Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

Chapter 64: Demon Lord.

In the small bamboo building.

Shen Shu sat cross-legged on the couch.

The formation shielded all the outside world's movements. There was no wind nor sound. Ye Yunlan's book with the stack of tips and tricks to break through the Nascent Soul Stage was quietly placed on the table.

The first step of his closed-door training was to enter stillness.

Shen Shu closed his eyes tightly. His hands that were on his knees trembled slightly. Then, blue veins bulged on his temples.

He wanted to break through Nascent Soul as soon as possible and go out to see his Master.

But the more he thought about it, the harder it was to make his heart stabilize.

The ghost spirits in his mind screamed more and more frighteningly in the quiet environment. It gave him a headache.

Distorted darkness spread throughout the room. Every inch where the sun didn't shine, there was something eager to move.

He had never told his Master about those evil, filthy, and unknown things.

Just as he had never told the other party that his hands were never clean.

Since he was born, his relatives were disgusted by him because of his body's strangeness. He was shut in the cellar as a monster.

He didn't even know that his parents were included in the people that gathered around the cellar's entrance, throwing gravel and rat corpses at him. He was a child.

Later, they all died.

He stood in a pool of blood. His uncontrollable power floated out unsteadily, causing blood to cover his face and vision.

After the power burst, he was taken away by the Soul Refining Sect disciples and was refined into a demon puppet. He was placed in a snake cave, then taken back to Sky Sect by Liu Qing and treated by the Medicine House disciples like a dog.

Later, they also died.

He had dragged two disciples into the snake pile, the ones from the Soul Refining Sect who brought him into the snake cave. They were swallowed, and not one bone remained.

The Medicine House disciples encountered unexpected events one after another. Liu Qing went mad. All of them were his masterpieces.

He didn't tell Ye Yunlan any of that.

So when something strange appeared in his soul, he didn't tell the other party either.

Ye Yunlan hoped that he could break away from the status of a demon puppet and do a good job in dao cultivation, so he would do it.

Dao Sect's exercises paid attention to calm thoughts and letting nature take its course. Letting go, doing nothing, and doing everything. In fact, it was not in harmony with his mind or nature.

In the dark, he felt that if he had cultivated the nine-turn celestial demon body technique, his cultivation speed would have been tens to hundreds of times faster than that of today.

But Ye Yunlan didn't like it.

Then he won't cultivate it.

Shen Shu clenched his fists tightly, making himself no longer tremble.

As tight as a bowstring, muscles throbbed in his temples. He concentrated on suppressing the hostility in his heart, trying to find the lucidness from the pain of his craving soul.

After a long time, he finally fell silent.

...

True cultivation was timeless.
