Seizing this opportunity, Li Ling achieved several things at once. Not only did he thoroughly purify the Asura Corpse Abomination specially made by the Netherworld Sect, he also obtained its spirit resonance, purified himself, and gained a powerful Incense Deity out of thin air.
Chi Yingting marveled at the sight.
Apart from Li Ling, he understood the principles and the full course of events better than anyone, and was also the most deeply shaken.
"Master, you truly achieved several things with a single move.
"Not only did you complete the task assigned by the Radiance Heavenly Lord and resolve the problem the Demonic Path threw at us, you also weakened our opponents and strengthened yourself.
"But accomplishing all this was no easy feat.
"First, one needed sufficient attainments in the Incense Path to comprehend the mysteries of human-refined incense in a short time and master the art of Shape-Seizing Life-Creation.
"Then one had to improve the Incense Deity Visualization Method, turn the illusory into the real, and transform it into the Myriad Incenses Illusory Form method.
"Besides that, one also needed the conversion power derived from Will-Consent Incense to tame the vicious, brutal demonic nature within."
The methods of immortal cultivation came down to qi refining, and the methods of qi refining came down to three words: gathering, refining, and nurturing.
As the saying went, a true teaching took one sentence, while a false teaching filled ten thousand books. The keys to cultivating all the world's spell Dao lay within those words.
Li Ling cultivated through incense, and had grasped their essence as well.
Gathering meant collecting the essence of the Asura Corpse Abomination, drawing out its vital essence and transforming it into incense essence, converting its material particles.
Refining meant infusing it with incense fumigation and transmuting its will.
