The blood test for identification went very smoothly.
However, there wasn't much in the storage ring.
The vast space was empty and desolate.
There was only one shield, one triangular flag, and two jade slips.
[ Thorns Shield: Unowned, can be bound by blood, Earth Pin magic item that reflects a certain amount of damage, but ineffective against cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm or above.]
This thing is a pretty good treasure for cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm.
Keep it for now.
[ Soul Refining Banner: Unowned, can be bound by blood; Heaven Pin Grade Magic Treasure; can collect souls and Spirit Transformation into pure Soul Power; absorbing souls greatly enhances one's own soul.]
This thing looks a bit... unorthodox!
Isn't this the Legend Human Emperor Banner?
Hmm, no, it's far inferior to the Human Emperor Banner.
This thing isn't an offensive magic weapon; it can only be used to absorb and Spirit Transformation.
It may be a bit unconventional, but it's definitely a great find.
Things that can enhance the soul are probably very rare even in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Keep it for now, you never know when you might need it.
[Jade slip: This is an immortal's diary, recording the extraordinary life of an immortal from their first steps into the Immortal Cultivation Realm to their ultimate demise.]
[Jade Slip: This contains a Map of forbidden and secret realms in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. It contains great dangers as well as great opportunities. A one-time use item; use with caution.]
Ling Yi glanced at the two jade slips, and after a moment, put the second jade slip away.
Then, he placed the first jade slip on his forehead.
He was curious to see what exactly was recorded in this immortal's diary.
This so-called immortal's diary provides a perfect opportunity to learn more about this world.
The owner of the diary was named Yun Song.
He was an orphan from a young age, and did not know his parents. He was found by an old Daoist priest from a dilapidated temple by the river.
The name was naturally given to him by the old Daoist priest.
The day after the old Daoist priest brought Yun Song back, as he left the Daoist temple, he happened to see the white clouds in the sky and the green pine tree at the temple gate aligned.
It's like a cloud has appeared on a pine tree.
Thus, the name Yun Song came into being.
When Yun Song was twelve years old, the old Daoist priest passed away peacefully in his old age. Before his death, he entrusted his last possessions to Yun Song.
It was an iron box containing several hundred taels of silver notes and a book.
Book title: The Longevity Formula.
It was with this Longevity Formula that Yun Song Entry cultivation journey and became a cultivator.
The name " Longevity Formula" sounds pleasant, and it's not difficult to cultivate.
However, his cultivation speed is extremely slow.
Ten years of Qi Refining, twenty years of Spirit Tempering and Foundation Establishment have not yet been completed.
But Yun Song had no other way to obtain cultivation techniques.
The mortal realm is vast.
Cultivators are not people you can meet whenever you want.
In the eyes of most ordinary people, immortals are mostly Legend, and it's rare to see one in a lifetime.
Yun Song had no other way out but to continue cultivating.
This cultivation lasted for over a hundred years.
The Longevity Formula did indeed extend Yun Song's lifespan, allowing him to look like he was in his forties or fifties even when he was over a hundred years old, with his hair not yet completely white.
But that's all.
At the age of one hundred and thirty, his lifespan is nearing its end. If he cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment, he will die and his cultivation will be completely lost.
But in that very year, bandits descended from the mountains, massacring villages, robbing grain, money, and women.
Yun Song's dilapidated temple was on the back mountain, and I didn't want to meddle in his business.
He was a selfish man by nature, and as long as these bandits didn't provoke him, he naturally wouldn't cause any trouble.
Unexpectedly, someone in the village told others about his existence.
It is said that he has lived for over a hundred years but shows no signs of aging, so there must be a great secret about him.
The bandits became interested and went to the Daoist temple.
In order to protect himself, Yun Song had no choice but to kill these bandits.
This was the first time the Ga people were transported, and it was because of this transport that Yun Song discovered the true secret of the Longevity Formula.
It can absorb human Blood Spiritual Power to nourish itself.
This Longevity Formula is fundamentally an evil art.
But Yun Song didn't care about whether it was a wicked or evil martial art; with his lifespan nearing its end, he couldn't care less about such things.
This marked the beginning of a bloody path.
For the next two years, Yun Song wandered between border battlefields of various countries.
It specifically devours the Blood Spiritual Power of dead corpses.
Not only did he successfully break through the Foundation Establishment, but he also completed the Crystal Condensation and is about to Core Formation.
However, as one's cultivation level increases, the amount of Qi and Blood and Spiritual Power required also increases.
At this point, Yun Song had completely lost himself in the power.
He began to take matters into his own hands.
From a village, to a city, to a prefecture, and then to a country.
His cultivation level progressed from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Infant Realm, then to the Nascent Soul Realm, and finally got stuck at the Divine Platform Realm.
Every hundred years, Yun Song would come out and wreak havoc.
Then refine the spiritual energy and blood.
This cycle repeated itself for a thousand years.
He remained stuck at the Divine Platform Realm, unable to break through even half an inch.
At this point, Yun Song already knew that his inability to break through was not due to a problem with his cultivation technique.
It's not because his Spiritual Root aptitude is too low; the Divine Platform Realm is his upper limit.
However, one's innate Spiritual Root are difficult to improve.
Natural treasures that can enhance one's Spiritual Root are extremely rare.
Even if there were relevant information, it was not something a rogue cultivator like him could get his hands on.
So, if you want to change your inherent constitution, you can only take a crooked path: perfect Body Possession!
Body Possession is easy.
As long as a cultivator's soul is strong, he can freely Body Possession the bodies of other living beings.
However, this Body Possession is only temporary.
Because of the mismatch between the soul and the body, there will be a very strong sense of rejection.
The longer it goes on, the stronger the sense of rejection becomes.
Until it becomes completely out of control, then abandon it entirely.
Most importantly, the body that Body Possession was so incompatible with the soul that it was difficult to even enter the Divine Platform Realm.
Because the Divine Platform Realm involves the unity of the soul and the body.
The spirit, soul, and body are united as one, which is the Unification Realm.
God is the Primordial Spirit, soul is the divine soul, and body is the physical body.
The Primordial Spirit is the vessel of the soul, and the physical body is the vessel of the Primordial Spirit.
Only when these three elements Unification can an unparalleled Divine Body Forging and Spirit Transformation achieved.
The person Body Possession another's body cannot reunite their soul with their Primordial Spirit, nor can their Primordial Spirit reunite with their physical body.
Naturally, he was unable to break through to Unification Nascent Soul Realm.
Yun Song has studied for hundreds of years and has developed a method from the Longevity Formula that can enhance and Spirit Transformation.
"I must say, this Yun Song is truly a genius."
Ling Yi clicked his tongue twice.
"To think that one could perfectly Refinement the Spirit God by Spirit Transformation souls with other souls!"
Spirit Transformation, it can naturally and perfectly adapt to the physical body, and there will be no more sense of rejection.
However, Yun Song has found his way.
But there was no chance to use it.
Over the years, he has slaughtered six countries, thoroughly enraging the immortal sect behind these six countries: the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The Heavenly Dao Sect dispatched twelve elders, all of whom were powerful figures at the Unification Realm.
Yun Song was merely at the Divine Platform Realm; how could he be a match for him?
They could only flee in panic, narrowly escaping death several times.
They eventually stumbled into the Demon Land, and in their panic, they ended up in the very heart of Demon Land.
However, he was already severely injured and at his last gasp.
Left with no other choice, they could only make do with whatever cave they could find.
He sealed off the soul and set up a soul assimilation Formation, waiting for the unlucky one to come knocking.
They seized the opportunity to Body Possession in Qiusheng.
The reason why the Great Sage and his companions could understand human language was because...
It was precisely because they entered this Soul Assimilation Formation that, while their souls were assimilated, they simultaneously mastered human language.
