Above all spirits

Chapter 377 The Secret Code of Eternal Night (Part 1)

Seeing that Chen Yuan had exposed her identity, Yunyin turned to Gu Yun and winked.

She didn't want to talk to Gu Yun for the next ten minutes.

Therefore, he could only express his slight dissatisfaction by blinking.

Gu Yun understood, simply shrugged, and said.

"I didn't say that."

"He's the cultivation mentor I found for Bai Qing'er."

"Impressive. It's not normal that I could tell your identity."

Yunyin was somewhat surprised that a child who looked like a junior high school student could have such a level of skill. Her curiosity grew, and she immediately put her "vow" out of her mind.

However, because Chen Yuan had a natural way of concealing his aura, Yun Yin could not discern Chen Yuan's true strength.

"what?"

"he?"

"What ability does he have that's so amazing?"

"If he can do it, I feel like I can too."

Yunyin's question also voiced the doubts in everyone's hearts, especially Feng Xian'er, who almost planned to personally teach Bai Qing'er cultivation, but was intercepted halfway by Chen Yuan, so she was naturally a little unwilling.

As a pseudo-innate expert, she would naturally have no objection if the Demon Lord personally taught her, but she was somewhat unwilling to have a child take her place as Bai Qing'er's mentor. She was also curious about Chen Yuan's abilities.

Gu Yun did not respond to the crowd. The fewer people who knew about Chen Yuan's rebirth, the better. He did not intend to tell Yun Yin either, simply because Yun Yin could not keep a secret. This girl was empty inside and could not hide things. Sometimes she would blurt things out.

Gu Yun slowly turned around, a glint in his eyes, as if he were hinting at something to Chen Yuan.

"It's nothing, I just know a lot of things."

"You should have a plan for the most suitable cultivation path for Bai Qing'er, right?"

"Professor Chen."

Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, since Gu Yun had not mentioned it to him beforehand.

He immediately realized that Gu Yun was not only taking advantage of him for free, but also testing him. As the person who was once closest to Bai Qing'er, he should know Bai Qing'er's techniques and the points that needed to be paid attention to in cultivation.

He gave a wry smile; he didn't expect to gain Gu Yun's trust in such a short time.

Furthermore, she couldn't refuse, because even if Gu Yun didn't say it, she would indirectly hint at it for Bai Qing'er's sake. Not to mention, this was also a good reason for Gu Yun to stay by Bai Qing'er's side.

Even he hadn't thought of this reason at first, and was worrying about what excuse he could use to frequently appear by Bai Qing'er's side.

Now that the problem has been solved, Chen Yuan wanted to be happy, but his face didn't show any joy.

Since it was Gu Yun who brought it up, he could imagine Gu Yun constantly asking him questions in the days that followed.

"Have."

Chen Yuan simply replied with a single word to indicate his agreement with Gu Yun's suggestion.

"Eh~"

Yunyin was clearly unhappy with Gu Yun's perfunctory answer, and immediately hugged Gu Yun's hand tightly, clinging to Gu Yun's side like an octopus.

"What's this? I know quite a lot too. I don't care. You have to tell me honestly today why you let a little kid teach Qing'er."

"Sister Xian'er and Brother Lin Tong are just as good, aren't they?"

Upon seeing this, Feng Xian'er and Lin Tong were immediately embarrassed, their eyes darting away, and sweat suddenly broke out on their foreheads.

One second they were cheering for Yunyin in their hearts, and the next they were complaining non-stop. They said, "We're not sisters, but can you please not drag us into this? You're the only one in the entire Demon Realm who dares to treat Gu Yun like this. We don't dare."

Before its current fame, the Heavenly Demon was known for its dreadful reputation, a reputation it maintained for centuries.

Chen Yuan was also slightly speechless, instantly raising Yun Yin's status in his mind to the highest level, directly listing her as the second most dangerous person in the world, the first being Gu Yun, who was a Heavenly Demon.

However, conversely, if it can help Yunyin in the future, it seems like a good bargaining chip to get what one needs.

Gu Yun flicked Yun Yin's forehead helplessly, telling her to be a little more mindful of her image, since there were still outsiders present.

"Chen Yuan, just briefly explain the origin of the technique you plan to teach Bai Qing'er. I think that a technique that can shine on the battlefield cannot be some nameless technique."

"Speaking of which, I'm starting to want to learn about the cultivation techniques in the lower realms, even though my current techniques are all limited to the pseudo-innate level."

Gu Yun's implied meaning was quite clear.

Those who know will understand immediately, while others who don't know the situation will be completely confused.

Gu Yun didn't care about the mental cultivation methods, techniques, forbidden arts, and other secret manuals in the lower realms, not only because he possessed a demonic body, but more importantly because the most advanced techniques in the lower realms were at most pseudo-innate, so it was better to follow the path of the demon race.

The cultivation of demons and gods is actually somewhat similar to that of the demon race. Both are based on the power and talents of their own race, and are progressively deepened until they finally condense their own domain.

The difference lies in their levels of power. The demon race focuses more on the physical body, while gods and demons are based on authority. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

Therefore, apart from some powerful demons, many demons also cultivate magic.

However, if the situation in Chen Yuan's later life is true, it proves that the beings in the lower realms of later generations also developed cultivation methods and mental techniques that correspond to the same level as gods and demons.

No, that's not right.

These techniques and mental methods should have existed long ago. If we were to create something new from scratch, how could we possibly have the time? No matter how extraordinary the talent, it would be impossible.

At this moment, Gu Yun thought of the Heavenly Court ruins that Hua Qiandao had mentioned.

Long ago, there were no restrictions on beings from the lower realm ascending to the upper realm, and some techniques applicable to the upper realm would inevitably have a way of being passed on.

Within some dominant forces in the lower realms, there must exist one or two cultivation techniques applicable to higher ranks.

Combined with the realm planning of the Xiao Li system.

Gu Yun guessed that the beings in the lower realms were probably centered around the so-called "Dao," which corresponded to the power of rules that gods and demons yearned for.

They truly arrived at the same destination by different paths.

However, those in the lower realms who possess imperial will should find it easier to master the power of rules.

Because the Emperor's will is meant to allow you to indirectly use the power of the rules.

Since you have been indirectly using the power of rules, you will naturally become more familiar with this power. This will allow you to break through the limitations and truly obtain the power of rules after reaching a certain level.

Otherwise, why would the gods and demons of the upper realm be so enthusiastic about the imperial will of the lower realm? They must have discovered some kind of shortcut.

Chen Yuan looked around at the people around him and nodded.

"The cultivation method most suitable for Bai Qing'er is jointly controlled by the Su Clan, one of the Star Alliance members, and the Reincarnation Sect..."
