CHAPTER 86: DEMONHEART ASCENDANCY

Liu Wei soon realized he had finally returned to his meditative state.

He successfully overcame the trial of the Six Desires of the Heart.

Now, on to the next step, Liu Wei has to fuse his blood and will.

Now that his will has developed stronger than before after successfully overcoming the trial of the first of the Six Desires of the Heart, he easily channeled his willpower and formed it into a chain.

He merged his intent with the Demonheart’s pulse.

Slowly, he was able to make his heart beat in rhythm with his consciousness, symbolizing his control over the Blood Path, rather than servitude to it.

THe last Liu Wei wanted to happen was to serve the baby, who almost made him insane and became a demon.

In fact, what happened in the Six Desires of the Heart trial never occurred at all.

Of course, only on the part he was enraged after Bai Ping died.

Bai Ping died by his father’s hands.

He also witnessed his lifeless body.

However, he was still a child, he was unable to process what had just happened.

In fact, he did not even cry, he strangely felt nothing at all...

Of course, after three days, only then, he was able to cry to his heart’s content and eventually developed deep hatred towards his father.

That was only then he understood what hatred means.

If he had to fuel all the hatred he developed over the years after learning Bai Ping was killed by his father, perhaps, his wrath he manifested earlier would really be it.

The manifestation of the Demonheart Origin Body, which was the baby, really knew how to make use of his emotion and almost turned him into a demon.

If he really killed his father, he would fail the trial.

After all, he failed to tame his wrath.

Once the wrath successfully gained control of his consciousness, the power of the manifestation of the Demonheart Origin Body over his body would increase multifold.

Before he knew it, the baby could then possess the power to erase his consciousness and soul and eventually control his body.

Thankfully, he managed to prevent it.

The fact he was successful only made him happier.

Liu Wei then focused on the fusion of Blood and Will as he finally completed it.

Finally, the first Blood Chain fuses into his heart tissue itself, growing faintly crimson whenever Blood Qi flows.

Now, the next step was called Manifestation, which was the opening of the First Shackle.

As the chain stabilized, his heart’s pulse became heavier, resonating like a deep drum.

It was called the Demon Pulse.

He gained partial control over his demonic instincts and could now draw Blood Qi freely from his veins without damaging his body.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Foundation Establishment Stage..."

He finally opened his First Shackle, the Heart Shackle.

The Heart Shackle was also called the Demonheart Ascendancy.

The effects of opening the Heart Shackle was for his heart to evolve into a Demonheart Furnace, endlessly pumping Blood Qi like a second dantian.

In other words, the amount of Blood Qi he could draw and its quality was multiplied many times.

However, to fully form the Heart Shackle, he has to open all the six chains.

Unless he opened all the six chains, he was unable to make the Heart Shackle always active and draw out its full effects.

Hence, Liu Wei knew he had to spend more time opening the remaining five chains, which were the fear chain, the greed chain, the lust chain, the pride chain, and the sorrow chain.

Since the wrath chain was the most dominant chain in the Heart Shackle, he was more careful than before, easily opening all the five chains and managed to finally fully form his Heart Shackle.

He did not notice the passage of time, but he was not tired of breaking through and successfully solidified his foundation in the early Foundation Establishment Stage in one try.

Liu Wei wanted to stand up and tried to comprehend the effects of having his Heart Shackle fully formed when he realized he could have an accurate date from the System.

He asked, "System, provide me with accurate information about the effects of the Heart Shackle."

[Definitely. The Heart Shackle will grant you with the following effects:

Infinite Blood Qi Circulation: Recovery of qi and stamina becomes almost instant.

Bloodburst Amplification: All techniques involving blood essence increase in power by 30%.

Unbreakable Pulse: Heart cannot be ruptured by internal backlash unless killed outright.

Killing Rhythm Resonance: Calms slaughter frenzy, allowing clear thought during bloodlust.]

Liu Wei was interested.

He smiled and nodded.

Now that he had fully formed his Heart Shackle and was now on the early Foundation Establishment Stage... but only on the Blood Demonheart Sutra, he had to break through to the early Foundation Establishment Stage on his Verdant Cauldron Sutra.

However, at the moment, he did not possess the Earth rank version of the Verdant Cauldron Sutra.

He stood up and walked towards the exit.

Rhayven asked, "Where will you go, Big Brother? Are you done with your cultivation?"

Liu Wei was surprised that he paused his steps.

He chuckled and replied, "No, I will not be. I have to survive, Rhayven. I will just have to look for another cultivation technique to cultivate. It will not be demon related at all. You still want to cultivate with me?"

Rhayven immediately replied, "Yes! It’s much better to be with you, brother!"

Liu Wei smiled and nodded.

Liu Wei then proceeded to the library and searched for the earth rank version of the Verdant Cauldron Sutra.

However, to fully solidify his foundation on the Foundation Establishment Stage, having two cultivation techniques, he also has to elevate his Dual Thought Breathing: The Lotus of Two Minds.

Only then, would he finally be able to ascend on the early Foundation Establishment Stage.

He thought.

I will then be available to go outside.

Just thinking of rewarding himself with free time of traveling the outside world actually interested him...

Even though he used to prefer staying inside his library.
