NOVPUBIn the secret room of the Spirit Tree Realm, it took the principal and his avatar over a month just to read through once.
Among them, techniques such as "The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth" and "The Secret of Only I Through the Ages" mostly matched the knowledge Li Fan had acquired in the Illusory Realm almost exactly.
The depiction in the Illusory Realm was even somewhat rudimentary.
Take "The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth," for example. In the Illusory Realm, this was merely a simple Dual Cultivational Law. Once the Great Calamity, where cultivation laws were incompatible, arrived, the technique’s role in rapidly increasing cultivation base was also neutralized.
But in reality, besides Dual Cultivation, this technique had another more important and more mystical purpose.
That was to lock onto a target and forcibly share traits such as fate, cultivation speed, and even comprehension with the other party.
So-called life shared with Heaven and Earth.
For a true peerless genius, this technique would naturally be superfluous. But for someone like Li Fan, it was undeniably a Mysterious Skill.
This was only the Divine Technique available at the initial level of "The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth."
When cultivated to a deeper level, as the name of the technique suggests, the target that got locked on could even extend to include Heaven and Earth.
"With the body of a mortal, to balance the authority of Heaven and Earth..."
"Indeed, a genuine legacy of the Immortal Law."
"The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth" had an extremely high upper limit; it even vaguely indicated that it could still be used after ascending to the Immortal World.
The only fatal flaw was...
The locked target would sense the cultivator of the technique.
As the saying goes, "to engage in conquest" indeed.
Just this point alone greatly diminished the importance of this technique in Li Fan’s heart.
For Li Fan, who plans meticulously and likes to calculate in the dark, exposing himself to another person at all times was definitely not a wise act.
The only probable greatest use he could think of now was to capture a peerless genius and foster them.
Then, by force, share equality with them, enhancing his own comprehension, aptitude, and fate, etc.
Li Fan reviewed "The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth" and then quickly glanced at "The Secret of Only I Through the Ages."
"Sister Zhao actually trusts me enough to entrust me with this technique for achieving the Dao..."
After contemplating for a moment, Li Fan suddenly realized.
One could say that, among all these Techniques, "The Secret of Only I Through the Ages" is the least valuable.
Because in terms of the Unity of Thousands, it had already been claimed by Zhao Ruoxi.
There was no path forward; even during the process of cultivating these arts, it was still possible to be completely perceived by Sister Zhao...
Li Fan decisively sealed it and set it aside.
After skimming through several techniques, Li Fan then focused his attention on the two techniques he had seen for the first time.
"The Secret Manual of Forgetting" and "Three-Danger Ghost God Dark Record."
"The previous techniques came from a giant man among the Twelve Law Kings, named Sikong Lin."
"As for these techniques..."
The faces of the twelve uniquely characterized cultivators of the Mystic Sky Sect flashed through Li Fan’s consciousness one by one.
Soon, Li Fan, based on the style of the techniques, identified the likely source.
"Sun Xingwang."
That’s because the aura exuded by these two techniques was simply too peculiar.
Take "The Secret Manual of Forgetting," for instance. This technique is somewhat similar to the abilities of the former King of Mystic Sky.
They both possess a divine power akin to "word following law."
The difference lies in that the "word" of Xuan Yuanhong, the Heaven King, affects himself.
Like the "Body Giant Power," "Following Heavenly Dao," and so on.
Whereas "The Secret Manual of Forgetting" affects all other external things.
When cultivated to profound depths, it is even possible to reshape the entire world according to one’s own thoughts through the incantations of the technique.
For example, in one instance from the technique:
The sign of minor achievement in the Secret Manual of Forgetting is the creation of a nonexistent person out of thin air through incantations.
As the setting for this person became increasingly detailed, this character truly came into existence.
And acted according to the established rules.
Moreover, they had no perception of the creator behind them.
The wonder of "The Manual of Forgetting" made Li Fan sigh in amazement over and over again. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
However, just like "The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth," "The Manual of Forgetting" also had a powerful side effect.
That was every hundred years, the practitioner of the technique would lose all memories except for the content of "The Manual of Forgetting."
And any written records or hints left behind would be actively ignored by the practitioner.
In other words, even if one mastered "The Manual of Forgetting" to the highest realm, the entire world could be their creation.
Yet, the practitioner of the technique would know nothing about it.
Always embarking on a new life every hundred years.
…
"The one who invented ’The Manual of Forgetting’ must be a shocking talent as well,"
Li Fan remarked softly, then turned his gaze towards the last technique.
"Three-Danger Ghost God Dark Record."
This technique was the most unique.
It was a summoning technique.
Not summoning something from another world, but the [Ghosts] and [Gods] within one’s own body.
According to the description of the technique, every person is born with thoughts that arise endlessly.
These thoughts are like the waves upon the sea.
Most are fleeting.
But it is these waves that form the vast ocean called [Human].
If every arising thought is preserved and nurtured day and night, growing in strength,
then billions of the essence of thoughts will be born within one’s spirit consciousness.
Shaping themselves according to the nature and content of the thoughts, [Ghosts] and [Gods].
The so-called three dangers refer to these three entities: human, ghosts, and gods.
Since these ghost-gods originate from within, the three are all interconnected.
And as the [Human] grows stronger, the power of the [Ghosts] and [Gods] will also expand exponentially.
With a single thought released, it is almost as if the netherworld has reappeared in the mortal realm.
Darkness envelops, divine souls rampage.
With deliberate indulgence, destroying an entire world with a single thought, turning all other living beings into one’s own ghosts and gods, is no difficult task.
This "Three-Danger Ghost God Dark Record" doesn’t have any particularly strong side effects.
If there really is one to be mentioned, it would probably be the constant, differing whispers of countless ghost-gods within the body, the only negative factor.
If one’s mind is not strong enough, they could truly drive themselves mad.
And even with the most resilient will, facing the endless chattering of billions of ghost-gods day and night, there will always come a day when one cannot bear it any longer.
At that time, the practitioner of this technique will lose control.
Unleashing billions of ghost-gods to destroy the world.
However, when paired with "The Manual of Forgetting," "Three-Danger Ghost God Dark Record" has an unexpected effect.
The removal of memories every hundred years clears away the accumulation of negative emotions brought by the billions of ghost-gods.
But the billions of ghost-gods themselves do not disappear.
Even if one cannot remember the technique "Three-Danger Ghost God Dark Record," the nurturing of ghost-god thoughts has become an innate ability of the body.
In this way, with the passage of time, one’s strength will continue to grow.
"However, I remember Sun Xingwang once said that there are other unexpected points of rejection when cultivating these two techniques together,"
"It’s not as wonderful as one would imagine."
