Chapter 1436: Chapter 574: Mixed Feelings of Gain [8000-word Mega Chapter Seeking Subscriptions]_2

Then he asked Zhou Chun for a few blank jade slips, left one cultivation technique, and the training methods for four kinds of divine skills and secret techniques, and included his cultivation insights and experiences.

After doing all this, the person sighed softly and said, “As for the personal belongings from when I was alive, they should be in the secret chamber under the ruins of this divine temple, but it’s hard to tell how many useful things are still left!”

At this point, the person looked steadfastly at Zhou Chun and said, “May I request a small favor from Taoist Friend Zhou? Could you help return the remains of myself and those comrades from back then to the Human Clan Territories and bury them in a place of scenic beauty?”

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Chun immediately nodded without hesitation and replied, “Of course! Senior True Person sacrificed himself for the great cause of our Human Clan. Since I have had the fortune to come to this place, it is only right that I return the senior’s remains to his homeland for burial!”

“Then I must trouble Taoist Friend!”

The ghost of the middle-aged man suddenly bowed to Zhou Chun, and without waiting for Zhou Chun to respond, his body was suddenly engulfed in dark flames, setting himself ablaze.

“Truly decisive! Is he really that tired of living, desiring an early release?”

Looking at the ashes left by the self-immolation of the middle-aged man’s ghost, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

He actually somewhat understood the other party’s mindset.

Since he did not follow the path of a ghost cultivator and only had a remnant soul left, yet had fought for a long time over thousands of years with the soul of an enemy from life, most likely the thought of continuing to live had long since left him, only his instincts not wanting his enemy’s soul to devour his own!

Now, with the help of Zhou Chun, he had finally gained the upper hand, regained control, and recovered his former memories. Naturally, he wanted to end everything actively while he was still clear-minded.

Otherwise, if he waited until his soul and body gradually began to recover nourished by the energy of Yin Fiend in this place, the unextinguished spiritual imprints of the Earth Hound Clan members within would surely revive, contending once more for control of the soul and body, plunging his consciousness back into the abyss!

Just understanding is one thing, for Zhou Chun could not dare to guarantee if he were in such a position, whether he could be as decisive as the other party.

He was always afraid of death!

After a moment of reflection, Zhou Chun did not hurry to search for the secret chamber underground of the divine temple but first looked at the information within the few jade slips in his hand, focusing mainly on the nascent soul formation experience.

“So that’s how it is. So the process of transforming elixir and forming an infant is like this? In that case, besides auxiliary treasures like the Infant Transformation Pill, I also need to gather some treasures that help overcome the Heart Demon Calamity!”

After finishing the Mystic Fiend True Person’s notes on nascent soul formation, Zhou Chun felt as though he had gained immensely, learning many detailed secrets.

For instance, the process of transforming elixir and forming an infant should not necessarily be done as quickly as possible. Some powerful forces in the cultivation world possess secret techniques that aid in forming an infant, often extending the process to enhance the success rate.

Also, the Heart Demon Calamity is not entirely without trace; cultivators should resolve past grievances and ensure a perfect state of mind before transforming elixir and forming an infant, which could make the power of the Heart Demon Calamity weaker.

Moreover, certain special spiritual objects of heaven and earth and divine ability arts can also reduce the power of the Heart Demon Calamity.

One must pass through the Heart Demon Calamity in one go and not just barely struggle through it.

Otherwise, if you exhaust yourself during the Heart Demon Calamity, you won’t be able to muster your full strength under the subsequent Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

Most of those golden core cultivators fallen to the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, except for a few with exceptionally poor fighting skills, failed because they barely struggled through the Heart Demon Calamity and could not give their all during the tribulation.

Such detailed content is beyond the knowledge of forces like the Zhou Family, which has never produced a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

These kinds of things would never be recorded in cultivation classics, which at most vaguely outline the process with little reference value.

For Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family, the value of such nascent soul formation insights surpasses even that of high-grade magical treasures.

After all, a high-grade magical treasure can only enhance the battle power of a golden core stage cultivator, whereas nascent soul formation insights give golden core stage cultivators the hope of transforming elixir and forming an infant!

With such profound gains from the nascent soul formation insights, Zhou Chun grew curious about the remaining jade slips recording the cultivation technique and divine ability arts, and immediately began to examine them one by one.

The cultivation technique was the primary technique practiced by Mystic Fiend True Person, named “Hundred Fiend Mystery Technique,” which in nature was somewhat similar to the “Golden Fiend Sword Scripture” practiced by Zhou Zhiqian, a sword cultivator and clan member of the Zhou Family. They both involve channeling evil qi into the body for cultivation, to enhance combat power and break through bottlenecks.

However, this way, such techniques place very high demands on the practitioner, as slight carelessness could lead to evil qi invading the heart, resulting in possession!

Upon reading the records of this technique, Zhou Chun seemed to understand why Mystic Fiend True Person’s divine soul could persist for so many years.

Because the counterpart likely tempered his body and divine soul with the energy of Yin Fiend during his lifetime, and being able to cultivate to the nascent soul stage with this technique also indicated he was someone of exceedingly resilient will.

To say this technique did come with a lot of Mystic Fiend True Person’s personal cultivation experiences and insights, it indeed seemed to be a good alternative technique.
