"Zhuqing, cheer up."
"The Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique is not an ordinary cultivation method; it is a method that, when cultivated to its peak, is enough to make your Spirit comparable to a god's Spirit."
"You already know that Slaughter City is a place of divine inheritance, but do you know what Asura truly is?"
"Asura, is it a god? Asura, neither Buddha nor demon, is a demon god."
"And the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique is precisely what can maximize the Hell Civet Spirit's inherent demonic power, transforming it into a Heavenly Devil. Once it achieves great success, when the Demon Cat emerges, it will blot out the sky, strike fear into all laws, and suppress all evil and maliciousness."
"But you must remember, magic cultivates demons, but demons are not evil. Evil thoughts corrupt and make one lose control, while demons are about expressing one's true nature, from beginning to end…"
As Su Ran imparted the technique, the Nine Nether Spirit Cat Spirit materialized behind him, several hundred meters tall, covered in dark golden patterns, like an extraterrestrial demon, a Dharma form encompassing heaven and earth. It slammed a palm towards Slaughter City, as if the end of the world was nigh.
All the citizens of Slaughter City trembled at this moment, kneeling on one knee towards the Slaughter King's throne, and stammered:
"Respected Slaughter King, we are willing to surrender. Please do not destroy Slaughter City!"
…
"O-o-o-old… Old Teacher, quickly withdraw this divine ability!"
Feeling the terrifying power, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who had run out of the Slaughter Hall, looked at the giant demon cat in the dark sky and stammered.
What kind of heaven-defying technique was Teacher teaching now?
Even while resting inside, they could feel a world-ending pressure descending.
Was this truly a power a Spirit Master could possess?
"This… This is the power of the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique? So powerful."
Even the Asura Demon Sword at the top of the Slaughter Hall was resonating.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened. She finally understood the value of the three cultivation methods Teacher had prepared for her.
Whether it was the Ten Halls of Yama or the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique, both could cause a qualitative change in her Hell Civet, and both could make her a powerful Spirit Master!
And now, cultivating both the Ten Halls of Yama and the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique simultaneously, a path to the extreme of the Nine Nether Demonic Dao was laid before her eyes.
"If the Ten Halls of Yama and the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique are both so powerful, then wouldn't the Azure Underworld Dao secret art, which Teacher has been reluctant to teach, be even more formidable?"
Zhu Zhuqing muttered, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Su Ran, but then she worried about being hit by Teacher's stick:
I wonder when Teacher will be willing to teach us this mysterious cultivation method?
"Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique? Such a familiar name?"
"What? Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique? Zhuqing, Teacher taught you the other two secret arts? What about the Azure Underworld Dao?!"
As soon as Ning Rongrong heard Zhu Zhuqing's exclamation, she instantly woke up, something clicked in her mind, and she quickly walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side and asked.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head:
"I want to learn it too, but Teacher won't teach it."
"I don't care, Teacher, you've already taught Zhuqing two demonic techniques, I want to learn one too. I want to learn that Azure Underworld Dao."
Ning Rongrong pulled Su Ran's wrist and whined.
To be honest, she had coveted this technique for a long time.
Ye Lingling and Xiao Wu, these later disciples, didn't know about this cultivation method. Seeing their senior sister wanting to learn it so much, a hint of curiosity arose in their hearts, and they couldn't help but ask Zhu Zhuqing:
"Senior Sister Zhuqing, what kind of secret technique is the Azure Underworld Dao? Is it very powerful? This is the first time I've seen Senior Sister chase after Teacher to learn a cultivation method."
Zhu Zhuqing was a little embarrassed to answer, stammering:
"It's just… well, how should I put it, I'm not sure what this secret art is for, but if you want to learn it, it probably requires intimate teaching from Teacher. As for how exactly it's taught, I'm not sure."
"Intimate teaching?"
"How intimate?"
"I want to learn."
Curiosity also flickered in Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling's eyes.
"Learn, learn, they want to learn everything."
"They haven't even fully mastered the Inch Punch and Indestructible Body they're currently learning."
On this side, Su Ran ended his demonstration, handed the mental and cultivation methods of the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique to Zhu Zhuqing, and disciplined them one by one.
The disciples' conduct would sooner or later be led astray by these two girls.
"Mastery, mastery, is mastering secret arts that important? It's not as good as being mastered by Teacher."
Ning Rongrong looked at Teacher resentfully, pouting and muttering.
In fact, after the battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena, that life-and-death experience, she had been pondering a question for the past two days.
Is becoming stronger, learning, truly the most important thing in her heart?
In life, is there anything more meaningful, more important than developing her family, revitalizing her Spirit, and becoming a peerless powerhouse?
"Alright, little Lingling, little Zhuqing, the Life and Death Illusion and the Celestial Demon Creation Grand Technique have both been imparted to you. Our business in Slaughter City is concluded. In a few days, once Slaughter City stabilizes, we should go hunt for spirit rings and return to the Academy."
"Everyone go back and rest."
Su Ran comforted his students.
His gaze, however, turned towards the direction of Peach Garden Academy.
It had been one or two years since he left the Academy. He wondered how the girls at the Academy were progressing with their cultivation?
…
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling bowed slightly to Teacher and returned to the Slaughter Hall.
Hu Liena hid in a corner, peeking.
Only Ning Rongrong remained motionless.
Xiao Wu tugged at her:
"Senior Sister Rongrong, let's go back and rest. Teacher must be tired after imparting the technique."
Ning Rongrong nodded, signaling: "You guys go to sleep first, I still have something to tell Teacher."
"Alright."
Xiao Wu was a little worried, looking back every few steps, not understanding what Senior Sister Rongrong wanted to do.
Seeing the figures of her three junior sisters disappear through the door of the Slaughter Hall.
Only then did Ning Rongrong take a step forward, hesitating to speak.
In the night, Su Ran stood at the edge of the platform, looking out, with the entire Slaughter City spread out beneath his feet. He was about to turn and ask if his disciple Ning Rongrong had any other questions.
He heard a light footsteps, followed by a fragrant, jade-like body embracing Teacher's back, a pair of rather well-developed 'bunnies' colliding.
This caused Teacher Su Ran to tremble all over, and he quickly said:
"Rongrong, what's wrong? Quickly let go of Teacher, what if your other junior sisters see this?"
"I won't! I just won't!"
From behind, Ning Rongrong's stubborn voice came. Her hands, instead, hugged him tighter, her index fingers tightly intertwined over Su Ran's abdomen:
"What's wrong with hugging Teacher? So what if they see? What can they do?"
"It's either a knock on the head or a slap on the hand. Can't Teacher be a little more original? You only use that to scare us."
"Anyway, I've figured it out. Everyone dies eventually, sooner or later. What's the path of a powerful person, what's respecting your teacher and revering the Dao? Rather than waiting until I'm old and faded, wasting my best years and youth to regret it, it's better to be brave and have no regrets."
"Teacher, even if you want to smash my palm this time, or knock my head silly, I still want to say it."
"I just like Teacher!"
"I want to have a sweet relationship with Teacher, have children, and live happily ever after. I don't care about the teacher-student barrier at all!"
