Wet viviparity

Chapter 898 An Attempt, Fixed Words
During those eight years, Ji Ming spent a year reflecting on himself and determining the direction for the next stage.

He had three choices. One was to begin cultivating the "Obstructing the Sun and Stars Chapter," which was the most difficult cultivation. The talisman diagrams left by Qian Zu regarding the last chapter of the Taiyi Jia Section True Method were exceptionally profound.

Because the Qian family had presented several volumes of Qian Zu’s cultivation scrolls, Ji Ming was able to get a sneak peek at the wonders of the “Obstructing the Sun God Star Chapter” ahead of time.

After reading these scrolls, Ji Ming knew that relying solely on the "Qianyang Hunyuan Qi Sphere" beneath the Shenzhu Temple, which was secretly gathering turbid Yin energy, expanding horizontally like a hidden calamity, was still insufficient to complete the "Hindering the Sun and Stars Chapter".

If Ji Ming did not follow Qian Zu's method of cultivation, but instead chose the original version of the Divine Star Chapter, he could, like Master Yang, directly utilize the Qian Yang Hunyuan Qi Sphere to cultivate the Divine Star Chapter to perfection and transform into a "supporting star" for a certain star lord.

Of course, this approach was not within Ji Ming's consideration.

With both ability and ambition, why would he abandon the Obstructing Star Chapter, which would allow him to directly cultivate to the "Following Star" level, and instead choose the less advanced Divine Star Chapter?

Although there is only a one-word difference between auxiliary stars and secondary stars, the difference between them is immeasurable.

However, because Ji Ming hoped to fully unleash his accumulated potential within a century, achieving a level of dominance with few rivals within his realm to ensure his own security, he still harbored some concerns about the Obstructing Star Chapter, which was unlikely to see significant progress in the short term.

To be honest, Ji Ming believed that once his potential was transformed into cultivation, he would be invincible among those of the same realm. However, after witnessing Lu Zhenjun's Chaos God General with nine drums, six wings, and four legs, he realized that there would always be extraordinary figures in the world who exceeded his imagination, and he should not be too complacent.

Therefore, his second choice was the Six Earth Divine Gang.

The Six Earth Divine Gang is currently within the Earthly Fiend Transformation, which also encompasses all sentient and tangible changes in the world.

He also had a clear vision for the future cultivation of the Six Earth Divine Gang, which was to acquire the eight winds of the world—the raging wind of the East, the gentle breeze of the South, the whirlwind of the West, the cold wind of the North, the long wind of the Southeast, the melting wind of the Northeast, the giant wind of the Southwest, and the fierce wind of the Northwest.

If you want to take a shortcut, you can borrow the "Wind Bag," a magical artifact of acquired formlessness, from the Wind God of the Wind Bureau to cultivate.

That wind bag contains the Mother of Wind, which holds the secrets of the eight winds. If Ji Ming can borrow this treasure, his Six Earth Divine Strength will surely make great progress within twenty or thirty years.

The only problem is that he doesn't have close ties with the Thunder Department, and there's only one Thunder General, Xun Shisanlang, in the Wind Bureau with whom he can establish a relationship, but even that relationship isn't enough to help him borrow the Wind Bag.

The remaining cumbersome method is to collect the eight winds blowing in the human world. For example, Leng Cuishan and Xiao Shougu brought him a lot of warm winds from the South China Sea, and the raging winds, gales, and cold winds from the east, west, and north are not difficult for him to collect with his current status.

However, the long wind, the melting wind, the giant wind, and the fierce wind are not as easy to collect as the four winds. If you want to collect them all, and collect enough of each wind, it will definitely be quite a lot of trouble.

The remaining "Moon in the Water Technique," which was pushed to the resonance stage by the Illusion Technique: Pearl Palace and Shell Pavilion, could be perfected into a supernatural illusion technique if it could be calmed down for a short time and the fundamental changes within it could be understood. However, Ji Ming was not confident that this illusion technique could sweep across the five realms.

Furthermore, because he absorbed the mirage energy of the three Dao Ancestors, the three great masters of the Mirage Spirit Realm had already sensed it and began to contact him within the Spirit Realm, but Ji Ming had not responded.

He knew he couldn't hold out for long; sooner or later, those three would lock onto him in the mortal world. His divine sense told him that this wouldn't be long before a confrontation was inevitable.

Therefore, Ji Ming's third choice is Yuan Pi Ruyi.

The Yuanbi Ruyi is the simplest method. It has only been refined for a short time. With a little refinement, it can help Ji Ming reach the top of the fifth realm.

After reflecting on himself, he realized that having too many choices was also a problem. This didn't even mention the method to refine the Winged Constellation Tribulation Thought; that path was still fraught with danger and uncertainty for Ji Ming.

Over the years, Ji Ming has been refining the Yuanbi Ruyi, perfecting its divine light into a hazy, gray ribbon. Even Leng Cuishan, enveloped by this light, is severely restricted, unable to fully unleash his cultivation. Ji Ming has also mastered the Yuanbi Ruyi's ability to freely transform and interact with its elements.

This technique actually tests his insight and vision. If he can see through the opponent's weakness in an instant, he can transform the Ruyi into something that counters it and defeat the enemy in one blow.

What satisfied Ji Ming the most was the power of the divine bridge transformed from Yuan Pi Ruyi. After several rounds of refinement, the killing power of this divine bridge was no less than that of supernatural powers, giving Ji Ming great confidence.

While refining the Yuanbi Ruyi, Ji Ming had another thought in mind: to use the Yuanbi Ruyi to further explore the "Eye of the Wet Egg Embryo Transformation".

Even before he had achieved such profound spiritual attainment, he dared to attempt to use the Yellow Millet Dream Pillow to cultivate the ability to reincarnate through the Precious Eye, thus being reborn in a dream and returning upon waking. This allowed him to accumulate valuable resources for cultivation and gain more profound spiritual foundation.

Once he had some skill and gained some influence, he boldly attempted to combine his second primordial spirit with the Treasure Eye to achieve a second primordial spirit body. He went through two lifetimes, Chi Shenzi and Jiang Heixiao, and became the most outstanding person in the world.

Now that the Yuanpi Ruyi has been successfully refined, it is natural to make more in-depth attempts in order to discover even greater mysteries within its treasure eye.

Before attempting this, Ji Ming had high expectations for it, feeling that even the slightest breakthrough would be enough to support his future path. He believed that if he were to choose to refine the Winged Constellation Tribulation Thought in the future, the gains from this attempt might be able to resolve the tribulations and obstacles within the Tribulation Thought.

His attempt was not a pipe dream; he had a clear idea before putting it into practice.

After absorbing spiritual energy, the eye of the wet egg-fetal transformation will form one of the four characters: wet, egg, fetus, or transformation. The probability of wet is the highest, followed by egg and fetus, and the probability of transformation is the lowest.

After the Treasure character is formed, Ji Ming can invest in the corresponding reincarnation method. If the pregnant woman corresponding to the Treasure character is not specified, she will be placed into a random mother body after the Treasure character takes effect. This entire reincarnation process is completely in line with the cycle of 'birth, growth, harvest, and storage'.

The principle of the "Unfinished Ruyi Spiritual Light" in the Yuanbi Ruyi is based on the fact that all things are in the cycle of "formation, dwelling, decay, and emptiness" or "birth, growth, harvest, and storage". Unfinished is the subtle point where something is about to be formed but not yet formed, about to dwell but not yet dwelling, about to decay but not yet decaying, and about to be empty but not yet empty.

Thus, in theory, the Yuanbi Ruyi can effectively control the formation process of the character "Bao".

In other words, once the eye of the wet egg begins to form one of the four treasure characters, the Yuanbi Ruyi can lock this process in the unfinished state again to prevent the treasure character from becoming fixed.

This means that Ji Ming can delay the final formation of the character "宝" and choose the type of "宝" as needed.

For example, when the Treasure Eye forms the character "湿" (wet), after using the Unfulfilled Auspicious Light, the Treasure Eye's state will be adjusted back to before the character "湿" was formed.

At this moment, by increasing or decreasing the spiritual energy within the eye of enlightenment, or by placing it in different environments, and by using the method of exhaustive search to try to change the fixed result of the eye of enlightenment forming the character "湿" (wet), one can greatly increase the chances of the character "化" (transformation) appearing.

Around the fifth year, after Ji Ming had mastered the refinement of the Yuanbi Ruyi, he began to make various attempts.

As he had predicted, after the Treasure Eye absorbed the spiritual energy, the formed character "egg" indeed returned to its state before it was formed, thanks to the effect of the Unfulfilled Wish-Fulfilling Spiritual Light.

Even now, he hasn't forgotten how he felt back then.

That was a long-lost joy, a pure joy, just like when I lay on the Yellow Millet Dream Pillow outside the Hengshan Cave entrance, trying for the first time to expand the effects of the Treasure Eye. But this time, the joy was even purer.

Unfortunately, when the "treasure" character was set in a state of near-ending yet unresolved by the "unfulfilled wish-fulfilling spiritual light," no matter how many methods he tried, he could not change that fixed outcome, until he began to adopt an unreliable method—the "dangerous path god."
