There were many ordinary Devil Techniques that devoured the blood essence to cultivate, but the elevation that followed was not as ridiculous. On top of that, they had many requirements too, just like the Profound Dark Devil Technique that was only one word different from the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
The Profound Dark Devil Technique was a widely practiced Devil Technique in the Dao Martial Saint Land. As long as the Devil Cultivator in the Dao Martial Saint Land had the intention to, almost all of them could get their hands on this if they wanted to.
The Profound Dark Devil Technique would usually be cultivated by devouring a female virgin’s blood essence, but the elevation was not as ridiculous as with the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. Besides that, even if the girl was no longer a virgin, there was no use for the Devil Cultivator to eat her anymore no matter how young she was.
The Devouring Dark Devil Technique was an eminent Devil Technique in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land as well, let alone in the Lower Province.
The reason Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, was able to obtain the Devouring Dark Devil Technique was the fortuitous encounter he had three years ago. Back then, he had entered a place by mistake and obtained the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. Other than that, he had also come to know the person who had left the Devouring Dark Devil Technique behind — an almighty Devil Cultivator at that time.


Perhaps other people would have some knowledge about that powerful Devil Cultivator, but as the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, he knew about it profoundly well.
This was because among the eminent powerhouses from the quasi-third-rated forces who had joined the slaughter of the Devil Cultivator, one of them was from the Rising Sky Mansion. At that time, the Rising Sky Mansion was not just a fourth-rated force but a quasi-third-rated force instead.
The reason the Rising Sky Mansion could become a third-rated force was all thanks to that powerhouse.
Unfortunately, in that battle, that Rising Sky Mansion powerhouse had died during the battle. Since then, it had cost the Rising Sky Mansion an eminent powerhouse in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
At first, due to the respect towards that Rising Sky Mansion powerhouse’s sacrifice to the Dao Martial Saint Land, nobody voiced out anything at all even though many people knew that this powerhouse’s Rising Sky Mansion was no longer qualified to be listed as a quasi-third-rated force.
However, as time continued to pass by, several generations of people were replaced as well.
The sacrifice that the Rising Sky Mansion powerhouse made for the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land slowly faded. Not many people in the later generations paid respect to him anymore.
The eminent powerhouses at that time, who were old men, had all gone to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land one by one too.
This also caused the Rising Sky Mansion that had had several generations of people to be replaced and no eminent powerhouses were born in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to sway in the midst of a raging storm.
Finally, one day, a fourth-rated force that had given birth to an eminent powerhouse in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land had charged into the Rising Sky Mansion, trying to replace it as the new quasi-third-rated force.


All the powerhouses of the Rising Sky Mansion went out, but none of them was any match to that powerhouse from that force!
At once, the Rising Sky Mansion could only admit their defeat and obediently let the few best Saint Stone veins in the Dao Martial Saint Land out before moving to the original estate of that force, all the way until now.
Every Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion had a dream, which was to regain the glory of the Rising Sky Mansion’s yesteryears.
Unfortunately, as the long years went by, even though the Rising Sky Mansion could maintain its position today, it had never given birth to any eminent powerhouse in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land ever since, so it could not become a quasi-third-rated force again.
As Xu Jing’s eyes were gleaming brilliantly, he muttered in a deep voice,
By the time I become the Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, I’ll definitely make it the most powerful force in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

The reason he dared to say so was because he relied on the Devouring Dark Devil Technique in his hand.
To the Rising Sky Mansion, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique was no doubt a taboo.
By right, as the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, after Xu Jing had obtained the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he should have handed over this Devil Technique to the Rising Sky Mansion so that it could destroy it.
After all, the one that destroyed the Rising Sky Mansion was the owner of this Rising Sky Mansion.
However, due to his greed of the power of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, Xu Jing made a decision and kept it instead.


At first, although he had kept the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he did not cultivate at all because he had not made up his mind yet.
It was only a few months ago when a piece of news spread out in the entire Rising Sky Mansion district that made him set on a decision.
That news was nothing much to others, and not only that, to a Xu Jing that had yet to obtain the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he would not think much too even though he was displeased by the news.
However, having already obtained the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, this news was certainly a heavy blow to Xu Jing!

Our Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion should be able to enter the top three in the Rising Sky Rankings and get third place!


I think so as well. After all, the strongest Martial and Dao Cultivators below the age of fifty in our Rising Sky Mansion are that Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi. Their strengths are hard to tell apart, but they are both much powerful than that Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion.


I agree on the part where you said that the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion is indeed not as strong compared to the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi. However, I don’t agree when you say that he can take third place in the Rising Sky Rankings. In fact, among the powerhouses who are below fifty years old in our Rising Sky Mansion district, other than that Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, we still have someone who is quite powerful too!


You mean Zhong Gu?


Yeah, that’s him! In fact, when our Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion was still at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, Zhong Gu’s strength was already much more potent than his. However, in the end, he made a breakthrough to the Refined Saint Stage, so, in everybody’s else’s opinion, he’s still far more powerful than Zhong Gu who has yet made a breakthrough to the Refined Saint Stage. Nonetheless, I’ve just recently received a piece of news saying that Zhong Gu has already made a breakthrough too.


Zhong Gu has already made a breakthrough? In that case, he might really threaten Young Mansion Master Xu.



…
This news was also the reason why Xu Jing completely made up his mind to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
Even though he was the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion, one must admit that he was quite unlucky. This was because, in the same era, the Rising Sky Mansion district had given birth to two powerhouses who had an innate talent much higher than his. They were the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi.
Before the three of them had reached the age of 40, they dominated the first three places in the Heaven Rankings of the Rising Sky Mansion district.
The position between the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi had been swapped many times, but the first and second places still remained theirs.
Xu Jing could only get third place.
It was not that he had never thought of improving, but it was just that he was completely no match for the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi at all. He had challenged them many times but had failed over time.
As for Zhong Gu, even though he was close to their age, he had never challenged anybody from the Heaven Rankings before the age of 40, so he remained unknown.
It was only several years later when Xu Jing, the Flowery Monk, and Jing Xu Zi had left the Heaven Rankings due to their age that Xu Jing and Zhong Gu somehow got into a duel due to a clash. That time, both of them were at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage and when they were battling with each other. It seemed like Xu Jing was at a disadvantage while Zhong Gu defeated Xu Jing by a narrow margin.
Other than the two colossal opponents, the Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi, an additional huge mountain in the form of Zhong Gu appeared on top of Xu Jing’s head.


It was only until he had made a breakthrough to the Refined Saint Stage that Zhong Gu finally disappeared.
However, as the news spread from the outside, Zhong Gu appeared once again. As these three huge mountains combined together, they pressed down on him until he could hardly breathe.
At this moment, he recalled the Devouring Dark Devil Technique and the power of the original owner of the technique. Ever since then, he mired down in the mud and could no longer get out of it. In the end, he still could not resist the Devouring Dark Devil Technique’s temptation and decided to cultivate it.
Of course, wanting to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique would require the sacrifice of a great number of young girls.
Therefore, at this moment, he and the lackey by his side, the previous young hunchback just now, started to go around to search for a young woman so that they could kidnap her for him to cultivate.
After cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, when he was devouring the young girl’s vital essence and blood, he could feel the change in his cultivation base at every moment.
After having a taste of sweetness, it started to spiral out of control!
Of course, due to the irreconcilable enmity between the Rising Sky Mansion and the original owner of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he dared not expose the fact that he was cultivating the technique. This was because once it was exposed, those old geezers in the Rising Sky Mansion would definitely not allow him to succeed the position of the Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion anymore.
Other than not allowing him to succeed, they might even turn around and kill him for cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
After all, right now, he could be deemed as the direct disciple of the original owner of the Devouring Dark Devil Technique.
How could the Rising Sky Mansion possibly let go of their enemy’s direct disciple?

If I merely rely on the Rising Sky Mansion’s resources, I don’t even know whether I’ll be able to make a breakthrough to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage or not when the Rising Sky Rankings Battle arrives in ten months. Even if I could, I’d just win against Zhong Gu at most, and will still be no match for that Flowery Monk and Jing Xu Zi,
Xu Jing continued to mutter to himself,
However, after cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, I’ll be able to make a breakthrough to the Mastery Refined Saint Stage 100%. Not only that, I might stand a chance to break through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage too! As long as there are enough virgin girls, I’ll successfully make a breakthrough to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in ten months.


Young Mansion Master, I’ve cleaned it up,
Right at this moment, a voice reverberated from outside of the door. The hunchback had returned.
Crack!
As Xu Jing left the bed like a gust of wind, the door opened and he appeared in front of that hunchback, sending him into a fright.

Follow me out for a trip and come back only when the Rising Sky Rankings Battle is about to start,
Xu Jing ordered nonchalantly.

Young Mansion Master, are you planning to go out to cultivate?
The hunchback’s eyes lit up. His heart was delighted with joy.
He could not help but be thrilled for the Young Mansion Master who rarely went out to cultivate. He no longer had to worry that he would be exposed for kidnapping so many young girls back to the Rising Sky Mansion.
If the fact about his Young Mansion Master cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique was exposed, other than the Young Mansion Master who would be in trouble, he would face death as an accomplice too.

Yes.
Xu Jing nodded nonchalantly before bringing the hunchback outside to cultivate.
Actually, Xu Jing had already thought about it carefully before he decided to go outside to cultivate. That was because it would be easier for him to find virgin girls.
His target now was to make his cultivation base break through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in ten months when the Rising Sky Rankings Battle started. By then, he wanted to rise to the first place of the Rising Sky Rankings with a compelling force!
