Chapter 975

"The Human Ancestor Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's Great Law of the Universal Strange Gate."

"Just this point is enough to show how powerful the Wind Queen's Strange Gate is."

"But compared to the final Great Luo Insight, it seems too ordinary."

"The Sect Master said that the Great Luo Insight has no other special effects; it can only open the inner treasury in the heart and reflect upon one's own heart."

"But the Great Luo Insight is derived from the Taishang Ancestor's ability to evolve the universe."

"It can be said that the Great Luo Insight is the only core technique that can fuse the Eight Extraordinary Techniques into one."

"Within the inner treasury of the heart, fuse the Eight Extraordinary Techniques one by one, link them to each other, and finally, the Eight Extraordinary Techniques can truly sublimate and become the kind of cultivation method that the many Daoist ancestors originally expected."

"Daoism's new Eight Great Divine Arts..."

"Divided, they are Golden Immortals; combined, they are Taiyi."

"When the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are fused, their power covers the changes of the universe and is omnipotent."

"And the Great Luo Insight is one of the foundations for fusing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

864. The True Use of the Body-Refining Furnace, Fusing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques

"One of..."

Zhongli narrowed his eyes slightly, subconsciously looked at the Body-Refining Furnace, and said softly:

"So, the other condition is..."

Miss Ganyu nodded and gently placed her hand on the Body-Refining Furnace.

"That's right, the Body-Refining Furnace... or rather, it should be called the Illumination Vessel of the True Heart."

"The Great Luo Insight opens the inner treasury, and the Eight Extraordinary Techniques return to one; the power generated is simply not something an ordinary person can withstand."

"Even for immortals, below the Jin Xian level, it is difficult to resist."

"The method of the inner treasury is extremely dangerous; if one is not careful, the spiritual platform will collapse, leading to madness and death."

"But the original intention of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques was to become the new version of the Eight Great Divine Incantations. One person cannot master all of the Eight Great Divine Incantations, but the Eight Extraordinary Techniques have this possibility."

"Therefore, the Daoist ancestral court placed deep hopes in the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

"However, after people in all three Daoist ancestral lands died due to the collapse of their inner treasuries during the fusion process, and even Golden Immortals were lost, the Dao Court had no choice but to temporarily seal these cultivation methods."

"After discussion, they were passed down to the lower realm, with the cultivation methods reduced, allowing Daoist cultivators to slowly come into contact with them from a young age, and after they were accustomed to the exploration of the inner treasury."

"Then, they would use the Illumination Vessel of the True Heart, which is the Body-Refining Furnace, created by fusing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

"With the internal and external combined, it forces people to stabilize the inner treasury and the spiritual platform, slowly mastering the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

"Then, they continue to fuse until they ascend to become immortals, or even cultivate to the Taiyi level. At that time, with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques truly fused into one, that Taiyi would have surpassed all other Taiyi."

"To the point of... becoming the half-step Great Luo envisioned by the Daoist ancestral court..."

At this, Lady Ningguang and the others finally understood.

"So that's how it is..."

Otto took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Those guys didn't die unjustly. Even if the three holy lands hadn't taken action, the Daoist ancestral court watching from the upper realm would have had them cleaned up."

When it involves the visions of half-step Great Luo and Taiyi, one cannot blame others for being ruthless.

If it were them, they would also take action without hesitation.

"Reflecting on the true self, the spiritual platform becomes clear; seeking the heart to attain the Dao, seeking the Dao in the heart..."

Miss Ganyu whispered.

"It's just that the connection between the upper and lower realms was broken for a long time, so the secret of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques was buried in the dust."

"The people of Shushan in the past also had the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but they didn't value them too much, and the Shushan high-level officials didn't think much of the Body-Refining Furnace."

"When the Body-Refining Furnace was made by that power, it alarmed the upper realm. The ancestors spent a lot of effort and didn't hesitate to damage their own cultivation to pass the information down."

"Shushan decisively joined forces with the other two holy lands to set a trap, exterminating the other party and taking the Body-Refining Furnace back into their own hands."

"It's not that Shushan couldn't make it themselves, but such a grand display would be detrimental to Shushan's reputation."

"Therefore, the Small Lei Yinsi took the lead, the Jixia Academy laid out the scheme, and finally, Shushan's thunderous strike settled the situation."

"With the close relationship between the three holy lands, it was very easy."

"After all, although there is no lack of competition between the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist schools in the cultivation world, the three holy lands, thanks to the relationship of the ancestors in the upper realm, cannot be said to be as close as one family, but they do advance and retreat together."

"This is the secret of the Body-Refining Furnace."

"Strictly speaking, the current Body-Refining Furnace is still incomplete."

Miss Ganyu said softly:

"Since it is for fusing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, it is a divine object that cooperates with the Great Luo Insight, so it naturally needs to record the incantations of all the Eight Extraordinary Techniques except for the Great Luo Insight."

"When the Body-Refining Furnace becomes the true Illumination Vessel of the True Heart, the Great Luo Insight is the key to starting the Illumination Vessel of the True Heart."

"It is also the switch for fusing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

"This is the true use of the Body-Refining Furnace!"

865. Shushan Must Expand

It was the first time everyone knew that the Body-Refining Furnace was so important, and they couldn't help but look at it in shock.

"So, the current Body-Refining Furnace is only missing the final few Eight Extraordinary Techniques and the Great Luo Insight..."

Ningguang looked at Miss Ganyu with some excitement, but the latter shook her head.

"No, it's far from it..."

"To upgrade the Body-Refining Furnace to the Illumination Vessel of the True Heart, it does need to record the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but the current top-grade treasure can withstand the fusion of seven extraordinary techniques."

"However, it cannot withstand the pressure released by an immortal art like the Great Luo Insight."

"At the very least, the Body-Refining Furnace must evolve into an immortal artifact to have a chance."

"However, even the current Body-Refining Furnace can achieve the fusion, mastery, and sublimation of the extraordinary techniques."

"Just like those cultivation methods in the Primordial World, they can all be upgraded."

"But I don't know the specifics of how to do it. I only came this time because the Sect Master asked me to notify Head Seat Ei."

"After using the Body-Refining Furnace, seal it up and do not take it out for a short time."

Ei nodded slightly and said softly:

"I will follow the Sect Master's arrangements. I only need to use the Body-Refining Furnace to resurrect my sister, and after that, the Body-Refining Furnace will be for the Sect Master to decide."

Miss Ganyu smiled and added:

"There is one more thing. You must be aware that people from the Star Rail Universe's Immortal Ship have arrived."

"The Sect Master's meaning is that from now on, the Star Rail Universe will be handled the same way as the Honkai world and the Teyvat world."

"In a few days, the gate connecting the Star Rail Universe to Teyvat will officially open, and geniuses from the Star Rail Universe will also flood into Shushan."

"At that time, Shushan will make an exception and continue to open the mountain gate to recruit geniuses from the Star Rail Universe."

"At that time, all Shushan core disciples must attend the ceremony."

"Besides this, there is one more thing: the first floor of the Shushan Demon-Locking Tower has been cleared, and in the future, you can apply to enter the Demon-Locking Tower for cultivation."

Hearing this, Zhongli and the others frowned slightly.

The first matter was quite normal, and they had expected it long ago.

But the second matter...

It was very unusual.

Before this, Jiang Yan had repeatedly emphasized that the Demon-Locking Tower was not to be entered unless necessary, unless it was for people like Venti who were on the verge of a breakthrough, who would enter to use the time difference for cultivation.

But now, why was the first floor of the Demon-Locking Tower suddenly fully opened for all disciples to enter?

After thinking about it, Zhongli could only think of one possibility.

"Something happened?"

Hearing this, Miss Ganyu was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"The Sect Master told me that if you ask, there is no need to hide it, and if you don't ask, there is no need to say."

"Something did happen this time."

"Some time ago, about a while after conquering the Tree Sea Universe."

"The Sect Master's divine sense was traveling through the Chaos Sea and encountered the Evil Sword Immortal."

Instantly, everyone was shocked.

"The Evil Sword Immortal? Did they find us?"

"No, not yet, it was just an accidental encounter."
