Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 330 Three Secrets: The Immortal's Little Finger
Right now, two fingers are wreaking havoc within the [Treasure Bottle Universe], unleashing a monstrous demonic calamity.

In Jingqian's eyes, this was bringing disaster to his people!

The [Treasure Vase Seal] was already ownerless; in his heart, he had long since included this [Ark of the Other Shore] in his collection of assets.

So he acted without hesitation!

"town!"

The [Suppress] technique, enhanced by six times the [Sumeru] dimension, sealed off the entire First Heaven as soon as it was unleashed!
[True Sin] The middle finger was split into eighty-one incarnations. Except for one clone, the other parts have all gone to other realms.

Within the entire first heaven, only the clones of the index and middle fingers of [True Sin] exist.

As the [Suppress] technique suddenly descended, [True Evil] exclaimed in alarm:
"Boss!"

"How dare you eat me!"

In its understanding, only its own thumb can use this "suppress" technique.

This time, the other party ambushed it, clearly intending to suppress and devour it.

It's strange, really. The five fingers on a palm should be connected to each other, sharing the same origin and common interests.

Unfortunately, each of the five fingers harbored its own ulterior motives, each wanting to devour the other in order to master the "more" technique and ascend from a single finger to a palm.

Therefore, they kept secrets from each other and concealed things from one another.

As a result, Jing Qian swallowed his thumb, and he was completely unaware of the loss of his remaining four fingers.

Faced with the sudden suppression, the index finger fought back desperately!

"change!"

The [Transformation] technique was fully activated, beginning to dissipate the pressure brought by the [Suppress] technique.

Normally, the characters 【镇】 and 【化】 are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The thumb and index finger have been locked in a love-hate relationship for so many years, and neither can do anything about the other.

This time, however, the index finger was surprised to find that the power of the [Suppress] technique on the other side had increased more than tenfold!
It's completely unable to melt!
The immense power of time forcefully held it down.

Immediately afterwards, nine [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] surrounded him, easily slicing him into ten pieces.

The index finger did not immediately perish; each segment twisted wildly, attempting to reform, emitting a shrill, mournful screech filled with the rage and fear of betrayal.

"Boss! You've broken the rules! If the master finds out, he'll grind you to dust!"

Jing Qian, hidden in the void, sneered even more upon hearing this.

The relationship between these [True Evil] fingers was even more wicked and childish than he had imagined, which made it easier for him to defeat them one by one.

He ignored the index finger's howl and, with a thought, unleashed the nine Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations once again!

This time, he completely peeled his index finger into tiny pieces.

Pangu's left hand swung forward, and a powerful suction force landed on his index finger.

The power originating from the [True Evil] was swallowed up by the [Pangu Body].

The shattered, still struggling fragments of the index finger finally gave up all resistance in the face of this suction force targeting its very essence.

They were like black quicksand, or the substance formed from desperate wails, transforming into a twisted black torrent that was completely swallowed up by the left hand of the [Pangu Body].

Ultimately, it transformed into a rather intricate "化" (hua) character in seal script, manifesting on his fingernail.

Jing Qian's body trembled violently as an even more violent and chaotic torrent of power surged into his body than when he had devoured the thumb.

This power is full of the characteristics of "decomposition", "dissolution" and "transformation", which is the original manifestation of the "transformation" principle!
Countless fine, constantly appearing and disappearing black runes instantly appeared on his left arm, and even half of his body. These runes attempted to decompose and assimilate his flesh, bones, and even magic power.

Intense pain swept over me, as if countless tiny worms were gnawing at my body.

Jing Qian, with an iron will, let out a cold snort.

The Pangu Body roared and circulated, its internal magical power surging like the Yangtze River. Its supreme physique, originating from the beginning of creation, possessed the great power to suppress and refine all laws.

"Practice for me!"

He used his own will as a guide, the Pangu Body as a furnace, and the newly mastered Zhen (镇) technique as a shackle to forcibly forge this unruly power.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, it seemed as if two primordial beasts were fighting fiercely, yet under Jing Qian's powerful control, they were forcibly brought together.

Before long, the rampant black runes on the left arm gradually subsided and eventually disappeared completely, merging into the flesh and blood.

He has perfectly mastered the technique of "transformation"!
He carefully savored this true meaning and was astonished to discover that the blessing from the 6% [Sumeru] origin had also increased its power tenfold!
This method of word manipulation, the Dao Fa, still demonstrates a perfect alignment with the Pangu Great Body.

When he awoke from his meditation and scanned the [Treasure Vase Seal Universe] again, he discovered that the middle finger that had practiced the [Hidden] technique had long since disappeared.

Only one clone remained, still suppressed in the first level of heaven.

The middle finger, sensing something was wrong, had already made its escape.

The opponent's cultivation technique, "Concealment," allows them to hide themselves and makes them extremely adept at concealment.

However, Jing Qian did not panic.

Jing Qian activated the Pangu Body, his left hand spreading out its five fingers like a miniature cosmic cage, enveloping the True Evil middle finger clone that was being suppressed by the Suppression Technique.

Although this middle finger clone is only a part of the main body and has lost the initiative, the characteristics of the "Hidden" technique are still stubbornly at work.

Unlike the index finger, which fiercely resists, it tries to turn reality into illusion, existence into non-existence, like a slippery loach, wanting to "hide" and escape from the cracks in the suppression.

However, would Jing Qian give it another chance?
With unwavering resolve, the faint light of the "Suppress" technique and the gray energy of the newly mastered "Transform" technique intertwined in the palm of his left hand, forming a domain of absolute control.

The middle finger clone lunged left and right, but it seemed to be crashing into an invisible barrier. Its proud "Hidden" technique was greatly diminished in the face of a higher level of power.

It's like a flying insect trapped in amber; it can still tremble slightly, but it can no longer escape.

"Refining!"

Jing Qian let out a low shout, and the devouring power of the [Pangu Body] was activated once again.

The middle finger clone struggled, its form becoming blurred and transparent, eventually turning into wisps of extremely faint, almost imperceptible gray air currents.

This airflow carried a quality of "weakening presence" and "information concealment," and as if drawn by an invisible force, it slowly merged into Jing Qian's left hand.

Jing Qian carefully observed this change and guided this force towards the nail of his left middle finger.

A very faint trace began to appear.

The trace was initially like a reflection in water, blurry and indistinct. Then it slowly condensed and eventually transformed into a character "藏" (cang), much fainter than "镇" (zhen) and "化" (hua), as if it might disappear at any moment.

The seal script for the character "藏" is dark gray in color and has thin lines; if you don't look closely, you might almost miss its existence.

It quietly imprinted itself on the nails of [Pangu Da Ti], naturally exuding an aura of "don't pay attention to me" and "I am insignificant".

Although the power of the [Hidden] technique condensed from this clone is far less complete and powerful than the previous two, its core essence has already been acquired and initially refined by Jing Qian.

When he imbued the essence of Sumeru into the technique of Hidden, a faint trace appeared in his eyes.

That's the rest of the middle finger, the escape route.

"Can you run away?"

With a slight thought, the faint character "藏" (Hidden) on his left palm glowed faintly, and an extremely subtle sensation, like a spider's thread, pointed to a deep corner of the universe...

The hunt is not over yet.

With the "Hidden" technique at his disposal, Jing Qian will find it much easier to track down the middle finger, which is most adept at concealment.

This treasure vase seal of the universe will ultimately come under his complete control.

Jing Qian stood in the void of the first heaven, feeling the new power brought by the three ghost seals in his left hand.

[Pangu's Great Body] integrates the three major principles of [Taoist Law], and is also rapidly improving itself.

His three core Daoist systems—the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Pangu Body, and the Hongjun Furnace—have unlimited potential.

Hunting down the middle finger is only a matter of time, but before that, he needs to make this ownerless universe clearly know who is its sole ruler now and in the future.

He no longer concealed his form, and the Pangu Body quickly expanded, with his blood and Daoist energy flowing naturally, resonating subtly with this broken but revitalizing world.

He took a step forward, and lotus flowers bloomed in the void beneath his feet. These were not real lotus flowers, but rather brilliant Dao patterns formed by the laws of spacetime under his pressure.

His figure continued to grow taller, just like the Dharma body of heaven and earth, and his very existence was infinitely "highlighted" in the [Vase Seal Universe].

He seemed to become a coordinate, a lighthouse, his radiance beginning to penetrate layer upon layer of heavens, spreading to every corner of the [Treasure Bottle Seal].

Immediately, Jing Qian declared:

"I am the Lord of the Void!"

As his name was announced, he slowly raised his left hand, his thumb, index finger, and middle finger naturally extending.

The character 【镇】 (zhen, meaning "suppress") lit up first in the Ghost Seal script. The boundless and powerful suppressive force was no longer aimed at a specific target, but rather, like gentle rain, it softly yet firmly caressed the entire universe.

All the temporal and spatial turbulence and shattered fragments of laws caused by the demonic calamity were smoothed and stabilized by an invisible force at this moment.

The raging energy storm subsided, and the cracked earth temporarily stabilized. This was a declaration, demonstrating its power to stabilize the world and suppress all turmoil.

Immediately afterwards, the character 【化】 appeared in a ghostly seal script, its light swirling around it.

The polluting energy, residual demonic thoughts, and various distorted traces of rules brought by the [True Sin] finger permeated many realms.

It begins to be silently decomposed and dissolved, transformed into pure cosmic primordial energy, and then nourishes this world.

This demonstrates its ability to purify all impurities and transform all things for its own use.

Finally, even the faintest of the ghost seal characters for "hidden" flickered slightly.

In an instant, all living beings experienced a strange feeling.

A magnificent image of a deity appeared in his consciousness.

His face was shrouded in a hazy, clear light, making it difficult to see clearly. Only his eyes, as deep as the starry sea and as indifferent as the eternal void, were perfectly clear.

That gaze fell calmly, as if piercing through endless space and layers of defenses, landing on every living being, with scrutiny and a lofty sense of looking down upon all living beings.

At this moment, the universe is silent, and all spirits bow their heads.

Jing Qian continued:

"The old people have passed away, the demonic calamity will soon be cleared, and all the spirits of the universe should follow my law and inherit my will, so that they may have the opportunity to recuperate and even transcend."

As he spoke, eighty-one void rifts opened in the [Sumeru] dimension, covering the entire [Treasure Bottle Seal Universe].

Then, groups of Seraphim emerged from among them.

Their figures are tall and perfect, as if sculpted from the purest light and the most steadfast faith.

This is a local specialty that Jing Qian brought from the Kingdom of the Lord.

Each individual Seraphim possesses the cultivation level of the upper three ranks, enough to suppress the current Treasure Bottle Universe.

After asserting his sovereignty, his forces will take over the [Aquarius Universe] for a period of time and gradually integrate it into the [Sumeru] system, without him having to worry about it.

Subsequently, Jing Qian reclaimed his own Dharma Body.

This opportunity to display one's divine power in front of others is far too high-profile.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked his finger again, and the second [Life and Death Talisman] leaf was gently and skillfully flicked into the origin of the [Treasure Bottle Seal Universe].

Thus, he completed the instructions of the [Yanfu Dao Ancestor] ahead of schedule and laid the foundation for the great formation.

All that's left is to wait for a full sixty years for the demonic calamity to descend, giving him a good feast.

Without further hesitation, Jing Qian's thoughts shifted, and in a flash, he disappeared into the [Treasure Bottle Seal Universe].

He came quietly, averting a catastrophe that threatened to destroy the world, without taking away a single cloud.

Where he appeared, a middle finger transformed into an invisible streak of light, rapidly fleeing.

With the help of the "Hidden" technique, this finger had nowhere to hide.

"town!"

Another powerful control force firmly suppressed the middle finger.

No wonder the thumb is the most important finger among all the fingers; the "suppress" technique is truly effective!
When Jing Qian encounters an enemy, he first throws out several "Suppress" spells at their face, which almost makes him invincible.

In particular, he used the essence of Sumeru to enhance the power of the Suppression spell, which was pure bullying!
The middle finger possesses the "Concealment" technique. If it were to normally engage in combat with the thumb, it should remain hidden in the shadows to avoid the sharpness of the "Suppression" technique.

But Jingqian had also learned the [Hidden] technique, making it nowhere to hide. However, this time, when he pressed down on his middle finger, he didn't directly devour it.

Instead, he began to fully activate the [Transformation] technique, applying it to his middle finger.

This time, his goal was not to wear down the middle finger's physical body and magical power.

Rather, it is something deeper and more mysterious: the memory and consciousness of the middle finger.

The immense power of transformation, like an invisible flow of water or the most precise scalpel, ignored the middle finger's external struggles and resistance, directly penetrating into the core of its existence.

This force exhibits characteristics of "analysis", "stripping away", and "presentation".

"Ugh!"

The middle finger emitted a scream that was completely different from the one emitted by the index finger.

The despair it felt from having its inner secrets exposed and its spirit and consciousness worn down was far greater than the devastation of its physical form.

"who are you?"

Why would you use my method?

"Are you perhaps a member of the [Immortal Sect]?"

Faced with the "Transformation" technique, which is blessed by the sixfold power of the "Sumeru" source, its resistance melts away as quickly as ice and snow under the sun.

Countless chaotic, fragmented, and bizarre images and information streams were forcibly stripped and extracted from the origin of the middle finger by the "Transformation" technique.

It was as if a dark history book written in chaos, greed, and betrayal had been unveiled, presenting itself to Jing Qian's perception.

Countless pieces of information, countless images, countless conspiracies and betrayals surged into Jing Qian's mind like a rushing river.

With his powerful divine sense, he sorted through and summarized these extracted memories, discarding the dross and retaining the essence, quickly extracting the valuable parts.

When the memory of the middle finger is completely stripped away, its struggle becomes weak and aimless.

It was as if it had become an empty shell, with only the most instinctive desire to devour weakly pulsating.

Jing Qian's eyes were cold, and he no longer hesitated.

The devouring power of the Pangu Body was activated once again, completely engulfing and refining the middle finger remnant that had lost its memories and most of its intelligence, leaving only its pure origin and the core of the "Hidden" technique.

On the fingernail of the left middle finger, the originally faint seal script character "藏" (cang) suddenly became much clearer and deeper, almost on par with the characters "镇" (zhen) and "化" (hua).

A sense of harmony and completeness emanated from the three ghost seal characters on the left hand.

Jing Qian slowly clenched his left hand, feeling the complete power of yet another [True Evil] technique.

Then, he unleashed another [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation].

However, this time, he channeled the full power of his [Hidden] technique into his sword light.

In an instant, the magnificent and powerful [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] also silently disappeared under the blessing of [Daoist magic].

The incomparably ferocious [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] has actually transformed into the invisible [Invisible Sword]!
Jing Qian once mastered the [Invisible Sword] destiny, which allows him to unleash invisible sword light.

However, the power at the [Heavenly Mandate] level is incomparable to the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation], and naturally cannot even touch the form and spirit of the sword formation.

The [Hidden] Law is different; it has the [Sumeru] primordial power as its foundation and source.

With Jing Qian's skillful use, the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] was perfectly concealed.

From this day forward, we can begin to mourn for Jing Qian's enemies!
The terrifying swordsman, already ruthless and ruthless, developed an undetectable invisibility coating.

The [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] used to be unstoppable when it came head-on.

Now that the enemy can't even be seen, how can we play this game?
Jingqian was very satisfied with the newly acquired methods of [transformation] and [concealment].

These are two more [Taoist methods] that can directly enrich their methods and enhance their combat power.

The key is that it can be directly integrated into the [Pangu Body], without having to divert energy to cultivation, which is perfect.

After doing all this, he flashed back into the [Sumeru] dimension, preparing to begin his seclusion.

Less than sixty years remain until the start of the great war.

He could take this opportunity to hone his foundation in cultivation.

The index and middle fingers suppressed the three [Old Time Orders] in the [Aquarius Universe].

A total of nine strands of Time Power were extracted from the three [Ancient Ones].

Jing Qian had already prepared the [Divine Status Conversion Card], which was just right to absorb these nine [Time Sequences].

More importantly, there are some things in the memories of the "True Sin" finger that are worth careful examination.

This also needs time to be digested.

So he sat quietly in the [Void Realm], purified his thoughts, and entered into deep seclusion.

……

In the 886th level of the Infinite Hell, a minor but significant event occurred.

A powerful demon of the "Transcendent" level has unexpectedly betrayed us!

It's important to understand that for any great hell, beings at the "Transcendence" level are absolutely the backbone, second only to the "Other Shore" hell lord.

Even for many weaker hells, a great demon at the "Transcendence" level can temporarily act as the lord of hell.

Every "Transcendent" should be an absolute confidant of the Lord of Hell.

The fact that he was able to defect suggests that he was not forced into it.

It can only be said that he made this choice for huge profits.

What this "Transcendence" holds in exchange for enormous benefits is an important secret.

It's about the secret of the Great Abyss!

The secret that was originally confined to the seven [Other Shores] was thus spread.

Meanwhile, in the 857th Hell, [Yam] was also exchanging strategies with [Sick].

All that was heard was the words of [Yanfu Daozu]:
"You're crazy, it took me a lot of effort to get this information out there."

"The other side of the eighty-sixth level of hell is quite powerful and skilled in scheming. We should join them."

"However, you now have another territory to conquer, which adds another layer of pressure."

"You should improve your skills as soon as possible and complete the promotion."

"The advancement methods in the [Infinite Hell] are very different from those in the [Great Abyss]."

“I have already cut a part of this great hell for you.”

"Without the process of accumulating [Time Sequence], you only need to refine enough resources to fill your own hell to advance to [Hell Lord].

"Sixty years is more than enough!"

The lucky one is "sick" and will most likely surpass others to become the second disciple of the "Yanfu Path" to achieve the "Transcendence" advancement since the "Yanfu Path Ancestor"!
Within the Great Abyss, the various Yanfuzi were rapidly making preparations.

[Yanfu Daozu] was not idle either. He was rhythmically and skillfully selecting more [Other Shores] to join the conquest of [Great Abyss].

He's building his own nest!

……

Jing Qian is hopelessly obsessed with the memories of the middle finger of "True Sin"!
Don't underestimate this middle finger just because it's not very strong; he easily subdued and refined it.

In reality, it originated from a [True Demon] with an extremely long lifespan, whose memories can be said to span the history of [Great Abyss], tracing back all the way to before [Tide Echo].

From this memory, Jing Qian obtained a great deal of the true secrets of the Great Abyss.

This is probably important information that even the great Dao Ancestors of the old era might not know!
It took him three whole years to sort out this chaotic memory completely.

After stripping away most of the useless information, three pieces of information caught Jingqian's attention the most.

He spent a considerable amount of time carefully pondering the intricacies of the matter.

Firstly, it concerns the nature of [the Way's evil].

The essence of the Dao Nie, which comes from the memories of the True Nie, must be highly authoritative and credible.

In Jingqian's understanding, the Dao Nie originated from the remains of the five Venerable Saints of the Great Abyss: Heart, Life, Qi, Immortal, and Time.

It is the magical power that arose from the prolonged stagnation of the [Holy One's] physical body.

In fact, this understanding is not wrong, just not comprehensive enough.

It turns out that the [Dao Nie], which seem to be the same type of demon, are not the same in essence.

The [Human Degenerate] with the lowest cultivation level and the worst potential has only one source.

They are all dregs that have been generated in the "Spiritual Life and Void Sea" transformed from the "Life Venerable".

This [Spirit, Life, Emptiness, and Sea] is both extremely secretive and extremely important.

Countless sects and sects, and countless geniuses and powerful figures, are trying every means to comprehend the essence of the [Nature, Spirit, Life, Emptiness, and Sea].

They even went so far as to employ some methods to try and exploit the [Spirit, Life, Emptiness, and Sea].

【Mingzun】is magnanimous. His 【Spiritual Sea of ​​Life】is accessible to almost everyone, making it the most open place.

Therefore, many Taoist traditions can achieve this, to a certain extent, influencing the "spirit, life, emptiness, and sea" (性灵命空海).

Just like the bronze palace where [Yamfu Dao] left in [Spirit, Destiny, Emptiness, and Sea], accumulating [Destiny] in advance.

These external forces, rich in the cultivator's primordial spirit, have long been settled in the [Sea of ​​Spiritual Life] and have been influenced by the [Life Venerable's] magical power.

Over time, these fragments of primordial spirits and obsessions from different lineages and cultivators have become part of this.

It permeated, intertwined, and settled with the vast and ancient power of the [Life Lord], and finally cremated.

That is the "Human Evil" that exists in the "Great Abyss Heavenly River"!

They are byproducts of the unintentional "contamination" and "generation" of the majestic power of [Life Supreme].

Therefore, although the "human evil" originates from the "spirit, life, emptiness, and sea," it is not a manifestation of the will of the "life venerable." Rather, it is more like a "lesion" or "parasite" that is constantly growing on its enormous divine body and needs to be cleaned up.

The origins of the Great Evil and the Human Evil are completely different. They originate from the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi and are a trace of impure energy derived from the Qi Saint.

The Sea of ​​Primordial Qi is a manifestation of the Sage of Qi, and is the source and destination of all energy, matter, and all tangible and intangible "Qi" in the universe.

It possesses three thousand layers of precious primordial energy, making it an extremely prosperous and vast place.

However, even for a supreme being like the [Qi Saint], whose vast and boundless divine body is not without flaws after countless years of silence.

In the depths of the ceaseless energy tides of the 【Sea of ​​Primordial Qi】, the collision between different primordial energies will cause some extremely minute "impurities" to be separated and repelled.

These "impurities" are not external pollution, but rather originate from the Qi Saint himself.

These rejected "mixed energies" still contain the terrifying energy level and fragments of laws of the [Qi Saint].

Unable to integrate into the orderly energy cycle, they spontaneously converge, entangle, and compress.

What ultimately manifests is the [great calamity]!

Therefore, the essence of the "Great Evil" can be seen as an energy tumor or law distortion generated by the "Qi Saint" divine body in an unconscious state through its own "metabolism" or "rejection".

They inherited the ferocity and power of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi], but lacked its core of creation and order, leaving only the instinct to devour and destroy.

As for the higher-level "True Sins," their origins are different.

Each [True Demon] is a part of the physical body of a [Celestial Saint], brought to life.

Compared to the mortal power mixed with [Human Evil], [Great Evil] is the impurity that is expelled.

The True Evil is formed from the true Totem Dharma Body, and naturally possesses the strongest essence and power.

And that little finger, in its true essence, is actually a small section of the little finger of a celestial being.

Because the physical body of an immortal is non-renewable, and the activation process is not replicable.

This makes the existence of "True Sins" extremely rare.
