Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 578 - 183: Receiving the Inheritance, Attacking on Multiple Fronts

The three diagrams are:

Corresponding to the "Evergreen Technique" is "A Thought Between Water and Clouds";

Corresponding to the "Withering and Flourishing Skill" is "Hundred Ghosts Burial Map";

Corresponding to the "Willow Return Technique" is "Long Pavilion Evening Guest Painting".

Li Yuan looked for a while; he himself had personally drawn Visualization Images before, so he naturally had quite the insight facing these diagrams.

"A Thought Between Water and Clouds, the tree borrows life from the water, thus it remains evergreen, so the temperament should be peaceful, smooth, and reserved."

"Hundred Ghosts Burial Map depicts a chaotic burial site. In these burial grounds, there are numerous coffins and straw mats, some coffins even exposed halfway, some straw mats have been dug open by red-eyed hungry dogs...

In some dark corners, arms are surprisingly protruding from the ground, as if left outside in a hurried burial, or as if the dead have resurrected and stretched out their hands from underground.

This diagram is bizarre beyond measure, yet it embodies withering and flourishing.

Withering symbolizes death; flourishing symbolizes resurrection.

Because they have died, they desperately desire to live.

It is about living through death, feeling a strong spiritual power from it, and then transforming it into techniques?

Therefore, it’s normal for cultivators to carry an aura of destruction and an extreme, even contradictory nature.

In Qing Hancheng, merging another personality in a swallowing manner is not inappropriate, because both personalities are inherently extreme; if you don’t swallow me, I’ll swallow you..."

"The Long Pavilion Evening Guest, this guest may be coming or leaving; the diagram doesn’t clarify.

Only the sunset beneath, the willow trees swaying..."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I see.

Whether they come or go, it doesn’t matter.

What matters is coming and going as one pleases, like the wind in the long willow, leaving yet returning.

Yet regardless of staying or leaving, ultimately they are guests.

As guests, they are destined to travel far."

The three diagrams and some insights within, along with the secret cultivation methods of the Divine Wood Hall, spanning from Ninth Grade to Fourth Grade, and even this small room, were gifts sent to him by Qing Hancheng.

However, Qing Hancheng did not anticipate Li Yuan could so easily transform into his likeness and enter this place.

"These three diagrams and these cultivation methods might be of no use to me, but they should be hugely beneficial for Ping’an, Huayin, Yaojue, and Shuixiang.

It’s just that I need to explain the dangers to them, make sure they don’t continue beyond the Fourth Grade.

But then again, since I’ve discovered the flaws of the cultivation skill, can’t I compensate for them?

In theory, the flaw of this cultivation technique stems from the imbalance between spiritual and physical.

I just need to enhance the strength of the Ancestral Talisman, enabling it to assimilate the power of Shadow Blood, thereby reaching a new balance."

Li Yuan muttered and pondered, aiming to solve the flaw of this cultivation skill and transform it into a harmless one.

"However, every Ancestral Talisman inherently contains a fixed number of three Talisman Seeds, and it’s impossible to increase the strength...

Because Shadow Blood is activated by the Ancestral Talisman, and any external spiritual force cannot infiltrate this balanced system.

For someone like me, obtaining an Ancestral Talisman with no upper limit on Talisman Seeds was pure luck."

"But... why did I obtain an Ancestral Talisman with no upper limit on Talisman Seeds?

Is it because... I used the poems from before my traversal?"

Li Yuan sharply grasped a key point.

Where it seemed impossible for mortals, there might be hidden great secrets.

Faced with the vast world and mysterious space-time, Li Yuan constantly bows humbly, never arrogantly assuming that his original thoughts must be correct.

Poetry brought variation, this seemingly bizarre idea might indeed be crucial.

"These poems seem merely words, but in reality, they’re spiritual power from my world; this cross-border spiritual force underwent mutation, hence the anomaly occurred?"

"That’s it.

Those cultivating my skills only saw the diagram, not the poems behind them, so they went insane.

But if they saw my poems and from the start used them to ponder and visualize...

What would the outcome be then?"

Li Yuan suddenly felt great curiosity.

He must attempt it.

The testing ground is on the Cloud Mountain Path; anyway, within eleven or twelve years, preliminary results should be achievable, allowing him to observe whether new disciples reaching Sixth Grade would go insane.

Nonetheless, when he created those three Visualization Images, he employed numerous poems; Li Yuan decided to write down all the poems he had used before as this school’s secret Supreme Heart Skill.

If fortunate, maybe in fifteen or sixteen years, a Fifth Grade might be born.

Once a Fifth Grade is born, Li Yuan can confirm whether his judgment is correct.

If it’s correct...

Li Yuan couldn’t help but display joy on his face.

Yet, he didn’t act immediately but instead recorded this plan in his notebook silently, planning to execute it the next time he returns.

Currently, Li Yuan sat cross-legged in the very core of the Divine Wood Hall, feeling the transmission and convergence of the vigorous blood energy from below.

If Li Yuan hadn’t acquired "Fire", such an environment would have been enough to "satisfy" him, just closing off for several years wouldn’t justify this Fourth Grade Meat Field.

But now, he was truly indifferent to the Fourth Grade Meat Field.

He was a moving Fifth Grade Meat Field himself; the blood energy wasn’t lacking.

What he lacked was the strength of thought, the strength of spirit, and thus more Talisman Seeds were needed.

The room was serene, everything placed seemed extraordinary.

Whether the desk, the bookshelf, the bed, the teacup, everything contained effects aiding cultivation, clearing the heart and soothing the mind; these were treasures collected by Qing Hancheng.
