Lusting of the Demi God, Semi Devil.

Wu Long sat cross-legged. His hands switched between numerous mudras, as strange archaic language spewed from his lips.

Surrounding him were various objects ranging from precious metals, to rare herbs.

As time continued slowly a visible effect could be seen from the objects, varying from directly becoming ash, or becoming rusted and deformed.

Wu Long began to chant louder, and soon a heavy pulse shook from the center of each of the objects. From each object a radiating globular ball of energy rose up.

The balls of energy dove through his skin, swimming through his veins and muscles, reforming the tissue, and recasting the bones, then sinking into his organs.

He let out a deep breath, and a plume of black particles were released.

Wu Long opened his eyes and said, "First Realm of Human deference achieved."

In the world he currently existed only martial arts existed.

The realms of power were described as Novice, learnt warrior, Apprentice knight, Knight, Great Knight, Arch knight, Martial intrigue, Martial expert, Martial Prince, Martial King, Martial Emperor, and finally Martial God.

There was no real difference, except one's strength and skill, thus even a novice if lucky could kill a Martial God.

Yet in the land of Immortals nothing like that existed.

Instead each stage was an insurmountable barrier than distinguished one as a God and as an Ant.

The first realm was Human deference was to throw away one's original body, and bore an Immortal physique. Not mortal, but not Immortal. A tempering shell, for the mold to he birthed.

No real effect could be seen at this stage, and one couldn't even use supernatural powers. Yet if one compares the weakest Human deference cultivator to a martial artist from his original world, it would be comparable to Martial King very easily. Towards the end mortal weapons and means could never hurt you, cannons would be but a sting of a bee, swords barely leaving a mark. Even the full force of 3 martial Gods stacked could do any real damage.

It was quite literally inhumane.

Yet even then, Human deference cultivators truly were trash, even children in the Immortal realm were at least at Divine Gate stage. Meanwhile him an accomplished martial artist who worked all his Early years only now had the strength of a 6 month old child.

Wu Long couldn't help laugh.

Wu Long was using the Introdutry manual that the Ancient Nightmare left behind, as well as two other introductory techniques he gathered from his mothers clan, the Huang royal family crypt. They didn't even know two Immortal technique's hid under their nose.

These three in cooperation under Wu Long's expertise turned into a very powerful technique, comparable to the sect technique's for the God schools in the Immortal realm. Of course for the children of the elders nothing more...

Wu Long then broke a thin incense stick, a whiff of scent broke out, it was made of powerful beast blood and various other herbs, it's effect was incredibly potent causing increased vigor. Wu Long breathed in the thick fumes, and as they filled his lungs a heavy pain suffocated him.

He closed his eyes again, yet this time his body began to twitch at certain moments at his command, and then he began to twist like a snake. Coiling his back without restraint.

With one leg in the air, the other leg stood on only one toe. His hands were constantly moving, and he began to again chant.

Hours passed.

Sweat had continuously beaded upon Wu Long's head. He looked completely helpless.

Yet suddenly he body began to shine in a brilliant red color.

The process only lasted a few seconds yet when done, Wu Long completely differently.

His Black hair was now white with red at the ends, and his skin was whiter than paper without an imperfection. His black eyes were now blood red with a Taiji symbol spinning in them.

His muscles had exploded out and he looked huge contrasting his slim frame.

Wu Long stood up and examining his body with a cold smile.

"The Taiji sage and the ancient nightmare, both of them left inheritances. When I killed Ye Zheng's family I found the manual for his Taiji Immortal technique, as well as the requirements for the Sun God body, and the Moon Goddess physique."

While the Ancient Nightmare was smarter and better at techniques and learnt abilities like alchemy, the Taiji sage was the opposite with a stern pursuit of pure strength.

It was no wonder they were lifelong enemies, even going as far as to perish together in this realm.

Thankfully the Ancient Nightmare was the inheritance Wu Long found first, he was incompatible with the Taiji sage and his naive morals and beliefs, while he was very similar to the Ancient Nightmares cunning and spite.

If one wasn't enough he would devour both!

"It was extremely difficult to merge the Spurn of Heaven and the Taiji Immortal technique, luckily I am only working on the First section involved in the human deference stage." Wu Long appreciated the situation.

Both techniques, well most accurately most Immortal technique's required the person to at least be at Divine Gate stage where they could open the divine gate in their Seven deity crown, and thus gather celestial Energy.

Yet there were some notes involved which described any benefits one could gain using similar, weaker methods that could allow some changes.

Most notably both offered a physique that could be gained in Human deference stage.

Physiques were extremely important, alongside divine bones, bloodlines, organs, and finally spirit roots. They typically were inborn, yet could to some degree mimicked. Unless one gained a fantastic opportunity to completely malform their body, and transform their entirety from a mere drop of blood, they would be unable to gain these fantastic powers naturally. Of course they could also be stolen until one passed Divinity crossing stage.

Yet another way was through the use of specific extremely difficult techniques.

His spurn of Heaven gave the Heaven denying Physique, and for the better manuals even the Heaven trampling bones were available.

Of course compared to the original they were pale imitations, but better than nothing.

Ye Zheng's technique gave one the Sun God body, and the Mood Goddess physique. Basically the outside would be full of Yang and unbelievably strong, while the inside tempered in Yin making energy flow extremely smoothly.

While Wu Long had to an extent succeeded in producing a successful result from the two technique's it was quite removed from any actual practicality.

The physiques hadn't properly merged.

Yet Wu Long didn't despair completely, the fact he had this simple semblance of effort meant something.

He stood up. Until his Human deference stage 1 fused properly with his body, he was unable to do anything.

He decided to work on his physique.

He began to do push ups, ending as soon as his muscles felt like exploding.

When he rested and ate some pills he continued, doing every exercise he had done since he was old enough. Again, and again. For a month, he had trained consistently.

The muscles on his body instead of becoming bigger, instead they became compact bursting with vitality and strength, yet sunk below his skin like a crouching Tiger.

His eyes expressed his deep vigor.

"In the original timeline Ye Zheng would get the inheritance of a Martial God in 6 months time, before then I need to reach Human deference stage 9 to completely make sure his unbelievable luck couldn't help him."

Wu Long traversed the long columns of medicines like the grade 9 Marrow cleansing Pill, and the Grade 9 Dragon extending pill, the grade 9 Deviant chasing pill.

Wu Long couldn't help sigh, he had already known this, but seeing his options left him unbelievably horrid.

The marrow cleansing pill was the only good medicinal pill present. Although all hundred were grade 9 and of superb quality, the fact remained nothing was nothing. Dragon Extending pill was a fancy name for a sex drug for the impotent martial artist. Deviant chasing pill was borderline a poison, it caused heart demons to be born, and caused heart Devils to be born from preexisting heart demons.

The rest were similarly useless.

It wasn't that the sect was so backwards that it only collected these trash, but just his unlucky timing. Only a month ago it was filled with Inner Qi pills, and Heavenly revolting pills, and even Essence pills, all amazing medicines that could help him. Yet all these treasures were swept away by Ye Zheng to reach martial king, by his damn father in law.

Yet even Tian Yinzi couldn't do as he pleased. As he stole the good grade 9 pills, he switched them with these trash so no one would notice.

Yet as he was about to leave the rack of pills, a sharp pain filled his mind and a medicinal pill recipe showed itself.
