"You know that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect is Xiao Chonglou, right?"
"Several thousand years ago, he had already reached the Ninth Level of the Saint Realm. Back then, he rampaged across the Central Divine Continent and stained his hands with the blood of countless powerful cultivators!"
"No wonder I couldn't sense him. So it was him…"
Elder Ming sighed.
He never expected that his disciple would actually be Xiao Chonglou's son.
"Xiao Chonglou is really that powerful?"
Xiao Yunting asked in shock.
If that was true, then everything Xiao Chonglou had said earlier was probably true as well.
"Of course. He was already unrivaled thousands of years ago. After all these years, no one knows how strong he has become."
"From now on, you must never reveal your identity. If it becomes known, you won't be able to survive in the Profound Heaven World. You'll become a target of everyone and eventually have no choice but to flee to the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Elder Ming warned seriously.
He understood better than anyone how much the major powers hated the Heavenly Demon Sect.
If Xiao Yunting's identity were exposed, countless factions would join forces to hunt him down.
Worse still, he could become bait used to lure out the Heavenly Demon Sect itself. Either way, the outcome would be disastrous.
"I understand, Master."
Xiao Yunting looked down at the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art in his hands, his expression complicated.
What Elder Ming said made sense.
But right now, his greatest concern was whether he should cultivate this technique.
If he refused, he would never have a chance to surpass Fang Chen.
If he cultivated it, there was still hope—even if that hope was slim.
"Master, do you know anything about the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art?"
Knowing his master was incredibly knowledgeable, Xiao Yunting hoped to learn more about the technique and determine whether Xiao Chonglou had been telling the truth.
"The Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about that?"
Elder Ming looked puzzled.
"Xiao Chonglou gave me this cultivation technique."
"What?!"
"He actually gave you the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art?"
"It seems he really is your father. Otherwise, he would never have handed over such a heaven-defying technique!"
Elder Ming was visibly shocked.
"The Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art is an extremely terrifying cultivation method. I don't know where it originated from, but it possesses one horrifying characteristic."
"It can endlessly devour the talents of others and make them your own."
"Even an ordinary mortal could become a peerless genius if they absorbed enough talent from others."
"However, this power is too cruel and inhumane. That's why it's considered a demonic art."
"Like demonic cultivation itself, it is hated and feared by everyone. If its existence is exposed, you'll instantly become public enemy number one."
"Yet because of this unique ability, countless people dream of obtaining it. After all, everyone wants the chance to change their destiny."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunting's eyes burned with excitement.
Defeating Fang Chen and trampling him beneath his feet had become an obsession.
Especially after the Holy Land Tournament.
He had publicly challenged Fang Chen, but Fang Chen never appeared.
In Xiao Yunting's eyes, that was the ultimate humiliation.
He believed Fang Chen simply looked down on him.
From that day onward, he swore that no matter what methods he had to use, he would crush Fang Chen and make him experience the same humiliation.
"This truly is your only opportunity," Elder Ming said.
"I will allow you to cultivate this technique."
"But there's one condition."
"After devouring someone else's origin, you must rest for a period of time."
"You can only continue cultivating once you've completely transformed that person's origin into your own."
"This is one of the technique's flaws."
"It takes time to fully assimilate another person's origin. Otherwise, traces of their aura will remain within you."
"Most people won't notice."
"But anyone familiar with this technique can detect it easily."
"Especially the experts from major factions."
"If they discover the truth, the entire Profound Heaven World will become your enemy."
"And at that point, you will have nowhere to go."
"You'll end up just like your father—a member of the demonic path."
Elder Ming's expression grew solemn.
"Don't worry, Master. I'll remember."
"Until I possess absolute strength—until I can crush Fang Chen beneath my feet—I will never expose myself."
Xiao Yunting nodded seriously.
He now understood both the advantages and dangers of the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art.
He would not make such a foolish mistake.
"In that case, don't return to the Cloud Heaven Holy Land for now."
"Use the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art to rapidly increase your strength."
"Then one day, return and shock everyone."
"Show them that the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's only genius isn't the Cloud Heaven Holy Son."
"Show them that the most talented human cultivator isn't Fang Chen."
"You will become the new Holy Son."
"You will completely replace Fang Chen."
"And one day, you will become the Holy Lord of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land!"
The more Elder Ming spoke, the more excited he became.
It was as if he could already see Xiao Yunting crushing Fang Chen underfoot.
He could even see the day he regained his physical body.
"Master, why do you seem even more excited than I am?"
Xiao Yunting said helplessly.
The disciple himself wasn't nearly as emotional.
"Because I'm happy for your future!"
"And because I can finally see hope for reconstructing my body."
"How could I not be excited?"
Elder Ming laughed.
A rare smile appeared on Xiao Yunting's face.
"Master, don't worry."
"I'll make all of this happen."
"One day, I'll help you regain your body."
"And I'll make you even stronger than before."
"As for Fang Chen…"
"I'll crush him beneath my feet and make sure he can never rise again!"
Xiao Yunting declared confidently.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, just like Elder Ming moments earlier.
In his mind, a glorious future was already unfolding.
Fireflame City
After returning to the inn and preparing to rest, Fang Chen suddenly heard a mechanical voice in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully slacked off and received one Immortal Dao Fruit!]
"An Immortal Dao Fruit?!"
Fang Chen's entire body trembled.
His face filled with shock.
The reward was simply too incredible.
An Immortal Dao Fruit was formed when a cultivator reached the pinnacle of cultivation, stepped onto the Immortal Path, and comprehended the Laws of the Great Dao.
It represented an immortal's Dao itself—the source of all their power.
One Immortal Dao Fruit equaled one Immortal.
Of course, refining such a fruit wouldn't instantly turn someone into an immortal.
However, it would make one's path of cultivation completely unobstructed.
Reaching the Immortal Realm would become inevitable.
The only limitation was that the user's potential would stop there.
The Immortal Realm would become their ultimate ceiling.
Even so...
"An Immortal Dao Fruit!"
Fang Chen's heart surged with disbelief.
The reward was simply too outrageous.
