I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 352

Chapter 352: Chapter 204 Blood Demon’s Life, The Three Realms of Heaven and Man_2
 

Xu Yan became increasingly convinced that the pool was built upon a Spirit Crystal Mine vein.

Considering this place was the Celestial Tomb, it wasn’t surprising that there was a Spirit Crystal Mine here.

At a certain moment, his aura surged, and he achieved a Minor Achievement in the Tongxuan Realm.

“I’ve achieved a Minor Achievement in the Tongxuan Realm. There’s still some distance from a Great Achievement, but even without the aid of the pool’s cultivation, breaking through to a Great Achievement won’t be far off.”

Xu Yan emerged from the pool, and Du Yuying’s physical defects had been completely remedied, her aura also growing stronger.

A Great Achievement martial arts master!

Shifting his gaze, he surveyed the tomb chamber. Once the spiritual fog dissipated, it didn’t obstruct his vision, and Xu Yan noticed a hollowed-out section on the stone wall behind the pool.

A coffin was placed inside the niche.

He couldn’t help but be curious. Why carve out a niche for the coffin instead of simply placing it within the tomb chamber?

“Young Master Xu!”

Du Yuying regained consciousness.

Excitement filled her eyes. Her physical issues were resolved, her strength had substantially increased, and more importantly, she felt that her innate talents had also improved considerably.

Stepping out of the pool, she performed her cultivation technique to evaporate the water on her body and put her clothes back on.

“Who was the owner of this tomb, to you?”

As Xu Yan walked towards the coffin, he asked.

He was very curious about martial arts masters.

“It could be an ancestor, but I’m not sure. I only know that this is a place left by an ancestor that can remedy physical defects. I’m not clear on the specifics.

“It seems there’s some secret that hasn’t been passed down to the younger generations.”

Du Yuying replied softly.

“There should be another object here, something very important, but I don’t really know its specific use.”

After thinking for a moment, Du Yuying added.

“What object?”

Xu Yan was brimming with curiosity.

“Yu Ling, a jade token!”

As they spoke, the two approached the niche.

The coffin was pitch black; it was unclear what material it was forged from. And on its surface, it looked as if rows of small characters were written in fresh blood.

“Bury the Blood Demon here! Be it gratitude or resentment, let it end here; born lowly, buried in the wilderness!”

Before the small characters, on top of the coffin lid, lay a jade token.

“Blood Demon?”

Xu Yan took the jade token and handed it to Du Yuying, puzzled, “Your ancestor was a Blood Demon?”

Du Yuying put away the jade token, shook her head, and said, “No, this should be where my ancestor buried a Blood Demon.”

She paused and then said, “To be precise, it should be my ancestress who buried the Blood Demon.”

Xu Yan looked at the niche and suddenly noticed that the wall of the hollow was illustrated with some patterns, which, upon closer inspection, seemed to depict the life of a person.

Clearly, it depicted the Blood Demon!

This was the Celestial Tomb; evidently, the Blood Demon was no doubt a martial arts master.

Xu Yan became curious about the life story of this martial arts master and carefully examined the images on the wall.

The first image showed a woman in a small mountain village giving birth to a baby…

As he looked at image after image, Xu Yan couldn’t help but feel a profound sense of lament for the Blood Demon’s life: an illegitimate child of a great family, unrecognized, subjected to all sorts of humiliation.

He joined Sects to practice cultivation, where again, he faced humiliation.

Later, he was saved by a woman, for whom he developed an affection. However, that woman was in love with someone else… A tangle of favors and grudges unfolded; the woman’s beloved was killed by him.

The woman, overwhelmed with grief and intent on revenge, plunged a sword into her own chest, only to seem to soften her heart at the last moment and leave the sword behind.

The grievously injured Blood Demon, pursued and hunted, disappeared without a trace.

Xu Yan saw an image of the woman kneeling on the ground, being insulted by a group of people—seemingly the family of her beloved, berating her for letting the Blood Demon escape and insinuating an unclear relationship with him.

A young woman stood up to defend her.

In one image, a crowd compelled the young woman, and at that moment, the first woman came forward, choosing to end her life and all the entanglements with suicide, just as the Blood Demon reappeared.

Surrounded and attacked, the Blood Demon held the woman’s corpse and fled, and the young woman seemed to curse the Blood Demon while protecting his escape.

In one image, the young woman, mistaken for the first by the delirious Blood Demon, was pinned down to the ground…

“`

The final few paintings, city after city, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a person stands with a sword.

Sects obliterated, a group of bloodthirsty people killing everywhere, devouring essence blood, strengthening themselves.

In the second to last painting, a group of powerhouses take action, slaying the bloodthirsty people, besieging the Blood Demon, a portal opens, and the Blood Demon escapes.

The last painting, within a vast mountain, the girl of yesteryears, with a single strike, pierces through the Blood Demon’s skull…

“This is?”

Xu Yan was immediately filled with shock and doubt, the mountain in the last painting seemed to be the Endless Mountains!

“Blood Demon? Could it be the Demon Sect’s Demon Lord?”

The Demon Sect’s Demon Lord suddenly vanished, it turns out he was killed, and the Blood Demon was the Demon Lord, he wasn’t from the Inner Domain!

“It’s said that our ancestral mother, grievously injured, was saved by our ancestor, and only then did they end up together…”

Du Yuying spoke in a low voice.

“Your ancestral mother, a mighty Martial Arts Celestial, and your ancestor he…”

Xu Yan stopped himself before revealing more.

“Perhaps, it was to repay a kindness.”

Du Yuying thought for a moment, then added: “The ancestral mother I speak of is not from Prince Du’s residence, my bloodline derives more from my mother’s side, my mother was the same, generation after generation only daughters were born, and it might be due to the strength of the Celestial bloodline.”

Xu Yan nodded, having seen the life of the Blood Demon, he couldn’t help sighing, as written on the coffin, born lowly, buried in this wilderness, this was its final resting place.

Coming out of the niche, Xu Yan found the ceiling of the tomb chamber painted with some pictures and lines of text.

“What’s this?”

Painted on the ceiling of the tomb were mountains, pavilions, towers, lakes and waterside pavilions, an enchanting scenery.

A woman stands in the pavilion, as if reminiscing something.

Beside the mountain, three characters were inscribed: Taimiao Sect!

Du Yuying took out a jade token, indeed seeing the characters Taimiao etched onto it.

“Taimiao Yu Ling?”

He muttered to himself.

“The realm of Spiritual Realm, the three levels of Celestials?”

Xu Yan showed a look of pleasant surprise.

Next to the murals, lines of text introduced the concept of Martial Arts Celestials.

“Celestials are divided into three Realms, each Realm its own heaven; first Realm gathers divine essence, second Realm fuses divine essence, third Realm refines the divine… The first Realm, commonly known as Minor Celestial; second Realm, commonly known as Great Celestial; third Realm, known as Divine Refinement Celestial…

“The gatherer of divine essence feels their own divinity, gathers and condenses it; the fuser of divine essence merges divine essence with the soul, unifying them as one; the refiner of divine essence refines both soul and divinity…

“The Divine Soul is undying, residing within a body…”

The lines on the stone wall did not pass down any Cultivation Techniques, but instead introduced the concept of Martial Arts Celestials.

Martial Arts Celestials are divided into three Realms, commonly known as Minor Celestial, Great Celestial, and Divine Refinement Celestial, among which the Divine Refinement Celestial, by condensing the Divine Soul, as long as the Divine Soul is undying, can reside within a body.

Reaching this point, Xu Yan’s thoughts stirred, and he recalled the events that Meng Chong had experienced, the Senior Wu!

Master said, it was a seizing of the body!

So could that be the Divine Refinement Celestial’s survival by residing within a body?

“Blood Demon! Also known as the Demon Lord!”

Xu Yan’s heart shook for a moment, back then the Blood Demon hadn’t died completely, but had escaped with a fragment of his Divine Soul, and for some unknown reason, finally chose to reside within Senior Wu’s body.

Moreover, his Divine Soul was extremely weak, and when Meng Chong drew his sword and the Sword Soul awakened, grasping Sword Intent, he managed to completely vanquish the remaining Remnant Soul!

The last painting in the niche, the Blood Demon was killed in the Endless Mountains, and it was after Senior Wu entered the Endless Mountains, that the upheaval in Wu Country occurred.

Xu Yan felt that his conjecture was likely the truth.

He continued to read about the three levels of Celestials; although it did not pass on any Cultivation Techniques and only introduced the three levels of Celestials, it still held its value.

“The first level of Celestial, is to sense one’s own divinity, gather and condense it… Divine Intent Realm, in theory, is at the same level as the first Realm of Celestial, yet Divine Intent Realm is about condensing Martial Arts divine intent, turning the Will of the Earth into divine intent…”

Xu Yan murmured to himself.

The first level of Celestial requires one to sense their own divinity, to gather and condense it, the strength of one’s own divinity determines the strength at the first level of Celestial; Divine Intent Realm is about condensing Martial Arts divine intent, drawing upon the Domain’s intent; My intent is Domain’s intent, my form is Domain’s form…

Divine Intent Realm is stronger than the first level of Celestial, and significantly so.

“The divine might of the first level of Celestial, my Sword Intent can withstand it, as their own divinity is ultimately limited; while Martial Arts divine intent, condensing the intent of the Domain, wherever the divine intent reaches, that becomes the Domain’s intent, this is not something the first level of Celestial can compare with.”

Xu Yan had some enlightenment within his heart, the three levels of Cultivation for Celestials, the truly powerful ones were the Divine Refinement Celestials of the third Realm.

The first and second Realms were merely the foundational Cultivation stages of the Celestial Realm, only Divine Refinement Celestials could be deemed true Celestials!
