79: Chapter 79 Knowledge of Demons and Gods, Methods of Meditation

"Demon God..."

A crimson star reflected in Qin Feng's eyes.

That cocoon of flesh and blood entwined with tentacles was all too familiar to him, so much so that for a moment, he even felt a sense of intimacy.

"Come to think of it, the 'demon god ritual slice' contained within the astral spirit bead can transform into a Domain, and within that Domain, I can become this cocoon of the demon god."

"The cocoon of the demon god I transform into naturally cannot compare to the real demon god."

"However."

"Now, by observing this real demon god, I can imitate its Aura, gaining some experience for future use of the Demon God Ritual Domain."

Qin Feng observed with keen interest.

Suddenly.

The astral spirit bead spun out from his forehead of its own accord.

Inside the bead.

The extremely miniaturized cocoon of the demon god squirmed slightly.

A faint sense of resonance.

Bridging his consciousness.

Actually established a sliver of communication and connection with the demon god in the memory fragment!

"Hmm?"

Abruptly.

Qin Feng's pupils contracted.

In that instant of resonance and connection.

He felt as if he had truly become that demon god.

What met his eyes was a bizarre planet saturated with a dense, bloody hue. A crimson light radiated like a blazing sun throughout the cosmos, dyeing the boundless expanse of space a deep red.

Simultaneously.

Endless knowledge and information cascaded down from a single wisp of the demon god's thoughts like a waterfall from the Nine Heavens.

Towards his mind.

Rushing in with tremendous force!

"This vast amount of information and knowledge... if it truly poured into my mind, it would probably explode my brain, right?"

Qin Feng was startled.

"Is this the terror of a demon god?"

"Just the information and knowledge contained in a single wisp of its thoughts is enough to overwhelm a person. An ordinary brain capacity simply couldn't store it."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng swiftly severed his mental connection.

But.

At that very moment.

The thoughts of the demon god in the memory fragment seemed to notice his peering.

An utterly terrifying gaze focused upon him!

Fortunately, Qin Feng had severed the connection quickly.

This gaze found nothing.

Yet, even so.

A remnant of the demon god's consciousness, majestic and overwhelming as if the heavens were collapsing, still bore down upon him.

Qin Feng frowned tightly, his mind grave.

Suddenly.

The astral spirit bead, shimmering with a brilliant light, spun once again. The miniature cocoon of the demon god inside swayed slightly, and a strange suction force abruptly surged forth, drawing in all the remnants of the demon god's majestic consciousness.

It then wriggled happily.

Extending a tiny tentacle.

And stroked its own cocoon body.

Like a child patting its full belly.

Seeing this.

Qin Feng couldn't help but feel slightly astonished.

He stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face:

"It seems this astral spirit bead containing the 'demon god ritual slice' can not only communicate with the demon god's thoughts and steal its knowledge, but even... absorb the power of the demon god's conscious will?"

"Interesting."

The astral spirit bead possessed a 'living' characteristic. As its master, the bead instinctively sought benefits for Qin Feng, which was why it had suddenly and actively bridged the connection between his consciousness and the demon god.

Of course.

This action was quite dangerous.

And gave Qin Feng, who was mentally unprepared, quite a scare.

Luckily, he was quick-witted.

Otherwise, the situation could have been extremely perilous!

Qin Feng conveyed his thoughts to the astral spirit bead through will, instructing it to inform him before taking any action in the future and not to act rashly.

The previously excitedly bouncing astral spirit bead immediately drooped, letting out a pitiful "liuliu~" sound, much like a child who had done something wrong.

Qin Feng felt both amused and exasperated.

Regardless.

This little thing had indeed brought him some benefits this time.

So, with a flick of his finger.

He squeezed out a drop of blood.

And flicked it towards the little thing as a reward.

The astral spirit bead immediately became excited again. After absorbing the blood, it circled once around Qin Feng's head as if praising his greatness, then vanished into his forehead.

"Although I quickly severed the mental connection with the demon god, I still managed to obtain some information and knowledge from that wisp of its thoughts."

"Hmm, let me sort it out."

While sensing the remaining images from the memory fragments.

Qin Feng began organizing the knowledge pertaining to the demon god.

Some questions.

Were instantly understood and comprehended as he absorbed this knowledge.

In short.

The knowledge gained this time concerned two aspects.

First, that massive and majestic cocoon of the demon god was merely the first and most ordinary state of the demon god. As the fox demon 'Liuwei Meiji' had said, the demon god was indeed old now, past its Peak, and thus mostly maintained the most ordinary 'cocoon of the demon god' state.

Following the 'cocoon of the demon god', there were two post-cocoon states, though details were unknown.

Second, it was less like knowledge and more like a cultivation method for a demon god ability.

"Although this ability is extremely ordinary for a demon god, for me, it is exceptionally precious."

A glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

He looked at his crimson cheat panel.

As the knowledge was absorbed.

The ability naturally imprinted itself into his bodily instincts.

In the panel's skill column.

A new skill had now appeared:

Demon God Meditation Method: beginner (1%)

"This 'Demon God Meditation Method' can greatly enhance my Mental Energy and willpower. More fundamentally... it strengthens my own 'spiritual body', giving it more spirituality and making it resilient and unyielding."

Qin Feng couldn't help but think of martial cultivation.

The beginning of martial cultivation.

Was precisely the refinement of Acupoints throughout the body.

The human body was like a Universe.

Acupoints were like black holes.

When enough refined Acupoints were accumulated, the power that could be unleashed would become increasingly greater. But... maintaining the stable operation of these Acupoint black holes required extraordinarily powerful mental and willpower.

"The mental and willpower of an ordinary person has a very clear limit, and there's simply no method to improve it. After all, the existence of the 'spiritual body' is profound and mysterious; ordinary people cannot perceive, contact, let alone train it."

"But this 'Demon God Meditation Method' allows me to easily temper my own 'spiritual body', strengthening my mind and will."

"This way, I can confidently refine more Acupoints."

Qin Feng couldn't help but immerse himself in the meditation practice.

Suddenly.

His thoughts stirred.

He withdrew his immersed consciousness, gathering it all into one particular memory fragment that shimmered with a dazzling red light.

This was the final memory fragment obtained through Anatomy.

At the same time...

It was also the memory fragment with the most brilliant red glow.

Signifying that the memory within was the most extraordinary!

"The truth behind the mutation of the Raccoon Apartments is most likely that the fox demon 'Liuwei Meiji' privately gave birth to her own Demon Egg within the apartments, thoroughly angering the demon god and causing it to descend its power to punish her. The Raccoon Apartments and the tenants inside were merely caught in the crossfire."

"The demon god's power activated the dead egg of the demon god that had long been planted within the tenants' bodies, causing them to mutate completely into monsters."

"But..."

"Regarding how that fox demon escaped the tribunal, and how to break the seal on the Raccoon Apartments to leave this place, there are still no clues whatsoever."

"I hope this final memory fragment contains relevant information."

Qin Feng took a deep breath.

He directed his perception towards the final memory fragment before him.

Instantly.

A maddened laugh filled his ears.

And amidst this mad laughter, an utterly incredulous voice of fury thundered like roaring lightning:

"You... you actually managed to steal the 'relic of the demon god' from the previous generation's demon god?!"
