Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 974 - 287: [Ghost Race] (6600)_3

At the same time, in this state, to pray to the Heavenly Dao with a ritual.

The principle is somewhat similar to swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao, but the ritual method is more complex.

In this ritual, sacrifice your soul to the Heavenly Dao!

Let your soul relinquish half, sacrificing it to the Heavenly Dao, merging with it.

This merging with the Heavenly Dao is somewhat similar to Venerable Saints lodging their spirit in the Heavenly Dao, but the essence is still different.

The merging of Saints with the Heavenly Dao is like, "I am the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is me."

Whereas this cultivation method created by a Great Power, where an ordinary person’s first step in cultivation is to sacrifice part of their soul to the Heavenly Dao, is: "I belong to the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao is my father!"

This is a bit hard to bear!

Originally, cultivation was like becoming an apprentice, facing a teacher, tackling difficult tests, and striving to complete them, finally having the qualification to comprehend the Heavenly Dao after a realm breakthrough—being granted true teachings by the teacher.

Now...

Everyone goes to become an apprentice, everyone is working hard on difficult problems.

You do nothing upon entry, directly kneel on the ground, and kowtow to the teacher, acknowledging them as godfather!

If they’re your godfather, what test is needed?! They’re family now, alright, let’s skip the test and just start learning!

This... is unreasonable!

·

When this secret technique was created, initially, the entire Domain Realm scoffed at such a method.

What a joke! That is the Heavenly Dao!

The supreme Heavenly Dao!!

Only when you’ve cultivated to the level of Venerable Saints can you lodge your spirit in the Heavenly Dao, and only then will the Heavenly Dao accept your soul!

A mere mortal wants the Heavenly Dao to accept your soul?

How could the Heavenly Dao possibly accept it?!

·

The result was, the entire Domain Realm’s cultivators had their hearts shattered again.

The Heavenly Dao... really accepted it!

·

That Great Power traveled through the Southern Border mountain tribes, widely accepting disciples and spreading teachings.

After more than a decade, when his first batch of disciples came forth, the Domain Realm’s cultivators almost went mad!!

They indeed...

Really cultivated successfully!!!

When the first Southern Border mountain people cultivator on an alternative path, during a dueling technique in front of all eyes, demonstrated the use of Heavenly Dao power to drive a spell based on the rules of heaven and earth.

They beat a Demon Race cultivator to death on the spot!

Everyone watching felt like they were going crazy!

This cultivator was only at the First Realm!!

At the First Realm!!

Using Heavenly Dao power at the First Realm?!

Although very weak, far inferior to a Celestial Human Realm cultivator using Heavenly Dao power.

But it was genuinely Heavenly Dao power!!

Universally recognized in the Domain Realm, a spell driven by Heavenly Dao power, against a Primordial Qi-driven spell, is like pouring hot water on snow!

That time, a Southern Border mountain people cultivator on an alternative path, with cultivation only at the First Realm, killed a Second Realm Demon Cultivator on the spot!

Thus, they declared to the Domain Realm that they were an adopted son of the Heavenly Dao!

After the news spread throughout the Domain Realm, all sects and families couldn’t sit still.

All loose cultivators were eager to move—not just eager, but rushing to the Southern Border at all costs!

Soon, there were more and more reports.

Among the Southern Border mountain people, cultivators on alternative paths emerged one after another.

These people had not been cultivating long; they were the first batch of disciples after the Great Power passed down the alternate method.

The strongest one only reached the peak of the Third Realm—not even reaching the Celestial Human Realm!

But this group of First, Second, and Third Realm cultivators fought more than ten battles against the Demon Race in the Southern Border.

All victories!

Finally, when the Demon Race became riled up, a Great Demon of a tribe made a move.

The Demon Race’s realm distribution is essentially equivalent to the Human Race’s cultivation system in the Domain Realm.

A Great Demon is equivalent to the Celestial Human Realm, and beyond is Demon King (Golden Body Realm), Demon Emperor (Primordial Spirit Realm).

Above that is the Venerable Saint.

No need for titles like king or emperor then.

Once at Venerable Saint, it is transcendence, merging into one with the Heavenly Dao, almost undying and indestructible, making titles like king, emperor, or sovereign rather too mundane.

A Great Demon, equivalent to Celestial Human Realm, personally stepped forward.

And the result was...

In that dueling technique, a Third Realm cultivator on an alternative path, in a one-on-one duel, accepted the Great Demon’s challenge, and eventually...

Both were severely injured!

If the previous news was shocking to everyone...

Then a Third Realm cultivator, actually fighting a Celestial Human Realm Great Demon to mutual devastation, nearly perishing together.

This result was not just shocking.

It terrified all the major sects and families of the Domain Realm!!

Under normal circumstances, a Celestial Human Realm cultivator fighting an Ascension Realm cultivator, though only one level higher, is drastically different!

A Celestial Human Realm (Fourth Realm) cultivator fighting an Ascension Realm (Third Realm) one is like a strong man with a machete fighting a child.

No matter how many children you send, ten or a hundred, they would be slain by the machete-wielding strong man unless they run away.

But with that Reversed Celestial Spirit alternative method...

Third Realm actually fought Fourth Realm to mutual devastation?!

Alright then...

Though the Demon Race’s cultivation techniques have always been crude.

Though the Demon Race has always overly relied on innate talents, leaving significant weaknesses in dueling techniques.

But...

That was still the Fourth Realm! A Great Demon, a Celestial Human Realm entity, entering the second phase of a cultivator!!

Now no one calls it "alternative method" anymore!

What alternative method!

That is clearly a Divine Skill!!

·

This time the major sects and families in the Domain Realm, although they had already sent capable envoys to the Southern Border.

Now it seems far from enough!
