Chapter 112: The Scripture of Summoning Demons and the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art
When the Chat Group stopped playing its notification sounds, the group members were stunned for a moment, and then Xiao Meng, who often bubbled up in the group, was the first to react.
Xiao Meng, who has already returned to secular life: 【Holy crap, did you finally finish uploading all the divine arts and precious scriptures? This isn't just stealing a Scripture Depository; this is stealing an entire world!】
Xiong Ba: 【Senior Fengyun Wuji's strength and realm have truly reached an unimaginable level, and his foundation is also breathtaking. In all my years, this is the only time I have ever witnessed such a thing.】
Li Xiaoyao: 【My eyes are turning red with envy. A country bumpkin like me feels like vomiting blood just looking at this. What a massive amount of points this must be!】
Only Qingdi, that old fox, silently downloaded the corresponding Mind Sword Body Great Method and Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
Qingdi had a very strong interest in both divine arts.
The Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art thoroughly understands the mysteries of life and death, allowing one to transform between life and death, and possesses an extremely profound understanding of the laws of life and death. In Qingdi's view, it is of great reference value.
In Qingdi's view, the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art is similar to the continuous transformation after reaching the Great Emperor realm, walking out nine lifetimes in succession, and then defying the impossible path to achieve the supreme Red Dust Immortal.
However, Qingdi does not have many points on hand right now. The Mind Sword Body Great Method can be fully redeemed; after all, the corresponding Mind Sword Body Great Method is not the complete text, only the first seven levels, so it is not very difficult to redeem.
But for the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art, Qingdi does not have enough points on hand.
He only redeemed the opening chapter, and after carefully understanding it, he could not help but sigh at the profoundness of this Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
"Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one. This Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art describes the subtle changes between life and death in great detail. Once thoroughly understood, one could at least live out a second or third life by relying on this technique."
Qingdi only looked at the first three levels of the technique and already had such confidence in his heart.
After all, as one of the most profound techniques under the Sacred Hall, the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art emphasizes that every time one experiences life and death, one will break through a level on the original foundation, with strength and realm advancing by leaps and bounds.
Regarding the grasp of life and death, it is silent, detailed, and subtle. Every instance of life and death is more difficult and painful than the previous foundation, after all, the Ancient Human Race themselves are long-lived.
Without any accidents, the Ancient Human Race basically would not die, and every time they reverse life and death, the corresponding vitality becomes more concentrated, making it even harder to struggle between life and death.
The first three levels made Qingdi feel very interested.
"Such a technique is truly profound, starting directly from the subtle principles of the corresponding laws of heaven and earth, completely different from orthodox cultivation methods..."
Qingdi watched and sighed repeatedly, while simultaneously calculating in his heart how to obtain more corresponding divine techniques.
"When I have time, I must walk more in Beidou. Regarding the use of Faith Power in Chang Sheng Jie, I should go to Mount Sumeru and ask the faith-body of Amitabha Great Emperor. If I gain something, I can upload it as a secret technique to the Group File and specifically mark it for that little brother named Xiao Chen."
"At the same time, I should also pay attention to other top-tier techniques above Beidou. The Soldier Secret, Row Secret, Zhe Secret, and Front Secret should all be looked into."
"I must become active; I cannot walk as I did before."
"If I have time, I must also take a trip to the Eternal Star Domain and inform that human named Luo Ji of the corresponding top-tier technology-related secrets."
Having continuously refused the help of three figures from very high-level worlds in the Chat Group, Qingdi still felt very awkward in his heart, so awkward he could curl his toes.
As a Great Emperor, he had boasted confidently that he would help people change their calamities, but once he showed up, he couldn't solve a single problem.
No one said anything to him, but Qingdi just felt very uncomfortable in his heart, miserable to death.
"I am a Great Emperor after all, having fought across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths without a match, and I boasted that I would help others, but in the end, I couldn't help at all. It is truly too shameful."
"It just so happens that I need to go out and walk around to accumulate corresponding points, so I can also help them solve their corresponding problems along the way."
With the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art uploaded by Fengyun Wuji, Qingdi has gained new insights into living out a second life on his original foundation.
"The Immortal Realm within the Bronze Immortal Palace does not need to be created right now. With my ability as a Great Emperor, creating an Immortal Realm is still too difficult. The Great Dao of heaven and earth is flawed, and at the same time, it lacks sufficiently concentrated Immortal Substance, making the creation of an Immortal Realm too difficult."
Seeing the dawn of a new path, Qingdi is no longer obsessed with having to create a brand-new Immortal Realm.
At least he is not a failure as of now; he has also walked very far on his original foundation, and the effect of slowing down the passage of time does exist, it is just not as immortal as the legendary Immortal Realm.
"Holy crap, I'm rich, I'm rich!"
On Earth, in the Jiangnan area, at Tianxin Garden residential complex, Unit 8, Room 804, Zhang Xuan sat on the sofa, and seeing the dense array of techniques, he couldn't help but sit cross-legged.
The corners of his mouth split open, and stars began to appear in his eyes.
"Holy crap, I'm rich now!"
Although the three figures who just joined the Chat Group were not of much help to him, at least for the time being, they were of no great help to the Indestructible Heavenly Art he was cultivating.
But these full, packed techniques indeed made the originally very meager Group File suddenly become high-end, atmospheric, and classy.
"Mind Sword Body Great Method, Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art, Supreme Forgetting Emotion Record, Eight-Nine Profound Art, Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, Indestructible Heavenly Art..."
"Nine Yang Divine Art, Universe Shift, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Supreme Void Blade Technique, Five Tigers Breaking Door Blade..."
Looking at the many techniques that filled the entire Group File, Zhang Xuan only felt a sense of great accomplishment.
"This includes 99% of the cultivation methods of the Ancient Human Race from the entire Ascension After."
The Ancient Human Sacred Hall is quite peculiar; it was established by a group of people with the most ideals, joined by the four Supremes.
If one were to say that the Sacred Hall explicitly recorded the cultivation methods of everyone in the Taigu era, that would be a bit of an exaggeration.
After all, the corresponding cultivation methods of the four Supremes were not written on it, and at the same time, the inherited techniques of some unique schools were not imprinted on the corresponding Sacred Hall.
But regardless, hundreds or thousands of cultivation techniques do indeed exist.
Basically, the shadows or existence of all techniques in the entire Taigu era can be found within it, which can be considered the genuine strongest foundation of the Taigu era.
And now, these foundations have been uploaded by Fengyun Wuji to the Chat Group without reservation, becoming the brand-new foundation of the Chat Group in the Group File.
"This is truly a windfall that reached the heavens."
Amidst the excitement, Zhang Xuan did not lose his mind completely.
The cultivation methods in the Taigu Sacred Hall are indeed very special; they are basically for immortality. The Ancient Human Race's cultivation is strong enough, but the cultivation time is often calculated in ten thousand or one hundred thousand years.
The methods are good, but not as good as imagined.
It is even more so when exchanged with those immortal beings, similar to the cultivation of figures who live forever in the Heavenly Realm or Demon World in the Xianjian World.
For normal cultivators, cultivating the methods in the Taigu Sacred Hall is just courting death, and the many methods in the Taigu Sacred Hall are uneven, with good and bad, and they need to be classified and appraised separately.
The pros and cons of the many methods also need to be noted.
Otherwise, subsequent cultivators who download cultivation-related methods from the Chat Group's Group File will feel cheated.
With Zhang Xuan's current foundation and knowledge of cultivation, wanting to do this is very difficult, even as hard as ascending to heaven.
After all, he does not have such broad knowledge to be able to classify and list the hundreds of thousands to millions of cultivation methods under the Sacred Hall.
But Zhang Xuan is not panicked; after all, he can copy the answers directly.
"The Mind Sword Body Great Method and the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art are the most useful cultivation techniques under the Sacred Hall; this has been personally verified by Fengyun Wuji, the protagonist in the world of Ascension After, without a doubt."
As Zhang Xuan's thoughts turned, the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art and the Mind Sword Body Great Method were ranked among the top-tier divine techniques and manuals in the Chat Group.
Having done this, Zhang Xuan still did not stop, but continued to list the hundreds of thousands of techniques obtained from the Sacred Hall behind the Mind Sword Body Great Method and the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
And he added a corresponding note at the end.
"Note 1: Many of these techniques originate from the Taigu era. The Ancient Human Race enjoyed eternal life, and the progress and speed of their cultivation techniques were quite slow; those who exchange for them should consider carefully."
"Note 2: Among the many techniques, quite a few were merely created by others and never actually practiced; the achievements of these techniques are difficult to assess. Practicing them rashly may very likely lead to deviation or a backlash of blood and Qi."
Such a note lowered the value of the corresponding techniques to a great extent, but Zhang Xuan did not feel there was any problem with that.
After all, if someone in the Chat Group encountered problems while practicing Taigu techniques and died from deviation, that would be fine—at least the Chat Group's reputation would remain. What he feared was them not dying directly but having their cultivation completely crippled; then the Chat Group's reputation would truly be ruined.
Rather than that, it was better to clarify these issues in advance. After finishing the relevant notes, Zhang Xuan still did not stop, and after pondering for a moment,
he continued to write at the end.
"Note 3: For any Taigu technique, if someone succeeds in practicing it and points out the errors and omissions, the relevant technique can be made public. Those who succeed in practicing it can write their own insights and experiences above; later, if someone downloads a more perfected technique, they can receive half of the points."
Currently, the verified techniques are the Mind Sword Body Great Method and the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
The Mind Sword Body Great Method can be practiced directly without any problems.
The Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art requires the assistance of special armor unique to the Taigu era to be practiced; with the armor, the subsequent life and death reversals will not fall into a predicament.
Without the relevant specialized armor, it is not recommended to practice it!"
Of course, Zhang Xuan had never practiced the Mind Sword Body Great Method or the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
But Fengyun Wuji had practiced them, and Fengyun Wuji had once seen an unlucky fellow who practiced the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
After reaching the seventh realm, his strength and cultivation were extremely formidable, but the person himself fell into a state of neither living nor dying. He was quite miserable and was tortured to the point of wanting to commit suicide, yet because the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art contained vigorous life force, he could not even commit suicide.
And just after finishing the relevant notes, not only was Qingdi eyeing the relevant techniques in the Chat Group.
Chen Nan also looked at the annotated Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art.
"Reversing life and death nine times; if one can succeed nine times, can one basically master the laws of life and the laws of death?"
Feeling the vast ocean of life force and death force within his body, Chen Nan immediately became interested in this technique.
He himself was a dead man; he had already died ten thousand years ago. After ten thousand years of accumulation, he was resurrected in the Shenmo Lingyuan. The life force and death force in his body had accumulated to an endless degree; after all, he had swallowed the vitality of all the Gods and Demons, and at the same time, he had swallowed their death energy. He had used up all the chances for all the Gods and Demons to potentially resurrect.
When it came to the balance and struggle between life and death, Chen Nan could be said to be the best in the world.
Chen Nan had many insights from practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art, but he always felt that the progress of his cultivation was relatively slow and somewhat unsuited to his state. Now, seeing the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art, he was tempted again.
"Should I exchange for the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art?"
Chen Nan saw the relevant notes very clearly; the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art involved life force and death force.
A slight carelessness could lead to big problems, potentially causing him to fall into a state of neither living nor dying, and it required many prerequisites to practice. But Chen Nan was not worried at all; after all, he had a father.
He was currently unsure of his relationship with Dugu Baitian and did not know if he was the reincarnation of Dugu Xiaobai, but he was indeed in a blood-related father-son relationship with another Nirvana-level existence, Chen Zhan.
As long as he exchanged for the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art, he could go directly to the Shenmo Lingyuan to ask Dugu Baitian for advice, or he could go to ask his father Chen Zhan. Chen Nan believed that as long as he had these thoughts, he would naturally dream of them at night.
"Should I upload the Demon Calling Scripture and use it to exchange for the Nine Turns Life and Death Profound Art?"
Chen Nan was truly tempted. Originally, he still had a little bit of hesitation; after all, the Demon Calling Scripture was his family's divine technique, and it had many strict restrictions and could not be passed on casually.
But ever since he learned that his father had taught the corresponding Demon Calling Scripture to the Eastern Land Du Clan ten thousand years ago, and had let the Eastern Land Du Clan become the top clan in the Eastern Land.
Chen Nan no longer had so many scruples in his heart.
"No need to hesitate, to hell with hesitation. If it can increase my combat power in the shortest possible time and make me stronger, both Dugu Baitian and my father would agree."
Chen Nan made up his mind; he already clearly knew who they would eventually have to face.
Facing the Heavenly Dao, any method or action that could increase combat power was worth allowing.
