The Sect Master of the Heretical Immortal School was still talking about the details of the Heretical Immortal School's cultivation. He seemed very enthusiastic.
It seemed that he had simulated this many times in his heart, but he had not really realized it many times. Xu Qing's arrival gave him the opportunity to be a teacher.
"Back then, Patriarch Li Xuanfeng could be said to be a genius that was hard to come by in a thousand years. He comprehended 13 soul strands in a month and created a precedent for our Heretical Immortal School!
"
The Sect Master of the Heretical Immortal School spoke proudly. The disciple beside him did not refute, but sighed softly.
Clearly, to be able to choose the Heretical Immortal School in an era when the Heretical Immortal School was declining, even if there was a large proportion of them being tricked, they still had a certain level of recognition and affection for the Heretical Immortal School in their hearts.
"There's also Patriarch Chen Daoze. He's even more amazing. He was a peerless genius that was rarely seen thousands of years ago. He comprehended 19 soul strands in a month!"
"
The Sect Master of the Heretical Immortal School looked at Xu Qing and said earnestly.
"So, you have to work hard and cultivate well. As long as you can condense more than ten soul strands in a month, then the future Sect Master of the Heretical Immortal School will be you!"
"
As he spoke, the Sect Master of the Heretical Immortal School patted Xu Qing's shoulder and took out some jade slips, stuffing them all to Xu Qing. Only then did he leave reluctantly and continue to organize the jade slips of the White Tower.
Xu Qing stood there, feeling very hesitant. He carefully checked his sea of consciousness and found that there were indeed more than 10,000 soul strands spreading in his sea of consciousness. Thinking of the Sect Master's words, he felt that this matter was a little strange.
"Why? Did your blood boil when you heard it?"
While Xu Qing was thinking, the disciple in the White Tower walked over and sighed beside Xu Qing.
"Let me tell you, don't believe this nonsense. When the other two Senior Brothers and I came, we were told the same thing. Not a single word has changed."
""
"I advised you last time, but you refused to listen. Now, you've been branded as a core disciple … This is equivalent to being completely tied to the Heretical Immortal School."
""
The disciple's eyes were filled with sympathy.
"But since you're here, you can't regret it. Follow us in the future. With you joining us, our tabloids can produce more."
""
Xu Qing looked at the disciple of the Deviant Immortal Faction. He had some guesses about the tabloid that this person was talking about, so he asked about it.
"There are so many schools in the Imperial College, and many things happen in each school every day. It takes a lot of time to understand them all. Therefore, there are some tabloids in the Imperial College that gather a lot of information.
"
"It includes the actions of the various factions, as well as the movements of the famous students in the factions. However, compared to the tabloids of the other factions, our Deviant Immortal Faction has been around for a long time and is in a good location. Therefore, although we are not authoritative, our sales are still alright.
"
"Also, we focus on reporting some gossip. That's even more popular.
"
When he mentioned the tabloids, the Variant Immortal Faction disciple's tone was filled with pride.
"This is a business that us brothers started. Come, come, come, let me show you around."
"
With that, the disciple pulled Xu Qing off into the distance, where Xu Qing saw a large number of empty jade slips. After some explanation, Xu Qing realized that the empty jade slips were actually tabloids.
Their job was to imprint some information on the side of the jade slips and sell them.
As for the source of the information, it was recorded in a few jade slips that had been collected from an unknown place.
Xu Qing picked one up and scanned it with his spiritual will.
"Last night, someone heard shrill screams coming from the Rong Shen Faction. Who was the one causing trouble in the middle of the night? Please take a look at the Deviant Immortal Faction's tabloids!"
"
"The first seat of the Flora Faction is actually her!"
"
"I have spent several years reporting the true identity of the Myriad Arts Flowing Dust Cloud and have finally found out!"
"
"Xu Qing of the Grand Sage Wave Great Region has entered the Imperial College. Do you want to know which faction he is from? I will report this matter secretly!"
"
Xu Qing silently put down the jade slip.
"How is it? Our Deviant Immortal Faction's tabloids have enough gimmick, right?"
The disciple chuckled.
"Not bad."
"
Xu Qing said calmly. He did not feel any sense of rejection. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Since he had joined the Deviant Immortal Faction, he might as well help this senior brother in front of him to imprint the information.
During this period, the Faction Master came by a few times. When he saw that the newly joined Xu Qing had also become like this, he sighed but did not say anything.
Just like that, time passed. The sky gradually darkened, and Xu Qing left the Deviant Immortal Faction.
When he walked out of the Imperial College, snowflakes were still falling outside. Xu Qing pondered about the Deviant Immortal Faction's cultivation method. He returned to his residence and sat cross-legged to meditate.
"The Deviant Immortal Faction's cultivation method is to extract one's own soul and cooperate with a specific array to form soul strands."
"
"This requires a lot of soul strands. If too much is extracted, one's own soul will collapse. It is courting death …"
"This is also the reason why the cultivation of the Deviant Immortal Faction's cultivation method is slow. While cultivating, one has to nourish the soul."
"
"And the number of soul strands …"
Xu Qing took out the jade slip imprinted with the divine creatures and checked it. The divine creatures inside were all somewhat ordinary to him. After all, to Xu Qing, he had seen more than one God.
As for why more than ten thousand soul strands appeared at once when he cultivated this cultivation method, Xu Qing also found the answer when he was imprinting the tabloid during the day.
"I have the Source of God."
"
"In the end, this Deviant Immortal Faction's cultivation method is actually a method to simulate the Source of God. Relying on one's own soul to weave the shadow of a divine creature is also a simulation."
""
"Through this method, one's soul will have the characteristics of the Source of God, thus transforming it and revealing it outside like armor."
In the end, with a single thought, one can change everything about oneself. "
""
"Therefore, the principle is that with a single thought, an immortal body will be formed."
""
"If one can really cultivate it to the extreme, in theory, one can simulate step by step, from a divine creature to a God …"
"And I have the Source of God, so there is no need for simulation. With a single thought, I can release a considerable number of soul strands. Each strand is formed from the Source of God."
""
Xu Qing muttered to himself, and a strange light appeared in his eyes. Combined with this Deviant Immortal Faction's cultivation method, Xu Qing knew that his previous judgment was correct.
His God's Form was indeed similar to the Deviant Immortal Faction's to a certain extent.
However, the body formed from the Deviant Immortal Faction's essence was the aura of a cultivator. Upon closer inspection, one could see traces of soul strands.
And after the God's Form was revealed, what was released was the pressure of divinity. It seemed to be one, but in reality, it was real.
This difference could be easily sensed.
In addition, the human race had a variety of cultivation methods, and there were all kinds of cultivation techniques. In addition to the existence of Gods and the research of divine creatures for countless years, there were too many ways to form a similar scene to Xu Qing's God's Form.
However, if one studied it carefully, they would find that the essence was completely different.
Only this Deviant Immortal Faction's essence was similar.
"Then, if I follow the Deviant Immortal Faction's cultivation method, I should be able to master the God's Form more smoothly."
""
Xu Qing's eyes flashed.
"The God's Form that I displayed before was formed from the divine treasure."
""
"But if I split the Source of God in the three divine treasures into pieces and refine all of them into soul strands, and then use the Deviant Immortal Faction's method to control the soul strands to weave them, I can form my three types of God's Form."
""... "
"In theory, I can bypass the shortcomings of the God's Form. For example, the third form … because I'm not using one divine treasure to support it, I'm using the Source of God from three divine treasures to weave it."
""... "
"At the same time, I won't be limited to three forms. I can even form a fourth form. As long as there are enough soul strands, there are thousands of changes with a single thought!"
""... "
Xu Qing was tempted. After closing his eyes, he formed a seal with both hands and followed the Deviant Immortal Faction's method to form soul strands again.
In an instant, the first divine treasure behind him appeared. Strands of Source of God flew out from it and gathered in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness. The proficiency of his soul strands also suddenly skyrocketed.
Soon, it reached about 100,000 strands.
"Continue!"
"..."
The second divine treasure behind Xu Qing suddenly appeared. Strands of Source of God flew out rapidly under his refinement.
"..."
130,000, 180,000, 250,000 … In the end, 310,000 soul strands appeared.
Controlling so many Source of God's Soul Strands made Xu Qing feel strained. He knew that this was because he was not familiar with the Deviant Immortal Faction's weaving method.
Therefore, he temporarily stopped refining and tried to form them one by one according to the Deviant Immortal Faction's reference diagram.
Although he was not very familiar with it, Xu Qing had too many Source of God's Soul Strands, so soon, behind him, terrifying figures that emitted divinity waves appeared one after another.
"..."
At this moment, if there was a disciple of the Deviant Immortal Faction here and saw this scene, he would definitely be extremely shocked.
This was because in their understanding, divine creatures that could theoretically be formed in the faction had appeared one after another in Xu Qing's hands.
Moreover, each of them was lifelike, and the pressure they emitted was so strong that it exceeded the scope of the divine creature itself.
However, Xu Qing was not satisfied. To him, this was just a way to increase his proficiency. He continued to control the soul strands to form divine creatures. In the end, with a thought, these divine creatures all collapsed, turning back into 310,000 soul strands and gathering together.
Xu Qing's first divine spirit state appeared in his mind. Using it as a reference, he began to shape.
Because of his sufficient understanding, coupled with Xu Qing's proficiency in the weaving method of the Deviant Immortal Soul Strands to a certain extent, his first divine spirit state appeared suddenly.
Standing in the secret chamber, it emitted a shocking pressure.
That pressure was very different from when Xu Qing normally displayed his first divine spirit state.
It contained the will of the gods and also the characteristics of the Deviant Immortal Faction. Most importantly, Xu Qing discovered that he could burn it with a thought.
As a huge impact force, he could forcefully break through the shackles and barriers, pushing his cultivation level up.
This knowledge made Xu Qing's breathing quicken slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened.
"The Deviant Immortal Faction is indeed a unique technique!
"It seems to be refining soul strands and weaving divinity, but all of this is just a facade. Its true horror...
"It can turn the Source of God into the power to break through the realm!
"At the limit, the burning of the divine shadow will turn into a huge force to forcefully break through the barrier of the Immortal Faction, continuing the path ahead, rushing out a new path, borrowing the divinity to become an immortal, and becoming a Deviant Immortal."
"..."
Xu Qing's expression changed. It was also at this moment that a light knocking sound came from outside the secret chamber where he was in seclusion, accompanied by the captain's voice.
