Chapter 115: Witch Flame Incantation

  It is recorded in ancient books that Xiūshì first appeared in the Primordial Era.

  Tai Gu is a lost legend, and until now, no one knows about the legend of Tai Gu anymore.

  After the Primordial Era, it was the Archaic Era! The Archaic Era, also known as the Remote Antiquity. In that era, there were countless strong individuals, and who knows how many extraordinary figures emerged. Those people were all cultivators of unparalleled prowess, with the strongest among them even capable of defying the heavens and slaying immortals.

  In ancient times, there were witches, Confucians, and they existed in that era.

  "This thing, I reckon it hasn't been sold yet, and I've already been killed by someone......" Ding Yan furrowed his brow.

  Who dares to take this thing and sell it?

  The ancient cultivation method, if it gets out, might attract those old freaks from the Central Plains.

  Putting aside his intention to practice the Body Refining Great Technique, Ding Yan once again took out a yellowed ancient book from the pile of books.

  "Tongtian Sword Manual" is a thoroughly offensive technique. Every sword strike must have the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, of course, it requires sufficient immortal yuan to support it.

  Ding Yan's mouth twitched slightly as he picked up another book again.

  Ancient Witchcraft!

  Ding Yan glanced at the cover and threw it aside directly.

  Soul extinction nine turns.

  Spring and Autumn Five Brushstrokes

  The Most Holy Way...

  After putting down the last book, Ding Yan casually swept his sleeve and poured out all the ancient books from Huang Quan Lao Xian's storage space. For a moment, piles of yellowed ancient books filled the entire stone room. Ding Yan estimated that there were over three hundred volumes. Compared to the number of ancient books he had collected before, many were missing.

  But after a moment's thought, Ding Yan understood the reason behind it.

  The spiritual energy within the storage space was all absorbed by the Ten Soul Rebirth Array under the city of False Death. The reason those magical instruments and artifacts shattered was because of this. Although these ancient books were written on paper, they all contained some amount of spiritual energy. Once the spiritual energy was completely absorbed, the books would also turn to ash and disappear. Only a small portion of ancient books made from extremely special materials could remain intact.

  With a thought, Ding Yan indeed found a pile of book fragments and dust left behind in the space within Qian Kun's sleeve.

  "It was just that I didn't know who was sleeping inside that huge stone coffin......" Ding Yan's mind involuntarily recalled that one pale palm.

  Putting aside his thoughts, Ding Yan picked up the ancient books on the ground and began to flip through them one by one.

  Several hours passed.

  Ding Yan threw away the last ancient book, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.

  These over 300 ancient books, each one is a shocking and unparalleled divine art that shakes the past and present. If they were to be leaked out, it would definitely stir up a storm of blood and rain. With Ding Yan's current cultivation level, he would definitely not dare to take them out to sell.

  "With this ancient cultivation method, the problem of physical cultivation is no longer a concern, only... without a large amount of elixirs to assist me, it will take at least ten thousand years for me to cultivate Gu's divine ability." Ding Yan sat in his original position, frowning and speechless.

  Closed for ten thousand years, only cultivating divine powers, Ding Yan asked himself if he still couldn't reach this step.

  However, after searching for a while, it was not entirely in vain. While browsing through these ancient books, Ding Yan discovered that the cultivation methods of the Wu and Confucian schools were very useful to him at present. The Wu school's method only required the power of the soul, while the Confucian school's method only required mental state and realm. Both of these, Ding Yan could learn and use as a trump card.

  Ding Yan estimated that with his current soul power, he should be able to use the divine abilities of both the Wu and Ru styles, and they would likely be roughly equal.

  "I had originally planned to go out and exchange for the elixir now, but since I discovered these two divine arts, Wu and Ru, I will naturally cultivate them first. With these two divine arts, in the future when I exchange for yuan stones, I will also have an additional guarantee." After a moment of contemplation, Ding Yan made his decision.

  Finally, Ding Yan picked up two ancient books from the pile of books.

  The Spring and Autumn of the Five Brush Strokes

  Another one is "Wu Yan Jue"

  After putting away the rest of the books, Ding Yan's mind sank into the two ancient volumes.

  Can't help but say, whether it's the Spring and Autumn Five Brushes or the Wu Yan Jue, they are both earth-shattering, unparalleled divine abilities. With Ding Yan's current realm, he could only understand the first move of each. Helpless, Ding Yan had no choice but to memorize these two divine abilities for now, and wait until his realm improves in the future before trying to comprehend them again.

  "Wu's first divine technique, I should be able to master it in just half a day. As for the Confucianism's first divine technique...I'll cultivate it later." Ding Yan furrowed his brow.

  The first formula of the Confucian's divine communication, he understood it, but to cultivate it, I'm afraid it will take a very long time. The difference in between is closely related to the differences between the two cultivation methods.

  The cultivation of witches requires soul power. The stronger the soul, the faster one can learn witchcraft.

  The divine power of Confucianism requires a state of mind, and the improvement of this state of mind is most directly achieved through the accumulation of time. Although Ding Yan's state of mind was sufficient to display the first style of the Spring and Autumn Five Pens' divine power, it lacked a kind of accumulation that is most important for the Confucian cultivation method.

  "First learn the first style of Wu Yan's magic, then go exchange for medicine." Ding Yan decided.

  His heart was calm, but a thrill ran through his soul. Gradually, all physical sensations, cultivation, and boundaries disappeared, leaving only the soul. The witch's cultivation method only emphasized the soul, which was very similar to the ghost fairy way. Ding Yan had already known this when he read ancient books. However, it wasn't until now that he fully understood the difference between the witch's way after completing his training.

  In the quietness of the spiritual world, perception is clearer than when possessing a physical body.

  Operating the Witch Flame Incantation, Ding Yan gradually gathered his soul power into the core, following the incantation's instructions, and began to attempt to condense the witch flame.

  Wu Yan Jue, divided into nine steps.

  They are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white and black nine kinds of flame.

  This flame is the real soul fire, with unparalleled power. Legend has it that when the strongest witch ancestor casts black flames, they can scorch space.

  A tiny bit of soul power, under the control of Wu Yan's spell, continuously gathered towards Ding Yan's soul core.

  Gradually, I don't know how long it has been.

  The soul's core flickered for a moment, and a cluster of crimson bone fire floated in the depths of the soul.

  Opening his eyes, a red flame flashed in the depths of Ding Yan's pupils. The cultivation of Wu Yan Jue had not encountered any obstacles, and it had only taken two hours to successfully cultivate the red flame.

  "Didn't expect it to be so easy to fix." Ding Yan stood up "Just don't know how powerful it is..."

  Wu's magical powers sparked Ding Yan's interest.

  This kind of supernatural power, Ding Yan had never come into contact with in his past life.

  With a thought, Ding Yan looked at the left wall of the stone room and launched an attack with the Flame Incantation technique from his memory. Red flames flashed again from the depths of his eyes, and a soul-burning sensation spread out. Suddenly, his soul was like a wave, and a terrifying pulling force centered on the bone fire wildly absorbed Ding Yan's soul power into it.

  In the blink of an eye, nearly half of Ding Yan's soul power, which was almost as strong as that of a Seventh Tribulation散仙, had been absorbed. A wave of weakness floated up to his heart. Before Ding Yan could even react.

  BOOM!!

  The bone fire burst open, a cluster of crimson flames spread out with Ding Yan as the core, and the entire stone room was directly engulfed by this flame. Along with it, the formation set up by Ding Yan outside also dissolved into nothingness.

  A crimson flame swept across the entire deserted island, countless black rocks were melted into gas...
