The "Three Sacrifices Establishing Fate Method" was a cultivation method from the tall, thin cultivator's memories. It helped cultivators connect to the Fate Furnace, temper themselves, enter the Dao, and establish their fate.
This cultivation method circulated extremely widely throughout Hunzhou. Seventy or eighty percent of rogue cultivators awakened their fate patterns and embarked on the path of cultivation through this method.
Compared with the inherited secret methods of those great Destiny Islands, it perhaps lacked some unique wonders.
But the "Three Sacrifices Establishing Fate Method" required only three of the cheapest, most basic materials containing destiny essence. With them as the foundation, it could help someone who had accumulated White Fang Destiny Essence break through and establish their fate.
It could be called the rogue cultivators' gospel, with the lowest threshold and smallest cost!
For Jing Qian at present, it was also the most suitable method for entering the Dao.
After absorbing the tall, thin cultivator's memories, he easily comprehended this method, as if he had studied and practiced it for a long time.
He looked toward his Destiny Stele. The information on it was clearly visible:
Host: Jing Qian Lifespan: 1/84 years Destiny Essence: 0.67 (White Fang) Fate Pattern: None
With the souls of the tall and short cultivators serving as his rations, his destiny essence was rapidly increasing at an unimaginable speed.
Through the wondrous Destiny Stele Space, he squeezed, filtered, and extracted destiny essence. Both the efficiency and purity had reached their peak!
At the very least, in the tall, thin cultivator's memories, he had never seen such an advanced Essence Nourishing Method.
Of all the Essence Nourishing Methods the other party possessed, even the most effective could only help a mortal child accumulate one complete unit of White Fang Destiny Essence by the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Yet at this moment, Jing Qian's first unit of destiny essence was already more than half condensed.
If he went all out and relied on the Destiny Stele Space to cultivate, he would need at most two additional hours to complete it.
If news of such a cultivation speed spread, it would undoubtedly overturn everyone's understanding!
Just as he was preparing to devote himself entirely to this new cultivation, a change in the outside environment instantly drew his attention.
Jing Qian directed his mind toward the outside world, only to discover that the Azure Pearl beneath him was in an extremely chaotic state, trembling violently!
Nourished by the elemental energy transformed from destiny essence, Jing Qian's constitution had already improved within a short time.
His sinews, bones, and strength had all grown noticeably.
He easily propped up his small body, broke free of the brocade quilt wrapped around him, and walked along the Azure Pearl's back to its neck, carefully examining its condition.
At present, Jing Qian's survival depended almost entirely on the Azure Pearl's help. He could not afford to ignore this abnormal change.
At this critical moment, he stopped hiding himself. After transmigrating, he spoke aloud for the first time:
"Azure Pearl, what's wrong? Do you need help?"
He knew that with the Azure Pearl's intelligence and cultivation, it was fully capable of understanding and responding to his words!
After gaining the tall, thin cultivator's knowledge of cultivation, Jing Qian's understanding of the Azure Pearl had also improved tremendously.
This Soul Weaving Demon Spider possessed an extremely rare bloodline. Furthermore, his grandmother had refined it into her bonded beast, and after accompanying her through years of cultivation, it had received excellent nurturing.
Its pale-blue spider silk alone showed that this spider had long since reached the peak of the Azure Wing stage and was almost ready to complete its advancement to the Blue Blood stage!
In this vast world, all kinds of Demonic Beasts and ghosts ran rampant. Those with strange bloodlines were born with accompanying fate patterns and could likewise absorb elemental energy and accumulate destiny essence.
Moreover, the various extraordinary materials produced by Demonic Beasts and ghosts with fate patterns were the core materials human cultivators used to refine fate patterns.
Humans and Demonic Beasts and ghosts fought one another while treating each other as cultivation resources. This was the eternal theme of the cultivation world.
The ranks of Demonic Beasts and ghosts corresponded to the divisions in destiny essence quality. They likewise had five stages: White Fang, Azure Wing, Blue Blood, Purple Eye, and Golden Root.
The Azure Pearl's strength was precisely at the point where Azure Wing was complete but Blue Blood was not yet full.
In terms of cultivation, it was almost equal to a Dragon-Elephant Grand Accomplishment cultivator who had formed a Ghost Form. Its intelligence had long since become no different from that of an ordinary human.
After hearing Jing Qian's question, the Azure Pearl forced itself to transmit a strand of Magic Power toward him.
In an instant, Jing Qian's mind was dragged into an illusion.
Within this Magic Power illusion, he experienced the battle between Jing Su Shi, Fu Ying, and Ao Li from Jing Su Shi's perspective.
When great cultivators fought to the death, life and death were decided in the blink of an eye!
The successive deaths of two Dragon-Elephant cultivators made Jing Qian deeply feel the cruelty of the cultivation world.
He also immediately understood the reason behind the Azure Pearl's altered condition.
Under the pull of their contract, the death of a cultivator would inevitably greatly weaken the bonded beast's soul and damage its physical body.
The moment Jing Su Shi died, the Azure Pearl immediately suffered a tremendous backlash, and its soul was severely injured.
For the vast majority of Demonic Beasts and ghosts, their bodies were stronger than their souls, and the Azure Pearl was naturally no exception.
The soul injuries it had suffered could absolutely no longer be repaired through its own efforts.
Without precious spiritual medicine to treat it, its cultivation and lifespan would only gradually weaken under the torment of its soul damage, until it died.
But out on this boundless sea, where could Jing Qian find spiritual medicine to heal the Azure Pearl?
Watching the Azure Pearl beneath his feet struggle ceaselessly from the pain of its injuries, Jing Qian was helpless for a time!
Without the Azure Pearl's protection, aside from sinking to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, what other path to survival did he have?
What was more, through the Magic Power transmitted by the Azure Pearl, he had already sensed that a formidable enemy was clearly pursuing them, carrying his grandmother's corpse close behind!
Reality made Jing Qian's heart tighten. A thick sense of crisis sent the hairs all over his body standing on end.
In this situation, he and the Azure Pearl were already hanging by a thread!
Jing Qian spoke again:
"Azure Pearl, if I gather one unit of White Fang Destiny Essence and collect the Three Sacrifices, can you protect me while I establish my fate and enter the Dao?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Pearl, despite its grievous injuries, could not help turning back to examine him carefully.
Jing Qian saw eight enormous emerald-like compound eyes scrutinize him from head to toe, making his whole body feel icy cold.
Then the Azure Pearl opened its enormous mouth and spat two pieces of flesh wrapped in viscous gastric fluid in front of him.
Jing Qian took a careful look and found that they were one thick and short right hand and one slender right hand.
They were the remains of the two cultivators the Azure Pearl had gnawed clean not long ago!
Afterward, it cut off a small section of its own shimmering blue spider silk and tossed it in front of Jing Qian.
These three magical materials all contained destiny essence. They happened to make up the Three Sacrifices Jing Qian needed to establish his fate!
The request he had made was fulfilled by the Azure Pearl in the blink of an eye!
Jing Qian no longer hesitated. He nodded at it, lay straight down, and entered the Destiny Stele Space once more.
This time, under the pressure of the crisis of life and death, he would not leave until he had gathered one complete unit of destiny essence!
