Deduce Cultivation Method

Inside Pangu Hall, Zhou Ming sat cross-legged, gazing at the twelve enormous blood cocoons.

Using the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to directly absorb and refine the fiendish energy was far too inefficient—it could never meet the needs of the twelve future Ancestor Witches.

He had to find another path!

If he could create a cultivation art that allowed the twelve Ancestor Witches to rely on their own instincts to actively refine the fiendish energy that corroded their intelligence, wouldn't that solve the problem at its root?

This idea was bold, even somewhat fanciful.

After all, the twelve Ancestor Witches hadn't even developed complete consciousness yet—how could they cultivate an art?

But Zhou Ming had no other choice. This was the only path he could think of that might change the fate of the Witch Clan.

"Pangu bloodline, Law of Strength, Dao Origin Divine Pearl..." he murmured to himself, his gaze profound, countless thoughts colliding and deducing within.

The Pangu bloodline was the foundation, containing the most primal power and a natural affinity for the Law of Strength.

The Law of Strength could guide the flow of energy and naturally suppress fiendish energy.

The Dao Origin Divine Pearl could protect the Primordial Spirit and serve as a medium for assistance and imprinting.

Combining the three might truly create a miracle!

Zhou Ming closed his eyes, sinking his mind completely into the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

He poured all his understanding of the Pangu bloodline, his insights into the Law of Strength, and his knowledge of the Heaven-Opening Fiendish Energy into it, beginning to attempt the construction of an entirely new method.

He had to consider the violent nature of the fiendish energy—how to guide it rather than resist it.

He had to consider the Ancestor Witches' yet-unborn consciousness—how to make the art operate as instinctively as breathing.

He had to consider the endurance limits of the Pangu bloodline—how to transform the fiendish energy into nourishment for the body and the budding spark of intelligence.

It was a vast and complex process.

Countless deductions, countless failures, countless restarts.

Time slipped away in the monotonous cycle of deduction, and before he knew it, ten thousand years had passed.

Whoosh—!

The Dao Origin Divine Pearl trembled violently, erupting with unprecedented light!

A profound and intricate method took full shape within Zhou Ming's sea of consciousness!

"Using the Pangu bloodline as the furnace, the Law of Strength as the flame, nine revolutions of quenching to transform fiendish energy into origin..."

"Let it be called... the Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art."

The Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art was not perfect—in fact, it was quite crude, and it had a massive limitation: it required his insights into the Law of Strength as a primer.

It also needed the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to continuously provide assistance for smooth operation, especially in the early stages when the Ancestor Witches' consciousness was just forming.

But this was the best he could achieve under the current conditions.

However, successfully deducing the art was only the first step.

The real challenge was how to safely and effectively pass it to his twelve "younger siblings" and make them instinctively begin to operate it.

The next step was to imprint this art into the very origins of the twelve Ancestor Witches.

"We share the same root, the same bloodline—this is our greatest opportunity."

Zhou Ming activated the Dao Origin Divine Pearl, using it as a bridge for communication and transmission.

At the same time, he carefully drew upon the sliver of insight into the Law of Strength he had comprehended, merging it into the light of the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

Whoosh!

The Dao Origin Divine Pearl emitted a soft radiance, slowly approaching one of the blood cocoons.

Zhou Ming's Primordial Spirit power, guided by the Dao Origin Divine Pearl and the Law of Strength, cautiously probed into the blood cocoon.

This time, he wasn't simply sensing—he was attempting to establish a deeper connection.

Using the resonance of the shared Pangu bloodline, he imprinted the circulation path of the Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art and the guidance of that sliver of the Law of Strength.

Like a hereditary memory, he slowly infused it into the sleeping life origin deep within the blood cocoon.

This process was extremely taxing on the mind and fraught with danger.

The slightest mistake could not only damage the unborn Ancestor Witch but even trigger a backlash from the fiendish energy.

Zhou Ming focused entirely, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

One cocoon, two cocoons, three cocoons...

When the last blood cocoon was successfully imprinted with the Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art, Zhou Ming let out a long breath, his Primordial Spirit feeling a wave of exhaustion.

But he didn't rest. He immediately split off a thread of his mind to carefully observe the changes in the twelve blood cocoons.

Although the Ancestor Witches had yet to develop consciousness and couldn't actively cultivate, the art had already begun to operate, albeit extremely slowly, with the assistance of the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

Threads of fiendish energy were gradually tempered and transformed as they circulated.

Though the efficiency was still low, it was a significant improvement over the previous state of complete passive erosion.

"It worked!" A glimmer of joy flashed in Zhou Ming's eyes.

As long as the technique could circulate on its own, over time, small increments would add up, and the Sha Qi could gradually be refined.

What followed was a long wait and continuous observation.

Zhou Ming continued to comprehend the Law of Strength while keeping a close watch on the Twelve Ancestor Witches, ready to respond to any unexpected developments at any time.

The years stretched on, and ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Pangu Hall, the Sha Qi on the surface of the twelve Blood Cocoons had noticeably thinned, while the life force within them grew stronger and stronger.

The Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art was silently and steadily improving their innate conditions.

One day, Zhou Ming was in the midst of cultivation.

Suddenly, one of the Blood Cocoons shuddered violently!

A wave of consciousness, completely different from the others, faint yet distinct, transmitted outward!

This consciousness was filled with ignorance, curiosity, and a trace of bewilderment at the unfamiliar environment.

"Finally... a consciousness has been born!" Zhou Ming's heart stirred, and he immediately focused his attention on that Blood Cocoon.

It was... Dijiang!

However, the birth of Dijiang's consciousness also meant that he began to actively absorb external energy.

The flow of Sha Qi within the Blood Cocoon suddenly accelerated, like an uncontrollable torrent, delivering a massive impact to his fragile newborn consciousness!

That ignorant consciousness instantly became chaotic, as if it could be torn apart by the violent Sha Qi at any moment!

"Not good!" Zhou Ming's expression changed.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately activated the Dao Origin Divine Pearl with all his might!

Hum!

The Dao Origin Divine Pearl instantly appeared above the Blood Cocoon where Dijiang resided, casting down layers of light, like an indestructible barrier, firmly shielding Dijiang's consciousness.

A vague and ignorant thought transmitted from the Blood Cocoon, carrying the bewilderment of a newborn and a trace of fear toward the outside world.

"Don't be afraid. I am your elder brother, Zhou Ming."

Zhou Ming immediately sent out a gentle thought, using the connection of their shared bloodline and the bridge of the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to reach Dijiang.

At the same time, he guided the Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art, which had long been imprinted within Dijiang's body, and led him with his own understanding of the Law of Strength.

"Feel the power within you. Follow that guidance, circulate it, and refine those things that cause you pain..."

Zhou Ming guided him patiently, like teaching a babbling infant.

Although Dijiang's consciousness was ignorant, the connection of bloodline and the instinct of the technique made him subconsciously begin to try.

Under Zhou Ming's guidance and the assistance of the Dao Origin Divine Pearl, the circulation of the Nine Revolutions Sha Quenching Art within Dijiang's body suddenly accelerated!

Threads of Sha Qi were actively drawn in, refined, and transformed into pure energy, nourishing his physical body and gently nurturing his newborn consciousness.

The pain diminished, and his power grew. Within Dijiang's consciousness, a feeling of dependence and closeness emerged.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The first one had succeeded!

This was a good start.

Next, he needed to guard Dijiang's consciousness, help him cultivate, and wait for the other Ancestor Witches to awaken.
