Chapter 164 The Creation Secret of the Five Yin True Lord
After all, it is better for one person to enjoy the treasure than for three people to share it equally.
The most important thing is that the secret immortal cave is of great importance. He does not intend to let the second person know the information inside alive, so as to avoid leaking secrets and bringing danger.
It can only be said that this person is ruthless and can be regarded as a hero.
"On the day of the full moon, the secret immortal cave can be opened. Now we just need to send someone to watch it. When the time comes, we need to make preparations early!"
Zheng Yi pondered in secret and thought silently.
...
After a thorough soul search, the souls of the three out-of-domain cultivators have become faintly white, ethereal and illusory, and confused.
They condensed there in silence, motionless, as if they would be annihilated in the air at any time.
Zheng Yi raised his hand, and the ghost-raising gourd emerged in the void. He opened his mouth and took the three souls in again.
In an instant, a ball of purple devil flame surged inside the gourd, directly wrapping up the souls of the three people. Under the burning of the hot devil fire, a trace of black gas was forged.
These are all impurities in the soul, including various impurities, memory fragments, and evil spirits.
As the spiritual fire continued to burn, the color of the three people's souls gradually faded and turned towards a transparent trend. Finally, the original human form disappeared and turned into three colorless soul gas balls, floating there quietly.
Compared with the initial size, it has shrunk by at least half.
But these are the essence of the soul of the foundation-building cultivator.
Especially the one in the center, which is almost one-third larger than the other two soul energy balls.
Suddenly, from the inside of the ghost-raising gourd, as if passing through layers of ghost space, a tree root like a tree that reaches the sky surged out from the depths of the gourd, directly piercing into the three pure colorless light balls, and sucking them quickly.
In the blink of an eye, these three pure soul gas balls were absorbed and completely disappeared.
Following the retracted tentacles, Zheng Yi's eyes went deep into the gourd, and his eyes finally fell on the soul-eating tree inside.
The spirit and soul of the three foundation-building monks were completely devoured by the strange tree in the core of the second-level hell space of the ghost-raising gourd.
After absorbing all the spirit and soul power of the three foundation-building monks, several soul fruits of different colors slowly began to grow on the bare and strange tree trunk.
This soul-eating tree was the skeleton man-eating tree that occupied the Yin-Yang acupoint deep in the Root Army Base before. After being transformed and nurtured by the ghost-raising gourd, it has gone a step further and become even more weird.
After successfully devouring the soul body and growing soul fruits, Zheng Yi felt as if something was brewing in it, but several fruits were not yet ripe and remained to be observed.
…
The headquarters of the Daluo Alliance.
The mountain gate of the Soul-Snatching Sect.
In the second-level core spiritual vein, in a secret practice chamber, Zheng Yi placed the storage bags of three foreign monks in front of him.
As foreign monks, the skills and fighting tactics practiced in the Xuanling Domain are very different from those in the Dayi Domain.
Moreover, when Zheng Yi was fighting with the dark man, he could clearly feel that his strength and methods were both extremely superior.
If they had not met Zheng Yi, with their methods, as long as they were a little more stable and smoothly took out the inheritance in the secret immortal cave, they would not encounter any danger at all.
After all, even Yi Qingzi, a cultivator like a venomous snake, was defeated by the three of them. Their methods and scheming were still extraordinary.
However, when searching the memory fragments of the three souls, Zheng Yi suddenly became very interested in the other party's practice.
In particular, the dark man's secret method of turning his life artifact into a spirit was extremely novel and powerful. If he fought against the same level, it would be a powerful trump card.
Before, the dark man had said that he had other things that interested Zheng Yi, but unfortunately he still didn't save his life.
Zheng Yi was too cruel and too fast, so he didn't have time to react and died quickly.
He directly used his soul power to erase the restrictions on it, and then the storage bag opened, and the things stored inside were displayed in front of Zheng Yi.
In addition to the necessary spirit stones, some precious mineral materials, and herbs, there were also some elixirs that Zheng Yi didn't know very well.
These should be unique elixirs belonging to the Xuanling Domain, and they can only be studied slowly.
In addition, what he valued most was the jade slip placed at the bottom, which should be the thing that the dark man kept at the bottom of the box.
From the order in which he placed it, it can be known that this thing has different meanings and is obviously extraordinary.
Put the other things in another storage bag and put them away, leaving only a few jade slips in front of him.
Zheng Yi picked up one at random, and his soul connected to it. Suddenly, a huge stream of information quickly merged into his mind.
His spirit was shocked and shook slightly.
He didn't expect that just one jade slip contained a lot of content.
Even with Zheng Yi's huge soul power, it took a whole day to integrate all the contents of the jade slips into his mind.
After a thorough review, Zheng Yi realized that this time he had gained so much that he felt like he had found a treasure.
The tall and thin man with peach blossom eyes and the short and fat monk were fine, but they carried two sets of secret techniques with them, and their cultivation methods were very different from those of Dayi Immortal Realm. Although they were of certain reference value to Zheng Yi, he did not fully value them.
What he really valued was the jade slip in the storage bag of the dark-skinned man in the Half-Step Purple Mansion Period, and the content in it made him overjoyed.
It turned out to be a set of inheritance of strange and unusual skills, from the foundation-building stage to the Nascent Soul stage, it was extremely detailed and complete, and it was a whole orderly inheritance of creation and refining methods.
The reason why it was called a strange and unusual skill was that the records in this jade slip were neither cultivation methods nor fighting secrets, nor even some ordinary cultivation methods, but the creation method of the Suotian Temple's spiritual transformation lineage.
The so-called creation is to create something out of nothing, and all things become spirits.
It is the essence of a major sect in the Suotian Temple.
In fact, Zheng Yi was just too lucky.
The dark man had an extraordinary origin, otherwise he would not have known the secrets of the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion. As a half-step purple mansion cultivator, he could take the last step at any time and step into the purple mansion. He was also considered to have a high status in the sect and could have been exposed to many secrets.
It was just that because he had high aspirations and accidentally found clues to the remains of the Secret Immortal Sect, he came to Dayi Domain to look for opportunities, in order to soar to the sky when he returned to the sect.
The jade slip on his body was also the opportunity when he got the clues to the Secret Immortal Cave in Dayi Fairyland, which came from an old predecessor of Suotian Temple.
Because of some things, the predecessor of Suotian Temple accidentally sat outside the mountain gate and left a personal inheritance before his death. The disciples of the lineage other than Suotian Temple could not find the cave at all, but it was accidentally obtained by the dark man.
He had never told any outsiders about this matter. It was his secret. It was also from that time that he came to Dayi Fairyland to investigate according to the clues and the location of the teleportation array passed by the predecessor of the sect. Later, he had several encounters with Yi Qingzi, and finally made him hate him.
Because the opportunity was not obtained until recently, and the dark-skinned man had been investigating the secret immortal cave, he himself was still at the stage of just trying out the secret art of creation on the jade slip.
Firstly, he was now half a step into the purple mansion, and the most important thing at the moment was to break through the purple mansion. Moreover, with his strength, as long as he was careful, he would not be afraid of anything else.
On the other hand, if he wanted to really get started with the jade slip of creation inheritance from the predecessors of the Locking Heaven Temple, the materials required were numerous and the burden was extremely heavy. The dark-skinned man was also planning to practice it as a trump card after obtaining the inheritance of the Secret Immortal Sect of Dayi Immortal Realm, undergoing the reincarnation of heaven and man, and returning to the Locking Heaven Temple.
By then, he would be able to shine in the sect, gain more say, and pave the way for his position in the sect in the future.
It can be said that the dark-skinned man had considered it very well, and he could attack or defend, and almost put himself in an unbeatable position.
Unfortunately, man's plans are not as good as God's plans, and in the end, everything he did became Zheng Yi's wedding dress.
Not only did he indirectly help him get rid of Yi Qingzi, but he also sent the complete information of the Secret Immortal Cave to Zheng Yi. Most importantly, he also attached a set of secret techniques from the foundation-building stage to the Nascent Soul stage, which was rarely seen in the Locking Heaven Temple sect, the method of spiritual creation.
"Creation Technique?"
"Five Yin Leather Horse Living Puppet Technique?!"
Before, when fighting with Zheng Yi, the dark man used the secret technique of spiritual creation, which borrowed some tricks from the creation technique passed down by the sect's predecessors.
As for the "Living Puppet Technique" and "Five Yin Leather Horse" recorded in it, because the required materials and resources are too huge, even the dark man has not tried it yet.
This is also the most important thing for Zheng Yi after studying the entire creation technique jade slip.
The creator of the creation technique, that is, the real owner of the opportunity obtained by the dark man, is called "Five Yin True Lord". His cultivation can only be regarded as the bottom in the Nascent Soul stage, but he is a very famous puppeteer.
The hundred arts of cultivating immortals can be passed down for thousands of years. Each of them has its own unique features. If they are studied to a deep level and used well, they can even burst out with great power.
This is the case with Wu Yin Zhenjun, who is considered to be the best among puppeteers. He used the "Spiritual Transformation Technique" secretly passed down in the Locking Heaven Temple and integrated it with his own mastery of puppetry. Finally, before he passed away, he left behind the "Creation Technique", the culmination of his life.
Unfortunately, due to some personal reasons, he passed away outside, his vitality dried up, and he was unable to return to the sect and put his life's inheritance into the sect's Dharma Hall.
So he placed a ban on his own cave and left behind the Creation Technique. Only the core disciples who practiced the magic power of the Locking Heaven Temple could open it. The dark man was such a lucky person.
The most important core inheritance of Wu Yin Zhenjun's "Creation Technique" is the three categories of transformation, spiritual enlightenment, and spiritual fusion, which can be divided into four categories: Five Yin Leather Horse, Five Ghosts Carrying Soul Sedan, Paradise God Chariot, and Heart Temple.
Among them, the "Five Yin Skin Horse Living Puppet Technique" is the most basic secret technique of the whole set of creation techniques. The following secret techniques are based on the secret technique of the "Five Yin Skin Horse", and are the creation methods that are upgraded step by step.
"Five Yin Skin Horse", to put it simply, is to make a skinned puppet with human or animal skin, refine it with Yin Qi, fill it with ghosts, and then make the puppet have spirits through unique transformation, enlightenment, and fusion of spirits, and turn it into a puppet creation with semi-life characteristics.
It is both a vehicle, a mount, and a secret technique for controlling puppets in battle.
In general, even in the Xuanling Domain, although the Suotian Temple lineage is not a notorious demon sect, it is actually some evil sects, both good and evil, which can be seen from the cultivation techniques within the sect.
When Wu Yin Zhenjun was alive, he was a well-known evil giant, so the "Creation Art" he passed down is also eerie and sinister. Practicing it requires two things: one is a corpse, and the other is a soul.
And the Soul Transformation and Spirit Enlightenment Secret Techniques of the Locking Heaven Temple, no matter what kind of cultivation method or steps, in the final analysis, all rely on the above two things.
"No wonder the dark man didn't practice the Creation Technique. He has been investigating the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion in Dayi Domain. The materials and refining of the Five Yin Leather Horse require a lot of energy and resources. He probably wanted to wait until the Secret Immortal Cave Mansion was completed, promoted to the Purple Mansion, and returned to the Locking Heaven Temple before starting to prepare. I didn't expect that I would get the advantage now."
Zheng Yi thought about it for a while, and understood what was going on, and said slowly.
He explored the jade slip and found that the refining process of the 'Five Yin Leather Horse Living Puppet Technique' was extremely complicated and tedious, and it also required a strong soul power as a foundation.
After all, the Five Yin True Lord was a famous puppeteer during his lifetime, famous for his puppet fighting method.
The inheritance of the puppet master lineage has always been known for its talent. The most basic requirement is outstanding spirit and soul. Otherwise, it is impossible to control the complex operation of puppets, and it is impossible to understand the method of puppet refining.
On the other hand, a large amount of materials are needed.
The materials needed are mainly skin membranes and souls. Among them, the skin of cultivators is the best, the skin of monsters is second, and the skin of mortals is the worst. A large amount of ghost spirits is also needed.
It is not easy to make these things, but it is not too difficult to say it is difficult.
If you catch up with a battle of immortal cultivation, the materials obtained can definitely make a "Five Yin Skin Horse". If you are not lucky, it is not so easy to reach a certain number by personal collection.
After all, even in the more cruel competition in the Demon Realm, the body of a cultivator is a rare material resource. Many magic cultivation sects can use it. It is not easy to get a large number of cultivators' bodies.
Not to mention a large number of ghost spirits.
In this regard, Zheng Yi has an innate advantage and no major problems. He can completely refine the ‘Five Yin Skin Horse’. When the number and refining techniques reach a certain level, he can try higher-level secret techniques, such as the ‘Five Ghosts Carrying Souls’, and the more advanced ‘Blissful Divine Chariot’ and ‘Mind Temple’.
Of course, the latter are extremely high-level creations, which Zheng Yi cannot try now. He will wait for an opportunity to slowly study them in the future.
