Tai Sui's action confused me. I followed his line of sight, but there was only darkness. I couldn't see anything.
I asked again, but Tai Sui shook his head as if he didn't want to talk about it. He shook his head and told me that he didn't know where he was going. He ran out of the city and ended up in Thailand. That was how he managed to avoid that man's pursuit.
At that time, he was severely wounded. He found a place to recuperate and stayed in the Jade Buddha Temple.
As for his conversation with the Jade Buddha Temple's abbot, I've heard it from Shiva.
This time, when I listened to his story, it wasn't too different.
However, I was interested in what he mentioned later.
He said that the Haotian Pagoda had existed before he came here. The abbot didn't know its origin.
He just told him that the pagoda could isolate all auras. As long as he hid in the pagoda, no one could find him.
At that time, Tai Sui was afraid and worried. When he heard that, he was overjoyed and stayed in the Clear Heaven Pagoda.
However, the Jade Buddha Temple's abbot was greedy for his power. He asked Tai Sui to teach the monks of the Jade Buddha Temple their techniques. Under such circumstances, Tai Sui agreed without thinking.
In the beginning, when the monks of the Jade Buddha Temple entered the Haotian Pagoda, Tai Sui would spare no effort to teach them. However, as time went by, the origin of the witch energy disappeared, and Tai Sui's power weakened. Usually, he didn't have any witch energy to supply. Only when the four stars appeared could he get some replenishment.
The Jade Buddha Temple became bigger and bigger with more monks. As time went by, Tai Sui's witch energy was drained. Later on, he didn't want to give his power to the monks of the Jade Buddha Temple anymore.
At that time, the Jade Buddha Temple had a lot of Long Pu and Zhao Kun cultivators. After the high-level monks had a secret plan, they decided to enter the Haotian Pagoda to kill Tai Sui and take his witch energy.
The crisis ended because those monks underestimated Tai Sui's power. After that, Tai Sui sent out an order. He wanted the Jade Buddha Temple's warriors who had reached the Dragon Universal Realm to enter the pagoda to cultivate with him. At the same time, Tai Sui guaranteed the safety of the Jade Buddha Temple.
At that time, the low-level monks of the Jade Buddha Temple didn't know what had happened. They just saw their grandmasters staying in the pagoda and didn't come out, so they agreed to it. This rule was passed down from generation to generation.
As for Tai Sui, it devoured the Jade Buddha Temple monks that entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda and gradually recovered from its injuries, all the way until today.
When I saw those skeletons just now, I just speculated that those Longpu had become Tai Sui's food, but I didn't expect that there were so many secrets.
After listening to the Tai Sui's detailed explanation, he finally understood.
I didn't doubt Tai Sui's method, but I felt that the monks of the Jade Buddha Temple were a little strange. After so many years, the Long Pu who had come here hadn't shown up again. Didn't they suspect something?
Of course, what they think has nothing to do with me. The most important thing right now is to borrow the power of Tai Sui to advance to the Yang God Celestial Master.
As for how to advance, I already know in my heart. It's to devour this Tai Sui.
After the devouring, the Tai Sui disappeared. I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, but the Tai Sui didn't care. Instead, he took the initiative to ask me if I had a devouring technique. If I did, I could use a spell to help him.
The art of devouring … I immediately thought of the Sky Devouring Art. According to the records in the Death Scripture, if this art was cultivated to completion, one could devour the heavens.
This meant that it was completely possible to devour the Tai Sui with this art.
However, the problem was that I hadn't obtained the second volume of the Death Scripture for a long time. During this time, I had only cultivated the Sky Devouring Art to the initial stage. I was still far from the realm where I could devour the Tai Sui.
After I explained the situation, the Tai Sui shook his head. He said that if I didn't have a devouring technique, he could only forcefully transfer his power into my body. However, this was dangerous and time-consuming. It would take at least a few years for me to completely absorb it.
I naturally didn't want to stay here for a few years. Moreover, there were many things to do in the country. Not to mention anything else, I wouldn't be allowed to disappear for a few years on the other side.
With this thought in mind, I couldn't help but feel anxious. I couldn't help but take out the second volume of the Death Scripture. I found the place where the Sky Devouring Art was recorded and read it several times.
I really wanted to see some shortcut in it, but it was obvious that shortcuts were just wishful thinking, especially on the path of cultivation.
However, I definitely wouldn't be willing to give up just like that.
After thinking about it, it was better to stay here for the time being and continue cultivating the Sky Devouring Art.
The witchcraft aura here was abundant, which was greatly beneficial to cultivation.
Although the Sky Devouring Art didn't have a shortcut, it wouldn't take a few years.
Having made up my mind, I didn't hesitate anymore. After informing the Tai Sui, I immediately put away the Death Scripture and closed my eyes to cultivate the Sky Devouring Art.
The first layer of the Sky Devouring Art was to absorb the energy of the opponent's attacks through the skin.
The second layer was similar to the Sword Devouring Art that Little Ah Mo's master, the old Daoist Huang Zhu, had imparted to me.
This layer seemed to be in preparation for devouring.
When I first saw this technique, I felt that it was somewhat evil.
However, after putting it into practice, especially after the battle with Old Man Yuan, I changed my previous thoughts.
In reality, with my current cultivation, everything is a Great Dao. In terms of techniques, there was no longer any distinction between good and evil.
It was impossible to cultivate the second layer on my own. Since there was no one else in the Clear Sky Pagoda, I could only ask for Tai Sui's help.
Of course, he wouldn't refuse my request. After listening to my detailed explanation, he spat out a mass of air that was wrapped in shamanic aura towards me. I didn't dare to be negligent and hastily operated the Sky Devouring Art. I suddenly opened my mouth and swallowed the mass of air.
That was far from enough. As I circulated the Sky Devouring Art, I also used the devouring technique that Zhang Kanwen had imparted to me to digest the witchcraft aura.
In less than a few seconds, the witchcraft aura fused into the veins of the sky and became energy that I could use.
At that moment, I was elated. It seemed that the second layer was beginning to bear fruit. I had to be more familiar with it to cultivate to the third layer.
Time passed in the pagoda. I didn't know how much time had passed, but I finally cultivated the second layer to the extreme.
However, I wasn't in a hurry to look at the third layer. Haste makes waste. If I were to rush to the next step, it would be very difficult to comprehend it.
As such, I calmed myself down and stabilized the previous two layers. If I could comprehend something from them, the next layer would naturally come naturally.
Thus, I calmed myself down and leaned against the wall of the Clear Sky Pagoda to meditate.
In the blink of an eye, I didn't know how much time had passed. When I opened my eyes, I already had a vague understanding of the third layer of the Sky Devouring Art.
Only then did I take out the second volume of the Death Scripture. After flipping through the third layer of the cultivation method, I verified it with what I had obtained in my heart. I finally understood and everything became clear.
After completely comprehending the Sky Devouring Art, there was no need for me to delay any longer. After circulating the cultivation method once, I stood up and asked Tai Sui, "Are you ready?"
He had been waiting for this moment for thousands of years. He appeared to be even more impatient than I was. After hearing my question, he nodded abruptly. He didn't have the slightest bit of sorrow for having to sacrifice himself.
To be honest, I only roughly knew the story behind this. However, looking at Tai Sui at that moment, I couldn't help but feel an indescribable heaviness in my heart.
I opened my mouth but couldn't say anything. After a while, I could only cup my hands at him and close my eyes to circulate the Sky Devouring Art.
As I circulated the cultivation method, I felt my body become light after a few seconds, and I slowly floated into the air.
Then, under my control, the aura in my body flowed backward as if it wanted to burst every pore in my body.
This tearing feeling wasn't any less painful than when my cultivation had been destroyed.
Fortunately, the pain came suddenly and left quickly.
After a while, the feeling disappeared, and I returned to my previous state.
This comfortable feeling didn't last long. Soon, the aura flowing backward from my body turned into several ropes that flew toward Tai Sui, entangling its neck and limbs.
After a while, Tai Sui's face contorted as if it was suffering from indescribable torture.
The ropes became tighter and tighter, as if they were about to split Tai Sui into several pieces. During this process, the ropes constantly emitted witchcraft aura that enveloped Tai Sui. The witchcraft aura became denser and denser. In the end, Tai Sui was completely wrapped up like a cocoon.
I could sense that Tai Sui's aura had completely disappeared at this moment.
With my cultivation alone, I couldn't summon so much witchcraft aura. It was obvious that most of the witchcraft aura was forced out of Tai Sui's body.
Then, the witchcraft aura kept spinning, and the witchcraft aura in it became denser and denser.
When the spinning speed was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly, it suddenly flew up and hit my body.
I couldn't bear the violent impact. My eyes rolled up and I passed out.
Before I passed out, I vaguely saw Tai Sui's shadow in my Life Palace.
He suddenly appeared there and swallowed my three souls. Then, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Above his head, the Black and White Celestial Master Seal was floating there, spinning constantly.
When I woke up again, I didn't know how much time had passed. I felt as if I was soaking in a hot spring, which was indescribably comfortable and warm.
Recalling what had happened before, I immediately sat up and looked inside my Life Palace.
Just as I had seen before, Tai Sui's figure was still in his Life Palace. The three souls were nowhere to be seen, and the seal above his head had also disappeared.
However, I could clearly feel the aura of the three souls in Tai Sui's body.
Previously, I had heard Nangong say that the Yang God Celestial Master of the Wu Tribe used Tai Sui as his Yang God. It should be like this.
I had also heard Yan Nantian mention the matter of the three souls fusing with the seal. He said that the Yang God was formed by the gathering of the three souls in the seal.
Judging from my current state, I had obviously advanced to the Yang God Celestial Master level. However, it was different from the Yang God of the Wu Tribe and the Dao Qi Yang God. My Yang God was formed by Tai Sui devouring the three souls. The Dao Qi and witchcraft aura had merged into one. Compared to others, it was naturally far better.
Not to mention the joy in my heart, I spent a few minutes calming down and tried to summon the Yang God.
However, since I had just advanced, my realm was far from stable. After the Yang God that looked like Tai Sui appeared above my head, it only lasted for a few seconds. Then, I felt that my cultivation was instantly sucked out, and I couldn't hold on any longer.
Even so, in just a few seconds, I felt a God-like power. Although I was sitting cross-legged on the ground, in my consciousness, I felt as if I was standing on the dome, overlooking all living beings under my feet.
This should be the power of the Yang God.
Of course, there were still many mysteries of the Yang God, but I couldn't hold on for too long. I could only slowly explore it later.
Now that the matter was over, I planned to leave immediately.
However, after I got up, I recalled the conflict between me and the monks of Jinshan Temple and thought for a while.
Jinshan Temple's Long Pu had been injured by me, so I didn't think he would let it go.
My realm was not stable at the moment. If I went out now and met Jinshan Temple's Long Pu or even Zhao Kun, I was afraid that it would be difficult for me to deal with them.
Thinking of this, I gave up the idea of leaving the tower and sat down again.
After devouring Tai Sui, my cultivation was raised to the Yang God level. A part of Tai Sui's majestic witchcraft aura was also left in my Heaven Veins. At this time, I could take advantage of the opportunity to consolidate my cultivation and refine it.
In this way, I could also raise my cultivation to the early stage of the Yang God level. In this way, I could completely stabilize my cultivation.
Soon, the witchcraft aura had circulated dozens of times in my body, and my cultivation had finally stabilized at the early stage of the Yang God Celestial Master level.
