The Desolate Era
7
One by one the summarized thin books were placed on the table, and Ning immediately started scanning the names of each of these books.
[Devil's Catastrophe] [Unbreakable Blood Devil] [Song of Hell] [Buddhist Sutra Vajra] [Free Form Soul] [Red Bright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] [Yellow Earth Immortal Mystery] [Cloak Sutra Spirit] [Buddhist Future Sutra]
Each book was covered with strange-looking ancient characters. Fortunately, Ning had learned these words after Ning was born into this world.
Ning took a deep breath. This is a critical choice! One that will determine his destiny!
He picked up a book and started reading.
[Devil Disaster]. To train him, one needed to cover his body with a magic tattoo and use hellfire to temper his body. That's very painful. After covering the body with nine different types of magical tattoos and after being forged by the hellfire 81 times, the body would completely transform and become a Xiantian living being, instantly gaining boundless power, he said, the ability to spout hellfire, and immediately regrow the severed arm. This is a very difficult but very fast way of training. Theoretically, one would only need 81 days to reach the Xiantian level.
[The Unbreakable Blood Devil]. The pain this caused was even greater than the [Calamity Fiend] training method. It took three years of magic tattoos, three years of tormented hellish existence.
[Hell Song]. This required one to train next to the blazing flames, then be engulfed by the blazing flames, and finally enter the lava of the volcano without being injured at all. It requires one to become one with fire. Once one could control the boundless power of fire, that person would be considered to have reached the Xiantian level
Reading the three, Ning started frowning.
Why is this Fiendgod training method so painful? It was worse than torture!
“You stupid boy.” Snow could not help but speak. Only a few Fiendgod Body Refining methods were truly painful. Only five of these nineteen books were so painful. The others are not nearly that bad. I do not expect that the first three people you take .. “
“Oh!” Ning sighed in relief.
Yichuan, who was sitting nearby, said coldly, Refining the Fiendgod Body is much more difficult than Ki Refining. For a human to become a Xiantian living being was contrary to the natural laws of the world. To reach that level through the most difficult method, the Fiendgod Body Refining method was of course difficult! Moreover, this method which requires distressing, though rapid, suffering and difficulty can be considered a heterodox method which cannot be considered to have a good foundation.
Ning nodded as he continued reading.
[Sutra Buddha Vajra]. This is a type of Vajra Buddhist training method.
[Free-Shape Soul]. It took a very long time to practice, but after reaching the Xiantian level, it allowed one to freely change one's body and fill it with life. Even if one were to be chopped into many small pieces, one would immediately change shape. This was one of the most life-sustaining types of Fiendgod Body Training.
[Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. Without question, the Fiendgod Body Training method was number one!
“What?!”
Ning's eyes turned hungry, and she immediately stared at the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] and began to read carefully.
The [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] had nine parts.
The first three levels were for the Houtian stage.
The middle three levels were for Xiantian living beings.
The next three levels are for the Zifu stage.
It's completely different. That other training method, at its peak, only allowed the trainees to become peak Xiantian life forms. But this [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] allowed one to reach Zifu's peak level. Ning continued to read carefully despite her excitement.
After reaching the Xiantian level, one would be able to control water and fire, and also possess astonishing physical strength. A person's body will become light and agile, and his six senses will be honed. The severed limbs will grow back.
After reaching Zifu level, one would be able to regenerate from a drop of blood. Upon reaching the Wanxiang stage, one would possess extraordinary powers, such as cultivating three heads and six arms, the Kuafu Sunchaser ability, or the Shining Dragon Eye ability. But of course, the prerequisite was that one needed to be trained in this magical power.
A Fiendgod Body Refining Expert could easily suppress a Ki Refining expert of the same level.
But [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] is capable of suppressing all other types of Fiendgod Body Refining techniques!
It's publicly known!
There is no dispute!
But training in it is very difficult, the most difficult of all. This is also uncontested!
That would be my choice! After flipping through the remaining Fiendgod Body Refining books, without any hesitation at all, Ning made her choice. “[Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens]!”
“You've chosen?” Yichuan looked at his son.
“Ya.” Ning nodded.
Yichuan said slowly, “The Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens’. This was publicly acknowledged by everyone in the world as the most powerful method of Refining a Fiendgod Body. This is much more in-depth than techniques like ‘Hell’ Song, ‘Vajra’ Buddha Sutra, or ‘Devil’ Badge. And that's only at Zifu level. The next stage was even more profound. If you can become a Zifu Disciple, it will be very easy for you to rise to a higher level as well.
“This is the most widespread and most easily obtainable type of Body Refining Fiendgod technique.” Yichuan looked at his son. “But it's also the hardest!”
Ning laughs.
He had spent two years in this world reading many books. He knew that refining techniques were extremely important! The more profound his training techniques were, the more difficult it was to train. For a higher level book regarding the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] to be easily obtained meant that it was increasingly important for him to choose this one.
It has the greatest power! The best is undeniable!
“This is the most extensive!”
Yichuan looked at his son. It had countless benefits, and only one flaw; it was extremely difficult! Not a single member of the Ji clan from our five Prefectures has made it to the fourth part and become a Xiantian living being.
“What? Not a single member of the Ji clan in all five Prefectures could use it to become a Xiantian living being? Ning surprised.
It's okay if they don't reach Zifu's level.
But not a single one reached the Xiantian stage of life form?
“True.” says Yichuan. Not a single one. Because it's too hard, much harder than you might think. But I have to admit that it is the most mysterious and most powerful method of Refining a Fiendgod Body. Even in the legends of Fiendgods, this technique was the most powerful!
“Then this will be my choice!” Ning had no doubts at all.
He was born into a world with people like [Nuwa Painting], one of the highest grade visualization techniques that allowed him to stand out even among the Heaven army. With such a strong foundation, how could he at least not give it a try? Even if he failed, it wouldn't be a big deal. He could then choose to practice other techniques.
“Good!” Yichuan revealed a rare smile on his face. He was very pleased with his son's assertiveness. Then I'll get you the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens].
“Thank you dad.” Ning was filled with anticipation.
..
Dark nights.
The bedroom door was closed, and inside the room, a candle as thick as an arm flickered. There were only three people in the room. Yichuan, Snow, and their son, Ning.
Ning held a very thick book with red letters and read it. This was the legendary and most powerful technique: [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens].
It's really hard. Ning frowned as he read it.
The [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] had some great obstacles.
The first is an introduction. To start training in it, one should be able to feel ‘Yang Agung’ (Sun) and ‘Yin Besar’ (Month) in the sky. Many other Fiendgod training methods require the absorption of elemental energy, such as fire, water, or electricity to build strength. But the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] required its practitioners to immediately begin to sense the two largest celestial bodies, and to absorb the energy of the Sun and Moon.
Many trainees could not feel the Sun and Moon at all. And this is just the first step!
After that, by absorbing the energy of the Sun and Moon, one's entire body would be covered with a god tattoo. This is the second part! After the Divine Sun Tattoo and Divine Moon Tattoo were fully formed, one could be considered to have completed the first level [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens]! In fact, from this first level, one could tell just how profound this technique was, because many other techniques, such as the [Calamity Fiend] technique, all relied on physically engraving a magical tattoo onto one's body.
But for the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens], the tattoo would form naturally, and the tattoo of a god was from the Moon and Sun!
Once the first level is mastered, one can usually easily reach the third level without any problems.
But breaking through to the fourth level and becoming a Xiantian living being was even more difficult.
It takes ‘Yin and Yang to Unite, Water and Fire To Be One’. Only then could one break through and become a Xiantian life form.
The next obstacle was too far away. No need to worry about them.
“Wah.” Finished reading, Ning let out a long sigh.
Yichuan and Snow looked at their son.
“Dad, please let me know in connection with the mystery hidden in the first level [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens].” Ning looked at his father.
Understanding the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] was very easy, Yichuan said. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the image. There are nine images for the first level. It's very simple.
Ning nodded. He had read many books in this world, and as he flipped through them, he quickly learned what a training method was. But he was worried that he might have missed some sort of deep meaning. After all, training was something that he could not rush too much. Since his father said that the instructions in this book were very clear, then it was time to start.
Ning closed his eyes and raised his fist, then bowed .. This is the first diagram: Bending to the Sun and Moon!
He performed all the movements according to the image, appearing to almost move according to the strange ritual dance, and his body carried a strange ancient aura within it.
Hm? Yichuan surprised.
“Usaha first on the movement was very accurate and precise.” Snow was surprised. Although most people want to do the moves correctly, they are actually not able to do it exactly the way they want to. However, Ning had been practicing according to [Nuwa's Painting] since his birth. His soul was extremely strong, and he had extremely strong control over his body as a result. Given that he was also constantly being cleansed by his natural energy and soul as pure as a baby, it was only natural that he could easily make accurate movements.
A hua!
Ning's last move was to sit in a kneeling position, his hands hanging in front of him, as if one was resting in the sun while the other was resting on the moon.
Total silence.
Yichuan and Snow also held their breaths. They know that it is a critical movement. The previous dancing movement was only aimed at allowing one to feel ‘Yang Agung’ (Sun) and ‘Yin Besar’ (Month). Whether Ning would be able to feel those two most majestic star bodies …
Although this was only the introductory part of the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens], it had prevented many people from practicing in it.
They both knew that the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] was the Fiendgod Body Refining method that was the most difficult to train, to train, and they knew that the chances of their four-year-old son being able to master the introductory part were very low. However, parents always hope that their children succeed. They wait, hoping for a joyous surprise to happen …
