"I'm actually unable to break through. Forget it, who knows how long has passed!"
Yun Shisan slowly withdrew his spirit energy and opened his eyes. A wisp of bright light flashed within them, and then he stood up and stretched his limbs before walking out of the quiet room.
When he came out, he saw Mo Wanqing tasting tea in the living room, but he didn't see anyone else.
Mo Wanqing revealed a wisp of a joyful smile when she saw Yun Shisan walk out, and it was like a hundred flowers blooming. She quickly walked over and asked, "Shisan, you've come out of closed door cultivation. Has your cultivation broken through?"
"I'm stuck at the peak of the Profound Spirit Realm. I'm unable to break through to the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm!"
Yun Shisan shook his head. He kept having the feeling that he could break through to the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm at any moment, but he was just a little bit away. No matter how he cultivated, he didn't make any progress.
Mo Wanqing consoled. "There's no need to rush on the path of cultivation. Sometimes, you can't force it. When the opportunity arrives, everything will naturally come to fruition. Take your time!"
"I'm not in a hurry!"
Yun Shisan nodded and asked, "Where's Yue Liang, Yun Miao, and the others?"
Mo Wanqing said, "Yun Miao and the others have gone out to temper themselves. Yue Liang has gone to Qinglian Peak!"
Yun Miao and the others didn't have anything to do on Lotus Peak. The Technique Development Conference was approaching, and they'd gone out to temper themselves two days ago for the sake of obtaining a good ranking during the conference.
Mo Wanqing told Yun Shisan about the Technique Development Conference and even mentioned other things in passing, including the fact that Qinglian School was preparing to participate in the trials in Fallen Star Paradise.
"There's no need to rush those things!"
Yun Shisan shook his head, and then he looked at Mo Wanqing and asked seriously. "I noticed that your cultivation has broken through to the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm. What's your Domain Enlightened Spirit God like? Does it have meridians?"
"The Domain Enlightened Spirit God is actually a spirit body condensed at the Profound Spirit Realm. After fusing with the soul, it becomes a Domain Enlightened Spirit God. However, it doesn't have meridians, and it isn't much different from the spirit bodies at the Profound Spirit Realm. However, after fusing with the soul, it becomes more nimble and can think independently!"
Mo Wanqing explained everything in detail and finally said, "You don't have to care too much about it. Sometimes, when the opportunity arrives, success will follow naturally."
Yun Shisan nodded as his thoughts drifted. He discovered that the Eight Gates Divine Fiends of the Qimen Dunjia all possessed meridians, which were somewhat different from the Spiritual Deity that Mo Wanqing had described. However, the Spiritual Body on the Lotus Platform in the Middle Palace was exactly the same as what Mo Wanqing had described.
Yun Shisan also didn't know what the Eight Gates of Divine Termination was. His heart stirred as he asked, "Wanqing, if the Spiritual Deity has meridians, does that mean that the Spiritual Deity can cultivate alone?"
Although Mo Wanqing didn't understand why Yun Shisan would ask such a question, she still said, "In theory, it's possible. You can cultivate as long as you have meridians, but in reality, we don't know.
You don't have to think too much about it because it's utterly impossible for such a situation to occur. You'll understand once you break through into the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm! "
Yun Shisan nodded on the surface and didn't explain the Eight Gates of Divine Termination to Mo Wanqing, yet he felt that he could give it a try in his heart.
However, if he could cultivate the Eight Gates of Divine Termination, then the foundation was secondary, and the most important was the soul. His soul had already been dispersed and completely transformed into the Eight Gates of Divine Termination!
If he cultivated the Eight Gates of Divine Termination by himself, then he would definitely have to fuse his soul when he attained the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm, and this was a problem.
The second was the foundation. The Eight Gates of Divine Termination required eight Foundation Establishment treasures, and with the deep resources and reserves of the Qinglian School, it shouldn't be difficult to gather all of them.
No, I have to customize the Foundation Establishment treasures. I'm using the Qimen Blades, so I'll refine them all into Qimen Blades. In this way, the might of my Qimen Blades will surely rise to a new level!
Yun Shisan had already made a decision in his heart. However, he had to solve a problem first, and that was how would he break through into the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm?
Yun Shisan thought of the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts. The Hall of Ten Thousand Arts had many books and records, and there might be a way to solve this problem.
He immediately acted upon his decision, and he looked at Mo Wanqing and said softly, "I'm going to the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts. Do you want to come with me?"
"You go, I'd better not go!"
Mo Wanqing knew that Yun Shisan was definitely going to the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts to look up secret books and cultivation techniques. She wasn't a member of the Qinglian School, so no matter how good her relationship with Yun Shisan was, the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts wouldn't be open to her, so she could only wait there.
"Then you can cultivate here. I'll make a trip there first, and it might take a few days!" As soon as Yun Shisan finished speaking, he waved his hand towards the red-crowned crane that was basking in the sun on the roof of the Water Moon Pavilion.
Although he'd already broken through to the Mysterious Spirit Realm, and it wasn't a problem for him to condense his spirit energy and fly, he didn't have any flying techniques, so flying like that would rapidly consume his spirit energy.
Yun Shisan rode the red-crowned crane to the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts, but Miao Fa wasn't there. Only her disciple, Wu Ming, was managing the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts.
When Wu Ming saw Yun Shisan, he was first stunned, but then he addressed Yun Shisan as' Martial Ancestor Dao Yan '.
"Wu Ming, I came this time to look up some books!"
Yun Shisan wasn't sure which type of cultivation technique he wanted to look up, because it wasn't convenient for him to talk about his own matters, so it wasn't convenient for him to ask directly.
"Martial Ancestor, you can look at any of the books here!" Wu Ming thought for a moment and said, "If you need a specific type of cultivation technique, you can ask me to help you find it."
"No need, I'm just looking around!"
Yun Shisan smiled. His only goal for this trip was to find a flying technique, and he didn't have a goal to solve the matter of the Eight Gates of Divine Killing.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Arts was the Scripture Pavilion of the Qinglian School, and there were many books stored there. However, because it was convenient for the disciples to directly look up the books in the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts, the Hall of Ten Thousand Arts was very large.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Arts had a total of seven floors, and each floor had a restriction array. Among them, there was a restriction array that identified one's identity based on the identity jade card!
The first floor could be looked up by anyone, the second floor could only be entered by inner disciples, the third and fourth floor could only be entered by core disciples, the fifth and sixth floor could only be entered by elders or peak masters, and the seventh floor could only be entered by the Sect Master.
Yun Shisan first chose a flying technique, the 'Imperial Sky Technique'. This technique was very simple, and it only taught how to use spirit energy to fly in the air.
As for flying techniques, he didn't need them. What kind of technique was more convenient than the Qimen Dunjia?
Then, Yun Shisan directly skipped over the various cultivation techniques and looked at some of the unorthodox secret techniques.
Yun Shisan didn't know how long he had been here. He went from the first floor all the way to the fifth floor. Just as he was about to finish looking through all the books on the fifth floor, he found a booklet on the foot of a bookshelf.
Yun Shisan frowned. This small booklet should be a secret technique, but this secret technique was actually used to cover the bookshelf.
He gently lifted the bookshelf, took out the small booklet, and patted the dust on it.
This was different from the other books. The other books were either made of animal skin or scrolls, but this step was a thin booklet.
The words' External Incarnation 'on the booklet attracted his attention. This was an external incarnation, who didn't want to have one?
Anyone who knew about cultivators in the immortal cultivation world would know how heaven-defying an external incarnation was. An external incarnation was different from an avatar!
Doppelgangers were generally a kind of Secret Technique. It was a Secret Technique or Divine Ability condensed from one's own Spirit Force. However, it constantly consumed the caster's Spirit Force and couldn't be too far away from the caster. The duration of the doppelganger was also not long, so it could be used in a battle.
An external incarnation was different. An external incarnation mainly relied on the word 'external'. It was an existence that could be independent of the main body. It could be cultivated on its own, and didn't exist by consuming the main body's spirit energy.
Yun Shisan slowly flipped through the booklet. As the booklet continued to flip, a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"DaoXuan Martial Ancestor, so you really are here!" Unknowingly, Miaofa had already appeared behind Yun Shisan.
Yun Shisan saw that his energy was interrupted. He frowned and turned around to look at Miaofa. He faintly said, "What do you want?"
"Eh ~"
Miaofa was surprised. When Yun Shisan turned around, she saw the booklet in his hand. She couldn't help but say in surprise, "You actually found this thing. This thing is useless."
"Why?"
Yun Shisan frowned, but he didn't think so. This' External Incarnation 'was simply too useful, okay?
Miaofa reached out her jade hand and opened the booklet in Yun Shisan's hand. She pointed to one of the pages and said, "This' External Incarnation 'is too useless. You should have read it enough.
It says that you have to choose a spirit beast and erase all of the beast's will and memory. Then, you have to merge a strand of your spirit with the blank beast's soul. In this way, you can control the spirit beast to become your external incarnation. It looks like a crooked path. "
Yun Shisan didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "Secret techniques aren't good or bad. The only difference is the human heart."
"You're right. Secret techniques aren't good or bad!" Miaofa couldn't refute. She paused and said, "Didn't you notice?
In addition, the spirit beast must not exceed the Foundation Establishment Realm … "
Yun Shisan nodded. This booklet did mention this. The spirit beast couldn't exceed the Foundation Establishment Realm. If it exceeded the Foundation Establishment Realm, the beast's soul couldn't be erased and couldn't be used as an external incarnation.
Whether it was the soul or the beast's soul, they were all carriers of memories. They were also the foundation to shape character. If the cultivation exceeded the Foundation Establishment Realm, even if the memory of the beast's soul could be erased, it couldn't erase its instincts.
These instincts came from the spirit beast's will. In other words, the spirit beast's will couldn't be completely erased.
Only spirit beasts could be used as an external incarnation, and it couldn't be humans or other demon beasts. If spirit beasts with low cultivations were used as an external incarnation, then there was another problem, and that was transformation!
Every single spirit beast that attained the Mysterious Spirit Realm or the Domain Enlightened Spirit God Realm had to undergo a transformation tribulation. Once it overcame this tribulation, it could become a demon beast. Of course, spirit beasts that had taken a master as their master could only take human form after overcoming the three tribulations.
If spirit beasts with low cultivations were used as an external incarnation, then it would at most consume some resources to cultivate. However, the problem was transformation. Since it had already become an external incarnation, then the heavenly tribulation would strike the main body along with it.
The heavenly tribulation was based on the highest cultivation between the external incarnation and the main body. The higher the cultivation of the external incarnation, the more terrifying the heavenly tribulation would be.
If the external incarnation and the main body were to overcome the tribulation together, then the terrifying heavenly tribulation would multiply. In this way, even immortals didn't dare rashly utilize the secret technique in the booklet to cultivate an external incarnation.
