Chapter 588: 539 Surprise Three_2

The Snow Lotus Flower Language doubled his comprehension, allowing him to gain faint insights unconsciously as he read the brief annotations alone, deepening his understanding of the two paths, the Thousand Face Sword Canon and the Yin Canon.

’The Thousand Face Sword Canon prioritizes the cultivation of the spirit, everything is for strengthening one’s own spirit to serve, with the ultimate goal of collecting external consciousness and will, and transforming it into one’s own power. This is the Slaughter Technique.’

’The Yin Canon, on the other hand, is the method for longevity. In the True Fire Realm, it focuses on turning oneself into a furnace, a path that involves burning others to enlighten oneself and all beings. The self as a furnace is also a flexible and reinforcing structure, undoubtedly more adaptable to varying circumstances than the previous Thousand Face Sword Canon. Depending on what situation arises, burn whatever can resolve the problem at hand, and then produce different types of True Fire to overcome the difficulties. Compared to the Faceless Sword Sect, it is clearly more extensive and on a higher level.’

This was the difference between responding to change with immutability and adapting to change with change.

’Nothing in the world is unchanging, all beings are like this, and so am I.’ A patriarch from Tian Ju Pavilion, Daoist Huo Qing, wrote this in the Yin Canon.

’Makes sense... However, despite its higher conception, the techniques from Tian Ju Pavilion do consume a lot more external resources and can easily provoke widespread anger. If you burn others, naturally they will be infuriated and resist... In comparison, the Thousand Face Sword Canon is much more resource-efficient and covert. All it takes is to observe the will of others, and then the Primordial Spirit Sword can change... Elevate the realm, and condense the Primordial Spirit Seal.’

Li Chengyi weighed his options internally.

The Thousand Face Sword Canon wasn’t picky about external resources, but the Yin Canon from Tian Ju Pavilion was resource-intensive and could easily backfire.

He had made up his mind.

After a few minutes of contemplation, he decided to cultivate both!

After all, the two methods were not in conflict, as long as there were enough Origin Seals to condense, they could be practiced together.

’Worst case scenario, I’ll refine a large sword furnace composed of Origin Seals! One that can both cut down foes and act as a furnace for burning.’

Once he determined his path, he immediately began practicing the Thousand Face Sword Canon.

His exceptional comprehension now came into effect.

Nine condensation methods, in just under three hours, Li Chengyi had basically grasped them all, a step that would take the elders of the Faceless Sword Sect at least a few years to complete.

Of course, that wasn’t the key point; the nine levels only provided nine different methods of condensing others’ will to transform the Primordial Spirit Sword.

Having the methods was one thing; the main issue was still the materials.

The materials were unique; they required gathering the highly sublimated will structures of others.

Li Chengyi, sitting in his office, slowly opened his eyes.

’Such materials can only be possessed by those with extremely strong wills.’

He thought for a moment, then decided to first observe his surroundings to see if he could find someone nearby to try.

With a single thought, a large amount of Consciousness Power condensed into a transparent and obscure field sphere, floating in front of him.

Consciousness itself originates from the field made up of brainwaves, and it does have traces that can be followed. When such a field becomes strong enough, its faintness turns into a special power capable of affecting reality.

This was now the situation for Li Chengyi.

’Next, I need to find a suitable candidate and absorb their will structure and essence to complete the condensation of the Primordial Spirit Sword’s Origin Seal.’

Essentially, this meant finding a person with extreme willpower, and using their dazzling radiance to sublimate one’s own spirit.

’On the other hand, the Seal Ring furnace structure of the Yin Canon requires constantly condensing more new Origin Seals so each one can be crafted and concentrated – I can only roughly shape the exterior for now, still a few short of twenty.’

Additionally, altering the shape of the Primordial Spirit requires a considerable amount of rare materials for safe completion.

This was an essential step in the creation of the Yin Canon’s furnace, one that must be undertaken.

The Yin Canon lists numerous substitute types for materials.

"An animal’s eyeball that can heat up automatically to the point of igniting paper, a creature’s arm that causes petrification upon touch, a rock over five billion years old (weighing more than ten kilograms), a live master-level singing filled with sadness and despair (not a copy), and a large amount of multicolored natural energy condensed into rhombic-shaped natural crystal pillars."

After organizing the information, all that was left was to wait for the subsequent collection.

Snapping back to reality, Li Chengyi took a deep breath and waved his hand to dissipate the deathly aura of the magic array around him.

Suddenly, a faint sound of conversation came from the living room of the office.

It wasn’t Nilan or Dunis speaking, but another girl, whose voice was gentle and delicate.

A visitor?

Li Chengyi stood up, opened the door, and walked out of his office.

In the white, spacious living room, on a brown new sofa, sat a young girl with dark purple hair.

The girl appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a gentle demeanor and eyes like pools of water. Her orange irises were like soft lighting, warm and friendly.

She wasn’t particularly beautiful, even somewhat common in appearance, with a noticeable purple and black birthmark on her left cheek, but compared to the striking Nilan, this girl naturally drew attention to herself just by sitting there.

Li Chengyi instantly remembered the girl’s appearance. She had been in the car downstairs when people from the New Moon Congregation came to see Wennis. It seemed that she had helped drive away the two visiting members of the Blood Tribe.

He had felt then that the girl might have a significant background, and now, seeing her in a brown petite suit, ladies’ floral collar white shirt, and matching suit skirt adorned with meticulous craftsmanship and details, it was clear she was not of the same league as Nilan beside her. The orange leather boots she wore were even inlaid with yellow crystals and gold thread on the sides.

Most extravagantly, those crystals seemed to be emitting a faint heat, clearly supernatural in nature.

Just this pair of boots alone could probably purchase the entire office at market value, with plenty to spare.

To put it simply, she was rich, very rich, extraordinarily rich.

"I’m sorry for the intrusion. My name is Durania, and I’m a friend of Nilan’s. I heard she works here, so I wanted to come see the place. I hope I haven’t disturbed you,"

Upon seeing Li Chengyi emerge, the girl stood up, bowed slightly with an apologetic smile on her face.

That smile, like sunshine, made Li Chengyi’s otherwise ordinary mood warm up a bit.

This emotional contagion...

He was certain in his heart, this girl... had quite a strong talent in consciousness power...

"Oh, you’re Nilan’s friend? I’m Li Chengyi, Nilan’s boss. No problem, you’re not disturbing anything; please, go ahead and chat," Li Chengyi responded with a polite smile.

He always had a good impression of polite children.

"Actually, I have another audacious request for coming here..." Durania spoke up again.

"What is it? If it’s not too troublesome, I might consider it," Li Chengyi replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. It’s just that sister Nilan might have a temperament that’s easily agitated, so if she says or does something inappropriate that displeases Mr. Li, I hope you can indulge her a bit."

As she spoke, Durania gently removed a white gold ring from her finger.

"This is my token. If Mr. Li encounters any trouble or difficult problems that you can’t resolve, you can use this to exchange for help at the Lindian Commerce Association once."
