Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 167 The Truth Behind Cultivation Wisdom Miasma and Malevolent Aura Supernatural Powers

Since settling down in Black Mountain, Li Jieqing has spent the last three years sitting in his quiet room examining the two power transmission stone tablets over and over again, memorizing all the methods for combining evil energy and supernatural powers, and reading through the messages and teachings of the Golden Core True Monarchs.

But the more I looked at it, the less I understood it.

At first, I was amazed by these evil aura supernatural powers. To cultivate at the Foundation Establishment stage and refine evil aura into supernatural powers was truly a feat of heaven and earth.

After reading them all, he felt that they were full of flaws and that he could do it himself, so he simply wrote a new method for combining cultivation techniques to avoid any hidden dangers in practicing other people's supernatural powers.

After memorizing much of the information on the stone tablet.

Looking at what he had written again, he wondered what kind of nonsense he had produced.

Why not directly cultivate to the Golden Core True Monarch level? How dare a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator fabricate his own secret techniques for combining evil spirits...?

Li Jieqing knew that he had gone astray and fallen into the trap of misconceptions in spiritual practice.

He spent three years in seclusion in Black Mountain. To be precise, he had rarely had a moment to catch his breath or rest in the nearly forty years since he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, since the arrival of the Seven Immortals on Xiaoxin Island, and even after the White Tiger's rampage.

Spiritual practice still requires a balance of intensity and relaxation, lest one become dull-witted.

After emerging from seclusion, Li Jieqing arranged for Huang Chong to go to the large cave to investigate the underground of Black Mountain, and then lay down by the small pond.

He did nothing but take out a thick book of stories and miscellaneous books and read it without any intention of learning anything, simply relaxing and immersing himself in it.

When hungry, drink a cup; when tired, lie down and sleep; after a short rest, continue doing nothing and slowly read a book.

Since becoming a vampire after reaching the third level of Qi Refining, I no longer need to go to the Five Grains Reincarnation Land, which is a benefit.

He's really not far from becoming an immortal.

……

This went on for seven or eight days.

That day, Li Jieqing woke up from a nap, turned to the last page of a thick storybook, got up like an ordinary person, stretched, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh no... He said he was going to research the blood wine recipe, but he's gone to read a storybook again."

Li Jieqing smiled, closed the storybook with its vivid illustrations of the cultivation world, and casually placed it on the table.

Everything inside the cave was as usual, and Huang Chong, who had just gotten a new job, did not forget to take care of it.

Li Jieqing wandered around the cave with his hands behind his back, but did not show himself outside Black Mountain. After wandering around, he returned to the small pond, took a deep breath of the fragrance of green lotus, and felt refreshed. Then he went back to the meditation room.

Quiet room.

Two stone tablets for transmitting skills were placed on either side of the futon, standing there like screens. One could view the information recorded within them simply by using one's divine sense.

While the contents may not encompass all the foundation-building scriptures of the Blood Heart Sect, they are more than sufficient to guide Li Jieqing into the path of foundation-building cultivation.

Li Jieqing picked up the scattered papers one by one, took them to the side of the prayer mat, and compared them with the two stone tablets for transmitting skills, checking for any omissions or errors.

Over the past three years, he has been practicing the foundational chapter of the newly acquired "Secret Record of Blood Heart Freedom," and his magical power has made some progress.

However, he is still only at the level of someone who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

The path of cultivation becomes increasingly slow as one progresses, requiring arduous cultivation day after day. Even cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as quickly as those in the Qi Refining stage, let alone Li Jieqing.

Since it is difficult to make a breakthrough in magical power in a short period of time, one must be extremely cautious when choosing to condense evil energy into the body.

According to the summary of the inscription on the Transmission Stone Tablet, a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment can only contain a maximum of two streams of malevolent energy. Any more than that and the malevolent energy will backfire and conflict within the body.

The middle stage of foundation building can accommodate the third layer, and the later stage of foundation building can accommodate the fourth layer.

Foundation Establishment cultivators absorb the malevolent energy of heaven and earth for their own use; the four paths are their limit.

This applies to all schools of Buddhism, with few exceptions.

Li Jieqing has already refined his Blood Fiend into his body, which means that he can only choose three more Fiend Qi to enter his body during the entire Foundation Establishment period. Now that he is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he can only choose one more Fiend Qi.

Having finally obtained the Devouring Spirit Fiend, we naturally want to find a way to use it.

Moreover, the stone tablet containing the transmission of power contains several methods for cultivating supernatural powers by combining blood and devouring evil, which can be observed at will.

It was just the words of the Fairy of Luxury and Colors from the past that caused this trouble.

The methods transmitted by those who cultivate the Golden Elixir involve being controlled by others, and it is also mentioned that it is difficult to break through to the Golden Elixir stage.

In addition, Li Jieqing had been searching through the thousands of chapters in the two stone tablets that transmitted the power, but he still could not find a blood demon similar to the blood demon in his body.

There are seventy-two categories of evil energy, each of which is divided into yin and yang, and further subdivided according to their different properties.

If Li Jieqing didn't understand this clearly, how could he dare to practice recklessly?

This is why, out of desperation, he tried to design a new divine power by combining the Blood Clan's Blood Fiend and the Spirit Devouring Fiend, based on the various combined cultivation techniques within the Transmission Stone Tablet.

After three years of agonizing thought and thousands of sheets of waste paper, he was still stuck at the critical juncture of the alchemy process.

If even theoretical deductions cannot be performed, how can one talk about condensing evil spirits into the body for practical application?

"Having been stuck for so long, I still can't come up with a sequel to the emergence of supernatural powers. Let's try a different approach now."

Li Jieqing re-entered the pass and read through the half-finished method of combined cultivation word by word before immersing his consciousness into the transmission stone tablet.

I have read the contents of this stone tablet many times before. Now I will just try to summarize them and explain the evil energy and supernatural powers from the source.

Li Jieqing pondered for a moment.

What is meant by "煞气神通" (Sha Qi Shen Tong)?

The malevolent energy is born of heaven and earth; only by drawing upon the power of heaven and earth can it possess boundless power.

When a cultivator subdues the malevolent energy and integrates it into their body, refining it in pairs, they must reclaim the power of the malevolent energy before it can be considered a success and they can borrow the power of the world again.

In short, this supernatural power needs to be directed towards heaven and earth, and its name needs to be registered in heaven and earth before it can be considered finally completed.

Having previously cultivated the Invisible Heavenly Sword and affixed the Golden Body of the Taiping Sword to the Supreme Emperor Heaven, coupled with the numerous methods of combining evil energy and supernatural powers from the Blood Heart Sect laid out before him, Li Jieqing had gradually come to understand their intricacies.

The cultivator steals two streams of malevolent energy from heaven and earth, conceals them, then combines them to create a stronger and more suitable divine power for himself, before releasing it into the world to cleanse his name.

During the emergence of malevolent energy and supernatural powers, there is a natural interaction between heaven and earth, resulting in calamities.

Having concealed it from heaven and earth, the evil aura and supernatural powers were successfully cleansed of their evil nature and made available for use by cultivators.

Unable to conceal it from heaven and earth, the evil energy and supernatural powers collapsed, and no matter how perfectly the yin and yang evil within the body were combined before that, it was all useless.

If one cannot even cultivate supernatural powers, how can one talk about cultivating to the Foundation Establishment stage?

The Blood Heart Clan is a large and powerful family. In order to facilitate the cultivation of its Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Golden Core True Monarch has promulgated various methods.

As long as you subdue the two evil energies and successfully cultivate the combined refining divine power passed down by the Golden Core True Lord, you can direct the evil energy divine power not towards heaven and earth, nor attach it to heaven and earth, but directly towards the Golden Core True Lord's inner vision and attach it to the Golden Core True Lord's inner vision when the divine power is born!

As a result, the success rate of cultivating evil energy supernatural powers increases greatly, and by affiliating with the Golden Core True Monarch, one can also borrow the power of heaven and earth.

If one cannot find any evil energy, one can even ask a Golden Core True Lord to bestow a false evil spirit.

Although he cultivated the false spirit's evil energy, he was basically bound to that Golden Core True Monarch from then on, and could not change it.

However, the benefits of the false spirit are numerous. It is inherently gentle, unlike the violent spirit of heaven and earth. In fact, once a cultivator obtains it and incorporates it into their body, they can directly use a bit of the power of the Golden Core True Monarch corresponding to the false spirit, unlike the condensed spirit of heaven and earth, which, unless one cultivates supernatural powers, must be constantly suppressed and is difficult to use.

"The evil spirit of false spirits, the evil spirit of heaven and earth."

"A Golden Core cultivator uses their own heart to represent the will of Heaven... I didn't know it could be interpreted in this way!"

At this moment, Li Jieqing did not think about the methods he had compiled, but instead, with a commanding perspective, examined the cultivation of the evil energy supernatural powers in the entire Foundation Establishment realm.

"The supernatural powers cultivated are directed towards Golden Core cultivators, rely on Golden Core cultivators to be formed, and are naturally controlled by Golden Core cultivators. They can be severed at any time. Although I don't know what benefits a Golden Core cultivator would gain from accepting a Foundation Establishment cultivator as an affiliation, it's no wonder that Fairy Shecai calls this a pseudo-supernatural power and is full of disgust."

"On the contrary, those malevolent magical abilities that directly target heaven and earth and can successfully deceive them are probably the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques she mentioned?"

Li Jieqing put down the half-finished supernatural power he had compiled, sat back on the futon, and pressed his brow with one hand.

He cleared away a lot of confusion and obstacles in his cultivation in a short time.

But then more problems arose.

Ultimately, the evil aura supernatural power needs to find a target to target and borrow the power of heaven and earth again.

Leaving aside how to combine and refine the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques which have no shadow, the Golden Core True Monarchs of the Blood Heart Sect should all be dead by now. If the supernatural powers in the Transmission Stone Tablet have truly been cultivated, it is unknown who they should be pointing to.

Moreover, all of these factors still cannot explain the origin of his bloodline.

unless……

A long silence followed in the quiet room.

Until a certain moment, Li Jieqing released his grip, a glimmer of clarity flashing in his eyes.

"There's no need to overthink it; re-entering the country isn't about getting stuck on this old problem again!"

"According to the summary on the stone tablet, the evil energy in the world is endless and self-generating. It is not the kind of evil energy that the Golden Core True Lord can condense in the so-called inner vision. It is because all things have spirits and even inanimate objects have a glimmer of life. A certain evil energy has become a spirit and transformed into human form."

"I am naturally not some kind of evil spirit that has become a spirit. Although this blood evil is one with me and is constantly condensing in my heart, it is almost the same as evil spirit becoming a spirit..."

"However, if we say that this Blood Fiend is a pseudo-spiritual fiend of a Golden Core cultivator, then it makes even more sense! After I subdued the Devouring Spirit Fiend, its power was completely dissipated, and it was difficult to use unless the suppression was lifted. But this Blood Fiend is as easy to control as an extension of my arm, and I can drive it at will. Its power is fully restored, just like the fiendish energy of heaven and earth that has never been subdued. This is exactly the image of a pseudo-spiritual fiend of a Golden Core cultivator. Using it for combined refining will yield twice the result with half the effort!"

"I was too cautious; I never dared to even consider the possibility of a Golden Core cultivator!"

"What harm is there in merely conducting an experiment? Simply incorporate a few wisps of Devouring Spirit into your body and fuse them; at worst, it will take more time to separate them later!"

"How could I lack time!"

Li Jieqing took a deep breath, made his decision and did not hesitate any longer, taking out the Soul Devouring Fiend Nether Light Pearl that he had been suppressing.

At this moment, the mental fog that had hampered his spiritual practice began to dissipate.
