This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 300 - 289: [Eight Consciousnesses Return to Origin Sword Technique]

Chapter 300: Chapter 289: [Eight Consciousnesses Return to Origin Sword Technique]

"The cultivation technique is mediocre, but the sword technique is somewhat interesting; you can take a look." Liang Yi passed a thread-bound book, made of some unknown material, to Su Youyi and gave another book, the Eight Consciousnesses Returning to Origin Skill, to Taibai Ge.

Although the wooden box looked almost like a piece of junk, the items inside remained intact as ever.

"Is... is this a cultivation technique?" Taibai Ge’s hands trembled as he took the book from Liang Yi’s hands. Nowadays, a single cultivation technique has been hyped to astronomical prices by wealthy players, and he just so happened to be in need of money.

[Eight Consciousnesses Returning to Origin Skill]: Sixth Grade Purple Technique, created thousands of years ago by the Elder of Eight Consciousnesses by integrating the Zen Eight Consciousness Secret Method. It lays the foundation of cultivation on one’s own eight consciousnesses in order to transcend worldly Dharma.

"It seems quite formidable, but didn’t Boss Liang just say it’s pretty average?"

He’s just an ordinary newbie, playing the game entirely for relaxing with his girlfriend. It’s just that he named himself Taibai Ge, and upon seeing Taibai City, he subconsciously felt a connection and chose this place as his birthplace.

"Should I wait to learn it myself when I reach the required level, or should I sell it at a high price right away?" Currently, there are only two ways to acquire cultivation techniques: joining a sect and encountering unique quests.

The former requires completing many prerequisite tasks and one can only learn the techniques for personal use, eliminating the chance to sell them. The latter is entirely up to luck, a true game of fortunes. If you’re lucky, you encounter it; if not, you don’t.

"Eight Consciousnesses Returning to Origin Sword Technique, Brother, are you not learning it?" Su Youyi glanced at the title on the book she was holding and looked up to ask Liang Yi.

"I’ve already memorized it." Liang Yi responded with a slight smile, composed, while secretly glancing at his skill panel.

"Ding! You have learned [Eight Consciousnesses Returning to Origin Sword Technique]!"

Making the most of your advantages!

"This sword technique draws largely on Zen concepts, the ideas are quite novel, meow." Mr. Orange lay on a tree, examining the Eight Consciousnesses Returning to Origin Sword Technique together with Su Youyi.

"The sword technique mainly targets the eight consciousnesses of a person: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, intent, Alaya consciousness, and innermost awareness."

Liang Yi slowly read through the cultivation insights about this sword technique that the system had transmitted to his Sea of Consciousness.

"Mr. Orange is right; the creator of this sword technique clearly absorbed some concepts and methods from the Desert North’s Zen, combining them with his own thoughts to create this sword technique," Liang Yi pointed to the section about consciousness in the book, continuing to his junior sister:

"The first six consciousnesses targeted by the sword technique are straightforward, but starting with the seventh, the Alaya consciousness, things become more mystical. Alaya, the source of intent, is what we commonly refer to as the mind. I even suspect that these last two were just the senior’s ideas and that even he didn’t reach that realm."

Su Youyi paid special attention to the section on "mind" in the sword technique. From her perspective, it was a very interesting approach, capable of providing plenty of inspiration.

"Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique?" Su Youyi suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her senior brother, appearing to understand why he valued this seemingly unremarkable sword technique.

"What’s that, meow?" Mr. Orange raised his head, utterly confused. What on earth was the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique? He had never heard of it.

"Yes, that’s right, the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique." Liang Yi clapped his hands, a glint in his eyes.

He and his junior sister had personally experienced the power of the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique. When they were seen as mere juniors by the Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect, they managed to injure Tian Anyu using this sword technique created by their master.

But since that life-and-death crisis, neither he nor his junior sister could reach that profound Mental State again. Without the matching Mental State, the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique naturally couldn’t be executed, no matter how much they tried.

Su Youyi also felt regret; when executing the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique, the sensation of hearts resonating in unison was incomparably wonderful and unforgettable. But in this world, no two hearts can truly resonate as one, so even their exceptionally gifted master could only split this Immortal Technique into two sword techniques to pass down.

"Zen specializes in exploring the path of the heart, but their concepts and methods are strongly imprinted with Zen. However, the sword technique we have here had the help of a creative predecessor who has already simply merged the sword path with the heart, making it perfect for us to ponder." Only now did Liang Yi reveal his intentions.

The Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique was incredibly enticing, but the single-use pass ran out after one use. To turn a single-use pass into a permanent pass, Liang Yi had to find other methods to try.

"Hmm, I just went through it once, and the proposed relationship between ’sword heart’ and ’heart as a sword’ does have some merit; it might indeed be helpful to you, meow." Mr. Orange, who came second to none in understanding the Dao, opined that there certainly was a reason behind his words.

"Senior brother, I’ve already remembered the sword technique," Su Youyi closed the book in her hands and, after going over it again in her Sea of Consciousness and finding no issues, she then handed the book back to Liang Yi.

"Give it to him; after all, it’s this Daoist friend’s legacy. I’m already grateful that he allowed us to view it." Liang Yi handed the Eight Consciousnesses Returning to Origin Sword Technique to Taibai Ge, who had been listening in for quite a while.

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me." Taibai Ge was grinning from ear to ear at this moment. A sword technique that esteemed individuals like Liang Yi and Su Youyi took interest in must be something special; its value was perhaps even higher than that cultivation technique.

"By the way, I have a favor to ask of Brother Bai Ge. However, it involves risking your life, so I hope you’ll consider it carefully."

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the task[Foreknowledge of Conspiracy]!"

[Task Prompt: Taoist Sect’s Liang Yi accidentally discovered a conspiracy targeting the Complete Heaven Sect by the Devouring Spirit Sect. With his good looks and kind heart, Liang Yi has no choice but to help. However, the disguise of the Devouring Spirit Sect is very sophisticated, so someone needs to expose their masquerade.]

[Task Requirement: Engage in a conflict with a member of the Devouring Spirit Sect, forcing them to make a move.]

[Task Completion: 0%]

[Task Reward: 10k Experience, Purple Cloud Sect Entry Qualification, +100 Favorability towards Liang Yi]

[This task is extremely dangerous and will determine your faction allegiance, please choose carefully!]

Bai Ge blinked his eyes; it was the first time he had seen a mission warning him of the danger.

But how does it matter how dangerous it is? It’s simply about using up one of the revival chances, as for faction allegiance?

Sorry, when he saw the task reward, he had long since turned into a die-hard fan of Boss Liang!

Right now, the online forums were almost going mad discussing the Purple Cloud Sect, which he was aware of, even while fishing previously, most of the time his girlfriend chatted with him was about the Purple Cloud Sect.

And when Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei, those two gaming legends, posted screenshots of the Purple Cloud Sect’s Daoist Skill Shop and Magical Treasure Shop on the forums, it completely blew up the hearts of other players.

This is no longer just about craving lemons; this is about planting a lemon tree straight in everyone’s heart!

All players have been envious.

That dazzling Daoist Skill Shop that takes more than ten seconds to scroll through, does it really exist?

Those various categories of Second Grade golden Daoist Skills, how many whales and grinders dream of them?

The First-grade top Immortal Treasures displayed at the highest part of the shop, how many players does it make cry wistfully, so much so they would rather rob the Purple Cloud Sect directly if they could?

Now everyone knows that Liang Yi is the Sect Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect, and the adventure task that countless players had devoted all efforts to complete, was also in hopes of getting an entry qualification from Liang Yi. Unexpectedly, the thing others dream of appeared right before the eyes of Bai Ge.

"Is this what I once scorned as the European dog?" Bai Ge said in a daze, muttering to himself. "If so, then let me continue to be lucky."

Good luck comes one by one, whoever is lucky is the dog.

Once lucky, you can be the dog; who cares about being good friends.

"Accept!"

"Facing difficulties fearlessly is our most noble characteristic!" Bai Ge said this sentence so righteously that it made both Liang Yi and the elder cat roll their eyes.

In his past life, Bai Ge was also somewhat famous among the player community, not for his personal fame, but for his and his wife’s renown.

Both Bai Ge and Zhang Yuge were known for their lucky charm—such fame that even some super-rich guilds that form teams for raids would cut two DPS spots just to invite them into the team, which is telling.

Therefore, Liang Yi felt that the Purple Cloud Sect, as a newly-emerging "small sect," really needed such rare talents.

"Alright, let me briefly explain to you how to do it." Liang Yi decided to teach Bai Ge hands-on to ensure the successful execution of the plan.

Su Youyi and the elder cat stood guard to prevent anyone from the Devouring Spirit Sect from eavesdropping, while Liang Yi carefully instructed Bai Ge step by step on how to act.

"Do you understand what to do?"

"Understood!" Bai Ge nodded resolutely.

"Okay, we will lure them out, and you wait for us on your way to the Complete Heaven Sect."

After giving Bai Ge the instructions, Liang Yi immediately turned into a tunneling light with his junior sister and, in an instant, returned to Taibai City.

As soon as Liang Yi and Su Youyi stepped one foot inside the city gates, a guard whom Liang Yi had seen before at Fu Changxing’s mansion’s gate, cloaked in a cape, appeared directly in front of Liang Yi.

Perfectly keeping their distance from the player activity spots, out of the players’ sight, the guard spoke respectfully but unequivocally:

"Chief Liang Yi, Elder Fu has prepared the items, please follow me!"

Since Liang Yi appeared at the northern city gate, the Devouring Spirit Sect had just searched the entire city and could not find Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and An Mujing—almost thinking their plan was exposed and that the trio had already run away.

"Where is Chief An? Lord Fu is still waiting." The guard only saw the two of them and the beast, but did not see the True Inheritor female disciple of the Complete Heaven Sect.

"Sister An went back to inform Teacher Yu after learning that the Ten-thousand Flight Dragon Trunk is insufficient and needs to be replaced with the Blue Sky Taibai Wood, to prepare Teacher Yu in advance. Otherwise, if we transport the materials only to find there is a problem causing a delay, that would be bad, right?" Liang Yi casually explained.

"Uh... yes." The guard couldn’t find any flaws in Liang Yi’s response and could only agree.

After all, Blue Sky Taibai Wood can replace Ten-thousand Flight Dragon Trunk in most situations, but if there were any issues, it would not only delay Fang Zhi’s plan but also the Devouring Spirit Sect’s plan.

So An Mujing going back in advance to get Fang Zhi prepared also reduces the risk of an unexpected issue in their Devouring Spirit Sect’s plan.
