Chapter 7 Three Contracts, This is Home

Demon control is known as the world's first demon control method. There are three types of contracts for this spell, namely the master-servant contract, the Taoyuan contract, and the gentleman's contract.

The master-servant contract is based on people, and the demon is the servant, as long as a monster is weak and powerless, you can sign a contract with it, once the contract is signed, the monster will always be dominated by the demon master, and must not betray, even if it is ordered to die.

And the most important thing about this contract is not to use youkai to fight, but to ......

Share the power.

In other words, using the contract, you can extract the power of the monster's growth to increase your own power, and the limit of absorbing power is limited to two ranks.

The power hierarchy of the Shura realm is divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and man. Each rank is also divided into three ranks: upper, middle, and lower.

For example, Wang Xiao, at this time, his strength was only an ordinary person. If Xu Qinshuang helped guide the qi machine to practice the "immortal decision", and after learning to control the demon decision, he could barely be regarded as entering the lower position of the human rank. If he was using a master-servant contract, then he could subdue at most one human-level demon beast. Even if his strength is only 1% of that monster.

The speed at which a practitioner grows depends on the speed at which he progresses. However, ordinary people can only grow at the speed of their own rank, and the speed at which the lower human level absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth can only be at the lower level of the human rank. If someone can have the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi absorption speed in the middle of the human rank, then he is a genius.

The higher the rank, the more Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi can be absorbed during the practice. However, the higher the rank, the slower the ascension. The reason why the higher the rank, the more difficult it is to upgrade is simply because when the cultivation reaches a high place, the more Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is required for each breakthrough. It's not that the speed of absorption is slower.

Let's take an analogy. It's like the online game in Wang Xiao's previous world, where newcomers who have just been established can only kill the lowest-level mobs, and they get very little experience. However, at low levels, you need very little experience to level up, so you can level up by fighting a few dozen mobs. And the higher the level, the stronger the monsters you can fight, and the more experience you get, but the slower the level up - because the more experience you need to level up in the later stages.

It's just that in the Shura world, it's not that you can upgrade by fighting monsters, upgrading depends on your own comprehension of power, and the absorption of the vitality of heaven and earth, and it is impossible to say that you can upgrade by summoning beasts to fight a few monsters.

Ordinary sects that use monsters to fight can only rely on monsters to fight, but they can't share the power that monsters absorb when they progress. It's equivalent to saying that it's time to fight monsters, and pets add experience points and players don't.

And the demon control duel can share the heaven and earth vitality absorbed by the demon when the demon is practicing.

In Wang Xiao's case, if he has a way to subdue a human-level demon beast or monster with a master-servant contract, then he can rely on the cultivation speed of a human-level demon beast to increase his speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth to make rapid progress.

What is the effect of using the speed of absorbing the vitality of the upper level of the human rank to increase the strength of a beginner at the lower level? It's just like a first-level newcomer in the game who opens a plug-in to directly cut down a level 30 monster to level up with experience.

The biggest flaw of this contract is that you can only sign a contract with one monster at a time. If you want to get a stronger monster, you must wait for the current monster to die. Moreover, when the monster beast dies, the contractor will also suffer a certain amount of damage and loss.

Of course, although it was flawed, this contract was the most used by the people of the Demon Control Sect at the beginning, and even almost all the disciples of the Demon Control Sect used it.

The second is the contract of life and death, which was also called the covenant of Taoyuan after it was introduced to Middle-earth. Because in Middle-earth, there is a common line when they marry brothers: do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, month, and day, which has the same effect as the life contract. And the most famous of the righteous brothers is Liu Guanzhang, the three saint-level masters in ancient times. The so-called holy level is the top master who has surpassed the heavenly level and broken through the heavenly tribulation. According to legend, these three were married in a peach orchard, so this kind of brotherly contract is also called the peach orchard covenant.

In addition to the effect of the brotherly contract, the effect of the brotherly contract also has an effect on the monsters that sign the contract with it (that is, the monsters can in turn share the heaven and earth vitality absorbed by the contract person), but also has one more effect: life sharing.

In other words, between the monster and the owner, in addition to the sharing of strength and progress, more is the sharing of life. One is injured, and according to the contractor's mastery of the demon mastery, the other will share the damage. And more, it is the sharing of Shouyuan. In other words, if you sign this contract with a dragon with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, then the contractor will also have the lifespan of the dragon. As for how much can be shared, it also depends on the mastery of the Demon Mastery.

Although this contract is very strong, it is also very restrictive:

First: There can only be one rank difference between the demon rider and the monster, which means that if the demon rider is a low-level person, then the highest monster that can sign can only be the middle rank of the human rank. Instead of being like a master-servant contract, you can sign a human hierarchy.

Second: This contract requires the youkai to be willing.

Third: Once the youkai who signed the blood pact dies, the demon rider himself will also die. Even if you use some secret methods and secret medicines to not die, you will inevitably become a wasted person.

So......

Although this kind of contract is of a higher grade than the master-servant contract, few people are willing or able to sign such a contract.

The last Gentleman's Covenant, originally known as the "Covenant of Equality", was renamed the Gentleman's Covenant after its inflow into Middle-earth. The meaning is: the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water.

The equal contract also requires the demon beast to be voluntary, and in terms of sharing power, it is mainly based on the will of the demon beast. There is no ability to restrain demon beasts, but this kind of contract that seems to be of no benefit to the demon rider is recorded as the highest level contract in "Demon Pilot".

It is unknown what special effect this gentleman's covenant has, anyway, since the existence of the Demon Control Sect, no one has learned this kind of equality contract, let alone practiced or used it.

"At the beginning, all the disciples of the Demon Control Sect were chosen master and servant contracts. Moreover, once his strength increases, he immediately deliberately sends the monsters he controls to death, and then joins forces to subdue higher monsters again to accelerate the improvement of his strength. It takes at least ten years for an ordinary cultivator to reach the upper level of the human hierarchy from the lower level of others. However, it often only takes two or three years for the people of the Demon Control Sect to go from the lower level of the human rank to the upper level of the human rank, or even less. And with the help of the Demon Control Decision, the Demon Control Sect has become one of the top ten cultivation sects in Shenzhou in just over 50 years, from a small sect with no name......" Xu Qinshuang said eloquently, while looking at the front with some distraction. At this time, the doors and windows were closed, and there was only flickering candlelight in the dim room, but I didn't know where Xu Qinshuang was looking.

Wang Xiao also heard the strength of the demon control at this time.

One of the top ten sects of cultivation in Shenzhou, this title is not simple.

There are many sects of cultivation in the land of Shenzhou, and there are constant disputes for fame and fortune, and they have been competing for the ranking of the top ten sects. Although the Great Han Kingdom, the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Tang Kingdom respectively took Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism as the state religions, a religion naturally has different sects. Taking the three major schools of the Great Han Kingdom as an example, they are divided into the "Shengyan Sect" with the "Analects" as the source of the school, the "Shesheng Sect" with "Mencius" as the root, and the "Qinglian Sect" with Li Bai as the ancestor. And the Qinglian Sect is also divided into "Poetry Sect" and "Sword Sect". There are even more small sects, such as the "Xiaoyao School" with "Wandering Away" as the root of the school, the "Entering the World Sect" with "The World" as the root, as well as the "Dream Butterfly Gate", "Health Sect" and so on......

Among so many sects, there are indisputably nine major sects.

At present, among the nine major schools, the Northern Han Dynasty accounts for three, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty accounts for four, and the Southern Tang Dynasty only accounts for two.

Before the appearance of the Demon Control Sect, it was originally one of the ten major sects, but the Desire Destroying Sect, which originally belonged to the Great Han Kingdom, was destroyed by the Demon Control Sect, and the Demon Control Sect was destroyed by the demons, so now there are only nine major sects left.

In terms of the three major sects of Confucianism now, they are all big schools with thousands of years of inheritance and incomparably deep family backgrounds. It is closely related to the country and people's livelihood, and it is entangled with the whole society, and it is impossible to calculate how strong it is.

For thousands of years, countless sects have disappeared in disputes, and countless sects have emerged. However, these ten major sects have been standing for thousands or even 10,000 years, and there have only been three changes during this period.

And the most recent one was because of the Demon Control Sect.

In just over fifty years, the Demon Control Sect was able to enter the top ten sects in one fell swoop, and even wiped out a former big name...... The strength of this kind of exercise is really terrifying.

However, at the same time, it is also conceivable how many youkai were captured in order to become such a powerful sect, and then deliberately sacrificed after the master's ability was improved......

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao sighed lightly: "Those ...... Youkai, what innocent ......"

Wang Xiao is not fake compassion, but he grew up in the 21st century, and most of the monsters he watches on TV are very humane and emotional, such as Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqian, or something. Unlike the people in the Shura realm, the demons in Wang Xiao's impression are more cute than humans......

Xu Qinshuang didn't know this, she only thought that Wang Xiao was compassionate and kind by nature, and said with relief: "Xiao'er, you can have such feelings, it can be seen that the master is not wrong." He exclaimed, "That's why it's ...... The demons couldn't stand such exploitation, and finally one day, the demons rose up, and under the leadership of the demon king 'Hao', they attacked the Demon Control Sect ......"

Xu Qinshuang didn't say anything, but Wang Xiao could obviously imagine that scene was definitely an extremely bloody scene.

Then, Wang Xiao suddenly felt a burst of sadness. The first enemies of those monsters are definitely those demons who are controlled and enslaved. Perhaps, what these demons want to fight to the death is their former relatives......

had to protect his enemies with his life, but he fought to the death with his relatives......

How sad is this?

When he thought of this, Wang Xiao suddenly realized that in fact, if he really learned this demon control decision, it might not be a blessing. Although according to Xu Qinshuang, the Demon Control Sect has been in decline for decades, but the lifespan of monsters is not comparable to that of humans. What if there are monsters who hate the Demon Control Sect and find out that they know how to control the demons...... I'm afraid I'm not dead enough.

But this thought was suppressed by Wang Xiao in a blink of an eye.

What's most important now?

Survive!

And in this world, you can't survive without power.

I don't have the strength to do anything.

If you don't have the strength, I'm afraid that Xiao Qisan who doesn't know where he came from can kill himself.

After practicing the demon mastery, it is possible to be revenged by the monster, and if you don't practice...... Not even qualified to be sought revenge by youkai!

Being hated by others also requires the ability to be the foundation.

Incompetent people are not even qualified to be hated!

Thinking of this truth, Wang Xiao also made up his mind, and smiled faintly: "The disciples are all clear, please teach the master." ”

Looking at Wang Xiao's faint smile, Xu Qinshuang lost her mind slightly, and then smiled. With a faint smile, a gentle gaze crossed Wang Xiao and looked at the distant days.

This apprentice seems to have received the right thing.

It doesn't matter what his background is, what story he has, and what kind of encounters he will have in the future...... At least, this kid is indeed a good seedling for practicing demon control. From my cultivation of the Demon Fighter for so many years, I can feel that this child's respect for me is true, and he will not harm me. And...... This child, as a wealthy family, was able to kneel outside the Lotus Root Hall for three days to seek a teacher, which shows his will, his character can be seen by his weak body for three consecutive months of miscellaneous labor, and his heart can be seen by being kind and pure despite the destruction of his family. Come to think of it, the demon control you left behind must have such a successor, and you should be satisfied......

Letting the sadness as light as Qiu Ju drift quietly in the memory, Xu Qinshuang retracted her thoughts and looked at Li Xianglian: "Lian'er, look for your father." Xiao'er has a special physique, and her mother's skills are not enough, so I am afraid that I will not be able to establish a foundation for him by myself. ”

Li Xianglian nodded and went out in response.

Wang Xiao's gratitude in his heart was even greater.

In the three months he has been in this Lotus Root Hall, he has also learned a lot about the world of cultivation. Therefore, Wang Xiao already knows that the "foundation" of taking disciples to get started needs to be the master's guide to his own natal true yuan, which is the most important key for cultivating the truth.

Generally, after helping a disciple open up the meridians and enter the "foundation" point in cultivation, the true yuan of the person who is a master will be lost a lot. For the consumption of true yuan, even ordinary battles and competitions cannot be compared. No matter how high the master's kung fu is, it will take at least three to five days to recover. What's more, it takes ten days and a half months, or even a month, to recover.

What I learned just now was that my physique was different from that of ordinary people in the Shura world, and I couldn't lay a foundation for myself with the strength of my master alone...... As a registered disciple auditor who is "not naturalized", he was able to get the foundation laid by the master and the master...... This was completely unimaginable before.

Wang Xiao swore again in his heart: What name is not naturalized? What kind of registered disciple auditor? This is no longer important! This is his future home. Since then, I have been a member of the Lotus Root Hall, and I will not regret it until I die!
