Chapter 577 - 322: Eight-Nine Evil Technique, Refined Skill! (Part 2)
’Reached a lifespan of thirty thousand years, but when does it become true immortality?’
Su Que thought to himself.
Even a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, or even a million years, is merely longevity, not immortality.
Strict immortality means eternal existence.
And this requires a fundamental transformation in life.
’I wonder if the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain have achieved immortality.’
However, he still has over thirty thousand years of lifespan, plenty of time to pursue the realm of immortality.
Su Que pondered for a while, then took out several bottles of elixirs from his storage pouch and swallowed them.
During this time, he had acquired many storage pouches.
In each storage pouch, every cultivator concealed celestial medicine and elixirs.
These celestial medicines and elixirs, some were precious, while others had relatively little efficacy.
Su Que paid no attention and consumed them all.
As the elixirs entered his stomach, his abdomen began to burn fiercely.
Waves of medicinal power surged from his abdomen, flowing to other parts of Su Que’s body.
After his physical body strengthened, his absorption of medicinal power also improved.
The elixirs were quickly digested, transforming into medicinal power that flowed through his veins.
Taking advantage of the medicinal power, he immediately began to operate the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique," using the karmic force from the Lifebound Demon Seed to cultivate.
As the karmic force surged from the Lifebound Demon Seed, guided by the power of the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique," it merged into his flesh.
Immediately, purple-black vapor rose around him, a sign of abundant karmic force.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, entangled in heavy karmic force, their body would surely be greatly damaged.
However, Su Que could reverse the side effects.
This entangling karmic force not only didn’t harm his body but also nourished it.
As he cultivated the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique," his remaining lifespan continued to increase.
Su Que absorbed the medicinal power quickly and used it just as fast.
Because the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique" is an Upper Level Heaven-Reaching Technique, it is relatively rare in the Upper Realm.
So, to speed up the cultivation of the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique," one must consume a considerable amount of elixirs.
After cultivating for some time, Su Que paused, took out celestial medicine and elixirs from the storage pouch, and consumed them.
Because the technique level of the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique" is high, the further he trains, the more difficult it becomes.
Su Que’s current "Eight-Nine Evil Technique" has reached the 4th Realm Elite.
Many cultivators practicing the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" stop advancing once they reach this realm.
Only a very few can continue to train the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" to master the Seventy-Two Transformations.
However, Su Que does not encounter the situation of being stuck.
As long as he cultivates, he can definitely practice any cultivation technique, though it may take more time.
Moreover, the increase in his lifespan will enhance his talent value.
This will result in an increase in his cultivation speed.
He won’t be like most cultivators who have to train for hundreds or even thousands or tens of thousands of years to elevate a technique by one realm.
Otherwise, how could he, at the mere age of twenty-one, ascend to the Upper Realm and contend with those old guys who have lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?
In the ensuing period, Su Que continually cultivated the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique," periodically taking celestial medicine and elixirs from his storage pouch to consume.
Before he knew it, a month and a half had passed.
Fortunately, Tianzang Monk and his disciples had accumulated a significant amount of karmic force in their bodies, enough to sustain Su Que’s cultivation for such a long period.
For the month and a half, Su Que sat cross-legged in the cave, doing nothing but taking medicine.
Given his current physical fitness, he didn’t need to eat, drink, defecate, or urinate.
In this month and a half, he truly understood what "Death Sealing" means.
A person remains in one place, as if a dead person remains in one place forever.
However, for other cultivators, "Death Sealing" often means being sealed to "death."
Progress becomes "dead," and the mind also becomes "dead."
Some cultivators even regress instead of making progress after coming out of seclusion.
Moreover, some cultivators experience Qigong Deviation due to impatience while in seclusion, leading to their death.
Su Que gained a lot from his month-long retreat.
He glanced at his attributes.
Eight-Nine Evil Technique (4th Realm Elite 99%) [Upper Level Heaven-Reaching Technique]
The Eight-Nine Evil Technique is on the verge of a breakthrough!
He glanced at his attributes again.
Remaining lifespan: 35316
Due to the reversal of side effects from cultivating the Eight-Nine Evil Technique, his lifespan has extended by over two thousand years in this month and a half.
’Not much karmic force remains, but I’m about to break through.’
Su Que focused his mind and continued cultivating.
Soon, a new force erupted within his body, infusing into his flesh and spirit.
The "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" focuses on cultivating the flesh primarily, with the spirit as a secondary focus.
Thus, the enhancement from the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique," modified from the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique," will more greatly benefit the body.
Eight-Nine Evil Technique (5th Realm Refining Skill 1%) [Upper Level Heaven-Reaching Technique]
After reaching the 5th Realm Refining Skill in the Eight-Nine Evil Technique, he felt his body was more resilient and flexible.
’I wonder about the effectiveness of obscuring the heavenly mysteries?’
Su Que immediately operated the Eight-Nine Evil Technique.
Instantly, mist rose thickly around him.
Previously, when the Eight-Nine Evil Technique was at the 4th Realm Elite, this mist was white.
But now, this mist was tinged with grey, giving a sense of chaos.
Su Que operated the Eight-Nine Evil Technique with all his might; the mist grew denser, gradually covering him.
He found that after reaching the 5th Realm Refining Skill 1%, the mist could obscure sixty percent of his body.
’I wonder if this sixty percent of mist, combined with this snow mountain, can prevent the Spirit Mountain cultivators from using Destiny Communication on me?’
Su Que thought to himself.
However, during this time, he indeed felt nothing.
Perhaps the Spirit Mountain cultivator who used "Destiny Communication" on him earlier was too busy to use it again.
Or perhaps, because he was in the snow mountain, the Spirit Mountain cultivator couldn’t sense him even if they used "Destiny Communication" again.
’It’s been a month and a half, and I haven’t ventured to the Lower Realm to acquire more karmic force.’
’Being one of the two major forces in the Upper Realm, Spirit Mountain often makes enemies. Hopefully, with new enemies, they’ll gradually forget about me.’
Su Que thought with a bit of luck.
After pondering for a moment, he refocused his mind and continued cultivating the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique."
There was still some karmic force left in his Lifebound Demon Seed; he wanted to use it all and train the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique" as high as possible.
Immediately, he activated the "Eight-Nine Evil Technique" again.
Once more, purple-black mist swirled around him.
Five days later, Su Que finally exhausted all the karmic force.
Eight-Nine Evil Technique (5th Realm Refining Skill 8%) [Upper Level Heaven-Reaching Technique]
During this time, besides the karmic force from Tianzang Monk and the others, he also gained some from the beliefs in the Small World.
However, that karmic force was gradually decreasing.
This was because the Spirit Mountain cultivators kept destroying the beliefs he had left behind.
Only the few unclaimed Small Worlds still provided him with karmic force.
However, the karmic force provided by these unclaimed Small Worlds over a month and a half naturally couldn’t compare to that accumulated by Tianzang Monk over a good period.
’Through Tianzang Monk’s memory, I also learned of about twenty unclaimed Small Worlds.’
This thought arose in Su Que’s mind, and he immediately decided to send a clone to these Small Worlds to gather karmic force.
Establishing beliefs in unclaimed Small Worlds is less likely to be destroyed and can continuously provide more karmic force.
The Eight-Nine Evil Technique is his Merging Dao Technique.
With progress in the Eight-Nine Evil Technique, his cultivation in the Merging Realm will also progress.
His current Merging Realm cultivation has reached the thirteenth layer.
He decides to send a sixth-layer Merging Realm clone to various Small Worlds to establish beliefs.
At once, intending so, he performed the "Six Desires Divination Skill" and "Dark Clone."
Instantly, a thick black mist separated from him.
The cultivation of the Merging Realm isn’t simply a matter of one plus one equaling two.
Two sixth-layer Merging Realm cultivators combined often can’t rival a twelfth-layer Merging Realm cultivator.
After Su Que separated a sixth-layer Merging Realm clone, he still retained a tenth-layer Merging Realm cultivation.
Yet, with his formidable body and spirit, even after creating a clone, his actual strength far surpasses that of a tenth-layer Merging Realm cultivator.
