Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 983 - 478: The Development of the Seven-Colored Life Chart and Li Changsheng’s Path of Cultivation (2)
The one who replied was Mo Hu Mang, a rather active person on the forum.
His tone was quite sentimental.
Apparently, he had previously taken a wrong path, which delayed his cultivation for a considerable time.
Fortunately, it’s not too late to change now.
However, many senior cultivators, even if aware, have wasted so much time that change is no longer possible for them.
"The power of the Life Chart is truly incredible."
"To be honest, if it weren’t for Lord Alliance Leader, I would have assumed I’ve awakened some Spirit Body."
"Haha, people indeed consider some cultivators with special talents as having awakened Spirit Bodies, but if they truly were Spirit Bodies, why can’t they be inherited by the next generation?"
"Exactly, only the concept of Life Charts can explain this phenomenon. It is precisely because it is a Life Chart that the awakening of a Spirit Body is random."
"However, there are some bloodline families within the Great Xuan Dynasty whose powerful bloodlines almost always pass down through generations, somewhat similar to the power of Life Charts."
"No, no, no, the power of the bloodline and the power of Life Charts are different; bloodline power is fixed and almost impossible to evolve, while the power of the Life Chart can continuously evolve, which is the biggest difference."
"Indeed, those of us who acquire Life Charts are special and cannot be replicated."
"And that’s why Lord Alliance Leader invited us."
The cultivators of the Mixed Yuan Alliance buzzed with discussions.
Each of them was very grateful to the Talisman Daoist.
After all, without this mysterious senior, they wouldn’t have known the unique aspects of themselves.
There’s a high probability they would have spent their lives in a daze and thus completely wasted their Life Charts.
"Is it necessary to find a cultivation path suited to one’s Life Chart?"
"Only by finding this path can cultivation be done with half the effort yet double the results."
At this time, Li Changsheng also carefully read the content of this post, and seeing the replies from many Dao friends, he felt deeply enlightened and very sentimental inside.
He also knew that he had a seven-colored Life Chart and Longevity Vision.
He was born with an endless lifespan, considered as having the same longevity as the heavens.
If the Great Xuan Dynasty was stable, he could naturally spend tens of thousands, or even millions, of years slowly cultivating to reach the top tiers of this world.
Unfortunately, demons might not give him that much time for cultivation.
If some powerful demon were to attack the city he resides in, it would likely result in his death with no means of resistance.
Hence, he wished to quickly acquire some means to protect his path.
Only in this way could he survive in a perilous environment.
"Perhaps what suits me best isn’t any orthodox cultivation method, but an evil cultivation method."
Li Changsheng clenched his fist.
In the realm of the Lingxu, there are three types of cultivation techniques: orthodox cultivation methods, which most people practice; generally having no significant flaws, stable, and unlikely to lead to demonic possession; however, the drawback is the slow cultivation speed.
Demonic cultivation methods, rumored to be spread deliberately by demons, if practiced, improvements are swift, advancing rapidly, but prone to turning demonic, which transforms the cultivator into a demon; this type of method is strictly prohibited from being spread by the Great Xuan Dynasty; hiding it results in certain death and even the annihilation of nine clans.
Evil cultivation methods lie between orthodox and demonic cultivation; possessing the rapid improvement characteristic of demonic methods, yet without the risk of turning demonic; the only flaw is the tremendous side effects they contain.
For instance, the "Sunflower Scripture," reportedly enabling the cultivation of lunar power, but when cultivated to high levels, the moon’s power infuses the entire body, causing men to turn into women, becoming hermaphroditic eventually.
A Great Xuan Dynasty Integration Great Power reportedly practiced this evil cultivation method; naturally, such side effects are completely acceptable to those pursuing power.
Then there’s the "Myriad Poison Heart Sutra," requiring the devouring of myriad poisons, cultivating into a Myriad Poison Body; but before successful cultivation, one must endure the heart-piercing pain of the myriad poisons, akin to millions of ants biting.
Most who practice this method can’t withstand the agony of the Myriad Poison Heart Sutra and die painfully; it truly is an extremely wicked method.
Yet despite this, these evil cultivation methods with numerous side effects are still permitted for circulation by the Great Xuan Dynasty.
After all, when facing the threat of demons, what do mere side effects count for?
The focus for cultivators is to unleash unimaginable power at critical moments.
"There are countless evil cultivation methods; not every evil method suits me."
"My Life Chart is Longevity Vision, possessing an endless lifespan."
"So the most suitable cultivation method would naturally be those evil methods that harm lifespan."
"For other cultivators, practicing evil methods that harm lifespan is purely suicidal."
"But for me, it’s the best possible method and truly complementary."
Li Changsheng clenched his fist, feeling very excited inside.
He believes he has found his path to future cultivation; to quickly improve his cultivation and grasp immense power, practicing evil cultivation methods is the best option.
If he can find a suitable evil cultivation method, he can surely advance his cultivation a thousand miles in a day.
In fact, he has already found a similar cultivation method.
On the forum, in addition to selling various magical treasures and elixirs, some friends from the Mixed Yuan Alliance are indeed selling cultivation techniques, as selling cultivation techniques is extremely profitable.
Anyway, for these friends of the Mixed Yuan Alliance, obtaining enough cultivation resources is most important.
What matter is it to sell some cultivation techniques?
Moreover, when it comes to evil cultivation methods, it matters even less.
Even if given to others, others may not necessarily choose to practice them.
"The evil cultivation method Qianyuan Blood-burning Technique."
Li Changsheng touched his chin; he had already set his mind on this method as his main cultivation technique.
This is a despised evil method in the cultivation realm; its principle of cultivation is burning innate lifespan to break through realms.
For low realm cultivators with fabricated spirit roots, initially, this method seems to promote lifespan growth through realm advancement, but when reaching a certain realm, the innate lifespan consumed for further breakthrough becomes astronomical, often leading to premature death, and few cultivators can rely on it to promote to the Golden Core Realm.
Yet in his case, this cultivation technique is most suited.
For he lacks lifespan the least.
If he could expend a large amount of lifespan to advance his cultivation, it would simply be the most advantageous deal.
"There’s also the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique."
"Once this method is activated, it burns the entire body’s lifespan, unleashing sevenfold combat power."
"However, if applied, the cultivator is almost certainly doomed."
"But for me, lifespan is endless, allowing constant operation of this method."
"It’s akin to being in a constant state of sevenfold burst of power."
Li Changsheng felt very excited.
He initially thought his combat means were scarce, lacking combat power.
However, if he practiced the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, even an ordinary aptitude cultivator could resist a genius cultivator.
"The most terrifying is still the Life-exchange Technique."
"This is a divine technique that exchanges life for life."
"You can trade your lifespan for another’s lifespan."
"To regular cultivators, this is simply a trivial divine technique."
"Because exchanging a hundred years of one’s lifespan only trades for another’s one-year lifespan."
"Even if one’s lifespan is exhausted, it’s likely ineffective against the enemy."
"But I have endless lifespan."
"Even if the opponent is a millenium-lifespan monster, I can use a million years of lifespan to ensure their death."
"This is certainly the ultimate trump card, life for life."
"Even the lifespan of those demons cannot surpass mine."
Li Changsheng clenched his fist.
He felt that this divine technique from the evil dao was truly his innate divine power.
Once mastered, he would be invincible in the same realm.
Even the most outstanding geniuses wouldn’t dare exchange lives with him.
Even those cultivators with higher cultivation could still fall prey to him in ignorance.
Of course, this technique still requires hitting the enemy for it to be effective.
If the enemy reacts promptly, this divine technique may not hit the opponent.
So it’s not a guaranteed means and still carries some drawbacks.
"It’s indeed necessary to find a cultivation path suited to one’s Life Chart."
"The path most suited to my Life Chart is naturally the path of the evil dao, practicing evil cultivation techniques."
Li Changsheng felt very excited.
He also found one Dao friend selling these evil cultivation methods; the friend claims to be the Greedy Eater Daoist, adding him as a friend, and the friend’s name seems to be Shi Ping’an.
