Chapter 522 - 304: Three Emperors’ Discussion of Dao, Great Terror
Night fell quickly, and the Bone Tribe held a grand welcome ceremony for Wei Fan. According to Liya, the Bone Tribe slaughtered a Demon Venerable-level demon beast.
It was a demon beast, not a Demon Fiend. Demon Fiends have wisdom, while this kind of demon beast was raised by the Bone Tribe at great expense using spiritual objects. Even though its aura could rival a Martial Venerable, it had not developed intelligence and had never eaten humans.
This type of demon beast only releases some blood when laying the foundation for the clan’s children. Usually, it is fed various old medicines, and slaughter occurs only during the highest ceremonies.
During the feast, Wei Fan discovered that this demon beast meat was indeed different from those Martial Venerables who cultivated a Golden Body by devouring humans. The meat not only tasted exquisite but also greatly nourished Qi Blood, strengthened muscles and bones, and enhanced Origin.
Even with his Martial King Second Layer cultivation, he felt a surge of Blood Qi and his Origin slightly strengthened upon consuming it.
The grand bonfire party continued until late at night. Many young people of the Bone Tribe, even though unaware of Wei Fan’s background, came to drink with him.
Slightly drunk, Wei Fan returned to the stone house and began cultivating to eliminate the effects of alcohol.
He then took out the "Three Emperors Classic," which he hadn’t had the chance to examine before.
"Even this book itself is an invaluable treasure. The contents within surely won’t disappoint."
Although the book was entirely golden, Wei Fan exerted great effort and still failed to damage it. He understood that currently his strength could crush a mountain as easily as paper, and top-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldiers were fragile before him.
Filled with anticipation, he opened the first page, and instead of any text, the golden page was filled with engravings.
Wei Fan was intrigued, closed his eyes, and decided to use Spiritual Power to perceive and feel the contents of the book.
Boom!
In the next moment, the golden light within his spiritual world erupted, engulfing his spiritual realm and shaking his consciousness.
From the golden light appeared three indistinct figures,
Their statures were majestic, heroic, like Supreme Emperors.
They seemed unaware of Wei Fan’s presence, standing in the void and began discussing Dao.
From Horizontal Training to True Qi, and on how to open acupoints, how to broaden acupoints, each word they uttered contained profound insights, key and mystical aspects of cultivation.
Each of them expressed their views, and when disagreements arose, they would argue and explore, reaching conclusions that satisfied all three before proceeding with other discussions.
Their discussion was like heavenly edicts; as they expounded Dao, flowers fell, and golden lotuses emerged from the ground, presenting various phenomena.
Wei Fan listened, entranced; much of what they discussed he had never touched upon before, and all went directly to the essence of Martial Dao.
Celestial Human Realm, Divine Realm, Martial Venerable Realm, until it stopped at the end of Martial King Realm. All before him abruptly ceased, the golden light vanished from his spiritual world, and the three figures faded away.
Wei Fan opened his eyes, still feeling exhilarated, and still saw the golden book before him.
"Must I advance to Martial Saint Realm to view the remaining content?"
Their discussion hadn’t ended, but since his cultivation was only at Martial King Realm, he could only grasp the concepts related to it.
He then looked at the panel, which now had large characters:
[Three Emperors Scripture·Fragment (Uninitiated)]
"Do I need to comprehend and create a Heart Method myself?"
What the Three Emperors discussed lacked an exact cultivation heart method, but all pointed to the essence. Wei Fan sensed it wouldn’t be difficult to comprehend something; the challenge lay in the depth he could achieve.
For cultivators, the most crucial aspects are personal talent, cultivation technique, and resources.
Regarding personal talent, though he was initially lacking, the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations allowed him continuous transformation, and in terms of talent, he had surpassed even geniuses like Feng Hua.
In resources, he had the panel and only needed to defeat Demon Fiends and Evil Spirits. The only lacking element was the cultivation technique.
The Guangling Martial Arts Manual he was cultivating, though a Martial Saint Technique, wasn’t considered top-notch worldwide. In the battle at the ruins, the primary reason the Black-Scaled Flood Dragon King initially blasted him multiple times was due to their ability to harness his talent potential through heart method, relying solely on battle intent and fury to unleash potential.
He casually set up an array to isolate the cultivation aura, and Wei Fan, with a thought, activated the panel:
[One-year power: You acquired the Three Emperors Classic within the ruins, which lacked precise cultivation methods, only exhaustive cultivation discussions. You attempted to create your own version of the Three Emperors Classic.]
...
As the panel flickered, scenes of the previous Three Emperors’ Discussion of Dao appeared in Wei Fan’s mind again. He repeatedly listened and compared it with previous heart methods he had cultivated, making additions or deletions.
This process was lengthy; verifying the existing heart methods with the Three Emperors’ theories involved changes followed by practical cultivation. Fortunately, with the panel’s abilities, the process finished quickly.
At times, radiances emerged from him, shaking out fluctuations, at others, he was calm as water.
Finally, based on the Three Emperors’ discussions, he compiled a heart method.
[Ten-thousand-year power: You perfected the Three Emperors Classic to Martial King Realm...]
The Three Emperors Classic lacked an exact heart method, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a martial art; the discussed contents were more crucial than any martial art.
With the heart method compiled, the next step was to modify his cultivation. Wei Fan added more power and operated a more perfected and profound cultivation route.
During this process, his aura transformed accordingly.
Changing cultivation was indeed troublesome, as each heart method cultivated results in a different power nature. This transformation involved constructing an entirely new system within and converting all power attributes.
Typically, martial artists wouldn’t easily alter their major martial arts unless encountering a mightier heart method, as this process could consume years or even longer.
However, with the panel, this process wasn’t much of a challenge for Wei Fan.
As the Heart Method of the Scripture of the Three Emperors circulated, potential surged from his limbs, bones, and deep within his Primordial Spirit. His cultivation didn’t improve, but his aura continuously strengthened.
The surging power flowed through his meridians like a mighty river, constantly tempering and refining his body. The new Martial King’s Power was more domineering and profound than the power cultivated from the Guangling Martial Arts Manual, brimming with vitality.
Wei Fan’s entire body turned red, his Blood Qi boiling as if being forged. The process of alteration also became a process of strengthening for him.
Only through true cultivation did he realize that the Guangling Martial Arts Manual and the Scripture of the Three Emperors were fundamentally incomparable, belonging to completely different levels.
The Scripture of the Three Emperors was undoubtedly a Heart Method surpassing the level of a Martial Saint.
With such a Heart Method, even ordinary Martial Techniques could unleash earth-shattering power.
Finally, the alteration of the Heart Method concluded, the nature of his power fully transformed, leaving no trace of the Guangling Martial Arts Manual on him.
[Scripture of the Three Emperors·Martial King Second Level (Entry Level)]
[Ordinary Power: 430,000 years]
[Martial King’s Power: 1,200 years]
Wei Fan sat within the array, his body radiant and as crystalline as jade, the surge of power gradually calming.
Sitting casually, he appeared like a Supreme Emperor, exuding the demeanor of a Martial Dao powerhouse. He now had a truly extraordinary presence, feeling as if, with the Cultivation Technique autonomously circulating within, he had ascended a peak, reaching out to touch the sky.
"Back then, Qi Daozhen dominated the world with the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations. It seems the credit doesn’t solely belong to the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations..."
He suspected that the two coffins likely contained Qi Daozhen and Qi Daozhen’s fair companion, making it likely that the Scripture of the Three Emperors was also left by Qi Daozhen.
Qi Daozhen could traverse the world, probably relying not only on the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations but also on the Scripture of the Three Emperors.
No matter how exquisite the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, it remained a Secret Technique, not a primary Heart Method.
To fully unleash potential and attain supreme power, one must rely on the primary Heart Method.
After dismantling the array, Wei Fan went up to the stone bed and lay down.
The next day, he was awakened by the sound of crying.
"Why is there crying?"
Wei Fan, puzzled, stepped out of the stone house to find a group from the Bone Tribe gathering on the open ground not far from his residence. Several children and a middle-aged woman were weeping.
Wei Fan walked over and saw a man in the center of the crowd with a blackened face, already dead.
He even remembered this man; last night, when the people of the Bone Tribe sought him for a drinking contest, this man had joyously clinked glasses with him twice, praising Wei Fan’s drinking prowess and praising men like Wei Fan within the Bone Tribe.
Liya, the Clan Leader of the Bone Tribe, and the Elders of the Bone Tribe whom he had met last night were all present, their expressions grim.
The man had clearly died an unnatural death, as Wei Fan recalled him having the strength of Golden Body Eight Forging, making it impossible for him to die of illness.
"Evil Spirits!"
Wei Fan softly uttered the words, recalling such a death vividly.
Back in Yun City while serving as a constable, it was Evil Spirits that killed the City Lord’s entire family, and it was Wei Fan who ultimately slew the Evil Spirit.
Later, after leaving Yun City, he only encountered one Evil Spirit in Ding Family Town, having lived for centuries with only Celestial Human Cultivation.
Thereafter, he hardly heard of such beings.
Even when they occasionally appeared, those Evil Spirits could harm only ordinary people; rarely did they threaten Acupoint Martial Artists.
Yet here, a Golden Body Eighth Forging powerhouse was silently killed by an Evil Spirit, and it happened not far from him unnoticed.
With his Martial King Second Layer cultivation, it virtually occurred right under his nose.
Not only he, but even the Bone Tribe’s powerhouses failed to detect it.
To speak nothing of others, even that inscrutable Clan Leader, whom he suspected might be a Martial Saint Powerhouse, failed to notice, which was utterly terrifying.
In the Wilderness, not to mention Evil Spirits capable of killing Martial Venerates, there had never even been one at the Divine Realm Level.
"That thing has surfaced again; this time, surely many will perish!"
"Damn beast, for so many years it has treated our tribe as its blood food, coming to prey every so often; one day, we’ll annihilate it!"
"Hush... don’t speak, it might be nearby!"
...
Wei Fan overheard a few young ones conversing in the distance, suggesting such incidents weren’t first-time occurrences, and they seemed to know the culprit.
Wei Fan withdrew from the crowd, meticulously scanning everyone present. However, the panel didn’t react.
"It’s useless!"
Liya approached, a grim expression on her face, advising Wei Fan against wasting his energy searching, informing him that the Evil Spirits hadn’t infiltrated human bodies.
