Chapter 1268
The art of refining the soul is circulated in this Shenzhou world, even in the sea of the heavens. Although there are various versions, the effects and consequences are almost the same.
It is said that this art of refining the soul was created by a powerful demon. It is used to cultivate a cultivator with a strong soul, and then wait for the right time to harvest the soul and refine a powerful demon immortal weapon.
At the beginning, when many cultivators got this art of refining the soul, even if the process of cultivation was very painful, they could accept it. After all, compared with becoming stronger, these little pains are not worth mentioning for the cultivators.
Even if the impact of this on future reincarnation has been discovered, there are still strong people who choose to drink poison to quench their thirst, because their environment forces them to become stronger. If they don’t practice, they may not even have an afterlife.
In addition, all of them weaken the potential of the next life. As long as they can continue to become stronger and not die, then such troubles are no different from no troubles. They can't scare those who have always wanted to become stronger. Only a small number of strong people who have choices will stop here.
The real reason why this magical skill has become a taboo is the harvest of the powerful demon. The other party used the souls of countless strong people who practiced the art of refining the soul to refine a powerful magic fairy weapon-the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
At this point, this monstrous plan was completely exposed, and it really discouraged many people.
After all, if it is to become stronger, these people are willing to pay all the prices, but if all the pain and price they endure only become the food for others in the end, then they will definitely not be willing.
To this day, there are not many immortal gates and strong people who really practice this kind of magic and magical power in the Shenzhou world and even in the sea of heaven, but there is no doubt that the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect has the most.
Even though they knew there were many hidden dangers behind this and there were plans by powerful people, the powerful people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect didn't care at all.
With the protection of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord, even that powerful demon didn't dare to attack them easily. The other party could only target some casual cultivators and didn't dare to provoke a giant of the Demon Dao like the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord.
As for the hidden dangers of this magical skill, it's not worth mentioning. After all, don't forget that the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect is a demon sect. All their goals are to become stronger, and they will do anything to become stronger.
For the powerful demons, no matter what the consequences are, if you don't seize the opportunity to become stronger that is within your reach, then you will become someone else's food!
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sect not only continued to practice the art of refining the soul, but also continued to innovate on the original basis, increasing the power of this forbidden magical power by more than several times.
However, even so, it is still a pity for the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts that he has not really reached the supreme level. If he can upgrade this magical power to the supreme level, then he can really use it to complete the transformation of his soul and break through to the level of Daojun.
Over the years, while he has been practicing constantly, he is also looking for some things that can be replaced, looking for similar magical skills, in order to make himself go further and transform his soul again.
Regarding the appearance of the Wanfa Realm, a world rich in magical skills, the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts immediately focused on it, wanting to explore whether there are magical powers similar to the soul refining technique in this world.
Unfortunately, although he found many similar magical skills, the level is similar to his own, and he still has not reached the supreme level.
After learning about the ten supreme magical powers circulated in the Wanfa Realm, he also began to constantly look for the traces of the ten supreme magical powers, because according to the inheritance of this world and the evolution rules of some magical skills, since there are magical skills such as soul refining, then there must be an original source.
According to legend, all the magical skills of the Wanfa Realm evolved from the ten supreme magical skills, so there is a great possibility that there is a supreme magical skill of the supreme level of soul refining among them.
It can be said that his plan coincides with that of the Jade Emperor in this regard, but the Jade Emperor took the initiative, and then the war broke out, and the Taoist of Immortality used the Wanfa Realm as a trial field.
This forced the plan of the Wanshou Demon Lord to be temporarily suspended, after all, he could not continue to act at this moment.
You must know that although there are not many people who practice this art of soul refining, at least the demon immortal who created the art of soul refining must be eager for it. Once the news is exposed, it will inevitably attract the attention of the other party. He can only continue to lie dormant and wait for time.
However, the situation between heaven and earth changed too quickly. First, several Taoists took action, which made the Wanshou Demon Lord realize that the chaos of heaven and earth will appear and he does not have much time.
Then came the appearance of the Great Destiny Art. The Taoist Lord Changsheng wanted to let many True Immortals enter the World of All Laws to compete for the remaining supreme magical powers, which completely disrupted the plan.
At this moment, no matter whether he was sure that the remaining supreme magical powers contained the legendary Great Refining Divine Art, no matter what kind of plan he had, he had to enter the World of All Laws.
"This is the sadness of chess pieces. No matter what ideas and plans you have, once the chess player makes a move, you can only act passively as a chess piece." The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts said with a gloomy look.
For himself, he had countless plans and calculations, and even made various preparations for this, but these plans and measures were completely meaningless.
When the Taoist Lord made his move, his will was everything. Everyone had to act according to the other party's rules. Anyone who was unwilling to abide by the rules did not even have the qualifications to participate.
Even if he was a True Immortal of the Sixth Heaven, even if his strength was the top existence in this world, as long as he did not step into the level of Taoist Lord, he was just a chess piece.
Even for the Taoist Lord, as long as he wanted, even the Taoist Lord had to act according to the other party's rules, without too many choices.
But even so, it was a good choice for the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord. At least in this way, he himself was not without any opportunities. As long as he participated in this battle, he would also have the opportunity to seize what he needed.
Of course, this incident made him realize the reality and understand that even with his strength, he could not obtain real autonomy and still needed to be controlled by those strong men.
This undoubtedly made the idea of improving the strength in the heart of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord more urgent. In the following chaos of heaven and earth, he could only become a real chess player and have more opportunities to choose if he stepped into the level of Taoist Lord. Otherwise, he could only go with the flow and have no autonomy.
"The Great Destiny Technique! This magical technique is also a good choice for this leader." Zhao Baiyang stood in the void with his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips.
Originally, he thought that this time he brought many disciples to participate in the trial of the Wanfa Realm, just to protect these disciples, and he didn't need to take action himself, but he didn't expect that the accidents happened one after another, and even he had the opportunity to get a share.
Unlike others, Zhao Baiyang's mentality has always been very peaceful. Even after seeing the successive actions of the Purple Star Emperor and the Jade Emperor, and the fierce battle between these four powerful Taoists in the chaotic void, he was still unmoved, and his heart was calm.
Everything in this entire chaotic void is false, only strength is the foundation. As long as one's own strength is strong enough, then all influences will disappear like clouds.
Even seeing the power of the Jade Emperor and the Purple Star Emperor, and seeing the chaos between heaven and earth in the future, Zhao Baiyang not only did not have any worries, but instead a little joy rose in his heart.
After all, although he and the Jade Emperor are at odds, if we really want to divide a position, to some extent, everyone pursues similar interests, and they are all suppressed by these old Taoist monarchs and top immortal gates.
The development of the Outer Dao Alliance to the current point has actually reached a bottleneck period. It is not easy to take another step forward, and it is even blocked everywhere.
If there were no people like the Jade Emperor and the new Taoist monarchs, then relying on Zhao Baiyang alone, the Outer Dao Alliance would have no way to continue to develop, let alone go to the next level. After all, there are too many old vested interests and they are too powerful. It is not something that can be broken by one family.
On the contrary, only when these people take action can the situation become chaotic, and in this chaotic situation, they have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and gain more benefits.
This great destiny technique does not have much effect on others, but if it can be mastered by Zhao Baiyang, although it is not a 100% fit, it can also exert 80% to 90% of its power.
The Three Yang Dao, cultivating the past, present, and future Dharmakās, is a path related to destiny for Zhao Baiyang. If he can use this great destiny technique to anchor his past and future, it will definitely be a great benefit to his Three Yang Dao.
Of course, this is the best result, but Zhao Baiyang is not the kind of person who forces things. He has some requirements for this great destiny technique, but it is not impossible. If it is not available or the price of getting it is too high, Zhao Baiyang will decisively withdraw.
Compared with other True Immortals, they are all trapped in the level of the sixth heaven of True Immortals and cannot break the shackles and ascend to the Dao Lord.
But Zhao Baiyang is different. Over the years, he has sorted out his future path very clearly. Even after he condensed the future Dharmakā, his Dao Lord path has been opened, and stepping into the Dao Lord level is almost certain.
Others want to break through but cannot, but Zhao Baiyang does not want to break through for the time being.
For him, in the current situation, even if he is certified as a Taoist, he will be like other newly promoted Taoists, unable to obtain authority from those old Taoists, but will attract more attention.
After being certified as a Taoist, he can change his identity and become a chess player in the world, but a chess player needs to have corresponding chess pieces and sufficient chess playing ability in addition to his own strength.
For him now, even if he is certified as a Taoist, he cannot obtain authority, and there are not enough strong people under his command. There is no way to make a move on the chessboard of the world, and he is still isolated.
Even more than that, after all, no matter how powerful a True Immortal of the Sixth Heaven is, he is just a chess piece in the eyes of many Taoists. As long as he acts low-key, these Taoists will not pay too much attention to him.
On the contrary, if he is promoted to a Taoist, he will immediately attract attention from all sides. The fear of the old Taoists and the solicitation of the new Taoists will force him to choose a camp.
Whether following the old Taoist monarch or joining the alliance of new Taoist monarchs and becoming an opponent, one will not be attacked by the other party before a real conflict breaks out between the two sides.
But if after being promoted to Daojun, he still tries to be neutral and does not join any side, then he will inevitably become an existence that neither side can tolerate.
Once promoted to Daojun, he must choose a camp. There is no neutral Daojun, or no Daojun is qualified to be neutral.
For Zhao Baiyang, he cannot gain power by joining the old Daojun, nor can he gain power by joining the new Daojun, and he needs to bear great risks.
Neither of these is desirable, so he does not want to be promoted to Daojun at this time. Instead, as a True Immortal Sixth Heaven, a powerful chess piece and a valuable chess piece, and does not need to choose a camp, this is the best solution.
Zhao Baiyang is not the only smart person. He believes that there are some strong people in this world who have the same plan as him. They are all watching and waiting for the opportunity.
Even many Daojuns know all this, but these Daojuns will not care. They can tolerate and accept Zhao Baiyang's approach.
For the old Daojuns, they can tolerate even the new Daojuns, so why would they care about the ideas of these true immortals? It is enough for the other party to make a clear position and distinguish between friends and enemies when they become Daojuns.
For the new Daojuns, their camp is already in a weak position, so they will not force them easily, at least when the other party has not completely refused, they will not force the other party to the camp of the old Daojun.
"Entering the game too early can indeed accumulate capital very early, but entering the game too early will also become a focus, and the things that the new Daojun can accumulate are still too little." Zhao Baiyang thought in his heart.
Although his current approach has certain risks, before the real war has not yet begun, he has a sense of advance and retreat, and there are many possibilities. His situation is much better than that of some Daojuns.
Of course, he also knows that many people are watching him at this moment. As long as he is promoted to Daojun, he must decide his camp at the first moment, and it will inevitably attract one side to take action.
However, this is much better than many True Immortal Sixth Heaven strongmen. At least, just like the current competition for the supreme magical power in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm, he can join the game, but he does not have to join the game. He can also choose to withdraw when necessary. (End of this chapter)
