Li Xiaonan stared at the ceiling, lost in thought once again about his imprisonment by the Demon Emperor. He had no complaints about it; his mood was low, and aside from daydreaming, his clever mind could think of no other way to pass the time.
Where had Lu Ni Chang gone? When had she started seeing someone else? Logically, it should have been after his ascension.
From what the Demon Emperor had said, it seemed that girl was no longer in the Underworld. Where could she possibly be?
Damn it, could it be that the guy she liked was also a demon? Which scoundrel had put a green hat on him?
He vowed to send that guy packing and see if Lu Ni Chang still liked him.
Sigh... No, if it came to that, Lu Ni Chang would be heartbroken...
Li Xiaonan irritably sat up and scratched his head.
A soft clatter caught his attention; it was the demon horn he had been holding that had fallen to the ground.
He sighed lightly and bent down to pick it up, muttering to himself, "Fei Ji, I wonder how she's doing in the demon realm. It must be chaotic there now."
He shook his head helplessly, but as his fingers brushed against the headband, his body suddenly stiffened.
No way.
Could it be that Lu Ni Chang had also gone to the demon realm? This reasoning seemed to make the most sense.
The Underworld was only connected to the demon realm...
I have to go to the Demon Realm, no matter what.
He picked up the headband, stuffed it into his pocket, and suddenly stood up, banging his head against the top of the bed, finally waking himself up.
No, I can't just leave. That petty Demon Emperor won't let me off so easily.
I've been fooled once before.
I can't possibly defeat him. Hmm, I should focus on my cultivation first.
I refuse to believe this! Once I master the Martial Soul Technique, Swallowing Heaven Avenue, and Spatial Magic Path to their peak levels, then I'll make my escape.
If I still can't fight against someone at the Emperor level after that, then it must be fate that wants me gone.
Interestingly enough, these three techniques are divided into seven realms each.
The previously chaotic Spatial Magic Path was reorganized by Yun Xinghe and recorded anew on the Jade Eye Tablet for Li Xiaonan to comprehend.
Aside from the Martial Soul Technique, which Li Xiaonan has already cultivated to the sixth realm, he has only reached the fourth realm in the other two techniques.
After thinking it over, he decided to start with the Spatial Magic Path first.
After all, this technique is the hardest to learn.
However, thanks to Yun Xinghe's organization, understanding it has become the easiest among the three techniques.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath. The Golden Yuan Power in his Dantian instantly glowed with a blue light and transformed into Magic Essence.
Drops of blue liquid floated up from beneath the Lotus Seat and moved erratically yet orderly in front of his Yuan Ying.
This represented the positions and trajectories of planets in the universe.
Li Xiaonan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and gradually opened his eyes.
If someone were facing him at that moment, they would surely be terrified.
His originally bright and beautiful black eyes had completely vanished, leaving only a pair of eerie white sclerae.
As he continued to comprehend and cultivate, pupils reappeared in Li Xiaonan's eye sockets; however, they were no longer black but a pair of silver eyes.
At the same time, his straight back began to swell, growing a pinkish flesh ball from which something could occasionally be seen wriggling inside.
Li Xiaonan paid no mind to these changes. Since this was a technique of the demon race, some bodily changes were normal.
His hands continually formed strange seals as dark long nails gradually grew on his clean and slender fingers.
In the Underworld, there was neither time nor day, nor night.
What he did not know was how unique the room where Lu Nishang had originally stayed was.
The Demon Emperor had always doted on his daughter, and this room was a still space he had created using the power of an entire realm.
This meant that although Li Xiaonan practiced tirelessly without distinction between day and night, for the outside world, the second hand of time had never moved even a fraction.
It must be said that fate had been quite kind to Li Xiaonan, allowing him to turn misfortune into fortune.
When he awoke from his meditation, he had completely lost his former appearance.
Li Xiaonan sat on the ground, gazing at his reflection in the mirror. His black hair framed silver eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly in a cold smirk.
A crimson tongue flicked out from between his lips, bloodthirstily licking his long black nails, while behind him, Nine Pairs of Black Flesh Wings swayed leisurely.
After a long moment, he muttered, "Damn it, who am I trying to disgust with this?"
He shook his hair and flapped his wings, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original form.
With a light sigh, he lay flat on the floor in a star shape, grumbling to himself: "I've already become a demon lord; why hasn't my Spatial Magic Path broken through to the sixth layer yet?"
Forget it; let's try Swallowing Heaven Avenue instead.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and once again sat cross-legged in meditation.
The liquid True Essence in his Dantian transformed once more into a pool of dark energy.
At the same time, strands of black Ghostly Aura began to rise from Li Xiaonan's body.
He flipped his hands and formed a hand seal before suddenly opening his mouth wide as a torrent of air surged into Li Xiaonan's mouth.
After a long while, Li Xiaonan cursed inwardly: "Where's all the Spiritual Energy? Why is it so thin?"
This is going to starve me!
As he kept his mouth open, he pulled out a large number of spirit stones from the Seven-Level Pagoda and began to devour them hungrily.
Not enough—definitely not enough!
His gaze swept over to the Soul Ring on his index finger.
Right! I still have Celestial Stones!
At that moment, Li Xiaonan had completely lost his mind; regardless of what it was, he ate everything in sight.
His stomach was no longer flesh and blood but had transformed into a black vortex.
Anything swallowed was instantly consumed by this black hole and turned into purest Ghost Energy that dripped into the dark pool beneath the Lotus Seat.
As Li Xiaonan ate more and more, the darkness of the pool in his Dantian deepened further and further.
His right hand continued to form the retrieval hand seal as he incessantly fed Celestial Stones from the Soul Ring into his mouth.
Before long, he realized that things were looking very grim...
Celestial Stone was finished. How could it be that Celestial Stone was already gone?
He scanned his surroundings with his spiritual sense, retrieving all the elixirs without opening the jade bottles, swallowing them whole instead.
This is bad. If I keep eating like this, I’ll run out of all my possessions.
With the Celestial Stone consumed and the spiritual energy in the world insufficient, he could only pin his hopes on the elixirs now.
Damn it, no wonder Underworld is so poor; it turns out it’s all because of practicing Swallowing Heaven Avenue, consuming everything in sight.
I have to admit, Li Xiaonan’s casual remarks hit the nail on the head.
The resource scarcity in Underworld is indeed closely related to Swallowing Heaven Avenue.
Practicing Swallowing Heaven Avenue is safe and doesn’t easily lead to deviation; the requirements for cultivation are extremely low. The only requirement is to eat.
Eat with all your might.
The more you eat, the faster you cultivate.
Back when the Demon Clan invaded Underworld, the Demon Emperor allowed all the Demon Generals to comprehend Swallowing Heaven Avenue in order to quickly enhance their strength.
The results were quite impressive.
The Demon Generals saw that demons could devour demons and still improve their cultivation, making Swallowing Heaven Avenue immediately become the top cultivation manual in Underworld.
However, when the demon army began to retreat, the aftereffects of Swallowing Heaven Avenue turned out to be even worse than the invasion itself, nearly collapsing Underworld.
Several Spiritual Veins dried up under the cultivation of hundreds of Demon Generals, and after a thousand years, not a single piece of spiritual stone had been produced.
As the leader of the Carefree Dual Cultivation Group, the Demon Emperor made a decisive decision to consume these brave souls, but it was already too late. Underworld had become a barren land, devoid of life and resources.
And Rich Person Li Xiaonan, due to practicing Swallowing Heaven Avenue, had once again turned into a pauper.
It could be said that writing impoverished one’s life while being a glutton ruined three generations.
At this moment, aside from some materials for refining tools and pills along with a few spiritual stones, there was nothing valuable left on Li Xiaonan’s person.
Fortunately, the black hole in his abdomen had gradually stopped spinning and slowly condensed into a smooth black pearl.
He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; this pearl was a symbol of about to break through to the sixth level of Underworld, known as the spiritual pearl.
It also had another name: Evil Fetus.
Once a new life form hatched within the pearl, practitioners of Swallowing Heaven Avenue would achieve longevity equal to that of heaven itself, attaining immortality.
Thinking about this made Li Xiaonan feel a bit excited.
He flipped his hands over, ready for further breakthroughs when suddenly, the door was pushed open.
The Demon Emperor, looking at Li Xiaonan, who was surrounded by a ghostly aura, exclaimed in shock, “You… you actually practiced Swallowing Heaven Avenue, and you’ve already formed an embryonic pearl!”
Li Xiaonan felt a dark line appear on his forehead as he muttered to himself, "What kind of secret pregnancy is this, making it seem like I'm the one who's pregnant?"
He swallowed hard and said, "Ahem, then I must thank you, Demon Emperor, for the bestowed cultivation method. By the way, I promised to deliver spirit stones to you every year, but unfortunately, I haven't fulfilled that promise."
The Demon Emperor finally snapped out of his shock and sneered, "So you've finally remembered? You stole my daughter and then broke your promise."
Li Xiaonan smiled lightly, too lazy to argue with him. He directly took out three Storage Belts and filled them with spirit stones from the Seven-Level Pagoda, counting at least a hundred thousand.
He then retrieved two jars of Monkey Wine from his Soul Ring and said, "Here are the spirit stones I promised you earlier, and these two jars of wine are my apology."
"Oh, so you know you've made a mistake. Why don't you tell me what your mistake was?" The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up one jar of Monkey Wine, opened it, sniffed it with satisfaction, and took a big gulp.
Seeing an opportunity, Li Xiaonan quickly used a teleportation technique to dash out of the room.
The Demon Emperor was momentarily stunned before he couldn't help but laugh. "Ah, that kid fell for it again. But does he really think he can escape from my Five Finger Mountain in the Underworld?"
With a cold smile, he finished the jar of wine in one go and teleported out.
Li Xiaonan was startled when the Demon Emperor suddenly appeared in front of him but knew this was to be expected.
The Demon Emperor chuckled, "This wine is not bad. You should stop running around. Lu Ni Chang isn't here; why don't you stay here and have some fun with me?"
"Ahem, that's hard to do," Li Xiaonan replied. Regardless of whether Lu Ni Chang had fallen for someone else or not, he needed to clarify things.
If she had indeed fallen for someone else, he would let them be. If not, whoever forced Lu Ni Chang would have to pay.
The Demon Emperor looked at Li Xiaonan, who exuded a strong Ghostly Aura, and couldn't help but frown slightly. When did this kid become so formidable? It was truly unwise to leave him in Lu Ni Chang's room; it was too generous for him.
"Hmph! Do you think reaching the sixth level makes you impressive?" The Demon Emperor clapped his hands together, unleashing an immense pressure toward Li Xiaonan.
The latter frowned and retorted, "Flower Rubbing again? Are you out of tricks?"
He slightly curled his body before suddenly stretching out, flapping his Eighteen Wings to create a cyclone that forcefully pushed back the Demon Emperor's Underworld power using his understanding of Spatial Power.
The Demon Emperor exclaimed, "What exactly are you, you little brat from the demon race?"
"Guess."
"Hmph, go die!"
"I'm going!" Li Xiaonan said as he looked at the incoming light, shielding himself with his wings and retreating rapidly.
