Regarding the situation of the Ghost Bride, Lin Jing and the Thunder Dragon Ancestor rely stayed silent for a mont before regaining their composure, their inner strength particularly formidable.
It’s just love between two female cultivators, nothing significant.
After all, compared to ancient intermarriages between demon and human races, compared to the love between the Beast Taming Sect Leader’s senior disciple Ouyang Hao and a beast-form demon beast, at least their races are consistent.
"Thank you for bringing the marriage contract."
The Ghost Bride erged from the river of mories: "I will abide by the agreent, be sealed by him for a year, and lend my strength for his use."
"However, our power gap is quite significant, even if I cooperate willingly, with his strength, he might still find it difficult to wield my power."
"After all, my power is sothing even I couldn’t perfectly control at the beginning."
The reason the Ghost Bride is so powerful now is not that she was extraordinarily strong during her lifeti, but due to her special physique and her death on an ancient battlefield. This ghostly form absorbed the power of nurous battlefield souls over long years.
This power not cultivated through her own efforts is also the reason for the Ghost Bride’s poor condition.
Although she has regained so mories through objects from her lifeti, and her consciousness now dominates the ghostly form, completely consolidating her power will likely require so ti.
The Ghost Bride could not guarantee that the power she lent out could be perfectly controlled by Lin Jing.
"There’s still ti."
The coachman-looking Thunder Dragon Ancestor spoke: "There’s still half a year left; during this ti, let His Highness the Saint Son study your Dao and beco familiar with your power."
"My Dao..." The Ghost Bride was puzzled.
Being an experienced ancestor of a clan, the Thunder Dragon Ancestor began to explain to the Ghost Bride.
"Due to fortuitous circumstances, you were born; you might not know much about the cultivation path, so let inform you!"
"We won’t discuss the early stages of the cultivation path, let’s just talk about the Divinity Transformation, Void Profound, Realm of Inquiry..."
"The path of Divinity Transformation is the process of becoming a divine spirit of heaven and earth, cultivating the power of heaven and earth, capable of upheaval in a single thought."
"And moving from Divinity Transformation to Void Profound involves, on this basis, mastering space power and developing a space within one’s own body."
"Void Profound Cultivators then reconstruct their inner space using the power of heaven and earth cultivated during the Divinity Transformation Stage, simulating the creation of the Heavenly Dao; this is the path to Void Profound."
"The life-and-death battle of the Void Profound is where cultivators transform their inner world into a Void Profound domain, competing to see whose space domain is stronger!"
"However, this is only the path of the early and mid-stage Void Profound; by the later stage, as the Void Profound domain gradually perfects, the cultivator must seek a higher result, which is to find one’s own Dao. This Dao is akin to the soul or will of a world, supplying a rule to one’s inner Void Profound domain."
"The consciousness of a Void Profound Cultivator transforms into the Dao, becoming the Heavenly Dao of their inner world. Completing all of this is what constitutes Void Profound Great Perfection."
"This process is also referred to as rging with the Dao. Thus, the Void Profound Realm can roughly be divided into two stages: Refining the Void and rging with the Dao."
"The Refining the Void phase is creating a space within the body and refining the void, perfecting the internal space domain."
"The rging with the Dao phase involves the personal consciousness transforming into the will of the Dao, rging into the Void Profound World, simulating the Heavenly Dao."
"Your talent is exceptional; just by regaining your mory, you’ve already ford a rudintary Dao. Earlier, you suppressed the residual consciousness within you that wished to dominate the body with the Dao of Obsession."
"Your quest for your husband, uh, wife, uh, whoever, this obsession transford you from human to ghost, leading you from an incomplete form to becoming a complete Ghost Cultivator who dominates a form. Thus, this Dao is the foundation of everything for you now."
"And when you succeed in rging with the Dao in the future, thoroughly mastering this Dao of Obsession, as long as your obsession remains, you will be an insurmountable existence, even if all that’s left is a re wisp of residual soul, you would remain indestructible."
"This is the Dao."
"As for the Realm of Inquiry, it’s still too early for you. But ultimately, it’s about using your own Dao to contend with others’ Dao and the Heavenly Dao. If in this process your Dao does not collapse and overcos others’ Dao, then your power will likewise grow stronger. The so-called inquiry of Dao is essentially testing if your own Dao is strong enough."
"When the Dao is honed to perfection, breaking the restrictions of lower realm Heavenly Dao rules, one would reach the so-called Ascension Realm."
The Ghost Bride pondered: "So my Dao is the Dao of Obsession."
"That’s right, the Dao of Obsession entered through emotion! So enter through emotion; others, through severance of emotion. Emotion is one of the more common ways to enter the Dao." The Thunder Dragon Ancestor nodded.
"So your aning, senior, is to have try to learn her Dao as well, but how am I to learn it? Moreover, the Dao of Obsession may not necessarily align with my own Dao. If I learn it, will it affect my subsequent cultivation?" Lin Jing raised his doubts.
The Thunder Dragon Ancestor said: "For every cultivator, the cultivation process requires facing countless choices; each choice could potentially beco a Dao. There are no rules stating that each cultivator can only have one Dao."
"For example, I’ve rged with the Dao three tis, choosing three different paths. Unfortunately, each Dao couldn’t allow to break through the shackles to enter the Realm of Inquiry."
"Ultimately, it’s because my Dao wasn’t strong or aligned enough to even take the first step in inquiry of Dao."
"So, delving into the Dao of Obsession will not affect His Highness the Saint Son’s future. It’s like temporarily learning a spell. Currently, His Highness’s cultivation is still low, and he hasn’t found his own Dao yet. But as he steps into the Void Profound Realm, there will certainly be countless paths to choose from. At that ti, the crucial thing is selecting the Dao His Highness finds most aligned for rging with the Dao."
"After all, choosing wrongly is akin to walking the wrong path, wasting countless years unable to inquire the Dao. Those who fail to break through to the Realm of Inquiry invariably chose a Dao not aligned with themselves."
"In essence, comprehending the Dao of Obsession now does not an you need to rge with it later; it’s just to better integrate with the Ghost Bride’s power at present."
Lin Jing nodded, Void Profound rging with the Dao certainly seed very distant to him now.
Having only cultivated to the Golden Core Stage, he didn’t yet have a concept of his own ’Dao.’
This Dao does not refer to Sword Dao, Onmyo-Dō, Illusory Dao, or other magical paths, but rather to what supports a cultivator to progress to the highest realm.
Lin Jing pondered; currently, he was likely still in the ’Seeking Dao’ stage, yet to find his own Dao. And if he reached the Void Profound Stage without finding it, perhaps he would remain forever stuck at the bottleneck of early to mid-Void Profound without advancing further.
"What will my Dao be?"
