"Changsheng stays, the rest of you leave."

The Youming Sect Master had no idea that this wasn't Snake Changsheng, but the real Zhang Bin. There wasn't even a trace of doubt.

Once all the Elders left, he said solemnly, "The Heavenly Demon Technique is the most mystical cultivation method, and it is the foundation of our Youming Sect. The Soul Immortal Divine Technique is derived from the Heavenly Demon Technique. But there are some differences because I made improvements... Take a good look at it."

Then, a bronze box flew out from the gap of a coffin.

Floating gently into Zhang Bin's hand.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Zhang Bin said with gratitude.

His hands were trembling slightly, of course, because of excitement.

Was it this easy to deceive and obtain the Superior Demon Tactic?

One must know, the Heavenly Demon Technique is one of the two great miraculous techniques of the Gold Civilization.

Even more mystical than the Tyrant Gold Celestial Technique.

Although the Youming Sect Master previously claimed that cultivation techniques are not that important, that's only because he didn't regard other sects' techniques.

He already had the most suitable cultivation technique.

Yes, the Youming Sect Master obtained an incredibly terrifying cultivation method, not the Heavenly Demon Technique, but another method.

All the Living Ghosts of the Youming Sect practice this method.

It is said that this method can cultivate Gold Element Techniques, unleashing extremely terrifying combat power.

Unfortunately, Zhang Bin only gleaned bits and pieces of this method without knowing its name or contents after reading Snake Chun's and Snake Changsheng's memories.

As for the Heavenly Demon Technique, it is used to cultivate the soul.

A powerful soul, paired with his invincible Gold Element Techniques, would make it easier for him to overcome the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

You Jiuxuan couldn't survive the Ascension Peak Realm Heavenly Tribulation due to his weak soul, which was severely injured first. He had to use a secret technique to escape his body and deceive the tribulation, which only destroyed his body.

Now You Jiuxuan needs an extraordinary cauldron and to obtain the Heavenly Demon Manual Volume Three. If he could also acquire the miraculous Moon Fruit and Soul Fruit, that would be ideal.

Therefore, he is very focused on searching for the Heavenly Demon Manual Volume Three.

Zhang Bin took a deep breath and opened the bronze box.

Inside was a dark golden book.

Zhang Bin swore he had never seen that type of writing, but it was so mystical that anyone could recognize it.

"Heavenly Demon Technique, Volume One."

Zhang Bin murmured in shock.

It seemed a special intent emanated from these words entering his mind, enabling him to understand their meaning.

He took the book out.

It felt cold to the touch and surprisingly heavy.

The book shone as if new, without any damage.

Evidently, this book itself possessed indestructible qualities.

After all, this book came from over 4 billion years ago, such an extraordinarily long time ago.

And for the Youming Sect Master to have obtained the original Superior Demon Tactic was indeed an incredible encounter.

Zhang Bin opened the first page.

"Boom..."

He seemed to hear a sound like rolling thunder.

The words on the page shot out dark golden light, intertwined.

Transforming into countless hazy silhouettes.

Finally coming together to form a black heavenly demon.

This heavenly demon was terrifying.

Three heads and six arms, covered in dark golden scales.

The face was blurry, seemingly hidden in a black mist.

However, an aura of immortal indestructibility and eternal existence emanated from it.

It seemed to be a presence in heaven and earth that would never be obliterated.

He sat cross-legged atop the cloud in the void, completely merged with heaven and earth.

Each breath synchronized with the rhythm of the universe.

As if he was the incarnation of the universe, no, no, he should be an existence transcending the universe.

The universe would not destroy him.

If the universe perished, he would still endure.

He could seemingly transcend everything, disregarding the flow of time, ignoring the creation and destruction of all things in the universe.

His mouth issued a sound that seemed both vague and clear, as if it echoed in Zhang Bin's heart.

"Soul, the core of a person. When a person dies, the soul perishes. Such is the law of heaven and earth. When soul and spirit unite, one may die, but the soul can endure, the way of the ghost it is. A ghost cultivator becoming an immortal is called a Ghost Immortal. The soul not perishing, eternally enduring, this is the way of the Heavenly Demon..."

Zhang Bin was completely shocked; was the Heavenly Demon Technique truly so miraculous? Just a few words explained the direction of soul cultivation so clearly.

Turns out, the heavenly demon is more advanced than a Ghost Immortal, able to let the soul remain eternal and indestructible.

Zhang Bin continued to listen carefully.

The subsequent content became particularly profound, most of which he could not comprehend.

However, he vaguely felt that this volume's content was not for ghost cultivation but rather for human cultivation, teaching how to strengthen the soul. If the body died, the soul could continue to exist and even wield divine skills with great combat strength.

There was no mention of methods for cultivating into a Ghost Immortal.

Much less becoming a heavenly demon.

Perhaps the subsequent cultivation techniques would also be for humans, continuing to strengthen the soul so it could fight independently of the body, unleashing terrifying combat power.

At the extreme, the soul becomes a Ghost Immortal, a heavenly demon.

Even if the body is destroyed, the soul remains a super strong Ghost Immortal; it remains a heavenly demon, eternally indestructible.

Perhaps after becoming a heavenly demon, one can abandon the body.

Of course, this is merely Zhang Bin's speculation. Whether it is true or not, only heaven knows.

Finally, the sound subsided, and the Heavenly Demon Technique closed itself.

Evidently, this book acts as a special medium; opening it allows one to hear all its content.

There are no extraneous explanations; comprehension requires time and exceptional talent.

Much to Zhang Bin's astonishment, content he could not comprehend was forgotten after hearing it.

He immediately asked in his mind, "Tutu, did you record it?"

"Master, I couldn't hear a thing. That wasn't a sound but a different form of intention or something else," Tutu said. "This book must have been left by a Great God. Very precious and miraculous."

"Damn..."

Zhang Bin wanted to listen again, trying to open the first page.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it.

The Youming Sect Master chuckled, "Only after comprehending all the content can you read it a second time."

"That's too mystical."

Zhang Bin was stunned, and after a long time, he hesitantly said, "Sect Master, perhaps there is a Middle Strategy and Volume Three of the Heavenly Demon Technique. Middle Strategy might be the secret technique to become a Ghost Immortal. Volume Three could be the secret technique to become a heavenly demon."

"I think so too. But who knows if the Middle Strategy and Volume Three are still on Earth. Such a miraculous cultivation method might have been taken to the Immortal Realm," You Jiuxuan said with a sigh.

"Maybe not. I suspect that without mastering Volume One, you can't open the Middle Strategy or Volume Three. So even if someone has them, they can't see the contents and won't value them. They won't take them to the Immortal Realm," Zhang Bin said. "And since Volume One is on Earth, there's a high possibility that Middle Strategy and Volume Three are also on Earth. There's hope of finding them. Sect Master, it's likely that you've also comprehended most of Volume One. To continue comprehending, you must get the cauldron. Lend me Volume One for a while? One, I can continue to comprehend, possibly understanding different content to supplement our Soul Immortal Divine Technique. Two, it can help me search for the missing volumes."

Zhang Bin was being bold, wanting to take possession of the Heavenly Demon Technique's Volume One.

It's simply audacious.

Greedy, one might say.

However, to deal with the evil Youming Sect Master You Jiuxuan, one must use such measures.

Do whatever it takes, however ruthless, however much a trickster one can be.
