The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 425 Perfecting the Heaven-Defying Divine Technique
In addition, the Divine Secret Technique can fundamentally change a person's consciousness and mind, greatly enhancing their thinking and comprehension, but it also has a small drawback:

That means your spiritual energy and mental strength will be consumed very quickly!

The consumption mainly comes from two aspects. First, enlightenment and cultivation after the fusion and sublimation of consciousness and mind will consume consciousness and mind. Second, operating the Divine Character Secret and maintaining the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram will also consume consciousness and mind. Of the two, the latter consumes more consciousness and mind.

Moreover, according to his estimation, the consumption of spiritual consciousness and mind for the second level of the Divine Word Secret is more than three times that of the first level, and the consumption of spiritual consciousness and mind for the third level is also more than three times that of the second level.

However, at the same level, the deeper one's understanding of the Divine Secret, the less spiritual energy one needs to consume to maintain the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram by operating the Divine Secret.

Li Daoming shook his head slightly, putting the flaws of the Divine Secret to the back of his mind.

This is not a flaw for him at all.

While activating the Divine Secret will quickly deplete one's spiritual energy and mental strength, it won't be unbearably fast. At lower realms, it's enough to operate for ten days, half a month, or even several months. At higher realms, it's not a problem to operate for several years or even decades.

As for restoring one's consciousness and mind? That's even less of a problem. Lower-level cultivators can recover by meditating for a few days or even a few hours, while higher-level cultivators will need more time, but at most a few years to recover.

If one has a precious medicine that nourishes the mind and spirit, the recovery speed will be even faster.

Compared to the benefits it brings, the flaws of the Divine Secret are not a problem at all.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Daoming did not immediately pass on the secret of the Divine Character to the people of the Boundless Holy Court, nor did he use the Dao-Severing Return to Origin technique to sever the cultivation laws and Dao practice of the Boundless Holy Court's future Dao achievers.

He needs to test these two divine techniques again and refine them to ensure that no problems arise.

With this thought in mind, Li Daoming instructed his avatar, who was stationed at the Wuji Sacred Court, to find three cultivators from each of the four extreme secret realms, up to the Great Saint realm, and to have the avatar pass on the first level of the Divine Character Secret to them so that they could begin their cultivation.

Immediately afterwards, nine cultivators entangled in blood evil were captured from countless distant places, to be used to verify the Dao-Severing and Returning to Origin test. Among them, there were three Saints, three Saint Kings, and three Great Saints.

"Slash!" Li Daoming unleashed a beam of immortal light, slashing down towards one of the saints.

"No..." The saint, who was pierced by the celestial light, had endless fear in his eyes.

He felt his cultivation, laws, Dao, and even memories... all disappearing.

In an instant, this sage returned to his original state, becoming an embryo, slowly growing by absorbing pure essence.

"How could this be?" Li Daoming frowned slightly.

He failed, and he succeeded! Or rather, he neither completely failed nor completely succeeded.

This saint has had his cultivation, laws, and Dao attainments severed, returning him to his original state, where he is absorbing his own origin.

It is foreseeable that once he has successfully absorbed all the knowledge and is born, his aptitude, potential, and comprehension will definitely reach a new level.

However, his "Severing the Dao and Returning to the Origin" technique removed a tiny fraction of the original things.

Ninety-nine percent of his memories and intelligence were also severed. After being reborn, he didn't know if he was still the same person he used to be.

In fact, when he was making his deductions, he naturally took into account that he could not sever his memories and intelligence.

However, to everyone's surprise, most of it was still cut off as well.

While mentally devising a solution, Li Daoming unleashed a beam of divine light, covering the embryo as if time had reversed, restoring everything that Li Daoming had severed.

In an instant, he returned to his previous state, and all the cultivation, laws, Dao power, and memories that had been severed were restored.

After a long time, Li Daoming re-deduced the Dao-Severing Return to Origin technique and selected one more person from the nine to verify the new technique. He practiced it on the nine people again and again, verifying and revising it countless times, until Li Daoming finally perfected the Dao-Severing Return to Origin technique.

After he used the "Severing the Dao and Returning to Origin" technique, he no longer severed their cultivation laws or even their Dao levels, but instead severed them to form a Dao fruit.

Only the purest origin and soul remain, which are then reborn.

This way, not only will you not lose your memories and intelligence, but after you cultivate to the peak again, you can also unseal your previous Dao Fruit, merge the Dao Fruits from both lifetimes, and advance your own path to the next level.

"However, on the other hand, can the 'Severing the Dao and Returning to Origin' technique be applied to the same living being multiple times?" Li Daoming couldn't help but wonder.

If the "Severing the Dao and Returning to the Origin" technique can be applied to the same living being multiple times, then it would truly defy the heavens.

Imagine a being who has reached old age. He performs a "Severing the Dao and Returning to Origin" technique on him, severing his Dao Fruit and giving him a new life. When he reaches the peak of his cultivation and merges with the Dao Fruit of his previous life, there is a considerable probability that he can advance even further.

When he reaches old age, give him another "Severing the Dao and Returning to Origin" treatment, and let him start over.

This process, life after life, is almost equivalent to immortality. Moreover, if one can integrate the fruits of one's cultivation from one lifetime to the next, what bottleneck cannot be broken?

With this thought in mind, Li Daoming was overjoyed and began to consider whether his idea was feasible.

"So it really won't work?" After a short while, Li Daoming's eyes dimmed.

The "Severing the Dao and Returning to the Origin" technique can indeed be applied to a single being multiple times, but it cannot allow a being to be reborn in countless lifetimes.

It may be hard for some people to understand, but it's actually not that hard to understand.

Using the "Severing the Dao and Returning to Origin" technique on a living being can sever their Dao Fruit with each use, allowing them to start from scratch. However, it is only effective the first time it is used to give them a new life.

Only when one first severs the Dao Fruit, leaving only the purest origin and soul, will a strange transformation occur, allowing one to live out the next life.

Next, if one cuts off their own Dao Fruit, they can start over from scratch, but they will not undergo any more extraordinary transformations, nor will they be able to live another life.

Therefore, his idea is simply impossible to realize!

He felt a slight disappointment, but Li Daoming quickly recovered.

Although the "Severing the Dao and Returning to the Origin" technique cannot allow a living being to be reborn again and again, its heaven-defying power is still undeniable.

He created this divine technique, which allows all the powerful figures of the Boundless Holy Court to live a second life.

Although they may not experience the same dramatic improvement in aptitude, potential, and comprehension as if they lived a second life on their own, they will certainly see some improvement.

Moreover, by resuming their cultivation, they can accumulate more knowledge and build a deeper foundation, allowing their aptitude and potential to advance further.

Once one reaches the pinnacle of cultivation, one can unseal the Dao Fruit of their previous life, further enhancing their aptitude and potential. Furthermore, by merging the Dao Fruits of their two lives, they will likely be able to break through their cultivation level. Even if they cannot break through, their combat power will certainly increase significantly.

……

Although he created and perfected the heaven-defying divine technique of "Severing the Dao and Returning to the Origin," Li Daoming was not in a hurry to use it.

Because the Wuji Holy Court has no one left, their lifespan is about to be exhausted.
