He slightly moved his thoughts and clicked the (+) icon.
A prompt immediately popped up on the system panel.
[Ding! Does the host want to spend 5000 points of Demonic Charm to upgrade this cultivation method?]
"Eh... Can it be directly used to improve the cultivation method?"
Su Ming was momentarily stunned, then a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
The "Demon Emperor Sutra" is the cultivation method passed down through the generations in the Infinite Demon Palace, containing the secret to becoming an emperor.
Only the direct descendants of the emperor’s bloodline are qualified to access it.
This cultivation method is vast, and in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, countless eyes covet it.
Even though Su Ming had the qualifications to cultivate it, due to his current strength and status, he could only learn the first three layers of the method.
It is said that even his father, the Infinite Demon Emperor, had only cultivated up to the ninth layer. He could never reach the supreme level due to lacking an understanding of the union between heaven and man.
As for Su Ming, even with his direct bloodline, obtaining the subsequent methods was not so easy, even with his father’s position.
"My 'Demon Emperor Sutra' has already reached the bottleneck of the third layer, but without the subsequent methods, I don’t know if it can be directly improved?"
Su Ming thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.
Normally, if he wanted to get the later layers, he would have to return to the Demon Realm and make a huge contribution to have a chance to be taught.
And making such a contribution... was not an easy task.
If lucky, it might take three to five years; if unlucky, it could take hundreds of years.
Because of this, even within the Demon Realm, many direct descendants hadn’t cultivated the "Demon Emperor Sutra" or had only used it as an auxiliary method.
Su Ming’s thoughts turned, and his divine sense gently touched the (+) icon.
The system prompt sounded again.
[Ding! 5000 points of Demonic Charm have been consumed, and the cultivation method progress has increased.]
*Boom!*
Su Ming’s body shook violently.
In the next moment, a terrifying force surged out from within him, instantly filling his limbs and bones.
This force was extremely violent, and within moments, it shattered Su Ming's meridians.
But then, the residual power quickly began to heal his body.
This cycle repeated three times.
Within the palace, spiritual energy surged.
Su Ming was enveloped in a cocoon of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy, like fine threads, wrapped around his body, changing him bit by bit.
Half an hour later,
Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes.
A golden light exploded in front of him, turning into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
He let out a long breath and then revealed a look of joy.
"It’s done!"
"My 'Demon Emperor Sutra' has broken through to the fourth layer!"
Realizing this, Su Ming was overjoyed.
He felt the power within him.
A terrifying aura spread from his body.
Upon closer inspection, Su Ming realized that all his meridians, organs, and bones seemed to have undergone a transformation, being destroyed and then reforged for three times.
Now, his organs and bones were crystal-clear, like glass.
An almost imperceptible Dao rhyme flowed within him, and the Primal True Demon Heart, which hadn’t belonged to him, seemed to reveal a faint image, with ancient texts and landscapes, full of various wonders.
"This is..."
"Starting to cultivate innate Dao techniques!?"
Su Ming’s eyes shone brightly.
This upgrade made him feel like he was born anew!
With the "Demon Emperor Sutra" breaking through to the fourth layer,
Su Ming’s cultivation also broke through the limitations of the Profound Cave realm and reached the threshold of the Myriad Laws realm.
Su Ming’s mind stirred, and the palace suddenly became turbulent, with clouds and mist rolling.
This was the power of the Myriad Laws realm!
With a thought, mountains and rivers changed.
"Not bad."
Su Ming was very satisfied: "Now that I’ve reached the Myriad Laws realm, the power of various divine abilities will be significantly improved."
"Of course, the most important thing is that the 'Demon Emperor Sutra' has broken through to the fourth layer."
The "Demon Emperor Sutra," even in the hands of the Infinite Demon Emperor, only had nine complete layers.
Every three layers was a significant hurdle.
Even the extraordinarily talented Infinite Demon Emperor took fifty years to reach the Profound Cave realm.
And now, relying on the Demonic Charm value, Su Ming had instantly achieved this, which made him feel elated.
His gaze again fell on the (+) icon.
"The next layer upgrade requires 50,000 points of Demonic Charm."
"50,000 points?!"
"This has increased tenfold?"
Su Ming was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized this was only to be expected.
After all, such an emperor-level cultivation method would greatly increase in difficulty with each layer.
Compared to that, the tenfold increase in Demonic Charm value consumption wasn’t much.
"I’ll need to accumulate more."
"That’s why, Ye Chen still has great use."
Su Ming smiled like a devil lusting for his prey!
The remaining 5000 points of Demonic Charm were not left behind. Instead, he turned to browse the system shop.
After a moment, Su Ming’s gaze fixed, and he selected an item.
[Immortal Silkworm Dao Technique: Using spiritual energy to condense the immortal silkworm, which resides within the body, devouring vitality and disturbing the mind.
When the immortal silkworm is recalled, it can return the absorbed cultivation to the practitioner.]
This Dao technique involves condensing an immortal silkworm to reside within an ordinary person’s body, absorbing their cultivation.
However, this technique has many limitations, such as the limited number of immortal silkworms that can be condensed, and they can only be recalled when the opponent is broken down, making the process inefficient and slow.
Su Ming already had countless Dao techniques, many of which were far stronger than this one, with even more powerful effects.
However, he was still attracted to this Dao technique.
The reason was in one particular detail...
[Individuals who have the immortal silkworm residing within them can be sensed by the practitioner, making them unable to hide within a certain range.]
Upon seeing this, Su Ming’s eyes brightened, and he decisively exchanged for this Dao technique.
