The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 580 Zhu Yuyan's promotion method

After some intimate time, Shi Qingxuan met up with the two brothers of the Yang family who were sent to protect Zhang Xutuo. She took a trophy, a master-level monk, and sailed into the sea. Then she took another ship and headed straight to Liaodong. Her wedding would be soon, and it was really not suitable for her to continue wandering outside. Presumably, the emperor's imperial edict would soon arrive in Liaodong.

With Shi Qingxuan gone, Qianqian could enjoy Yang Xuyan's gentleness, or rather, his help, all to herself. The Heavenly Demonic Art was a master-level technique, but also a semi-rapidly mastered magical technique. It had many limitations and flaws, not being able to break free before reaching the eighteenth level was just one of them. The further one progressed, the harder it became to break through.

Fortunately, this method comes from the Heavenly Demon Strategy, which comes from the War God Atlas, and has the same origin as the Art of Immortality. Yang Xuyan has already achieved minor success in practicing the Art of Immortality, and the seven kinds of true qi can circulate freely. Once the seven kinds of true qi are combined into one, he will be able to achieve major success. By then, he will be an unparalleled grandmaster, or even a powerful person at the Broken Level.

Even so, the seven kinds of immortal qi at this time can still push Kankan's strength to advance by leaps and bounds. In just seven days, with the help of one kind of qi every day, Kankan's Tianmo Dafa was promoted to the seventeenth level, and her strength reached the peak of the master. Compared with the Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan, she only lacked a little bit of total internal force and qi, but she was not inferior in other aspects.

Kankan has also experienced many worlds, and has a lot of knowledge in martial arts and experience in fighting enemies. She had quite a bit of experience in practicing Xiao Wuxiang Gong in the previous world. After her memory was restored, she had considered practicing Xiao Wuxiang Gong again, but finally gave up. She had to grit her teeth and go on the path she had chosen. Besides, this Tianmo Dafa is actually not bad. If it can be combined with the lost "Purple Blood Dafa", she can become an unparalleled grandmaster, and it is possible for her to achieve success.

At the very least, she could steal Xi Ying's Purple Qi Heavenly Net to perfect the Heavenly Demonic Art, taking the Eighteen Layers of Heavenly Demonic Art to the next level. After all, countless people created their own martial arts in the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, and Kankan wouldn't mind becoming one of them. Even if she couldn't do it, she still had her husband. If she didn't need him to contribute, there would be no need to give him all those demonic martial arts, including the Heavenly Demonic Art.

In the original novel, Kankan pretended to be possessed by a demon and absorbed Xu Ziling's immortality qi to break through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Art. Now, Kankan has obtained Yang Xuyan's more refined and complete seven kinds of immortality qi. Not only has she recovered all the injuries caused by her training, but she has no more obstacles in reaching the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Art.

"Husband, with the help of the Xieji Sect's inheritance, Master has taken a step further to the level of a half-step grandmaster. However, he has been unable to truly enter the realm of a grandmaster. Does husband have any solution?" Kankan still has some feelings for Zhu Yuyan. Although she knows the ins and outs of this world and knows that she is just a passer-by, no one is heartless. She does not want to become a cold and heartless person.

Yang Xuyan pondered for a moment, then nodded gently, saying, "Martial arts in this world place great emphasis on spiritual will, and the techniques are often bizarre. The so-called inability to complete the Heavenly Demonic Art after breaking the virginity seems to me more like a form of mental confinement, or a vow. All practitioners of the Heavenly Demonic Art are warned at the outset of their practice. This belief is deeply ingrained in their bones. Regardless of whether it's true or not, once a virginity is broken, they will limit themselves, and will never be able to reach the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demonic Art, and thus break through to the Grandmaster realm."

"I once said that a Grandmaster needs to reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm, with both energy and spirit, and then take a crucial step on his path and elevate his mind. However, if you lose your virginity, the Heavenly Demonic Art cannot be completed. It is more like a bondage to the mind. If you want to break through, it is not impossible. Both the righteous and the evil can achieve it."

Yang Xuyan whispered, "The simplest method would be to use soul-stealing or soul-transferring techniques to make Sect Leader Zhu temporarily forget about her virginity loss, and instill in her the illusion that she has reached the peak of the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Demonic Art and is about to break through. However, this method also has its drawbacks. Sect Leader Zhu is incredibly powerful and has an unyielding spirit. It would be difficult to steal or transfer her soul, and if she were to break through, there's the risk of backlash and even demonic possession."

Kanan rolled her eyes cutely and complained that the method was unreliable, but she knew that this was undoubtedly the simplest and most direct way. Unfortunately, the risk was too great. Zhu Yuyan's mental resilience and hatred for Shi Zhixuan were definitely not so easy to break.

"The second method is also simple. Just like how Shi Zhixuan stepped on Fu Cailin to ascend to the throne, or how the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai openly challenged Master Yijian, as long as she can openly defeat or even kill the Grandmaster-level Evil King Shi Zhixuan, she will be able to break free from her shackles and achieve Grandmaster status."

Kankan was really speechless. Her own master couldn't even gain the upper hand against Shi Zhixuan, who was at the half-step grandmaster level, let alone Shi Zhixuan, who was at the grandmaster level. This was simply making things difficult for her.

Given his master's stubborn character, if things go wrong, he might launch a suicide attack and destroy Shi Zhixuan along with him. At that time, he would be really self-defeating and the consequences would be disastrous.

"The third method your master is currently pursuing is to search for more secret manuals on the Heavenly Demon Strategy. This will allow him to perfect the Heavenly Demonic Art and advance to Grandmaster level without breaking through to the eighteenth level. He can then reversely break through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demonic Art with the strength of a Grandmaster."

"This is indeed a solution that is not a solution, but..."

"We can do both. If you can't find the Purple Blood Method, you can try the Purple Qi Heavenly Net. For your master, every bit of progress is incredibly valuable." Yang Xuyan continued, "Another option is to switch to a higher-level martial art. With the strength of a Yin Hou Half-Step Grandmaster, there's a chance he could make further progress."

Kankan suddenly said, "In the original novel, Kou and Xu used the 'Eternal Life Secret' as their foundation, and achieved Grandmaster status through the 'Eight Methods of the Well' and the 'Immortal Seal'. Kankan used her immortality qi to push the 'Heavenly Demonic Art' to the eighteenth level, advancing to Grandmaster status. Ba Fenghan was defeated and then re-established, achieving Grandmaster status with the 'Sun-Changing Art'. Shi Feixuan elevated her spiritual realm by teasing Xu Ziling's emotions, and achieved Grandmaster status through the 'Cihang Sword Classic'. So what about the villain Yang Xuyan?"

Yang Xuyan was suddenly startled, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "You mean the 'Wisdom Sutra of Controlling the Origin of All Things'?"

Kana's cute little head nodded repeatedly, "It's the 'Wisdom Sutra of Controlling the Origin of All Dharmas'. This method is quite unique, it can control all Dharmas and turn the illusion into reality. Because it has the characteristics of the root of all Dharmas, any technique can be sublimated. I believe the Heavenly Demon Technique is no exception."

Yang Xuyan pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "This martial art can probably directly elevate your spiritual realm, or even your so-called wisdom. I must acquire it. If you hadn't mentioned it, I might have overlooked it until the Daming Zunjiao showed up!"

"What is Brother Bufan going to do?"

"Don't think about Xu Kaishan for now. He hasn't entered the Central Plains yet. But you can consider Wang Shichong. After all, he is a former atom. It's impossible that he hasn't learned this magical skill."

"Indeed, Wang Shichong was able to achieve the status of Grandmaster, yet he performed so poorly. This would certainly not have been possible without the 'Sutra of Wisdom on the Origin of Controlling All Laws'. This technique seems to have extremely high mental requirements. If the mental strength is broken, the power will be greatly reduced. Brother Bufan needs to be careful."
