Three Heads and Six Arms

Wang Quan chuckled. "If there's any danger, I can get out in an instant!"

The Officiant Daoist Nun and the others actually knew that a Yin Spirit could return to its body with a mere shift of thought.

Yet the thought of so many Yin Spirit experts entering the Second-Layer World still left them uneasy, afraid to enter.

Now that Wang Quan had led the way, however, they grew bolder. "Since you say it's safe in there, we'll go take a look too!"

The Officiant Daoist Nun and Dream Nun fell silent.

Wang Quan then saw a message from Wu Yong.

All he said was that an unprecedented upheaval was coming, and he hoped Wang Quan would switch to cultivating the [White Bone Great Strength Gods and Devils Method] as soon as possible, then join his team.

Wang Quan did not reply. He simply pretended he had not seen it.

Only after dealing with these trifles did he settle down to examine the [First-Rank Dao Seal].

[Yin Virtue +1000]

The first piece of information appeared.

Wang Quan froze. "Was that for delivering the general? Or because the Great Tomb collapsed?"

He could not figure it out either, so he kept reading.

[Permanently destroyed the Great Tomb and reflected a building complex into the Present World; granted a wisp of favor by the Second-Layer World.]

[One wisp of second-layer favor: 1. Die in your place once in the Second-Layer World. 2. Escape one hundred thousand li away once. 3. Can transform into Foundation Establishment Spirit Light.]

Wang Quan was stunned... then he smiled.

What a treasure.

Every one of these three properties was important.

Take the first ability: if only his Yin Spirit entered the Second-Layer World, he need not worry about life or death. If things turned ugly, he could return immediately.

In most circumstances, he would not die. At worst, his Yin Spirit would suffer grievous injuries.

But if he descended into the Second-Layer World in his physical body, returning to the Present World when danger struck still required preparation.

And that preparation took several full seconds, or even longer.

In a life-or-death battle, he could be killed during that time.

At such a moment, combining this with other death-substitution spells would give him another life, allowing him to return safely to the Present World.

As for the second ability: escaping one hundred thousand li away.

That was an unequivocal lifesaving ability.

Moonlight Escape at the Qi Refining Realm only carried him ten li away.

If he used this ability at the Qi Refining Realm, ordinary enemies probably would not catch up to him in their entire lifetimes.

The last one: Foundation Establishment Spirit Light.

That was even more important.

An immortal cultivator needed at least one strand of Foundation Establishment Spirit Light to establish their foundation.

They could refine it themselves, buy it, or gather naturally occurring Foundation Establishment Spirit Light.

Many immortal cultivators spent decades, even a hundred years, without obtaining a single strand of Foundation Establishment Spirit Light.

Now that this could turn into a strand of Foundation Establishment Spirit Light, half the work for his future Foundation Establishment was already done.

It could also save him decades, or even a hundred years.

"What a treasure!"

Wang Quan was delighted.

By now, he was also certain that the +1000 Yin Virtue had been earned by delivering the general.

Lastly, there was a spell-or rather, an unorthodox art:

[Three Heads and Six Arms].

This unorthodox art was the reward the delivered general had given him after regaining clarity of mind.

Wang Quan had initially thought it was a spell belonging to [Life Cultivation]. Though its cultivation method was a little unusual, it was still within his understanding.

In his previous life, he had seen three heads and six arms in all sorts of films, television shows, and novels. He could understand the concept.

But after actually examining the unorthodox art [Three Heads and Six Arms], he discovered it was different from what he had imagined.

This unorthodox art, [Three Heads and Six Arms], required cultivating numerous prerequisite [Life Cultivation] and [Nature Cultivation] spells before combining them.

And the combination had another restriction: a [third-rank Dao Seal].

That meant:

Without a [third-rank Dao Seal], he could not master the true [Three Heads and Six Arms].

As everyone knew:

Just like mushroom bombs, the more restrictions something had, the greater its power.

At that moment, he placed great value on [Three Heads and Six Arms]. He was also glad he had completed the Ten Thousand Scrolls Dao Canon before formally refining spells, ultimately obtaining the [First-Rank Dao Seal].

Without the [First-Rank Dao Seal], he would never have been able to learn [Three Heads and Six Arms] in his lifetime, and would also have missed out on the [People-Crossing Scripture].

Phew!

Wang Quan exhaled a breath of stale air.

He carefully studied [Three Heads and Six Arms]. The power of this [third-rank Dao Seal]-level unorthodox art was not described in detail. There was only one final line: [Three heads undying, six arms indestructible; this is one of the prerequisite fundamental methods for Four Sides and Eight Directions.]

The spell [Three Heads and Six Arms] was broken down into three [second-rank Dao Seal]-level spells and three [First-Rank Dao Seal] spells.

The three spells that could be cultivated with a [First-Rank Dao Seal] were [Flying Head Art], [Multiple Arms Art], and [Yang Qi Furnace].

All three belonged to [Life Cultivation].

Apart from [Yang Qi Furnace], the other two required [Life Cultivation] to reach a certain level before they could be cultivated.

"Then I should find some time to cultivate this [Yang Qi Furnace]."

The [Yang Qi Furnace] cultivation method was simple. As long as the cultivator's kidneys were powerful, they could cultivate it quickly.

In the Great Tomb general's memories, even after swallowing a strange fruit that aided cultivation, he had taken more than two hundred full years just to get started.

Then he had hurried to cultivate the other spells, finally rushing to complete the combination of [Three Heads and Six Arms].

Wang Quan frowned. "More than two hundred years just to get started? Why so slow?"

After studying it carefully, his gaze finally settled on the lines about powerful kidney function.

"My own kidneys aren't enough, but I can rent other people's kidneys!"

"Didn't that general know he could rent other people's kidneys back then?"

"Or did it make little difference even if he rented them?"

"Never mind. I'll try it tomorrow and see."

There was still some time before dawn, and all of Seven Maidens Mountain was quiet.

The spirits and monsters slept soundly. The martial artists either practiced their martial arts, paired off as men and women to perform reproduction rituals, or slept.

Wang Quan picked a spot at random and made some arrangements, then drove his Yin Spirit into the Second-Layer World again.

Bustling!

The Drowning Dao Lower Court in the Second-Layer World was exceptionally lively.

The sky and ground were packed with Yin Spirits everywhere.

These Yin Spirits crowded around the newly reflected Dormitory Building, some weaving through its interior, others drifting outside.

Wang Quan thought they looked like ghosts draped in white sheets.

He ignored the crowd and went to the coffin area to adjust his condition, then began bringing out thirteen sets of lungs, a jade plate, moon phases, and the rest.

He wanted to harvest the blood-colored moonlight of the Second-Layer World and prepare to refine thunderfire capable of contaminating Yin Spirits.

Bzzt, bzzt!

Gurgle, gurgle!

As he circulated the [Bright Moon Shines on Me Method], great quantities of blood-colored moonlight streamed down from the sky onto the jade plate.

Since he did not need to refine a spell, once enough moonlight had collected on the jade plate, he poured the shimmering liquid moonlight into the Gourd.

Harvesting moonlight this time, Wang Quan discovered that it was roughly a tenth faster than in the Present World.

The time it took to drink a cup of tea...

The time it took an incense stick to burn...

An hour...

He had gathered enough material to refine one batch of moonlight thunderfire, but Wang Quan did not stop. He continued harvesting moonlight.

Because:

There were dozens of major categories of moonlight thunderfire.

He wanted to harvest several batches of moonlight in one go and refine several major categories of thunderfire to use in different situations.

An hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

With dawn approaching, Wang Quan finished refining his spells.

He gazed into the distance and discovered that the Yin Spirits flying all over the sky had begun leaving this world one after another.

Only cultivators who had refined a Yang Spirit and descended in their physical bodies could still move about the Second-Layer World after daybreak.

"Then... I'll come back tomorrow night!"
