I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1205

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1206: Heart of the Blood Demon Chapter 1205: Chapter 1206: Heart of the Blood Demon The fourth floor.

Jin Renfeng halted his steps and turned to Li Xiaobai, saying, “Sir, the floor above is exclusively for the cultivation techniques of Saint Realm powerhouses. I cannot directly go up, so please proceed on your own. The Heart Demon Restriction set up on these stairs has reached the power of the Saint Realm, so please be extremely careful.”

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Xiaobai stride up the stairs, and even jumped a few times on them, looking completely at ease with no sign of the restrictions affecting him.

For a moment, he wondered whether the restriction on the stairs was working at all–it wasn't broken, was it?

“Is this it?”

“The prohibitions of the Blood Demon Sect are kind of weak, where's the power of a Saint Realm? I didn't feel a thing.”

“Alright, you can go down first. Call you if there's anything.”

Li Xiaobai mumbled a few words and then climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor with a few quick steps, leaving Jin Renfeng staring in shock below.

The higher one goes in the Scripture Pavilion, the smaller the space gets. After all, the better and deeper the cultivation techniques, the fewer there are. The fifth floor was basically the size of a small room, with three large bookcases neatly arranged.

The first bookcase was labeled “Mental Methods,” which are techniques used to cultivate Immortal Yuan Power.

The second was labeled “Movement Techniques,” used for the practice of one's bodily movements.

The third was inscribed with “Divine Skills,” which are the most powerful secret techniques within the sect; each bookcase only held a sparse few dozen cultivation manuals, appearing somewhat scattered.

Glancing around, the fifth floor was empty with no one else around, only him, as this was a place only Saint Realm powerhouses could ascend to. The manuals that could be chosen had long been selected by the various Elders of the sect for their cultivation. Few came here on normal days.

He casually walked over to the “Mental Methods” bookcase and flipped open an ancient tome.

Dragon-and-phoenix characters wrote a line in blood: “Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable.”

“The book, personally written by Xueshenzi, is hailed as one of the top ten must-read publications for the younger generation of the Central Origin Realm…”

“Note: the book cannot be taken away; please transcribe it yourself…”

This name was quite familiar to him; back on the Immortal Spirit Continent, he once had such a skill, which was later merged into the Heart of the Blood Demon to ascend to a Divine Level skill.

Only, the introduction was pretentiously excessive. It's written by Xueshenzi himself, and yet he's boasting about it.

“Nine Heavens Responding Yuan Blood Demon Yuanhua Celestial, it has been 3,600 years…”

He flipped through casually; it systematically narrated the origins of the cultivation technique and the method of practice, detailed but unfortunately, Li Xiaobai couldn't understand a single word. After all, he doesn't need to practice, how could he understand such profound techniques?

Wandering across the fifth floor, inspecting one bookcase after another, he finally discovered a treasure in the Divine Skills bookcase.

“Blood Demon's Giant Palm Seal…”

“Blood Demon Primordial Spirit Cultivation Method…”

The Divine Skills bookcase was roughly the same size as the other two, but there were less than ten books placed on it.

Looking at each one, he saw a familiar name:
“Heart of the Blood Demon”!

“That the Heart of the Blood Demon could appear here is truly incredible; isn't this a Great Divine Power that only Saint Heirs and Divine Children are qualified to practice? This is like a godsend for me!”

Li Xiaobai's eyes lit up, unable to wait to pick up the ancient tome and flip it open to a familiar introduction.

“The book is personally inscribed by Xueshenzi, hailed as one of the top ten must-read publications for the younger generation of the Central Origin Realm…”

Still, the same old opening line. Li Xiaobai felt somewhat speechless in his heart; every Cultivation Manual created by Xueshenzi that he came across had this phrase inscribed, how come it's always one of the top ten must-reads for the younger generation?

Continuing to flip through, the Cultivation Manuals were all vividly depicted with images; Li Xiaobai couldn't understand the text description, but he was very apt at understanding images. When he saw the page with the huge heart and the numerous blood-red tendrils floating around it, he instantly realized that the Heart of the Blood Demon was the Divine Level skill he had obtained from the System.

“With this, I can use the Heart of the Blood Demon openly and no longer need to hide it!”

“It also says that the Blood Demon Sect has a special place for Sect Disciples to practice the Heart of the Blood Demon. Perhaps I can benefit from some dedicated practice.”

Li Xiaobai, feeling like he had found a precious treasure, took out paper and pen and began transcribing.

The existence of the Heart of the Blood Demon is quite unique; the heart can be regarded as an independent life form, its power not linked to the cultivator's own strength but entirely dependent on the amount of Blood Qi it absorbs.

The more and purer the absorbed Blood Qi, the stronger the power of the Heart of the Blood Demon. This was somewhat similar to Hellfire, with its inexhaustible craving, and he had given up on the idea of using his own resources to feed it. Better to let such types of Magic Treasures temporarily stay with others for a while, it's more cost-effective and safer to take them back later.

After casually transcribing a few pages, Li Xiaobai placed the ancient tome back in its original place. He wasn't actually going to practice; just putting on a show was enough. From Jin Renfeng's attitude, it was apparent that he wouldn't dare to check thoroughly.

The book said that those with talent could grasp some tricks within three days. With his Saint Realm cultivation level, immediate comprehension shouldn't be too difficult.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaobai returned to the first floor.

“Sir!”

Jin Renfeng had been waiting downstairs all along. Spotting Li Xiaobai, he immediately approached him; it was a surprise that the other party had come down so soon.

“Mhm, the fifth floor is not bad; I transcribed a volume called Heart of the Blood Demon for later study.”

Li Xiaobai waved the pages in front of him.

“I've noted it down, but please adhere to the sect's rules, Sir. This technique must not be passed on. Otherwise, if one day someone sees an unfamiliar cultivator using this technique, there will be accountability.”

Jin Renfeng spoke with narrowed eyes and a bow. A quick glance had confirmed that the pages in Li Xiaobai's hands were undoubtedly the methods for practicing the Heart of the Blood Demon. Almost every Saint Realm powerhouse had come back to practice this technique because it was so powerful, so it wasn't much of a surprise.

“Noted. I'll take my leave now.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, tucking the pages back into his pocket and departed.

“Should report to the Sect Master that the new Elder has transcribed the practice of the Heart of the Blood Demon,” Jin Renfeng thought, as he watched Li Xiaobai leave. Then, summoning a disciple nearby, he took paper and pen to begin writing relevant information hastefully.
