Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 138 : The method of becoming a god through belief.

In the face of the terrifying "Flying Vortex Cloud" from Fang Yuan, no demon could escape from this overwhelming black curtain.

They all turned into piles of rotten meat, floating in the air.

As Fang Yuan landed back on the ground, countless pieces of demon bones and flesh rained down like droplets.

The Iron Horn Demon King's stronghold was thus destroyed by Fang Yuan alone. However, the ordinary plants and animals in this area were not harmed in the slightest.

Fang Yuan could be considered quite environmentally conscious, after all, he needed to protect his country.

"Ha... My spiritual energy is almost drained..." Fang Yuan sighed. Since the moment he ascended to the Fifth Realm and began absorbing spiritual energy to convert it into spiritual power, he had been using it continuously until now, leaving him nearly empty.

It couldn't be helped; the spiritual river he had built in his body was vast, and his "blue bar" was practically as abundant as his health bar!

But speaking of health...

Fang Yuan glanced at his health bar again. After reaching the Seventh Realm, his health had dramatically increased to thirty thousand.

After all the recent chaos, he still had more than twenty thousand left.

The loss of thirty percent wasn't entirely due to the Iron Horn Demon King's strikes. A large portion was actually caused by using the "Blood Curse Technique."

The "Blood Curse Technique" was like a reverse armor, injuring oneself before harming the enemy. After using it, the practitioner would feel weak and nearly lifeless.

However, Fang Yuan wouldn't become weak. It would only deduct his health, and it was a percentage-based deduction.

"This martial art is powerful, but it consumes health. It's really not necessary for small fries. It's better to use it on powerful enemies."

Fang Yuan thought to himself. He immediately sat down cross-legged to replenish his spiritual energy.

The good deeds in the "Book of Good Deeds" had accumulated to a massive ten million, but as Fang Yuan's cultivation continued to rise, the resources required were becoming more and more terrifying.

Ten million good deeds didn't seem as plentiful anymore.

Luckily, the Iron Horn Demon King had left Fang Yuan several demon king loot boxes scattered across the Yongnan province. Fang Yuan would have to pick them up in person.

Fang Yuan began absorbing the spiritual energy, and a dialogue box appeared:

[Detected that the spiritual energy in the environment contains some impurities...]

"Skip, set it to automatically clear by default in the future," Fang Yuan replied. It was really annoying to be asked this repeatedly, so he set it to auto-clear.

[Settings saved, now beginning to consume good deeds...]

The sky, which had just cleared up, began to change color again. The spiritual energy within several dozen miles was mobilized and flowed into Fang Yuan's body.

Moments later, the vast spiritual river within Fang Yuan's body was once again filled with boundless spiritual power.

[Purification of spiritual energy impurities complete. This time, the consumption of good deeds: 8000.]

"Sure enough, this feeling of being filled is so refreshing..." Fang Yuan sighed. His gaze shifted to the Iron Horn Demon King's corpse not far away.

With a casual wave, the Iron Horn Demon King's ghost appeared.

"Tell me the locations of all your demon kings," Fang Yuan ordered.

The Iron Horn Demon King immediately answered honestly. No matter how much it had wanted to protect the demon race in life, after becoming a ghost, it could only obediently follow Fang Yuan's orders.

After recording everything in the "Book of Good Deeds," Fang Yuan added, "I have a suggestion for you. What do you think I should make you into for a dish? What would taste best?"

As a demon king, this bull in front of him was undoubtedly much more delicious than Kobe beef. He couldn't just waste it.

The Iron Horn Demon King fell silent for a moment before replying, "Actually, I don't want to be eaten..."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, "See, you've wandered off-topic."

Iron Horn Demon King: "..."

The demon king, having no experience in cooking, fell silent.

Fang Yuan also felt it was unfair to discuss cooking with a demon, so he waved his hand and dismissed the ghost.

He had always been decisive in killing demons, but when it came to making a demon into food, he hesitated.

Wait a minute, the demon was a bull, and its name was Iron Horn Demon King... wasn't this the legendary Iron Bull Noodles?

But Fang Yuan didn't have noodles... Ah, what a pity.

After some thought, Fang Yuan finally made a decision: he would turn the demon into beef jerky.

It was easy to carry and could be eaten whenever he felt like it.

Without further ado, he began by removing the head, skin, and internal organs, then used the "Slashing" technique to cut the beef into evenly thin slices.

After washing it with water, he roasted it using "Ten Thousand Thunder Prison Technique" and used "Flying Vortex Cloud" to absorb the moisture.

There was supposed to be a step for marinating the meat, but since Fang Yuan couldn't find any seasonings, he had to keep it in its original flavor.

After finishing all the steps, the Iron Bull Beef Jerky was ready!

Fang Yuan tasted a piece. As soon as it entered his mouth, a pure and rich meaty flavor spread. The more he chewed, the more the firm texture of the meat became pronounced, and the fragrant juices from the fibers grew stronger.

"Not bad, not bad..." Fang Yuan expressed his satisfaction. Now, he would likely never forget the taste of the Iron Bull.

After packing all the beef jerky into his storage bag, Fang Yuan decided to improve his "Yin-Yang Reversal Technique."

To better collect the remaining demon kings from Yongnan Province, this technique needed an upgrade.

Although his physical body could already break the sound barrier, searching for them one by one was still troublesome.

The next level of the "Yin-Yang Reversal Technique" would allow him to master a divine ability called [Divine Split], which would enable him to create multiple Yin God clones.

Let's give it a try...

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Fang Yuan sat down once again and immersed his thoughts in the "Yin-Yang Reversal Technique." The "Book of Good Deeds" also began to write:

[Your Yin God has now reached the state of 'Yin-Yang Fusion,' but your thirst for knowledge is unrelenting, and you continue to strive upward.]

[Consumes 12,000 good deeds. You endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear and continue to temper your Yin God day and night. Eventually, you successfully elevate the "Yin-Yang Reversal Technique" to a new realm: One Mind, Multiple Uses.]

[Your Yin God's strength has increased again. In addition, you have learned the 'Divine Split' technique, and the maximum number of Yin God clones you can create is six.]

"Done."

Fang Yuan focused his mind, and his Yin God emerged from his body.

At this point, his Yin God was almost solidified, and it appeared almost indistinguishable from a living person. When standing beside his physical body, it looked like a pair of twins.

"Let's try this Divine Split technique."

With just a thought, Fang Yuan's Yin God split into two, three, four...

The more the split, the more ethereal each Yin God became. By the time it reached the sixth split, the last clone had become as intangible as the original.

"Wow, this truly feels like the Six Paths of Pain..." Fang Yuan couldn't help but admire.

The good deeds were still abundant, so he decided to continue upgrading. He had a feeling this martial art, once fully mastered, could be incredibly powerful!

[Your tempering of the Yin God has reached a bottleneck. The rest will require hundreds of years to gradually refine.]

Hundreds of years? Fang Yuan didn't have time to wait.

As expected, the "Book of Good Deeds" continued writing:

[However, you believe in a famous saying: A hundred years is too long, so you decide to pay good deeds to forcibly skip the centuries of refinement time.]

"That works, no problem with skipping the plot!" Fang Yuan smiled inwardly.

[Consumes 60,000 good deeds. Your Yin God finally breaks through the bottleneck and reaches a completely new level!]

["Yin-Yang Reversal Technique" achieves a new realm: Transcendence.]

[Transcendence: You can now sense and absorb the power of belief, using it to strengthen your Yin God.]

Originally, Fang Yuan was feeling the pain of losing sixty thousand good deeds, but the next line of text made him overjoyed.

Belief power?!

It turned out that this technique was based on belief to attain godhood...

Now, after cultivating this far, he had finally touched the edge of the technique's real potential!

With that in mind, Fang Yuan merged his Yin God and physical body together, closed his eyes, and immediately felt a wisp of white smoke coming from all directions.

This was the power of belief from the common people.

However, Fang Yuan didn't have much belief power yet, only from his hometown, Changqing County, which had been steadily accumulating for him.

Previously, he had thought that the people worshipping him as a deity was unnecessary. Now, it seemed that the more the better!

Of course, accumulating belief didn't require people to build temples and light incense. As long as they expressed respect and wishes for him in their hearts, that would generate the spiritual power known as belief.

This belief power was similar to lending light to Diga.

Anyway, he decided to absorb all the belief he had accumulated so far...

Fang Yuan activated the "Yin-Yang Reversal Technique" and greedily absorbed all the belief energy from the people in his county.

Soon, he felt his Yin God grow even more substantial.

Before long, all the belief power had been absorbed cleanly.

"Let's try again."

This time, when his Yin God emerged, it was no longer wearing the simple white robe but instead a purple gold crown, celestial robe, and cloud slippers, the clothes flowing as he moved.

"Wait, how come my appearance has changed too?"

Fang Yuan looked at his new appearance with some surprise, but soon realized that after absorbing belief power, his Yin God's appearance would change according to how people imagined him.

"Heh, now I really look like a proper deity!"

Fang Yuan smiled. Luckily, the people of Changqing County imagined him as a celestial being, not as a demon god.

Otherwise, his Yin God would have appeared as a hideous, menacing figure.

"Let's pause the cultivation for now. It's time to go and claim the other demon kings..."

With this thought, Fang Yuan's Yin God split again into six, each appearing solid and ethereal, just like an immortal celestial figure.

Leaving one Yin God to remain in the body, the other five soared into the sky, disappearing in an instant!
