Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The so-called Yin River refers to the human spine.

Starting from the Weilü acupoint, it then goes all the way upward.

Passing through Mingmen, Jiājí, Yuzhen... rushing straight to the Tianling Niwan Palace.

In this stage, the abundant Five Qis within the body will gradually become restless, repelling, and conflict with the newly born Yin River.

Without surprise, needle-like stabbing pain will transmit along the meridians of the spine, Yin Cold Qi will spread along the spine, and the four limbs and hundred bones will rapidly turn icy cold.

Moreover, the Divine Soul will become slightly dazed.

However, this is the normal reaction of the Divine Soul contacting Netherworld power for the first time.

However, the more one cultivates, the more negative states and reactions will arise.

The whole body stiff and cold as if fallen into an ice cave, the whole person covered by a layer of Black Qi.

Complexion turning pale, even breathing carrying a few points of Yin Cold, completely different from usual.

And then comes the second step of cultivation, guiding Sha and absorbing Sha.

This stage has two choices: either travel far to the Wai Jie's dangerous Yin Sha lands to seek Sha Qi.

Or use the Sha Qi naturally dissipating from the Corpse King Sword as a natural Sha seed, immediately vibrating Qi and Blood, guiding that strand of pitch-black Sha Qi to sink into the Qi Sea.

But one must note, Sha Qi is not Spiritual Energy, it is not vitality.

Rather, it is utmost Yin and utmost cold, a fierce and brutal Qi that specializes in devouring the Divine Soul.

Once it enters the Qi Sea, it is like a starving wolf pouncing on prey, it will attack other magic power.

As long as one maintains it, the Sha seed will transform into Qi, and then flow along the Yin River.

Every meridian it passes through, it leaves behind a cold trace.

When the Yin River True Water begins to condense, and the first drop of True Water forms, it represents cultivation success.

At this time, the Divine Soul's stabbing pain will become clearer, this is a precursor to Sha Qi corrupting the Divine Soul.

Not only that, negative states will also intensify.

Wherever Sha Qi passes, meridians are as if sealed by cold ice, the slightest carelessness will cause meridians to snap.

Forcefully cultivating the Netherworld Dao, Yin and Yang violently clash, the Qi Sea alternately scorching hot and icy cold.

Sha Qi continuously stimulates the Divine Soul, hallucinations begin to appear, like dead souls whispering, Corpse King roaring.

As long as one persists, one can reach the third step of cultivation, condensing Sha into a River.

According to the Cultivation Method display, one must condense a full three hundred sixty-five drops of Yin River True Water to achieve the Yin River Embryo.

Of course, for others, they need to cultivate step by step, deepening bit by bit.

But for Xu Zhangqing, this is fundamentally not a problem, as long as the Cultivation Method appears on the Attribute Panel, he can use his own nearly million-year Lifespan to forcibly raise it.

No matter how difficult, no matter how bitter.

Vast Lifespan poured in, Full Level in minutes.

After understanding all the content, Xu Zhangqing not only did not cultivate immediately, but instead dispersed the trace of Netherworld Qi he had just condensed.

As someone who plans before acting, who never fights an unprepared battle, he understands better than anyone what risk means.

When he originally obtained the Nine Revolutions Netherworld Art, yet delayed cultivating it for a long time, it was precisely because he feared this Cultivation Method's utmost Yin and utmost ferocity.

Now seeing clearly the layer upon layer of dangers in cultivation — meridians freezing, Yin Yang conflict, Sha Qi devouring the soul, the slightest carelessness turning one into a Walking Corpse — it is even more impossible to rashly begin.

"No rush, this method is extremely dangerous, rashly cultivating is equivalent to gambling with one's own Foundation."

"Wait for Fenglong to come over first, then decide."

"This kid better not go to the Central Region, otherwise I'll have to wait a long time!"

Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged, on one hand using Spatial pressure to suppress the Corpse King Sword, on the other hand patiently waiting.

However, not long after, the direction of the Teleportation Array in his Personal Space rippled with Spiritual Light waves.

Then, Thunder Spirit Root Fenglong and Xu Qiansui appeared inside the Personal Space; he locked onto the Corpse King Sword at a glance, then asked: "Lord, what matter brings you to seek me?"

Xu Zhangqing went straight to the point: "Calling you here today is to discuss an important matter."

His mind moved, the profound, obscure, bone-piercingly Yin Cold Cultivation Method content was directly transmitted over.

Fenglong carefully comprehended, his face instantly becoming solemn: "This is... an utmost Yin, utmost Netherworld Cultivation Method?

But it is completely opposite to the Life-Generating Great Dao you mainly cultivate!"

"Correct."

Xu Zhangqing nodded, then pointed at the Corpse King Sword to the side: "I obtained a ferocious weapon not inferior to a False Immortal Artifact, only this Cultivation Method can control it.

Because the cultivation risk is extremely great, that is why I sought you to discuss."

Fenglong pondered a moment, then spoke directly: "In my view, right now there are only two paths."

Xu Zhangqing "oh"ed: "Two paths?"

Fenglong continued: "One, find a deathsworn warrior of absolute loyalty, you bestow the Cultivation Method, let him cultivate in your stead.

Two, let Water Spirit Root Gonggong cultivate it; the Yin River belongs to Water, same origin as Water Spirit Root, highest compatibility, cultivation yields twice the result with half the effort.

But the drawback is also great, Netherworld Sha Qi will corrupt the Water Spirit Root; later when you draw talismans, engrave Spirit Patterns, command water to cast spells, all will be affected."

These words spoken, Xu Zhangqing immediately shook his head.

Water Spirit Root is the Foundation of his many methods, relating to Lingti cultivation, Spirit Talisman drawing, even Water-element Cultivation Methods and spell casting.

Therefore, absolutely impossible to sever an arm for the sake of a ferocious weapon.

As for death warriors...

Although he had disciples by his side, finding someone who dared to cultivate this life-or-death Netherworld cultivation method and could fully control it was not something that could be done in a short while.

He had a total of three disciples: one had become another's Dao Companion, one was now living freely outside, and one was still young and simple-minded.

To put it plainly, they were all flesh of his own flesh; he could not bear to sacrifice any of them.

Fenglong frowned and said, "Main Body, what was your original plan?"

Xu Zhangqing replied, "My original plan was simple: you temporarily return to your Main Body, and then I will cultivate the Nine Turns Through the Nether Art."

If an accident occurs, at least the Thunder Spirit Root can provide support."

Fenglong nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed, this is not a bad method."

But at this moment, a flash of spirit light appeared in Xu Zhangqing's mind.

He almost forgot that he still had a hidden card he had not used.

Full Level Skinning Technique!

Back then, after he had cultivated this secret art to perfection, he awakened its unique effect.

Thinking about it now, it was simply tailor-made for wielding the Corpse King Sword and cultivating the Nine Turns Through the Nether Art.

A gleam appeared in Xu Zhangqing's eyes as he grinned and said, "Death warriors are hard to find, the Water Spirit Root cannot be moved, but fortunately I have accumulated abundantly and have plenty of methods."

Fenglong was stunned, then asked curiously, "You have a plan?"

"The unique effect of the Skinning Technique: the Myriad Forms Spirit Fur!"

Xu Zhangqing said seriously, "Using the Lock Spirit Seal Soul Array as the pivot, fuse nine top-grade furs, nine complete Divine Souls, and then fuse my essence blood."

It can perfectly replicate all talents and ignore attribute restrictions.

It can even activate nine kinds of divine abilities and talents simultaneously, and at a critical moment, it can house my Divine Soul within it, allowing me to live a second life."

Saying this, he looked at the Corpse King Sword, whose killing intent soared to the heavens, and a faint smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

With the Full Level Skinning Technique, I fundamentally do not need to cultivate death warriors, nor do I need to corrupt the Water Spirit Root.

I only need to gather nine top-grade furs and nine complete Divine Souls, refine the Myriad Forms Spirit Fur, then split off a Divine Soul to dwell within it, letting this "Avatar" formed by the Spirit Fur specialize in the Nine Turns Through the Nether Art and wield the Corpse King Sword.

It has no flesh body concerns, no spiritual root conflicts, does not fear killing intent devouring the soul, but can instead perfectly unleash the power of the cultivation method and the fiendish weapon.

At that time, it will become a flawless, heaven-shaking killing machine in Xu Zhangqing's hands!
