Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Tian sighed and asked, “What’s it?”
“Your Highness, take a look here.”
Eunuch Gui flipped to the last page of the book and tore off the hardcover. He used his Divinity, and the hardcover split into two different pieces, with something hidden in between.
It was a piece of jade wrapped in palm-sized satin cloth. The jade was glowing with light.
“It is indeed something special. It is probably a Skill Jade that has a record of the skills passed down from the ancestors!”
Eunuch Gui did not read through the contents. He handed the items to Shen Tian and said, “Your Highness, it is yours. Please take a look.”
Shen Tian was thrilled and excited. He put the satin cloth on the table and started reading it.
It had four huge words written on the top left corner, Demon Book of Hyuga.
Behind these words were smaller words in bright red: You need to castrate yourself before learning this secret skill!
Shen Tian almost snapped when reading those words!
WTF!? This!?
This is the thing I had been searching for for the past three days? It’s so lame!
Relax… I need to relax…
Shen Tian tried to calm himself down.
Maybe there’s some providence shining on me now!
He took out a mirror from his pocket and looked…
Bang!
The mirror fell off his hands and shattered on the floor.
Eunuch Gui quickly asked, “What’s wrong with the book, Your Highness?”
Shen Tian said with a blackened face, “Come and look for yourself!”
Eunuch Gui shook his head furiously. “This belongs to Your Highness. I’m not supposed to look at it!”
“It’s meant for you, not me!”
Shen Tian pulled Eunuch Gui to the table.
“Demon Book of Hyuga.” Eunuch Gui was shocked after reading what was written on it. “This… This is Demon Hyuga’s skill book! He was invincible in the Eastern Wilderness back then!”
“Demon Hyuga?” Shen Tian was confused. “You’ve heard of this person before?”
“I’ve read about him in an ancient book, Your Highness. Demon Hyuga was the evilest person 3,000 years ago,” recalled Eunuch Gui.
“Demon Hyuga was an ordinary eunuch in the Country of Kun in Eastern Wilderness. He had low imperial status and a bad foundation for cultivation.
“However, he had strong providence and managed to find part of the lost Imperial Sutra of Sun in the Imperial Library.
“Since there were too many missing parts and the most important guide was missing in the book, it was not possible to be used for learning.
“A normal person would be caught off guard by the mental demons due to greediness and result in death if they tried to learn it by force.
“However, Demon Hyuga had both luck and perseverance.
“He used himself as a test subject and combined multiple demon arts to the Imperial Sutra of Sun and made an entirely new demon art.
“It was later named as the Demon Book of Hyuga. It was much more devious and fatal. It had incredible fast attack speed and could bring up the opponents’ desires and mental demons.
“When the opponents were distracted, the user of this demon art would then make the killing move. It was the most sinister demon art in that era!
“More importantly, this cultivation technique had extremely low requirements for the foundation of cultivation and could be learned very fast.
“Demon Hyuga used this demon art alone and reached the level of Nascent Soul in merely 50 years!
“He was well-respected by people from the same tier, and no one could stand against him.
“50 years might seem very long for some people. Nonetheless, for people searching for immortality, it’s extremely short!
“Even if one cultivates the full version of the Imperial Sutra of Sun, they will be a rare genius to reach the Nascent Soul in 50 years.
“However, Demon Hyuga did not have that talent in the first place. Therefore, this cultivation technique was really one of a kind!”
…
“Your Highness, this is the heritage of an amazing art!
“Although it’s not an Imperial Sutra, it is more valuable for people who are not very talented in cultivation.
“Your Highness, you are lucky for once! Who would have thought that there’s this incredible demon art hidden in this ordinary book? Her Majesty would be happy for you if she knew it!”
Eunuch Gui was thrilled as he touched the satin cloth.
Demon Hyuga was like a legend among the eunuchs. Every eunuch was dreaming of possessing this Demon Book of Hyuga. They would not even trade it for a proper Imperial Sutra!
Shen Tian felt uncomfortable knowing how powerful this Demon Book of Hyuga was.
Why the hell is the book not for me!?
Sure, my mother would feel happy for me.
Sure, I’m lucky for once.
Bullsh*t! I’m still as unlucky as ever!
…
“If it’s so rare, Uncle Gui, you can have it. Good luck cultivating this!”
Although it was not meant for him, it was not so bad for Eunuch Gui to learn the demon art. Shen Tian felt much better on the thought of it.
Eunuch Gui was shocked that Shen Tian was giving this rare art to him.
He shook his head and said, “No, Your Highness, it’s for you! How could I have it? What do I have to deserve such incredible art?”
Shen Tian rolled his eyes and said, “So you want me to learn it instead?”
Eunuch Gui suddenly realized something.
Indeed, the prince cannot cultivate this technique…
What a poor prince. He finally encountered something good in his life, but he cannot have it.
God, why do you have to do this to my prince!?
Since there’s no other way, guess I’ll be the one cultivating on this!
After some internal struggles, Eunuch Gui decided to obey his prince.
The 13th Prince must have so much trust in me!
“20 years ago, I was falsely accused of stealing treasures in the palace. Concubine Lan was the one who saved my life.
“Although I did not have much education, I do know to repay people’s kindness. When Concubine Lan was around, I served her wholeheartedly with my life. Now she’s gone, my loyalty is all yours, Your Highness.
“I will train diligently on the Demon Book of Hyuga daily and swear to God that I’ll protect you as long as I’m alive!”
For people searching for immortality, there would be karma for everything. Thus, making promises and oaths, especially to God, should not be done without consideration.
Those demons making random promises would all die in a gruesome way.
Eunuch Gui’s oath was sincere, as he was indebted to Concubine Lan and the prince.
Shen Tian believed that he had made the right decision.
…
Although I’ve found the Demon Book of Hyuga, I’m still unlucky…
Shen Tian sighed and was not happy about it.
Since I stole this opportunity from Qin Gao, what about him now?
He suddenly remembered the common young eunuch Qin Gao.
Qin Gao had the most providence in all the people Shen Tian had met, and this Demon Book of Hyuga was supposed to be his too.
Now that Shen Tian had the book, what would happen to Qin Gao?
Would he have another opportunity? Or would there be other changes?
Shen Tian was extremely curious!
