I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Chapter 263: With the Blood of Spirit Sect Families, Forge My Martial Arts Foundation (Part 2)
 

Yu Gao sighed, “The Demon Lord, in the end, could not rise once again.”

Xu Yan couldn’t help but interject, “As far as I know, the Demon Lord had risen and fallen three times. The Spirit Sects and noble families were extremely wary of him. What exactly did he do in the Spiritual Realm?”

Within the Demon Lord’s tomb, the murals depicted how he was born into insignificance, suffered bullying, and due to a love that turned into hate, amongst other things, caused calamities in the Spiritual Realm, leading to the pursuit by many powerful beings.

Of course, the content of the murals was somewhat concise, and perhaps some events were not recorded.

“O Demon Lord!” Yu Gao returned the Blood Spirit Blade to Shi’er and said with a sigh, “The Demon Lord was originally the illegitimate son of a noble family. In a Spiritual Realm where social hierarchy is strictly adhered to, and considering his talent was not outstanding, he was naturally subjected to bullying…”

Xu Yan and the others listened curiously. It was the same for Fang Hao; what he knew about the Demon Lord was only rough details told by his father.

What Yu Gao had said about the Demon Lord didn’t differ too much from the murals Xu Yan had seen in the tomb, but Yu Gao’s account was more detailed.

“The top-tier noble families were all Blood Refined by the Demon Lord, which built his invincible strength…”

Yu Gao’s face showed a look of longing. To Blood Refine top-tier noble families – how great a strength that must be, how invincible a figure.

The Demon Lord was undeniably a figure in the history of Spiritual Realm Martial Arts that one could not ignore, the most renowned among the Loose Cultivators.

“Unfortunately, the Demon Lord suffered betrayal by those close to him, nearly died, or one might say that at that time everyone thought he had died. A thousand years later, the Demon Lord rose again, sweeping through his enemies…

“The Demon Lord, on his second rise, was still overwhelmingly fierce. The number of Spirit Sects and noble families that fell to his hands were numerous, he even killed the geniuses of the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

“He rose stepping over the bodies of many geniuses from sects and noble families, slaughtering the peak powers of the Spirit Sects and noble families to achieve an invincible form.

“Sadly, the Demon Lord also faced betrayal the second time, surrounded and attacked by a group of powerful beings, everyone thought he was dead. For a thousand years, the Spirit Sects and noble families had been cautious with no news of the Demon Lord.

“His third rise came three thousand years later. Upon his return, he Blood Refined his enemies, offered a blood sacrifice to the masses. He truly became the Demon.

“The calamity of the Blood Demon originated from this. He no longer trusted anyone; whether it was Spirit Sects, noble families, or Loose Cultivators, in his eyes, all were just blood sustenance, resources for his path to invincibility…”

Speaking of the final calamity of the Blood Demon, even Yu Gao, a late-stage Divine Refinement-level powerhouse, showed a hint of fear.

His voice trembled as he said, “The calamity of the Blood Demon resulted in a twenty percent decrease in the population of Martial Artists in the Spiritual Realm. Yuzhou was the last state on the Blood Demon’s escape route, where one-fifth of the Martial Artists perished!”

Xu Yan and the others couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath. The Demon Lord was truly a fierce being; no wonder the Spirit Sects and noble families were so apprehensive of him, pushing him into the Inner Domain and thoroughly closing the gate to the Spiritual Realm.

Cutting off communications with the Inner Domain was to prevent the Blood Demon from having the opportunity to return.

Li Xuan was also secretly astonished. What a ruthless character the Demon Lord was, he also felt that, with the man having been betrayed twice and his Cultivation Technique already steeped in bloodlust, it was no wonder his psyche became twisted.

“Three falls, three rises, the Demon Lord truly had great fortune. Even the last time, he didn’t completely die and still had the chance to rise again. Sadly, he was blind to target Meng Chong, and thus he truly met his end!”

Li Xuan silently shook his head. If the Demon Lord had not targeted Meng Chong, there really might have been a chance for another rise.

Furthermore, after the lessons of the previous three times, he would surely have become even more cautious and even more difficult to deal with.

“Rumors of the last battle say that the powerful ones of the Transcendent Spirit Sect employed the foundation meant for suppressing their own sect to forcibly reduce the Demon Lord’s strength, severely injuring him.

“The harm from the calamity of the Blood Demon was too severe, the Spirit Sects and noble families imposed a gag order. As a result, very little of the Demon Lord’s deeds have been passed down to this day.

“The secrets and deeper insights are probably known only to those who experienced those days.”

Yu Gao sighed, “The Demon Lord once had great ambitions, great dreams, and spirited. He wanted to fight for a place for all the Loose Cultivators in the world and pull down the lofty Spirit Sects and noble families from their high position.

“Because this was also the founding purpose of the Wanshi Alliance, I understand more about the Demon Lord.

“When the Demon Lord once swept through the Spirit Sects and noble families, there was a saying about him that was circulated among the Loose Cultivators.

“It was this very statement that led the Spirit Sects and noble families to cover up the deeds of the Demon Lord, imposing a gag order, forbidding its spread. Should any Loose Cultivator be found spreading it, they would be executed without mercy, and those who reported such individuals would be handsomely rewarded!

“Because of this statement, countless Loose Cultivators were killed. Nowadays, there are probably very few who know what the Demon Lord said back then.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan and the others became very curious.

What was the statement that made the Spirit Sects and noble families so fearful?

Although Li Xuan appeared indifferent, he too was secretly curious. He guessed that the statement by the Demon Lord might have been an incitement for the Loose Cultivators to resist, and in order to prevent successors from emulating the Demon Lord’s actions, the Spirit Sects and noble families had to put in significant effort to thoroughly suppress that statement.

“Brother Yu, what was the statement that made the Spirit Sects and noble families so fearful?” asked Fang Hao eagerly.

Yu Gao’s expression became solemn, and he said gravely, “With the blood of Spirit Sects and noble families, I will forge my Martial Arts foundation.”

Li Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder Spirit Sects and noble families wanted to suppress this statement.

The Demon Lord was a character to be reckoned with!

“With the blood of Spirit Sects and noble families, I will forge my Martial Arts foundation? The Demon Lord indeed was a fierce man, no wonder the Spirit Sects and noble families were so apprehensive of him,” Xu Yan said with a faint smile.

For this statement, Xu Yan and Meng Chong didn’t have a strong impression, they just felt that the Demon Lord was a fierce person, a true character.

However, for Fang Hao who came from the Spiritual Realm and deeply understood the oppression of the Spirit Sect and noble families on the bottom tier of Loose Cultivators, at this moment, he was filled with fiery blood and felt the Demon Lord’s domineering presence to be unparalleled!

His eyes shone brightly as he said, “Since I am the Alliance Hierarch of the Wanshi Alliance in Yuzhou, one day I will tell the Spirit Sect and the noble families that Yuzhou does not belong to the Spirit Sect and noble families, but to all the people of Yuzhou!”

At this moment, Fang Hao had, in addition to his pursuit of the Qimen Martial Art and the will to carve out his own path in the Qimen Martial Arts toward its peak,

another ambition was born within him, to lead the Wanshi Alliance of Yuzhou, to sit as equals with the Spirit Sect and noble families and fight for a place in the sky for the bottom tier Loose Cultivators of Yuzhou.

“Good! Yu Gao will certainly support the great endeavors of the Alliance Hierarch with all his might!”

Yu Gao said excitedly.

“Brother Yu, your wounds have almost healed, it’s time for you to stabilize the Wanshi Alliance, so that our brothers won’t suffer at the hands of the Spirit Sect and noble families.”

Fang Hao said seriously.

“Yes, Alliance Hierarch!”

Yu Gao nodded.

Then, showing a flattering expression, he said, “Alliance Hierarch, during the siege by the Spirit Sect and the noble families, there must be brothers who were injured, some even severely, what do you think?”

Su Lingxiu, standing beside, snorted and casually tossed a bottle of pills, saying, “Here you go.”

“Thank you, Miss Su!”

Yu Gao was overjoyed.

“If you want to thank someone, thank my junior brother.”

Su Lingxiu gestured dismissively.

“Many thanks, Alliance Hierarch!”

Yu Gao bowed.

“Go now.”

Fang Hao tossed a Communication Talisman to Yu Gao, waving his hand, “I’ll keep in touch with you via the talisman, just wait for the news.”

“Yes!”

Yu Gao excitedly caught the talisman and immediately left; the Wanshi Alliance was waiting for him to steady the hearts of its people.

“Junior brother, being an Alliance Hierarch carries a big responsibility,” Su Lingxiu said with a smile.

“Everything I have learned must eventually have a battlefield, and I am willing to give it a try!” Fang Hao said with solemnity on his plump face.

“Big sister supports you!”

Su Lingxiu said with a smile.

“Junior brother, finding your own ambition is a good thing, if you need anything, just look for your senior brother,” Xu Yan patted Fang Hao’s shoulder.

“And me!”

Meng Chong also nodded.

His own junior brother, of course, he had to support.

“Many thanks, Senior Brother and Senior Sister!”

Fang Hao said excitedly.

Li Xuan inwardly sighed; among his four disciples, Xu Yan and Meng Chong enjoyed freedom and had no intention of creating their own forces, their ambition was merely to pursue the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

As for Su Lingxiu, though she had established the Evergreen Pavilion, she was a hands-off shopkeeper who disliked the management, did not enjoy competing, and was relatively homebound. She only had a strong interest in Alchemical Medical Martial Arts.

Therefore, she also had her ambition: pursuing the pinnacle of Alchemical Medical Martial Arts.

Only the fourth disciple, Fang Hao, had a will to dominate, a determination to create a grand cause, and the ambition to change the landscape of the Spiritual Realm.

Having ambition gives one motivation, and joining the Wanshi Alliance, he not only had to contend with the powerful of the alliance and reach the apex of the Wanshi Alliance but also had to compete with the Spirit Sect and noble families, placing him in an even more perilous situation.

Of course, with great danger comes greater opportunity to make use of one’s learning, and the momentum to rise will also be remarkably swift.
