"All living beings scorched, a sight too horrible to behold!"
"Follow the Heavenly Dao and become a god; defy the Heavenly Dao and become a devil!"
"If Heaven and Earth are unkind, the Demonic Path will destroy Heaven and Earth, all the Void Realm, Reincarnation of life and death, destruction is Rebirth…"
At first, Qin Chuan always thought that this fangling compass was an ancient divine artifact, capable of saving all living beings.
But now, after reading the text inscribed on the compass, he suddenly realized!
The salvation offered by this fangling compass was a brutal demonic power that reduced all living beings to nothingness, thereby achieving a balance in the world!
From this, it seemed that this object must have a profound connection with the ancient Demon Race!
In his previous life, when Qin Chuan acquired the fangling compass, he used his heart's blood to form a contract with it.
This was why, at the critical moment of his Dantian exploding and his death, his Divine Soul was sent by the fangling compass to five thousand years later.
Now, the Secret Technique of this fangling compass was his last resort.
Even if he were to fall into the Demonic Path from now on, it was better than being a good-for-nothing for a lifetime!
What's more, his beloved died for him, so how could he let go of the blood feud and live a humble life?
It was merely a sealing Spirit Soul Secret Technique; how could it extinguish his fighting spirit!
"What if I enter the Demonic Path?"
"If this Heavenly Dao is unjust, I will pierce through this Heaven!"
"If this world is unkind, I will trample this Earth!"
Qin Chuan sneered, the madness in his eyes fully exposed!
Immediately after, he transmitted his Divine Soul into the fangling compass… Boom!
The moment his consciousness touched the fangling compass, an extremely desolate and resonant sound suddenly rang out!
This loud bang carried an ancient pressure, as well as supreme and eerie energy!
In an instant, all the characters on the fangling compass seemed to come alive, rushing into Qin Chuan's mind.
Suddenly!
Qin Chuan's head ached intensely, as if his Divine Sense was about to be forcibly shattered!
"Demons are all things; all things in the world can become demons! Destruction is the Demonic Path; when the Dao is born, so is the demonic heart…"
Profound characters flowed within Qin Chuan's Divine Soul, and some strange changes also occurred within his body.
Bang!
Not long after the characters of the fangling compass flowed, the black seal on his Meridians instantly burst open, completely washed away by the brutal energy within the characters!
One must know that the Nine Li Clan's sealing Spirit Soul Secret Technique required at least the Martial King Realm to perform, yet now, the sealing Spirit Soul Secret Technique was so fragile before the fangling compass. This clearly showed how terrifying the energy within the fangling compass truly was!
As soon as the sealing Spirit Soul Secret Technique dissipated, the fang tian soul returned to his body.
Qin Chuan's eyes snapped open, a sharp gleam shooting out!
After the black seal was broken, the Meridians in his body were unobstructed, and they were even tempered and strengthened by the characters of the fangling compass!
Although Qin Chuan's current Realm was too low, and the energy from the characters he could absorb was very small, at least he could Cultivate normally and was no longer that good-for-nothing boy!
"Great! This fangling compass truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient Demonic Path treasure; its energy is simply too brutal!"
Qin Chuan was secretly ecstatic, "From now on, my Qin Chuan's Dao, I will forge it myself!"
Immediately, Qin Chuan took a deep breath, composed himself, formed a hand seal again, and circulated the Devouring Heaven Skill within his body!
This Devouring Heaven Skill could absorb the Spiritual Qi of all things in Heaven and Earth, powerful and unstoppable!
In a flash, Qin Chuan was like a black hole, drawing all the surrounding Spiritual Qi into his body, which was then digested by his Dantian and entered his Qi and blood!
Afterward, Qin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze brimming with intense excitement!
"I didn't expect that after my Meridians became clear, Cultivation could be so smooth! The first layer of the Devouring Heaven Skill is already fully under control!"
Not only that, but Qin Chuan also realized that this body's Cultivation speed was Heaven-Defying!
In less than half an incense stick of time, one of his Meridians was already filled with Spiritual Qi, which was now transforming into Martial Dao True Qi.
In other words, he was no longer a useless Martial Apprentice; he had already Advanced to Martial Artist!
Although he was only at the first Rank of the Warrior Realm, it was still a great piece of news for Qin Chuan.
On the Jiu Zhou Continent, Martial Dao Cultivation had long been mature, and the division of Realms was a clear demarcation of a Martial Artist's strength.
Among them, there were a total of nine Realms: Martial Apprentice, Martial Artist, Martial Master, Martial Ancestor, Martial Venerable, Martial King, Martial Emperor, and Martial God.
Within these nine major Realms, there were also nine smaller Ranks.
Legend has it that above the Peak of the Martial God Realm, there was also a Martial Dao Saint Realm that transcended the constraints of time!
Unfortunately, over thousands of years on the entire Jiu Zhou Continent, those who could reach the Martial Emperor Realm were few and far between, and the Martial Dao Saint Realm, which surpassed the Martial God Realm, could only be considered an ancient myth.
As for the height a Martial Artist could Cultivate to, aside from their Spirit Soul and opportunities, the most crucial factor was the Secret Technique they Cultivated.
Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques were also divided into nine grades, from divine, sacred, emperor, and royal, down to heaven, earth, mystic, spirit, and yellow.
And each grade was further divided into three Ranks.
The higher the grade and Rank of a Cultivation Technique, the greater a Martial Artist's achievements would be in the Late Stage.
Take Qin Chuan's self-created Devouring Heaven Skill, for example. This was an Emperor Rank treasure; even without his current Prodigy Physique, he could still reach the Peak of Martial Dao and achieve the Martial God Realm in this lifetime!
Of course, if people knew he now possessed such an Advanced Cultivation Technique, it would certainly stir up a bloody storm on the Jiu Zhou Continent.
But Qin Chuan didn't take it to heart; after all, this set of Cultivation Techniques was his own unique creation, and even in front of the strong practitioners of the Blazing Flame Country, they wouldn't be able to detect its energy… "Phew…" Qin Chuan exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi, sighing, "This fangling compass is truly unfathomable. Now I am only at the Warrior Rank. It will probably be extremely difficult to comprehend more of its mysteries."
"Now, the only way is to reach the Martial King Realm as soon as possible. With enough energy, I can then comprehend more profound mysteries…"
In the empty room, Qin Chuan's sigh echoed.
Last night, he stayed up all night, trying to comprehend the characters on the fangling compass.
However, this ancient Demonic Path was profound and abstruse; no matter how he tried to comprehend it, with his current ability, he was simply willing but unable.
Creak—
Just then, the tightly shut door was suddenly pushed open.
It was none other than Qin Yanyu, carrying medicinal food.
"Chuan'er, I'm sorry… Grandpa is in seclusion Cultivating, and Father is guarding the pass. Before he left, he told me to take good care of you, but who knew you would almost be harmed by villains…"
Seeing Qin Chuan's frail appearance, Qin Yanyu felt a pang of sadness, her beautiful eyes clouded with a misty layer.
"Sister, you can't blame yourself for everything. If I hadn't been so useless back then, those villains wouldn't have had the chance."
Perhaps it was due to the original remnant consciousness, which made him feel a special attachment to Qin Yanyu.
However, Qin Chuan was also willing to regard her as his own elder sister.
In his previous life, he was an orphan. Although he reached the Peak of Martial Dao and roamed between Heaven and Earth, he yearned intensely for family affection.
After his Rebirth, his mother's body was weak and she passed away when he was three years old. Since then, Qin Yanyu had been like a sister and a mother to him, caring for him meticulously.
Therefore, it was only natural for him to accept Qin Yanyu from the bottom of his heart.
