Chapter 3: The Eight Desolations' Slaughter of Immortals Technique
In the tomb of the immortal, the mysterious tattoo on the back of the Eight Desolate Savage Dragon disappeared quietly at some point, while a identical tattoo, only slightly smaller in size, appeared quietly on Zhao Rui's back.
This is a strange inheritance, after being separated for millions of years, the earth-shattering magic formula of an ancient great demon was obtained by an ordinary human.
This is probably something nobody could have anticipated.
Zhao Rui's body trembled with excitement, he was originally in a desperate situation, the road ahead was uncertain, but unexpectedly, the road turned and the hope of survival reappeared before his eyes!
Moreover, he also gained extraordinary powers beyond ordinary people by turning misfortune into good fortune. Perhaps one day, he can reach the realm of these ancient immortals and demons, summoning the wind and rain, and looking down on all living things with disdain!
Forcing himself to calm down, Zhao Rui discarded all distractions and began to cultivate the "Eight Desolations Slaying Immortal Technique". The time he had left was not much.
"The Eight Desolations Slaying Immortals Manual" is divided into five volumes, named: Seizing the Spirit, Breathing Life, Refining the Soul, Splitting the Body, and Slaying the Immortal.
Each volume records different cultivation techniques and the difficulty of cultivation is also different.
The further back you go, the more difficult the cultivation becomes; correspondingly, the further back you go, the stronger the cultivator's power becomes!
It can be said that one scroll is a boundary!
If divided, each realm is further divided into three stages: early, middle and late, corresponding to the three light diagrams.
"The Eight Desolations Slaying Immortals Manual" records five realms, consisting of fifteen light diagrams!
It's strange that except for the three light pictures of the Soul Stealing Volume, the other four volumes are all shrouded in a layer of fog, and can't be seen clearly.
Zhao Rui didn't think much and directly started with the first picture of Guangtu's opening outline.
It is called seizing the spirit, which means seizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, introducing it into the body, using it for oneself, eliminating the turbid air from the body, and enhancing one's own cultivation.
In fact, the spirit of heaven and earth is present in any cultivation method, and cultivators also rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation. However, the "Eight Desolations Slaying Immortals Manual" stands out from the rest and is different from the others.
Generally, the Taoist school of thought emphasizes harmony between heaven and humanity, coexisting in peace. Therefore, a place with abundant spiritual energy will attract many Taoist practitioners who gather to cultivate themselves, and they won't interfere with each other much.
But the creator of "Ba Huang Luoxian Jue", Ba Huang Man Long, is an ancient great demon born in extremely harsh environments. Through countless bloody killings and frantic plundering, he managed to survive and grow stronger, with only the concept of dominance in his heart, completely devoid of coexistence.
This idea is also revealed in the Du Ling Juan of "Ba Huang Lüe Xian Jue".
Once the cultivation of this technique begins, the cultivator will use an extremely overbearing method to plunder and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, leaving no room for other cultivators to compete. It is precisely because of this that those who cultivate the "Eight Desolations Devouring Immortals Technique" can increase their strength at a shocking speed, which is also something that other cultivators cannot compare with!
Below the title, a naked and horned demon is depicted, similar to the Eight Trigrams Dragon. The demon has its waist twisted, hands clasped together, pointing towards the sky, making strange movements. Black dots indicate acupoints on its body, thick black lines outline the meridians, red dotted lines and arrows show the direction of internal energy flow, with dense text explanations alongside.
Zhao Rui was completely ignorant of the acupoints and couldn't tell the difference between the ancient demon's meridians and his own. He simply compared the demons in the diagram with himself, imagining the path of true energy marked by the red line running through his body, while carefully experiencing the text explanations on the diagram, unknowingly becoming deeply engrossed.
It was unexpected that this kind of chaotic cultivation method actually worked. Before long, he discovered that the spiritual energy in the cemetery came from all directions, penetrating his skin, seeping into his muscles, entering his meridians, and finally flowing into his dantian. After repeated refinement in the dantian, a thread of misty true energy was formed, and slowly these misty energies began to condense bit by bit, eventually forming a warm current as thin as a silk thread. Following the guidance of the red arrow on the light chart, it began to flow gently within his body.
Although this warm current was extremely weak, it had an immeasurable effect on Zhao Rui, whose body had already been frozen stiff. He felt that his body seemed to have a slightly warmer sign, and the cold air in the Xianmo Cemetery seemed not so piercing!
Zhao Rui was both shocked and delighted. Originally, he was still worried that the "Ba Huang Lüe Xian Jue" would be too profound and difficult to cultivate, and the progress would be extremely slow. However, judging from the current situation, this worry was completely unnecessary. Living to leave the Xian Mo Cemetery was no longer an unattainable fantasy!
He followed the guidance of the light diagram, leading the true energy in his body to slowly flow through the meridians.
The true energy starts from the Dan Tian, goes along the meridians to the eyebrow center, stays at the eyebrow center for a while, then flows along the meridians to the soles of the feet, and finally returns to the Dan Tian, completing one cycle.
Each cycle is called a week, and every time the true energy runs through a week, it will become slightly stronger, and the body will also warm up a bit.
As the true energy continued to flow and expand, Zhao Rui's limbs, which had been frozen stiff, gradually regained their sensation. His body temperature slowly rose, and the icicles on his clothes began to melt into water droplets that fell continuously onto the ground.
He felt warm all over, despite the cold air outside, he was like bathing in a hot spring, his whole body relaxed.
Zhao Rui entered a state of complete absorption, his mind empty except for the first light diagram of the "Ba Huang Luan Xian Jue".
The true Qi in the body does not need to be driven intentionally at this time, but automatically circulates through the meridians in the limbs and hundred skeletons.
Time slowly passed by, and the spiritual energy pouring into Zhao Rui became faster and more abundant, flowing endlessly.
As the spiritual energy poured in, Zhao Rui's true energy grew stronger and his circulation speed accelerated. His body began to heat up, his skin burning hot, and the ice crystals on his clothes no longer melted into water droplets but directly turned into steam, rising upwards in a wisp of vapor.
From a distance, Zhao Rui seemed to be enveloped in a mass of white mist.
Under the impetus of the powerful true energy, almost no time was spent, and the water on his clothes was completely evaporated. However, the spiritual energy in the Xianmo Cemetery continued to pour in, the true energy inside his body continued to strengthen and compress the meridians, and his body temperature continued to rise!
Zhao Rui suddenly woke up and realized that the situation was not good, he began to try to slow down the absorption speed of the spiritual energy, controlling the true energy in his body. However, his efforts did not have much effect, everything had completely lost control!
The human meridian is like a river, and the true energy is like the flowing water in the river. The capacity of the river is not infinite, but has a certain limit. This limit is precisely one of the bottlenecks that restricts the cultivator.
Generally speaking, the larger the capacity of the meridians, the fewer difficulties one will encounter during cultivation, and the faster the speed of cultivation will be later on. Otherwise, cultivators must expend a great deal of effort to change their meridians, wash their marrow, and expand their meridians, which is an extremely troublesome and time-consuming task for any cultivator!
Zhao Rui was just an ordinary person, with a very ordinary talent. He should have had no chance of practicing the Tao, and even if he tried to practice the most common techniques, his meridians would not be able to withstand it. However, now he is actually practicing the shocking ancient demonic technique left behind by the ancient demons!
It is necessary to know that the Eight Desolations Devastating Immortals Technique is a very overbearing and extremely dangerous cultivation technique.
Although cultivating this technique can rapidly increase one's strength at a stunning speed, apart from ancient demons with extraordinary innate talents like the Eight Desolates Savage Dragon, ordinary humans' physical constitution fundamentally cannot withstand the massive pressure brought by the violent surge of true energy to their meridians and flesh during cultivation!
It can be said that the "Ba Huang Luoxian Jue" is a powerful mantra specifically for the cultivation of demons and gods. Even if a human cultivator has excellent qualifications, as long as they cultivate the "Ba Huang Luoxian Jue", they will still be burst open by the strong true energy and explode to death!
How can someone as ordinary as Zhao Rui bear it?
