Chapter 356: Chapter 290: Devouring the Infant (Extra updates, please subscribe)

Several days later.

In an underground cave somewhere.

Fang Xing opened a jade box and saw a fist-sized, pale cyan Essence Soul Pill inside, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Previously, he had joined forces with Chu Kuangtu to slay the Green Water Cold Flood Dragon. He hadn’t asked for anything else, only taking this Essence Soul Pill and the "Green Water Cold Flame."

The "Green Water Cold Flame" was ranked Fourth Rank, which Fang Xing directly threw into the Green Sun Demon Lamp to slowly absorb its origin and enhance the power of the Soul-devouring Demon Fire.

Originally, the Green Sun Demon Lamp was a Strange Treasure capable of absorbing various Spiritual Fires and amplifying the power of the Original Spark.

After Fang Xing placed the Green Water Cold Flame into the Green Sun Demon Lamp, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

At this moment, his focus was entirely on the Essence Soul Pill.

Within the semi-transparent Flood Dragon Pearl, a miniature flood dragon lay prostrate, appearing extremely listless.

"Just right, to take this Essence Soul Pill and test out the Wanxiang Sect’s ’Devouring Infant Technique’..."

Fang Xing sat cross-legged and slapped his head.

Above his Heavenly Spirit, a black light flickered, and the grinning form of the All Techniques Ghost Infant appeared.

It stretched out its hands, continuously casting Seal Techniques that turned into strands and threads of black lines, entering into the Flood Dragon’s Essence Soul Pill.

The miniature flood dragon seemed to sense a great disaster approaching, thrashing left and right without any effect.

The black lines, strand by strand, continuously wrapped around the flood dragon’s body like black shackles, ultimately rendering the little green flood dragon immobile.

Seeing this, the All Techniques Ghost Infant’s face displayed satisfaction, and the Hand Techniques changed.

An overwhelming Mana surged out, enveloping that Essence Soul Pill.

Accompanied by the flashing of one ancient Rune after another, this Fourth Rank Essence Soul Pill continuously shrank, eventually entering the mouth of the All Techniques Ghost Infant.

After swallowing the Essence Soul Pill, the All Techniques Ghost Infant immediately sat cross-legged, its Mana flickering dimly and its aura unstable.

A flash of light!

Fang Xing’s Sword Infant also exited his body, casting Mana onto the All Techniques Ghost Infant to assist in its breakthrough.

Time passed moment by moment.

Several two hours later, the Mana fluctuations around the All Techniques Ghost Infant finally began to stabilize.

Its body seemed to have grown somewhat more robust, slowly advancing from False Infant toward the Nascent Soul Early Stage...

However, it was clear that there was still a gap, and it had not reached the stage of the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

"As expected... still lacking a Nascent Soul."

The Sword Infant returned to its place, and Fang Xing opened his eyes, continuously observing the All Techniques Ghost Infant, "This method of the Demon Path to create a Second Nascent Soul is indeed sinister and extremely difficult; no wonder no one in Wanxiang Sect has ever succeeded..."

There were, after all, a few Cultivators of Wanxiang Sect who managed to cultivate a False Infant, leaving records in history.

But there had never been any record of someone who had cultivated a Second Nascent Soul with Great Divine Power.

Clearly, the requirement to kill two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, or even capture a Nascent Soul alive for the All Techniques Nascent Soul to devour, was too harsh.

If the old monsters of the Nascent Soul Stage in Wanxiang Sect had such strength, they could have unified the entire Da Jing Immortal Cultivation World!

"However, this Devouring Infant Technique indeed works, just that the aftermath was a bit severe..."

Fang Xing saw the All Techniques Ghost Infant open its eyes, its crimson pupils carrying a hint of madness and malice, signaling the onset of the aftermath of swallowing the Essence Soul.

This All Techniques Ghost Infant had its ferocity stimulated and could lash out at any time!

He stood unflinching, seizing the All Techniques Ghost Infant in his hand, channeling the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’!

After refining the All Techniques Ghost Infant anew, it opened its eyes again, its gaze clear but with a sense of confusion, no longer possessing its previous ferocity.

"Indeed, even the most demonic Nascent Soul can be subdued by my Great Sun Tathagata Mantra."

Fang Xing released a sigh of relief.

Having decided to use the ’Devouring Infant Technique’ to enhance the Cultivation of the All Techniques Nascent Soul, he naturally had to bear the consequences of the All Techniques Ghost Infant’s significant increase in Divine Powers, the rebirth of inner demons, and the potential for direct rebellion!

The solution had already been thought of: to suppress it with the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra.’

In terms of demonic influence, how could the mere madness of devouring a bit of Nascent Soul Essence compare to an Outer Realm Evil God?

The facts proved that Fang Xing’s speculation was correct.

Now the All Techniques Ghost Infant not only had greatly increased Mana, but the Great Sun pattern on its forehead was even more dazzling, showing no signs of rebellion.

"Very well, it’s time to continue feeding more Nascent Souls... even, to push it to advance before me to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, or even Nascent Soul Late Stage!"

Although the Wanxiang Sect’s secret techniques recorded that the probability of rebellion increases greatly during the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and rebellion is inevitable during the Nascent Soul Late Stage after using the Devouring Infant Technique’s promoted Second Nascent Soul... Fang Xing, possessing the ’Great Sun Tathagata Mantra’, wasn’t very concerned.

More crucially... this method was the fastest way to elevate Cultivation!

After advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, Fang Xing also tried practicing Cultivation and then came to a somewhat hopeless conclusion.

Even atop a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein, with his Spirit Root Talent, to practice Cultivation to the peak of Mana in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he would need to count in ’centuries.’

If he encountered another bottleneck, advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage might take several hundred years!

This was the norm for Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Da Jing Land, with most on both the Righteous and Demonic sides merely in the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

As for learning from previous experiences and massively ingesting Elixirs for Cultivation?

The value of Fourth Rank Elixirs was already hard to measure with Spirit Stones, even Wasted Pills were enough to make Jiedan Cultivators eagerly seek them.

Obtaining a large quantity was essentially impossible.

And to refine them himself?

After scouring the Wanxiang Sect’s Treasure Vault, Fang Xing quickly concluded.

To refine enough Elixirs for him to advance to the peak of the Nascent Soul Early Stage, one Wanxiang Sect alone was definitely not enough!

Perhaps after obliterating four or five other Nascent Soul Sects, it would be about enough.
