Chapter 1692: Chapter 639: Secret Realm Inheritance
This glance wasn’t ordinary, as it astonished her.
Because this secret technique was surprisingly related to the legendary "External Incarnation" divine skill.
Once this technique is mastered, the divine soul can be split into two, forming another soul division outside the main divine soul.
This divided soul can temporarily leave the cultivator’s own Purple Mansion to take charge of other puppets or corpse refinements, and even the corpses of deceased people and Demon Beasts, controlling these to move and even cultivate!
This method has three levels, corresponding to the Purple Mansion, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul realms.
At the first level, the divided soul can only connect with the main divine soul within a thousand miles and must return to the Purple Mansion for nurturing with the secret technique every year.
Upon reaching the second level, the divided soul can connect with the main divine soul within ten thousand miles and needs to return to the main Purple Mansion every five years.
If one can train to the third level, the divided soul can further evolve into a "Second Nascent Soul," able to freely move even if separated by a hundred thousand miles from the main Nascent Soul, without returning to the main Purple Mansion for nurturing, yet still survive!
This kind of "External Incarnation" divine skill, Zhou Zhiying had only seen mentioned in some miraculous tales within the cultivation world’s classics, treating them as legendary stories.
Unexpectedly, such divine skills truly existed in the world!
For a moment, she was irresistibly drawn to this technique, dedicating her entire mind to the cultivation of this secret technique.
While Zhou Zhiying began earnestly studying and cultivating the "Taichi Separation of Spirits," Zhou Chun was in Tianyuan Immortal City peddling his own gains.
To avoid exposing himself and attracting attention from Thunder Cliff Valley, he didn’t show up personally, but entrusted Zhou Daoyi to handle various Multi-Winged Clan related items.
Although this approach might attract the Multi-Winged Clan’s attention to Zhou Daoyi, he wasn’t worried about it causing much trouble for himself since he wasn’t leaving Tianyuan Immortal City or heading to the Doran Prairie.
Zhou Daoyi’s role in the high-tier cultivator circle of Tianyuan Immortal City was that of a representative arranged here by a certain power.
Thus, when he sold these items, even though many were obviously beyond what someone of his cultivation level could obtain, no one doubted the origin of these things.
After a round of selling, Zhou Daoyi successfully exchanged the Multi-Winged Clan items, which Zhou Chun deemed unimpressive, for elixirs, talismans, and spirit coins worth millions.
Of course, as for those treasures comparable to high-grade magical treasures and peerless dharma treasures, Zhou Chun wasn’t in a rush to sell those.
These items could wait until he reached the Golden Core Late Stage before looking for an opportunity to sell them.
"Zhengchun, you can’t go to the Doran Prairie anymore, so what about Ying’er? Perhaps Hongyu should go to assist her!"
Inside the cave residence, after dealing with the Multi-Winged Clan items that Zhou Chun left with him, Zhou Daoyi spoke with a face full of concern.
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Chun kept shaking his head, saying: "This is inappropriate. I just killed several Great Mages of the Multi-Winged Clan on the prairie. Any unrelated Golden Core Stage cultivator discovered on the prairie might provoke retaliation from the Saint Mages!"
"Sending Great-Aunt Hongyu to the prairie now would be sending her into a lion’s mouth; it must not be done!"
After speaking, he comforted him, saying: "Rest assured, Great-Uncle, with Baibai and Mu Sang accompanying her, as long as she doesn’t encounter a Saint Mage, Ying’er can escape. The reality isn’t as dire as you think."
Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi couldn’t help but smile wryly: "You’re quite patient. This concerns your major matter of transforming elixir and forming an infant!"
"It’s not that I’m patient, I’ve done all that could be done; now I can only wait for the result!"
Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, speaking truthfully.
In fact, compared to the potential dangers Zhou Zhiying might face on her return journey, what troubled Zhou Chun more was whether she could smoothly obtain the inheritance from the master of the secret realm cave.
If something went wrong with this step, even if he were currently at Muli Lake, he could only feel helpless!
In the days that followed, Zhou Chun remained almost entirely recluse in Zhou Daoyi’s cave residence, deeply cultivating and patiently waiting for Zhou Zhiying’s return.
After waiting for two years, Zhou Zhiying had yet to return, but Bai Zhiqing, who had successfully formed her core, emerged to bid farewell to Zhou Chun.
Originally, Bai Zhiqing had been in seclusion for core formation at Tianyuan Immortal City, and had succeeded in forming her core within a decade, consolidating her cultivation and refining her lifebound dharma treasure in the years thereafter.
After refining and nurturing her lifebound dharma treasure, Bai Zhiqing was ready to emerge and continue her travels.
Before departing, she came specifically to express her gratitude to Zhou Chun.
"Taoist Friend Bai, where do you plan to go upon leaving Tianyuan Immortal City this time?"
In the back courtyard of Mingde Trading House, Zhou Chun met Bai Zhiqing and took the opportunity to inquire about her destination.
In the present circumstances, given that Bai Zhiqing had successfully formed her core, her value had significantly increased.
Zhou Chun knew that the newly appointed Golden Core Elder of the Heaven Fire Sect had the opportunity to have Grandmaster Yan Cang craft a personalized dharma treasure for free.
Moreover, if she sought assistance from the sect’s refiner grandmaster, the cost would be much less than soliciting an outsider’s help.
Having shown Bai Zhiqing considerable kindness, Zhou Chun naturally wished to deepen their ties and see if she would allow him that opportunity to have Grandmaster Yan Cang craft an artifact for him!
Zhou Chun knew he had gathered enough spirit materials to forge a high-grade magical treasure; having Grandmaster Yan Cang craft it would guarantee at least one high-grade magical treasure.
