Chapter 18: Mental Choices

"Is it fate, tell me your method?" Chenxi was actually a little moved, in his opinion, being able to meet Bai Ze and start the path of cultivation in this era of the end of the Dharma was an incredible thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info He is young now, and his desire for immortality is not too strong, but he is more curious about the unknown level, and if he plans it properly, he doesn't mind giving it a go.

"The gluttonous exercises were originally used by me to strengthen your physique. Although its origin originated from the gluttony of ancient divine beasts, it was a modified practice by the human race, so it is suitable for your cultivation!" Bai Ze seemed to be saying something unrelated. "Its real name is "Witch Formula", but I don't like this name very much, so I habitually call it "Gluttonous Secret Record". ā€

"Witch Formula, you shouldn't tell me anything about the Twelve Ancestors and Witches, it's something processed by the modern Internet, and there is no mythological basis!" Dawn laughed.

"Twelve Ancestral Witches? What the hell is that? Witches are a kind of cultivation method of the ancient human race in Kyushu, which corresponds to the cultivation method of Zhen. If it weren't for the time period when I followed the Yellow Emperor, it would be the time when the conflict between the beliefs of Wu and Zhen was the most intense, and I didn't know much about the exercises of your human race. ā€

"Zhen?" Dawn seemed to have heard that call somewhere.

"The ancient human race has two ways to strengthen it, the witch who strengthens the qi and blood and the Zhen who strengthens the spiritual power. Wu learned techniques to enhance his physique from various ancient beasts. And Zhen learned the skills of elemental mastery from mythical life. Bai Ze explained.

Chenxi finally remembered where she had heard the title of "Zhen", in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, all soothsayers began with the word "Zhen", which seems to be a sign of a priesthood.

"Then is the "Witch Formula" the practice of witchcraft?"

"It's not that simple. The magic of the Wu clan comes from ferocious beasts, and in the era of abundant spiritual energy in ancient times, it is still relatively insufficient compared to Zhen, who is good at elemental manipulation. In a large-scale war conflict later on the part of the Terrans, the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan captured a young man and recruited him as his retinue when he was smart and studious. The boy devoted himself to the study of chastity by Xuanyuan's side, and fused with his own witchcraft. In the end, he started with the Devouring Skill of Warcraft Gluttony, which can convert flesh and blood life into elements, and reversely deduced a method that can devour elements to strengthen the flesh, and then fled back to his tribe. ā€

"Chiyou?" Chenxi was taken aback, after the Battle of Hanquan in ancient times, Chiyou, who was originally affiliated with the Yandi tribe, was captured by the Yellow Emperor. There have been records of this in history, but I didn't expect there to be such privacy behind it.

"That's right, it's called Chiyou. The exercise he perfected was the "Witch Formula". In the end, he was defeated, and the Yellow Emperor wanted to use his corpse to establish his authority, but his flesh and blood were so strong that he couldn't cut anything. Later, he specially cast a sword with the gas of Gengjin before he split the corpse to demonstrate the world. That scene, bleeding into a pool, the flesh and blood of the human race can be strengthened to that extent. Therefore, although the Yellow Emperor ordered the destruction of the "Witch Formula", I still got a copy for research. ā€

"Muscles are more than steel, bleeding is overflowing", Dawn has always felt that this is an exaggeration in ancient mythology, but now it seems that it is true. "If the magic formula is so powerful, why not promote it?"

"The consequences of this enhancement are disaster for chastity in pursuit of body elementalization, how can he promote it. And this exercise still carries a lot of hidden dangers from the perspective of Chiyou itself. ā€

"Hidden danger?" Chenxi was startled, knowing that he was now cultivating this one.

"You're still early!" Bai Ze said disdainfully. "This exercise will continue to grow the physical body, which will make the elementalization of the body extremely difficult, and even impossible. Moreover, with the over-strengthening of the physical body, the growth of the soul lags relatively behind, when this strengthening exceeds the limit of the soul's control. The uncontrollable flesh begins to become irrepressibly dense, and this dense muscle is like an exoskeleton, strong but not suitable for the growth of the soul. ā€

"That means that even the brain has been trained into muscles!" Dawn felt terrifying when she thought about that scene. Legend has it that the Chiyou brothers are all steely bodies with copper heads and iron foreheads, and it is thought that this kind of mutated musculature similar to an exoskeleton is thought to be.

"But we have the possibility to solve this problem. Bai Ze looked confident. "I have a deep understanding of the fragments of the soul law in Kyushu, and on this basis, I have created a technique that can forge the soul, although it is only basic, but it can also lay a solid foundation for you and avoid an imbalance in the growth of the body and soul. With two phases of stimulation, you can get a soul growth technique that has no negative effects, which is enough to make your strength cross the mythical realm. ā€

"What about the follow-up? What should I do after I've passed the foundation stage?"

"The druid's soul exercise is the follow-up, the essence of the soul exercise is to transform the physical brain domain to stimulate the evolution of the soul, and different laws will correspond to different parts. I have a hunch that with the particularity of the human race, if your brain domain can be fully stimulated, then the growth of the soul will definitely be unstoppable. The strengthening of the flesh will be an aid rather than a restriction or threat. Bai Ze's tone was even a little excited. "Dawn, agree. This is the most perfect path I have known for thousands of years. It is no longer like your ancient Terran exercises, it is just a change in form, and it promotes the leap and evolution of the life level. Eventually, this evolution will also open the door to the evolution of your soul, which is an unattainable opportunity for countless mythical beings at the top of life!"

ā€œ...... You let me think about it again......" Dawn thought for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind. What Bai Ze said was almost all speculation, even if he wanted to live a bright future, it would take great courage to take a path that had never been taken before.

Entering the castle, finding a squire to guide you, and re-entering the corridors covered with oil paintings, Dawn silently traces the traces of history from the perspective of a bystander. Thinking of the legendary Chinese Xia military god Chi You's exercises, after more than 5,000 years away, he was learned and inherited by a nobody. His mood slowly settled, the guest room was far away, and Chenxi couldn't help but smile. There, a relative-like woman is waiting for news of herself.

"Lao Bai, sum it up, I'll accompany you to make a bet. Inherited the cultivation path of the fusion of the military master and Bai Ze, how enjoyable is it not to toss the world upside down. He put his hand on the doorknob and paused slightly. "If you want to catch up with the group of madmen of the ancient gods, I am afraid that it will not be possible if you don't gamble on fate. However, if I have a bad pool, for the sake of our relationship, help me take care of my father and Aunt Yun, I will worry about these two. ā€

"Peace of mind, no matter whether they succeed or fail, I will give them an eternal life!"

Chenxi smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Childe, are you back, I heard that unreliable knight say that you recognized a teacher?" As soon as he entered the door, Wang Yun, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's my father's previous arrangement, the duke's attitude towards us is a little too good, it seems that there are some situations behind us that we don't understand. But for now, it seems that everything is fine. Chenxi replied to the Tao while recounting the events of the day to Wang Yun, but only crossed over Bai Ze's part.

"What? are you going out, or are you going to do asceticism. This can't be done, how old are you, Morey's heart is too big, you have to do something, how can I explain it to my wife!" Wang Yun was completely opposed to Dawn's druid journey. In her opinion, Dawn is like her own child, and it is pitiful enough to let him leave his hometown. Now she has to choose the kind of asceticism like a wild man, which she will never accept.

To put it mildly, Dawn persuaded this half of the mother who had entered the state. Nothing else, with Chenxi's current strength, he is also considered a leader among today's regular cultivators, if it weren't for the idea of breaking his wrists with the gods of the Middle Ages, he would also like to choose a plain path that has no quarrel with the world. But now that there are strong enemies, the family is restless, the father and son are helpless, and the catastrophe of the end of the law is close at hand, where can he live a peaceful life. "Life is really forced out!" Dawn sighed silently.

One night in Wang Yun's endless nagging sound, in the early morning of the second day, Chenxi looked at the still somewhat dark sky, quietly got up, did not move the luggage prepared by Wang Yun, but took away the identity certificate issued by the duke to himself. It was all Wang Yun's request to the Pendragon family, and the other party could be regarded as responding to it, but the more this was the case, the more suspicious Dawn became of this uncle who appeared inexplicably. If the other party is really as close to his father as he said, his father will definitely leave a hint or something. But now, Chenxi, who has lived on the dark side of the ancient clan since she was a child, doesn't believe that a person who has reached the pinnacle of power still has any affection at all.

Aside from the usual talisman pack and the Demon Breaker Messiah, Dawn didn't bring anything else. There was no intention to disturb Wang Yun, so he walked towards the tree house at the edge of the forest in the shadow of dawn.

The humid air of the island nation was not yet a little used to the morning light, and the mist shrouded the ancient forest, creating the illusion of a black dream. Outside the lonely treehouse, the old druid, who was an early riser, was already cooking food in a large spherical pot. The eerie atmosphere is somewhat like a wizard who was once hung up and burned to death in the Middle Ages.

"Teacher Lorraine, in the morning, are we going to leave immediately?" Having chosen the road, Dawn's mood was now particularly cheerful. I look forward to the hard work that follows more than I am afraid.

"Oh, come over for a bowl of porridge first, kid. The journey is very long, so we don't have to rush too much. Old Lorraine greeted gently. For a cultivator like him with a high degree of body elementalization, lifespan and time are no longer a big problem, but all kinds of experiences and insights from life and special opportunities are what they value more.
