Chapter 960: Chapter 486 Finger of Time_2

Chen Mu reached out to take it.

On the demon skin was a strange text, a kind of script indescribable in words, something he had never seen before. However, upon seeing this text, he immediately comprehended its meaning, giving an inexplicable mysterious feeling.

As he examined the contents closely according to the text, Chen Mu’s expression shifted.

For a long while.

He tossed the demon skin back to Mo Zun, saying: “This is indeed an illicit path, an evil and harmful secret method, beneficial to none.”

“Hmm.”

Mo Zun nodded slightly after hearing this and put the roll of demon skin into his pouch.

The other Celestial Humans were also curious about the contents on the demon skin, but hearing even Chen Mu describe it as an illicit path and harmful secret technique quickly snuffed out their curiosity.

Not everything in the Great Wilderness is a treasure; some things are useless and harmful, like the Corpse Refinement Art of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, rumored to originate from a secret technique in the Great Wilderness.

Such things should not be spread in the world, and indeed offer no help to the Martial Arts.

They, as dignified Celestial Humans, top masters of the world, naturally disregarded evil and deceptive paths.

Over here.

After Chen Mu threw the demon skin back to Mo Zun, he shook his head slightly in his heart.

The Great Wilderness secret art recorded on the demon skin was indeed unexpected to him, but it was indeed an illicit path.

Its name was the Great Soul-Splitting Technique!

The content was a secret technique to create a ’Soul-Splitting Puppet.’

First, the practitioner of this technique must split their own Soul Heart, at least by a third, then refine the split Soul Heart with secret arts, and inject it into the body of a newly born infant, the sole condition being it must be of their own bloodline.

Then slowly nurture and grow the infant, allowing it to become a Soul-Splitting Puppet!

This Soul-Splitting Puppet had two major effects. First, infused with one’s own Soul Heart and guided personally, it grows rapidly, reaching a high Realm in a short time, essentially becoming an external Avatar.

Second, if the original body dies, the Soul Heart within the Soul-Splitting Puppet will gradually awaken, equating to having a second life!

The reason Chen Mu deemed it an illicit path and harmful secret method was also within.

First, the seizure of an infant’s body and refining one’s bloodline into a half-human, half-tool thing is against ethical principles; second, once the Soul Heart is split, it severely impacts oneself, taking decades to recover.

In a sense.

This secret method bears similarity to Ji Yongzhao’s Soul Fusion and Body Seizure Technique, except that Ji Yongzhao’s method seizes the formed body of another, while this method resembles ’Soul Possession’ of one’s offspring.

Of course, whether it’s the Soul Fusion and Body Seizure Technique or the Great Soul-Splitting Technique, both have significant limitations, needing at least to reach the Blood Exchange Realm to solidify the Soul Heart before barely attempting it, with a high failure rate.

One wrong step leads to immediate death of both body and soul.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mu again shook his head internally; this secret method held no meaning for him, as he neither needed it for survival nor to prolong life; the only takeaway was the usage of Soul Heart within, for in the Da Xuan World, exploration into the Power of the Soul Heart was sorely lacking.

After all, only those in the Blood Exchange Realm possessed complete Power of the Soul Heart, initially capable of handling the Soul Heart.

At this moment.

Many Celestial Humans at the Peak of Kunlun Mountain were continuously discussing aspects of the Soul Heart, and Chen Mu joined in from time to time, exchanging words, sometimes causing reflection, sometimes enlightenment.

Thus, roughly an hour passed, and the voices of discussion gradually ceased.

When the discussion quieted, all eyes turned to one side of the crowd, to the figure draped in a long Daoist robe, looking ordinary with a simple hairstyle and Daoist crown, who was the final member of The Five Unsurpassables — Master Xuantian!

Before Chen Mu’s emergence, the debate over whether Master Xuantian was the world’s number one was never-ending. However, no one dared to rank The Five Unsurpassables or bestow the title of world number one upon Master Xuantian, hence he was only acknowledged as one of the top three in current strength. Still, many considered him the strongest in the world.

Of course.

This was all before Chen Mu’s emergence.

Now, after Chen Mu swept through the Capital City, ascended Kunlun, and defeated Sword Venerable, Heavenly Blade, and others, all retreated before Chen Mu, proving to be no match. Mo Zun even acknowledged defeat without a fight against Chen Mu. Now, with only Master Xuantian remaining, few believed he could rival Chen Mu. But The Five Unsurpassables were not just supreme in strength; each forged different paths at the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

Now, Gongyang Yu, Gu Xiaochen, and others paved roads for the Martial Arts or laid foundations for the Way of the Blade, naturally drawing hopeful gazes upon Master Xuantian, eager to know what new path he carved.

At this moment.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Master Xuantian remained calm, stepping forward and looking at Chen Mu, speaking with some reflection: “Years ago, I heard of your name from Brother Calculator, and then sensed that you might reach the Martial Arts peak. I thought we’d have the chance to discuss martial theories in the future, but I never imagined it would arrive so swiftly. In just a few years, you’ve established yourself at the Peak of Kunlun Mountain.”
