"Thank you, senior!"
Yi Tianchou, having received the transmission of the technique, was ecstatic, "If this junior can refine the Primordial Spirit and avenge my great enmity, I will assuredly repay the kindness of my predecessor! If I am still alive by then, I will co to your doorstep and let you command as you will!"
After saying this, he kowtowed eight tis with loud thumps before exiting the cave dwelling and turned into a streak of light that sped away.
"Just go, I have a Long-distance Communication Talisman here for you. If you encounter any difficulties while cultivating the technique, you can ask for help!"
Zhong Shenxiu, upon seeing his experintal subject fleeing, pondered for a mont, then cast a streak of light that caught up with Yi Tianchou’s disappearing trail.
Within that streak of light, wrapped a Magic Artifact, which was a communication talisman that Zhong Shenxiu had casually refined.
By doing so, it was akin to seemingly setting an animal free while actually fitting it with a tracking and monitoring system.
It appeared as giving freedom, yet every movent was under surveillance, convenient for monitoring the progress of the cultivation technique and for making tily adjustnts.
And Yi Tianchou, he had no choice.
His fleeing light ceased, and he caught the Long-distance Communication Talisman, then nodded towards the direction of the cave dwelling before truly departing.
...
Liang Xiao, witnessing this scene, was imnsely shaken: "Teacher... truly has a Secret Technique for refining the Primordial Spirit!"
"The thod of Achieving the Yin God by Slaying the Three Corpses is too dangerous. After all, how significant are the three souls? A single mishap could turn one into a madman..."
Zhong Shenxiu sighed, "The success rate of this thod doesn’t exceed ten percent, yet this Yi Tianchou acts as if he’s found a treasure. Obviously, in his thirst for revenge, he’s gone mad!"
"A ten percent chance to cultivate the Three Corpses Primordial Spirit is already very high," Liang Xiao said, prostrating again, "Please teach the true thod, teacher!"
"Mm, you are indeed a fortunate one. I shall not transmit the Three Souls thod to you, but instead, I will teach you the Seven Spirits thod!"
Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily and with a flick of his finger, he imprinted a spell into Liang Xiao’s sea of consciousness: "The prior Three Corpses Skill was a cultivation technique derived from my research on the three souls out of the seven spirits and souls. This Seven Killings Primordial Spirit Skill is an evolution from the cultivation of the seven spirits... combined with the technique of the Destiny Box, it does not trouble the three souls of the cultivator but starts with the seven spirits, excelling in preserving life!"
This was also because Liang Xiao had shown exceptional abilities in preserving his own life; he was truly fated.
"The seven spirits are the Corpse Dog, Subdued Arrow, Que Yin, Swallowing Thief, Non-toxic, Filth Removal, and Foul Lung!"
"To cultivate this Seven Killings Primordial Spirit Skill, you must sever these seven spirits, each harnessing one of the Seven Emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, desire. These emotions will incite the demonic nature within the soul and spirit, transforming them into tribulations... When you have survived the seven tribulations, and when the vast mortal world and its myriad of human conditions can no longer shake your Dao Heart, then you may unify the seven spirits into a singular Seven Killings Primordial Spirit! This Primordial Spirit is excellent at preserving life, capable of splitting into seven forms, and as long as one form survives, the cultivator does not die!"
Zhong Shenxiu left one thing unsaid.
Regardless of whether it was the Three Souls thod or the Seven Spirits thod, in the end, it seed they would all result in achieving a Yin God.
As thoughts cannot be purely positive, the Divine Power would inevitably be sowhat inferior to the Ancient Primordial Spirit.
But this was a minor flaw and unavoidable.
Moreover, it was far better than the Yin God Achievent thod; at least the Yin essence in the Primordial Spirit was minimal, and re-contamination would also be slow.
Zhong Shenxiu’s power alone was ultimately limited.
Perhaps once the thod spread out, there might be cultivators who could use their own Spiritual Wisdom to pool ideas together and make up for its deficiencies.
However, if it spread too widely, this realm would beco difficult to manage.
Therefore, Zhong Shenxiu still hesitated and as usual, inscribed a divine prohibition.
"Thank you, teacher, for imparting the true thod!"
Liang Xiao was overjoyed: "This thod is completely different from the Ancient Primordial Spirit. Perhaps I can truly break through the bottleneck and refine the Primordial Spirit!"
’This is natural. The old thods could not break through to the Primordial Spirit, but the new thod doesn’t have this worry... Otherwise, why would the Seven Spirits thod include the trials of the Seven Emotions Tribulation? Isn’t it to use the tumultuous mortal world to erode the contamination of the Heavenly Dao?’
’In it lies a trace of the Divine Dao, simulating the power of incense offerings through the Seven Emotions, to counterbalance the madness and contamination of the Heavenly Dao!’
’But this thod is still very risky; if the Seven Emotions Tribulation is not passed, the True Spirit of the cultivator will fall into the cycle of reincarnation... Of course, if one can maintain a glimr of divine light, experiencing the seven lifetis of tribulation may still result in refining the Primordial Spirit... Only, it’s even less likely.’
If the Three Souls thod was about directly transferring the contamination to the two souls of heaven and earth and then forcefully subduing it, then this Seven Spirits thod was about slowly eroding that contamination.
Therefore, in terms of danger, it would be greatly reduced.
Yet, it remained exceedingly difficult to achieve success.
Liang Xiao hadn’t thought much about it.
After all, breaking through to beco an Ancient Primordial Spirit was even more arduous, with an exceedingly high failure rate as well.
As for the chaos after the changes in the heavens, there was no need to ntion it, as the path forward was directly severed!
In his view, the Seven Spirits thod was already a broad and grand path, one that he had to try no matter what.
Not to ntion, this thod for preserving one’s seven lives was just too... in line with his true nature.
"Thank you, teacher, for imparting the thod!"
Liang Xiao bowed deeply again, feeling that this teacher was truly worth the reverence!
"You are to undergo the Seven Emotions Tribulation, and you must engage with the world. First is to temper your own Dao Heart, second is to collect the Seven Emotions of humanity... go, go..."
Zhong Shenxiu waved his sleeve, and Liang Xiao instantly felt a massive force surge towards him, pushing him out of the cave dwelling.
Then, a streak of light flew out, also a Long-distance Communication Talisman.
"Teacher... your student departs!"
Liang Xiao thought for a mont, gave another bow, and then rode the light, soaring towards the horizon.
With the Seven Killings Primordial Spirit Skill in hand, he was naturally eager to begin his cultivation.
’This venture into the world, to temper my Dao Heart, is also a great opportunity to escape the pursuit of the Corpse Yin Secret Sect... After all, Cultivators are proud and aloof, detesting the mundane air of the populated world, so they seldom frequent such places, yet I shall do the opposite...’
’To hone the Dao Heart and to witness all manner of human life, collecting the essences of the Seven Emotions, why not... start off by masquerading as a beggar...’
...
Inside the cave dwelling.
Seeing Zhong Shenxiu send away the two n, Yu Tongzi’s eyes darted around, and he was about to bend his knees, but then hesitated.
"What’s the matter? You also wish to ask for a Primordial Spirit thod from ?"
Zhong Shenxiu had long noticed sothing off about this bird and asked with a smile.
"Please have rcy, Master! This humble one indeed wishes to cultivate a Primordial Spirit!" Yu Tongzi quickly knelt down, knowing there was no use in arguing, and could only beg sincerely.
"It will be difficult for you, you must understand that be it Xu Guo, Yi Tianchou or Liang Xiao... they are all Outer Pill Cultivators, but you have already achieved a Demon Core."
Zhong Shenxiu struck his palm with a fist, suddenly saying, "I’ve got it! Recently, after much contemplation, I conceived a thod for the flesh to achieve divinity, nad the Great Sun Burning Body thod. It requires one to burn one’s entire essence blood, vital energy, cultivation, and inner core... risking it all for a chance to strike at the Primordial Spirit. What do you think?"
"This... this is too horrifying!" Yu Tongzi exclaid: "Master, wouldn’t a simpler thod do..."
For instance, the Yin God Achievent thod had the highest breakthrough rate and was the safest. Though the Yin God was sowhat inferior, Yu Tongzi would accept it.
After all, the Yin God Achievent thod had been successfully practiced by others, whereas that Three Corpses and Seven Killings sounded imnsely frightening and difficult... and as for the Great Sun Burning Body thod, could it be a thod Master had just thought up on a whim?
That would be truly a pitfall for a bird!
"So how about I teach you the Three Corpses and Seven Killings Skill? I am also quite curious as to whether an ordinary Golden Core Practitioner could cultivate this thod."
Zhong Shenxiu asked again.
He indeed wanted another specin for experintation, and this bird was a good candidate, being a demon with its own achieved Golden Core, the difference would be significant.
"This... please, Master, impart sothing simpler, like what Xu Guo was learning..." Yu Tongzi finally cried out.
"Hmph, not learning this, not learning that, the great ancestor might as well not teach at all!"
Zhong Shenxiu snorted coldly, leaving behind a Yu Tongzi on the verge of tears, and left with a sweep of his sleeve...
