Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 480 Evil Arts?

Meng Ying shook her head with a wry smile, "I must first learn the Sky Word Language completely before starting to cultivate, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rest assured of my comprehension of the manual."
Mo Mingzhi gave off an "Oh" of understanding.
Indeed, if Davis hadn't translated the Body Tempering Cultivation for her, she wouldn't have dared to start cultivation before learning the common language either.
But then, why didn't Viktor, her boyfriend didn't translate the manuals to her in Chinese?
She couldn't help but ask.
Meng Ying chuckled, "He's kinda bitter that his elder brother, the Emperor had entered the Sixth Stage while he is still stuck in the Fifth Stage of Essence Gathering Cultivation."
"That's why he had decided to seclude himself in cultivation for a few months..."
'Elder Brother? The Emperor? Oh, the current father of Tian Long?' Mo Mingzhi inwardly understood and connected the information she had heard before.
The castle maids had spread that the Crown Prince is the strongest cultivator in the Loret Empire... Then that inversely meant that the Crown Prince was also stronger than the Emperor.
'That means... Tian Long is at the Sixth Stage or above?' Mo Mingzhi drew in a cold amount of breath.
'I would never catch up to him this rate! Not even hover behind him!' She inwardly shouted as a sense of urgency welled up in her mind threatening to suffocate her.
But how!? How can it be!?
There should be only about a 14-year gap between their ages, yet, Tian Long had managed to widen the cultivation difference to such an extent?
After cultivating the First Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation, she understood how difficult it is for a person to cultivate.
If she didn't have the body tempering pills belonging to Davis which helped her a lot, she felt that she wouldn't have broken through the Second Stage of Body Tempering Cultivation this soon.
In fact, she felt that she had already lost her prime years since it is told that every person here would start cultivating from a young age, fully utilizing their potential.
But she? She was already more than 30 years old! Right now, she was around 38! She had already lost plenty of her prime years to cultivate!
But in her perspective, Tian Long had managed to precisely achieve this in the latter part of his years!
'How!?'
Mo Mingzhi couldn't help but doubt this point. Her intuition as an investigator said that there was something wrong with Tian Long's history according to logic but she also felt the cultivation world would never adhere to logic.
"What's wrong? If you don't understand who is who, you can always ask me!" Meng Ying lifted up her glasses proudly as she adjusted it, "Unlike you who have been left alone, Viktor told me everything he knows about this place."
'Bragging about your boyfriend...' Mo Mingzhi's eyes twitched as she felt an arrow pierce her heart. However, as an adult, she didn't mind and instead wanted to borrow her knowledge.
"Then can you give me a fair account of the people who are important in the Royal Castle?"
"Sure!" Meng Ying chimed as if she was happy to help, "But before that, let me procure some books to read and we can chat in your place or mine."
Mo Mingzhi nodded her head in agreement.
However she was astonished, 'One can also take the books away from here?'
She didn't know about this matter at all! She thought in these places with tons of knowledge pertaining to cultivation secrets, they wouldn't be allowed to take the books out.
Indeed, taking the books out weren't permitted.
She didn't know that Tian Long had already permitted her to take books while Viktor had permitted Meng Ying.
Meng Ying walked through the current section and left towards another section which hosted many other books.
Once Mo Mingzhi saw that Meng Ying had left and confirmed that her presence was no longer near her, she instantly turned her attention to the book below her as she continued to read.
When she opened the book, she stumbled on a random page in the latter pages and tried to decipher what was written.
'This method is the quickest method to increase a person's cultivation, at least, according to my tests.'
'All these methods to quickly increase a person's cultivation method has potential risks, and this one method is no stranger to that condition but different from the other methods, this method is considered outright evil, devoid of conscience!'
'It is called - Blood Refining Arts!'
'Once you kill a cultivator, you would normally leave it out in the open to rot! But with the evil Blood Refining Arts, the corpses are resources!'
'One would think the cadaveric aura of the corpse would weaken you but if you refine the blood of the dead cultivator completely, it would result in a tremendous increase in your Essence Gathering Cultivation!'
'A bit of warning... Unless you want your body to look ugly or abnormal, don't attempt to use this method to increase your Body Tempering Cultivation because this method is not suitable for refining the blood of other humans.'
'Maybe another manual to refine blood and increase Body Tempering Cultivation exists but I haven't found it, so I would advise you to not cultivate your Body Tempering Cultivation with it.'
'As for the Blood Refining Arts being proclaimed evil... Hmph!'
'Aren't we killing humans in the name of justice or just for entertainment!?'
'Aren't we using Magical Beast corpses for alchemical and eating purposes!?'
'I don't see anything wrong with this method unless you use it on innocents!'
Mo Mingzhi was about to continue in interest when she heard the distant footsteps. She closed the book and kept it on the bookshelf along with the other two books she had read.
In two seconds, the silhouette of Meng Ying turned visible, "I'm ready, where should we go? Your place or mine?"
She walked towards Mo Mingzhi with a few books carried on her arms.
"How about an open place where I can get some fresh air?" Mo Mingzhi raised her brows as she automatically extended her hands, wanting to help the other party carry books.
Meng Ying turned startled before she let Mo Mingzhi take some books away from her pile as her burden lightened, "Thanks! Of course, with you being locked up in your room all day, I know the perfect place to get some fresh air!"
"Where?"
Meng Ying smiled with a wink, "The park!"
"The park?" Mo Mingzhi turned confused.
======
On the top floor of the Royal Castle, Rooftop Terrace, The Park.
Mo Mingzhi looked at the sight in front of her with widened eyes but it only lasted for a moment before she shook her head.
"How is it? The first time I saw this, I was also surprised. Never would I have expected for an architecture closely resembling a modern park to be built here..."
'Duh... Of course, the Crown Prince is someone from Earth... Particularly Chinese...' Mo Mingzhi inwardly laughed and didn't speak out her thoughts.
From the edge of the terrace, Meng Ying then pointed to the buildings which were far away from the Royal Castle.
"Look! That building resembles an ancient European Architecture."
"The building to the far right also resembles the architecture of our Ancient Chinese Residence!"
"Look!..."
Meng Ying excitedly pointed out her findings of a few more buildings which resembled the architectures from the earth before she sighed in exasperation, "Does this mean that our Earth and this environment have interacted at some point in the past?"
Even Mo Mingzhi was stumped to give an answer.
'Even if Tian Long is the Crown Prince, he shouldn't have built all this... right?' She couldn't help but doubt.
