Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 314 All Laws Return to One
Chen Ye offered an explanation, then looked calmly at Qu Heng and his supporters.

As the sect leader, Chen Ye was somewhat worried because his opinions differed from those of most of the elders.

However, in his view, if the Yellow Springs Sect wanted to establish reincarnation, it needed to set strict rules. Chen Ye currently lacked the ability to protect all things in heaven and earth, so he could only choose humans as the foundation, prioritizing the fundamental human need—the prohibition against cannibalism.

Qu Heng was silent for a moment, then said to Chen Ye, "What the sect leader said makes sense. I was a bit too eager for quick success."

Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. If Qu Heng had really insisted on his own opinion, the situation would have become very ugly.

However, his master still gave him plenty of face.

Qu Heng agreed with Chen Ye's opinion, and naturally, the others would not object.

This minor disagreement was thus resolved.

Chen Ye then entrusted the matter of Qingguan Mountain to Pang Duoduo, leaving the remaining details to her.

Pang Duoduo could naturally arrange how to select disciples to cultivate this secret technique and how to mass-produce enough poison, so Chen Ye didn't need to worry about it himself.

He didn't even bother looking at the piles of official documents on his desk. After assigning many tasks to the Yellow Springs Sect, Chen Ye went into the Ginseng Fruit Underground Palace and settled down to meditate and cultivate.

It wasn't for increasing my cultivation level, I was just simply tired.

Chen Ye needs some quiet time to relax his mind.

Chen Ye now feels that spiritual practice is not so difficult; what is truly difficult is the mental and physical exertion, and the risk to one's life while traveling around.

Simply by meditating quietly and circulating his spiritual energy, Chen Ye could feel his cultivation level constantly improving.

The realm of enlightenment is merely a state of being, but this state is not static.

Once you open the gateway and push open that mysterious door, the boundless power of heaven and earth will baptize you. As a cultivator, it's like going against the current; it's already difficult enough to maintain your form in the turbulent waters and avoid being swept away.

In this process, one must also find a way to seize one's own "supernatural power" amidst the torrent of nature.

If you can't grasp it, you'll remain stuck in the Body Refinement stage, wasting your lifespan. Just like Changshou now, he spends his days planting flowers and grass, looking very leisurely, but he often has a worried look on his face.

Because he simply couldn't find that one strand of the vast ocean that belonged to him.

Without comprehending supernatural powers, one can never continue to improve.

Chen Ye is different. He is more like Mo Suixin, a natural-born genius who had his own unique insights before reaching the Profound Realm.

But this also resulted in Chen Ye lacking that feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Every person in the Tongxuan Realm experiences a wondrous feeling when comprehending supernatural powers, but Chen Ye accidentally cultivated eighteen Qi Seas, and then he was poisoned by snake venom, which caused his Qi Seas to mutate and lead to his comprehension of supernatural powers.

There was no enlightenment in this process, only various unexpected events.

Chen Ye barely managed to master the first four levels of Hell, but he hasn't made any progress lately.

In that case, when will one ever reach the end of the eighteen levels of hell? When will one be able to achieve the Nascent Soul stage or even ascend to immortality?

It's time to focus on cultivation; spiritual cultivation is the foundation.

Once Chen Ye cultivates to the Dao Integration Realm, all problems will be easily solved.

Sitting in meditation, calming his mind, and cultivating, spiritual energy slowly circulated within Chen Ye's body. The aura emanating from the ginseng fruit remained refreshingly invigorating; simply absorbing this green wood spiritual energy was enough to replenish all of Chen Ye's energy. After cultivators passed the Body Refinement stage, most could rely on spiritual energy to replenish their needs. Chen Ye had even forgotten when he last ate and went to the toilet.

Forgetting all other matters, Chen Ye focused on his spiritual practice.

On one hand, he strengthened his Qi Sea, and on the other hand, he organized all the secret techniques and supernatural abilities he had learned.

Chen Ye's unwavering dedication to cultivation, day and night, quickly yielded results.

First, the deity Fengdu Emperor underwent a change, and the method of deducing the "Meng Po Soup" that had been asked to be used by Fengdu Emperor came to a conclusion.

Chen Ye obtained a spell that was so complex that it was impossible for a single person to cast it.

Theoretically, this spell can erase a person's entire memory, including all instincts, leaving only the purest soul, just like a fetus, but without damaging the soul.

This perfectly aligns with the meaning of Meng Po Soup. However, to cast this spell, one must expend a great deal of manpower and resources to set up an array, and the efficiency will not be very high, possibly only erasing the memories of dozens of people at a time.

The cost is too high and the efficiency is too low; further optimization is expected.

But ultimately, it was all created from nothing. With the existence of the underworld and the Meng Po soup, the cycle of reincarnation was one step closer to its true completion.

After the deduction was completed, the Emperor of Fengdu was "free".

Chen Ye then had a flash of inspiration. He realized that he was always single-minded when fighting with others, always thinking that he couldn't use one move if he didn't know how. He had learned so much, but he could only use a few of it.

If you lack talent, can you rely on other methods?

If we're really talking about the power of various supernatural abilities and secret techniques, apart from the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, Chen Ye's greatest reliance is actually this Emperor of Fengdu.

Qu Heng, for example, possessed most of his skills in the Crimson Dragon Buddha. His signature move was particularly effective and easy to use.

The rank of the Fengdu Emperor is above that of the Crimson Dragon Buddha, but Chen Ye has never had time to cultivate properly, so his relationship with this deity is not very close.

It's time to organize my chaotic cultivation, taking the Fengdu Emperor as the foundation, and incorporating all these messy supernatural powers and secret techniques into it.

While pondering and researching, Chen Ye also asked the Emperor of Fengdu to help him deduce the results.

As time passed, the deity behind Chen Ye also began to gradually change its appearance.

Originally, there was only a vague outline, barely recognizable as the image of an emperor. As Chen Ye continued to cultivate, the image of the Fengdu Emperor began to appear more clearly. In addition to the crown on his head, his robes also began to show a purple-gold color, with countless dark patterns flowing within them.

Upon closer inspection, it was not a pattern at all, but rather a series of hideous human faces, as if they were sealed inside the clothes, suffering torment and unable to break free.

The first supernatural power of the Fengdu Emperor is that this long robe is like a banner of ten thousand souls, which can collect vengeful spirits.

Chen Ye had been studying the Myriad Soul Banner since he began cultivating. This magical artifact was more familiar to him than the eighteen levels of hell, and he was most adept at deducing its effects.

As the Robe of Ten Thousand Souls appeared, the face of the Emperor of Fengdu seemed to become clearer, completely different from Chen Ye's handsome appearance, exuding supreme majesty and terror.

This is the Emperor of the Underworld, who needs to suppress all evil thoughts in the world; he can't possibly be as handsome as Chen Ye.

This is just the beginning. Chen Ye wants to transform all his knowledge into magical treasures for the Fengdu Emperor. Once the Fengdu Emperor develops his own intelligence, Chen Ye will no longer need to control him when facing enemies. This deity will naturally use all sorts of magical treasures and will surely be a hundred times more powerful than Chen Ye himself.
