Ninety-four The Instrument of Evil
Therefore, some people proposed: Can we use the natural avenue of heaven and earth to reproduce, so that the magic weapon can be "born" like giving birth to a child, instead of relying solely on the mana of the immortal cultivator. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info This theory itself is not wrong, in addition to refining tools in the six arts of Xianmen, the elixir has more applications of this theory: alchemy has the method of "wood refining" and "beast refining": it is to use raw materials to cultivate special plants, or feed rare birds and beasts, so that the elixir will eventually "grow" in the form of fruits, poultry eggs or spirit fetus, which is also one of the orthodox avenues of Danshu.
However, as with all immortal Dao methods, no matter how brilliant the theory is, if it is used by evil people, it will also become unrecognizable - in the past, the evil Dao faction "Ghost White Bone Sect" applied this method of refining weapons to the extreme: they grabbed those mortal women who had a slight talent for cultivating immortals - it would be better if they were immortal cultivators. Then, while trying to make her pregnant, put a certain artifact embryo into her body, so that it grows with the fetus in her womb, stealing the first ray of mystery that gives new life to heaven and earth.
In this process, of course, various means such as drugs and evil arts are used to refine the things in the woman's womb, but these operations do not require much divine soul mana, and even low-level qi refiners can do it. And in the end, when the refining was almost complete, and before this artifact was about to appear, the White Bone Sect did not even let go of the woman herself as the mother......
-- After ordinary ritual artifacts are made, they are just dead things, and they have no spirituality. Manipulation is all driven by the monk's divine sense, so usually only monks who have reached the middle stage or above and are able to release their divine consciousness can use it freely. However, the White Bone Sect made a "one-step move" for those magic weapons cultivated with the human body: when it was tempered and the first enlightenment sacrifice was carried out, it used the most cruel method to torture its mother to death, extracted the soul, and forced it into the artifact to form a tool spirit with secret methods, and finally created a "soul path magic weapon" with spirituality and a certain ability to move independently, or a "horcrux" came out.
The threshold for using Horcruxes is very low: as long as the user has a little mana to activate it, and use the exorcism technique to control the soul in it, so as not to let it back, it can be used freely. Even a Heavy Heaven Minor Cultivator who has just stepped into the Qi Refining Period can use it - of course, the realm is too low, the divine soul mana is insufficient, but the control time is very short, it is inevitable. But as long as you find the right opportunity and solve the opponent in a short time, it doesn't matter. In addition, due to the influence of the souls in the artifact, the Horcrux's attacks are quite "automatic": it can basically be seen as "fire and leave it alone". Without the master's distraction, he can exert all his strength to chase and kill the target, and in this regard, it is a bit close to the magic weapon, and ordinary magic weapons are really not comparable.
The Ghost White Bone Sect once relied on this secret technique, and once developed the scale of the sect to a very large scale, and the combat effectiveness of the disciples under the sect was also quite good-the products that people could only manufacture in the Fa Yuan period, and their qi refiners could produce them in batches, and that quantity and scale were by no means at one level. As for the weapons that other Immortal Sect disciples can only equip until above the Four Heavens, they have them at the beginning, although they are only weakened versions, this layer of advantage is also extremely huge.
However, the White Bone Sect was eventually destroyed - they acted so brutally and viciously that it was only natural that they would be jointly killed by the Righteous Path Immortal Sect. Although the Horcrux secret art they mastered was very advantageous in all aspects, it was only effective among low-level monks. The high-level power that really determines the status of the Xianmen is not something that can be exchanged for throwing away the conscience of human nature.
ββEven if it had tens of thousands of Qi Refining Cultivators who could use Horcruxes in a single sect, what if the top Jindan power in the sect was killed, the elite of the Fa Yuan was killed, and no matter how many low-level cultivators were left, they would only be trampled on with one foot. Moreover, due to the inhumane behavior of the disciples of the White Bone Sect, and the other immortal sects did not talk about any moral rules to them, the Jindan period of the Fa Yuan period directly rushed up and slashed and killed the qi refining disciples of the White Bone Sect, no matter how many people there were, they were no more than ants.
However, although the White Bone Sect as a sect was destroyed, due to the large scale and the number of people, the rest of the sins fled in all directions, but instead spread the production method of the soul path magic weapon in the immortal cultivation world - in addition to the fact that the production process was too cruel and greatly violated human nature, this kind of equipment was actually very practical in all aspects: the production and use were far simpler than the regular magic weapons, and the "raw materials" were never scarce. The only drawback is that the power is weaker than that of authentic magic weapons - because they are to be grown in the human body, the basic materials of the Horcrux cannot use those inactive materials, such as gold, jade and gemstones, and most of them can only use human and animal bones or plants and trees, which are more limited in materials. At the same time, since the spirit is transformed by the ghost, it is not very flexible in the sunlight - but it does not mean that it cannot be used during the day, but it is just that it does not perform well under the sun, and it will not be affected if you find a dark place.
And most importantly, these horcruxes are conceived from the human body with the help of the power of natural reproduction. There is a limit to its power, and once that limit is reached, it is impossible to increase it again. It's like when humans give birth, even if the parents are immortals, the babies born will always be just mortals at first, and it is impossible to become immortals directly.
Therefore, although the miscellaneous monks on the West Kunlun Mountain have also studied the relevant technology, they plan to use its principle to see if they can use livestock to mass-produce it as a weakened version of the simple magic weapon for low-level disciples to use--if animals replace humans, it will not be so shocking.
However, after the final test results, I decided to give up. Because even using animals feels too cruel. Moreover, compared with the regular magic weapons, there is a considerable gap between the Horcruxes made in this way, that is, they can have some advantages in the early stage of qi refining, and the more they go to the back, the greater the gap. For the disciples of Kunlun Mountain, who have a high general realm and have no shortage of equipment to use, it does not make much sense.
However, Kunlun and other immortal sects with strong family backgrounds can't look down on them, but for the thousands of low-level monks in the mortal world who are struggling between life and death at any time, this is a very small number of equipment that they can completely self-control, and they are also passable in terms of power and effectiveness, at least stronger than talismans. And in order to improve their strength, many people don't even care about their own lives, and it's someone else's.
As a result, the "Soul Dao Magic Weapon" finally flourished among low-level cultivators, and the varieties and patterns became more and more numerous - of course, limited to evil cultivators. Anyone in the Immortal Cultivation Realm who has a slight sense of justice will definitely be killed if they see someone using a Horcrux. Because in each Horcrux, there is at least one pair of mothers and children's souls - so most of the Horcruxes are named after "children and mothers": such as "children and mothers Yin Soul Nail", "Children and Mother through the bone awl", "Children and mothers save the heart stab", "Children and mothers lock soul hammers", ...... And so on.
