Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1125: Chapter 400: Supreme Treasure—Dao Heart Devil Seed [Monthly Pass Requested]_4

"Not good!"

Ji Yuan instinctively thought of using mana to force it out.

But this demonic aura was like a part of his body, disappearing without a trace like a mud bull sinking into the sea.

Ji Yuan panicked a bit and hurriedly checked his Dantian and sea of consciousness, two critical locations.

But there was not a trace of any clue.

Couldn’t find it... Does it mean it was absorbed by the body?

But I am now in the late-stage Muscle Forging Realm as a Body Cultivator. If this demonic aura really entered my body, I should easily be able to detect it. But why can’t I find a trace?

Ji Yuan is not afraid of it entering his body, but afraid that once inside, he couldn’t even find it.

Damn it.

Could the Nightmare True Monarch have set a trap for me even at death?

Could it be that what’s nurtured in this Blood Pool is not a treasure but a toxin?

But if that’s really the case, could those Nascent Soul Cultivators also fail to detect it?

Impossible, this should be a treasure, just that I haven’t found it yet or figured out how to use it.

Otherwise, if it truly wanted to harm me, it could have done so the instant it entered my body.

After calming down, Ji Yuan carefully checked the situation inside his body, inside and out.

Before long, he noticed something abnormal.

This strand of demonic aura seemed to deliberately expose its location, gently trembling.

Ji Yuan immediately locked onto its position within himself.

In the deepest part of his soul, there floated the black seed he had seen before.

... It turned out, it’s hiding here.

After Ji Yuan sensed it, the black seed trembled slightly once more, and an information was conveyed from it.

"Heart Demon Seed..."

"Is this the true name of the treasure?"

After a brief perception, Ji Yuan quickly understood the specific functions of this Heart Demon Seed.

"Subtly influence, and control invisibly."

On a detailed note, this Heart Demon Seed has three major functions.

The first is "Planting Demon," which can stealthily plant the demon seed into the opponent’s soul and gradually amplify their inner demons and desires in the early stages, making it extremely hard to detect.

As time passes, this demon seed will grow, continuously magnifying the cultivator’s inner demon and desires, until they are utterly consumed by their desires, ultimately leading to their demise.

The second is "Heart Control," which is actually a continuation of "Planting Demon."

As the demon seed grows, Ji Yuan, as the master of the demon seed, can gradually influence or even control the opponent’s thoughts and actions, making them a compliant "puppet," seemingly unchanged to outsiders.

This ability is far more effective than creating corpse puppets.

Because once succeeded, it’s like having a compliant subordinate who will never betray.

And unlike corpse puppets, which are lifeless, those who have undergone demon planting remain living beings!

"It seems that in the future, I could truly become an Old Demon of the Cultivation Realm? I won’t make a move myself, but everyone around the world would be mine."

Ji Yuan daydreamed joyfully.

First "Planting Demon," then "Heart Control," leading to the third function, known as "Bloom and Fruition."

Only after Ji Yuan saw these three effects did he realize how terrifying this Heart Demon Seed truly is.

When the soul of the one affected by demon planting collapses, or during a breakthrough in cultivation, Ji Yuan, as the master of the demon seed, can choose whether to "Bloom."

Once chosen, the demon seed will instantly "bloom" within the opponent, devouring all their cultivation, divine soul, and even Nascent Soul, and finally transforms into a fruit to be given back to the master of the demon seed.

This effect is undoubtedly terrifying.

Upon understanding fully, Ji Yuan developed a bit of fear towards this demon seed.

"No wonder Nightmare True Monarch said that obtaining the treasure nurtured within this Blood Pool could allow one to dominate the Nascent Soul Stage... Now it seems, not just the Nascent Soul Stage, even Divinity Transformation and Refining Void stages are possible."

Judging by the feedback Ji Yuan received from the demon seed, after "Blooming and Fruition," not only can it benefit Ji Yuan, the master of the demon seed, but it’s also a form of nurturing for the demon seed itself.

In essence, this demon seed can continue to evolve!

"It truly is a valuable item. In hindsight, taking the risk to seize the treasure within the Blood Pool was indeed worthwhile. This Heart Demon Seed justifies the risk."

In that case, what’s there to hesitate over?

Grasp it and instantly refine it!!!

...

Moments later.

Indeed, Ji Yuan refined it, but found that it actually didn’t make much of a difference whether refined or not.

Because in order to activate this Heart Demon Seed, making it plant demonic aura...

At the very least, it requires the cultivation and mana of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"It’s still the Nightmare True Monarch, it wasn’t a lie. This thing can only be played well by Nascent Soul Cultivators... No wonder it is a treasure nurtured by the Sixth Transformation Blood Pool."

Ji Yuan, helpless, had to temporarily put it away, considering it as a means for when he reaches the Nascent Soul Stage.

Hmm... Still a powerful technique.

Once this thing can be used normally, manipulating human hearts and orchestrating plots would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?

Ji Yuan even felt that by then, if he desired, he could easily take over an entire sect bloodlessly with the help of this Heart Demon Seed.

"Hoo—"

Ji Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and placed this demon seed back into the depths of his soul.

The only thing to do for now is to slowly nurture it.

"Why not upgrade the [Spirit Field] first?"

Ji Yuan pondered, realizing that the [Spirit Field] is already stored within the Mountain of Mind and Heart, and with the upgrade materials already gathered, he could choose to upgrade it at any time.

But after some consideration, he decided to abandon the idea.

Upgrading is not urgent.

The [Spirit Field] reaching Level 5... Ji Yuan hasn’t upgraded a Level 5 building yet, [Spirit Field] will be the first.
