Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 217: Devouring Scripture Evil Technique

His name was Steve and was Becky’s grandfather.

"I roughly understand," Becky nodded, feeling a bit mystified as he digested the information from Steve.

After coming to this world, he had just thought that he had reincarnated into an ordinary cultivator’s family, but he had never thought that there was such history behind it.

This was all quite shocking.

Even though Becky’s mind was quite strong, it took him a while to accept all of this.

"Grandfather..."

Sitting there, he suddenly remembered what Steve had said earlier, "You said that the Golden Dragon Grass would be useless? Is that true?"

Steve’s expression was calm as he looked at Becky and shook his head, "Naturally. Let alone Golden Dragon Grass, even a Golden Dragon Pill would be of no help."

"I awoke half a year ago and have been observing this whole time."

"Your teacher has reached his limit since long ago. Let alone Golden Dragon Grass, even an Innate Spirit Pill would be useless."

Becky felt great disbelief, "How can it be like that... Teacher... it doesn’t look that bad..."

Even though his face was usually pale, that was all there seemed to be. At most, he occasionally coughed.

Steve shook his head, "That’s just what you can see on the surface. To people of this level, this kind of situation is already terrible."

"His cultivation foundation has been injured and is on the verge of collapsing; there is no way of saving him."

"Cultivation foundation..." Becky felt quite stunned.

Over the past year, Sharky had taught them much about one’s cultivation foundation.

For a cultivator, if their cultivation foundation was destroyed, that essentially meant that their life was over.

Without a foundation, how could a person live on?

Compared to this, the problems with Becky’s body was just a small problem.

"It was because I could tell that his cultivation foundation had been destroyed that I did not do anything for the past half a year."

Standing in front of Becky, Steve’s expression was cold as he said, "Otherwise, I would have told you long ago to leave."

Becky understood what Steve was trying to say.

Since Sharky’s cultivation foundation had been destroyed, he had no hope; there was no chance of possession or anything else.

As such, since he had taken Becky as his disciple, he was completely genuine about it and had no ulterior motives.

After all, for someone who was about to die, everything else would be futile.

Becky’s body froze.

At that moment, he thought of the past.

Sharky’s appearance and laughter over the past year appeared in his mind.

He was warm and kind to Becky, and he treated both Becky and Zara completely the same.

Knowing Becky’s situation, he would often encourage Becky and tell him not to be discouraged or give up.

There were also all those times that he used his magic energy to purify Becky’s body.

Now, the significance was completely different.

Given that his cultivation foundation had been destroyed, using his magic energy to purify Becky’s body was essentially using up his lifeforce.

Thinking about that, Becky felt incredibly complicated and did not know what to say.

Seeing him like this, Steve shook his head but did not say anything.

Only a while later did he speak again, "Your teacher indeed treated you very well."

He spoke with a tone of appreciation, "Based on what I’ve observed, among my generation, he is an honest and upright person.

"If it was me and I was in his situation, I would not be able to be so calm."

Becky fell silent, choking back his emotions.

He opened his mouth and only after a while was he able to speak again, "Is there really no way to help him?"

"If it was earlier, when his cultivation foundation was just destroyed, perhaps there were some things that could have been done."

Steve shook his head as he said, "However... there is not much hope right now."

"Does that mean there is still some hope?" Becky’s eyes lit up as he quickly asked.

If there was some hope, then it was not impossible.

"I have a technique called Devouring Scripture. It was something that I obtained by chance while traveling around," Steve said calmly as he looked at Becky.

Following this, he directly waved his hand, and information flooded into Becky’s mind.

Boom!

The massive amounts of information soon organized into a complex and profound technique.

This technique was called the Heaven Devouring Scripture and focused on devouring other people’s constitutions and bloodlines to nurture one’s own body, causing one’s body to go through changes.

Using this technique, the more constitutions and bloodlines one devoured, the more terrifying and powerful one’s body would become.

In the end, there could be unbelievable effects.

Even for someone useless, if they devoured enough constitutions and bloodlines, they could become a genius.

"What is this?!"

After going through this technique, Becky felt incredibly startled and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"This technique..."

Looking at Becky, Steve laughed and said, "How is it? I originally prepared this technique for you.

"Your constitution is too lacking and ordinarily, it would be almost impossible for you to cultivate. However, that is only the current situation."

"If you use this Devouring Scripture and devour many different constitutions and bloodlines, your constitution can quickly become stronger. Even if your constitution was originally trash, you can become a genius. How is that?"

Steve said as he laughed.

"This technique can cause one’s constitution to continuously transform and can also make up for problems in one’s cultivation foundation, and it can even restore a shattered cultivation foundation."

"With this technique, the more constitutions and bloodlines devoured, the more chance there is of recovery."

Hearing these words, Becky fell silent as his breathing became louder.

Devouring constitutions and bloodlines to change one’s own constitution and talent.

This kind of technique was undoubtedly an evil technique.

However, the effects...

From when he had come to this world, because of his constitution, he had been labeled as trash and looked down on by everyone. No matter how hard he worked, he could not build a Foundation and truly cultivate.

Even though Sharky had continuously used magic energy to purify his body over the past year, it had only caused his situation to become a bit better, and he was still quite a distance away from true cultivation.

Now, if he cultivated this evil technique...

He inwardly sighed but still made a decision.

He frowned and said, "I’ll try out this Devouring Scripture, but my teacher... He might not be willing to use it."

From how Sharky acted, he seemed like a noble and righteous person.

For a person like him, he would most likely rather die than be willing to use an evil technique like this.

Thinking about it, he could not help but feel quite troubled.

Becky looked at Steve as he frowned and asked, "Are there no problems with this technique? Will there really be no negative consequences of devouring other people’s constitutions and bloodlines?"

After one year of teaching from Sharky, he was no longer as uninformed and had some basic knowledge.

Were there no downsides to something like this?

Hearing Becky’s question, Steve felt quite surprised but also quite appreciative.

As such, he nodded and said, "There are naturally some problems."

"If casually devouring other people’s constitutions and bloodlines could limitlessly make one’s constitution stronger, wouldn’t one be able to easily become a peak expert? It’s naturally not that simple."

Steve shook his head as he said, "Devouring other people’s constitutions and bloodlines will cause you to be affected by them. Those things might affect your mind and personality, and it might even cause you to become a different person."

Steve suddenly said, "In the past, I met a few people who had cultivated this Devouring Scripture. It was just that in the end, all of them went crazy."

All of them went crazy?

Hearing this, Becky’s expression became quite grim.

It seemed that this Devouring Scripture was more dangerous than he had thought.

Devouring other constitutions could affect his mind and personality, and the more he devoured, the more he would be affected.

As for cultivation, if one could not keep one’s mind and soul clear and pure, that was incredibly dangerous.

In other words, this was a very risky path.

"Is there no way to avoid these problems?" Becky could not help but ask.

Even though he had expected there to be a price with the Devouring Scripture, this was a bit too grave.

Unexpectedly, Steve smiled and said, "There is. Once you start to use the Devouring Scripture, you will begin to be affected by constitutions and bloodlines.

"However, there is a different level to which you will be affected by different constitutions and bloodlines.

"If you are afraid of your personality changing, just devour those with similar constitutions and bloodlines," Steve said with a teasing look.

"What do you mean?" Becky paused as a bad feeling welled up within him.

"You still don’t understand?" Steve grinned, "Absorbing similar constitutions and bloodlines will reduce the difficulty of refining them, and the negative effects will be reduced as well.

"As such, it is most suitable to use it on direct blood relations, such as parents, descendants, and siblings; those are all good choices..."

"Stop!"

Listening to there, Becky’s face became ashen, "What Devouring Scripture; this is clearly an evil technique!"

Steve nodded, not denying it, "That’s right. Techniques are not inherently good or evil; it just depends how you use them.

"Isn’t it enough for it to be of use to you?"

He laughed as he continued, "If you can’t do this to direct relatives, then other powerful and special humans are also good choices."

"As for Outlanders, even though their bloodlines are powerful, because they are so different, the effects from them will be very big."

Following this, he thought about it before suddenly saying, "That’s right, that teacher of yours is also quite suitable. Your teacher’s cultivation is not inferior to mine; if you can devour him..."

"Stop right there!" Becky glared at his grandfather as he furiously shouted, "If I do such a thing to those closest to me because I’m afraid of the consequences, what difference would there be between a beast and myself?"

"If I am to become a beast to avoid the consequences, what need is there to be afraid of the consequences?" Becky said with a cold expression.

Right now, he felt complete disgust towards the Devouring Scripture.

Looking at Becky, Steve only smiled before saying, "You can do as you see fit. I’ve passed the technique to you, so how you use it is up to yourself."

After saying this, his body disappeared.

The black gemstone pendant gave off a faint heat against Becky’s chest, making him feel quite startled.

Sensing that heat, he thought of what Steve had said and deeply sighed.

Following this, he looked at the small building ahead and hesitated before walking in.

Meanwhile, Zara was decocting medicinal herbs.

"Is there not any way that you recovered, Teacher," She asked looking at Sharky.

Sharky patted her head.

"Don’t worry, till two years, nothing is going to happen to me."

"Ok, Teacher." Zara nodded.

"Cough..." Sharky again coughed, seeing it, Zara quickly goes to bring water for him.

"How will the teacher become fine," Zara muttered, since she is worried about Sharky.

But then a voice appeared from inside of her. ’If you want, you can save your teacher.’

"Who is talking?" Zara asked, as she heard the voice.

’I am you’ The voice again appeared, ’Or your past?’

Even the voice is confused, what is she.

"My past?" Zara murmured, as she looked confused.

’You want to save your teacher or not,’ The voice again appeared.

"Yes, yes, I want to save the teacher," Zara quickly nodded.

’Then, there is only one way, you need to do dual cultivation with your teacher,’ The past self said.

"What is dual cultivation?" Zara asked, she is confused about the dual cultivation, since she didn’t know what this is.

’I will explain to you,’ The past self voice said. And then, some memories appeared inside the Zara. And it shows a girl is doing sex with a boy. And she also reads some mantras, while doing it.

And after the boy released his water, spirit qi appeared there, and it nourished both the boy and girl.

"So, this is dual cultivation."

Zara nodded, as she thought of doing this with the Teacher, so he will recover.

’Remember, don’t do this in the day, only do it at night. When your brother will fall asleep.’ The past self informed.

"Ok," Zara nodded, she didn’t question her.

Then the past self thought something, and said, ’Your teacher will stop you from doing dual cultivation with him. So you need to forcefully do it with your teacher, if you want to save him.’

’And the first time, you will also feel pain, so you need to bear it.’ The past self warned her.

Zara nodded.

Seeing it, her past self showed her the memories of how to do the dual cultivation with her teacher, forcefully.
