The Three Souls and Seven Souls were themselves spirits, governing every aspect of a person's body. Of these, the Seven Souls were stubborn, murky spirits. As the Daoist texts said: "All are foul ghosts within the body!"
The Seven Souls were ghosts born of sinister yin energy. They loved evil and spurned good, grew accustomed to death rather than Sheng. They sought to swell the self, indulged the palate until it grew dull and turbid. They reveled in the stench and filth of corpses, hastened a person's decline through leakage, and craved human death and sacrifice...
Thus, proper cultivators had to gather the Hun and keep the Po at bay. They also spoke of subduing the wicked Po: guide the Hun, master the corpse-Po. This was the art of refining the body!
But the General's Temple was no great, prestigious sect. Situated in Nan Wasteland, it had also absorbed a great deal of witchcraft. It even had some ties to the once-renowned Southern Demon Cult...
Thus, although the General's Temple's Dao Arts were rooted in an orthodox path, its methods were far too ruthless. It had absorbed untold amounts of witchcraft, even cultivation methods from the Demon Cult. The Nine Luminaries Heavenly Heart Method was no exception.
Wicked Po that ordinary Daoist cultivators avoided like the plague were cultivated here and turned into Fu Shi Ghosts for battle... Such methods were closer to those of the Demon Cult of old!
Now that it had left his body as a vicious ghostly Demon to kill, how fearsome was its power?
It gave Zhen Wuren virtually no time to react. It rushed forward and slashed, and his Primordial Spirit seemed about to scatter on the spot...
But Zhen Wuren had dared to ambush Tang Changsheng. How could he be an easy opponent?
