"These are a few methods of cultivation for a lowly person, which are certainly not worthy of the master's approval. Please, master, judge them."
Hermit Purple Pavilion took several volumes of books from the desk and respectfully presented them.
He was indeed quick-witted; before Lu Qingfeng could even speak, he proactively offered his services to curry favor. However, there was probably also a hint that Lu Qingfeng might be able to offer some guidance after reviewing his work.
"No problem, no problem."
Lu Qingfeng smiled and reached out to take it.
On the way back to Tiger Might Mountain, Lu Qingfeng also learned some details about the Hermit Purple Pavilion.
To be precise, Hermit Purple Pavilion has quite a background. He is a disciple of the Yin Talisman Sect on Immortal Ascension Mountain, more than 300 miles away. The disciples of the Yin Talisman Sect mostly practice methods to enslave evil ghosts and spirits.
In this world where cultivation has been severed, evil spirits and ghosts are unpredictable and difficult to guard against.
The Yin Talisman Sect thrived thanks to this method. With dozens of disciples, they became the dominant force in the surrounding mountainous region, spanning hundreds of miles.
Only the Dragon Mountain Sect in the north could barely gain the upper hand.
Hermit Purple Pavilion was once a leading figure in the sect.
Unfortunately, his fighting with others damaged his foundation. Not wanting to stay in the sect, he came to Tiger Might Mountain.
Yet they also lived a carefree and unrestrained life.
During this time, he also encountered a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity, not only obtaining a rather sophisticated method for raising ghosts, but also acquiring a Daoist book. The book was incomplete, but it contained many Daoist techniques.
The three Technique Method he used in the Mass Burial Mound when fighting Lu Qingfeng were learned from incomplete spells.
"The Yin Talisman Secret Record".
"The Soul-Seizing Art".
"The Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities".
Lu Qingfeng accepted the three volumes and settled down at the Daoist temple on Tiger Might Mountain to examine them carefully.
Lu Qingfeng looked down on the first two.
Among them, the "Yin Talisman Secret Record" is the fundamental Cultivation Method of the Yin Talisman Sect. It contains rudimentary methods of Qi Refining, martial arts techniques, and inferior methods of raising and commanding ghosts.
The recorded Technique Method of raising and commanding ghosts are not even comparable to the "Soul-Seizing Art" practiced by the Hermit Purple Pavilion.
The Soul-Seizing Art.
This is one of the "fortuitous opportunity" that Hermit Purple Pavilion claimed to have obtained. It records the method of soul-summoning, which allows one to raise little ghosts to harm people's lives.
It is slightly more advanced than the ghost-summoning Technique Method of the Yin Talisman Sect, and is regarded as a treasure by the Hermit Purple Pavilion.
In reality, it was still a low-grade method, and the little devils it raised were heavily restricted and had limited power. Against a True Qi Realm cultivator, they would probably be terrified and flee. With a glare from Lu Qingfeng, the four little devils raised by the Hermit Purple Pavilion vanished into thin air.
This is clearly despicable.
However, when combined with the three Technique Method mastered by the Hermit Purple Pavilion, it becomes a deadly move, catching people off guard.
"All three Technique Method originate from the 'Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities'."
Lu Qingfeng discarded the first two methods, grabbed the last one, and clapped his hands together to input it into the Attribute Panel.
[Cultivation Method: The Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities (Incomplete)]
[Grade: Profound Grade]
[Note: The Demon God Bai Ze was skilled in deduction and manipulating people's hearts. He passed on the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities" to his subordinates, which later spread to the Heavenly Shaman Realm. Li Pichen, True Immortal of the human race in the Heavenly Shaman Realm, possessed extraordinary talent and obtained a portion of the method. He innovated and created the "Human Tribulation Chapter" Heavenly Tribulation Chapter and Earthly Tribulation Chapter. The Human Tribulation refers to the trials and tribulations of human life. Every mortal's actions, every arising and falling of the mind, brings about tribulations. Mastering the Nine Difficulties and seventy-two tribulations allows one to transcend the world and achieve the Immortal Dao fruit of a Heavenly Immortal.]
"Profound Grade!"
"It was passed down by the Demon God Bai Ze!"
Lu Qingfeng was stunned, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He currently possesses four Profound Grade techniques, so he shouldn't be excited about another Profound-Grade Cultivation Method.
However, the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities" is different.
This is the famous legend passed down by the Demon God Bai Ze.
The Demon God Bai Ze.
The High Antiquity Demon Race's Heavenly Court, one of the ten great demon gods, whose name is known throughout the Primordial World, inspiring fear and hatred in the Shaman Clan.
The teachings he passed down must be extraordinary.
Moreover, it starts at the Profound Grade, and Lu Qingfeng even has the hope of strengthening it to the Supreme Grade or even the Sect Master Grade before becoming an immortal!
It has been through ten generations.
Finally, his luck turned around, and he received a great fortuitous opportunity.
Lu Qingfeng was delighted.
"Those in the declining realm truly have eyes but cannot recognize the true scriptures!"
The more I read and studied "The Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities," the more I admired it.
Hermit Purple Pavilion thought the "Soul-Seizing Art" was a great fortuitous opportunity, but little did he know that the three Daoist scriptures he obtained from it were the true gateway to heaven.
Lu Qingfeng calmed himself down and examined the object carefully.
Although the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities" was derived by the Demon God Bai Ze and passed down to later generations, the part that Lu Qingfeng obtained actually had little to do with the demon god Bai Ze.
These are all the parts of the Human Tribulation Chapter deduced by Li Pichen, True Immortal from the Heavenly Shaman Realm, based on the methods of the Demon God.
When the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race still existed, the human race was still insignificant.
The demon god Bai Ze could not possibly deduce the method of human tribulation on his own, so in the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities", there are only two chapters: Heaven and Earth.
Until this method fell into the hands of Li Pichen, who, with his extraordinary talent, deduced the "Human Tribulation Chapter," and to a certain extent, with the body of True Immortal, completed the magnificent demon god's method.
The difference between True Immortal and a demon god is more than ten thousand miles.
This Li Pichen is truly extraordinary; it would be difficult to find someone with such talent even across the entire Primordial World.
"Li Pichen".
"This name is unfamiliar. Logically speaking, such a prodigy should have been exceptionally talented and outstanding when he ascended to the upper realm."
Lu Qingfeng pondered, but couldn't recall any figure named 'Li Pichen' among the many powerful beings of the Primordial World.
Presumably, it is a latecomer that has risen to prominence, and its reputation is not yet well-known.
Or perhaps they perish midway through their lives, fading into obscurity like everyone else.
Let's not think about it.
Lu Qingfeng collected his thoughts and looked down at the Daoist book in his hand.
After Li Pichen supplemented or added a volume to "The Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities", it consists of three chapters on "Heaven, Earth, and Man".
What Lu Qingfeng obtained at this moment was the incomplete part of the Human Tribulation Chapter.
The chapters on Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Tribulation Chapter have all disappeared without a trace.
The Human Tribulation Chapter also has large sections missing.
However, with the * Yellow Court Scripture * in hand, Lu Qingfeng could easily complete the process by 'enhancing' his Evolving Method. Furthermore, the Heavenly Shaman Realm had declined, and those with significant cultivation were few and far between, their whereabouts unknown.
Lu Qingfeng could even cast a wide net and search the entire world for the incomplete Human Tribulation Chapter the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities" as well as the other two chapters.
After all, Profound-Grade Cultivation Method is so incomplete that it would require a massive amount of experience points to complete it through 'upgrading'.
It would be wonderful to find the original in the Heavenly Shaman Realm.
"The three Technique Method mastered by the Hermit Purple Pavilion are all methods from the first difficulty, 'Karmic Obstruction,' in the Human Tribulation Chapter."
"The first is: the Mind Obscuration. When the mind is obscured, nothing can be seen, and the mind of the Way is greatly obscured."
"Secondly: Heaven-Shrouding. The Radiance of the Purple Mansion is nowhere to be seen, and all Daoist magic vanishes."
"Thirdly: Cover the earth. When the spiritual light in the dantian is no longer visible, both the physical body and the spirit perish."
One hardship and three tribulations.
If one comprehends it thoroughly, it possesses power no less than that of Divine Ability, and even surpasses it in the profound mystery of the Dao, making it unfathomable.
Hermit Purple Pavilion knew the "what" but not the "why," only grasping a superficial understanding. Yet, with his mid-stage Embryonic Breath Realm cultivation, he was still able to slightly shake Lu Qingfeng's mind and body.
This reveals its profound mystery.
"The Human Tribulation Chapter Nine Difficulties and seventy-two tribulations, which are seventy-two Divine Ability Technique Method!"
"This can be called Daoist arts!"
Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed.
They immediately settled down at Tiger Might Mountain.
On one hand, he learned about the situation in all directions through the Hermit Purple Pavilion, and on the other hand, he studied the "Contemplation of the Eight-Nine Calamities" and mastered Daoist arts.
This method is incomplete.
Of the Nine Difficulties and seventy-two calamities, only the first tribulation is complete. The remaining Eight Difficulties are all incomplete to varying degrees.
The experience points required to complete Profound Grade technique are beyond what Lu Qingfeng, currently at the True Qi Realm, can imagine.
We can only put it aside for now.
Fortunately, it was only the first difficulty, but it was enough for Lu Qingfeng to ponder for a long time.
Tiger Might Mountain is located in the Southern Borderlands region where the Hundred Tribes lived.
In the Southern Borderlands, mountains rise and fall, layer upon layer. Among the various tribes and villages, some are located on the north side of the mountains and others on the south side, yet they remain unaware of each other's existence for decades or even centuries.
Different accents every ten miles, different customs every hundred miles.
This refers to the land of the Hundred Tribes.
Therefore, countless branches emerged in the Southern Borderlands, collectively known as the 'Hundred Tribes'.
Certainly.
This is how the people of the Central Plains refer to the people of the Southern Borderlands border, meaning "people of the mountains," implying that they are not yet civilized.
Each of the Hundred Tribes had its own name.
The area where Tiger Might Mountain is located belongs to the 'Radiant Tribe' among the Hundred Tribes, meaning light and brightness.
However, the Radiant Tribe is highly skilled in raising Gu poisons, controlling ghosts and beasts, making them extremely difficult to guard against. Even a master at the Dragon-Tiger Realm could lose their life if they are not careful.
The Hundred Tribes people, and indeed the entire Heavenly Shaman Realm, have limited their own achievements due to the interruption of cultivation. Therefore, most of them have turned to studying various Outer Dao.
In addition to the aforementioned methods of raising Gu poisons and controlling ghosts and beasts, there are also methods such as Curse and sacrifices.
Its strength lies in its unpredictability.
If we talk about power, it is actually still subject to the limitations of heaven and earth, and there will eventually be a limit.
Apart from these Outer Dao teachings.
In the Heavenly Shaman Realm, Martial Path flourished.
"In the Heavenly Shaman Realm, the path to heaven is severed, and Spiritual Qi is stagnant and hidden on the earth."
"Therefore, apart from Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, it is impossible to Qi Guiding to Foundation Establishment."
"Thus, over thousands and tens of thousands of years, the Postnatal Realm paths of Embryonic Breath and True Qi, which are more inclined towards Qi Refining, have gradually transformed into paths that are more inclined towards Body Refinement."
Lu Qingfeng gathered intelligence about the surrounding area and gained some understanding of the power structure in the mortal Heavenly Shaman Realm.
In the mundane world.
Those who wield martial power are called 'warriors'.
A martial artist begins by Mind Settling, then goes through Three Realms: Skin and Flesh and flesh, Sinew and Bone and bones, and Inner Vigor. They hone their strength and build up their physical body, gradually becoming powerful enough to possess the strength of a dragon or tiger.
The body naturally generates internal energy, which is called 'Internal Force', but it is actually True Qi. A master of 'Internal Force' can become Dragon-Tiger Realm expert who can defeat a hundred men, and is a top-tier master in the martial arts world.
After the Dragon-Tiger Realm, Internal Force becomes increasingly profound, leading to the realms of "External Strength" and "Internal Strength".
External Hardness Grandmaster.
Internal Hardness Great Grandmaster.
This is already at the level of being able to defeat hundreds or even thousands of people.
It is said that beyond that, there is the legendary 'Ultimate Transformation' level, which is truly capable of defeating ten thousand men, and whose combat power is even greater than that of a Grandmaster.
However, such powerful individuals are extremely rare.
Mind Settling, Skin and Flesh, Sinew and Bone, Inner Vigor, dragon and tiger, external force, internal force.
There are also unpredictable Ultimate Transformation.
This is the path that cultivators in the Heavenly Shaman Realm have discovered by taking a different approach.
According to the Hermit Purple Pavilion, the Yin Talisman Sect, from which he came, was not particularly strong in Martial Path. The strongest member of the sect, the previous sect leader, had only just reached the Dragon-Tiger Realm, yet he was already the strongest person within a radius of several hundred miles.
"The realm of dragon and tiger gives rise to Internal Force."
"Internal Force is actually True Qi."
"Based on this calculation, Dragon-Tiger Realm martial artist is roughly equivalent to someone who has just entered the True Qi Realm. However, because they focus more on Body Refinement and are proficient in close combat and killing techniques, if a cultivator from the Sunset Glow Sect or other realms who has just entered the True Qi Realm were to come, the Dragon-Tiger Realm martial artist would probably be superior."
Lu Qingfeng made a comparison in his mind.
There will be three updates today, one at noon and one at 8 pm.
