Refining Spirit Treasures, Sensing Death
Time Yoyo like water, and countless years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qingqiu Li first spent hundreds of years thoroughly studying the array formations and restrictions that Ancestor Hongjun gave to Wu Chu, and she has become a master of treasure refining.
Then, she borrowed Wu Chu's Glazed Sunlight Lamp and tentatively crafted two Spirit Treasure for Wu Chu. Although she used materials from the Taiyi Realm, the quality of the two Spirit Treasure she crafted was no worse than the Phoenix Feather Fan that Fuxi had crafted for him.
One of the two Spirit Treasure was a seemingly small Bone Spear, crafted from a Giant Fang of Giant-Tusk Beast, and of mid-grade quality. Although it looked like an ivory chopstick, once activated by magical power, it could instantly possess the power to shatter mountains and shake peaks.
One item is the Bone Bead String, which is made from the eyeballs of those giant beasts. Twenty-four eyeballs of different colors were refined by Qingqiu Li into beads of the same size and size and strung together. Different types of beads will have different effects.
For example, the four golden eyeballs gouged from the heads of the Two-Headed Giant Alligator have the power to intimidate, awe, and control water; the two black beads obtained from the giant turtle help increase the speed of deduction and calculation; and the two red beads obtained from the giant octopus have a hallucinogenic effect...
When the twenty-four beads are put together, they can form a huge Myriad Phenomena Illusion Formation.
This bracelet is of superior quality, and before Wu Chu knew that the beads were the eyes of some giant beast, he really felt a strong liking for it.
But after learning that they were made from the eyeballs of those giant beasts, Wu Chu had no choice but to silently put them away.
Holding those giant beasts' eyeballs as plates always gave him a strange feeling.
Currently, Qingqiu Li is refining the third Spirit Treasure for Wu Chu, which is to use the hide of that Two-Headed Giant Alligator to make a set of leather armor.
Although Wu Chu obtained the Black Coffin from the old Ran Deng, which had amazing defensive capabilities, Qingqiu Li clearly sensed that Wu Chu did not like it.
Therefore, it's still somewhat necessary to help him forge a set of protective gear.
Wu Chu estimated that, with Qingqiu Li's current treasure-refining skills, he was already on par with his elder brother Fuxi and elder Nuwa.
After Qingqiu Li began crafting protective gear for him, Wu Chu finally started trying to come into contact with the deathly aura emanating from the Funerary Coffin.
Over the years, his cultivation has been steadily increasing. He has already refined the Light-Splitting Sacred Tree Hairpin given to him by Nuwa and the Seven-Treasure Radiance Kerchief given to him by Houtu.
It's time to 'taste death'!
In this regard, Miss Houtu can give him some advice, because Houtu began to come into contact with this death energy tens of thousands of years ago.
At Houtu's suggestion, Wu Chu tried to restrain the Merit Power within his body, allowing the death energy to slowly corrode his body in order to sense the various laws within the death energy.
How can one know life without dying?
These are the words that Miss Houtu told him.
Only by personally experiencing death and feeling the body gradually perish can one truly grasp the power of the laws contained within the Palace of Deathly Aura, adapt to this aura of death at the fastest speed, and ultimately master this power.
In fact, as Golden Immortal, to advance to the Taiyi Realm, one also needs to comprehend a certain Great Dao Laws. Only by comprehending the original power of a certain Great Dao Laws and making this Great Dao Laws power one's own can one be qualified to be called Taiyi Realm cultivator.
Wu Chu's original plan was to directly comprehend the Five Elements Dao Five Elements Origin, which should greatly help him comprehend the origin of the Great Dao Laws of the Unity of the Five Elements. Moreover, the Five Elements Dao is one of the most fundamental and important of the three thousand Great Dao. Therefore, comprehending this Great Dao can be said to be a natural thing to do.
But why, when so many beings comprehended the origin of the Five Elements, did not all choose to comprehend the Five Elements Dao of the Five Elements in their subsequent comprehension of the Great Dao Laws?
Qingqiu Li's answer to him was that the mutual generation and restraint among the various forces in the Five Elements Great Dao Law were actually much more complex than he had imagined. It might be relatively easy to get started, but to truly understand it and be able to apply it to one's own use was not easy at all.
That being said, Wu Chu would not easily choose to comprehend the Death Dao. He only needed to gain a slight understanding of this power of the Law of Death, to the point that he could initially control it and prevent it from conflicting with the Merit Power within his body.
The Merit Power has the effect of removing negative forces from the body. If he does not control the Merit Power, the death energy that enters his body will be expelled by the Merit Power, and the Merit Power will also be depleted as a result.
Compared to the Way of Death, he would much rather comprehend the Five Elements Dao or the Yin Yang Dao. Of course, there's nothing wrong with comprehending more Great Dao.
After all, to advance to the Daluo realm, one needs to comprehend several more Great Dao Laws.
The Daluo encompasses everything and is omnipotent. If one hasn't comprehended several Great Dao, how can one claim that their Dao is all-encompassing and omnipotent?
Of course, most of this so-called 'omnipotence' is just boasting.
If we're really going to be precise, even the Ancestor Hongjun wouldn't dare say he's omnipotent.
According to Wu Chu's friends who are at the Daluo, the more Great Dao Laws one comprehends, the stronger one's cultivation will be.
The Five Elements can reverse Yin Yang; these two Great Dao can be said to be Great Dao. His Daluo friends are basically proficient in both of these Great Dao.
However, they all have their own main path of cultivation, such as Qingqiu Li's Illusion Dao, Hong Yun's Floating Cloud Dao, Zhen Yuanzi's Zhenyuan Dao, Nuwa's Creation and Life Dao... However, their paths have obviously not reached the realm of turning decay into wonder.
In the future, Nuwa's Creation and Life Dao will turn decay into wonder, creating the Human Clan, thus qualifying her to become Sage. Houtu's Reincarnation Dao will also turn decay into wonder, Reincarnation, with her Primordial Spirit eternally guarding the Netherworld, thus qualifying her to be invincible within her Reincarnation Land.
However, as Houtu, now a Houtu of the Witch Clan, she obviously wouldn't deliberately try to comprehend those laws of power, let alone have any intention of comprehending the Reincarnation Dao.
After all, the cultivation of their Witch Clan only requires constantly stimulating the power of their bloodline.
Although Wu Chu has not yet decided on his main cultivation path, he is not in a hurry. After all, the main and secondary paths can be changed at any time. Just like how Miss Houtu will transform into the Reincarnation as Ancestral Witch in the Houtu.
With the help of so many powerful friends, Wu Chu already had a very clear plan for his cultivation path and wouldn't lose his way.
Cultivators immersed in their practice generally do not feel pain. They are either immersed in comprehending the Great Dao Laws or in the joy brought by breathing in spiritual energy. But Wu Chu, shrouded in death energy, was enduring excruciating pain.
With Miss Houtu watching over him, he felt he should put on a tough guy act, lest she think Houtu was even worse than a witch of the Witch Clan.
He could feel his muscles gradually atrophying and rotting, and more and more death energy emanating from the Black Coffin, covering his body. His life force was gradually dying off. This strange feeling of gradually moving towards death was absolutely terrifying.
