-like eyes dimming as if recalling the past. After a moment, it spoke softly: "I have now lost all my cultivation and spiritual essence, my soul is nearly shattered, akin to being reborn. What connection do the glorious past and the current me have... Young master, since you are using your yang energy to mend my soul, then I shall also take the surname Jiang. From now on, I shall be Jiang Xue, and in front of others, you shall call me sister... Young master, since you are using your yang energy to mend my soul, then I shall also take the surname Jiang. From now on, I shall be Jiang Xue, and in front of others, you shall call me sister..."
Tell me, at that time, was your purpose in cultivation merely to avoid being a subordinate? Did you not wish to seek revenge against the celestial being that destroyed your homeland and caused your family to be shattered?
In the Jiangnan region, his throat felt dry, and the white fox almost drew out all the ambitions from his heart. If he truly possessed such martial power, it would indeed be better to expand his own territory and establish a grand empire rather than serve others.
The battle of the celestial beings has destroyed my hometown; how could Jiangnan ever forget such a deep grudge? It is just that in the past, he was truly humble, like an ant before the celestial beings. Yet now, he has sought out this hatred that he had deliberately concealed
River Snow ... ... Sister ... ...
Martial arts transcend the divine. If one day you achieve mastery and become a Divine King or Divine Emperor, the myriad realms will be at your fingertips, and you will unify all worlds
Jiangnan's expression darkened: "Sister, is there any more powerful mental technique?"
With your current level of cultivation, in another six months you will be able to enter the Qi Refinement stage. Once you reach the Qi Refinement stage, you will be eligible to participate in the martial arts examination, and naturally, you will no longer be a subordinate. Cultivating to the Qi Refinement stage, is this your ultimate goal in your practice?
The righteous path and the demonic path are not distinguished by methods of cultivation, but rather by the nature of the cultivator's heart
Jiangnan shook her head again: "Sister, do you have any better mental techniques?"
If it were in the past, he might have been content with wealth and status or restoring the Jiang family. However, upon hearing Jiang Xue's series of piercing questions, he suddenly realized that the opportunity before him was a genuine chance to change the course of his life!
Who am I
If your achievements surpass the divine wheel, entering the path through martial arts, and you attain divine powers in one fell swoop, would you then become a figure capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Prince of Qi in establishing the Prince's residence?
Jiang Xue pondered for a moment and said: "I have here a scripture on the cultivation of the Primordial Unity and the One Qi, which is the authentic heart method of the Buddhist school. When practiced, it generates vigorous Yang energy. Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one will possess boundless magical power, capable of traversing heaven and earth, plucking stars and seizing the moon, and shifting constellations with ease"
Jiang Xue, with a gentle and persuasive demeanor, smiled and said: "When you reach the realm of divine powers, you will be able to cultivate the divine abilities of the dragon clan. As your cultivation level increases, you will be able to attain the formidable powers akin to the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, possessing vast divine abilities and effortlessly roaming the four corners of the universe"
The Great Majesty of the Heavenly Dragon Sutra
She recounted the "Magic Abyss Mysterious Fetus Sutra," immediately captivating the entire attention of Jiangnan. The "Magic Abyss Mysterious Fetus Sutra" is indeed profound and extensive, with its verses being intricate and mysterious, unfathomable in depth
His original purpose in practicing martial arts was to escape his current situation, to no longer be a servant, and his greatest ideal was to revive the once-fallen Jiang family
In Jiangnan, a heart-stirring moment arises, asking: "Can one conquer the deities?"
"Sister and Librarian, do you not have any quick cultivation methods?" Jiangnan inquired
"Sister, what is the Divine Wheel?" Jiangnan could not help but ask as he heard Jiangxue mention the Divine Wheel repeatedly
When the divine wheel is to be repaired, it is the moment when the demonic seed matures, transforming into the mysterious embryo
Upon hearing this, Jiangnan felt a stir in his heart and smiled, saying: "If I were a master at the Divine Wheel realm, my ambitions would naturally be set higher! If that day truly comes, I shall ascend to the court and serve the nation of Jianwu, expanding its territories and leaving my name in the annals of history"
The opening passage of the "Demon Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture" states: "This is the foundational text of the supreme mental techniques established by our ancestors, which are insufficient to serve as one's own methods, and the Heavenly Dao is not to be feared. The individual who created the Demon Abyss Profound Fetus Scripture was exceedingly arrogant, believing that this life surpasses all past lives, and that the techniques of the present world surpass the ancient and remote divine arts. One's own methods and one's own path can transcend all predecessors, paving the way for a new realm."
I cannot surpass the gods, so I will no longer study
The white fox raised its head to look towards the south of the Yangtze River, speaking in a calm tone, softly saying: "Have you thought it through? What exactly do you want in return?"
This scene is extraordinarily bizarre, yet neither the person nor the fox feels anything amiss; the speaker articulates eloquently, while the listener is thoroughly engrossed.
Jiang Xue pondered carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she smiled and said: "I have a unique mental technique here, called the Demon Prison Profound Fetus Scripture, which I obtained after defeating a Demon Lord of the Divine Prison. The Demon Prison Profound Fetus Scripture uses oneself as the demon prison, with true energy forming the demon seed profound fetus, possessing an exceptionally vigorous yang energy, not inferior to the previous few methods, and may even surpass them! If this mental technique is cultivated to an extremely high level, it can definitely defeat the Celestial Gods. However, I do not have the complete version of this mental technique; I only possess the method for cultivating to the eighth level of divine power, without the corresponding divine powers. Yet, based on the mental technique, it is indeed possible to surpass the Celestial Gods after reaching great success."

Um ... ...
The opening of the "Moyu Xuantai Jing" is the Foundation Establishment Chapter, where the physical body transforms into a prison, and true energy condenses into demonic seeds. Within this prison, true energy is tempered, and demonic seeds are refined. With a vigorous and brave approach, the physical body is honed, ultimately refining the energy into a state of chaos, which then transforms into a solid form, coalescing into a wheel
