Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Chapter 503: Chapter 358 Yang Qiangzheng and Yang Qiangjing

[Congratulations on personally redeeming the ‘Innate Demon Seed’. Family merit +500, this merit can be allocated.]

“So I can also gain [Merit] by taking action” mused Yang Genshuo. “Daoist Lei Zhen does have a point—redeeming one to gain 500 merits is equivalent to saving a large city’s population.”

But on second thought… if Daoist Lei Zhen had completely succumbed to the demon path, the disaster he would’ve caused wouldn’t be just as simple as destroying a city of the Human Clan.

With the strength he displayed just now, he was definitely much stronger than Feng Lian, who was also at the Golden Core Fifth Layer.

And he was immune to being struck by lightning!

Who can one even reason with about that?

The Yang Family’s strongest safeguard, the Fourth Grade [Heavenly Mechanism Divine Thunder Talisman], was ineffective against him.

“Whom should I allocate it to?”

Yang Genshuo pondered briefly before deciding to allocate it to Yang Fuqing’s child.

“Here you go, little one. If the merit protects you, perhaps you won’t be so unlucky…”

Yang Fuqing’s child emitted a faint gold light, his entire body radiating the aura of merit, appearing immensely sacred.

The moment Lei Zhen had his epiphany, the heavenly tribulation dissipated.

“Thank you, noble one, for bestowing the great mana to help me dispel the inner demons…”

He looked around, wanting to offer his thanks, but he did not know whom to bow to.

Seeing that Lei Zhen no longer possessed the malevolent energy from before, Yang Fuqing pointed toward the back yard.

“It was my family’s ancestor.”

“Lei Zhen thanks the ancestors of the Yang Family.”

Lei Zhen bowed solemnly, his mood significantly lighter.

The perennial thunderclouds that lingered overhead had also dispersed, as if deeming it unnecessary to suppress him any further.

Lei Zhen had a floating red Blood Qi about him, but his eyes were clear.

At that moment, Yang Genshuo Manifested and wrote down a line of text.

Yang Fuqing, holding her child, said, “My family’s ancestor told me to pass a message to you.”

“One whose body is of the Demon Path should practice the Demon Techniques only for good deeds.”

Lei Zhen nodded, “I have learned my lesson.”

Since childhood, due to his constitution, everyone who got close to him met untimely deaths, covered in misfortune; eventually, he was taken in by two members of the Xuan Stone Sect who taught him Daoist Skills and knowledge. Afraid that he might misstep into the Demon Path and ruin the Sect, he sealed himself on Thunder Mountain.

He endured strikes from heavenly tribulations year after year, firmly refusing to come down the mountain.

He believed he should never have been born, as he only brought disasters to the world.

He was supposed to die of old age on Thunder Peak, but his senior sect brother on his deathbed entrusted him with Mo Zhu from the Blood Soul Valley.

And that body full of Demon Techniques for him… was like a famished refugee seeing a massive steamed bun, extremely enticing.

Even just by feeling the aura of the Demon Techniques from Mo Zhu, he could deduce the Blood Soul Great Method himself.

While cultivating the Righteous Sect techniques, he inadvertently started practicing the Blood Soul Great Method and accidentally absorbed all the Demon Qi from Mo Zhu…

The heavenly tribulation that struck him was like tickling, and he advanced directly to the Golden Core Stage.

Afterward, this Demon Technique, like a shadow following him, kept circulating wildly within him even without deliberate control, constantly elevating his realm… He had already reached the Golden Core Fifth Layer.

He grew fearful that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and might eventually cause a great disaster.

Preparing for self-sacrifice, he sensed the aura of his kind… and sealed the heavenly tribulation to rush over.

Thus, the scene unfolded earlier.

“Today, I realize I am truly myself…”

With the help of intense blessings, he completely controlled the Demon Techniques and rediscovered his true self.

At this moment, he gazed at the young child with expectancy in his eyes.

“A naturally born killer could potentially become the strongest guardian deity of the Human Clan.”

Exactly!

Yang Genshuo thought, so Daoist Lei Zhen finally made a sensible comment.

He had just closely reviewed the [Corpse Retriever (Immortal Level)] talent and his character card.

He found some interesting things.

“Although Yang Fuqing and her husband Chu Yinghui don’t have high talents, they are not that low either…”

“But their son has the worst Five Spirit Roots, not only is his Qi Fortune disastrously low at -50, but his Comprehension is also 0, and most terrifyingly… his Life Span is only 60 years, while a Cultivator with a Spirit Root should have 120 years.

“He has the worst fundamental talent in the Yang Family.”

“And he has only one [Immortal Level] talent. The talent is powerful, but can it compensate for such poor innate abilities? What Cultivation Technique can he learn?”

Yang Genshuo felt that this child needed special attention in the future; he instinctively felt that this [Corpse Retriever (Immortal Level)] talent was not simple.

It must be much stronger than his [Absorption].

“If a war with the Demon Clan breaks out in the future, this talent… could have a huge scope for deployment.”

During wars, what is most abundant?

At this moment, everyone felt a strange fluctuation coming… The ground trembled.

“Another Great Power?”

Yang Fujian was shocked by a powerful force… it felt vast and unconquerable, as if it was the force of the Heavenly Dao itself!

Suddenly, everyone was on high alert.

Only Daoist Lei Zhen was somewhat embarrassed.

“It seems like… there’s an earthquake.”

Everyone: “…”

Rumble~

After the ground trembled for a moment, the entire city shook, and some poorly constructed civilian houses collapsed. Fortunately, the city walls were protected by an Array, so there were no issues.

Daoist Lei Zhen seized the opportunity to distance himself from everyone.

“You better not come too close to me…”

Everyone then remembered, [Heavenly Slaughter Star], anyone closely related would be afflicted with misfortune.

The lack of heavenly tribulation meant his inner demons were gone, but this ill fortune…

Lei Zhen waved his hand: “I’m heading back to Thunder Mountain for now. This child… is fated with me, a natural born killer, unaffected by my Qi Fortune. After he comes of age, he may learn cultivation from me; my years of experience could be useful to him.”

“If you have any matters, you can write a letter and throw it into Thunder Mountain, I will see it…”

Daoist Lei Zhen rushed off, his departure swift without much time for old-time sake.

The ill fortune brought about by a Great Cultivation at Golden Core Fifth Layer is terrifying.
