Chapter 157.1

Yue Country had lots of bodies of water while Zheng Country contained lots of mountains . However, Zheng Country experienced the most battles . The country was in chaos and graves could be seen everywhere .



In this country, cultivators of the devil path almost overwhelmed those from righteous path . Furthermore, fights were ceaselessly occurring among the devil cultivators .

From the voyage ship, it was not strange to see ruins that used to be owned by some sects . The only thing that made Ning Fan sighed depressingly was the sight of countless graves without tombstones within the beautiful scenery of green mountains, clear water and vast grasslands .

Zheng Country was already in a mess before, but the demons causing trouble in the country worsened the situation . Many of the country’s cultivators died from all the chaos in it . However, there would always be somebody to dig their graves and bury them inside .

That was the tradition of the cultivators in Zheng Country . If someone saw a dead cultivator, one would bury them in a proper grave as long as one had the capability . They might not be able to protect the lives of others but they would definitely protect the bodies of those who had passed away .

Yin Suqiu disliked the atmosphere in Zheng Country . She detested the scenes of endless fighting in this country . But Ning Fan’s gaze was always fixed on the graves .

No one knew whether it was a male or a female cultivator buried in the graves .

No one knew if it was a Vein Opening Realm or a Gold Core Realm cultivator inside the grave .

All that were sought after when they were still alive could not be brought into the afterlife . After their death, everything returned to their origin, ashes to ashes and dust to dust .

Zheng Country might be in chaos, but this tradition made Ning Fan sigh with admiration .

Holding grudges against the enemy when he was still alive but setting up a grave for the enemy once he died . Cultivators from Yue Country and Song Country were not as good as the cultivators from Zheng Country who were magnanimous .

Therefore, those graves became an excellent view in Ning Fan’s eyes . Apart from that, his mental state slightly improved .

The day you step into the cultivation world, you will never know when your life would end . Even if you are a superior Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, your life might end abruptly in the hands of a powerful Spirit Severing Realm expert .

Who else could escape death in this world? However, what was more difficult than dying was having someone who would set up a tomb for you .

If the flower wilted, I would bury it . But if I die, who would bury me?

“What do you see from those graves? Don’t tell me that you want to dig up those graves?” asked Suqiu while staring strangely at Ning Fan .

“What did I do to make you have such prejudices on me?” Ning Fan replied helplessly .

Then he shut his eyes gently and said respectfully, “Those who had just lost thier loved ones were mourning while others started singing songs . There was nothing to do for the departed aside from entrusting their bodies to earth . Zheng Country had the ‘Dao of Life and Death’ . However, this dao was beyond my level of comprehension . I am not able to understand it . But the desolation of the mountains was beneficial for me . ”

Yin Suqiu turned silent upon hearing Ning Fan’s words . She felt unfamiliar towards the Ning Fan currently before her . She felt that his level of comprehension was too high for her to reach .



She was proud of herself that she could persist on her righteous Dao even though she was standing between the righteous and evil path . But what Ning Fan perceived from the same sight was the Dao of heaven and earth .

During the day, Ning Fan would cultivate . In the evenings, he would listen to her flute . At night, he would look at the graves .

After awakening the demon veins, Ning Fan practiced hard all of the five-hundred low-ranking demon techniques . He started learning from the simplest technique, Fire Sense Technique .

In the evening, the melody of the flute made Ning Fan’s Heart Devil become calmer .


At night, the scenes of the graves made Ning Fan’s Divine Intent of Rain became more desolate, condensing its power .

The time spent on the journey in Zheng Country was four and half a months .

Along the journey, the thing that was worthy to be mentioned was that Ning Fan’s proficiency in demonic techniques greatly increased .

The five-hundred demonic techniques had a few simple techniques which were the five elements sense techniques such as Fire Sense Technique and Water Sense Technique . Aside from that, there were also complex techniques such as Ice Sense Technique and Melting Sense Technique . Last but not least, there were two practical techniques, namely Blood Reading Technique and  Body Possession Technique which was commonly used by demons .

Although they were low-ranking demonic techniques, each of them had a high threshold . Even the lowest grade of the techniques was Spiritual Level .  

As a matter of fact, Sense Technique was difficult to learn . For the demons who had reached Gold Core Realm, they would have a chance to choose whether to transform into human form or to keep their demonic body . Of course, those True Spirit Realm demons which had powerful bloodlines could have a human and demon form at the same time . Choosing a form was only applicable to ordinary demons .



The lowest cultivation realm to be able to shapeshift into a human form was Gold Core Realm . At that realm, it was the initiation period of cultivating low-ranking demonic techniques .

These demonic techniques were many and simple . Although their power could not be compared to the power of Dan Realm or Nascent Realm Magical Technique, they must not be underestimated . Every demonic technique was passed down from the ancient demons .

Among these techniques, there was an underlying principle of simplification .

Demonic techniques emphasized on the speed of performing hand seals . It’s different from magical techniques . Hand seals would only need to be perform when the cultivator was unfamiliar with the magical techniques . If the cultivators had already mastered the magical techniques, they could just swing their sleeve or snap their fingers to cast the techniques . However, the essence of demonic techniques was completely dissimilar from the magical techniques .

Magical techniques were the techniques which used the magic power within the cultivators to combat or defense .

Demonic techniques used the demons’ sense to commune with heaven and earth and borrowed power from them . The bridge that connected the demons and heaven and earth was the hand seals!

At first, Ning Fan’s speed of performing hand seals was very slow . He would need at least a period of ten breaths to conjure the simplest demonic technique, Fire Sense Technique .

However, as time passed by, Ning Fan became more and more familiar at performing hand seals . From conjuring a technique in a period of ten breaths to a period of three breaths and finally, he could conjure a technique in just a single breath .

Normally, he would shut his eyes and practice hand seals at full speed while standing in the morning breeze .

Even though the simplest technique, Fire Sense Technique had tens of hand seals, Ning Fan could complete them in just a single breath .

The shadow of his fingers was so fast that Yin Suqiu was left speechless in wonder . The fastest cultivator in performing hand seals which she had seen before was nothing compared to that .

When his speed was getting faster, he felt that his connection with heaven and earth was becoming stronger and closer .

When he was beginning to cultivate demonic techniques, his objective was to cultivate all three path, divine, demon and devil . His magic power had reached a bottleneck and his body refining technique could not break through to the third level of Colossal Bone Secret Arts . Therefore, it was a good time for him to cultivate demonic techniques, improving his demonic power . Although his magic power could not be improved any further, the demonic power that he cultivated fused with his magic power, increasing the quality of his magic power . Currently, his magic power was much denser as compared to other cultivators of the same realm . The magical techniques that he can cast held stronger power .

The only thing that mattered to Ning Fan in cultivating demonic techniques was not only to increase his demonic power . The feeling of unifying himself with the heaven and earth was too mysterious .

Rumours has it, the Immortal Sovereign of ten million worlds was the most powerful demon .

In the four heavens and nine worlds that were created by him, demonic techniques undoubtedly had a closer relationship with heaven and earth .
