Chapter 116

At this stage of Spirit Long, Yuan Dasheng needs to increase its spirituality until it is 100% full.

100% is a qualitative change!

After reaching it, it is self-recovery of spirituality, endless. Otherwise, spirituality is used as much as it is reduced, which is very disadvantageous.

Yuan Dasheng is in this situation.

Originally 80% spirituality, after the loss, only 79% remained, and it could not recover on its own.

Unless one day, it reaches 100% spirituality and undergoes a qualitative change. From now on, it can recover on its own!

After reading this jade slip, Ning Zhuo’s first thought was: "My choice of Yuan Dasheng’s corpse was indeed absolutely correct."

"According to the information given to me by the Magma Immortal Palace, choosing any corpse will only result in a Spirit Rhyme level mechanical creation. This is just the first stage of the Dead Spirit period."

"But I used Yuan Dasheng’s corpse, and the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng I got, its spirituality crossed seven stages and reached the Spirit Long period."

Before, Ning Zhuo knew that the quality of the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng was quite superior, but now after reading "Talk of Spirit", he truly understood the degree of this superiority!

"So, how to increase spirituality?"

There is no relevant content in this treasure book "Talk of Spirit".

"Perhaps there is, it’s just not open to me."

"I am an outsider, and being able to see this classic of the Zhou family is already thanks to the three-family alliance."

Although "Talk of Spirit" has no detailed methods, it records relevant history.

In the cultivation world, there was once a demonic sect that was famous for a time and shook the world, named the Burial Spirit Sect.

This sect had a spell, named the Three Lives Sacrificial Spirit Great Method.

The so-called "Three Lives" is not three lives, but taken from the meaning of "Three Lives Produce All Things."

The true meaning is, three lives produce all things, sacrifice to seek spirit. Burying all things in heaven and earth, after sacrificial refining, to obtain spirituality.

The Burial Spirit Sect used this spell to slaughter thousands, obtain a large amount of spirituality, batch-manufacture spirit treasures, and strengthen the sect’s power.

Countless righteous paths, evil factions, and even other demonic sects realized the threat of the Burial Spirit Sect and attacked it together, making this super force that endangered the entire cultivation world vanish into ashes.

"Three Lives Sacrificial Spirit Great Method..." When Ning Zhuo saw this, he suddenly thought of a reward in the Magma Immortal Palace.

He would get rewards after passing the three Buddhist gates.

He thus obtained the phantom-truth lotus seed. There were many rewards, and he remembered them very clearly, one of which was a spell, named "Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Sutra."

"This might be the secret method to increase spirituality." Ning Zhuo thought.

His guess did not come out of thin air.

He had a basis.

Before, when he ventured into the first Buddhist gate, he chose the corpse in the coffin and got relevant information. One of the messages was—"Choose one, send to furnace for fire burial, obtain Spirit Rhyme mechanical creation."

Fire burial...

Can obtain Spirit Rhyme mechanical creation...

These two clues are directly linked to the "Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Sutra."

"Next time I venture into the Magma Immortal Palace, I will choose this reward to see." Ning Zhuo had a feeling in his heart that made him feel that this should be the correct option!

However, venturing into the Magma Immortal Palace is not easy.

Times have changed.

Ning Zhuo now has four Ning family cultivators guarding him, and they are not the same four people. Every once in a while, they will rotate.

If Ning Zhuo enters the Immortal Palace with his soul, the possibility of being discovered will greatly increase.

He was also worried about one point—what if he enters the Immortal Palace and encounters the geniuses of the three families or Meng Chong?

He couldn't investigate Meng Chong’s situation clearly.

The geniuses of the three families all have Ning family talismans to protect them; if they want to enter the Immortal Palace with their souls, they just need to remove the talismans. This is completely unpredictable!

"There are two ways."

"One is, I am outside the palace, remotely controlling Yuan Dasheng, letting it kill its way into the depths of the Immortal Palace. It is my mechanical creation, which can be counted as a part of me."

"Two is, explore the palace together with Zheng Jian and others. This depends on Zhou Zeshen’s cultivation progress."

Previously, Ning Zhuo and others agreed at the Ciyou Garden that when Zhou Zeshen reached the peak of the third layer, everyone would join hands to explore the Immortal Palace again.

Ning Zhuo thought for a moment and felt that the second way was better.

When he left the Zhou family’s Treasure Book Building, he asked the cultivator beside him: "I don't know what level Fellow Daoist Zhou Zeshen has practiced to?"

"Currently, he is at the late stage of the third layer." The Zhou family cultivator replied.

Ning Zhuo frowned.

The Zhou family cultivator, out of the psychology of protecting his own family, immediately distinguished: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo needs to know that our clan’s Zhou Zeshen possesses the superior talent 'Water Accumulates into an Abyss'."

"As the saying goes, 'Accumulate earth to form a mountain, wind and rain will rise; accumulate water to form an abyss, dragons will be born,' this talent requires constant accumulation of water-attribute power in daily life, and finally achieves the momentum of an abyss, showing majestic power."

"Therefore, our clan’s Zhou Zeshen accumulates magic power more slowly in the early stage of cultivation, requiring more resources, time, and patience than others."

"But there is gain if there is loss! Zhou Zeshen will inevitably have a leap in cultivation in the later stage!"

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "Then about how long will it take?"

The Zhou family cultivator smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, don't make things difficult for me, why don't you ask our clan’s Zhou Zeshen yourself?"

Ning Zhuo went to find Zhou Zeshen and asked him personally.

Based on his current status, reputation, and relationship with the geniuses of the three families, he easily did it and got the answer from Zhou Zeshen himself—

"It will take at most seven days."

"This time is still acceptable." Ning Zhuo thought.

If he forcibly used the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng alone, without going down himself, even if Yuan Dasheng passed the level, it would be seriously damaged.

Currently, Ning Zhuo’s research on Yuan Dasheng’s mechanical body is not deep enough, and the difficulty of repairing Yuan Dasheng in the Magma Immortal Palace is also very high.

What Ning Zhuo was most worried about was that using the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng with such high intensity would cause its spirituality to drop again.

And the magnitude of the drop could be completely estimated, definitely much more than when Yuan Dasheng fought Meng Chong!

However, after he returned home and started his daily cultivation, he made a discovery that made him shudder.

He discovered that the Buddha Heart Demon Seal in his sea of spirit had been activated again.

Although it was only once, the timing was exactly when he was at the Zhou family, thinking, and decided to choose to wait for Zhou Zeshen!

"Low destiny makes people confused."

"But the Buddha Heart Demon Seal can suppress destiny, ferry oneself to become a Buddha, so it can ensure my mind is clear."

Ning Zhuo deduced from this and immediately realized that his decision to wait was confused by destiny.

"In this way, doesn't it mean that the first one is the correct option?" Ning Zhuo fell into deep thought.

"According to 'Destiny Theory Volume 1', Meng Chong and I are fighting each other, and before a complete victory, destiny is consuming each other violently."

"So, my destiny is not as good as the three-family alliance, which led to a confusion?"

Ning Zhuo was shocked.

"Yes, I am racing against time now!"

"Why should I waste seven days for Zhou Zeshen?"

Ning Zhuo immediately made a decision—use the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng to break through!

He hid in the cultivation partition in the bedroom, urging the Floating Cloud Handkerchief.

He first took out the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng.

The teleportation circle swallowed and spat, successfully transporting Yuan Dasheng, and the whole process was silent.

Ning Zhuo then echoed the "Trial Disciple" mark, entered the Immortal Palace with his soul, and brought the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng in at the same time.

Only by doing this can it be considered a brand new breakthrough.

Just like before, he appeared in Room No. 1.

Ning Zhuo didn't even touch the first door, then detached, and his soul returned to his flesh.

The Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng replaced him, touched the first door, received the reward, and pushed the door in.

The next moment, Yuan Dasheng saw Zhou Zhu and Zhou Zeshen!
