Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 704 - 681. Du Wei is skilled in using sneaky moves

Chapter 704: 681. Du Wei is skilled in using sneaky moves. Chapter 704: 681. Du Wei is skilled in using sneaky moves. The Voodoo Cult’s forbidden cabin was specifically used to store various mediums associated with Evil Spirits.

Last time, Tom and Father Tony opened the cabin, which resulted in the release of countless Evil Spirits.

Du Wei stepped into the interplay of light and shadow.

He also carried the Envelope to the forbidden cabin.

His feet touched the ground, yet there was no sense of solidity, nor was it like stepping into the void.

The Envelope hovered around Du Wei.

“Master, the Envelope has backtracked the situation here. The stele is in the corner at the very back; there’s a door in that corner. All you need to do is open the door, and you’ll see the stele,”

This was the ability to backtrack, now stronger than before.

...

Du Wei nodded in satisfaction, passed by some strange and curious objects such as the media of Evil Spirits detained by the Voodoo Cult, and then he arrived in front of that door.

It is worth mentioning that

this door is made of stone, seemingly the same material as the stone door in the base space of the tower in Carlos’s memory, except that this door had no pattern on it.

Du Wei reached out and pressed his hand against it.

It felt somewhat damp; some moss had grown on the stone door.

“This seems to be the kind of stone door that Carlos had people build, but why does it appear here?”

Du Wei couldn’t quite understand.

Logically, the stone doors built by Carlos shouldn’t have made it out into the world.

How did the Voodoo Cult get this stone door?

The Envelope beside him provided the answer.

“Master, this stone door was indeed made by Carlos, but according to the backtracked situation, it was made before the tower was established. It seems to be a semi-finished product?”

“However, there is no memory in Carlos as to why you had him build the stone door.

Du Wei shook his head and said, “There is no why, the seventy-two stone doors correspond to the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods, this piece if it’s the first to be made, was surely meant to verify something. Once I go to the Victorian Era, I will know the truth of the matter.”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

He temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

Actually, the tower was where he was more eager to go; he had an intuition that the stone coffin inside the tower was definitely not meant for Carlos himself.

It was likely related to himself.

It was an intuition, yet also the most probable.

The stone door wasn’t overly heavy, and although it took some effort, Du Wei managed to push it open without much trouble.

As dust scattered,

the scenery behind the door unfolded before Du Wei’s eyes.

He saw a stele about two and a half meters high, a rectangular solid, different from those he had seen before.

However, the patterns on this stele were not very numerous.

At the bottom were all sorts of twisted symbols, including hexagrams, and crosses, and some that represented symbols of a religious nature.

These symbols came together as if representing some kind of message.

“Envelope,”

Du Wei called out.

“Master, rest assured, the Envelope has recorded everything.”

“Hmm, well done,”

Du Wei gave rare praise, then he walked in front of the stele and took out Mapa’s Pen.

At the bottom were symbols, and above were patterns.

The reason why there weren’t many patterns on the stele is because there were only seventy-two in total, likewise representing the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods.

The seventy-two patterns were differentiated from top to bottom.

At the very top were four: the sun, the moon, blood, and a volcano, which seemed to be the Four Pillars?

The patterns below these were familiar to Du Wei, such as the eye, a pointer, the ocean, and so on and so forth…

Du Wei held Mapa’s Pen, his gaze directed towards the vacant area above the top patterns, which represented the Four Pillars.

There was nothing but blank space.

“The concept of ‘Armored Divinity Ascension’ should be known only to Minette and me. At least Alfaria is unaware of it, otherwise, he would not have chosen to steal the power of the Demon God but to pursue Armored Divinity Ascension instead,” said Du Wei.

“Therefore, this stele must contain the method for Armored Divinity Ascension.”

“This is my gift to Alfaria and the Vanity Sect. Gascogne has long since perished; what exists now is merely an impostor, a so-called whole that is utterly a failure.”

“The plans of the Vanity Sect will not succeed, but they might attempt the Armored Divinity Ascension.”

Armored Divinity Ascension, in fact, is to believe that one is the Demon God and to establish contact with it.

The more one believes, the more real it becomes.

Then, the Demon God descends, assimilating the one trying to achieve Armored Divinity Ascension.

The Demon God is uncontrollable, but Du Wei is controllable.

Yes…

Du Wei was preparing to outwit both the Vanity Sect and the Demon God.

So…

He took Mapa’s Pen in hand, activated its power, and silently drew the pattern of a mask on the blank space of the stele.

That represented the Evil Spirit Du Wei.

Hmm…

The position was above the Four Pillars.

You wouldn’t even realize it was added later.

“In this way, it’s certain that I can fool the Vanity Sect, but it seems unlikely that I can fool a Demon God to death. I need to ensure that when the Vanity Sect pursues Armored Divinity Ascension, they drag a few Demon Gods down with them,” Du Wei pondered.

After some thought…

Du Wei used Mapa’s Pen again to draw numerous lines originating from the mask, intertwining with the remaining patterns on the stele.

He deliberately avoided the Four Pillars.

“I’m quite looking forward to seeing how many Demon Gods will be lured into this trap.”

Having done these, Du Wei then imitated some symbols at the bottom. With Mapa’s Pen, the meaning behind these symbols became apparent at a single glance.

Even if you don’t understand, it doesn’t matter.

Du Wei will make them understand.

And the meanings of the symbols were as follows:

[The mask is a vessel; it represents mystery and the unknown. Only that which cannot be seen, only that which remains unfelt, can be key in Armored Divinity Ascension.]

[The most ancient Demon Gods often arise from primordial fears. They exist conceptually, representing the most terrifying and supreme power. But the number of Demon Gods is not fixed.]

[Armored Divinity Ascension is one path to becoming a Demon God. Those who embark on this path can never turn back.]

[What we fear the most is indeed the most frightening. But when we become the embodiment of fear itself, our very existence becomes something to be feared.]

[And the method of Armored Divinity Ascension is…]

The omitted part, naturally, details the method of Armored Divinity Ascension.

But Du Wei wasn’t so kind-hearted.

He deliberately included some useless details to make it look more credible. After all, his creation of the path of Armored Divinity Ascension was brutally straightforward.

The more detailed it appeared, the more credible it seemed.

It also highlighted that he, the creator, was actually, by comparison, more of a knock-off.

“Alfaria, I am eager to see if, when you lay eyes upon this stele, you will think of me merely as a plagiarist, or will you believe I too have read this stele and thus embarked on the path of Armored Divinity Ascension?”

…

Meanwhile, in the psychological clinic within the unknown space of North Brook District, New York,

Black Du Wei was undergoing what Du Wei had once experienced—the birth of the Evil Spirit Du Wei as he donned the mask.

He placed the ashen mask upon his face.

Then, with his right hand supporting his chin and his left casually resting on his thigh, a vague shadowy figure waited by his side for something.
