Chapter 246: Two Bamboo Slips
At that moment, Shen Wutian finally spoke again, "Exchange it for your Divine Dao cultivation method!"
Seeing your troubled expression, Shen Wutian continued to up the ante.
He said, at the very least, you must exchange half of your Divine Dao cultivation method for the wooden box in his hand.
If you're unwilling, then the deal is off.
Finally, he added, if you want to use force?
Then it will be a fight to the death.
After all, the wooden box doesn't contain the key secret of this place.
At worst, he'll die with the true secret of this place.
That way, you'll never know the secret here.
Shen Wutian was also quite helpless.Unable to defeat you, he could only threaten you this way!
You frowned slightly.
This Shen Wutian was really troublesome.
Maybe just punch him to death?
In the end, you held back your impulsive thoughts.
You told Shen Wutian, "The Divine Dao isn't actually difficult. Once you understand its principles, it's easy; to cultivate chaotic energy, just merge spiritual energy with primordial energy."
After speaking, you even demonstrated it once.
After finishing the demonstration, you extended your hand, signaling Shen Wutian to hand over the wooden box.
Shen Wutian felt something was off.
Could the Divine Dao really be this simple?
But you operated right under his nose.
It seemed impossible to fake.
Could it really just be an information barrier?
Those who don't understand find it difficult, but the reality is this simple?
It must be so.
Shen Wutian convinced himself.
So, he directly handed the wooden box to you.
Of course, he thought about going back on his word.
But your fists were bigger, so he didn't dare.
You exchanged smiles, both satisfied!
Afterward, Shen Wutian began to repair his Qi Sea.
He wanted to study the fusion of spiritual energy and primordial energy after repairing his Qi Sea.
Actually, there was one thing you didn't lie to Shen Wutian about.
Chaotic energy is indeed the key to the strength of the Divine Dao.
If someone truly transformed all the spiritual energy in their Qi Sea into chaotic energy, they might really cultivate a Pseudo-Divine Dao.
Yes, a being with combat power close to the Divine Dao.
After all, this higher-level energy, chaotic energy, can make attacks stronger and physical defense tougher.
However, you did hide one crucial piece of information.
That is, chaotic energy cannot be directly absorbed.
Even if Shen Wutian could merge chaotic energy outside his body, he couldn't absorb it into his body to cultivate a Pseudo-Divine Dao.
As for merging spiritual energy and primordial energy into chaotic energy inside the body?
Heh, that's impossible.
For those not cultivating the Divine Dao, spiritual energy and primordial energy are like two parallel lines that never meet.
If spiritual energy and primordial energy can't even touch, how can they merge?
Only those cultivating the Divine Dao can use the characteristics of a Twelfth-grade Golden Core to intersect primordial energy and spiritual energy.
Only then can they merge chaotic energy within their body.
You could say, in this round of confrontation, you had a slight victory.
But this also left a hidden danger.
Once Shen Wutian repairs his Qi Sea, he might easily discover that you tricked him.
At that time, it might make Shen Wutian even more reluctant to reveal the secret of this place.
However, since you dared to do this.
You naturally have a way to deal with it.
You're not worried about him discovering the issue.
Right now, you're more interested in what's inside this wooden box.
Shen Wutian said it was discovered in this ancient relic.
And exchanging it for your "Divine Dao manual" should have some significance!
You open the wooden box.
Inside are two rolls of yellowed bamboo slips.
"Bamboo slips?" you murmur with a slight frown.
Not many people use these.
Although this world is a cultivation civilization, it actually has paper.
With paper available, who would still use bamboo slips?
It seems these really are relics from ancient times.
Judging by the preservation, the bamboo slips are in good condition, with no damage.
It seems to be something quite important.
This piques your curiosity about the contents of the bamboo slips.
You slowly open the first bamboo slip.
But as soon as you see the first character, something feels off.
The handwriting seems somewhat familiar.
You frown and continue reading.
But after just two lines.
Your pupils start to contract.
Damn, it's the Devouring Spirit Art.
Realizing it's the Devouring Spirit Art, you look at the handwriting on the bamboo slip again.
A wry smile appears on your lips.
No wonder the handwriting seemed familiar.
Turns out, it was written by you.
That's right, you already know this must be the bamboo slip you left behind.
As for when?
You think it must have been during the last simulation, ten billion years ago.
At that time, you were spreading your teachings everywhere.
Leaving behind manuals and techniques isn't surprising.
Of course, this is all your deduction, as you didn't choose to retain memories in the last simulation.
But you believe this deduction is correct.
You calm your emotions.
And continue reading the bamboo slip!
Not long after, you finish reading the first bamboo slip.
Overall, the bamboo slip records the cultivation method of the Devouring Spirit Art, the introductory body refining method of the War God Art, and experiences on how to refine a Golden Core and cultivate the Divine Dao. Ɽ
The War God Art section doesn't include the Silent Destruction Fist, War God Body, or Sword of Killing Intent, those battle techniques.
Thinking about it, it makes sense, as in the last simulation, ten billion years ago.
You seem to have only taught those techniques to Peach.
So, this bamboo slip can be ruled out as something left by Peach.
Suddenly, you think of a question.
There's a high chance Shen Wutian learned about the Divine Dao from the bamboo slip you left behind.
And this bamboo slip was left by you in the last simulation!
So, the "mediocre teacher" you cursed before was actually yourself?
Forget it, it's not important!
Cursing is cursing.
Are you going to beat yourself up?
You gather your thoughts and focus on the second bamboo slip.
You have a hunch that this bamboo slip might reveal some secrets to you.
You open the bamboo slip and start reading.
The more you read, the deeper your frown becomes.
Dark Arts!
This is a blatant Dark Art.
You finally understand where Shen Wutian's Divine Dao Dark Art came from.
It's from this bamboo slip.
It records numerous experimental processes.
Including plundering the blood essence of Divine Dao cultivators, seizing their Primordial Spirit...
Until finally, it shows seizing the Nascent Soul of Divine Dao cultivators, then using the blood essence of countless cultivators' vengeful spirits to corrode it, forcibly cultivating the Divine Dao after the Core Formation stage.
It's unimaginable how many cultivators' lives were sacrificed to develop this Dark Art.
For a moment, you feel a surge of anger.
Until you see the signature at the end of the bamboo slip: Jiang Erbao!
Instantly, the flames of anger in your heart rise even higher, and you can't help but shout in fury, "You beast!"
