In the past half month, she was busy making plans for Gu Yansui for the next year and a half, so she paid less attention to Qiao Qiao. Unexpectedly, in just half a month, she had changed so much. What she saw was Qiao Qiao, dressed in splendid clothes, walking with a few people who looked like masters and mistresses, followed by a group of people. It seems that her current days are going well. Those with her should be the more favored young masters and mistresses of the Qiao Family. However, Gu Shengyin saw that although Qiao Qiao had a smile on her face, there was not a hint of laughter in her eyes. Clearly, she didn’t care much for the people around her and their flattery. Yet it wasn’t the palace that Gu Shengyin was focusing on. She sensed demonic Qi on Qiao Qiao. Although it was very faint, almost imperceptible, what kind of person was Gu Shengyin? Even though her physical body was destroyed, both her Divine Sense and insight were still at the level of a former Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert. When it comes to keen eyesight, no one could surpass her. Qiao Qiao has been practicing a Cultivation Technique of the Demon Path. Her strength should also be related to this. Gu Shengyin recalled the original plot where Qiao Qiao ultimately used Soul Devouring against Shi Lingshi. That was something that happened a long time later. Could it be that she changed her disciple selection goals, causing Qiao Qiao’s fate to alter as well? As Gu Shengyin was about to have the system check for her, all the system’s messages were already in her mind. At the same time, the system also sent back a message: "Really sorry, host, I’ve been in hibernation for the past few days and forgot to notify you." Gu Shengyin didn’t have the time to get entangled with the system’s hibernation issues; she was reviewing Qiao Qiao’s information. It turns out that half a month ago, Qiao Qiao found an old Jade Slip in her rundown courtyard. And it was precisely because the Jade Slip was so severely damaged that its defensive Formation had lost its function, allowing Qiao Qiao to seize the opportunity. Inside was the legacy left by a Demonic Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Back then, he was besieged by the Righteous Path, gravely wounded, unable to create a Secret Realm, so he could only leave his lifetime of cultivation insights and treasures in a Jade Slip within a cave, hoping to find someone destined. It’s unknown how that Jade Slip ended up in Qiao Qiao’s little courtyard. Demon Path’s cultivation methods have always been different from the strict rules of the Righteous Path; they don’t strictly require Root Bone and sometimes even involve entering the path through killing or evil, with all sorts of strange techniques. The cultivation practiced by this Divinity Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator was the path of devouring. Forcibly seizing others’ possessions to strengthen oneself. Those possessions could be lifespan, vitality, and even Spirit Roots, Fate. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩 In the end, it’s what Qiao Qiao used against Shi Lingshi in the original plot - Soul Devouring. Looking at Qiao Qiao now, it’s clear she already has a Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer level of cultivation. That is to say, she has already started practicing that Cultivation Technique and has begun to plunder. Gu Shengyin only felt a chill down her spine; forcibly taking others’ possessions as one’s own, the path to one’s success paved with the bones of others. Such a Cultivation Technique is truly deranged. At the midnight Dream Back, won’t she be awakened by nightmares? Qiao Qiao listened absentmindedly to her cousin’s words beside her. Tsk, these people looked at her like she was an ant when she was weak, as if another glance would sully their eyes. Now that she’s stronger than them, they’re eagerly coming up one by one. Such a demeanor is truly disgusting.
