How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 129: Chapter 0129: Savoring Fine Wine

The You Water Lotus Seed, once ingested, brought forth a cool, strange power that radiated throughout the body and seeped into every bit of flesh and meridians.

It was as if a serene, icy spring was melting within him, refreshing and penetrating deep into the heart.

What was so marvelous was,

that the force of this ice spring-like You Water power, upon entering the meridians, merged instantly with the Cloud Evil Inner Qi in his body, showing an incredible affinity.

This was a stark contrast to the opportunity he found in the blood pool before.

At that time, the Blood Evil Power he absorbed was extremely violent and filled with malicious energy, with quite a few impurities, requiring the suppression and assistance of the mysterious heart to stabilize and absorb.

Afterward, although Chen Yu’s cultivation had greatly increased, his Inner Qi contained impure malicious energy, and his realm was unstable.

Yet, this You Water power was exceedingly pure. Yin in nature yet not cold or malicious, it was like premium nourishment for all types of Inner Qi except that of the Yang Flame attribute.

Chen Yu vaguely felt,

that this power was bringing a sort of yin and yang equilibrium to the body’s organs and even his Inner Qi.

Huu!

The Cloud Evil Inner Qi inside him became active and agitated, greedily and eagerly absorbing, as if enthusiastically doing so of its own volition.

During this process,

the amount of Cloud Evil Inner Qi increased, but not by much.

However, Chen Yu felt that the very “quality” of his Inner Qi seemed to have undergone a sort of refinement and balance, with the temperature and purity soaring straight up.

Most noticeable was,

that Chen Yu felt all the Inner Qi in his body joyous like a fish in water, greatly increasing its synergy with his spirit, effortlessly completing complex mental method pathways with but a thought.

Gradually,

that wondrous You Water power, under the lead of the Cloud Evil Inner Qi, entered the Qi Sea within the body and then started roaming through the internal network of meridians.

Half a day later,

Chen Yu took out a piece of Black Lotus Petal and ingested it directly.

In an instant,

a refreshingly sweet and cool power, like spring water that nourishes all things, melded into his flesh and meridians.

Hmm!

His Cloud Evil Inner Qi gave a jolt, and as it flowed through his meridians, it became even smoother.

“These Black Lotus Petals, indeed, can nourish and promote the flow in meridians, assisting the breakthrough of various small bottlenecks under the Qi Transformation Realm.”

Chen Yu’s face erupted with joy.

If,

his cultivation was at the extreme limit of the Early Stage of Organ Refining, perhaps with the aid of a Black Lotus Petal, he could make a breakthrough to the Mid-stage of Organ Refining.

The cultivation of the Organ Refining Stage is essentially the expansion of the internal meridian network.

This network typically consists of the twelve primary meridians, connecting to the viscera and organs, and, depending on the grade of the cultivation technique, may also include branches of extraordinary meridians and points.

And Black Lotus Petals could nourish, make meridians flow more easily, and repair hidden illnesses.

In essence,

some of the meridian points, usually difficult to impact, would become nourished and activated, temporarily increasing their liveliness.

Invisibly, this would increase the chances of a successful breakthrough.

Of course, the premise is that the strength and quality of the Inner Qi and other factors meet the limit of that realm.

…

At a certain moment,

Chen Yu suddenly felt a marked fluctuation of Inner Qi nearby, accompanied by a slight icy and rainy aura.

“Huh?”

Chen Yu turned his gaze and noticed this fluctuation of aura was coming from Mu Xueqing.

“It’s a success!”

Mu Xueqing had a look of joy on her face as her Inner Qi opened up new areas within her internal network of meridians, exceptionally smooth and stable.

This quick?

Both Chen Yu and Nangong Li were somewhat surprised.

“In fact, just by taking the lotus petal, I could have succeeded in the breakthrough. However, that lotus seed also significantly increased my mental method power. After advancing to the Mid-stage Meridian Passage, my Inner Qi is even stronger than those of a typical same rank.”

Mu Xueqing spoke with joy.

Her Spiritual Body’s quality leans towards the cold water attribute, and so does her Cultivation Technique.

Therefore,

Mu Xueqing’s consumption of the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus had effects more than double the strength compared to the average person.

As a result,

right after her advancement to the Mid-stage Meridian Passage, her Inner Qi was very profound and stable.

After Mu Xueqing’s advancement,

less than two hours later, a strong fluctuation of Inner Qi surged from within the crevice of the mountain.

“Finally made it! The effect of this Mysterious Water Moth Lotus is indeed excellent. My Cultivation Technique isn’t of Yin cold attribute, but it still benefits my Inner Qi, making the breakthrough of bottlenecks very smooth.”

Nangong Li laughed heartily.

In terms of Spiritual Body quality, he was even more gifted than Mu Xueqing, a genius among geniuses.

“These two have both advanced.”

Chen Yu was slightly disheartened.

After consuming a portion of the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus, his cultivation smoothly reached the limit of the Early Stage of Organ Refining.

In terms of Spiritual Body quality, Chen Yu was far inferior to Nangong Li.

He was merely more attuned to the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus with his Cultivation Technique, but not as much as Mu Xueqing.

Apart from the reason of the quality,

Both Nangong Li and Mu Xueqing advanced to Organ Refining much earlier and had already reached the limits of that realm. Using the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus to advance was as natural as water flowing in a channel.

“My cultivation has reached the extreme limit of the Early Stage, and with another portion, advancing to the Mid-stage won’t be difficult.”

Chen Yu had this feeling.

He hadn’t advanced yet, but the You Water Lotus Seed made his Cloud Evil Inner Qi incredibly pure and strong, comparable to someone in the Late Stage of Organ Refining.

“However, advancing too quickly and relying entirely on external things might be a bit too hasty.”

Chen Yu hesitated slightly.

His foundation was incredibly solid, with Inner Qi pure enough to match the Late Stage of Organ Refining; even without foreign aids, he could advance to the Mid-stage in at most a month.

Logically,

advancing next with the aid of the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus shouldn’t cause instability in his realm. Moreover, the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus wasn’t an ordinary natural treasure; it didn’t simply crudely increase cultivation level.

While Chen Yu was weighing the pros and cons,

suddenly,

the Iron Moon Strange Insect, connected to his mind, sent a signal of alert.

“Hm?”

Chen Yu frowned as he shared some vague images through the mysterious connection with the Iron Moon Strange Insect.

“What’s wrong?”

Nangong Li and Mu Xueqing couldn’t help but look towards Chen Yu.

“People from Bone Demon Palace actually tracked us down here, and they seem to be heading exactly in this direction.”

Chen Yu was somewhat perplexed.

Upon hearing this,

Mu Xueqing and Nangong Li’s expressions changed simultaneously.

The three of them had been hiding in the crevice all this time, never venturing out.

“Could it be that our breakthrough caused some disturbance?”

Mu Xueqing said,

“No, it won’t.”

Nangong Li denied, “The breakthrough of a minor stage in the Organ Refining Stage isn’t that noticeable, with at most a radius of twenty zhang showing some signs. Unless it’s a breakthrough in the Qi Transformation Realm, which would have a larger range.”

At the same moment,

near the valley entrance, nearly ten members of the Bone Demon Palace were hurrying this way.

Leading them were none other than Demon Clown, a man in battle armor, and others like Shangguan Qi.

“Brother Pang, that person should be hiding in a corner of the valley.”

A male disciple with phoenix-shaped eyes spoke respectfully within the ranks of the Bone Demon Palace.

However,

unseen by any,

an insignificant little bug vanished in a flash amidst the nearby stones.

In a crevice of the canyon,

Chen Yu and his two companions faintly saw the approaching figures of Demon Clown and the others.

“I see now, it was for this reason, such an oversight,” Chen Yu sighed deeply.

Once he finished speaking,

he looked at the dried swamp mud on his clothes, which emitted an unpleasant odor.

It turned out that

Chen Yu had hidden in the swamp before, and such a distinctive smell, even with bathing, was hard to completely wash away in one go.

If someone skilled in tracking were to follow even the slightest clue, they could indeed find him.

“Brother Yu, change your clothes quickly and mask the scent with something else. I have a bottle of perfume here that repels snakes and bugs,” Mu Xueqing said urgently.

“It’s too late!” Chen Yu shook his head.

By now, Demon Clown and his men had gradually fanned out in an orderly manner, pressing toward the area.

Trying to cover up with ordinary perfume was utterly counterproductive; it was impossible to evade a master tracker.

In order to completely remove the swampy odor from his body, he would need a special medicinal liquid to soak in.

“The only plan for now is to temporarily split up. I’ll draw them away first.”

Chen Yu’s eyes flickered, quickly coming to a decision.

Just as Mu Xueqing was about to object, Chen Yu immediately interrupted her, “Following me would just slow me down!”

On hearing this,

Mu Xueqing’s pretty face turned red and then pale, and she slightly gritted her teeth.

Nangong Li felt a surge of reluctance but remembered how Chen Yu had snatched the Mysterious Water Moth Lotus.

In such a short period of time, he had killed two Organ Refiners, seriously injured a secret disciple of the Bone Demon Palace in the Late Stage of Organ Refining, snatched the prize from under their noses, and even escaped unscathed from Demon Clown’s pursuit.

Even most of the true disciples from the top three sects wouldn’t have been able to do this.

Whoosh!

Chen Yu’s figure blurred as he darted out from the other end of the crevice.

“Over there!”

The nearly ten disciples of the Bone Demon Palace could not help but exclaim.

Chen Yu successfully drew the Bone Demon Palace’s disciples.

“Brat! Let’s see where you can run!”

A cold, cruel light shone from Demon Clown’s skewed eyes.

“Chen Yu! You poisoned my one arm. Here in the Blood Burial Garden, I will make you pay.”

Shangguan Qi gnashed his teeth, his face twisting with malice.

Shang! Shang!

The two charged after Chen Yu, one after the other, at top speed.

“Little ones, just keep on coming. I’ll stay right here to the end…” Chen Yu chuckled.

After speaking,

he shot up the mountainside of the valley, scaling the steep cliffs with agility.

The higher the valley walls rose, the steeper they became.

Toward the top, they were nearly vertical at ninety degrees!

Even those in the Organ Refining Stage needed to use their hands to climb and couldn’t simply leap up with light body techniques.

Shang! Shang!

The disciples of the Bone Demon Palace began to scale the cliff, doggedly pursuing Chen Yu.

“You few, take a detour and head to the other side of the valley to encircle him.”

Demon Clown was no fool.

Right away,

the man in the battle armor and three or four others took a different route.

Thus,

with five people including Demon Clown, they followed Chen Yu up the steep cliff face, relentlessly chasing after him.

“This kid, he climbs so fast!”

The five pursuers from the Bone Demon Palace quickly sensed something was amiss.

Only Demon Clown managed to barely keep up with Chen Yu and not get too far behind.

The others,

including Shangguan Qi, were getting left further behind.

On the other side,

inside the valley crevice, Nangong Li and Mu Xueqing watched the scene in dumbfounded silence.

“Looks like Junior Brother Chen had already planned this. If it were a flat ground pursuit, he would easily be surrounded. But climbing a mountain not only tests cultivation and movement technique but also relies on the strength and agility of the body.”

Nangong Li suddenly understood.

Indeed,

climbing such sheer cliffs demanded significant strength and agility.

Chen Yu’s body technique talent held incomparable advantages in this respect.

In a moment,

Chen Yu reached the peak of the valley first, “dominating the wicked” in speed.

This place was a hundred or so zhang above the ground, as high as a hundred floors.

“Ha ha… Little ones, Grandpa has reached the mountain top.”

Chen Yu smiled, looking down at the people below.

At that moment,

Demon Clown, the closest, was still fifteen zhang away, and Shangguan Qi and the others were even further at twenty-three zhang.

Such a gap,

even Chen Yu himself was somewhat surprised.

“Little ones, have a drink of fine wine…”

Chen Yu’s face showed a wicked smile.

The next instant,

he unbuttoned his pants and a bright arc of urine sprayed forth, dancing in the mountain wind, drifting down towards Demon Clown and the others.
