646: C646 Before the Divine Technique

C646 Before the Divine Technique

The Ancient Emperor Divine Arts was the secret scripture of the Jin Clan Dynasty. Only the direct descendants of the Jin Clan Dynasty had the right to cultivate it. Furthermore, they had to possess the bloodline of the Jin Clan to successfully cultivate it.

It could be said that the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts of the Jin Clan was the exclusive secret scripture of the Jin Clan. Even if other people obtained it, it would be impossible for them to successfully cultivate it.

Then why could Ling Xiao and the people of the Gu family cultivate it?

This answer was revealed by Ling Xiao from the memory of the remnant soul.

It turned out that five thousand years ago, an ancestor of the Gu family had also entered the cave of this mountain peak.

He went in with him. Along with him were the outstanding talents of various powers.

The situation at that time was similar to this time. Most of the people who entered the cave were killed by the remnant soul. Only the ancestor of the Gu family was lucky enough to survive.

As for the ancestor of the Gu family, it was the remnant soul that gave him a chance to survive.

Why was the remnant soul so soft-hearted?

It had placed its hope of rebirth on the seniors of the Gu family.

This matter still had to be pursued. Until the battle in the Chaotic Abyss 100,000 years ago.

This remnant soul was a prince of the Jin Clan Dynasty. He was known as Duke Zhan, and his cultivation base had already reached the Peak Saint realm. He was only half a step away from the Holy Emperor realm.

When he was alive, he had already cultivated the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts to the highest realm. All he needed to do was break it and become an immortal.

However, his nature was overbearing and fierce, brave and good at fighting. He liked to lead soldiers to kill enemies the most.

Meanwhile, the Jin Clan was the most powerful dynasty at that time. The other three dynasties were merely subordinate dynasties to them. The battle in the Chaotic Abyss was the joint attack of the three dynasties on the Jin Clan Dynasty.

Duke Zhan led nearly a million soldiers and fought against the three dynasties with 1.5 million soldiers in the Chaotic Abyss.

In this battle, the four great empires had suffered heavy casualties, and countless experts had fallen.

In that battle, Duke Zhan fought three high grade Saint alone and was in an undefeatable position. The battle between the four of them had truly shocked the heavens and the earth, and had almost wiped out the War Abyss.

In the end, although Duke Zhan had killed the three Saints, he had also suffered serious injuries. He was on his last breath.

However, the four Guardian Warriors under him were all ferocious warriors, and they were all half-step Saint warriors.

They protected Duke Zhan and slaughtered his way out. They opened up a cave abode in the mountain peak and set up a restrictive formation to conceal themselves. They waited for Duke Zhan to recover from his injuries before slaughtering their way out.

However, no matter how well they concealed themselves, they were eventually found by the people of the three great empires.

The four great Vajra generals and the enemy engaged in a fierce battle of slaughter.

In the end, the four Guardian Generals killed countless enemies. However, they also exhausted all of their spiritual energy and resources and died.

Duke Zhan's physical body hadn't reached the realm of immortality yet, and the saint level arrow that hit him had destroyed his heart and absorbed a large amount of his blood essence. His dantian had also been shattered long ago, which made it difficult for him to recover from his injuries.

Duke Zhan also knew that it was difficult to avoid the disaster, so he used the last bit of strength to recover from the external wounds on his body. Then, his soul left his lifeless body on its own.

Cutting off the connection between his soul and his body required a price. Even though Duke Zhan had already reached the half-step Holy Emperor realm, he was still severely injured. His soul power had only dropped to the peak Imperial Rank realm.

Of course, with its soul state, it would be able to survive if any martial artist weaker than it invaded its sea of consciousness.

However, Duke Zhan was a prince of the Jin Clan Dynasty. His identity was very noble, and his bloodline was very noble. Naturally, he didn't want to rely on other people's lower body to live again. He wanted to find a spiritual object that could condense its dantian, reconstruct it, activate its bloodline power, and return it to its original body.

Apart from that, he also hoped that he could cultivate the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts to great completion, and become an immortal.

Therefore, he waited in the cave for the experts of the Jin Clan Dynasty to come and rescue him.

Unfortunately, after the Battle of the Chaotic Abyss, the four dynasties had suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult for them to recover their vitality.

At this time, some smaller dynasties took advantage of the situation and split up the territories of the four dynasties.

The Jin Clan Dynasty belonged to the largest Dynasty, and it was naturally attacked by many powers. In the end, it almost ended up being exterminated.

Meanwhile, the Chaotic War Abyss was also set up by some mighty figures from the other dynasties, isolating it from the rest and sealing it forever.

Duke Zhan's dream of waiting had become far away.

It was only after someone broke the spatial formation more than ten thousand years ago that descendants would come into the Chaotic War Abyss from time to time.

But Duke Zhan discovered that they were all weak martial artists. There was no one else who could help him find spirit herbs or medicinal Pills to reconstruct his dantian.

Those martial artists who had previously entered his cave abode were virtually all killed by him.

Time kept changing. Duke Zhan also knew that if this continued, his soul would scatter sooner or later.

However, as a member of the royal family, it was absolutely impossible for it to let go of its proud bloodline and invade the body of a lowly peasant to live again. That way, it would rather die.

Five thousand years ago, the arrival of the elders of the Gu family allowed it to see hope.

This was because the ancestor of the Gu family had a full metal attribute physique. He cultivated the Heavenly Bin extremely high, and more importantly, his attributes were very good for Duke Zhan.

Therefore, Duke Zhan thought of a way, which was to take the ancestor of the Gu family as his disciple, and then lure him into finding heaven-defying spirit herbs or Pills that could help him reconstruct his dantian one day.

It was already a great fortune for that senior of the Gu family to survive, and he also obtained a remnant soul to take him as his disciple. Of course, he would take him as his disciple without saying a word.

However, Duke Zhan's mind wasn't as simple as it seemed. He was afraid that his ordinary disciple would never return after receiving its teachings. Therefore, he specially modified the formula of the Jin Clan's Ancient Emperor Divine Arts, which was the Vajra Five Transformation Spell that Ling Xiao cultivated later on.

The Vajra Five Transformation Spell fell into the hands of the ancestors of the Gu family, which made him very happy.

Duke Zhan must have told him that once he reached the Great Completion Stage realm, he would be able to possess an immortal body.

The elders of the Gu family immediately patted their chests and promised that they would do everything they could to find the spiritual herbs or Duke Zhans that Duke Zhan needed.

The seniors of the Gu family also obtained Golden Dragon Spears and Duke Zhans like this.

The seniors of the Gu family were not stupid people. After obtaining these things, they did not plan to save Duke Zhan. They were sure that Duke Zhan was an old monster. Once he came back to life, he didn't know if he would be able to threaten him or not, but he had decided not to hand over the Golden Dragon Spear.

But the seniors of the Gu family didn't know that Duke Zhan had tampered with the Vajra Five Transformation Spell, and even left behind an undetectable hidden disease in his sea of consciousness.

The elder of the Gu family who had the chance to break through to the saint-level was disturbed by the hidden disease when he broke through. His inner demon was born, and he failed to break through. He died on the spot!

Duke Zhan had waited for thousands of years for the elder of the Gu family to come back, but he knew he had misjudged him.

Therefore, almost all the people who came into the cave were killed by him.

Gu Xiaohe brought the Golden Dragon Spear back and was naturally sensed by Duke Zhan. If it wasn't for Ling Xiao saving them, Duke Zhan would never let them go.

...

This was basically the cause and effect.

Ling Xiao just couldn't figure out how his grandfather had obtained the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts formula.

Could it be that his grandfather had met people from the Gu family before? Or perhaps he had some fortuitous encounter?

The reason for this was that Ling Xiao had no way of continuing his research.2

"Luckily I have the complete formula now. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be trouble if I continue to cultivate. It's really dangerous!" Ling Xiao sighed heavily and said to himself.

So the Vajra Five Transformation Spell he cultivated was not seen by Cann Bao by chance. He didn't know that this was the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts of the Jin Clan, and he needed the help of the royal bloodline to cultivate it. Afterwards, he had used the Flood Dragon's blood essence to condense his bloodline, and he had barely reached some of the requirements of the divine technique. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach this stage of cultivation and would have already been at the Life Destruction realm.

Currently, the complete Ancient Emperor Divine Arts didn't only have five transformations, but a total of seven transformations.

Apart from refining skin, refining scriptures, refining the bones, and refining blood, there were also two other transformations, 'refining consciousness', and 'refining the soul!'

Training one's consciousness was a type of incantation that cultivated the defense of one's spiritual sea. Once it was cultivated successfully, it could prevent the spiritual sea from being invaded by external objects. It had the effect of solidifying the mind and helping the cultivation. At the same time, it could also form a defense of the spiritual sea to block any attacks of the spiritual energy.

Although the effect of refining one's consciousness might seem simple, Ling Xiao knew that this change was extremely important and precious.

Any martial artist's cultivation had to rely on their sea of consciousness to reach the state of one with human life and increase the speed at which they absorbed spirit energy. When breaking through, they would need to strengthen their spirit consciousness to aid in breaking through. The other defense of their sea of consciousness was even more amazing. Any martial artist knew that the sea of consciousness was the most critical part of everyone that was most vulnerable to damage. Once the sea of consciousness was damaged, But the training of consciousness could form a powerful defense of the sea of consciousness. The importance of this function was self-evident.

This was also the reason why Ling Xiao had attacked Duke Zhan with his mind power before, but was unable to kill his soul.

Back then, Duke Zhan was able to cultivate the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts to the Great Completion Stage. Ordinary mind power attacks wouldn't be able to do any harm to him.

Ling Xiao cultivated the God Controling Spell. Although he had reached the divine level of mental energy attack, he didn't have the incantation to defend his sea of consciousness. On the other hand, the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts's sixth transformation had made him look even better.

If he encountered people who cultivated spiritual force in the future, he would fight them. However, they still had defenses. Then he would have another way to save his life.

As for the last transformation of the 'Spirit Refinement' realm, it was the final transformation of the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts. That was the true transformation of the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts. It could allow one's body to reach the most perfect state. Whether it was combat or recovery ability, it could definitely be called abnormal.

However, this transformation was also the most difficult to cultivate. Since the establishment of the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts until now, Besides the first Almighty, no one else had successfully cultivated the final transformation.

Because in order to master this transformation, one had to experience the great danger of breaking through and establishing themselves. Only then would one be able to successfully cultivate it.

The dangers of this transformation could be imagined. Therefore, not many people from the Jin Clan dared to take this step. The conditions they needed were just too harsh.

The last two changes were still too far away from Ling Xiao. He had to reconstruct the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts now. Otherwise, he would regret what he had done in the future.
