Di Jiu said helplessly, “What kind of cultivation technique are you using during your cultivation?”

“The Starry Demon Art. Do you want it? I will impart it to you…” As he spoke, Xie Huang took out an ancient jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu used his Spiritual Force to scan the jade slip, which indeed was the Starry Demon Art. He had originally wanted to wait till Xie Huang told him the name of the cultivation technique before asking Xie Huang if he could impart the technique to Di Jiu. He would immediately say that he could not impart his the moment Xie Huang said no.

However, although he had yet to say anything, Xie Huang had actively given him the Starry Demon Art. Why couldn’t Xie Huang be more cunning?

No matter how fearless Di Jiu was. he would not dare take Xie Huang’s Starry Demon Art. He would be seeking death if he did. Additionally, he would not be able to learn it even if Xie Huang did impart the cultivation technique to him. Furthermore, he felt that the Galaxy Art, or rather the Starry Sky Art, was good enough. There was no need for him to learn other cultivation techniques.

“Take it away. I will impart the refining method of the Starry Sky Tea to you.” Di Jiu could only return the Starry Demon Art to Xie Huang while agreeing to impart the other method to him.

He had long since come up with a Tea Art for refining the Starry Sky Tea. Di Jiu knew very well that Xie Huang would not be able to refine the true Starry Sky Tea even if the latter knew the refining method and the Tea Art.

This was because the understanding of the Foundational Orders was required as well. One also needed to possess the Creation Cauldron and Dao fire and to have cultivated the Starry Sky Art. Xie Huang possessed none of the above.

“Thank you so much, Big Brother.” Xie Huang stood up and rubbed his hands, his eyes shining with delight.

Di Jiu gave Xie Huang a jade slip. “In these records are the steps to make the Starry Sky Tea, as well as the Tea Art. Other than that, a special teacup is required to make the Starry Sky Tea. Don’t even think of refining a Starry Sky Tea like mine. However, so long as you work hard, you will still be able to make a Starry Sky Tea of average quality.”

“Big Brother, I only need to refine a Starry Sky Tea that will impress my father.” Xie Huang chuckled and carefully put away the jade slip Di Jiu had given him.

Di Jiu asked, “Is it that important to you to impress your father?”

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, Xie Huang, who was being very carefree, sighed and sat down with a desolate expression. “Actually, this is also why I came to find you.”

“Tell me.” Di Jiu had a good impression of Xie Huang due to the latter’s honest character. He preferred him compared to people who were hypocrites.

Xie Huang laughed self-derisively. “Everywhere I go, I rely on my father’s name. My father, who is called Xie Wanling, is one of the top-notch Immortal Emperors of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent. The Starry Demon Palace was one of the five Major Immortal Sects of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent. I’m an only child, so my mother doted on me. The friends I made usually were geniuses of top-notch sects and descendants of Immortal Emperors…”

Upon saying this, Xie Huang shook his head and chuckled. “I was extremely doted on by my mother. When I was only eight years old, I had already learned how to tease my maidservants. When I was 10 years old, a very good friend of mine told me that I would become their ‘boss’ if I managed to successfully conquer the youngest daughter of Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty, Yue He-er.”

As he said this, Xie Huang pulled his hair and his face turned pale once again.

Di Jiu had already vaguely guessed what was going on. This matter was most likely not as simple as it seemed, even though Xie Huang’s father was an Immortal Emperor. It was impossible to let this go easily given that the daughter of an Immortal Emperor had been violated.

As expected, with a face devoid of color, Xie Huang said, “I believed their words and copulated with her after rendering Yue He-er unconscious using the elixir given to me by that friend of mine… He he… The very next day, Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty received the evidence of my deeds.”

Di Jiu predicted that Xie Huang’s friends must have conspired against him. The target had been Xie Huang’s father, not Xie Huang himself.

Both Xie Huang’s voice and facial expression were lifeless. “Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty invited numerous Immortal Emperors to head to the Starry Demon Palace together and demanded an explanation from my father. In a fit of anger, my father tried to kill me. My mother naturally would not allow that to happen and stopped him. This caused my father to think that it was all my mother’s fault for doting on me too much. Thus, he confined her in an underground jail of the Starry Demon Palace. She remains confined there until now.”

“You guessed that you were sabotaged by your friends?” Di Jiu pitied Xie Huang.

Xie Huang nodded his head. “I wasn’t very affected when my mother was first locked up, nor did I realize that I was being plotted against. Therefore, I continued to play happily with those friends of mine and cause trouble everywhere… One day, I realized that all of them had attained the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm or higher realms, while I was still stuck at the early-stage Grand Zenith Immortal Realm, which I had attained through the mass consumption of elixirs. I no longer felt comfortable playing with them. Instead, I self-confined myself at home and played with women even more. Many years passed and some of my Spirit Qi and vitality were all spent on fulfilling my sexual desires. Others became more powerful while I only became weaker. He he…”

Di Jiu frowned and asked in confusion, “Xie Huang, even if you were young and ignorant, shouldn’t your father have been able to recognize that you were being plotted against? Why would he still allow you to continue playing with those friends of yours?”

Xie Huang’s hand quivered. He spoke after a long moment. “I believe that my father had given up on me.”

“Are you your father’s only son?” asked Di Jiu.

Xie Huang nodded his head but then shook it immediately. “I had always thought that I was his only son. It was only later that I discovered that he must have a new successor.”

Xie Huang did not explain how he had discovered that his father had another son, and Di Jiu did not insist. Instead, Di Jiu asked, “Xie Huang, the fact that you said all this implies that you’re aware of your own flaws. Why did you give up on yourself in this manner? Your father is an Immortal Emperor and the Palatial Lord of the Starry Demon Palace. Logically speaking, your potential must be good. You should not have to worry about lacking cultivating resources.”

“There’s something you do not know.” Xie Huang’s expression lost the carelessness it contained, and the good-for-nothing demeanor he’d had when he’d first come in disappeared. Only pain and bitterness remained on his face. “The wildness I had when I was younger was learned from my friends. I restrained myself as I grew older. Otherwise, how could I have possibly cultivated till the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm?”

“Did you know that, when I was 10 years old, I was already at the Domain Realm? Following that incident, I frantically cultivated and attained the Immortal Lord Realm in a few years. After that, however, my sexual drive increased tremendously and I could not stop it. If this incident could be summed up as me playfully misusing my identity as the Starry Demon Palace’s Young Palatial Lord, then what happened afterward could be summed up as me getting completely lost in these acts.”

“Several hundreds of years had now passed. I could only rely on consuming elixirs to advance my cultivation from the Golden Immortal Realm to the early-stage Grand Zenith Immortal Realm, which is where no cultivation improvements could be made, no matter what. I am spending my days in the Starry Demon Palace lifelessly and uselessly while waiting for my death to come while having sexual intercourse. The reason I can come to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City is because Excellency Luan refined some elixirs for me that can barely repress my sexual desires.”

Di Jiu’s heart sank as he suddenly remembered that he had read about a spirit body known as the Desire Relegation Spirit Body in the Book of the World. This type of spirit body was extremely rare. It was present in less than one in 100 million. Furthermore, it could only be present in females.

Mo Yuxuan’s Nirmala Spirit Body, for example, was able to allow one’s cultivation to soar tremendously and have a top-notch aptitude. Although she appeared to be pure and celestial, the Desire Relegation Spirit Body could not be detected when one was below 16. The moment one became 16 years old, their sexual desire would explode immensely. A woman who possessed such a spirit body would become an extremely scary wench.

The only cure for this was to relegate this desire to someone else before this cultivator hit 16. The process of desire relegation was a very simple one. It involved giving up one’s virginity to a guy, who would have to accept this poison of desire on the day they turned 16. This poison was completely undetectable and would show its effect several years later.

It was evident that someone had plotted against Xie Huang. The culprit was not only his friend but also Yue He-er, whom he had raped.

The fact that Xie Huang was able to retain such a pleasant mental state, despite being plotted against by a woman who possessed a Desire Relegation Spirit Body, showed that he possessed a good temperament.

“Was Yue He-er 16 years old when you were with her?” asked Di Jiu out of the blue.

Xie Huang looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. “How did you know?”

This matter had concluded with the confinement of the wife of the Starry Demon Palace’s Palatial Lord. Hence, it was considered a taboo topic that had to be kept under wraps. How then did Di Jiu know about it?

Di Jiu sighed. “I suppose that, by now, you must know that you were being plotted against. The reason you could not cultivate perhaps could be related to this as well.”

“That is right. That best friend of mine had plotted against me. I did ponder over it carefully afterward. Some years had passed between the time when I could not cultivate and that incident. However, I guessed that these two matters were related,” said Xie Huang in a grave voice.

Di Jiu knew that Xie Huang still was unaware of who had plotted against him. However, Di Jiu guessed that it must have been the efforts of both his best friend and Yue He-er. Even Yue He-er’s father, Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty, had most likely had a hand in this as well.

“Did your father know about this matter?” asked Di Jiu.

Xie Huang shook his head. He had not dared to tell his father about this. He had been worried that it would incite another conversation between his father and Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty. The first time this had happened, his mother had been locked up. Who knew what would happen if there was a second time?

Di Jiu chuckled as he walked over to Xie Huang and clapped him on the shoulders. “Your temperament is not bad. However, I could tell you resolutely that your father definitely knows that you were sabotaged by others and that you could not cultivate.”

Di Jiu was unsure as to whether Xie Huang’s father, Xie Wanling, knew that Xie Huang had been targeted by the Desire Relegation Spirit Body. After all, this type of spirit body was so rare that even Immortal Emperors might not know much about it.

However, Di Jiu was certain that Xie Huang’s feeling was accurate. Xie Wanling must surely have given up on Xie Huang and even had a new son. This meant that Xie Huang had lost his position as the Young Palatial Lord, and the true future Young Palatial Lord would be Xie Huang’s younger brother, who had the same father but a different mother.

“Big Brother, you know what happened to me?” Xie Huang finally reacted as Di Jiu’s words evidently revealed that he knew what had happened.

Xie Huang had never lied during this entire conversation, so Di Jiu did not lie to him either. He nodded his head and said, “That’s right. I know indeed.”
