I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 9 Contact with a trace of Devouring Law

Compared with humans, all beasts are born ignorant, and cultivation can only rely on instinct, inhaling the essence of the sun and the moon, etc. to improve cultivation. When cultivation reaches a certain level, they will become wise and gradually possess or even surpass human wisdom.

And some people with unique bloodlines can obtain cultivation techniques from their bloodlines and awaken their bloodline magical powers.

For example, the Five Elements True Escape and the surge of power that Zhang Yuan comprehended before are the magical powers of the blood of the colorful snake dragon and the yellow-haired lion.

However, demon clans with bloodline are only rare. Most demon clans have no bloodline inheritance and can only rely on instinct to practice.

In addition to storing a large number of genius, earthly treasures, magic weapons and elixirs, the Shituo Secret Treasury also has a large number of techniques.

These techniques were left behind by the ancestors of the demon clan and are very suitable for the demon clan’s practice.

However, the quality is uneven, and some can only cultivate to second-level monsters.

It is said that the green-haired lion monster has the skills to practice to become a demon saint, but this is still too far away for Zhang Yuan now.

"stop!"

There were still more than three feet away from the secret library, and a three-foot-tall elephant demon stopped loudly.

"This is an important place in Shituoling. You are not allowed to approach it without orders!"

Zhang Yuan took out the token given by the green-haired lion monster and handed it over, "I have been rewarded by the great king. I can enter the secret vault and choose any technique at will."

This elephant demon is a descendant of the old yellow-tusked elephant. He knew Zhang Yuan. When he saw that he had a token and verified his identity, he motioned to his subordinates to open the door.

"Turn right and walk forward, that's where the technique is."

"Thank you very much!"

After saying a few words of thanks, Zhang Yuan walked into the secret warehouse.

In the secret warehouse, there are many monsters with advanced cultivation levels who are moving and sorting them. In many places, there are even the auras of seventh-level monsters.

This is one of the most important places in Shituoling. Zhang Yuan is very sure that there are definitely big demons guarding them in the dark, but he doesn’t know how many there are.

Following the Xiang Yao's guidance, Zhang Yuan turned right and walked along the torches on the wall for a short distance before he saw a pile of skeletons.

On the shelves made of these bones, there are many strange things placed, including bone fragments, animal skins, jade slips, etc.

"Boy, these are items that record the demon clan's skills. Take your time and find them yourself!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan took a closer look and discovered that there was an old monster lying on a stone chair in the corner.

The monster clan is an aggregated group, and its subdivisions are countless. The techniques in the secret library are left by some monster seniors, and most of them have limitations. Only certain clans and types of monsters can practice them.

Therefore, the skills rewarded by Shituoling are all of his own choice.

Zhang Yuan came to a skeleton, picked up a bone fragment and began to examine it.

The practice requirements are indicated at the beginning of these exercises. If you feel that you meet the requirements, you can continue to read part of them. After determining the goal, you can find the guarding monster to unlock the restrictions and obtain the entire exercise.

As soon as he looked into it with his spiritual mind, the information on it was clear. Before long, Zhang Yuan had read most of the techniques.

"I am a dragon-lion insect, and insects are weak, so the exercise I choose should be between dragon and lion. Considering that my soul is the fusion of human soul and Xiao Zuanfeng's soul, the human exercise is You can also practice.”

Xiao Zhuanfeng also had a skill before, but that skill had a low upper limit and low power, so Zhang Yuan naturally looked down on it.

Not long after, Zhang Yuan selected four exercises.

One is the "Swallowing the Sky and the Earth", left by the green-haired lion monster; the other is "The Lingya Suppressing the World", left by the old elephant with yellow teeth.

These two volumes can only be practiced to the seventh level. As for the subsequent skills, they need to be obtained from the green-haired lion monster or the yellow-tusked old elephant. There are two volumes left, which were snatched from the human monks. One is about practice skills and the other is about swordsmanship, but they are both fragments.

Although the Golden Winged Dapeng Eagle also left a volume of skills, Zhang Yuan did not consider it.

Firstly, the symbolic nature does not match. Although Zhang Yuan also has wings, one is an insect and the other is an eagle. Secondly, the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle is a member of Buddhism. Zhang Yuan is afraid of being converted in the future and becomes the mount of bald donkeys.

As for the green-haired lion monster and the yellow-tusked old elephant, although Sun Wukong later invited Manjushri and Samantabhadra to surrender, Zhang Yuan knew that these two monsters were members of the Jiejiao sect, named Qiu. The First Immortal and the Lingya Immortal were defeated in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation during the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and were reduced to mounts by Manjusri and Samantabhadra while they were in danger.

Their skills can still be practiced at present.

"Explain the teaching, Buddhism" Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart.

"Boy, have you made your choice?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan picked up a piece of animal skin in front of him and said: "I have made my choice, I want this "Swallowing Heaven and Earth"!"

The old monster waved his hand, and the restrictions on the animal skin were instantly lifted.

Zhang Yuan quickly put it on his forehead, and soon, the secret of the skill from the little demon to the seventh level was engraved in Zhang Yuan's heart.

[You watch "Swallowing the Sky and the Earth", recalling the demeanor of the Qiu Shou Immortal during the Conferred God Period, and the legend of the Lion and Camel King swallowing a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers in one gulp, and you feel admiration in your heart. 】

【伱 resonates with the "Swallowing the Sky and the Earth". With the blessing of heaven-defying understanding, you have understood a hint of the meaning of swallowing the sky. Your ability to digest the flesh and blood of pills has improved, and you can achieve better results. You can absorb spiritual energy and recover faster. state. 】

[You have vaguely come into contact with a trace of the power of the Devouring Law! 】

"Swallowing the will of heaven? Devouring the law?"

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed.

Unexpectedly, I just took a skill and came into contact with a trace of the power of law. It seems that this gift from heaven must have a big purpose!
  After all, pie doesn’t fall out of the sky for no reason!
  But he is just a little monster now. No matter what Heaven’s plans are, we will talk about it later!

"Thank you, senior. I'll take my leave."

After putting down the animal skin in his hand, Zhang Yuan walked out of the lion camel cave.

At this time, the other seventeen little drill winds already knew that Zhang Yuan was promoted to the chief drill wind, and they were all waiting outside the cave.

When they saw Zhang Yuan coming out of the secret warehouse, they all came up to greet him with envious expressions.

Zhang Yuan took a posture and just nodded towards everyone without responding with words.

He had a deep impression of this posture in his previous life.

After leaving the secret treasury and returning to his residence, he saw hundreds of monsters playing nearby waiting to be received.

Seeing Zhang Yuan, hundreds of monsters, led by the leader, gathered one after another and said in unison: "I've seen Mr. Zuofeng!"

The Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle established a demon kingdom in the Shituo Kingdom and became the emperor. Not to be outdone, the green-haired lion monster and the yellow-tusked old elephant trained tens of thousands of monsters in Shituoling into an army.

Therefore, if you take it seriously, the monsters on Shituoling still look like soldiers in the army.

Looking at these serious monsters in front of him, Zhang Yuan said: "Now that I have been promoted to the chief drill, there is one missing for the position of junior drill. After a while, I will promote one of you and be elected as the eighteenth. You little diamond! During this period of time, I will be practicing in seclusion. You should act as before and wait for me to come out of seclusion before selecting me!"

After some encouragement, Zhang Yuan returned to his residence.

Now that we have the technique and three drops of fourth-level monster true blood, it’s time to solve our own problems!
