"Ninety divine abilities, then am I not fast approaching the Yellow Springs Great Emperor? The Yellow Springs Great Emperor only had ninety-nine divine abilities! Refining the Nine Ghosts Origin Soul, I will be the number one person below the Longevity Secret Realm!"
Comprehending the Nine Ghosts Origin Soul, Fang Han felt excited in his heart. The Ghost Emperor's "Nine Ghosts Origin Soul" contained thirty-four types of great divine abilities, and they did not overlap with his own divine abilities.
What the Ghost Emperor cultivated were all ghost dao demonic arts, whereas Fang Han's current divine abilities were either immortal arts from the Taiyi Sect or the Dao of Stars, completely upright and orthodox. Although the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability was infused with the word "Demon", it was actually the supreme ruling art of the five elements, and had absolutely nothing to do with demons.
"Do not rejoice too early. The ninety-nine divine abilities cultivated by the Yellow Springs Great Emperor, each type of divine ability, was of the supreme level, and the ninety-nine divine abilities were a set of inheritance, complementing each other. They formed a Grand Reincarnation Art, incomparably pure, manifesting the laws of heaven and earth. And your current divine abilities, are the Dao of Stars, and the Art of Praying for Fortune, and the Art of Phantoms, a chaotic jumble. Some even restrain each other. If it were not for the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability being the core you cultivate suppressing them, you would have already suffered qi deviation and died long ago. Wait until the future, when you cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm, you will have to re-refine your divine abilities, removing some unneeded divine abilities and sealing them onto magical artifacts."
Yan seemed to have sensed Fang Han's spirit, and poured cold water on him amidst his busy schedule.
"I naturally know this. Wait until I cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm, I will naturally cultivate my own divine abilities anew. Transforming them to be pure, but right now all of that is unmentionable. Right now I am still in primitive accumulation, I cannot refine them. I must do everything possible to elevate my own strength!"
Fang Han was very clear about his own situation.
His divine abilities, other than the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability, the Great Severing Art, and the Panwu Great Power Divine Ability being cultivated by himself, the rest all relied on plundering and devouring. His foundation was very unstable, equivalent to a castle in the air. Although he could rely on this primitive accumulation to reach the Longevity Secret Realm, after the Longevity Secret Realm, there was still a very long road to walk. On this stretch of road, for a person who suddenly erupted like him, it would be extremely difficult.
The Longevity Secret Realm, also had ten tiers.
Every tier, contained the laws of heaven and earth.
When cultivating them, relying on plundering would not work, it basically had to rely on one's own comprehension.
Fang Han knew, sooner or later he would have to re-cultivate his divine abilities, walk his own path, and even like Immortal Venerable Linglong, create his own supreme divine abilities.
However, this was a matter for the future, not to be considered right now. Right now it was just plundering, plundering, and plundering again, completing the primitive accumulation.
Regarding all this, his heart was as bright as a mirror, his cultivation path was also very clear, without a trace of confusion. What to do in the future, what to do during the Divine Ability Realm, what to do after the Longevity Secret Realm, he had distinct plans for all of them. Regarding his own actions, he determined them to be right, absolutely without the slightest bit of hesitation.
This was the broadly tolerant mind of a great sage, a pioneer.
The designated path, even if pointed at by a thousand pointing fingers, he absolutely would not waver. A cultivator, if his heart held confusion, could not achieve the Great Dao.
In the "Taiyuan Immortal Mansion", following the mysterious person to study for eighteen years, laying down a solid foundation, established his belief and persistence.
"Let me first see, what kind of divine abilities exactly does the Nine Ghosts Origin Soul contain? Black Phantom King, you also come take a look. You are relatively familiar with the ghost dao. Yan, this old dragon, cannot help with anything right now."
Grabbing with his hand, Fang Han grabbed the Black Phantom King into the Gate of Avici.
This was the Black Phantom King's first time seeing the situation of the Ghost Emperor's Nine Ghosts Origin Soul being suppressed.
The "Ghost Emperor" was his senior, achieving fame two thousand years earlier than him, illustriously famous, and a fierce character in the Ten Palaces of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, but now he was directly suppressed by Fang Han, even his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was refined. The Black Phantom King felt a chill in his heart as well. This was a bloody, living example, he could not help but feel alarmed and terrified.
"The Ghost Emperor's Nine Ghosts Origin Soul, is extremely formidable. It was tempered in the Great Nether Demonic Qi in the deep underground abyss for five hundred years, passing various tribulations, before being continuously condensed out. His thirty-four types of divine abilities, are all the essence of the ghost dao. Aside from the core Five Elements Demonic Ghost Great Art, there are twenty-nine other types of divine abilities." The Black Phantom King seemed to enumerate the Ghost Emperor's cultivation methods like his family treasures.
An expert of the same sect, he naturally had to know him like the back of his hand.
"That Five Elements Demonic Ghost Great Art, is the core foundation. It is a branch of the Sect Master's Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability, having been altered. Its might is also very huge. It is gathering the essence qi of the five elements, then melding in the souls and ferocious hostility of ten million living beings, refining into five great demonic ghosts. They are origin demonic ghosts, capable of absorbing the souls of mortals to grow."
"Oh? Then how many sins does this create?" Once Fang Han heard this, he knew this divine ability, required killing people, and required killing many people! Of course, demonic dao cultivation methods, generally required killing people before they could be cultivated. Therefore they provoked the wrath of heaven and resentment of men, and were not tolerated by the orthodox dao.
Although Fang Han cultivated and was unscrupulous in his plundering, he had a sense of propriety. He would not go into the secular world to randomly kill innocents, extracting souls, placentas, bone marrow and such to ritualistically refine his divine abilities. Those were acts untolerated by heavenly principles.
Therefore, he was currently still a person of the orthodox dao.
"When cultivating the demonic dao, where is there not sin creation. The deeper the sin, the stronger the demonic art. So-called killing a hundred people, is a ghost, killing ten thousand people, is a demon, killing a million people, is a demon emperor, killing hundreds of millions of people, is a demon among demons." The Black Phantom King said, obviously, he had also killed many innocents to cultivate demonic arts, his demonic nature hard to tame.
"After you follow me, absolutely do not randomly kill innocents anymore, to cultivate divine abilities. Otherwise I won't be able to tolerate you, and the Yuhua Sect won't be able to tolerate you either." Fang Han said, "As for doing more good deeds in the future to make up for your sins, I estimate you cannot do that. However, in the future you can also kill more of those people in the demonic dao who are full of heinous crimes. Killing one person, saves a thousand million people. And you can even plunder their demonic arts. This is permissible. Stopping killing with killing, checking violence with violence. This has always been my method."
"Yes! Sect Master." The Black Phantom King's eyes flickered, not daring to resist Fang Han.
"Alright, speak about the other twenty-nine divine abilities of the Ghost Emperor's Nine Ghosts Origin Soul. Speak in detail, I am listening." Fang Han asked the Black Phantom King to identify them.
"Sect Master, the Ghost Emperor respectively cultivated Ghost Soul Qi Art, Secret Demon Yin Thunder, White Bone Soul Chasing Hand, Hungry Ghost God Swallowing Art, Profound Yin Beast Condensing Art, Black Malignant Great Handprint, Myriad Demons Soul Locking Great Art, Yin Soul Rope, Extreme Yin God Slaughtering Art, Wronged Ghost Yang Absorbing Art, Seven Emotions Great Handprint, Six Desires Evil Dragon Qi, Mother and Child Heavenly Ghost Avatar, Three Corpses Nascent Soul, Black Rain Immortal Slaughtering Great Art, Black Blue Silk Net Array, Mad Demon Great Qi Art, Yin Yang Great Plucking and Replenishing, Joyous Bewilderment Art, Divine Infant Sword Qi, Blood Infant Sword Qi, Ghost Infant Sword Qi, Fierce Ghost Great Dharma Body, Netherworld Purple River Chariot, Origin Fetus Demonic Seed, Great Strength Ghost King Claw, Soul Snatching Demonic Sound, Heavenly Corpse Force, and Netherworld Ghost Fire. Originally, the Ghost Emperor cultivated a total of thirty-six ghost dao divine abilities, but to refine the Ghost Snake Sword and the Sky Shrouding Demonic Hand, he melded the Ghost Snake Qi Art and the Sky Shrouding Demonic Art, entirely into the two treasures."
The Black Phantom King introduced these ghost dao divine abilities to Fang Han one by one. He was also an old demonic head who had cultivated for a thousand years, and researched the demonic dao quite deeply, his demonic nature profound. Introducing them one by one like this, there was not the slightest confusion. For example, cultivating the Divine Infant Sword Qi, required how many babies born at noon, and the Blood Infant Sword, again required how many pairs of virgin boys and girls, and that Ghost Infant Sword Qi, again required how many infant souls…
And that Netherworld Purple River Chariot, how many placentas it required, how to ritualistically refine it, various cruelties and maliciousness, told one by one, simply unfolded a terrifyingly blood-dripping picture of the demonic dao.
Even Fang Han’s heart felt cold hearing these cultivation methods.
He only then realized, compared to people of the demonic dao, Zhao Xuanyi, Hua Tiandu and these people simply were as kind as good little babies. At most they were a bit more insidious, a bit more venomous, yet not cruel.
Up until now, he only then completely knew, why the demonic dao was the demonic dao, and why the orthodox dao was the orthodox dao. It was simply an obvious dividing point.
Among people in the orthodox dao, there were also those whose minds were not upright, but they had not reached the point of extinguishing human nature.
"It seems, I must turn the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect back to the orthodox dao. I don't need them to be good people, but they absolutely cannot be bad people right." Fang Han thought in his heart, regarding what a "demon" was, his understanding was now much more profound.
"Cultivating this Nine Ghosts Origin Soul, created a lot of wrongful sins. If I accommodate it into my body, unseen in the dark, I'm afraid I will have to bear some of the wrongful karmic ties and resentment created by the Ghost Emperor, affecting my own luck and fortune, however it would really be too much of a pity if I easily discard these divine abilities." Fang Han said pondering deeply, "Anyway I made a grand vow, to subdue the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, making them return to the orthodox dao. I do not know how many wrongful sins this will avert in the future, unseen in the dark this is a huge blessed reward. There is no harm in refining the Nine Ghosts Origin Soul."
Luck, immortal affinity, karma, these things were all extremely profound and subtle, tying into past, present, future, endlessly deep transformations. Even experts of the Longevity Secret Realm found it difficult to pierce through and deduce clearly.
Only cultivators infinitely close to the Immortal World, might know some shifts in fortune.
With Fang Han currently as an insignificant character at the sixth tier of the Divine Ability Realm, the Return to One Realm, it was impossible for him to understand things on such a deep level. Of course, he was different from other cultivators, having comprehended the profound and subtle, received guidance from an expert, and more so researched the "Art of Praying for Fortune" quite deeply. He had some estimations of his own luck. His current luck, was in a peak period, therefore whatever he did basically possessed no danger. However, in a person's lifetime, there was always a time when luck declined, and at that time one had to be cautious, otherwise even drinking cold water would get stuck in the teeth.
Truly brilliant cultivators, learned to seek good fortune and avoid disasters. When luck was good, haul in a huge profit, when luck was bad, hide in a safe place and don't come out.
There were even some supreme powerhouses, doing things that accorded with the rules of heaven and earth, keeping their luck in the most intense moment at all times. This kind of person was boundlessly terrifying.
"Black Phantom King, you can go out. Protect the dharma for me on the mountain peak. If someone disturbs me, drive them away. I am now going to use a gourd of the Vow Power of Sentient Beings to open up my brain, and cultivate supreme divine abilities. Wait until my divine abilities achieve great completion, your benefits will not be small." Fang Han waved his hand, letting the Black Phantom King out, and then poured that gourd of the Vow Power of Sentient Beings into the Yellow Springs Diagram's Water of Forgetfulness, to wash it down first.
He did not trust anyone, even the Star Lord, he did not entirely trust.
First washing down this gourd of the Vow Power of Sentient Beings, after tempering it, he could then absorb it.
