I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 1151: 512: The mother and child method, the loss is more than enough to make up for the deficiency

Chapter 1512: The mother and child method, the loss is more than enough to make up for the deficiency

“Immortal Binding Demonic Art?” Ye Suyi was taken aback; it was the first time she had heard this name. Could this be the name of that forbidden exercise? But how did Gu Changge know about it?

Gu Changge didn’t elaborate much. The Immortal Binding Demonic Art was, in fact, a branch of the Immortal Devouring Demon Art. During his time in the upper realm of the Dao Dhang True Realm, when the Ancient Immortal Continent was opened, he had used the Immortal Binding Demonic Art to control the life and death of all the ancient immortal clans present.

However, the Immortal Binding Demonic Art he employed back then was not the true form of the technique; it could only be regarded as a partial branch evolution. The real Immortal Binding Demonic Art, as the name implies, was originally intended to bind immortals.

The Immortal Binding Demonic Art was divided into core formulas and branch formulas. Cultivators who practiced the core formulas could easily control the life and death of those cultivating the branch formulas. Moreover, they could absorb the cultivation base of these branch cultivators at any time, using it as nutrients.

Gu Changge preferred to refer to this system as the mother method and child method. The mother method was unique, while the child methods, transmitted through the mother method, could evolve into separate “false” mother methods. These “false” mother methods could, in turn, evolve further and give rise to more child methods.

It resembled a mother tree continuously growing branches, with each branch capable of independently producing other branches and leaves. This process could continue endlessly, eventually overshadowing everything else.

Gu Changge was somewhat puzzled as to why the Immortal Binding Demonic Art had appeared in Zixiao Mountain and was considered a taboo technique. He had only taught the Immortal Binding Demonic Art to Chan Hongyi and had never revealed the true form of the technique during his time in the Ancient Immortal Continent. Where had they obtained the Immortal Binding Demonic Art in Zixiao Mountain? Could it be that something had occurred during a period he was unaware of?

“Since you have cultivated the Immortal Binding Demonic Art, then you and I are destined,” he said. “I will now pass on the other part to you.”

Gu Changge returned from his thoughts, glanced at Ye Suyi, and without waiting for her response, pointed at the center of her eyebrows. For a moment, Ye Suyi felt a brilliant light shining down in her dark and profound Soul Palace, transforming into a seed that took root and began to grow there.

“This is the mother seed of the Immortal Binding Demonic Art,” Gu Changge stated lightly.

Ye Suyi’s cultivation was not her own but derived from her cousin, Zi Susu, who had used her as a test subject. However, they were unaware of Ye Suyi’s unique fate, and Zi Susu herself did not cultivate the mother method. Instead, she waited for Ye Suyi to cultivate and then adjusted her own cultivation method based on Ye Suyi’s progress. This process allowed the spiritual energy from Zi Susu’s cultivation to serve as Ye Suyi’s source of nutrition. This was also the reason behind the term “Immortal Binding” in the Immortal Binding Demonic Art.

Moreover, the Immortal Binding Demonic Art itself was quite peculiar. It did not belong to any traditional heavenly skill, nor was it classified as a secret cultivation text. Rather, it was a method of cultivation akin to the way of heaven. It drew from excesses to compensate for deficiencies, depleting one’s life, talent, luck, and other aspects to significantly enhance one’s cultivation.

As a result, cultivators practicing this method often believed it to be a form of cultivation against the heavens. The speed of their cultivation surpassed anything seen in the past or present, which was unprecedented, leading them to become obsessed with it.

In fact, what was lost somewhere was merely her own potential and future.

“Mother seed?” Ye Suyi’s expression remained dazed; she still couldn’t grasp Gu Changge’s meaning. She felt a ray of light behind her Soul Palace, as if she could tap into a hidden reservoir of cultivation power.

Gu Changge nodded, offering no further explanation. If Ye Suyi had a mother seed within her, it was only a matter of time before she comprehended the mysterious essence of the Immortal Binding Demonic Art. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to delve into Ye Suyi’s background.

“Then, can I stay by your side in the future…?” Ye Suyi didn’t dwell on the implications of the mother seed but sensed that Gu Changge’s words implied he would allow her to remain with him. Her expression brightened a bit, though she shyly pinched the corner of her clothes.

Gu Changge nodded slightly.

“I will definitely be obedient in the future and won’t cause trouble for the young master,” she assured him.

Upon hearing Gu Changge’s agreement, Ye Suyi’s happiness surged, sweeping away her previous tension and anxiety.

Gu Changge, however, said nothing more. Instead, he raised his eyes and gazed into the distance, lost in thought. The fog on both sides of the Zigui River thickened, creating a surreal atmosphere. Even at night, it remained brightly lit, surrounded by clouds and mist, with palaces and pavilions suspended high in the sky, though the lively songs from earlier had faded away.

The Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Court, Di Kun, had arrived, and the ensuing battle with the Dao Realm elder beside Chu Xiao had nearly shocked the entire Southern Wilderness Domain. Now that the fight was over, cultivators from many lands were gathering, eager to uncover what had transpired. News of the events was also spreading rapidly to other ancient domains and universes.

Many cultivators had observed that the Dao realm elder of Xian Chu was no match for the Seventh Prince of the Demon Court. With his defeat, his fate remained uncertain; they could only speculate whether he would live or die. The heir of Chu Gucheng, the lord of Xian Chu, was likely in grave danger and might face death.

Of course, many great disciples reveled in this misfortune, eager to applaud the unfolding drama. Back when he was in Lin Shuixuan, Chu Xiao’s impulsiveness had led to the tragic deaths of many innocent cultivators, and he deserved such consequences. Moreover, the conflict between Xian Chu and the Demon Realm had roots in the death of the Ninth Prince of the Demon Realm at the hands of a powerful Xian Chu cultivator. It was only natural for the Seventh Prince of the Demon Realm to seek revenge; there was nothing unjust about it.

While Xian Chu could be considered one of the most powerful forces in Xi Yuan civilization, its background was far less profound and enduring than that of entities like Zixiao Mountain and Yu Xian Palace. However, in recent eras, it had developed extremely quickly and had been excluded and targeted by many other forces.

Now, with Xian Chu engaged in a battle against the Demon Court, these forces were delighted to witness the conflict, hoping for mutual destruction so they could reap the benefits like fishermen waiting to take advantage of the chaos. The fiercer the battle between Xian Chu and the Demon Realm, the happier they would be.

Naturally, some cultivators had also noticed that Chu Xiao from Xian Chu had clashed with the mysterious young man in white, whose identity had been exposed, and then the Seventh Prince of the Demon Court arrived seeking revenge. Wasn’t the timing suspiciously convenient? Or had the Seventh Prince simply been in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain at the right moment?

Speculation ran rampant, with some suspecting that hostile forces within Xian Chu had informed the Demon Court of the situation, knowing the Seventh Prince was nearby. This led to the swift descent of the Seventh Prince.

In summary, the current state of Xi Yuan civilization was one of tension. While the powerful forces appeared outwardly peaceful, beneath the surface, turbulent undercurrents were surging.
