The Eternal Spirit Divine Tree before him was already as thick as an arm, resembling the posture of a pine tree with branches extended and curved.
The leaves were lush and verdant. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Under the sunlight, these leaves seemed like pieces of jade, glistening and smooth.
Chu Zhiyuan was extremely familiar with the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, gently reaching out to touch its trunk.
A feeling of harmony and unity welled up in his heart.
The tree spirit, like a small child, was cheering joyfully, as if reuniting with a long-lost relative.
Chu Zhiyuan played with it for a while with a smile, then asked if it had anything.
Subsequently, a secret manual emerged in his mind.
This was the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture.
Chu Zhiyuan meticulously browsed through this Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture in his mind.
It was different from what he had originally thought.
The Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture was not a comprehensive collection of martial arts but purely a spirit secret technique.
In his original thought, the Yongling Divine Sect was able to keep the soul undying and memories eternal by having a protective shell outside the soul, preventing the soul from dispersing.
But the method of the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture was not .
It was deeper than he had imagined.
Above the soul, there is the Primordial Spirit.
It is the only eternal, imperishable thing in the world.
The human body is but a mass of flesh, so why can it develop intellect and possess a soul?
It is because of the existence of the Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit is the seed of life.
The Primordial Spirit combines with a strand of Yuan Yang in the world, entering into a fetus.
After being nourished by flesh and blood, three souls and seven spirits are born, with intelligence and emotion.
Yuan Yang is the driving force of life.
The operation of flesh and blood consumes Yuan Yang, and when a bit of Yuan Yang is depleted, the lifespan ends, flesh withers, and life concludes.
The Primordial Spirit then departs, seeking another strand of Yuan Yang and enters the next fetus for another life.
Again and again, it is a cycle of reincarnation.
The soul carries memory, and as life disappears, the soul dissipates along with it.
However, the Primordial Spirit is a pure, immaculate entity, devoid of memory.
The practice of the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture is to forge a Reincarnation Divine Seal outside the Primordial Spirit.
The Reincarnation Divine Seal will attach itself outside the Primordial Spirit, leaving the body with it and reincarnating.
This Reincarnation Divine Seal has nine slots, each capable of holding one soul.
Thus, one can reincarnate nine times without losing memory; after nine times, the divine seal is filled with memory and can no longer hold more. At this time, the Yongling Divine Sect will have a sense to find this Divine Son.
The disciple who can forge the divine seal is a Divine Son of the Yongling Divine Sect.
This is the Outer Heaven’s Yongling Divine Sect, and in this world, the so-called Divine Son is the Divine Son from Outer Heaven.
In this world, it’s impossible to forge the divine seal.
There isn’t enough Spiritual Energy, nor the assistance of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.
The Eternal Spirit Divine Tree in this world is entirely different from the one in Outer Heaven.
The Eternal Spirit Divine Tree in this world lacks the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, much like the difference between an infant and a young adult compared to that in Outer Heaven.
Not strong enough, the spiritual charm of the divine tree is insufficient and cannot be perceived.
The cultivation method of the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture is through Visualization, Chanting, and handprints in harmony with the spiritual charm of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head repeatedly after seeing these.
He never thought the cultivation path of the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture would be .
And within the Eternal Spirit Secret Scripture, there is also a recorded Divine Return Secret Technique.
The so-called Divine Return Secret Technique is a method for the disciples of the Yongling Divine Sect, even if they haven’t forged the divine seal or become a Divine Son, to break free of all restraints and return to the Divine Sect after unexpected death.
No matter how far or how tightly bound one is, using this technique, they can instantly return to the Yongling Divine Sect.
It relies on the spiritual charm of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree, allowing immediate arrival.
The spiritual charm of the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree is the most mystical substance in the world, spreading without regard for temporal and spatial constraints.
The Divine Return Secret Technique is a must-learn for all Divine Sect disciples.
Unlike the Reincarnation Divine Seal, it’s not hard to practice; as long as one can sense the spiritual charm and harmonize it, they can easily master it.
In this world, the difficulty lies in the fact that the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree is not strong enough, making it hard to comprehend the spiritual charm.
Compared to the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree’s charm in Outer Heaven, which is like a blazing torch, in this world, it is like a small lamp, so faint it’s almost undetectable.
Chu Zhiyuan pondered over this Divine Return Secret Technique.
If he mastered it, would he be able to ascend directly?
Then his soul would ascend directly to the Yongling Divine Sect in Outer Heaven.
What would the Yongling Divine Sect do?
Would they see him as a wandering ghost and simply eliminate him?
After all, he was not a Divine Son.
He pondered for a moment and thought it might be worth a try, of course, using the Sword Soul as a test first.
Now the Sword Soul’s intelligence is not enough, but if he extinguishes all the Evil Sect, it might be enough.
By then, the Sword Soul would be his true Body Outer Form, capable of independent existence, without needing frequent adjustment from him.
With this thought, his spirits lifted.
Besides the Divine Return Secret Technique, there is also the Body Seizing technique and the reincarnation technique.
Chu Yi saw him standing under the tree in deep thought and didn’t disturb him. At this moment, seeing him smile at the corner of his mouth, she couldn’t help but ask.
Chu Zhiyuan looked up at her.
Chu Yi, dressed in a green robe, put down her watering can, curiously asked, "Big brother, did the meeting with the Imperial Grandfather not go well?"
"Why do you say that?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
Chu Yi shook her head: "Just a feeling."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "It went well, relatively smoothly."
"But you don’t look too good... Does the Imperial Grandfather not want you to be Emperor?"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Hmm, this Emperor probably won’t be passed down to me."
"Then, to whom shall it be passed?"
"But Uncle Ten is not a Great Grandmaster."
"Not now, but in the future, he will become a Great Grandmaster."
"...If Uncle Ten becomes a Great Grandmaster, then indeed it would be passed to him." Chu Yi tilted her head and thought.
If Uncle Ten becomes a Great Grandmaster, with his achievements and prestige, the Emperor’s Sword would surely acknowledge him.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at her calmly and smiled: "Not disappointed?"
Chu Yi replied: "This is also pretty good, not much difference."
She always stayed in the Prince Mansion and didn’t like going out; whether her big brother became Emperor or not made no difference.
Even if he were not Emperor, he would still hold high positions and power in the future, much like now.
Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "It’s good that you think so."
"As long as our family stays together, that’s enough," Chu Yi said. "Becoming Emperor might not even be a good thing."
Once becoming Emperor, a family could no longer be as close as they are now.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, patting her shoulder.
Chu Yi giggled: "Big brother, you’re quite disappointed, aren’t you?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "A bit disappointed, perhaps, but Uncle Ten becoming Emperor wouldn’t be bad either."
"Yes, Uncle Ten is not an outsider," said Chu Yi.
She cautiously observed Chu Zhiyuan’s expression, seeing him alright but still somewhat worried.
Everyone expected her big brother to be the next Emperor, but in the end, it was Uncle Ten who took the position.
There would be much ridicule then, and that would be unpleasant to bear, with her big brother taking the brunt.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "Alright, not becoming this Emperor is no big deal, I might as well act freely and be an ordinary Great Grandmaster."
Chu Yi was instantly in strong agreement.
Chu Zhiyuan stood on the peak opposite the main altar of the Zhenhua Sect.
The sun was setting in the west.
He stood atop a massive rock on the mountain, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, quietly watching the opposite side.
Suddenly, a figure floated over.
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at him.
It was a handsome young man, with a proud expression, his gaze intently inspecting Chu Zhiyuan and Zou Fang beside him.
Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.
Unexpectedly, it was a Great Grandmaster.
Although he just broke through to Great Grandmaster, his Realm was still low.
But to become a Great Grandmaster at less than thirty, even using the Sacrifice Technique, the talent was really astonishing.
