Chapter 420 - Monster Raising Mystic Art

"Humph!" Qin Yu coldly snorted and the purple moon in his soul space shined bright . The feeble-minded fool cried out pitifully, fear covering his face . Soon, that person's eyes became empty once more . Qin Yu's divine sense continued with irresistible force and thrust into his body, catching a remnant soul .

Xu Sheng glanced at the motionless Qin Yu . His eyes turned as his thoughts began to race .

"If I were you, I would stay there and not move . " Qin Yu coldly said, his eyes not opening .

Xu Sheng stiffened . He emptily laughed and drew back into the distance, completely suppressing those thoughts .

At this time, Qin Yu moved his finger away . The criminal's body trembled and he fell to the floor .

"Thank…thank you…you…saved me…" These were the man's last words before he died .

Xu Sheng's mouth turned dry . Although this surname Ning wasn't that surname Yao, his methods were equally harsh and ruthless!

Qin Yu sneered . "I didn't kill him…soul hiding technique, me doing this actually saved him . "

At this time, there was suddenly an additional complete law formula within Qin Yu's mind . This was the Monster Raising Mystic Art that the Black Demon Sect had spent so much time and effort in hopes of obtaining .

Originally, when the Giant Monster Sect's entrance had been broken, one of their Elders had braved death and fused with the Monster Raising Mystic Art, and then fused his remnant soul into the body of a disciple using a secret art . Because of this, that disciple had suffered a mental injury, resulting in that feeble-minded appearance .

The Black Demon Sect had gone through so much trouble, destroying the sect and killing countless people, but in the end the true Monster Raising Mystic Art had fallen into Qin Yu's hands . In particular, as he thought about how the Black Demon Sect had supposedly obtained their own 'Monster Raising Mystic Art'…was there any need for to say anything else?

Qin Yu's eyes revealed a bit of disdain . The Black Demon Sect had gone through so much and achieved nothing . If they weren't careful, then perhaps they would suffer a great loss!

After a bit of probing, he discovered that this Monster Raising Mystic Art was truly something that was worth the Black Demon Sect ignoring all consequences to obtain . Qin Yu could see just how precious it was, and obtaining the Monster Raising Mystic Art was a completely happy accident . This Xu Sheng had indeed performed a great merit .

Qin Yu's thoughts turned and he coldly said, "Xu Sheng, I originally thought of finding a chance to eliminate you in the future and avoid any troubles, but since you have given me something so valuable today, I will give you a chance to survive . In the future, continue working well . As long as you are loyal I will let you live . "

Xu Sheng was overjoyed . He fell to his knees and bowed . "Thank you master, thank you master!"

Qin Yu waved his hand, "Leave . "

"Yes, this lowly one will excuse himself . " Xu Sheng drew back before leaving . As he left the main hall he nodded toward Tuba and Tutou, his step much lighter than before .

Tutou frowned . "This boy, did he really have some way to convince the grandmaster?"

At this time, Qin Yu's sound transmission resounded in their ears . "I need to go into seclusion temporarily . I will keep pills for exchanges in the hall . If someone wishes to exchange spirit plants or other things, you may handle it with your own judgment . "

"Yes, grandmaster . " The two bowed and straightened themselves . Tutou had an awkward expression before he let out a long breath of relief, "What a close call…"

Tube glared at him . "If it's something that can have the grandmaster immediately go into seclusion, it can't be minor . Later, remember this, okay?"

Tutou had a glum expression . He nodded .

In his chamber, Qin Yu sat down cross-legged . He lifted a finger and pressed down on the array formation here, activating it and isolating all outside perception .

After finishing this, he closed his eyes and focused his mind, immersing himself in the Monster Raising Mystic Art:

Before the world was opened up, great monsters roamed throughout existence, their prestige and might unimaginable . A single thought was capable of destroying the world . Inadvertently I obtained a fossilized skeleton, and through tens of thousands of years, I finally obtained something . Now my life is coming to an end and it is no longer possible for me to experiment with this technique . I hope that those who come after me may make good use of it, so that my years of blood and sweat will not be lost to time…

The introduction was a simple one that explained the origins of the Monster Raising Mystic Art . Soon after that was the main body of the mystic art . The first sentence caused Qin Yu's heart to shake: By collecting the blood essence of 10,000 beasts and gathering the undying soul remnants throughout the world, one could blend the soul and blood into a body, forming an unsurpassed great monster!

Six hours later, Qin Yu opened his eyes, shock on his face . He was quiet for a long time . If the Five Element Mountain was the broadest and most profound cultivation method he had seen, with infinite variations, then this Monster Raising Art could be called an unsurpassed technique for creating a monster beast body .

By using this monster beast cultivation method, he could gradually complete it over time, finally harvesting a peerless giant monster beast with tyrannical strength! There was even a chance that this giant monster could undergo atavistic reversion and turn back into that terrifying unsurpassed existence which was there before the world opened!

Of course, this sort of cultivation wasn't simple at all . It required him to collect the souls and blood of countless powerful monsters . This blood would be used for the monster beast to expand and grow, and the souls would be used to summon the undying soul of the ancestral monster from between the heavens and earth .

This ancestral monster was that unsurpassed revered monster which existed before the world opened .

The monster beast blood was relatively simple . As long as he hunted down formidable monster beasts he could accomplish this . The difficult part was to summon the soul of the ancestral monster . This was because in order to do this, one needed to draw upon the support of a mysterious treasure and coordinate it with the Monster Raising Mystic Art .

Qin Yu's complexion suddenly changed . He carefully looked through the memories related to this treasure . After thinking for a long time, he flipped his hand and took out his storage ring, and then started to sift through it .

A light flashed in his hand and a severely corroded bell with many small dents appeared . Qin Yu placed it in front of him . Although it looked a bit poor, if he were to wash off the erosion and then fill in the broken parts, this small bell would actually look like the supreme treasure required to summon the soul of the ancestral monster .

Wait .

Could things really be so coincidental?

Qin Yu hesitated and then stimulated the Monster Raising Mystic Art . A trace of aura was drawn out and fell upon the little ruined bell . Then, a clear sound spread out . At this time, Qin Yu could suddenly sense traces of a terrifying aura spread throughout the heavens and earth .

These traces of aura were completely broken and fragmented, all of them reduced to the tiniest of fragments . But even so, in his sense they were like majestic mountains stabbing into the skies, towering without end!

Roar -

A deep roar echoed near Qin Yu's ear, shooting straight into his soul space . His soul violently shook, almost disintegrating . The crescent purple moon shivered and a rich purple light sprinkled down . Bathed in this light, Qin Yu's soul was only then able to stand firm . Even so, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his soul had been wounded!

Qin Yu opened his eyes, pushing the small tattered bell away and Monster Raising Mystic Art away . He restrained his aura and the ringing suddenly stopped .

That roar just now…ancestral monster!

A life born from the heavens and earth, a supreme existence amongst the myriad monsters - it really existed!

Just now, Qin Yu had clearly felt the soul fragments of the ancestral monster scattered throughout the world .

He stared at the small broken bell in his hand, one that if tossed to the side of the road, no one would notice . His eyes filled with disbelief .

Soul Summoning Bell . This was the supremely precious treasure mentioned in the Monster Raising Art, the Soul Summoning Bell!

Even Qin Yu was a bit shocked by it himself . Just what kind of luck did he have? He had been wandering through the Infinite Realm and had found a supreme treasure on the body of a random skeleton . If so, could it be the dark flow of fate that led him to be predestined with this Monster Raising Mystic Art and also this little bell?

The most difficult problem in summoning the soul of the ancestral monster was now no problem at all . The difficulty of the Monster Raising Mystic Art had suddenly dropped by over ten times . In other words, perhaps Qin Yu could soon obtain a terrifyingly powerful giant monster!

"Hahahaha!" Qin Yu heartily laughed . If fate was coming your way, you couldn't block it even if you wanted to . He cultivated the Five Element Mountain and now he even had the Monster Raising Mystic Art . As long as he had enough time he would surely become a mighty figure that could control rains and winds in his hand .

Immortal Sect, so what? There would be a day when they paid the price!

Qin Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and then carefully put away the Soul Summoning Bell . Right now, this supreme soul treasure really gave off a far too fragile feeling .

Of course, this was only an illusion . Even if Qin Yu used all of his strength he could give up any hopes of trying to damage it .

The heavens had bestowed him the Monster Raising Mystic Art and the complete conditions for cultivating it . Qin Yu had no reason to refuse it . He didn't even need to prepare monster beasts .

In the past he had obtained Purpleback Bluewing Ants from Immortal Eclipse Valley and they had been a considerable help to him . Unfortunately, they weren't able to keep up with his speed of growth and gradually lost their chance to step onto the stage . But now with the Monster Raising Mystic Art, there would be a day soon when they could shine in splendor .

Of course, the name of Purpleback Bluewing Ant was not too appropriate . Right now they should be called Yinyang Twin Ants . But soon, they would clearly receive a brand new name .

Qin Yu closed his eyes in meditation . With the help of pills he soon restored the damage to his soul . Then, he stood up and walked out .

"Greetings, Grandmaster Yao!" Several Black Demon Sect disciples were currently trading spirit plants . They hurried and bowed .

Qin Yu nodded . He didn't pause and soon vanished from sight .

An hour later, Qin Yu's complexion sank . He emerged from the Black Demon Hall's Exchange Hall . This was where the cultivators of the sect exchanged for all sorts of sect treasure, and what they exchanged with were sect contributions points .

Thanks to Grandmaster Yao, Qin Yu was able to use many contribution points . But though he came in high spirits, he soon left dejected .

The Monster Raising Mystic Art cultivated monster beasts and required the blood and souls of formidable monster beasts .

Originally there were great stockpiles of monster beast blood and souls in the Black Demon Sect, but when he came to exchange for them, he discovered that all of the high-level monster beast souls and blood had been prohibited by the sect and no more exchanges could be done .

It seemed that the fake Monster Raising Mystic Art that the Black Demon Sect obtained was extremely well put together . It must follow the highest quality standard of fakes about showing nine truths and one lie .

The high level figures of the Black Demon Sect should know by now the importance of high level monster beast souls and blood .

Qin Yu bitterly smiled . He thought that the Giant Monster Sect's forgery skills were quite exquisite, otherwise how could they fool the high level figures of the Black Demon Sect and allow him to obtain the true version in the end?

Thinking about it this way, most of the sadness in his heart dissipated . Qin Yu didn't stay any longer; he quickly returned to his dwelling .

The peerless great monster cultivated from the Monster Raising Mystic Art required more than the blood and souls of powerful monster beasts . It also required other supportive treasures to cultivate the foundation of one's own monster beast . Only with a formidable foundation could a monster beast smoothly swallow and fuse with the blood and souls of others .

Since he couldn't find any high level souls or blood right now, he might as well prepare some pills to help promote the Purpleback Bluewing Ants [for now he would refer to them as such] and increase their talent . When he obtained souls and blood in the future, he could then easily complete the fusion process .

However, the fact that the Black Demon Sect blocked the purchase of high level monster beast souls and blood served as a warning to Qin Yu . If he recklessly purchased pills used to cultivate monster beasts or materials used to refine the pills, then he feared he would be found out by the Black Demon Sect . Thus, he couldn't purchase the materials . Or, it could be better said that he couldn't do it himself .

Qin Yu took out a jade slip and slowly recorded the pills stated in the Monster Raising Mystic Art for the first step of cultivating a monster beast . He slowly listed them out and also made detailed notes of the respective materials . He lost himself in contemplation for a long time . Then, he looked up and rubbed his temples, a smile on his face .

There shouldn't be a problem .

Qin Yu split the required materials into three . One portion was one that he would purchase himself . This was because these materials were commonly used in refining demonic pills and no one could assume anything from that .

The second part would be given to Tuba or Tutou . They would shrink their bodies and alter their appearances and then leave the Black Demon Sect to purchase them .

The final part would be passed to Xu Sheng . This person's life was controlled by him so he absolutely would not betray him . Moreover, he had been in the Black Demon Sect for so many years and likely had many personal connections and relations with numerous people . If he were to quietly collect some materials, it shouldn't be too difficult .

When these three parts separated, as long as he was a bit more careful he shouldn't be discovered .

With that, it was time to begin . He directly summoned Xu Sheng and at the same time called in Tuba . This was because Tuba's disposition was relatively calmer and he was much more suitable for handling things like this . "Tuba, take my token, change your appearance, and then leave the Black Demon Sect . Secretly collect the materials listed in this jade slip . Remember to be careful and not draw the attention of others . If you discover something is amiss, go somewhere else and begin gathering again . "

Tuba fell to his knees and received the jade slip in both hands . "Rest assured Your Highness that Tuba will be careful!"

Without a single additional word he turned and left .

Qin Yu revealed a look of appreciation . Tuba might seem rough and uncouth, but the reality was that he was extremely intelligent and thoughtful . If he gave this matter to him to handle, he could feel relieved .
