Chapter 581: 217. Desperate Counterattack, Dragon Bone Forging Sword (6.5K Words - Major Chapter Seeking Subscription)
Second-level Cultivation Profound Land, Wangsheng Cliff, one of the entrances to this world’s Sea of Suffering.
Outside the cliff lies the sea, with raging tides surging within.
Currents crash against abrupt sword-like reefs, shattering into snow-white foam.
On the beach, the "White-clothed Immortal" removes the Profound Robe composed of Changwang’s Evil Treasure, which spins and divides into a melting furnace and prayer beads.
Yet at this moment, the two cannot be separated, because they are adhered by a terrifying Black and White Demon Dragon.
The dragon’s head is tightly squeezed by the prayer beads, while the dragon’s tail is firmly branded by the "high temperature" of the furnace’s surface. Upon closer inspection, each point of adhesion is a cluster of countless little pale hands clutching at the Black and White Demon Dragon.
The Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng stands beside Song Yan, following his gaze to the floating Changwang’s Evil Treasure and Yin Yang Profound Dragon in the air, and says, "Master, you should already know the source of Changwang’s Evil Treasure, it’s a relic of the Ancient Celestial Venerable. However, you might not yet understand the foundation of this treasure’s construction."
Song Yan replies indifferently, "Speak."
The Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng says, "The transformation of Divinity’s power lies in the Taiyin and Taiyang Projection Fire Seed on the Immortal Rank Divine List. You enhance your power with this projection fire seed, subsequently creating a Power of One Realm as you transform your Lifebound Realm Embryo into a Secret Realm.
But the Power of One Realm only signifies that your life has entered a new level, indicating you’ve successfully reached a new life’s infancy stage.
The Divine Infant is akin to a baby, whereas Divinity Transformation equates to a child.
New life necessitates a new core cultivation method.
Ultimately, these methods revolve around cultivating one thing.
And that is the Little Celestial Dao Characters.
However, Divinity Transformation can barely grasp half of a Celestial Dao Character.
Perfectly forming one’s own half of the Little Celestial Dao Characters is what I believe to be the path of advancement.
For instance, the Lifebound Characters of this world, I believe it to be the character ’Introduction,’ attracting and gathering all things.
The Lifebound Characters I’ve comprehended are ’Formless.’ Although ’Formless’ comprises two characters, it expresses a singular meaning, thus rendering it one character in terms of the Heavenly Dao. Regrettably, I’ve only comprehended half, failing to progress further.
Returning to the topic, the fundamental logic of a treasure like Changwang’s Evil Treasure is essentially the Little Celestial Dao Characters.
This character is the Ancient Celestial Venerable’s Little Celestial Dao Character – Chang."
The Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng says, "The power of Changwang’s Evil Treasure is actually just half of the Chang character. Accumulating through this character makes it powerful, yet no matter how strong, it’s ultimately built upon half of the Chang character. Factoring in the Celestial Venerable’s capability, it’s barely deemed as a top-tier treasure of Divinity Transformation.
The ’Formless’ concept I’ve realized cannot compare to this ’Chang,’ and with obedience added, it’s why I could be enslaved and become a Chang Ghost.
Yet the Yin Yang Profound Dragon is incredibly challenging to refine, since its essence is also at the level of half a Little Celestial Dao Character."
Song Yan asks, "Then what do you think should be done?"
The Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng replies, "Combining our efforts to suppress, then refining it with Changwang’s Evil Treasure; thus success could be achieved."
As he speaks, a trace of struggle surfaces on his face, and he continues, "I am a Chang Ghost, there are things I cannot hide from the master. Actually... there’s hidden danger within this, the reason I willingly became the master’s Chang Ghost is not just as superficially stated."
Song Yan’s expression remains unchanged, "Speak."
The Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng states, "This refining process actually holds another outcome. That is... during refinement, should the Yin Yang Profound Dragon rise up and resist, it will devour over half of the Chang Ghosts within Changwang’s Evil Treasure, then break free.
Due to my soul bond with the Yin Yang Profound Dragon, at that time... I would also rise.
Thus, honestly speaking, whether success or failure, I won’t lose out.
However... I greatly underestimated the master’s control over Changwang’s Evil Treasure. Originally, I thought I could use the power of half a Little Celestial Dao Character to conceal some petty thoughts, ha."
"Oh? Then can I avoid refining this dragon?"
Song Yan remains emotionless, seemingly unfazed regardless of what Tang Changsheng says.
The Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng remarks, "Considering the master, it is best to refine, otherwise crossing the Sea of Suffering is difficult.
I know that the master’s thoughts are likely akin to the Celestial Demons of the Rotting Thought Layer.
However, despite this, should the master enter the Sea of Suffering, though death may not occur, much would be lost...
Body, divine soul, cannot withstand the seawater of the Sea of Suffering. When the time comes, should the master fail, he will become a pure Celestial Demon, devoid of body and divine soul."
After speaking, the Chang Ghost Tang Changsheng pauses briefly, then states, "The scarcity of Divinity is due to the extensive need for Evil Treasures in crossing the Sea of Suffering.
Once upon a time, I packed two storage bags full of Evil Treasures, and was considered a prominent figure on this land, but just one journey across the Sea of Suffering consumed all sixteen Evil Treasures within those two storage bags completely, reducing me to destitution, unable to even return, forcing me to hold the Immortal Position, fending off enemies from beyond the realm.
Yet there’s no other way, as much as Evil Treasures are essential, the greater importance lies in one’s realm.
Although the master’s Changwang’s Evil Treasure is far stronger, if the master intends to solely rely on this treasure to cross the Sea of Suffering, it is still insufficient.
Now, the master has only two options.
First, return to the interior of the Second-level Cultivation Profound Land, contend for Evil Treasures together with various sects upon encountering a Soul Threshold, and once sufficient amounts are gathered, venture out to sea. However... I believe the Second-level Cultivation Profound Land now is perilous in the extreme, simply because Celestial Beings and Celestial Demons have begun appearing one after another.
Second, refine the Yin Yang Profound Dragon, integrate it thoroughly with Changwang’s Evil Treasure, thereby enhancing the quality of this treasure. This is also a special function of Celestial Demons, as they are composed of divine thoughts, perfectly compatible with Evil Treasures. If it were us, Human Race cultivators, it wouldn’t work."
