The system gave me immortality, and I survived everyone

Looking at Chen Changsheng's concerned expression, Sha Ying's lips twitched as he spoke.

"Sir, I was practicing exactly according to the instructions just now, so why is this happening?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "The soul technique you possess has indeed been verified."

"But I never said it was safe."

"why?"

"How could cutting a true spirit be safe? Don't you have any common sense?"

Shadow Demon: "......"

What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it.

However, before Sha Ying could ask any more questions, Mo Bai, who was contemplating the painting, also ran into a problem.

Blood was flowing from Mo Bai's seven orifices, and his breathing became chaotic.

"Child, how could you use the visualization diagram I gave you as an ordinary visualization diagram?"

Chen Changsheng grumbled slightly, then pulled Mo Bai back from his meditative state.

Looking at Chen Changsheng in front of him, Mo Bai said in horror, "Sir, I just saw it..."

“I know what you saw. When the Sage painted it, it was intentional.”

Raising his hand to interrupt Mo Bai, Chen Changsheng slowly said, "Many years ago, the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the others were fighting against the people of the Four Brahma Realms and the Three Realms."

"For a time, the enemy rushed through a gap in the defenses."

"Because there was a severe shortage of manpower at the time, the Supreme Sage came up with a way to resist the enemy."

"He made the Desolate Emperor display his strongest state, and then used the supreme art of painting to record his essence."

"While painting, in order to trap the enemy to the greatest extent possible, the Holy One also joined the three thousand demonic paths."

What are the Three Thousand Demonic Paths?

"The Great Dao that Ancestor Styx used to cultivate was the Three Thousand Demonic Paths, but he named it himself."

Upon receiving this answer, Mo Bai asked in surprise, "How could a Supreme Sage understand the Great Dao of the Styx Ancestor?"

"Of course the Supreme Sage understands the Great Dao of the Styx Ancestor, because when the Styx Ancestor first became famous, the Supreme Sage personally subdued him and then had him cultivate his character in the academy."

"Unfortunately, the Holy One went on an expedition, so the Styx Ancestor lost the person to suppress him."

"Later, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I allowed him to leave Shanhe Academy."

Mo Bai: "..."

This is such an exciting secret; I'd probably only hear it from you.

"Then what does this 'Three Thousand Demonic Paths' have to do with the danger I just encountered?"

"Of course there is a connection, because the purpose of this painting was to kill and trap the enemy, not for future generations to contemplate."

"Originally, after defeating the enemy, the Holy One did not want this thing to circulate in the world, so he planned to destroy it."

"But I thought this thing was quite valuable, so I took it."

"Can this thing really trigger special states?"

Faced with Chen Changsheng's answer, Mo Bai finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, "I don't know either. I have completely visualized both the three thousand demonic paths and the divine essence of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor."

"But after studying it many times, I have not found that this painting can induce a special state."

"If the Sword Master hadn't had a successful example, I really wouldn't be sure."

Upon receiving this answer, Mo Bai opened his mouth several times, but ultimately swallowed his words back.

From the previous answer, Mo Bai had already sensed that the gentleman was unreliable.

The visualization diagram in his hand was not some kind of secret soul technique at all; it was an attempt that even he himself dared not be sure about.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will be even more careful."

Mo Bai bowed in thanks, then began to meditate and heal his injuries.

"Sir, is there something wrong with mine too?"

After hearing Chen Changsheng's answer regarding the visualization diagram, Sha Ying couldn't help but feel worried.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "No, your technique has been verified."

"However, this cultivation method is not suitable for cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor realm."

Shadow: ? ? ?

"Does the master mean that I should practice this technique after I reach the Quasi-Emperor level?"

"Of course not, I strongly recommend that you start practicing this technique now."

"Sir, didn't you just say that this cultivation technique is not suitable for cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor realm?"

"Yes!"

Shadow Demon: "......"

Don't you want to look at what you're saying? Is this something a human being should say?

Seemingly sensing Sha Ying's resentment, Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "I have my reasons for letting you practice this technique now."

"After a cultivator enters the Quasi-Emperor realm, his true spirit will become even stronger."

"In this way, cultivators can naturally withstand the damage caused by soul cultivation techniques."

"But that's the crux of the problem. If you cultivate soul techniques after reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm, then your path will be the normal path of the Bitter Sea Emperor."

"If you come here in this way, you will not be able to understand the mysteries of the soul."

"Sir, I don't understand!"

After pondering for a moment, Sha Ying said, "After a cultivator enters the Quasi-Emperor realm, as long as their cultivation level is high enough, they can theoretically touch the True Spirit."

"In such circumstances, why is it even more difficult to grasp the mysteries of the soul?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng said, "You are right, but I have hit a bottleneck in my research on Quasi-Emperor Realm True Spirits."

"Let alone a quasi-emperor, even Zhang Bairen, who has already stepped into the Bitter Sea Emperor, probably cannot explain how to maintain a special state in a normal way."

"Moreover, according to data analysis, Quasi-Emperors activate their special states far less often than cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor level."

"To fully understand the mysteries of the soul, I can only start with cultivators below the Quasi-Emperor realm at the moment."

"If you really don't want to take too many risks, you should wait until you reach the Quasi-Emperor level to cultivate this soul technique."

After receiving Chen Changsheng's reply, Sha Ying remained silent for a moment before saying, "Sir, I understand what you mean."

"The road to exploration is full of obstacles. Although I don't want to be reckless, I still want to give it a try."

"I will be more careful this time."

“Good, then keep up the good work. I will be here to protect you and prevent any accidents from happening again.”

After saying that, Chen Changsheng took out a table and chairs and brewed some fragrant tea.

At the same time, Shadow Sha also began to cultivate the secret techniques of the soul once again.

Seeing that the two had entered a meditative state, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and sent out a message that he had already prepared.

Shortly after Chen Changsheng sent out this message, the entire Dan Era received the same message.

[I am Chen Changsheng. When you see this message, it means that some brave warriors have already passed the first two challenges I left behind.]

The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, its waves washing away the heroes of the past. Right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in the blink of an eye. The green hills remain, witnessing countless sunsets.

Many years have passed, yet heroes from all over the world remain as numerous as fish crossing a river; I feel very gratified.
