Chapter 1669: Chapter 729: The Mysterious Martial Arts

Tang Lei’s divine sense wavered as it entered a new world.

It was about two or three acres in size, with some medicinal fields opened up and a thatched hut.

This world before her was very similar to the first-level Hong Meng Heaven she had just obtained.

However, this Interior Cauldron Heaven of the Tang Family had no white mist around, and it looked only that small; calling it Interior Cauldron Heaven was more like calling it an enclosed storage space.

But the medicinal grass grown here, indeed, contained abundant spiritual power, and it was much more plentiful here than outside.

Tang Lei sat cross-legged and began cultivating in the Interior Cauldron Heaven.

As Tang Lei breathed, strands of spiritual energy drilled into his divine sense within the Interior Cauldron Heaven.

If scrutinized closely, one would certainly find that the spiritual energy was not pure; it contained extremely faint black evil qi.

If Ye Lingyue saw the Interior Cauldron Heaven of the Tang Family, she would definitely be shocked.

Because unlike Hong Meng Heaven, the area of the Tang Family’s Interior Cauldron Heaven is limited, unable to be upgraded, and even if Tang Lei is recognized as the master by the Interior Cauldron Heaven, only his divine sense can enter, and there’s no way for his physical body to come in.

He cultivated continuously for two or three hours, until near dawn.

Tang Lei checked the Primordial Power within the Dantian again.

Upon this inspection, Tang Lei couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

It was just one night, and the Primordial Power within his Dantian had greatly increased by a large margin.

"As the cultivation technique said, reaching the Second Layer can reach the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm. If I continue cultivating, I might be able to break through to the Great Divine Power Realm before I’m twenty-five."

Tang Lei talked to himself.

Tang Lei then furrowed his brows again.

This was still too slow.

Tang Tiansong, that kid, was also at the peak of the Small Divine Power Realm, and so were that Di Shen and Jin Mu from the Jin Family’s representative team, as well as Xi Jiuye; their cultivation was also at the peak of the Small Divine Power Realm.

He must surpass them.

He must find a way to break through to the Great Divine Power Realm; only then could he completely defeat the other representative teams in the Jiu Provinces Hunting.

Thinking of these things, Tang Lei’s thoughts were many and varied.

He got up and entered the thatched hut.

Inside the house, there were quite a few martial arts techniques displayed. Most of these techniques were left behind by the previous masters of the Interior Cauldron Heaven, who were also numerous Family Heads of the Tang Family.

Most of them were second or third-tier, though some first-tier martial arts could also be found.

But Tang Lei was not interested in any of these.

He only picked up a small booklet placed in the very corner, like an iron scroll.

The booklet consisted of only four pages, with the cover engraved with "Soul Devourer Transformation," which was obviously the name of this cultivation technique.

Unlike most martial arts techniques on the Jiu Provinces Continent, this cultivation technique did not specify its martial arts level.

Tang Lei eagerly opened the booklet.

The second page recorded the first-layer cultivation method of the technique.

During the first layer of Soul Devourer Transformation, the cultivator’s speed would be three times faster than an ordinary person, until reaching the initial stage of the Small Divine Power Realm.

In the second layer of Soul Devourer Transformation, the cultivator’s speed would be five times faster than usual, but it required abandoning emotions and love; the cultivator’s cultivation could reach the peak of the Small Divine Power Realm.

And the third layer...

Tang Lei’s heart began to race.

He turned to the last page.

This booklet was something he discovered by accident in the thatched hut after obtaining the Interior Cauldron Heaven.

Initially, Tang Lei didn’t pay attention.

Because the name of the technique was really quite evil, it certainly didn’t seem like a technique from a reputable sect.

It was just casually tossed aside.

Moreover, when Tang Lei first opened the booklet, he found that only the cover and the second page, which recorded the method to cultivate the first layer, were inscribed on its four pages; it was obviously an incomplete martial arts technique.

Most of the Family Heads of the Tang Family had just casually discarded it.

But at that time, Tang Lei, for some unknown reason, casually practiced it for a few days.

After cultivating, he quickly found that his own cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.

He advanced all the way to the initial stage of the Small Divine Power Realm, and just when Tang Lei lamented that the technique only had the first layer, a miraculous scene occurred.

When he picked up the "Soul Devourer Transformation" again one day, he discovered that the originally blank third page now contained the second layer of "Soul Devourer Transformation."

But the method to cultivate the "Soul Devourer Transformation" required abandoning emotions and love. At that time, Tang Lei was still deeply in love with Tang Lingbo.

He hesitated and did not immediately cultivate.

But later, Tang Lei discovered that Tang Lingbo had fallen in love with Tang Tiansong, who was from a collateral branch.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow for the proud Tang Lei.

But at that time, he still did not start cultivating the second layer of the Soul Devourer Transformation.

It wasn’t until later when Tang Lingbo and Tang Tiansong eloped and failed, Tang Tiansong was expelled from the Tang Family, and Tang Lei and Tang Lingbo were betrothed.

But on the day of the engagement, Tang Lingbo actually cut off her hair in front of the entire Tang Family, secluded herself in a Buddhist Hall, and was reclusive, leaving Tang Lei, her fiancé, unable to get close.

At that moment, Tang Lei felt as if his heart was being ripped apart. In his disappointment, he began cultivating the second layer of the Soul Devourer Transformation.

Over the years, his cultivation became the fastest-growing in the Tang Family, except for failing to win Tang Lingbo’s love; he was thriving.

But at that time, Tang Lei had not completely abandoned emotions and love, so the second layer of the Soul Devourer Transformation was never fully comprehended.

Until this time at the Jiu Provinces Hunting, Tang Tiansong appeared once more.

When Tang Lei felt that Tang Lingbo still had lingering feelings for Tang Tiansong, and when Tang Lingbo took her own life, the last string in Tang Lei’s heart snapped, he "forced" Tang Lingbo to her death, personally killing his sister who had disgraced the Tang Family.

Overnight, Tang Lei’s drastic change led him to suddenly break through the second layer of the Soul Devourer Transformation.

Tang Lei knew that after breaking through the second layer, only then would the third layer of the Soul Devourer Transformation appear.

The second layer being the peak of Small Divine Power Realm meant that the third layer must certainly be the cultivation method to break through to the Great Divine Power Realm.

Tang Lei almost devoutly opened the fourth page.

The originally blank iron scroll gradually manifested into lines of text.

As expected, it was the third layer of the Soul Devourer Transformation.

Tang Lei was overjoyed and read down word by word, only to have his expression change after finishing.

The third layer of Soul Devourer Transformation, cut ties with kinship, swallow gods and devour demons. The cultivator’s strength can break the heavens, and neither deities nor demons can deter; divine skills become realized.

Even with Tang Lei’s drastically changed temperament, after seeing this, he couldn’t help but be terrified.

Cut ties with kinship, swallow gods and devour demons, this technique was definitely not a normal technique.

But... when Tang Lei saw God’s ability to block demons at the end, he couldn’t help but feel tempted.

He memorized the third-layer technique by heart, and then looking at the Soul Devourer Transformation manual once again, he exerted force with his hands, turning the manual into a pile of iron powder.

"Now, all under heaven who know the Soul Devourer Transformation will be only me, Tang Lei."

Tang Lei muttered to himself.
