94: How did things turn around after we were gradually falling into Cao Cao's trap?

"What, Ancient Hehuan Sect?"

A hint of suspicion appeared on Xu Fenghua's beautiful face.

The name of this Sect sounded rather improper.

Was this Demon Empress trying to trick her?

"What, Your Highness Saintess, do you have some misunderstanding about the Ancient Hehuan Sect?" Chi Ling Demon Empress sneered.

"Let me tell you, the Ancient Hehuan Sect was a top-tier existence among the Ancient Demonic Path, and its Cultivation Technique Legacy is not what you imagine..."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain. I'll pass the Cultivation Technique to you first. If you feel it's not suitable, you can choose not to Cultivate it."

As Chi Ling Demon Empress spoke, her slender finger gently touched Xu Fenghua's smooth forehead.

Profound mystical energy instantly enveloped Xu Fenghua.

It was a direct transmission of knowledge.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chi Ling Demon Empress slowly withdrew her jade finger, and her ethereal Primordial Spirit body became three points more transparent.

Clearly, this transmission of the Cultivation Technique had significantly depleted her Primordial Spirit body.

After a while, Xu Fenghua slowly opened her eyes, her expression filled with shock.

"Powerful, yet cruel!"

Chi Ling Demon Empress said with a hint of pride, "This is the Nine Tribulation Demon Codex. Along with the Blood Scripture and the Heavenly Demon Tome, it is known as one of the three great Demonic Path Divine Abilities, capable of directly leading to the Eternal. It is far beyond what ordinary Demonic Path sacred texts can compare to."

"These three Cultivation Techniques are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. If this Empress didn't possess the Dao of the Undying Emperor Realm, I wouldn't be able to transmit this Cultivation Technique to you at all."

As Chi Ling Demon Empress spoke, a hint of reminiscence appeared in her expression.

"This Nine Tribulation Demon Codex has a unique characteristic: its progress is extremely rapid, and the several associated Divine Abilities are also incredibly powerful, unmatched by other Demonic Path Divine Abilities."

"However, it has one characteristic... Cultivating it is extremely perilous and agonizing. Out of a hundred demon cultivators who attempt this Cultivation Technique, at most one can achieve getting Started."

"One percent?" Xu Fenghua was startled and quickly asked,

"What happens if one fails?"

"They explode and die," Chi Ling Demon Empress chuckled.

"However, you don't need to worry at all."

"Because you possess the Divine Healing Body."

Xu Fenghua fell silent.

The Nine Tribulation Demon Codex was undoubtedly powerful and perfectly suited her Divine Healing Body.

It could be said that this Cultivation Technique was a heaven-sent Opportunity for her to turn the tide.

However, as a Potalaka Saintess of the Sect, to Cultivate a Demonic Technique...

"Heh heh, it seems Your Highness Saintess still can't let go," Chi Ling Demon Empress said with a hint of mockery.

"What is 'righteous' and what is 'demonic' arises from the heart. If it's righteous, it's righteous; if it's demonic, it's demonic. What does it have to do with the Cultivation Technique?"

"Alright!"

Xu Fenghua nodded heavily, "I will Cultivate this Cultivation Technique, but please, Senior Chi Ling, keep it a secret."

Chi Ling Demon Empress gave her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. After all, I'm still counting on you to help me restore my Physical Body and regain my freedom."

"Then I thank you."

"You're too kind, Saintess."

Chi Ling Demon Empress chuckled, "Alright, I should go back. Your Highness Saintess, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly."

With that, she transformed into a wisp of fragrant breeze and gracefully departed.

Saintess Fenghua's face curved into a cold smile:

"Thief Cao, you wouldn't have thought, would you? You've done so many bad things, even the Servant Girl by your side is going to betray you!"

After tidying her clothes, the Saintess's palanquin went straight out of Ganquan Palace and headed towards the Demon Suppression Prison.

That place had the strongest Yin evil spirits Qi.

The first tribulation of the Nine Tribulation Demon Codex, the Yin evil spirits Tribulation!

It required drawing in Yin evil spirits Qi to completely refine one's spiritual power into Yin evil spirits Demonic Qi, enduring nine layers of Yin evil spirits invasion within a single day... And the Demon Suppression Prison of the White Deer Academy was precisely a place rich in Yin evil spirits.

"Heh heh, this Saintess really went~"

Next door, Cao Meng couldn't help but grin mischievably.

"Master, you are truly too wicked. Someone like you who doesn't Cultivate the Demonic Path is simply a loss to the Demonic Path," Chi Ling Demon Empress said with a playful, chiding smile.

Cao Meng said with a displeased expression:

"Wicked? Am I? I'm helping her."

"Heh heh, yes, Master, you are helping her, persuading a prostitute to be good, and dragging a good woman into trouble."

Chi Ling Demon Empress giggled, coming behind Cao Meng and gently massaging his shoulders.

"She is the Potalaka Saintess of the Sect..."

Cao Meng grinned, "Speaking of which, if she Cultivates this Cultivation Technique, won't she really turn the tide?"

"Master, you can rest assured."

Chi Ling Demon Empress giggled, leaning against Cao Meng's back, "There's no problem with this Cultivation Technique at all."

"No problem?"

Cao Meng was stunned, 'Then why would I be relieved?'

"However, I merely concealed parts of the descriptions for the third and fourth tribulations; it doesn't affect the Cultivation itself," Chi Ling Demon Empress said playfully.

"What is the third tribulation?" Cao Meng asked curiously.

"The third tribulation, the threshold to the Saint Realm, is the Heart Demon Tribulation... And her Heart Demon, well, that would be you, Master."

Chi Ling Demon Empress giggled, "Although the Divine Healing Body is powerful, it has no effect on the Heart Demon Tribulation. So... heh heh, for her to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation, Master, you will have to lend a hand."

"As for the fourth tribulation... Master, don't forget, this is the supreme tome of the Ancient Hehuan Sect. How could it be missing crucial content?"

Cao Meng: "So..."

"So, the fourth tribulation, the Yin and Yang Tribulation! Heh heh~ And the only one who can help her overcome this tribulation is you, Master."

After Chi Ling Demon Empress finished speaking, she turned to face him with a fawning expression, her starry eyes fixed on Cao Meng, and her red lips parted:

"Master, does this count as a meritorious deed for your Servant Girl?"

"Of course," Cao Meng smiled faintly, his large hand running through Chi Ling Demon Empress's cool hair.

~~~

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Chi Ling Demon Empress hummed an unknown tune, walking out with a radiant smile, her voluptuous figure paired with a black starlit gown, adding much charm.

"Wait, I almost forgot, do you have the Blood Scripture?"

Behind her, Cao Meng's lazy voice came.

"Master," Chi Ling Demon Empress quickly turned around and bowed, saying,

"The Blood Scripture and the Nine Tribulation Demon Codex are both among the three supreme tomes of the Demonic Path. This Nine Tribulation Demon Codex was obtained by your Servant Girl through a fortuitous Opportunity, but as for the Blood Scripture, very few achieved it in ancient times, and your Servant Girl does not possess it either."

"If you don't have it, then forget it."

Cao Meng shook his head. It seemed the Blood Scripture would have to fall to Empress Luo Ying of Southern Chu.

"By the way, Chi Ling, you are an Ancient Demon Empress, an existence of the Undying Emperor Realm. Are you truly willing to be my Servant Girl?"

Cao Meng looked steadily at Chi Ling Demon Empress, as if trying to see through her Primordial Spirit body.

Chi Ling Demon Empress froze, a hint of reminiscence appearing in her expression:

"An Emperor for a lifetime, dominating all directions, tens of thousands of years of suppression in purgatory, I am truly tired... And~"

"Master, your ginseng fruit is truly endlessly beneficial."

With that, she transformed into a wisp of fragrant breeze and departed.

"This vixen..."

Cao Meng shook his head.

That Yuan Hao fellow must have had enough fun by now.

It's time to end it.
