Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

“What dogshit trial, this bastard just wants me to do his work for him!”

Shen Lin cursed as he walked through the dense forest, the Cirrus Cloud Saber, coveted by countless martial artists, now used as a firewood chopper, constantly cutting through the vines blocking his path.

Gao Shenghan's assessment had only two parts.

First, to completely eliminate the largest demon den in Qiulin County, the Black Wind Fortress.

According to him, the new leader of the Black Wind Fortress had been severely injured by him, his strength reduced to less than 10%. With Shen Lin's Twelfth Meridian Innate strength, it shouldn't be too difficult.

The second task was to get rid of Lin Youwei, the magistrate of Qiulin County.

As a spy for the Myriad Demon Kingdom, he should theoretically possess extraordinary strength.

However, the Chameleon Clan's abilities were all in disguise and they were not skilled in combat, so Shen Lin should be able to deal with him.

When he said this, Gao Shenghan's eyes flickered, obviously not entirely confident that Shen Lin could defeat the opponent.

Fortunately, he added at the end, saying: "If things get out of hand, I will step in, so you can act without worry."

Looking at his drunken appearance, Shen Lin, despite being somewhat skeptical of this guy's reliability, still agreed in order to join the Demon Suppression Division.

Now, he was in the Qiulin Mountains, heading towards the Black Wind Fortress.

He had previously obtained the location of the Black Wind Fortress from a wolf demon, so he didn't need to go to great lengths to search for it.

After a while, Shen Lin finally emerged from the dense forest and saw a huge waterfall.

On the flat ground not far from the waterfall, a mountain fortress came into Shen Lin's view.

The perimeter was walled with giant trees, with scattered demons chatting on top.

Below the wooden wall hung dozens of rattan cages, half empty and the other half holding humans.

Tall and short, fat and thin, men, women, old, and young were all there.

“Demon Saint Grandpa, I'm a businessman, very rich. If you let me go, I'll buy a dozen… no! Hundreds of lowlifes and send them to you, okay? Please, let me go!”

“You audacious demons! I am from the Yu family of the Prefecture! Release me immediately! Otherwise, when my family's protectors arrive, your entire fortress won't have a single survivor!”

Among the humans, some begged, some scolded, but the demons on the wooden wall completely ignored them.

“It's so annoying, these guys are yelling every day, I really wish I could eat them right now!”

“Dare you? The Chief said that the situation down the mountain is not right recently, so we have to save these rations!”

“The situation is not right?” A small demon snorted, looked around, and whispered: “Yesterday I saw the Second Chief taking his two brothers down the mountain, probably to go hunting for fresh meat.”

“Don't talk nonsense! Maybe the Chief sent them to do something? Recently, Sun Zhi from the County Office has been jumping around, killing many of our kind.”

“Sun Zhi?” The small demon snorted and sneered: “I know that guy, he's just someone who made some achievements by selling out his own kind. Does he really think he can kill Wolf Eight and the Third Chief's brothers? It's just that the one in the County Office isn't satisfied with our current leader's style and is giving us a warning!”

Shen Lin could still clearly hear their conversation even from a hundred meters away.

However, he didn't rush to kill them, but retreated back into the dense forest, found a place to sit down, and began to meditate.

Although Gao Shenghan said that with his strength he could sweep through this fortress, it was better to be cautious.

With his mind immersed, Shen Lin saw his attribute panel in the depths of his consciousness.

【Shen Lin】

【Mastered Martial Arts: Eight Directions Shadow Severing Saber (Perfect), Gale Swordplay (Perfect), Green Hill Body Tempering Art (Perfect), Mountain Tilting Fist (Perfect), Cloud Radiance Swordplay (Beginner), Eagle Claw Skill (Great Accomplishment).】

【Mastered Cultivation Method: Violet Haze Profound Force】

【Remaining Lifespan: Fifty-one years】

【Demonic Lifespan: Three hundred and seventy-four years】

【Talents: Fist Technique Proficiency (Novice), Saber Technique Proficiency (Novice)】

After killing the three bear demons and Li Shiye at the post station, Shen Lin had gained another three hundred and seventy-four years of demonic lifespan.

And now, he was about to begin his first deduction after reaching the Innate Realm.

“System, begin deduction!”

“Cultivation Method! Violet Haze Profound Force!”

Shen Lin actually had many choices now.

In terms of martial arts, the Cloud Radiance Swordplay, an entry-level martial art, was only at the beginner stage.

But even so, its power was fully revealed in the previous battle against Li Shiye.

If Shen Lin hadn't wanted to try the power of the Eight Directions Shadow Severing Saber at the time, that one sword alone could have killed the opponent.

In addition, the Innate Realm portion of the Eagle Claw Skill had not yet been deduced.

But this time, Shen Lin chose to deduce the cultivation method.

Cultivation methods, unlike martial arts, do not have related moves or techniques.

It is a method of cultivating the spiritual energy within the body. Only martial artists who have reached the Innate Realm can cultivate cultivation methods to change the nature of their spiritual energy and give it various unique effects.

According to Zijing, this Violet Haze Profound Force was a rare cultivation method even in the Imperial Capital.

Shen Lin had been envious of it for a long time, but because he hadn't broken through to the Innate Realm, he hadn't been able to deduce it.

And now, he had finally broken through to the Innate Realm and had enough demonic lifespan, it was time to start cultivating.

As he pondered, Shen Lin's consciousness gradually became blurred, and the sounds of insects and wind outside gradually stopped.

On the system panel, rows of letters began to jump.

【Year 1, you begin to comprehend the Violet Haze Profound Force and begin to cultivate the cultivation method. However, the cultivation method is profound, and you cannot understand it. You can only mechanically circulate the spiritual energy in your body, flowing through the specific eight meridians.】

【Year 15, with a thought, you suddenly have a sense of understanding. Among the majestic spiritual energy in your body, a wisp finally transforms into violet force. Unlike other spiritual energy, this wisp of violet force is thick and solid, giving you a heavy feeling. You have mastered the trick and begin to transform the spiritual energy in your body.】

【Year 45, you finally transform all the spiritual energy in one meridian into Violet Haze Profound Force. Feeling proud, you try to unleash a sword with the Violet Haze Profound Force.

This sword is incredibly powerful, almost comparable to the Eight Directions Shadow Severing Saber you previously unleashed by squandering all the spiritual energy in your body.

After seeing the powerful power of the Violet Haze Profound Force, you begin to cultivate even more diligently.】

【Year 362, as the last trace of spiritual energy in your body transforms into Violet Haze Profound Force, you finally completely master this cultivation method.

In the thirteen meridians in your body, the deep violet force constantly flows, like a river, bringing waves of powerful power to all parts of your body.】

【Year 374, after all the spiritual energy in your body is transformed into Violet Haze Profound Force, you are still unsatisfied. Following the requirements of the cultivation method, you continue to cultivate, trying to condense the Violet Haze Profound Force into liquid and break through to the Treasure Liquid Realm. But due to limited talent, you ultimately gain nothing.】

【Deduction complete!】

Violet Haze Profound Force, Minor Success!
