Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Oh? Tell me about it." Jing Yu's heart moved.

"Did the master forget the [Small Demon Refining Pot]?"

The Immortal in the Pot said: "This pot can not only refine monsters, but also refine monster souls."

"Master only needs to refine a demon soul of the Divine Transformation level and then instill the consciousness of [Protecting Penglai Immortal Continent] into it."

"The demon souls fused and refined by the Demon Refining Pot have no independent consciousness and will never harbor the desire to rebel, but they can act according to their set instincts. Ordinary fighting methods are sufficient for them."

"At the same time, this demon soul will not obey the orders of any other cultivators except its master. It can maintain its independence very well and will not be controlled by any Taoist sect."

Jing Yu touched his chin and thought: "That's a solution..."

So he told Yang Dingfeng about this matter, which surprised him. "The Xuanjing also has this kind of secret method? If so... that would be great. I will go back and discuss this with my fellow Taoists. I believe that all Taoist sects will be able to accept this result."

This place was not far from the major sects in Zhongzhou, so Jing Yu bid farewell to Yang Dingfeng directly, escaped into the void, and soon returned to his own cave residence on Tianxu Island in the East China Sea.

He sat upright on the cushion, thinking:

"Now that the calamity of the Divine Cauldron has been resolved, only Ying Jin remains, hiding in the Immortal Mansion's spiritual artifact. We just have to wait for her to die from being trapped inside. She is not a big threat."

"Xiao Guanying has also transformed himself into a Dao. As long as Xiao Shihua doesn't cause any more trouble, the Heavenly Court won't have to worry about it."

"With Fellow Daoist Lu guarding the Immortal Continent, there are no more threats in the lower realms. I can finally practice cultivation properly!"

When Jing Yu thought of this, he decided to go into deep seclusion and try to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm in one go!

Now Jing Yu has mastered several major laws, and his magic power and true essence are almost perfected. Now, there are only two problems that hinder him from becoming a god.

The first one is the Spirit Transformation Chapter of the [Questioning the Mirror and Observing Fate Method].

Jing Yu now has an idea of ​​this method. He just needs to follow the steps, observe and experiment with other people's destinies. It will not be difficult to create his own method.

The second is the stability of the combination of rules.

"Since ancient times, a nine-orifice Yuanying can follow either the [Balance of Heaven and Man] or the [Monarch, Minister, and Assistant] theories, while a ten-orifice Yuanying..."

Jing Yu frowned and thought hard: "It's a bit difficult."

His original general idea was to refer to the two major theories of [Balance between Heaven and Man] and [Ruler, Minister, Assistant and Envoy], that is, to divide the ten laws into two systems.

Among them, the nine laws of [time and space], [yin and yang], and [five elements] follow the path of [balance between heaven and man], forming a tight and complete system.

The [Law of Fate] is singled out and placed in a high position to directly command the entire balance system and complete the [ruler, ministers, assistants and envoys].

But this concept has a very obvious flaw, that is, the king's law placed in a high position must be strong enough to overwhelm the entire balance system.

However, the [Law of Life], which had just taken shape, could not do this at all.

The core of the [King, Ministers, Assistants and Envoys] Taoism is that the king's laws, which are placed in a high position, suppress the rest of the laws, but that is under the premise that the rest of the laws are scattered and fighting each other.

But if the nine laws constitute the [Balance between Heaven and Man] system alone, then the connection between them will be extremely close.

If the ordinary theory of "Monarch, Ministers, Assistants and Envoys" states that the monarch's rule is to subdue eight princes and ministers who are fighting with each other and have their own thoughts, then the perfect system conceived by Jing Yu is equivalent to allowing a young monarch to directly subdue nine princes and ministers who are in collusion with each other and have a rock-solid alliance.

This was clearly beyond his capabilities.

Jing Yu took out the "Nine Strategies of the Qian Gang" that Xiao Guanying had given him earlier and flipped through it casually. He saw the opening general outline saying:

"Qian Yuan is the only one in power, and the moral principles are self-sustaining."

"The sky covers all without discrimination, and the emperor carries all without discrimination."

"All things return to their origin, and only commandments are obeyed."

"I am the Way of Heaven, and my words are followed by the law."

"In the three realms and six paths, no one dares to disobey."

“—This is the essence of [the principle of absolute authority].”

Jing Yu raised an eyebrow: "So domineering..."

He skipped the opening outline and went straight to the chapter on the transformation of the spirit, trying to refer to Xiao Guanying's experience when he was in the transformation of the spirit. Sure enough, he found some ideas -

The situation Xiao Guanying faces is in a sense quite similar to Jing Yu's, but also different... Although the [Qian Gang Law] is an incomplete law and is essentially weaker than top-level laws such as the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, it was at least once glorious. In short, his ancestors were wealthy.

Jing Yu's [Law of Life] was created from nothing. There was no mention of this law before, and now it is just a prototype.

But although the weak laws are also placed in a high position, Xiao Guanying's handling method is indeed worth referring to.

Xiao Guanying's infant has become a nine-orifice infant, and [Qian Gang] is the most overbearing law, which will never allow other laws to interfere with the supreme position. The Taoist theory he adopted is undoubtedly [King, Minister, Assistant and Envoy].

In order to make the [Qian Gang Law] suppress the top-level law [Five Elements Yin and Yang], Xiao Guanying's method was also quite constructive -

It is to constantly [reduce the power of the vassal states] and [balance].

During the practice, Xiao Guanying would first deliberately slow down the speed of understanding the other laws, making their level of comprehension far inferior to the [Qian Gang Law].

Secondly, it will provoke constant conflict and opposition among the other laws, thereby weakening and balancing the other laws.

This made Jing Yu frown... He cultivated a law and developed the mentality of an emperor. This made him feel a little dissatisfied. Xiao Guanying was indeed born to be an emperor.

However, Emperor Xiao Tian's move does have its merits. The benefits are self-evident, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

Weakening the other laws will actually greatly hinder its own combat effectiveness.

Both are in the late stage of transformation of the spirit. The power of the law of balance between heaven and man and the flow of life is absolutely different from the power of the law of opposition, conflict and weakening of internal friction in terms of power and magic.

Jing Yu naturally didn't want him to be like Xiao Guanying, who relied entirely on the [Qian Gang] law to hold the fort during a fight - besides, the [Law of Life] itself was not a law power that was good at fighting.

He can't follow Xiao Guanying's path.

But wrong experiences are also very valuable. In a sense, on the path of cultivation, definite mistakes are much more important than vague correct ones. The former can directly eliminate a clear path, but the latter is very likely to lead the cultivator astray.

At this moment, Jing Yu had already installed the two life beads of [Talented Intelligence] and [Extensive Knowledge] on the [Chanxuan Life Plate]. Countless insights flooded his mind, but it still took him several years to find another seemingly feasible method:

"Since the Law of Fate is weak and cannot be a king, why must it be forced to suppress the other laws?"

"A specific emperor may be replaced or overthrown, but there will always be someone who wants to be emperor!"

"The emperor cannot live forever, nor can he hold on to his throne forever, but imperial power itself is eternal..."
