Chapter 1: Fate with the Devil
In a major criminal prison 250 kilometers away from the outskirts of City M, a border city of Z country.
Yang Shuai Yu was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Opposite him was an old man with a pale face and messy hair. At this moment, Yang Shuai Yu was no longer the immature Yang Shuai Yu from a few years ago. His solemn face revealed some maturity as he listened attentively to every word the old man left him. Ever since he committed a crime and entered this gloomy prison a few years ago, Yang Shuai Yu rarely spoke. He was the youngest in this detention room. It was not that he did not want to talk, but other than seven or eight people who often talked about manly topics, he would always stay in a corner and do his own things. He would either read the books given by the prison guards or sleep all day and have wet dreams.
This was a prison built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the surface of the wall had mostly fallen off under the wind and sun, the interior of the wall was still as unbreakable as when it was first built. Most of the prisoners in the prison were vicious and desperate criminals. They were either armed drug dealers who wandered the border or demons who had several or even more than a dozen lives on their hands. There was only one exception in the entire prison. It was an iron room that locked up more than ten criminals. They had only been sentenced to six or seven years. Originally, they did not need to be detained in such a remote place. However, the prison in City M was overcrowded, so they could only suffer for these criminals who had committed crimes that were neither too serious nor too minor. Yang Shuai Yu was in this cell.
There were only four prison guards of different ages in this prison that had experienced decades of vicissitudes. One of them was already in his fifties and would retire in three months. He had worked in this prison for twenty-five years and had seen and heard everything he needed to see. It was not strange for eight to ten people to die here in a day. However, ever since he started this job, he could only rely on alcohol to sleep every day. There were two of them who were about the same age. They were classmates and good friends. After graduating from the police academy, the two of them discussed it and came to this remote place together in the hope of training. Indeed, all the prison guards here had to be bold but also had to maintain extreme calm. However, after they arrived here, the two of them gradually talked less. The other was a new guard who had come to replace a young prison guard who had been beaten to death not long ago because of a conflict with a prisoner. He had just graduated from the police academy and had no family connections. Moreover, he was an honest man. In the end, he could only be assigned to a place that normal people were unwilling to come to.
Yang Shuai Yu was sent to prison four years ago and was sentenced to seven years. However, as long as the criminals who came here were not as vicious as those in other detention rooms, they could have their sentences reduced by two years. Therefore, Yang Shuai Yu could be released from prison in a few months. In the past four years, the person Yang Shuai Yu had dealt with the most in prison was the old man sitting opposite him. Yang Shuaiyu didn't know when this old man who could almost be his grandfather entered prison. He only knew that when he came in four years ago, the old man's hair wasn't so white. Yang Shuaiyu could see this old man who he called Uncle Chen aging every day. Until today, the old man called Yang Shuaiyu to his side with his hoarse voice and said that he had something to tell Yang Shuaiyu.
Before entering prison, Yang Shuaiyu was a glorious teacher in the countryside. After graduating from the Normal School, Yang Shuaiyu couldn't find a job, so he chose to respond to the country's call to eliminate illiterate people in the new rural areas. He signed up for voluntary teaching, and then was arranged to teach physical education and mathematics in a temporary school built in the mountains. At that time, Yang Shuai Yu was only nineteen years old, the age of youth and recklessness. Yang Shuai Yu was careless and committed a mistake in the organization. He didn't even know what crime he was sentenced to and was sent to this prison. Yang Shuai Yu was in prison and felt that he no longer had the face to face his parents. Yang Shuaiyu's parents were in the countryside of Province K, not far from City M. If nothing unexpected happened, they should still be waiting for Yang Shuaiyu to return to his hometown to teach and enjoy the blessings of heaven. However, now…Yang Shuai Yu had always felt that although he was mischievous, he was still very timid. It was just that at that time, he did not expect himself to be so bold and make a big mistake.
The old man leaned against the wall and used his unique hoarse voice to say some shocking words that Yang Shuai Yu had never heard before. Although Yang Shuai Yu still looked calm, he was already wondering if he was having a shocking dream.
"Shuai Yu, my time is up and time is running out. Although what I'm about to say will be hard to believe, I hope you remember everything I said today. My real identity is the Fire Cloud Venerable, Chen Kunpeng, one of the thousands of self-cultivators. I come from the cultivation world. In fact, there really was a cultivation world in this universe, or even the Immortal Demon World. It was just that mortals did not know about it. This universe was only one of many, and this universe was divided into three major worlds and seven minor worlds. The three realms were the Heaven Realm, the Human Realm, and the Netherworld Realm. The Heaven Realm was further divided into the three realms of immortals, buddhas, and demons. They were the places where all the immortals, buddhas, and demons who surpassed the scope of mortals stayed. Mortals could only ascend after cultivating to the highest realm, and they were only the most ordinary Earthly Immortals. Although my realm has reached the Earthly Immortal Realm, I was seriously injured by the people of the Buddha Realm who secretly attacked me with their divine thoughts before I ascended. That's why I came to the mortal world to recuperate. I just didn't know that the Buddha's Palm was so powerful. I haven't been able to recover for so many years. Now the meridians in my body have begun to block. In a few days, I will lose all my power because of the blockage of the meridians. At that time, my life will come to an end. As for what happened in the Heaven Realm, I won't have the chance to see it in my life. Sigh, if I hadn't been young and frivolous back then, and had been too high-profile and left no way out, people wouldn't have been apprehensive and attacked me. I'm just sorry to my master, sigh.”The old man looked dejected and almost choked on his words.
"Uncle Chen, it's okay. You'll recover soon.”Yang Shuai Yu said politely. In fact, he really didn't know what to say. Right now, it was as if he was listening to a story. He was in a daze. In the past, he had only watched martial arts movies. Now, he was listening to fairy stories. He bit his tongue. It hurt. That's right, he wasn't dreaming.
"I know my body. But it's fine, I'll continue to tell you about the cultivation world. The cultivation realm I was in belonged to the mortal realm, the same realm as your mortal realm. Most people in the cultivation world knew cultivation spells. Of course, unlike people in the Heaven Realm who were born with shen power, cultivators improved step by step. I won't say much about the mortal world, because the mortal world is too heavy, so the experts here are only considered low-level in the cultivation world. The Nether World was divided into the Nether Ghost World and the Nether Soul World. The Nether Ghost World was filled with monsters formed from the bodies of animals and the souls of cultivators. Their strength varied, and they could not ascend, but their power could not be underestimated. After all, their numbers were quite large. The Netherworld Soul World was a place where all kinds of souls stayed. It was said that it was very gloomy there. Ordinary people would immediately be surrounded by Yin Qi, causing them to be delirious and eventually die from the reverse flow of their blood. Of course, there was nothing to be afraid of if it was a first-class expert. Someone had once seen a small team entering and leaving the Netherworld Soul World. These were the boundaries of the entire Asura Universe. There was a barrier between the Heaven Realm and the Human Realm that was very difficult to cross. Unless one's strength had reached the level of ascension, only experts above the Celestial Immortal realm could rely on their great magical power to bring mortals to the Heaven Realm. There are many passages between the mortal world and the cultivation world, which makes it convenient for people from the cultivation world to come to the mortal world to choose some children with good aptitude to cultivate in the cultivation world. However, these passages are all hidden. The passage I came from is in a cave on the mountainside of Mount Kunlun. If I hadn't encountered that passage by chance, I wouldn't have lived until now. The biggest difference between the cultivation realm and the mortal realm was that the cultivation speed in the cultivation realm was much faster than in the mortal realm. There were two reasons for this. One was that the secular Qi in the mortal world was too heavy, and the other was that the spiritual Qi in the mortal world was much thinner than that in the cultivation world. These are the things I want to tell you. Do you have any questions now, Shuai Yu? I'll give you an hour to sort this out, and then I'll start teaching you the orthodox cultivation technique of our Xie Yang Palace, the Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Divine Art.”
"Teach me divine arts?" Yang Shuai Yu pointed at his own nose in surprise, as if he still didn't understand the strange things that the old man was talking about.
The old man didn't reply to Yang Shuai Yu. He just closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy, hoping to reach the best state of his body within an hour. Then, he would teach this kid who wasn't the best candidate the cultivation techniques of the cultivation world. This kid was too honest. He really didn't know how he ended up in prison. Of course, in terms of aptitude, he had a Pure Yang Body that only appeared once every ten thousand years. Moreover, a large amount of extremely pure virgin Yin Qi had gathered in his body. It was the best choice for him to cultivate one of the three great demonic techniques of his sect. As long as he had enough comprehension, he would definitely improve rapidly and quickly reach a considerable height. The virgin Yin Qi in his body could quickly help him build his foundation and remove the impurities in his body. The combination of Yin and Yang allowed him to quickly break through the Rotational Reflection and Fusion Stages and reach the Heartbeat Stage. It was just that the heart stage was a hurdle that many young people could not pass. He had raised his strength to such a high level so quickly that his state of mind would definitely not be able to keep up. This would easily cause him to go berserk. Therefore, all the good fortune still depended on Yang Shuai Yu. Although he was a little old, it seemed that he could not find a more suitable candidate at this time.
An hour passed very quickly. Before Yang Shuai Yu could understand the old man's inexplicable words, he was interrupted by the old man's hoarse voice.
"Shuai Yu, I'm officially taking you in as the fourth-generation official disciple of Xie Yang Palace. From now on, you'll be a disciple of Xie Yang Palace. Now, I will teach you one of the three great devil skills of Xie Yang Palace, the Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Skill. Of course, what I will teach you is only the cultivation method of inner force. As for your state of mind, you have to experience it yourself. Others can only give you hints, but the key lies in yourself. After you memorize all the cultivation techniques of the Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Divine Art, I'll teach you the Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Divine Art that matches the divine art. Divine techniques cultivated inner strength, while the Yin-Yang Mixed Art corresponded to the moves of each stage. The cultivation technique moves of the realm would be practiced according to the realm one's strength reached. Of course, low-level moves would also become stronger when one's strength increased. Originally, you had a kind nature and weren't suited to cultivate mo skills. It's just that I accidentally discovered that you have a pure yang body and are suitable to cultivate all the dual cultivation methods of mo skills. Shuai Yu, did you have sex with a lot of people in the past?”The old man suddenly changed the topic and asked a question that almost made Yang Shuai Yu hide in a corner. However, Yang Shuai Yu had never mentioned his past. How could this old man see through it? Did I sleep talk? Yang Shuai Yu was very surprised.
"Yes, Master." Now, Yang Shuai Yu was kneeling on the ground. He was accepted as an apprentice by the old man. Although he did not understand every word the old man said, he did not think that the old man was crazy. For the past four years, the old man sat cross-legged on the mattress every day. He did not eat much. The reason was also the question that had been buried in Yang Shuai Yu's heart. It was just that the old man would not speak every time. Occasionally, he would smile mysteriously at Yang Shuai Yu and never talk about his youth. Just like how Yang Shuaiyu never mentioned anything about his volunteer teaching.
"Your body has accumulated a lot of pure virgin Yin Qi, which will be of great benefit to your future cultivation. You have a pure Yang body, and your body is full of Yang Qi. It is easy to arouse your desire in terms of body theory. However, every time you have sex with a woman, your body will gain a lot of benefits. The Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Skill that I taught you is a cultivation method that uses Yin and Yang Qi to improve your cultivation. This cultivation method is very unique and not everyone can cultivate it. People who are not pure Yang bodies can hardly make any progress in cultivation, but a pure Yang body like you can make rapid progress. In the future, if you show signs of going berserk, you can use the Yin-Yang Fusion Technique to eliminate your inner demons. Although we are people of the devil path, we must not force sexual intercourse with others in order to absorb yin and supplement yang. If it causes public anger in the cultivation world, even if you reach the dacheng stage, you will not be able to change the consequences of falling into a place of eternal damnation. At that time, you will not only be hunted down, but also the world will not tolerate it. You should be able to imagine the terrifying consequences.”
"Master, I have a question for you.”
"Just say it."
"Master, I want to ask if I can only go to the cultivation realm to cultivate after I get out and not stay in the mortal realm to cultivate?”Yang Shuai Yu didn't really want to leave this place. After all, this was his hometown, and his parents were still alive. If he left like this, he really didn't know how to explain to his parents who had high hopes for him.
"That's not true. It's just that when your strength reaches a certain level, it will be very difficult for you to continue to improve in this Mortal Realm where the spiritual energy is thin. As my master, of course, I hope that you can make great achievements. After I go, if you can ascend to the Heaven Realm and find the ancestor of our Xie Yang Sect in the Demon Realm, then I will die without regrets. Of course, as a demonic cultivator, one should do as they pleased and not have to worry so much. It's not too late to decide if you want to go to the cultivation world when you want to improve yourself.”
"Master, I understand." Yang Shuai Yu lowered his head as if he had been taught a lesson. He was gradually beginning to accept everything the old man had said.
"Now, I'll teach you the cultivation technique chant of the Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Divine Art. Listen carefully."
……..
"Alright, master will lead the way. Do you remember what I said?" After spending an hour, the old man taught Yang Shuaiyu the cultivation technique of the Yin-Yang Mixed Energy Divine Technique.
"Master, I'll remember it." Yang Shuai Yu knew that he couldn't comprehend everything in a short period of time, so he only remembered every word his master said and his own experience.
"Today, you try to circulate the chant first and try your best to let your Yang qi flow around your body. If you encounter any blocked areas, don't try to break through for the time being. Tomorrow, I will help you open up all your meridians and then tell you all the cultivation methods before the heart rate period. However, since we are cultivating different cultivation methods after the heart rate period, I can't give you anything. I can only tell you that everything needs to be done steadily and steadily. Don't be too eager for quick success and instant benefits. You can only break through to the next realm after you have stabilized your previous realm. Alright, you should meditate. I need to rest for a while.”
"Yes, Master!"
……..
A few days later.
"My time is up. Shuai Yu, give me your hand.”The old man sitting on the cushion looked even older. He was in poor spirits, as if he would die at any moment.
Yang Shuai Yu looked at his master and slowly reached out his hand to the old man.
The old man grabbed Yang Shuai Yu's hand and began to pass his own power to Yang Shuai Yu. He did not want to die with his hundreds of years of power. Now that he only had this one disciple, he could only let him get the benefits.
"Master, you…" Yang Shuai Yu could feel what his master was doing. His cultivation gradually increased with time. However, when he saw his master's expression getting worse and worse, he felt a little sorry. Although a demonic cultivator shouldn't be so indecisive, he was still his master after all. Even if they hadn't known each other as master and disciple for a long time, the kindness of being a teacher for a day and a father for life was something he couldn't forget. Yang Shuai Yu really wanted to break free from his master's grasp. Every minute that passed, his master's end was one step closer. However, Yang Shuai Yu knew that doing so would only make his master angry and even make his master die with hatred.
…….
Yang Shuai Yu was released from prison. At the entrance of the prison was a police car that had come to pick him up. The old man had passed away a few months ago, but Yang Shuaiyu was not sad at all. He just watched the prison guards carry the old man's body out of the prison. He knew that only by fulfilling his master's wish and killing his enemy would he be able to let him die in peace.
"Master, I won't let you down. I swear that I will kill your enemy for you.”This was Yang Shuai Yu's last sentence before he left the prison.
Yang Shuai Yu's cultivation destiny began.
……
The story went back to seven years ago. A young and fair-skinned young man was carrying big and small bags on his back as he stood on a muddy path in the field. He looked at the small village at the foot of the mountain a few kilometers ahead and became more determined.
"I won't leave with regrets!"
