Chapter 138: Call of the Demon Heart Sutra, the Highest Inheritance of the Yama Sect l
However, no matter what Wanliu Master had anticipated, he would have never guessed that the most important Heritage Jade Record of his Yama Sect would fall into the hands of a small cultivator still in the Qi Cultivation Stage. This young man not only chose not to read the record with his Spiritual Sense.
He even used a strange insect to attempt eating the Heritage Jade Record.
Therefore, out of sheer fright, Wanliu Master no longer concealed himself and hurriedly voiced out to stop him.
Unfortunately for him, he had the misfortune of meeting Zhou Sui, who disregarded all norms.
Without giving Wanliu Master any chance to react, Zhou Sui ordered his Book Worm to devour the Heritage Jade Record.
And with that, Wanliu Master’s life came to a tragic end right there, his existence erased by the Bookworm.
So, as he faced his demise, Wanliu Master could not help but lament how such a misfortune could fall upon him as the Golden Core Master.
“This cultivation world is too dangerous. Even seeing a Heritage Jade Record can be lethal?!”
Zhou Sui was a bit stunned.
He had no clue that viewing a Heritage Jade Record could lead to a life-or- death crisis. This only proved how multifaceted and crafty cultivators in this world could be, making it impossible to anticipate every move.
Caution, no matter how excessive, was warranted in this world.
Thankfully, he had the Bookworm, which made it unnecessary for him to personally view the Heritage Jade Record.
This allowed him to avert a deadly attack.
Of course, even if Wanliu Master had truly tried to seize him, his attempt would likely have been unsuccessful.
His soul was guarded by the Supreme Gu God Bowl. Wanliu Master’s attempt was nothing more than a distress call against his encroaching demise.
Despite this, the incident served as a reminder to him.
That dangers lurk around every corner in this cultivation world. Things from unfamiliar cultivators, even those who had died many years ago, could still carry secret traps and dangers.
“But this Heritage Jade Record is indeed very special. It actually contains Yama Sect’s supreme cultivation technique, ‘Summoning the Heart Demon’.”
A glint flashed in Zhou Sui’s eyes.
As everyone knew, the Yama Sect was a Divinity Transformation Sect. The legendary ‘Summoning the Heart Demon’, a mysterious cultivation technique supposedly from a higher realm of the Demonic Path, was the highest teaching of the sect.
For some unknown reason, this cultivation technique has ended up in this world.
It was then obtained by the founder of Yama Sect and became the sect’s supreme cultivation technique.
The most powerful aspect of this cultivation technique was its ability to cultivate demonic seeds and awaken the Heart Demon in others.
As long as they had dealings with others, they could plant a demonic seed in them.
If a person remained honest and did not break their vows, nothing would happen, and the demonic seed would not activate.
However, the moment they broke their promise, the demonic seed would activate, instantly consuming the person’s soul and internal energy, and stealing their power.
Without the person even realizing it, they could be transformed into a puppet under their control.
In the past, the founder of the Yama Sect had caused havocs everywhere using this cultivation technique. He would often disguise himself as a Loose Cultivator and make deals with others.
Unbeknownst to many cultivators, they had seeds planted in them.
In the cultivation world, there was a severe lack of trust among people to begin with. Treachery and assassination were all too common.
Hardly any trust existed at all.
For this reason, the founder of the Yama Sect was practically unstoppable.
Using the ‘Summoning the Heart Demon’ technique, he unknowingly tricked and killed countless cultivators, amassing a massive fortune.
Thus, he rapidly rose and established the Yama Sect.
From then on, the name of the Yama Sect resounded throughout the cultivation world, striking fear into countless cultivators’ hearts.
When dealing with cultivators from the Yama Sect, everyone would go out of their way to avoid them, fearing the demonic seed that might be planted in them, taking control of their lives and deaths.
But precisely because of the dreadful power of the Yama Sect and its rampant atrocities, they became everyone’s enemy.
After the death of their Divinity Transformation Elder, the sect fell into decline.
As a result, they were besieged by several sects and eventually destroyed.
But, of course, Wanliu Master was not the only disciple of the Yama Sect.
In fact, quite a few disciples of the Yama Sect managed to escape, each carrying with them the heritage of the sect.
However, Wanliu Master was most special of them all, having received the ‘Summoning the Heart Demon’ technique.
“This is a very dangerous technique.”
“One misstep could lead to possession by demons, resulting in death.”
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes.
Of course, this cultivation technique was profound and mysterious, versatile in its abilities, and unfathomable in its depths.
Not only was it extremely difficult to cultivate, even success in such cultivation carried significant risks.
Because once the demonic seed devoured another cultivator’s soul, memories, and energies, a massive surge of memories would flood into one’s soul.
If too many were devoured, the memories would become chaotic.
This could cause cultivators to lose a clear sense of self, as if their personalities were changing, transforming into a different person, as though they were being possessed.
The more memories that were devoured, the more severe this condition would become.
Many true disciples of the Yama Sect experienced this.
They abused the power of the ‘Summoning the Heart Demon’, devouring too many memories of other cultivators.
They reached a point where they were unable to distinguish reality.
Their minds became possessed by demons, unable to tell friend from foe, creating a wave of slaughter.
The numerous infamous deeds of the Yama Sect were committed by these disciples.
Even the founder of the Yama Sect did not dare to misuse this power.
When he reached a certain stage in his cultivation, he stopped using it and began practicing other cultivation techniques.
After all, the side effects of this technique were simply too severe.
It seemed like this technique wasn’t meant for humans to practice.
“Wonderful! The applications of this cultivation technique are countless.”
“The side effects seem completely negligible for me.”
“If I can master this technique, who would dare to break promises with me.”
“Everyone would need to be honest and keep their word.”
Zhou Sui’s eyes suddenly lit up, feeling very excited.
He felt that this cultivation technique would provide significant help to him, like giving wings to a tiger.
Indeed, devouring other cultivators’ memories could cause the collapse of his own soul memory.
With too many different memories and emotions appearing, it could cause confusion about his identity and reality.
However, he possessed the Dream Soul Gu, an amazing insect.
It had the ability to devour the soul memories of other beings.
It had previously devoured many cultivators’ souls, even acquiring a large amount of their soul memories.
Despite this, it was unaffected in the slightest.
That’s because the Dream Soul Gu acted like a manager of a dreamland.
To it, each soul’s memory was just like a different dreamland.
Devouring a cultivator’s soul memory was equivalent to gaining a dreamland world.
In essence, it was like a large server for dreamland worlds.
As long as it didn’t store too many dreamland worlds, the server would not collapse.
Moreover, as its cultivation grew, the capacity within it also continued to expand.
As for Zhou Sui.
As the master of the Dream Soul Gu, he was like the server’s administrator, not directly accessing these dreamlands.
He could call upon the memories of the dreamlands and access related information whenever needed while remaining unaffected by these memories.
