6: Purple intelligence: Devouring Heaven Demon Art!

"Go and summon the True Disciple Shen Miaoyin. Tell her I have an important matter to discuss with her."

“Yes.” Although Gu Qingxue was puzzled, she immediately took the order and left.

Soon after, a fragrant breeze wafted in.

Shen Miaoyin, dressed in a light purple long dress, walked into the Immortal Cave with light lotus steps.

Her figure was graceful, her face charming, and her peach blossom eyes sparkled, as if they could captivate souls.

“Disciple Shen Miaoyin greets Old Ancestor.” She bowed gracefully, her voice enchantingly sweet. “Hearing that Old Ancestor’s injuries have improved, Miaoyin is truly delighted.”

In her bright eyes, there was a hint of just the right amount of concern, and a trace of imperceptible doubt and probing.

In the secret chamber, only the two of them were present at this moment.

Every gesture and smile of Shen Miaoyin carried a natural charm, enough to make any Golden Core Cultivator lose their Dao Heart.

However, Lu Yuan simply looked at her calmly, his eyes as still as an ancient well.

“Disciples of the Blissful Union Sect also know how to care for others?” he said indifferently.

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Shen Miaoyin’s mind.

The smile on her face instantly froze, and for the first time, genuine panic and fear appeared in her charming peach blossom eyes. “Old Ancestor… you… what are you saying? This Disciple doesn’t understand.”

“Don’t understand?” A cold arc formed at the corner of Lu Yuan’s mouth.

Boom.

An irresistible, vast Divine Sense power, like an abyss, instantly swept out, pressing down heavily on Shen Miaoyin’s Divine Soul like an invisible mountain.

How terrifying was the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection Cultivator?

Shen Miaoyin felt as if her Divine Soul had become a small boat, liable to capsize at any moment in a storm.

All her disguises, all her secrets, became vulnerable in the face of this absolute power.

All the memories in her Sea of Consciousness unfolded like a scroll before Lu Yuan.

A moment later, Lu Yuan withdrew his Divine Sense.

He not only saw through all the secrets in Shen Miaoyin’s heart but also, incidentally, extracted a Heaven Rank forbidden secret technique called the “Heavenly Demonic Disintegration Great Art” from the depths of her Sea of Consciousness, which was protected by the Blissful Union Sect’s secret methods.

This method allows one to burn essence blood and Lifespan to erupt with strength far exceeding one’s own Realm in a short period.

Although the side effects are immense, it is still a good trump card for saving one’s life.

Lu Yuan flicked a finger, and a Divine Sense imprint was directly planted into Shen Miaoyin’s Sea of Consciousness.

From then on, her life and death were at Lu Yuan’s whim.

“Ah…” Shen Miaoyin let out a cry of pain, her face instantly turning pale.

She could feel an irresistible imprint deep within her Divine Soul.

“Now, can you speak?” Lu Yuan’s voice sounded again.

Shen Miaoyin no longer held any hope, collapsing to the ground, trembling as she said, “Old Ancestor, spare me. This Disciple… this Disciple is indeed from the Blissful Union Sect. The Sect Master… the Sect Master suffered severe damage to her Origin due to repeatedly using the Heavenly Demonic Disintegration Great Art in her early years.

She heard that your Sect’s Eternal Youth Technique of the Azure Wood has miraculous effects in repairing Origin and increasing Lifespan, which is why… why she sent this Disciple to try and steal it.”

Lu Yuan nodded; this was consistent with the information he had extracted.

He also had some understanding of the Blissful Union Sect.

This Sect is located in the Fengyuan Kingdom, adjacent to the Zhao State. It is one of the Six Demonic Sects, powerful and far beyond what the four Nascent Soul Sects of the Zhao State could compare to.

Most importantly, the Blissful Union Sect Master is a true Soul Transformation mighty figure.

It was precisely for this reason that she dared not come in person.

There was an unwritten agreement between the Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao and the Six Demonic Sects: mighty figures above the Soul Transformation Stage were not to easily cross each other’s territories unless it was a war to annihilate a Sect.

“You are quite loyal,” Lu Yuan said, his tone unreadable.

He looked at Shen Miaoyin, who was slumped on the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, but his mind was pondering another matter.

This woman, in the original trajectory, might have intersected with Xiao Fan.

As a demonic enchantress and Xiao Fan as the Son of Destiny, according to the trope, a drama of a hero saving the beauty or a love-hate relationship would most likely unfold.

Perhaps, she would even become one of Xiao Fan’s Opportunities.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan decided to temporarily keep this chess piece by his side.

“From today onwards, you will stay by my side and be a maid,” Lu Yuan calmly announced.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaoyin’s delicate body trembled, a hint of humiliation flashing in her eyes, but it ultimately transformed into submissive obedience. “Yes, Master.”

Just then, 11 PM - 1 AM arrived.

[Ding, daily intelligence has been refreshed.]

[White Intelligence: Second Elder Zhao Wuji harbors resentment because his son Zhao Jinhuan’s Dao foundation was destroyed during a competition with Gu Qingxue in his early years, and the Ancestor Qingyun protected Gu Qingxue without any punishment.

He has secretly defected to the Beast King Valley, promising to open the gates for the Beast King Valley at a critical moment.]

[White Intelligence: Third Elder Liu Mengxi’s Dao Companion is Peak Lord Tai Chu, but she was saved by Heavenly Sword Mountain’s Golden Core Peak Lord Li Dao during her early years and has secretly fallen for him. Under Li Dao’s instigation, she has agreed to defect to Heavenly Sword Mountain and promised to offer the Sect’s Pill Formulas as a token of allegiance.]

[Purple Intelligence: The Son of Destiny Xiao Fan, due to revealing his wealth in the Zhao Kingdom Capital, will be pursued today by a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

During his escape, he will fall into a demonic cave and unexpectedly obtain an Incomplete Manual of a Cultivation Technique far beyond Heaven Rank—the “Heaven Devouring Demonic Art.” This Cultivation Technique can enhance one’s Physique and cultivation by devouring the Origin of all special Physiques.

Lu Yuan looked at these three pieces of intelligence, his eyes growing colder.

Zhao Wuji, Liu Mengxi, the high-ranking members of this Sect had become rotten to such an extent.

If he hadn’t had the System, the Azure Cloud Sect would probably have been completely devoured without anyone realizing it.

However, what interested him most was the last piece of purple intelligence.

The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, which could devour the Origin of all special Physiques.

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yuan’s mouth.

This Xiao Fan was truly sparing no effort in preparing gifts for him.

He had just obtained the Pure Yang Dao Body, and Xiao Fan immediately presented a Demonic Technique that could devour Physiques.

“Such a Heaven-Defying Demonic Technique is truly wasted on you,” Lu Yuan murmured.

Lu Yuan did not waste too much time on Shen Miaoyin.

With a movement of his body, he disappeared from the Immortal Cave.

A moment later, he appeared above a demonic cave a hundred miles away.

The Spiritual Qi here was sparse, and it was perpetually enveloped by a cold Evil Qi.

Lu Yuan’s Divine Sense swept across, and soon, according to the coordinates provided by the System, he located an inconspicuous cave entrance covered by rubble.

The entrance was narrow, barely allowing one person to pass.

A strong smell of blood and resentment immediately assailed him.

He slowly went deeper, and the interior of the cave suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground space.
