I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 243 Heavenly Eye - Artificial Heavenly Eye (13)

"That's an immortal, ferocious god... the Guhuoniao."

Quietly perched on a beam in the mountain god temple, Xi Luo simply listened to the conversation below.

As Li Boyang began to recount the abilities of the Guhuoniao and the actions of the six-tailed fox, Lu Huaijin's initial regret turned into shock.

Especially when she learned that the Ubume and all the memories of the six-tailed fox were sealed within her.

A feeling of shock mixed with fear involuntarily rose in Lu Huaijin's heart.

According to Li Boyang, as long as Lu Huaijin cultivates his primordial spirit...

Then she would be able to absorb the memories from the six-tailed fox in reverse, and would no longer be affected by the Guhuoniao.

Conversely, no matter how much Lu Huaijin learned or did, he was ultimately just paving the way for the rebirth of the Guhuoniao.

In fact, this was also a major reason why Li Boyang took the lead in teaching Lu Huaijin the "Perception Method".

This is because it was a pathway that Li Boyang painstakingly discovered, specifically for manifesting the primordial spirit.

"Actually, there is another shortcut you can take, which is for me to help you cultivate the 'Left Path Primordial Spirit'."

"However, in doing so, you will be entangled with the divided soul of that Guhuoniao for the rest of your life. Are you willing to take this shortcut?"

Without hesitation, he decisively shook his head.

Lu Huaijin certainly didn't want to be entangled with another evil version of himself forever.

Moreover, it's not that Lu Huaijin is boasting, but her talent in cultivating the "Perception Method" is indeed exceptional.

Given that she was raised in a semi-free-range environment, it's no wonder that Li Boyang felt comfortable letting her learn from Li Jingshu.

"Master, what does my current situation have to do with the Heavenly Eye?"

He keenly sensed some of Li Boyang's thoughts.

Lu Huaijin realized that the other party had not mentioned his background and origins for no reason.

"Once you understand the essence of the primordial spirit, cultivating it is not difficult; it's just that the process is quite arduous."

“Take your first teacher, for example. She had already reached the level where she could manifest her primordial spirit.”

As he said this, Li Boyang turned his gaze to Li Jingshu, who was standing to the side.

As Li Boyang said, Li Jingshu had already fully mastered the method of entering meditation and had cultivated for four or five years. Theoretically, she should have been able to manifest her primordial spirit long ago.

Do you know why she hasn't manifested her primordial spirit?

Shaking his head in confusion, Lu Huaijin did not make any presumptuous guesses.

"Disciple doesn't know why?"

Before Li Boyang could speak, Li Jingshu began to explain herself.

"Because I don't want to only cultivate to the primordial spirit stage..."

Li Jingshu took the initiative to sit down next to Li Boyang and looked at Lu Huaijin across from her seriously.

"The body is the vessel of the soul, the physical entity, and the foundation of what makes us human."

"The primordial spirit is the manifestation of spirituality, the materialized soul, and the bridge for us to communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth."

“Practicing ‘breathing techniques’ and ‘sensory techniques’ is to strengthen the physical body and the soul respectively.”

"Theoretically, the two should not intersect, but in reality, this is not the case..."

"The strength of the physical body will affect the primordial spirit, and vice versa."

Seeing Lu Huaijin's still puzzled expression, Li Jingshu did not show any impatience.

Instead, just as Li Boyang had taught him, he patiently and earnestly guided him.

It's clear that she has matured a lot in the past few years.

“I am different from you. I was not born holy; in fact, I could be described as congenitally weak.”

"Therefore, even if one practices the 'breathing method' and absorbs 'primordial qi' for a long time, the body's potential is still not comparable to that of a born perfect innate deity."

This is an innate defect, a flaw that is difficult to remedy later in life.

Only Li Boyang was willing to spend so much time and effort on Li Jingshu.

No one else would go to such lengths for others.

"Wait, are you saying you're inferior to innate deities?"

Perhaps because he was so surprised, Lu Huaijin even unconsciously used a respectful title when he said this.

This wasn't an exaggeration on Lu Huaijin's part. It was simply because she couldn't associate Li Jingshu with the word "weak."

Fighting tigers and bears, battling mountain monsters, confronting gods...

Lu Huaijin practically grew up listening to Li Jingshu's legends, and had long regarded her as a demigod.

It's potential, not ability.

Seeing through Lu Huaijin's thoughts at a glance, Li Jingshu corrected him in an annoyed tone.

"Those monsters didn't even reach their full potential, while I unleashed power beyond the limit."

Unwilling to dwell on this issue with Lu Huaijin, Li Jingshu quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"The physical condition and the circulation of vital energy will affect the form of the manifested spirit."

"Therefore, in order to not only cultivate the primordial spirit, I must first make up for my own defects and eliminate all shortcomings."

"Only then will I be qualified to go further, and ultimately, with my essence, energy, and spirit all advancing together, I will become a flawless 'celestial being' like your master."

"Now my 'qi' and 'shen' are nearing their limits, but my 'jing', which symbolizes the physical body, is still not perfect."

"Therefore, I must first make up for the defects of my physical body and open the 'third eye' that I should have had."

As Li Jingshu gently traced her brow, her words once again shocked Lu Huaijin.

To her even greater shock, as the skin between Li Jingshu's eyebrows split open, a lifelike eye suddenly took shape.

"This this……"

I originally thought that my eye, which was the same as Li Boyang's, was unique.

However, Lu Huaijin never expected that Li Jingshu would also develop a third eye.

"Don't be so surprised, her third eye is not complete."

Just then, Li Boyang, who had been watching the show for a while, finally spoke up again.

"This is the 'Heavenly Eye' which is derived from the Thousand Transformations Divine Power, and it can stimulate the mountain people to awaken the divine power from the Huaijiang witches."

"Of course, your teacher has only temporarily manifested the Heavenly Eye; it is not yet a true awakening."

"She was born with a deficiency, and she still has a long way to go."

The goal is to revert one's own genetic lineage to its ancestral state and optimize it to the most perfect dominant expression state.

Even with the aid of a thousand transformations, this is still quite difficult.

Its difficulty is no less than the "Transformation Method" that Suspended Silk Maiden is still practicing.

"However, her situation is very valuable for you to understand."

"Because in addition to the physical body and vital energy, cognition and temperament also affect the formation of the primordial spirit."

"Given your current situation, forcibly manifesting your primordial spirit will only result in two outcomes."

"Either inner demons will arise, and you'll prematurely transform into a Guhuoniao..."

"Either the spirit and the body repel each other, the primordial spirit retains its identity, while the body is alienated and becomes a Guhuoniao..."

"The worst-case scenario is that your mind is permanently fixed, and you become a child who never grows up."

"So in order to prevent these situations from happening, you must first make up for your own shortcomings."

By this point in the conversation, Li Boyang was giving him special instruction.

His next words were not only directed at Lu Huaijin, who was already impatient, but also a way of instructing Li Jingshu on how to use the Heavenly Eye.

There are no shortcuts to improving cognition and character; you can only wait for yourself to grow up slowly and for your mind to truly mature.

"But there is a shortcut to using the Heavenly Eye. In my own understanding, the use of the Heavenly Eye can be divided into three levels."

"The first level is the mortal eye, but it is enough to give you the supernatural powers of seeing a thousand miles and seeing through things."

"The second level is after the primordial spirit manifests, the heavenly eye, in conjunction with your conscious spirit, can anticipate the enemy's moves and see through the smallest details."

"The third level is the transformation of life energy and the energy of heaven and earth, and then the elixir is refined through nine cycles to create the 'primordial energy' that belongs to you."

"At that time, your third eye will also be affected by that unique 'primordial energy' and undergo further evolution."

"Take my Xuanhuang Qi for example..."

"It then endowed the Heavenly Eye with the ability to break through all laws and illusions, to peer into the heavens above and explore the netherworld below."
