The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

The Soul-Splitting and Insect-Separating Technique is a shocking soul secret method. It is the crystallization of Li Qing's years of hard work. It is the flower of wisdom that bloomed after his countless explorations and attempts day and night. It is also a direct manifestation of his indomitable willpower.

This is not just the birth of a secret technique, but also a leap in Li Qing's profound understanding of the mysteries of the soul.

The birth of this secret technique was not accidental. It was based on Li Qing's profound analysis and integration of the three secret techniques.

The Soul Purifying and Spirit Guiding Technique, with its pure and spotless power, can guide the power of the spirit deep within the soul. It can both kill the soul and heal the soul.

The Netherworld Soul-Severing Blade is like the sharpest blade in the underworld, which can accurately cut the soul, but carries unspeakable danger.

Li Qing keenly noticed the contradictory yet complementary nature of the two secret arts, so he boldly innovated, extracted their core essence, and skillfully integrated it into his own original "Soul Shadow Fractal Technique".

This innovation not only eliminated the duplication and redundancy among the original secret techniques, but also made the newly generated Soul-Splitting Worm Separation Technique reach an unprecedented level of effectiveness, capable of simultaneously purifying, healing and precisely cutting the demon soul.

However, the road to creation is not a smooth one. During this period, Li Qing encountered countless failures and challenges. Every attempt was like walking on a knife edge. If he was not careful, he might be doomed.

But fortunately, he had the precious treasure of Wudao Tea in his hands.

This tea contains the purest power of enlightenment in the world. Whenever Li Qing gets stuck in a bottleneck or is confused, he only needs to take a sip of it to suddenly become enlightened. Inspiration will surge like a spring, helping him to overcome difficulties time and time again.

As for the remaining three secret techniques, although they each have their own unique effects and powers, due to the limitations of the conditions for their use, Li Qing ultimately did not choose to incorporate them into the secret techniques he created.

First of all, the secret spell "Soul Realm Dividing Curse" requires the caster to have profound soul power, and also to prepare various rare spiritual objects to refine a special magic weapon.

Only in this way can this mysterious and powerful secret technique be successfully performed.

Although this secret technique is the most mysterious of the six secret techniques, the spiritual objects required are too difficult to collect, so Li Qing did not take it into consideration.

Secondly, "The Light of Pure Soul and Reincarnation" requires practitioners to have a deep understanding of Buddhist principles and possess a Buddhist Zen heart.

In addition, this secret method also has certain side effects.

Li Qing had never studied Buddhism, nor had he had any in-depth exposure to related content, so he naturally gave up the idea of ​​using this secret method.

However, he will still try to comprehend the various soul knowledge about the spirit and soul in order to gain more enlightenment and inspiration from it.

Finally, the "Spirit Contract Soul Devouring Technique" requires practitioners to entrust their own fate to others. This approach is obviously not in line with Li Qing's personality and pursuits.

He has always believed that true strength should come from one's own efforts and growth, rather than relying on external help or the power of others.

Therefore, Li Qing's choice is self-evident...

Now, the Soul-Splitting Worm Separation Technique has reached perfection. Li Qing's understanding of it is deep-rooted, and he knows every bit of its mystery clearly.

But he knew very well that theory was just theory after all. Without the test of practice, any secret technique would be nothing but a castle in the air.

Especially in high-risk operations like removing the imprint of martial arts skills, the slightest mistake could result in serious injuries at best, or even death at worst.

Now, Li Qing only mastered the theoretical knowledge of this secret method and has not tried and applied it even once.

You know, this secret method of soul-cutting is like surgery, especially when it is performed for the first time, the failure rate is often very high.

What's more, this secret technique that he integrated was a completely new existence that he had just created.

Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to find a suitable experimental subject to verify whether the actual effectiveness and safety of this secret method can be guaranteed.

In the training room, Li Qing sat on a cushion, his eyes slightly narrowed, his mind full of thoughts.

It didn't take long for him to make up his mind and think of a person.

After careful consideration, his eyes finally fixed on Zhou Yu in the Ghost King Sect.

This person is none other than Xu Rulin’s former evil clone, the continuation of Zhou Chun’s bloodline, Zhou Yu.

Li Qing had planned carefully at the beginning and secretly sent the jade slip containing the secret method of cultivating the inner demon to Zhou Yu.

He originally wanted to wait until Zhou Yu's cultivation reached the level of Divine Transformation and ascended to heaven, and then use the Sky-peeping Mirror refined by his wife to borrow Zhou Yu to spy on the true strength of the Heart-Eating Demon.

However, the world is like a new chess game, and in the torrent of time, countless variables quietly emerge, completely changing the original trajectory.

During these long years, Li Qing not only witnessed the true Heart-Eating Demon, but also gained a deep understanding of its elusive magical powers and unfathomable strength.

These discoveries were like a heavy hammer that shattered his original plan and made him realize that if he continued to act according to the original plan, he would be pushing himself completely into the abyss of death.

For Li Qing, although the gap in cultivation is huge, there is always a way to cross it.

After all, he possesses the cornucopia, a heaven-defying treasure that can copy the world's treasures and help him advance by leaps and bounds. One day, he will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those top powers, or even surpass them.

But what really frightened him were those enemies who were good at hiding, had strange means and had tenacious vitality.

They are like ghosts in the dark night, difficult to capture and even more difficult to eradicate. Even with the cornucopia that can improve his cultivation, he cannot completely deal with them.

Also because of the existence of the cornucopia, Li Qing had no need to fight to the death with it.

So, Li Qing began to re-examine his strategy and look for a more stable and effective approach.

He decided to try another method - to remove the imprint of the technique.

This is an extremely complicated and dangerous task, which involves deep cutting of the demon soul. Any mistake may lead to irreparable consequences.

What's even more difficult is that he has never practiced this secret technique himself and lacks sufficient experience and confidence.

Just when Li Qing was in a dilemma, the name Zhou Yu appeared in his mind.

Now, the only one who can become his test subject and whose situation is exactly the same as his is Zhou Yu, who has practiced the secret trap method of Heart Demon Seeding like him!

His existence seemed to be tailor-made for this experiment.

The imprint of the practice produced by the secret method of Heart Demon Seeding is different from other imprints. It is like a living thing and looks like an insect.

The only way to have reference value is to use Zhou Yu, who also practiced this secret method, for the experiment.

Thinking of this, Li Qing's slightly narrowed eyes opened completely, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Li Qing immediately made the decision to use Zhou Yu as a test subject.

By eliminating the imprint of the inner demon in his body, he could accumulate experience and test whether his secret method was feasible.

Sitting in the quiet training room, Li Qing's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

He suddenly decided to set off immediately to the Ghost King Sect to start this unprecedented journey of esoteric experiment.

Thinking of this, Li Qing's demonic power surged, attracting the pair of wings in his dantian that were being refined by the demonic fire.

The next moment, an extremely tiny green feather floated out of his mouth and then disappeared.

After doing all this, Li Qing turned his head and looked towards Chi Feng's position.

In his field of vision, he saw his wife sitting on the deck, with a zither placed in front of her...
