The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Qing's cultivation has now reached the critical point of the middle stage of the fourth stage, and he is only one step away from a breakthrough.

Not only that, after a period of in-depth study and understanding of the Heart Demon Cultivation Technique, he finally cultivated the fourth level.

At this moment, in a newly opened secret room deep in the cave, Li Qing was sitting quietly on a bluestone.

In front of him was a crystal clear jade pot, from which came bursts of noisy sounds:

"Young man, I didn't expect that after all these years, you are still alive!"

"I don't need anything, as long as you can lead me into the secret realm of the blood sea."

"I secretly opened up many secret caves in the past, which contain many precious spiritual objects. I can give them to you as rewards."

"There is even a great opportunity to help you advance to the fifth level..."

However, no matter how the voice in the jade pot shouted and bewitched, Li Qing remained unmoved and closed his eyes to rest as if he had not heard it.

I don’t know how much time has passed, Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He slowly raised his right hand, gently stroking the jade pot in his hand, and whispered: "Blood Demon, Blood Demon, do you think I am still the same as before?"

"Blood demon? Junior, you..."

Before the Blood Demon could finish his words, a light spot suddenly appeared in Li Qing's palm, which was visible only to him and flashing with a deep light.

As the light jumped out from his palm and went straight through the jade pot, a shrill scream immediately came from inside the jade pot.

The voice that was originally arrogant and noisy gradually became weak and powerless.

However, at this moment, the emotions he exuded were extremely high.

"Demon species? Hahahaha..."

"Boy, you are not far from death!"

When the Blood Demon's voice, as weak as that of a dying person, rang out, an extremely violent force instantly gushed out from the jade pot.

"Self-destruction?"

Li Qing was very familiar with this kind of aura fluctuation, but his expression did not change at all and he remained very calm.

A green cyclone suddenly emerged and enveloped the entire jade pot.

In an instant, the terrifying aura seemed to be cast under a spell and completely stopped. In the blink of an eye, everything disappeared without a trace.

However, all that was left in front of Li Qing was a broken jade pot and the blood demon aura that gradually dissipated within it.

Although the Unstable Wind Wave can dissolve the violent energy generated by the self-explosion, and suppress the Blood Demon's body and the flow of magic power, it cannot prevent the Blood Demon from dispersing his soul.

Although the Blood Demon is dead, the current situation makes Li Qing extremely solemn.

It seemed that he had really practiced some extraordinary secret technique.

Just after the demon was planted, because the blood demon was at the same level as him, and even though he had been suppressed for so many years and his cultivation had regressed, his soul was still strong, making it difficult for him to be infected by the demon in an instant.

This also gave the Blood Demon an opportunity to self-destruct, but he also glimpsed the countless thoughts in the Blood Demon's mind, and at that time, all the thoughts that emerged in the Blood Demon's mind were all about the various information about the inner demon's path.

The secret art of the Heart Demon Cultivation Technique actually came from an alien demon - the Heart Devouring Demon.

This soul secret technique is a trap!

No matter whether they are the demon race or the human race practicing this secret technique, they are all slowly refining their own souls into the incarnation of some powerful heart-eating demon, as if a demon seed has been planted in them.

As long as one practices, even if the practice is not deep, once they ascend, they will definitely be led to the side of the Heart-Eating Demon and become one of its incarnations.

Moreover, once you start practicing this secret method, you will be unable to get rid of it, just like a poisonous sore that penetrates deep into your bone marrow.

Every time you use your skills to plant the demon seed, the imprint of the skills will be further deepened.

If the situation is serious, the Heart-Eating Demon will be able to sense oneself and even read one's thoughts.

It's like being planted with the devil's seed and gradually becoming infected by it.

Eventually, the imprint of the technique will actively lead the host's lifelong cultivation and soul back to the body!

All this news about the inner demon made Li Qing feel creepy and his spine went cold.

The Blood Demon has been sealed in the Jade Pot and has lived in difficulty for so many years, but he has never given up his desire for freedom.

However, now, because of the demon seed planted by Li Qing, the Blood Demon chose to self-destruct without hesitation before being completely contaminated by the demon.

All of these prove the authenticity of the Blood Demon's thoughts.

Li Qing was upset and confused at the moment, and he had no idea how to deal with what was happening before his eyes.

This Heart-Eating Demon actually dared to do such a thing, so his cultivation level must have exceeded the scope of what this world can imagine.

According to Li Qing's inference, people who can successfully ascend to the upper realm usually need to reach the fifth level of cultivation.

Because only this level of strength can resist the erosion of the power of the void and successfully ascend to the upper realm through the ascension platform.

From this, we can further infer that if the Heart Devouring Demon dares to attack the Ascendants, then his own cultivation must be at least at the sixth level, or even above the seventh level.

After some effort, Li Qing finally forced himself to calm down.

But the only solution he could think of at this moment was to get rid of the heart-eating demon that caused all these troubles and put an end to it once and for all.

However, this has put the entire incident into an unsolvable vicious circle.

In the lower realm, due to the limitations of the Tao, he could only cultivate to the sixth level at best.

Once he breaks through to the sixth level, the Heavenly Dao will immediately open the Heavenly Gate, also known as the ascension channel, and teleport him directly to the upper realm.

But when he ascended to the upper realm, what was waiting for him was the claws of the Heart-Eating Demon.

Since the Heart-Eating Demon dared to act in this way, it meant that its cultivation must be far higher than the sixth level. Therefore, even if Li Qing succeeded in ascending, he would still not be able to escape the fate of death in the end.

It was too difficult to directly solve the problem of the person who asked the question, and if he had to deal with the problem of the martial arts method, he would be even more troubled.

Once you practice this secret method, it is like being possessed by a demon and it is difficult to get rid of it.

He is a demon who has only lived for more than a hundred years and has not even created any martial arts. How can he find a solution through martial arts?

Everything was apparently going in the right direction, but now he suddenly heard this bad news. Li Qing's mood has fallen to the bottom.

But he was also grateful to the Blood Demon. If it weren't for him, Li Qing might have continued to practice this technique until he ascended, and eventually either became the incarnation of the Heart-Eating Demon or directly became nutrients.
