An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 409 The Chapter of Transformation and Divine Evolution

Like "The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body", "The Chapter on the Transformation of Others into Freedom" also contains the word "freedom".

To be free and unrestrained, unburdened by calamities, lifespan, or rules—this is perhaps the ultimate pursuit of all cultivators.

After briefly glancing through it, Chu Xiu's face lit up with joy.

"This cultivation technique is compatible with the Yama Scripture! At least in the early stages, they don't conflict!"

There will definitely be conflicts between different cultivation methods. Moreover, both the Yama Sutra and the Divine Evolution Chapter are fundamental methods for cultivating the soul, and usually only one can be chosen.

But Chu Xiu discovered that there were commonalities and points of convergence between the two!
For example, the first step in their cultivation is to strengthen their divine soul so that they can travel by day.

Because Chu Xiu had already cultivated the Yama Scripture, this step could be skipped entirely.

The next steps are also visualization and spiritual presence.

The difference lies in the fact that the Yama Sutra visualizes the ultimate visualized creature created by countless powerful cultivators of the Demonic Sect over millions of years through continuous optimization and improvement, while the Divine Evolution Chapter visualizes various Dao diagrams containing the laws of nature, such as the Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.

The divine presence that followed was not a fictional ghost or god, but rather the "true self," the most primal and natural form of the soul.

This means that, compared to the Yama Sutra, although the first stage of the Divine Transformation Chapter does not grant the same powerful supernatural abilities, the soul's sensitivity to and affinity with spiritual energy far surpasses that of the Yama Sutra.

Next comes the manifestation of "other transformation," which is divided into three realms: transformation into spirit, transformation into law, and transformation into the Dao. Each realm has four stages.

Soul Devouring, Soul Merging, Soul Controlling, Primordial Spirit.

The Dharma of Inspiration, The Dharma of Theft, The Dharma of Transmission, The Dharma of Appearance.

Seed the Way, Uphold the Way, Propagate the Way, and Transform Freely!
Chu Xiu was increasingly alarmed as he looked at it. Once one reaches the Transformation stage, one's primordial spirit can replicate all the laws of heaven and earth for one's own use. If one cultivates the primordial spirit Dharma form, one can truly unleash thousands of spells in an instant. The energy flows smoothly and without any loss. Even cultivators who have mastered the Five Elements spells to the extreme are far from being able to compare with it!
Upon reaching the Transformation stage, one can even evolve the rules for one's own use!

The final technique, "Transformation of Freedom," is an incredibly powerful ultimate divine ability. Throughout the entire history of the Demonic Sect, only a handful of people have been able to master this technique, and each of them is a figure who dominates their era! It is said that with this technique, even immortals from the upper realms cannot do anything about it; it is truly "freedom"!
"Although this skill may not seem to have much combat power in the early stages, its control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the later stages is something that Yama Jingyuan cannot compare to."

"No matter how exquisite and perfect the gods and spirits created by humankind may be, they still cannot compare to the great Dao inherent in nature."

Chu Xiu stroked his chin and quickly made a judgment: although the Yama Scripture was already the most advanced inheritance, it was still not as good as the Divine Evolution Chapter, which originated from innate gods and demons and pointed directly to the Great Dao.

Of course, the so-called later stages are realms that Chu Xiu can hardly imagine now, so he doesn't need to consider such things.

"Currently, the two cultivation methods can be practiced simultaneously. After all, the path of ghosts and gods is also a kind of Taoist magic. Since the Divine Evolution Chapter can transform into all kinds of magic, it can naturally coexist."

Chu Xiu wasn't sure whether the two techniques could be fused when he reached a higher level of mastery, and he didn't bother to think about it too much.

At least he could be certain that the early stages of cultivation were still within the realm of "techniques" and would not affect the foundation, so that there would not be a situation in the later stages where the influence of each other would prevent a certain lineage from being cultivated to perfection.

With that in mind, he stopped thinking about it and started adding points!
With a total of 70 million causal points, Chu Xiu had never fought such a rich battle before!
He skillfully sat down cross-legged, and as the causal point in his palm began to burn, a flood of insights poured into his mind!
Almost instantly, he completed the cultivation of the Night Tour and Day Tour of the Divine Evolution Chapter, consuming less than one hundred Karma Points!
"But it feels like something's missing."

He paused for a moment before realizing that the notification sound for realm advancement was missing; after the data was removed, these things were gone too.

Somewhat amused, Chu Xiu shook his head and returned to his cultivation.

The subsequent visualization and divine presence didn't take much effort, and the 20,000 karmic points were all collected in no time.

Although Chu Xiu had already completed these two steps in advance, his divine soul still underwent a certain degree of growth through different visualizations and divine descents in the Divine Evolution Chapter.

"If we calculate based on the data, it would be around two thousand points."

Although it wasn't much, it still satisfied Chu Xiu quite a bit.

Then comes the second step: Spirit Transformation!
This step is not as easy as before; it requires starting from scratch.

"Any powerful soul must possess its own energy."

Otherwise, if you have to burn your soul power to instantly kill some small monster, what's the point of playing?
Even the underworld messengers he cultivated through the Yama Sutra were no exception; even after completely separating from their physical bodies, they still possessed extremely powerful strength, enough to devour even a ghost king alive!

Whether it's soul-summoning or ghostly wailing, both can be driven by the energy of the spirit itself.

However, the way the Yama Sutra absorbs energy is similar to that of a ghost, where the power is integrated into its own soul body, and what it can activate is only the supernatural power that the original body possesses.

Therefore, when Chu Xiu wanted to pursue the Awakening Space, he was forced to directly consume his divine soul power in order to propel his physical body to speed through the universe.

The Divine Transformation Chapter is completely different. The Spirit Transformation stage requires storing a large amount of spiritual power in the soul!

It is not in any special transformed form, but simply highly condensed spiritual energy!
To use a more vivid analogy, the Yama Sutra is actually like "body cultivation" in the cultivation of the soul, while the Divine Evolution Chapter is more like "dharma cultivation".

Of course, this analogy is not accurate. When the Divine Transformation Chapter is cultivated to the later stage, the strength of the primordial spirit is incomparable to any other cultivation method. The Yama who is cultivated by the Yama Sutra is fierce, but its greater role is to command all ghosts to fight together.

"Then come on, let me see what wonders this supreme inheritance of the demonic sect holds!"

"add a bit!"

Numerous causal points burned all around, transforming into countless forces that transcended causality, surging wildly into Chu Xiu's body!
Under the influence of the causal point, his perception of the surrounding spiritual energy became clearer and clearer, and he gradually began to devour the spiritual energy around him!

It was a very strange feeling. Chu Xiu was not only absorbing the spiritual energy around him, but also transforming it into his own spiritual power. However, in this process, he could not destroy the purity of the spiritual energy itself!

At first, it took him a long time to convert a wisp of spiritual energy, but as the causal points were consumed, his conversion speed became faster and faster, and the converted spiritual energy became more and more refined!
When he had consumed about 700,000 karma points, Chu Xiu felt that his soul was completely filled with spiritual energy. He even had the illusion that his soul was about to float up like a balloon!

This desolate starship naturally lacks spiritual energy; it's all formed from causal points.

Chu Xiu also knew that this step of the Soul Devouring Technique had been completed.

"The simplest first step cost 700,000 karma points?" Chu Xiu clicked his tongue in surprise.

However, it is also possible that because he had cultivated the Yama Sutra in advance, his soul was exceptionally powerful, which caused him to need more spiritual energy to fill it.

"It's alright, the last thing I lack right now is causal points!"

With a light breath, Chu Xiu took out another large piece of causal point.

"Add more!"

The next step in spirit fusion is to further compress this spiritual power and completely integrate it into the soul body.

At the same time, for every bit of compression and fusion, a bit of absorption and transformation occurs from the outside world.

After this step, the spiritual power that can be stored in the entire soul body will reach more than ten times that at the beginning!
The causal points burned like they were free, and Chu Xiu's soul was also rapidly transforming!

"If fusing spirits is to increase the amount of spiritual energy stored, then controlling spirits is to enhance the accuracy with which the soul can control spiritual energy." "Without precise control, no matter how much spiritual energy you have, you can't form powerful spells."

"As for the final primordial spirit, it is not the same as the primordial spirit formed by a normal cultivator's transformation into a deity. Instead, it is a form created by imitating those innate deities without physical bodies, and it is most suitable for mobilizing spiritual power!"

To distinguish it, Chu Xiu referred to it as the "Battle Primordial Spirit".

Simple and easy to understand, a primordial spirit specifically used for combat.

Knowing what was going on, Chu Xiu closed his eyes and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

A month later.

Chu Xiu sat cross-legged in the Star Leap Ship, his body motionless, but strangely, a large amount of spiritual light rose from every pore of his body, eventually converging on the top of his head.

There, there was a phantom figure with the exact same appearance as Chu Xiu, sitting cross-legged in the void with its eyes closed!

Chu Xiu was only about ten centimeters tall. Spiritual light continuously poured into his body, making his originally illusory body more and more condensed. At the same time, an indescribable aura emanated from his body.

Unlike the malevolent Yama Sutra, the illusory Chu Xiu gave people a sense of peace. No, it was more than just peace; it also had a refreshing fragrance like a celestial fruit, making people unable to resist the urge to devour this phantom whole.

It was as if that phantom was some kind of powerful tonic!
Suddenly, as the spiritual light gathered to its peak, it was as if a bottleneck had been broken in an instant, and all the light was absorbed into the small Chu Xiu!

He completely concealed his aura, like a tree that had existed in a forest for thousands of years, seemingly integrated with the world around him.

Chu Xiu opened his eyes in mid-air, a smile appearing on his face.

"So this is the battle spirit technique! Truly amazing!"

He moved his body curiously like a newborn baby, then took off and flew around his original body several times before finally returning to his spiritual core.

Chu Xiu's physical body opened its eyes, and he felt that his spirit was stronger than ever before!
"My mental attributes have at least doubled!"

"Now my soul is so strong that even those perfected demigods in the soul profession might not be able to compare!"

"and."

Chu Xiu revealed an excited smile.

"Compared to improving basic attributes, the ability of the battle spirit is even more important!"

Even Chu Xiu himself didn't know how strong he was now!
It should be noted that Chu Xiu has not yet mastered the Yin Messenger of the Yama Scripture, which is also at the second step, and the cultivation difficulty of the Divine Evolution Chapter is even higher!

Of course, the price to pay for cultivating the Battle Spirit in one go is extremely high.

During his month-long seclusion, he spent a total of 18 million karma points!
Even though Chu Xiu still had a lot of karma points left, spending so much at once still made him feel a pang of heartache.

"I'll postpone the next transformation technique for now," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to spend the money; though it hurt, Chu Xiu wouldn't hesitate to spend it when it was time to do so.

However, after achieving the Battle Spirit level, Chu Xiu realized something.

"It's best to wait until you've achieved the Nascent Soul stage before practicing the Transformation stage."

The nascent soul is something that a cultivator develops from their soul. It is the precursor to the primordial spirit that transforms into a deity, and its core purpose is to help cultivators have stronger "perception".

The purpose of the Nascent Soul is to create a primordial spirit capable of comprehending the Dao of Heaven. As the precursor to the primordial spirit, the Nascent Soul, though unable to comprehend the Dao of Heaven, can greatly enhance a cultivator's perception and control of spiritual power.

Without a Nascent Soul cultivator to forcefully cultivate the [Transformation Method], saying it's twice the result for half the effort is an understatement; the required karmic points would probably be more than ten times higher!
Even if Chu Xiu were incredibly wealthy, he couldn't afford such waste.

Similarly, the [Transformation of the Dao] requires one to have a primordial spirit formed from the transformation of the spirit before cultivating.

Of course, the above two requirements are only the most basic. There are very few people in the entire history of the Demonic Sect who can complete the [Transformation Technique] at the Nascent Soul stage.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu stopped thinking about it. With a thought, a huge surge of spiritual power suddenly rushed out from under him, propelling his entire body out of the Star Leap Ship!

Chu Xiu's eyes lit up with even greater joy!

"Such a powerful speed of spiritual energy release and control!"

Just now, he didn't use any supernatural powers at all; he simply released his spiritual energy to propel the brick flying.

Even so, it still allowed him to accelerate to twenty times the speed of sound in a very short time! This acceleration was no less than that of Garuda!

This is the terrifying aspect of the primordial spirit in combat! The physical body needs to circulate magic power through the meridians to release it, but the primordial spirit has no physical obstacles, making the release and control of spiritual power much easier!

Of course, it's not that the primordial spirit completely surpasses the physical body in combat. After all, what the primordial spirit can currently store and release is only pure spiritual energy. No matter how highly refined it is, it certainly cannot compare to high-level powers such as divine and demonic power or the origin of magical treasures.

With a light breath, Chu Xiu fully extended his divine sense, starting from the edge of the Star Leap Ship, and carefully searched the behemoth.

He now desperately wants to find some opponents to see just how powerful his cultivated fighting spirit has become!

Before long, Chu Xiu's eyes lit up and he sensed something.

On a steel wall at the very edge of the Star Leap Ship, a large number of creatures with silver back armor lay prone, looking as if they had become one with the steel.

It is a mutated creature!

This group of transformed creatures was even larger than the ones Zhu Jiu and the others had encountered before. At this moment, they seemed completely unaware of Chu Xiu, making no move whatsoever.

In fact, they were hidden inside the Star Leap Ship. If Chu Xiu's divine sense hadn't been strong enough to penetrate steel two or three miles thick, he wouldn't have been able to find them.

"Then use you to test the power of my primordial spirit."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, and he gently pointed downwards.

Without him making any move, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be guided by something and naturally converged into a channel. In the next instant, a vast amount of spiritual energy surged out without warning!

A beam of pure energy, hundreds of meters thick, formed in the void and burst forth with extreme brilliance, illuminating the sky for thousands of miles around!

"boom!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the beam of light pierced through the starship as easily as a sharp blade through tofu!
