Chapter 20

The sound was thunderous, profound and mysterious.

The flames roared, burning fiercely.

The Dao De Jing was recited word by word from the sharp mouth, shaking the world of flames.

Yang Qifeng's habit remained unchanged; whenever he had time, he would quietly recite the Dao De Jing.

This did not change even after he obtained cultivation methods from the Dry Blue Demon God.

On the contrary, after the Dry Blue Demon God obtained a large number of cultivation methods and gained extensive knowledge, Yang Qifeng became even more enthusiastic about quietly reciting the Dao De Jing.

The path of cultivation encompasses too many things. To be detailed, it can be divided into demon cultivation, Buddhist cultivation, mystic cultivation, demonic cultivation, and so on.

Among so many cultivation methods, the most difficult to improve is the realm.

The ancient war and the war of the gods made all the demons, ghosts, and gods in the world clearly understand one thing: not cultivating the realm but focusing solely on combat power, though the strength may be high, the final outcome is extremely tragic. Not knowing the heavenly will and not understanding the heavenly timing, one will eventually perish.

The Dry Blue Demon God, who survived the ancient war, felt this most deeply. With the experience of the ancients before him, how could Yang Qifeng, like a rebellious child, shout slogans of defying heaven and do all sorts of foolish things?

After reciting the Dao De Jing in a long, flowing manner, Yang Qifeng took a long time to wake up from this profound state.

His eyes were deep, and just as he was about to open his mouth to recite the next Daoist scripture, he hesitated. Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in his heart. It seemed as if a killing aura was enveloping him. Although the killing aura was just a thread, it was extremely sharp and brilliant, capable of killing heaven, earth, and man. If he dared to open his mouth, he would surely face great calamity.

In his previous life, Yang Qifeng would not have cared and would have opened his mouth directly. But in this life, Yang Qifeng hesitated. The great way is eternal, and the heavenly way is even higher. Even the oaths made must be kept. This premonition from the unknown would not be wrong.

Yang Qifeng abandoned the Huangting Jing he was about to recite. Immediately, the thread of killing aura that enveloped him dissipated.

In his previous life, Yang Qifeng read countless Daoist scriptures, but those with great value were few and far between.

Although in his previous life, many Daoist scriptures were renowned for thousands of years, their fame was even greater and more widely spread, Yang Qifeng had to consider one thing: the place he was in now was a mythological world. The value of the Dao De Jing immediately soared, and the Huangting Jing he was about to recite had even greater value, surpassing all others.

Even the Dao De Jing was far inferior to the Huangting Jing, differing by more than one level.

Legend has it that the first Daoist scripture in the world was the Huangting Jing, which was generated by the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

Its level was much higher than the Dao De Jing, which was the words of one person.

Originally, Yang Qifeng wanted to recite the Huangting Jing to see if he could gain some benefits, as he had benefited from reciting the Dao De Jing. Now, after extinguishing this thought, he had no intention of trying other Daoist scriptures.

"Words can bring disaster," this saying made Yang Qifeng understand. He would find an appropriate opportunity to ask the Dry Blue Demon God about the other Daoist scriptures.

Spreading his wings, Yang Qifeng shook his body, and the bright red feathers on his body trembled continuously.

The color of the feathers began to glow, changing from a blood-red hue to blue, visible to the naked eye. His two feet also became one.

A long, deep cry, different from the previous clear sound.

Spreading his wings in the world of flames, Yang Qifeng felt uncomfortable. The surrounding flames were incompatible with him, subtly repelling him. The originally gentle flames had now turned into fierce beasts. A burning flame flower drifted in the world of flames and accidentally landed on Yang Qifeng's body.

Sizzle!!!

The burning sound came from Yang Qifeng's body, and the smell of burning entered his nose.

Yang Qifeng was greatly alarmed, for if this continued, he would be burned to ashes. Without hesitation, a milky white light flashed, and Yang Qifeng once again transformed into a fire crow.

The bright red feathers were burned, causing Yang Qifeng great pain. He flicked his tail, and a continuous stream of flames devoured the burned feathers, which began to glow faintly. After about a quarter of an hour, the feathers were restored.

A look of confusion appeared on Yang Qifeng's face as he fell into thought. Just now, when he transformed into the Bifang in the Eight Trigram Immortal Furnace, danger arose, which made Yang Qifeng feel strange.

The Bifang was extraordinary, a primordial spirit, an ancient demon god, and most importantly, a god of fire.

He could not believe that he was inferior to his own fire crow form. In Yang Qifeng's view, the situation was due to the benefits of the Eight Trigram Immortal Furnace. He was here to condense his true body, and the affinity with the Three Pure Fires and the Three Realms Purifying Fire was innate, making him one of their own.

The Bifang, on the other hand, was a stranger, an outsider!

This resulted in the starkly different treatment.

A satisfied look appeared on his face. The power of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang made Yang Qifeng extremely happy.

The greatest effect of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang was to refine the body, followed by transformation techniques.

Due to the demon god's blood, the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang had already abandoned body refinement in the outside world and was purely a transformation technique.

The impression the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang gave Yang Qifeng was worthy of being an ancient divine technique. His transformation method was not a physical change or a visual deception but a complete transformation, including the aura and soul, which were completely transformed into the Bifang.

Yang Qifeng possessed everything the Bifang had.

Therefore, the originally gentle Three Pure Fires immediately became domineering. If Yang Qifeng had the Bifang's strength and fire control, he would not have cared about the Three Pure Fires. Unfortunately, although Yang Qifeng had transformed, his strength had not increased at all, and he could not resist the Three Pure Fires. Fortunately, Yang Qifeng acted quickly; otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Unfortunately, although the six acupoints of the first level had been opened, the demon god's blood was too little, which limited Yang Qifeng's cultivation. Therefore, he could not complete the first level of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang. This transformation technique could only transform into the Bifang. Yang Qifeng's desire to transform into a human form was impossible to achieve. By the time Yang Qifeng could transform into a human, he would have already transformed himself.
