Chapter 369: Vanished
Hearing Li Musheng say this, Daoist Qingyu hesitated visibly for a moment, but in the end let out a quiet sigh, "Since you insist, this poor nun has no grounds to refuse. Only, that demonic text is exceedingly strange. I ask that you take great care."
"Also, this poor nun will recite the demonic text to you alone. Please do not pass it on to anyone else. Your martial cultivation is profound enough that you may be able to suppress the demonic art, but others lack your level of power and would inevitably fall into the demonic path as I have."
Li Musheng gave a nod to indicate the demonic text would be for his own study and would not be shared with anyone.
Daoist Qingyu then transmitted it through true qi once more, reciting the demonic text to Li Musheng.
Once he had received it, Li Musheng found that on its surface the demonic art was exactly as Daoist Qingyu had described, reading like an extraordinarily profound and mysterious Daoist scripture. But as he gradually examined it further, he found within it certain peculiar and abstruse methods that diverged entirely from orthodox martial cultivation.
Though he did not study it in depth due to time constraints, it was evident that these methods were likely the key to Daoist Qingyu's fall into the demonic path. This led Li Musheng to believe that Daoist Qingyu before him may well have been telling the truth after all.
"Take me to see the Great Xuan emperor's secret chamber."
Having obtained the demonic text, Li Musheng had Daoist Qingyu lead the group deeper into the passageway.
When they arrived at the secret chamber, Li Musheng went through everything inside that the Great Xuan emperor had cultivated, including the Soul-Searching Technique and the rest of the Demonic Patriarch's legacy, examining them all in turn.
