Volume 5: Crimson Blood Cave Mansion Chapter 6: The Devil's Book 'Nameless'

  "Hiss... The power of the Golden Elixir continuously coursed through Qin Yu's muscles and bones, causing his originally injured muscles and bones to tremble repeatedly. Thin beads of blood continued to seep out from Qin Yu's pores, but he gritted his teeth and endured."

  Seize every moment!

  In the star cloud within Qin Yu, that mass of cyan flames continued to burn away at the Golden Dan energy flow, burning away all impurities until only the essence remained. This was absorbed by the silver grains in the star cloud one by one. The last time Qin Yu had used his ultimate move and exchanged a blow with Xiang Yang, it had reduced the number of silver grains within him greatly. Although he had spent some time recovering, he had only managed to recover about half of them.

  At this moment, the silver particles in Qin Yu Xingyun have already surpassed his past best state.

  "It only takes half a day, and after half a day, my strength will reach its best state." Qin Yu was secretly planning in his heart, refining the Golden Elixir didn't need to be taken too seriously, thinking that this refinement process was very simple, just needing to pay a little attention.

  "But even if I recover my strength, what can I do?" Qin Yu's heart was getting a little anxious.

  In this vast overseas Xiu Zhen world, especially in the most powerful underwater Xiu Yao world, Qin Yu was completely unaware of it. For example, when he first entered the underwater world, he was judged as an outsider by other Xiu Yao practitioners. What's going on?

  If this point is not clarified, he will probably make little progress.

  "There are many masters of underwater cultivation who are far more powerful than me, and if I don't fully understand the world of underwater cultivators, I'm afraid I'll have to retreat back to my hometown on the Dragon Continent like a timid turtle." Qin Yu couldn't bear the thought of retreating.

  But what can be done about it?

  Ask someone? Those demon cultivators will tell you, maybe they'll attack Qin Yu immediately.

  "Ah, I remember!"

  Qin Yu's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly remembered the books of cultivators he had seen in Leishanju, including the secret books of immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, and monster cultivators. There were also some cultivation secrets from another universe's sacred land of Earth.

  One of them seemed to be a demonic cultivator's secret book from Earth. Qin Yu flipped through it and saw the two words - Soul Search!

  However, some of the cultivation methods used by the demon cultivators were too cruel, such as using pregnant women and purple river carts. Qin Yu was not interested and only flipped through them briefly. However, he did take notice of a demonic secret technique called "Soul Search".

  "Alright, once I've refined the Golden Elixir, I'll start cultivating." Qin Yu's heart was filled with joy.

  At the critical moment, it was these demonic Dao's special skills that could help him. Thinking of 'Soul Search', Qin Yu also remembered other Earth Demon Dao secrets described in that secret book, each one extremely mysterious.

  But for Qin Yu at this moment, it couldn't be more suitable.

  Just as Qin Yu was overjoyed, suddenly ——

  "Not good, someone's coming!"

  Qin Yu knew something was off, his spiritual awareness clearly detected the two passing cultivators above him. These two cultivators were both in human form and flying through the water, but their powers weren't high. The strongest one was only at the late Golden Core stage.

  Qin Yu's soul was extremely resilient, causing his spiritual awareness to be exceptionally sharp as well. Under the cover of his spiritual awareness, those two demonic cultivators didn't have the slightest perception.

  "Senior brother, I heard that the son of the San clan's patriarch in the Eight-Armed Octopus has died. The San clan's patriarch even issued a wanted order, and whoever catches the murderer will receive a mid-grade spiritual artifact as well as the patriarch's personal favor." A tall cultivator said to a shorter one beside him with a smile.

  "This senior brother sneered: 'Junior brother, don't think so much, being able to kill the son of that Sang tribe's chief, your abilities definitely aren't weak. Don't be delusional.'"

  "This tall and thin cultivator of the demonic path, however, disagreed: 'Senior brother, didn't you hear about the wanted notice? That cultivator finally used an escape technique similar to Blood Escape. He must have been severely injured in his primordial energy, and his own cultivation was not enough for the Yuan Infant stage. Senior brother, Blood Escape is a high-level escape technique, it's absolutely impossible to recover within a year or two.'"

  "That's right, it's hard for Blood Escape and other life-saving skills to recover." The senior brother nodded in agreement.

  In the heart of Qin Yu, who was secretly observing all this with his spiritual sense, he was rejoicing in secret. If it weren't for the Flowing Star Tears, he wouldn't have been able to recover his cultivation and power in just a year or two. Moreover, his burnt left arm would never have been reborn again.

  Those who capture demons all think that capturing Qin Yu is easy, the problem is just finding Qin Yu. A human without a demon-capturing aura is still quite easy to identify.

  However, Qin Yu had tears of shooting stars.

  This was something that none of the demon cultivators had thought of, and it gave Qin Yu's road to survival a glimmer of hope. "Right, senior brother, that immortal practitioner must be very weak, otherwise... let's check carefully, use our divine sense to scout ahead, fly along the way and search, who knows, we might really run into them." The tall demon cultivator suggested.

  Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat. For an instant, it seemed as if his heartbeat had suddenly stopped, and then the sound of his heartbeat seemed to reverberate in his mind.

  "Not good. I haven't succeeded in refining this Golden Elixir yet. If I rush out like this without any preparation or planning, even if I manage to kill these two, I'll still be hunted down by a large number of demon cultivators." Qin Yu also knew not to act rashly after the last lesson.

  No matter what, everything must be prepared.

  "Junior brother, stop daydreaming. The ocean is vast and boundless, but our spiritual awareness can only cover a tiny bit of it. If... our spiritual awareness were to discover some terrifying and ferocious sea monster, and provoke that monster, you'd better be prepared to die." The senior brother scolded.

  It's very impolite to casually look down on someone with greater abilities than yours.

  Tall and slender, the demon cultivator couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine: "Right, senior brother is right."

  "Let's go, what belongs to you is yours, and what doesn't can't be forced." The senior brother seemed very calm and collected as he led his junior brother, the two brothers continuing on their way, flying over Qin Yu.

  The ocean is vast, and it's possible that some fierce sea monster is quietly cultivating at the bottom of the sea. Although the probability is small, it's definitely higher than finding Qin Yu. After all, there's only one Qin Yu, but there must be more than one sea monster lurking in the depths.

  If the spiritual consciousness disturbed such a fierce monster, it might just eat them up.

  "Ah."

  Qin Yu secretly took a deep breath in his heart. Although he was not afraid of these two demon cultivators, if they exposed his identity because of them, it would be terrible. Moreover, from the words of these two demon cultivators, Qin Yu discovered something very ominous.

  Wanted!

  "It's not good, San Mo has actually issued a wanted order." Qin Yu thought for a moment and decided on one thing: no matter what, he must first learn the secret of the magic path 'Soul Search', as for other secrets, they can wait for now.

  Learned soul searching, first find a repair demon user to use it, at least know the general situation of the sea bottom repair demon world, so as to be more prepared. After all, knowing oneself and others can win every battle without danger.

  After half a day, Qin Yu finally refined the golden elixir until it was spotless.

  "Very good, the state is better than ever before." Qin Yu's eyes opened, and at this moment he was under a coral reef. Qin Yu directly used the Star Power to shake away the surrounding mud, and his spiritual consciousness completely entered the Space Ring.

  Everything in the space ring, Qin Yu's spiritual consciousness can easily browse. Qin Yu's spiritual consciousness directly enters the study of Leishan's residence.

  "Nameless?"

  When Qin Yu's spiritual awareness opened the secret book, he only noticed that the name of this demonic dao secret book was actually "Nameless". 'Nameless' wasn't saying it had no name. It was saying that this demonic dao secret book was called 'Nameless'.

  Qin Yu directly skipped over the method of cultivating demonic magic and looked at the secret methods of cultivating the Dao. In the past, Qin Yu had not paid much attention to these things, but now he began to carefully read through them line by line.

  "What is spiritual awareness? Is it something that naturally emerges when the soul reaches the Golden Elixir realm and becomes strong enough? According to ancient legends, cultivators have spiritual awareness, while immortals have immortal awareness. This was what I originally thought, but later I discovered that it's not like that at all..."

  Qin Yu was completely immersed in it as soon as he saw this passage.

  The spiritual vision was indeed very fast. Very quickly, Qin Yu finished reading all the secrets of this demonic path. After finishing this secret book, Qin Yu felt that his understanding of the soul had reached a new level.

  Qin Yu's eyes opened, and a excited light flashed across.

  "This anonymous senior's book 'Nameless' has achieved a cultivation method that is absolutely no less than the master's creation of 'Stellar Transformation'. Only after reading this book did Qin Yu truly admire another fellow cultivator from a different universe and earth."

  That senior revealed a new world, a world about the most essential soul.

  "Alright, let's start with the first step." Qin Yu's mind flashed through a series of magical secret techniques, but all of them had one fundamental principle - the power of the soul that was controlled by one's desires. What is this thing called the power of the soul?

  Spiritual consciousness is the power of the soul!

  It is said that the earth fairy's recognition is also the power of the soul according to reasoning. It's just that when the soul becomes strong to a certain extent, the power of the soul has also undergone an essential change.

  Qin Yu recalled the description of the first step of cultivation.

  "The first step in cultivating this technique is the most difficult. The power of the soul is very mysterious, and ordinary cultivators can only disperse their soul's energy. To make other changes, such as turning the soul's energy into a vortex or a circle, are extremely difficult, which depends on individual talent, and there is no shortcut, only repeated experimentation."

  Qin Yu's ability can be expected to be high due to his innate talent.

  "Rotate, rotate." Qin Yu muttered to himself, trying his best to control the Soul Power according to his will. However, as expected, just like what was written in the book, the Soul Power was indeed very difficult to control. It seemed that there were only two functions - dispersing and condensing.

  The power of the soul spreads out is to observe with spiritual awareness, and the power of the soul contracts is not to use spiritual awareness.

  A faint, weak stream of heat slowly flowed into Qin Yu's mind from the Meteor Tear, where a circular energy disk existed deep within his mind. Around this disk, electric snakes slithered and coiled, while seven-colored light halos were slowly released.

  That faint warmth was slowly swallowed by the circular disc.

  ……

  Qin Yu continued to try, trying to control the power of the soul. Those empty eyes couldn't see it, but could only feel the power of the soul. Time and time again, Qin Yu didn't give up. Because that demonic book had once said so.

  The most talented disciple of this sect also tried for three days, and the power of the soul was slightly controlled, while the creator of this book spent a whole year.

  The void soul power that had been quietly surrounding the soul in the brain suddenly shook violently.

  "It's moving!"

  Qin Yu's heart was filled with a surge of excitement, he had not expected that in just one short hour he would succeed in his attempt, and he couldn't understand why he could control the power of these souls so easily.

  "Soul Search!"

  Qin Yu suddenly remembered the Soul Searching Technique, he didn't waste any time and immediately continued to cultivate. The soul power in his mind had only been cultivated for less than half a double hour, but about one-tenth of it could already be completely controlled by Qin Yu.

  Yes, one-tenth is completely under control. It may seem like a small amount, but it took the founder of writing 50 years to reach this point.

  Alas, Qin Yu tried again, but could no longer grasp it.

  "Alright, first secure the rear." Qin Yu controlled that one-tenth of his soul power to move, and it began to revolve in a spiral shape, wrapping up his own soul as well as other soul powers within its core.

  On Earth, this is a defensive method to prevent others from attacking with the power of the soul. Even if it cannot be forcibly resisted, it can be used to weaken layer by layer with a vortex.

  That whirlpool-like soul force began to move slowly, and suddenly the shooting star tears in Qin Yu's body shook violently. A scorching warm current flowed directly from the shooting star tears and rushed straight into Qin Yu's mind.

  The vortex was unable to block it, and the warm current rushed straight in, directly breaking through the vortex formed by Qin Yu.

  "Not good!"

  Qin Yu was using the power of his soul to form a vortex for the first time, but it was suddenly and forcefully broken through. The powers of those souls were actually thrown into disarray, and even the remaining Qin Yu's uncontrollable powers of the soul also became chaotic.

  Under the calmness of the Soul Power, Qin Yu barely controlled one-tenth of it, but now it has completely gone out of control, and Qin Yu was also panicked.

  At this moment, a mid-term cultivator of the demonic path was slowly flying over from afar, his spiritual sense radiating out in a domineering manner. Following its direction, he was heading straight for Qin Yu's location. With Qin Yu's chaotic soul power at this moment, it would be impossible to escape the cultivator's probing.

  "According to the wanted notice, it's highly likely that the cultivator is within this hundred thousand li radius. That idiot Sang Mo can't even catch a cultivator who hasn't even reached the Yuan Ying stage." A large man with a single horn on his head flew in rapidly, coldly snorting.
