Chapter 149: Chapter 149 – Realistic Problem

“Is there no way to avoid these problems?” Liu Li could not help but ask.

Even though he had expected there to be a price with the Heaven Devouring Scripture, this was a bit too grave.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shan smiled and said, “There is.
Once you start to use the Heaven Devouring Scripture, you will begin to be affected by constitutions and bloodlines.

“However, there is a different level to which you will be affected by different constitutions and bloodlines.

“If you are afraid of your personality changing, just devour those with similar constitutions and bloodlines,” Yu Shan said with a teasing look.

“What do you mean?” Liu Li paused as a bad feeling welled up within him.

“You still don’t understand?” Yu Shan grinned, “Absorbing similar constitutions and bloodlines will reduce the difficulty of refining them, and the negative effects will be reduced as well.

“As such, it is the most suitable to use it on direct blood relations, such as parents, descendants, and siblings; those are all good choices…”

“Stop!”

Listening to there, Liu Li’s face became ashen, “What Heaven Devouring Scripture; this is clearly an evil technique!”

Yu Shan nodded, not denying it, “That’s right.
Techniques are not inherently good or evil; it just depends how you use them.

“Isn’t it enough for it to be of use to you?”

He laughed as he continued, “If you can’t do this to direct relatives, then other powerful and special humans are also good choices.

“As for Outlanders, even though their bloodlines are powerful, because they are so different, the effects from them will be very big.”

Following this, he thought about it before suddenly saying, “That’s right, that teacher of yours is also quite suitable.
Your teacher’s cultivation is not inferior to mine; if you can devour him…”

“Stop right there!” Liu Li glared at his grandfather as he furiously shouted, “If I do such a thing to those closest to me because I’m afraid of the consequences, what difference would there be between a beast and myself?

“If I am to become a beast to avoid the consequences, what need is there to be afraid of the consequences?” Liu Li said with a cold expression.

Right now, he felt complete disgust towards the Heaven Devouring Scripture.

Looking at Liu Li, Yu Shan only smiled before saying, “You can do as you see fit.
I’ve passed the technique to you, so how you use it is up to yourself.”

After saying this, his body disappeared.

The black gemstone pendant gave off a faint heat against Liu Li’s chest, making him feel quite startled.

Sensing that heat, he thought of what Yu Shan had said and deeply sighed.

Following this, he looked at the small building ahead and hesitated before walking in.

Inside, Liu Yi was moving about, decocting medicinal herbs.

As for Chen Heng, he was still within the room, and his coughs could occasionally be heard.

Hearing the coughs, Liu Li’s emotions became quite heavy as he walked over.

“Teacher,” he lightly called out while standing at the entrance of the room.

“Come in,” the gentle voice sounded out.

Liu Li opened the door and walked in.

Within the room, a dense smell of medicine floated out.

At the center, Chen Heng sat on the bed, continuously lightly coughing.

Under the faint sunlight, Chen Heng’s current appearance was revealed.

He looked quite handsome and his long black hair cascaded down his back, but his face was extremely pale and had no color.
He was continuously coughing and looked like he was in great discomfort.

“Why are you back?” Chen Heng turned and looked at Liu Li with a gentle smile as he softly asked.

“Teacher…” Looking at Chen Heng, Liu Li hesitated before half-kneeling and taking out something.

It was a black gemstone that had been carved into a circle, and it looked quite pretty.

Within it, there seemed to be a unique energy flowing through it, making it look quite special.

“Eh?” Looking at this gemstone, Chen Heng felt quite surprised and sensed something.

As such, he waved his hand and brought the gemstone before him.

“What is this?” Chen Heng examined it before softly asking as he looked at Liu Li.

“This is something that your disciple found on the mountain; it looked quite extraordinary, so I brought it back for teacher to have a look at,” Liu Li said with a respectful expression.

This was something that Yu Shan had prepared beforehand, and it contained the Heaven Devouring Scripture.

Yu Shan had said that he did not intend on revealing himself yet and was not going to show himself before Chen Heng.

As such, Liu Li could not reveal his existence and could only use other methods to pass this Heaven Devouring Scripture to Chen Heng.

After passing this Heaven Devouring Scripture to Chen Heng, whether or not he would cultivate it was up to him.

“This is a type of spirit stone that is used for storing information, usually techniques,” Chen Heng smiled as he looked at Liu Li.

“There is a cultivation technique within this spirit stone; after I break open the runes on it, I will teach the technique within it to you,” Chen Heng said.

“Yes,” Liu Li respectfully nodded and left.

After he left the room, Chen Heng looked at the gemstone.

“He’s especially passing something to me?”

Looking at the gemstone, Chen Heng smiled and thought to himself.

He did not completely believe what Liu Li had said.

With Liu Li’s Fortune, finding a legacy technique on his way was entirely possible, but it was also likely that this technique had been given to him by that old monster.

Chen Heng still had not forgotten that there seemed to be an old monster hiding in Liu Li’s body.

In the recent days, Liu Li’s Fortune had broken out; perhaps that old monster had awoken too.

It was equally likely for this gemstone to have been found by Liu Li, or for it to have been given to him by the old monster.

Thinking to there, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he tightly gripped the gemstone.
His magic energy surged out and his Fortune Mark was also activated as he wiped away the rune on the gemstone, causing the information within it to be revealed.

Large amounts of information flooded into Chen Heng’s mind.

Following this, Chen Heng gained information about the Heaven Devouring Scripture.

“This is…”

Sensing the information in his mind and learning about the Heaven Devouring Scripture, even Chen Heng’s expression slightly changed.

“Devouring others’ constitutions and bloodlines to cause one’s body to transform…”

Going through the information in his mind, Chen Heng smiled, “Interesting…”

He was now more or less confident that this technique had been given to Liu Li by that old monster.

Otherwise, things would not be this coincidental.

Chen Heng’s current predicament was because his cultivation foundation had been destroyed.

If he used this Heaven Devouring Scripture to cultivate and devoured other people’s constitutions and bloodlines to transform his body, he could restore his cultivation foundation.

This was perfect for him.

It would be too big of a coincidence for Liu Li to pick up such a perfect technique by chance.

“Heaven Devouring Scripture…”

Thinking of the Heaven Devouring Scripture, Chen Heng thought of Liu Li’s body.

With Liu Li’s body, ordinary methods could not change his constitution, but this Heaven Devouring Scripture could.

Moreover, if Liu Li was savage enough and devoured enough constitutions and bloodlines, he would go from being trash to a genius who could rival true geniuses.

It was as if this technique was made for someone like Liu Li.

“So this is Fortune…” thinking about Liu Li’s Fortune breaking out, Chen Heng smiled and thought to himself.

“The restrictions I left in the gemstone have already been undone by your teacher.”

While Chen Heng was going through the Heaven Devouring Scripture, Yu Shan’s voice sounded out in Liu Li’s mind.

His tone was one of surprise and hid traces of respect, “Incredible.
Even those old monsters would take a few days to undo it, but he only used this long? Your teacher is not simple.”

However, Liu Li was not paying much mind to what Yu Shan was saying.

Right now, his attention was on something else.

Liu Li felt quite worried as he asked, “Grandfather… Do you think teacher will cultivate the Heaven Devouring Scripture?”

Yu Shan replied, “I’m not sure.
But the Heaven Devouring Scripture should be able to heal him.

“Your teacher seems like an upright person and is not a hypocrite like those other old monsters.

“Even though these people are quite rare, such inflexible people do exist, so it’s difficult to say whether or not he will use it.”

It had to be said that Chen Heng had put on a very convincing act—he had even fooled an old monster like Yu Shan.

“However, if he really does use it, then you will be in danger,” Yu Shan’s voice once again sounded out.

“Why’s that?” Liu Li frowned as he asked.

Yu Shan’s voice was calm as he said, “What do you think? It’s not too bad for you, since your constitution is useless, but your little sister…” Yu Shan said somewhat teasingly.

“Little sister…” Liu Li paused and his expression fell.

Indeed, the cultivation of Heaven Devouring Scripture required the cultivator to devour many constitutions and bloodlines.

Compared to Liu Li, Liu Yi’s talent was very good.
Not only did she have a complete Spirit Root, there also seemed to be something special about her constitution.

What’s more, she was only at Foundation Building, and her cultivation was quite weak.

Someone like her was a perfect target for someone who cultivated the Heaven Devouring Scripture.

If Chen Heng really cultivated the Heaven Devouring Scripture, would he set his sights on Liu Yi?

Liu Li’s heart thumped as he thought to himself.

From an emotional standpoint, he felt that this was not very likely.

However, from a rational standpoint, he had to admit that this was a possibility.

Life and death was simply too terrifying.

Even family members who normally got along amicably and lovingly might change in the face of life and death.

Moreover, this person was a cultivator.

Most cultivators were incredibly cold and selfish.

Even though Chen Heng outwardly looked quite young, for him to have this kind of cultivation, he was most likely an old monster.

Those who were old monsters typically didn’t have a very good reputation.

Could Chen Heng be an exception?

At this moment, Liu Li could not help but feel quite worried.

“Feeling troubled, aren’t you?”

Within Liu Li’s mind, Yu Shan’s cold voice sounded out, “No matter when it is, don’t easily trust anyone.

“No matter if it’s your family or your teacher, they might act against you for certain things.
This is my first lesson for you.”

Yu Shan continued to speak calmly, “Don’t worry, you’re still young, and if it really comes to that, I will block things for you.
However, remember this lesson in the future.
Do not trust anyone except yourself.”

“Does that… include you, grandfather?” Liu Li fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking.

……..

Yu Shan was taken by surprise before giving a pleased laugh.

“Naturally,” he said softly without any hesitation.

…

“Heaven Devouring Scripture…” At night, Chen Heng walked in the wilderness.

Ahead of him, a few wolves’ corpses lay on the ground, and they had become dried corpses.

Looking at the wolves’ corpses and sensing the feeling in his body, Chen Heng thought to himself.

He nodded, “So it’s true… When using the Heaven Devouring Scripture to devour others’ constitutions and bloodlines, one will be affected by those things, which can cause serious side-effects.”

After devouring a few wolves’ bloodlines, a bloodthirsty and berserk urge flowed into Chen Heng’s mind, making him want to commit a slaughter.

This kind of feeling was incredibly strong, and if it was an ordinary person, they might not have been able to hold back and gone on a killing spree.

However, Chen Heng was different.

Compared to a high and mighty True Lord, the bloodlines of a few wolves were far too weak and could not shake his soul at all.

However, Chen Heng could still see the potential.

A few wolves’ bloodline power could not affect him, but as he devoured more constitutions and bloodlines, even his True Lord soul would one day be affected and cause his personality to change.

If he wanted to avoid this kind of influence, he had to find existences with similar bloodlines, which were usually people of the same family or clan.

Killing one’s family to grow their constitutions and bloodlines; this was undoubtedly an evil path.

Even though he had only just come into contact with this technique, as a True Lord, he had a deep understanding of techniques.

After doing some tests, he knew his situation clearly.

Standing there, he sensed the changes in his body.

After devouring those wolves’ bloodline power, a crimson-red energy had appeared in his body, fusing into it and causing his constitution and bloodline to become stronger.

His broken cultivation foundation also seemed to slightly stabilise.

However, a few mere wolves’ bloodline power was too weak compared to his constitution, and it could not cause much of a change.

If he wanted to restore his cultivation foundation, he would need to devour a terrifying number of constitutions and bloodlines.

Thinking about that, Chen Heng turned and looked towards the small building.

At that moment, his vision seemed to pass through the many obstructions and looked towards the sleeping Liu Yi.

Compared to others, Liu Yi’s talent was quite good and had a complete Spirit Root.

Devouring her alone could compare to devouring countless ordinary people.

What’s more, her cultivation was still quite weak, and as long as he acted against her, he should be able to succeed.

However, that was only from a basic theoretical viewpoint.

Chen Heng knew that even though this girl looked ordinary, once she exploded with power, her strength would exceed that of a True Lord’s.

If he dared to act against her, his outcome would be quite pitiful.

“It’s a pity that it’s a bit late…”

Thinking to there, Chen Heng sighed.

He had obtained the Heaven Devouring Scripture too late.

If he had obtained this Heaven Devouring Scripture right when he had come to this world, when his cultivation foundation had only just collapsed, perhaps there might have been some hope for him.
