Chapter 8

Hearing the system prompt, Lu Li brought up the panel to check.

Host: Lu Li.

Realm: Qi Refinement Level 1.

Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique: Level 3 (Progress 10%).

Spirit Ghost Shadow Step: Level 1 (Progress 12%).

Bone-Crushing Heart Palm: Level 1 (3%).

"The cultivation speed is decent."

Looking at the system panel, Lu Li's face showed a satisfied expression.

At this rate, it wouldn't take ten days for the two demonic techniques to break through to Level 2.

By the end of the month, he should be able to break through to Level 3.

This would definitely pass the Ghost Demon True Person's test!

However, the cultivation progress of the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique must not be neglected.

While thinking, Lu Li began to recite the Heart Sutra.

At the same time, he slightly emitted blood qi to lure resentful spirits.

Before long, a resentful spirit rushed over.

Lu Li charged forward.

"… All phenomena are empty, neither arising nor ceasing, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing… Roar! My Buddha is merciful! Go to the cycle of rebirth!"

Bang.

A loud explosion.

The resentful spirit was instantly shattered, turning into pure ghost qi that entered his body.

Thus, Lu Li began his monotonous days of subduing resentful spirits.

Cultivation knows no time.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

...

Ten Thousand Ghost Cavern.

In a valley filled with white bones, ghost cries echoed continuously.

Five ghostly figures were emitting sharp, piercing howls, using various fierce techniques to attack a black-clothed youth in the center.

The youth, standing eight feet tall, had a cold and fierce expression, moving like a ghost to dodge the ghostly figures' attacks.

With ease.

Suddenly, he stopped, took a ghost step, and appeared in front of a Blood-Feeding Ghost at Qi Refinement Level 10. His large palm, like an iron gate, struck out.

Bang.

The Blood-Feeding Ghost was directly pierced through the heart, convulsing and howling as it exploded to death.

It didn't end there.

The youth's body flashed with golden light, resisting the attack of a Three-Headed Ghost at Qi Refinement Level 10 behind him. His other hand shot up, fierce like a ghost claw, grabbing the Invisible One-Eyed Ghost above his head.

Bang.

Another resentful spirit at Qi Refinement Level 10 was directly shattered, exploding into a cloud of ghost qi.

"My Buddha is merciful, guiding you into the cycle of rebirth!"

In the next moment, the youth's voice thundered, and his palm, like an eagle's claw, fiercely grabbed the fleeing Three-Headed Ghost.

Then, he delivered three punches, fierce and brutal.

Bang, bang, bang.

The Three-Headed Ghost's three heads exploded on the spot.

The ghostly body was immediately incinerated by intense yang blood qi, turning into nothingness.

The encirclement was instantly broken!

Seeing the youth's ferocity, the remaining two resentful spirits showed fear and fled in panic.

"Amitabha, the world is full of suffering, you should go to the cycle of rebirth!"

However, the youth shouted fiercely, moving like a ghost, dashing thirty yards to catch up to one of the resentful spirits.

Without a word, he extended the Bone-Crushing Heart Palm, vicious and fierce, as if trying to pierce through a mountain.

"Ahh..."

The resentful spirit only managed to let out a scream before its heart was crushed by the golden hand, turning into a cloud of ghost qi.

Seeing this, the other resentful spirit increased its speed and fled for its life.

The youth did not chase, standing still.

The pure and thick ghost qi, like water, surrounded him, automatically entering his body.

This youth, of course, was Lu Li.

"Your Spirit Ghost Shadow Step has absorbed a large amount of ghost qi, feeling extremely satisfied, progress increased by 5%."

"Congratulations, host, your Spirit Ghost Shadow Step has broken through to Level 4."

"Your Bone-Crushing Heart Palm, due to your continuous killing, has increased in progress by 10%."

"Congratulations, host, your Bone-Crushing Heart Palm has broken through to Level 4."

At this moment, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

Continuous breakthroughs!

Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

No wonder it's a demonic technique, the cultivation speed is indeed fast!

However, over these twenty days, he had been working hard to subdue resentful spirits and cultivate these two demonic techniques without stopping, so this result was not unexpected.

At first, he only attracted one resentful spirit.

After his combat experience improved, he began to lure two, even three resentful spirits.

And he delved deeper into the Ten Thousand Ghost Cavern.

By the tenth day, the Spirit Ghost Shadow Step broke through to Level 3, and he tried to lure four resentful spirits to subdue them all at once.

His combat experience improved again!

He also settled down in this valley of white bones.

A few times, he encountered some Ghost Sect disciples.

These fellows, seeing Lu Li kill ghosts like chickens, all retreated, not daring to compete for this extremely yin place.

Another ten days passed, and Lu Li could fight five resentful spirits at Qi Refinement Level 10 simultaneously.

With ease! Unscathed!

However, perhaps due to cultivating demonic techniques, his personality also changed, becoming somewhat cold-blooded.

His emotions no longer showed on his face.

Perceiving this psychological change, Lu Li did not correct it.

After all, in this extremely dangerous demonic sect, such a cold and calculating personality was more likely to survive.

"System."

Lu Li silently spoke, bringing up the system panel.

Host: Lu Li.

Realm: Qi Refinement Level 1.

Bone-Crushing Heart Palm: Level 4 (Progress 1%).

Spirit Ghost Shadow Step: Level 4 (Progress 1%).

Purple Mist Sun Cultivation Sutra: Level 1 (Progress 0%).

After staying in the Ten Thousand Ghost Cavern for twenty days, the cultivation progress of the Purple Mist Sun Cultivation Sutra finally regressed to zero.

Now, even immortals could not tell that he was cultivating the true transmission technique of Feitian Sect.

However... his realm was still at Qi Refinement Level 1.

Lu Li was not worried at all.

His combat power, without considering magical treasures, was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment early or mid-stage demonic cultivator.

No one below Foundation Establishment could be his match!

The only bad news was that the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique was stuck at Level 3, unable to break through!

Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique: Level 3 (Progress 99%).

This feeling was like a download bar stuck at 99%, extremely frustrating.

However, Lu Li had no solution.

"Your Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique, due to your low realm and insufficient spiritual qi in your body, cannot break through."

It was his low realm that was holding back the breakthrough of the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique.

Lu Li did not expect that the mutated Adamantine Technique would have such a restriction.

However, after careful thought, this was actually a good thing.

If the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique broke through, the Ghost Demon True Person would definitely be suspicious.

To cultivate three techniques to a high level within a month?

No matter how good one's talent, it was impossible!

At that time, if the Ghost Demon True Person used soul-searching techniques, all his secrets would be exposed.

"It's time to go back, rest for three days, and prepare for the Ghost Demon True Person's inspection!"

Lu Li exhaled a breath of turbid air, turned around, and began his return journey.

Soon, he saw the blue light barrier, and with a flash, he passed through it, disappearing into the Ten Thousand Ghost Cavern.

"That kid is finally gone."

The moment Lu Li disappeared, a red-haired man appeared in the air, crossing his arms and squinting his eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, if that kid didn't leave, he would have killed all the Qi Refinement resentful spirits within ten thousand miles."

At the same time, a seductive woman in black appeared out of nowhere.

"Just a few resentful spirits, kill them if you want. However, this kid, while saying 'Amitabha,' is more ruthless than anyone, striking to kill. Whose disciple is he?"

The red-haired man showed an appreciative look.

"He is the Ghost Demon True Person's!"

The seductive woman replied.

"Hmm? The Ghost Demon True Person? That old ghost actually has such a talented disciple? Humph, if it weren't for that old ghost about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I would have directly taken this kid as my disciple!" The red-haired man's expression turned cold, and he disappeared into thin air.

"Yes, indeed a pity. However..."

The seductive woman giggled: "He can't be a disciple, but he can be a husband."

...

At this moment, Lu Li did not know that someone was coveting his talent and beauty.

He returned to his cave and began to wash up.

Just as he finished washing and was about to sleep, a system prompt sounded in his mind:

"Your Bone-Crushing Heart Palm feels that the Adamantine Indestructible Divine Technique is an eyesore, and challenges it, but ends up being taught a lesson, feeling depressed, and regressing in cultivation."

Bone-Crushing Heart Palm: Level 4 (Progress 0%).
