Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture

In order to save his life, Xue Gui of the Heavenly Ghost Sect answered all of Zhou Wuji's questions.

Even without Zhou Wuji asking, Xue Gui would proactively tell him a lot of things.

Seeing Xue Gui's cooperation and his own interest in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Zhou Wuji chatted with him for a while longer.

As dawn broke in the east, Zhou Wuji knew he couldn't continue the conversation. After all, this place wasn't far from Yunyang City, and who knew what kind of people they might encounter in broad daylight.

"We cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Sect cannot live in the open, and our rules are extremely strict. We low-level cultivators are often powerless to change our fate..."

That's enough.

Zhou Wuji interrupted Xue Gui's incessant chatter and asked calmly, "Do you have any last words?"

Xue Gui's ugly old face was filled with fear, but then he put on a pleading expression. "I will tell you everything I know, please spare me."

"In a life-or-death situation, you should offer some insightful quotes or reflections on life, not spout nonsense."

Zhou Wuji felt no sympathy for Xue Gui. To cultivate to the Sixth Rank rank in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, one must have refined human souls. This man had countless innocent souls under his control.

As stipulated by the imperial law, such Devil Cultivator should be punished by everyone.

Xue Gui was about to beg for mercy again Zhou Wuji's bamboo staff erupted with True Qi like thorns, penetrating deeply into Xue Gui's brain.

The Night Rain Sword Qi, transformed from this True Qi, is profound and icy, penetrating straight to the soul.

Let alone Xue Gui, even Sixth Rank martial artist would surely die if struck on the head like that.

The ugly old man's body trembled slightly, his pupils dilated, and the light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

The light, like water and lightning, flowed along the bamboo staff, covering Xue Gui's entire body, inside and out.

Zhou Wuji knew Xue Gui was dead, but he didn't know what other strange things Xue Gui had on him, so he used Yin Thunder to destroy them all.

Opening the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, Xue Gui's destiny is four taels and six mace.

Without much thought, he directly transferred four taels and six qian of Origin Profound Spirit into the Tianji Sword.

This sword Swordsmanship uses the law as its sword. While it is not as sophisticated as the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder, it is extremely profound.

He invested two or so ounces of Origin Profound Spirit, but barely managed to cultivate to the proficient level.

This level of Secret Method is useless even for low-level Origin Profound Spirit.

As the purple light descended, a small world unfolded, within which Zhou Wuji diligently cultivated the Tianji Sword.

The Tianji Sword uses stellar power to transform water, fire, yin, and yang, hence the Tianji Lineage excels at weapon crafting.

Zhou Wuji diligently cultivated day and night in the small world, truly comprehending the changes in the Tianji Star Power...

When the purple light dissipated, his Tianji Sword had reached its peak.

Looking at the annotations on the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, Zhou Wuji was also somewhat moved.

This is equivalent to Xue Gui practicing the Tianji Sword for a lifetime and only reaching the Great Mastery level.

Moreover, this also includes his profound foundation in the Northern Dipper Tianshu Scripture, coupled with his deep understanding of the Big Dipper Star Domain.

This demonstrates the complexity of the Tianji Sword, a magical sword technique.

Even the Tianji Sword at its peak has no solution for cultivating both magic and martial arts.

The Tianji Sword is essentially a transformation of Law Power, only it has been transformed into Sword Qi, giving it an extremely sharp edge.

There are corresponding sword techniques, but they are very simple.

Clearly, the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword is a complete Swordsmanship, while the Tianji Sword, taken out separately, is somewhat lacking in sword moves and footwork. More importantly, it lacks the overarching principles that govern the entire technique.

Fortunately, he was highly skilled in the Xiaoxiang Sword and could integrate the Tianji Sword into the Xiaoxiang Sword.

The True Person Zhihua readily imparted the Tianji Sword to him was probably because he saw this point.

Zhou Wuji suppressed his distracting thoughts and flicked his finger to unleash a burst of Tianji Profound Yang Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi landed on Xue Gui like a point of azure starlight, and the starlight instantly intensified, turning Xue Gui into a ball of boiling azure light.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Gui disintegrated into specks of starlight and scattered, leaving not a trace of ash behind.

Zhou Wuji had witnessed the power of the Tianji Profound Yang Sword once, so he was still somewhat surprised to see it used this time.

The Tianji Profound Yang Sword is not a real flame, but rather it transforms Xue Gui into flames; this transformation method is extremely domineering.

This is why the ability to kill without leaving any trace is practically an essential skill for anyone wanting to commit murder.

Before dawn, Zhou Wuji returned to the stone house.

The opening and closing of the stone house would make noise, but Zhou Wuji used the divided Five Yin Pouch to cover it, thus blocking out all sound.

Not to mention the two children wouldn't notice anything unusual, even Yiping wouldn't hear a sound.

Back in his room, Zhou Wuji took out all the items from the Five Yin Pouch.

The most valuable book is undoubtedly the one called "The Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture," which is a very important foundational Secret Method of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

The book in Xue Gui's hands has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it can be considered an important inherited magic Law Artifact in the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Upon seeing this manual, Zhou Wuji knew that Xue Gui's identity was extraordinary and far from being as humble as the old man had claimed.

As for why the old man dared to carry it with him, it was naturally because the "Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture" was recorded in secret text, which outsiders could not understand.

As the foundational Secret Method of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, this technique also requires the worship of the Lord of Heavenly Ghosts, also known as the Ten-Thousand-Zhang High Heaven Ghost.

Without a master from the sect presiding over the sacrificial ceremony and obtaining the talisman from the Lord of Heavenly Ghosts, it is impossible to cultivate the Secret Method of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Zhou Wuji and Xue Gui talked for a long time, with Zhou Wuji inquiring in detail about the internal situation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, including how to cultivate various Secret Method.

Xue Gui didn't care about this; even if First Rank celestial master obtained the secret manual, he still wouldn't be able to practice it.

The various factions of the Demonic Cult have a bad reputation, but they may have survived for generations and possess powerful Divine Ability.

Zhou Wuji, however, wanted to give it a try, as the complete "Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture" was quite valuable.

He possesses the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, which may allow him to bypass various rituals and practice this method directly.

At that time, we can fully reap the benefits and avoid the harms.

The Heavenly Ghost Sect's Secret Method are indeed exquisite, but more importantly, the Heavenly Ghost Sect's methods are not related to him.

As the saying goes, people can be good or evil, but the law has no inherent righteousness or wickedness.

Besides the secret manual, there is also a very heavy soul-summoning banner. The pole supporting the banner is forged from black iron mixed with human blood and soul essence, and is called Hundred Souls Iron. In reality, it is a six-foot-long spear.

Hidden inside the soul-summoning banner is a Sixth Rank Ghost Soldier. These ghosts are refined using human souls and are exceptionally ferocious and intelligent.

Zhou Wuji didn't destroy the Soul-Summoning Banner because he wanted to see if he could refine the "Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture".

If one could control such a ghostly creature, it might be of some use.

As for Ghost Sword Xue Ying, he was a Fifth Rank expert, proficient not only in controlling ghosts but also in the Seven Yin Soul-Seizing Sword, making him quite formidable.

The evil spirits causing trouble in Wu Household Village must be related to Xue Ying. However, Xue Gui genuinely didn't know the specifics.

Zhou Wuji was slightly curious about this, however, Fifth Rank ghost cultivator and Fifth Rank ghost were not the same thing.

Ghosts are dull and stupid, but ghost cultivators are living beings and won't let him manipulate them.

Although his cultivation Secret Method are very effective against ghost cultivators, his True Qi level is also strong, and he also has the White Rainbow Sword, Xue Ying should not be underestimated.

Fifth Rank cultivator may possess some treasures or Secret Method; this matter will be handled by Zhihe, and it's not his place to intervene...

Although Zhou Wuji possessed the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, he would not underestimate the heroes of the world.

He should be relying on his strength to bully the weak and quickly accumulate resources for cultivation, instead of challenging powerful enemies.

After having breakfast, Zhou Wuji took the "Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture" and went to find Daoist Yiping.

"Uncle-Master, do you recognize these characters?"

"Great Yin Snake and Insect Seal Script, this script has a long history. It is said that it was created by High Antiquity sages based on the shape of snakes and insects."

"It began as a script for recording human prayers, then gradually became a script used exclusively for witchcraft, and finally became a script used exclusively by the demonic sects..."

Daoist Yiping has been lying down for many years, but he hasn't just been lying there. While guarding the Flying Profound Hall, he has read countless books.

He also liked to ponder these things, and actually recognized the Great Yin Snake and Insect Seal Script.

Daoist Yiping returned the manual to Zhou Wuji: "This thing is evil; I won't touch it."

"I'll teach you to recognize the Snake and Insect Seal Script. It's actually quite simple."

Zhou Wuji smiled. His martial uncle really was afraid of trouble. Well, that was fine too, as he could learn more.

The Demonic Sect likes to use the Great Yin Snake and Insect Seal Script, and he will be able to use it after he learns it.

After studying the Snake and Insect Seal Script for two days, Zhou Wuji, with his powerful memory, had already recognized several thousand characters.

Looking at the "Profound Yin Reincarnation Scripture" again, I was able to understand most of it.

However, the Snake and Insect Seal Script is very complex, and a single character often has several interpretations. One needs to have a profound understanding of this script in order to arrive at the correct understanding by connecting it with the context.

After two days, Zhou Wuji was about to go find Jin Ying to inquire about the situation when a young Daoist disciple came to deliver a message: "Uncle-Master Wuji, the abbot requests your presence."

The young Daoist then reminded Zhou Wuji, "Uncle-Master, we have guests with us today. Please change your clothes."

Zhou Wuji understood; it was an envoy from the Heavenly Master's Manor's Mansion.

He has refrained from going out for the past two days, actually waiting for people from the Heavenly Master's Manor.

Having changed into a brand new Daoist robe and headband, Zhou Wuji, wielding the White Rainbow Sword, took Yang Tie Ying, who had also changed into a new Daoist robe, to the Heavenly Pivot Hall.

Upon entering the Heavenly Pivot Hall, Zhou Wuji saw Abbot Zhihe and Hall Master Daoist Yiding, with two Daoists standing opposite them.

Dozens of Daoist priests stood on both sides, all from various branches of the Lower Court. The large number of people showed the importance the Lower Court attached to the mission; this was the basic etiquette for receiving envoys from the Heavenly Master's Manor.

The two envoys from the Heavenly Master's Manor included an old acquaintance, Zhishan, and an old Daoist priest from the Yuheng Lineage. The assessment was a challenge for him.

It was precisely Zhishan's predicament that he was able to solve the Five Dragons Gang's blood sacrifice case.

Zhou Wuji remembered Zhishan's predicament, and seeing Zhishan with a smile on his face again this time, he felt quite complicated.

This time, Zhishan was clearly standing at the lower end, but the real important person was the Daoist priest beside him. This man had white hair and a youthful face, wore a purple robe with gold patterns, Primordial Unity Qi, and Primordial Unity Qi on his chest. He was clearly a master of the Primordial Chaos Cult.

The Daoist Yiding beckoned to Zhou Wuji: "Wuji, come and pay your respects to the two seniors, Zhichong Zhishan, of the Heavenly Master's Manor."

The seven sects of Daoism share the same lineage and origin, and use the same generational ranking system.

Morality illuminates stillness, true constancy guards the Great Purity. Profound and supreme is the One, from which the wondrous principle of Heaven arises.

These twenty characters clearly explain the seniority system within the Daoist community.

Among the seven major Primordial Chaos Cult, the Hunyuan School is the most prominent, and the Primordial Origin One Qi Great Heavenly King is generally recognized as the head of all gods.

As a master of the Primordial Chaos Cult, Zhichong Chong's status was half a generation higher than that of Zhihe and Zhishan, who were also of the same generation.

Of course, these are the unspoken rules within the Daoist community. However, the specific rules will naturally differ for each individual.

Zhou Wuji stepped forward, bowed, and greeted him.

Zhichong looked at Zhou Wuji, who was dressed in flowing blue robes, with admiration in his eyes.

He waved his whisk and praised, "So handsome and dashing, like Celestial Person being. Truly outstanding!"

Zhichong then turned to Zhihe and said, "With such a genius in your sect, how can it not prosper?"

"Senior brother, you flatter me. Although this child has some talent, he is still young and his cultivation is shallow. It's too early to say anything now..."

Zhihe a few polite words, which was basic courtesy and also a way of protecting the younger generation.

If others praise Zhou Wuji, Zhihe will also praise Zhou Wuji, which will only make things worse for Zhou Wuji.

It's true that the seven factions of the Northern Pole Sect are at odds, but they still have to protect their own people in front of outsiders, and they can't let outsiders laugh at them.

Zhou Wuji lowered his head slightly, not needing to speak; he could simply listen obediently.

Just as Zhihe had considered, there was no need to make a scene about his conflict with Yuheng in front of outsiders.

That would not only make Zhichong their sect's discord, but also make him seem reckless, impulsive, and unfit for great responsibility.

Zhichong Zhihe Zhi He, Zhichong said seriously, "Now that Wuji has arrived, please set up an incense table to receive the decree from Heavenly Master Qingxu."

The altar was ready, Zhichong placed the scroll of the decree on it and silently prayed to the North Pole Heavenly Emperor.

As the abbot, Zhishan also offered incense and prayers.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhichong picked up the scroll, unfurled it, and read, "By imperial decree, Zhou Wuji the Cloud Dragon Lower Court, is intelligent and insightful, possesses profound knowledge of Daoist magic, is compassionate, and wisely overcomes demonic calamities."

"Today, I hereby confer upon you Seventh Rank ordination certificate, and award you a star-embroidered robe of gold and white jade whisk..."
