After tossing those few people into the reclaimed land, Lin Xuankong carefully began to comprehend the several newly acquired Demonic Techniques.

The Cultivation Techniques of the Seven Great Demon Venerables were mostly extremely sinister Demonic Techniques, requiring the harming and even torturing of countless living beings to complete their Cultivation!

Although Lin Xuankong did not consider himself a great philanthropist, he still could not bring himself to commit atrocities like massacring large numbers of the Human Race. He would not cultivate such evil techniques as the Thousand Soul Banner, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the White Bone Demon Technique, or the Blood Sea Demon Technique!

Moreover, most of these Demonic Techniques focused on rapid progression, resulting in unstable foundations. Compared to Lin Xuankong's Yin Talisman Technique and Pine Crane Longevity Technique, they were ultimately somewhat lacking!

However, among these, two Cultivation Techniques made Lin Xuankong extremely delighted.

One of these Demonic Techniques was the Blood Eye Technique of the Blood Eye Demon Venerable, which was precisely the Eight Gates Celestial Eye cultivated by Second Lady Zhao Yufei!

Although this Blood Eye Demon Venerable had only cultivated his Blood Eye Technique to the Sixth Layer, his version was even more complete than Second Lady Zhao Yufei's Eight Gates Celestial Eye; it actually included the Cultivation Method for the Ninth Celestial Eye!

This meant that the Eight Gates Celestial Eye passed down to the Zhao Family's ancestor was actually an incomplete Secret Technique. The Blood Eye Demon Venerable's Blood Eye Technique, on the other hand, was the truly complete Cultivation Technique!

According to the information Lin Xuankong had received, once the Ninth Celestial Eye was fully cultivated, it could bestow a portion of the Divine Power of one of the Human Race's progenitors, the Ancestor with Double Pupils!

Zhao Yufei had once said that the Ancestor with Double Pupils, an Innate Divine being, possessed the Divine Technique to see through the essence and weaknesses of all things. Through this Divine Power, the Ancestor with Double Pupils stood out among the many Innate Divine progenitors of the Human Race, directly becoming one of the three supreme progenitors!

Now that the Blood Eye Technique was complete, even though I don't have a sufficient Double Pupil Bloodline to cultivate this Secret Technique myself, if I pass this Cultivation Technique to Yu Fei, with my thirty-fold Cultivation Speed enhancement, she'll cultivate extremely fast. It would probably take her a few hundred days at most to reach the Ninth Celestial Eye!

The Ninth Celestial Eye... Even if it couldn't grant the full Divine Power of the Ancestor with Double Pupils, just possessing a fragment of the Divine Technique to see through the essence of all things would be immensely powerful!

After all, the world is complex. How many could truly see through illusions? Even an Earth Immortal Powerhouse couldn't perceive the essence and weaknesses of everything...

With this thought, Lin Xuankong, without hesitation, immediately took out paper and pen and transcribed the newly acquired Cultivation Method for the Ninth Celestial Eye.

After completing the transcription, Lin Xuankong focused his Heart Spirit and began to comprehend the Demonic Technique he most desired this time—the Heavenly Demon Technique of Transformation and Freedom!

This Celestial Demon Technique originally came from the Profound Yin Demon Sect and was one of its three great Celestial Demon Techniques. Although only a portion had been passed down—the Magic Formulas mastered by the Eight Great Demon Sects only allowed Cultivation up to the First Layer—it could already forcibly elevate the Realm of Tier Nine Cultivators to the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm.

This First Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique of Transformation and Freedom could enable Tier Nine Cultivators to wield nearly sixty percent of an Earth Immortal Cultivator's Immortal Body's might for ninety breaths. The Pseudo-Earth Immortal Golden Core forcibly condensed with True Qi would also possess sixty percent of the power of an Initial Tier Earth Immortal Golden Core!

Sixty percent of the power of an Initial Tier Earth Immortal was already extremely terrifying!

After all, Immortals and Mortals are distinct!

Take the Great Xia Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom, for instance. There were many Tier Nine Cultivators. Combining the two Dynasties along with the Demon Sect Cultivators, the total number might be seven or eight hundred!

These cultivators at the Ninth-Layer Realm—which one of them wasn't incredibly talented and blessed with exceptional luck?

If not, how could they have repeatedly broken through bottlenecks to become peak powerhouses below the Earth Immortal Realm? They weren't Lin Xuankong, after all; they didn't possess the ability or the Life Plate to ignore bottlenecks!

Yet, despite their immense Talent and luck, none of these seven or eight hundred cultivators could advance to become an Initial Tier Earth Immortal. Most importantly, even if all of them combined their strength, they might not be a match for a single Initial Tier Earth Immortal!

Otherwise, why would Cao Yu, a true disciple of an Earth Immortal, command such awe from the Great Xia Dynasty and make even the Eight Great Demon Venerables wary, never daring to make a lethal move against him?

Simply from the attitudes of the many powerhouses in the Great Xia Dynasty and the Eight Great Demon Venerables, one could discern how terrifying a true Earth Immortal was!

Unfortunately, becoming an Immortal was too difficult...

Even within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, there were still a large number of disciples at the Late Ninth Layer and Ninth-Layer Perfection who had not advanced to the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm!

The difficulty of becoming an Immortal was akin to ascending to the highest heavens!

The Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill, the Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion, and Crossing the Immortal Tribulation—lacking any one of these made it impossible to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm!

Yet, this Heavenly Demon Technique of Transformation and Freedom required neither the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill, nor an Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion, nor Crossing the Immortal Tribulation. As long as one cultivated the First Layer to the Late Stage, they could directly reach the Half-Step Earth Immortal Realm, allowing the cultivator to possess the terrifying might to dominate and easily slay Tier Nine Cultivators!

Of course, such a powerful Celestial Demon Technique was not easy to cultivate...

The Eight Great Demon Venerables had each cultivated for two or three hundred years after achieving Ninth-Layer Perfection before they managed to cultivate the First Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique of Transformation and Freedom to the Late Stage or Perfection!

However, their centuries of cultivation achievements became Lin Xuankong's own after a single utterance of 'Godfather'!

[Heavenly Demon Technique of Transformation and Freedom: First Layer 10,000/10,000]

Observing the new line of text that appeared on his Life Plate, Lin Xuankong's lips curved into a smile.

The next moment, he suddenly floated into the air.

Immediately, black Demonic Qi swirled around his body. The density of this Demonic Qi was identical to that of the Duobao Demon Venerable, the strongest among the Eight Great Demon Venerables.

As the black Demonic Qi manifested, Lin Xuankong's body began to rapidly expand. In an instant, he transformed from over seven feet tall to a mountain-like giant some six hundred zhang in height—a size identical to that of the Duobao Demon Venerable, the strongest of the Eight Great Demon Venerables!

Such a colossal figure made the small hills beside Lin Xuankong seem diminutive by comparison, like mere mounds of earth piled up by playing children!

Then, with a mere Heart Thought, Lin Xuankong shrank to the size of his little finger.

At this size, upon landing, he was even smaller than the blades of grass. An ant crawling past him looked as large as a ferocious hound in comparison!

After transforming like this several times, Lin Xuankong finally returned to his original size, a look of satisfaction gracing his features.

I finally possess the power of a Half-Step Earth Immortal!

With this level of strength, if I also use the Fierce Tiger Roar Bone Technique, the Blood-Burning Secret Technique, the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique, the Kui Ox Drum, and the Dharma-grade Golden Body Treasure Elixir... my Explosive Power should at least be comparable to an Initial Tier Earth Immortal!

With this kind of power, even if I encountered an Initial Tier Earth Demon powerhouse from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, I could fight them head-on without activating an Immortal Artifact!

And if I did activate an Immortal Artifact, I wonder if I'd have a chance to kill an Earth Immortal...

After a period of excited imagining, Lin Xuankong's figure flickered, and he appeared inside the exquisite stone building constructed by Yu Fei and Lan.

Zhao Yufei, who was in the stone building managing various affairs of the Secret Realm, sensed the nearby fluctuations. She turned to look, a smile gracing her lovely face. "Husband, you seem very happy?"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, walked to Zhao Yufei's side, and took her hand. "I'm in an excellent mood today. Let's rest for a bit. Come to the bedroom; I have a wonderful Treasure to show you. I gained a great deal this time from dealing with those Demon Venerables of the Demon Sect!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yufei shook her head repeatedly. "No, let's not go to the bedroom. Just tell me here. Whatever wonderful Treasure it is, we can look at it here just as well!"

Seeing his Second Lady's apprehensive expression, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but laugh heartily. He reached into his Ghost Toad Pouch and took out eight Treasures, then looked at Zhao Yufei. "Come with me to the bedroom. You can pick any one of these Treasures!"

Zhao Yufei glanced at the Treasures, her lovely face changing dramatically as an expression of disbelief appeared. "This... this... You actually obtained such precious Treasures! And more than one!"
