From Godhood to the Heavens
Chapter 28 Failure to Obtain Cultivation Technique
King Yellow Eyebrows paused for a moment, then his previously aggrieved and disheveled appearance slowly disappeared, and he became calm.
He lowered his head and took a bite of the roast chicken in his hand, his icy voice conveying: "You really do have ill intentions!"
Fang Ping laughed and said, "Pretending like this must be tiring!"
"Oh, when did you figure out I was pretending!"
Fang Ping shook his head and chuckled, saying, "To be honest, no, but it's a bit abnormal for a great demon who has lived for hundreds of years to be crying like this!"
In short, the Yellow-Eyebrowed King's acting went a bit overboard. He was certainly wronged, helpless, and confused, but his constant wailing out of fear, and the repetitive "you're a good person" attitude, was a bit abnormal.
To evade the issue and talk about other things is completely inconsistent with the character in the drama.
Clearly, at this point, he wasn't as human as he was later when his demonic nature outweighed his humanity. His inherent cunning and wildness had given him a disguise.
"What's your relationship with that Lu Xiaoqian? Is that silly girl in your hands?"
"I don't know her, and Silly Girl isn't in my hands right now, but that doesn't matter. I know where Silly Girl is, and I can get her anytime!"
I have no ill intentions towards you. On the contrary, if you'd like, I could even help you deal with Sun Wukong. And I can even give you a silly girl!
The Yellow-Eyebrowed King looked astonished, then asked, "What do you want?"
"I want your cultivation techniques, and your magical abilities!"
King Yellow Eyebrows was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, as if he had heard some absurd joke, and the wariness in his eyes faded considerably.
"Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to cultivate it. I advise you not to waste your time on this!"
The first type of human is different from demons. Our cultivation method is inherited from our bloodline and emphasizes spiritual communication, enlightenment, condensation of the elixir, and transformation.
They absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and their supernatural abilities are ingrained in their very bones. There are no techniques involved, so how could I possibly teach them to you?
Our constitutions are different, so how could we possibly learn demonic techniques?
Secondly, this world simply does not have the conditions for cultivation. Although there is the sun and moon, their essence has long since disappeared. Since I was brought here by the silly girl, I have not seen a single mountain spirit or monster, not even a mountain god or local deity.
This is the mortal world, devoid of even a trace of spiritual energy. We can't even mobilize the power of heaven and earth, let alone absorb it. I advise you to just give up on this idea!
King Yellow Eyebrows laughed heartily, his eyes full of mockery, which he made no attempt to hide. Fang Ping could tell that he wasn't lying, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"This era has no spiritual energy, but your era must have had it, or even earlier!"
"I can't learn demonic techniques, but surely there are cultivation techniques for humans. What if I went to your era to become your disciple?"
King Yellow Eyebrows' expression stiffened slightly, revealing a thoughtful look. His smile slowly faded, and he still said, "It's useless. True cultivators don't easily accept disciples. Their rules are harsh and complicated. Even if you join their sect, you may not be able to obtain the true teachings."
Fang Ping nodded. He couldn't afford to spend too much time on finding a master, mainly because, judging from their performance, the cultivators in this world were far too weak to be worth expending too much effort on.
Any futuristic smartphone could go toe-to-toe with Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King, and a single elixir that grants ten thousand years of life could command a powerful demon like the Yellow-Eyebrowed King to serve its purposes.
It's really too weak. There are many ways to make the main body stronger, and there's no need to get stuck on this one.
Therefore, Fang Ping did not mind using this to test King Huangmei. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Alright, none of this matters. So, would you be willing to teach me what you know?"
In return, I will show you this world, including your own. And if you wish, I can send you back 1300 years.
King Yellow Eyebrows' eyes flickered, and he was already hesitating whether to agree to the other party's conditions.
After a while, Fang Ping's voice continued, tinged with seduction: "Don't you want to know whether you actually ate Tang Sanzang's flesh or not, and what happened afterward?"
King Huang ignored him and said, “Cultivation methods are not actually valuable. All 500 of my disciples have cultivation methods passed down from me.”
"I can teach you, and I don't need any of what you're saying. Just give me the silly girl and send me back to Little Western Paradise, and I don't care about anything else!"
Fang Ping smiled and said steadily, "Okay, it's a deal."
She's just a silly girl. What's the big deal if we just copy a few more?
Other things can be obtained through trickery, deception, theft, coercion, enticement, and robbery, but they are ultimately tangible things. However, it is best not to leave too many hidden dangers in one's cultivation techniques.
"I can teach you the technique first, but you definitely won't be able to learn it. Are you sure you still want it?" King Huangmei's face was full of conflict. He was a little afraid that after Fang Ping's experiment, he would indeed be unable to cultivate it, which would implicate him instead.
"You can't just blame me later and then back out!"
Fang Ping shook his head. He hadn't expected it to be so simple and smooth; it was almost beyond his imagination.
Even the worst possible strategy wasn't used at all. Why fight and kill when problems can be solved with civilization?
"Absolutely not, you can rest assured about that!" Fang Ping said solemnly, "In any case, the conditions I mentioned above still stand!"
"Alright!" King Yellow Eyebrows nodded, then extended a finger and pointed it at Fang Ping's head.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and the finger rapidly grew larger before my eyes, as fast as lightning, appearing in front of me in the blink of an eye.
Then a stream of light bloomed at his fingertips, and the next moment, a complex flow of information entered his mind.
In an instant, Fang Ping felt as if he had experienced the life of the Great King Huangmei, starting as a weasel, accidentally consuming a spiritual herb, awakening his intelligence, and then cultivating by worshipping the moon, gradually becoming a great demon.
After a long while, Fang Ping slowly came to his senses, exhaled, and realized that what the King of Huangmei said was not wrong.
These memories contain no so-called cultivation techniques; they are almost all automatically awakened within the bloodline, relying entirely on instinct.
Although they were all memories of cultivation, they were still incredibly complex, almost longer than Fang Ping's entire life. However, they were all shockingly simple: either he devoured various herbs, ferocious beasts, and monsters, or he absorbed the essence of the sun and moon.
Every step of his cultivation journey was completely different from what Fang Ping had imagined. It could be said that his idea of obtaining cultivation techniques from the Yellow-Eyebrowed King had been shattered.
