Abbot Xinzi/Skills

## Cultivation Methods

### Reincarnation of Mahasura

The Reincarnation of Mahasura enabled demons to cultivate six floating arms, each wielding a demon heart. The hearts produced Danavas, a confederacy of six high-ranking demon races that each boasted a formidable innate skill. Once Xinzi cultivated the skill to the sixth level, he could combine the six demon hearts into one and be reborn as a Mahasura—ferocious member of the devil race.

### Five Elements Transmutative Technique

A Qi cultivation method that allows Xinzi to combine and transmute the 5 main elements without drawbacks as long as he has the has the necessary energy requirement.

### Blissful Extinction Art

A flawless dual cultivation method that Hengye Yuemi gave to Xinzi.

### Devil Root Refining Sutra

split into two sections of black and white text: the Master and Servant Sutra. The Servant Sutra enabled any cultivator of any race to get enlightenment in the mysteries of heaven and earth, emotions and desires, not only boosting their comprehension skills by an extreme margin but also increasing their raw cultivation speed exponentially. By relying on that method, they would never face any bottleneck. The need for external resources also shrank massively, enabling the Servant Sutra cultivators to solely focus on secluded cultivation. As soon as they comprehended the sutra's principles, they'd condense a White Demon Heart and go through one body transformation to become Demon Nobles.

Needless to say, all this came with a catch—several in fact. The Master Sutra cultivator could do with the Servants as he pleased. Any boost to their cultivation speed and comprehension abilities would add to the master's as well. And if he ever felt like it, he could drain their cultivation to supplement his. For example in a scenario, Xinzi was the Master, and the Yan Spirit clan the Servants.

## Bloodline Abilities

### Silk Shifter

Demon body's bloodline. Though the lowest of demons could still wipe the floor with most humans at the same cultivation level, Silk Shifters ranked so low that, in the Infernal Paradise, most served as maids or paramours for more prominent demons. Endowed with the unique ability to modify their appearance and clothes as they pleased, Silk Shifters could also shelter themselves and trap their opponents in threads of adamantine silk. Although useful in clever hands, this was not a particularly impressive resume for a budding devil.

### Heart Shifter

Xinzi could read the emotions and desires of those around him like an open book, alter the thought process of the feeble, and become a flawless incarnation of the people he read.

### Vetala Heart

Granting Xinzi control over dead souls and corpses. He could also steal vulnerable souls and curse his targets with insanity.

### Blood Shifter

It can exsanguinate vulnerable opponents to drain their bloodlines and reinforce its own. Likewise, Blood-Shifters could steal the lineage of those they drained, stealing the purest form of their bloodline abilities. These innate abilities only had one drawback: Blood-Shifters could only steal one bloodline at a time, and would have to give it up if they tried to take another one.

## Other Abilities

### Immemorial Blood Gu

A gu-worm that Tusha has infected Xinzi's body with. The gu-worm burrows itself inside the heart and inflates the cultivators Blood Energy, while also demonizing them at the same time. Not only that, but it also unlocks the Swallowing Skill, which the infected cultivator can now abuse.

### Swallowing Skill

The trademark of the demons and main reason while all other races despised them, the Swallowing Skill enabled the user to strip and refine what they craved. World Oddities such as the Ice-Glazed Lichen aside, there was virtually nothing that innate skill couldn't refine—granted that the target couldn't resist the caster.

The Swallowing Skill evolved alongside the demon's rank, enabling the lords of the Infernal Paradise to consume entire worlds if they so wished. Xinzi started with the lowest tier of that technique, but by pairing it with his Void Spiritual root, his cultivation speed and battle power growth pace would experience a meteoric rise. Lifeforms, treasures, oddities; as long as he could incapacitate them through tricks or overwhelm them with his cultivation base, Xinzi would be able to absorb anything.

### Metamorphic Flame Attribute

The Metamorphic Flames that now filled his Void Spiritual Root. These magenta colored flames could not only shift into any type of flame under the heavens, but they could also incorporate the principles of the Five Elements, thereby enabling Xinzi to mirror Xiao Hu's flying ability without a Pulse Condensation cultivation base.

### Three Steps

This is legacy skill of Abbot Qingxin. One step to topple the land. Two steps to overturn the seas. Three steps to destroy the Heavens.

### Glorious Eye of Heaven (Main Body)

This eye could see through all facets of reality, and only the Thousand-Faced God's Dark Eye of Heaven could suppress its radiant gaze.

## Tools & Equipment

### Thousand Soul Immolation Flag

Xinzi's Life Treasure that he forged from Evil Qi and 3,000 souls of the Fen Spirit Clan. The flag is 2.5m tall, colored in red and is embroidered with the names of each Fen Spirit clansmen. The flag is able to enhance his Blood Energy or draw power from it. It is shown capable of unleashing meteors of soul-blood flames from the souls it contains.
