Ch. 83

Zhao Xiaoyun was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Cousin, these so-called 'consequences' what do they ..."

There was some inexplicable colour in Ji Yuenian's eyes as he said softly, "I have the blood of the Tong Xuan Heart Ghost, and I am naturally proficient in some extremely complicated and profound ghost origin spells, among which there is a very demanding ghost origin spell."

After saying that, he flipped his palm lightly, and a jet-black yin energy coiled around his palm, condensing into a strange black jade slip.

Zhao Xiaoyun stepped forward to take the jade slip, and slowly injected his consciousness into it.

After a while, he raised his head, a bit hesitant.

Ji Yuenian said in a soft voice, "This real mantra is called the Ghost Transformation True Incantation. After cultivating it, it can turn the Xuan Sea energy in your body into pure ghost energy, raising your Heart Fire sequence by two virtual levels, and it can even transform between Xuan Qi to Ghost Qi, which is extremely miraculous."

The Ghost Qi was the lowest level of Yin Qi, and it could be compared with the heaven and earth Yin Qi energy in Ji Yuenian's blood.

However, the most important thing about this true mantra was that it raised two levels of Heart Fire.

Zhao Xiaoyun had a Grade 7 Heart Fire Sequence, and his aptitude was very ordinary. It would take him more than a decade of hard work to even break into the True Dao Realm, and there was no possibility of him ever reaching the realms above it.

However, if his Heart Fire Rank was raised by two levels to the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, then Zhao Xiaoyun's aptitude would immediately top the Luoxia Mountain Range, and he would become the best among hundreds of thousands of Outer Sect disciples and Handyman disciples. Which was outstanding enough to rank among the top 300!

In that entrance examination, apart from Ji Yuenian and Yu Yan who had a Grade 4 Heart Fire Sequence, there were only less than ten people who a Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence. Even if one scoured the entire Luoxia Mountains, there were only a few hundred people with the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence.

The difficult look on Zhao Xiaoyun's face became more and more intense. After about a stick of incense, he looked up at the black-robed boy with fluttering sleeves, and said hesitantly, "Cousin, in your opinion, what should I do?"

Ji Yuenian didn't look back, but said softly, "No matter what choice you make, there are pros and cons. You just need to follow your heart."

If he didn't cultivate this true mantra, with Zhao Xiaoyun's mediocre aptitude, even if he could break into the True Dao Realm, and add 800 years to his life, he would still only be a star among countless others, and he would not have a chance to enter the Divine Sea Realm.

But if he cultivated Ghost Transformation True Incantation, he could increase two levels of Heart Fire, but the consequences were too terrible. Not only would his human body gradually transform into a ghost body, but there were many taboos that came along with it.

The most important thing was that ordinary ghosts were cast aside by living beings. Once they cultivated to higher realm with this true mantra, they would completely turn into half-human, half-ghost, and Zhao Xiaoyun could no longer stay in Taiyu Holy Sect. He could only stay in wilderness all his life.

Its advantages were also extremely obvious. The high qualification of the Grade 5 Heart Fire Sequence, coupled with the miraculous effect of the transformation between Xuan Qi and the Yin Qi . They were enough for Zhao Xiaoyun to cultivate to the realm of the gods and spirits(Divine Sea Realm), adding three thousand two hundred years to his lifespan.

"The Ghost Transformation True Incantation needs to be cultivated from the basics. You are already at the orthodox Xuan Realm. If you haven't cultivated this mantra before the True Dao Realm, you will no longer be able to practice it after you break through the realm."

Ji Yuenian saw Zhao Xiaoyun's concerns, and spoke flatly.

The reason why he had given this mantra to Zhao Xiaoyun was because he and his father had always been very close to the Ji family and Ji Yuenian, when they were in the ancient city of Taichu, which made him owe a little karma.

"Then I'll keep this jade slip for now. I'll have to think about it more than ten years before I reach the True Dao Realm." Zhao Xiaoyun sighed and wanted to put away the black jade slip.

Ji Yuenian flicked his sleeves slightly, and the jade slip turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated. "This jade slip is transformed by me using Yin Qi, and it can't be preserved for a long time. When you decide to practice, go to Xingyuan Peak to find me again."

Zhao Xiaoyun's complexion was a bit complicated. He stood up, bowed to Ji Yuenian, and said, "Thank you, Cousin."

"People, ghosts, demons, spirits, monsters and many other creatures, in fact, there's not much difference," Ji Yuenian said in a deep voice, and the words seemed to mean something. "This life is short, and eventually the spirit and soul will die away. Even if the true spirit dies, it can be reborn after reincarnation, but the soul will no longer be you."

The soul was attached to the true spirit, and it carried everything that a creature had in this life.

The true spirit was immortal. If a living being died, its soul would disappear and be annihilated between heaven and the earth.

After reincarnation, under the blessing of the majestic and vast laws of heaven and earth, a soul would be reborn on top of the true spirit. To some extent, it could be regarded as another newborn creature.

Only the souls who had survived the three major tribulations and were in the Taiyi realm could truly awaken the memory of the true spirit and completely brand the soul of this life into the true spirit.

In this way, even if the soul of this life was scattered away, in the countless reincarnations thereafter, there would be many opportunities to awaken the memory of the soul of this life. Only such characters could be called Immortals.

Even if Zhao Xiaoyun's cultivation level was not so mediocre, if the soul of this life completely dissipated, there was no possibility of recovering it.

That was to say, if Zhao Xiaoyun did not survive the three major tribulations in this life, then his death would be regarded as a real death, and he would have completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

Even if his true soul gave birth to a new soul after reincarnation, it would no longer be Zhao Xiaoyun.

Although the true spirit can not be seen under normal circumstances, but many of the powerful fortune-tellers also had very special methods up their sleeves. Not only would they detect the existence of the true spirit, but also directly attack the true spirit. It was just that for the creatures below the stuck under the three major tribulations, there was no substantial difference between the destruction of the soul and the collapse of the true spirit.

Zhao Xiaoyun walked closer to the azure light shield around Luan Bird, looked at the vast mountains and rivers fleeting past below his feet, and murmured: "Compared with the ordinary people who can only live for a hundred years in the ancient city of Taichu, the True Dao Realm is even more difficult. Eight hundred years of life is long enough, but it is still far from enough."

Ji Yuenian walked up to Luan Bird's head, sat cross-legged, and his long jet-black hair danced along the winds. Looking at the towering giant city that was already looming in the distance, he said, "Longevity is hard, but it's not difficult. If you want to live forever, you need to sacrifice many things."

Moreover, longevity was not eternal life.

The life expectancy increased by 800 years in the True Dao Realm, and the life span increased by 3200 years in the Divine Sea Realm, could both be called longevity to a certain extent.

But, this type of immortality couldn't even reach the brink of what one would call an eternal life.

"Any living being who stepped into the path of cultivation should do whatever it takes to achieve longevity!" Zhao Xiaoyun stood up abruptly, his tone full of firmness. "Cousin, please give me the real mantra, and I'll start cultivating it now!"

The wind howled, and the young man in the black moon robe didn't turn his head. His slender and pale fingers flipped over while his sleeves fluttered, and a dark jade talisman once again condensed. It floated beside Zhao Xiaoyun.

"Half-human, half-ghost, casual cultivation in the wilderness, so what!?" Zhao Xiaoyun grabbed the pitch-black jade talisman, with a hint of madness in his eyes, and murmured, "It's better than dying in despair after hundreds of years!"
