Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 608 - 517: Dao Embryo! (Part 2)

And the Dao Embryo of this Blood Lotus Great World seems to be reversed.

First, an unknown intention gathers, beguiling the devout followers, using their sacrificial power to slowly condense the body of the Dao Embryo, like a cocooned silkworm, eventually metamorphosing into a moth.

"If this is true, then this Dao Embryo is not born of Heaven and Earth..."

Glimpsing the essence of the Dao Embryo, the Daoist of the Taiyin seemed to have discovered a new continent, with brilliant light in his eyes as if he could pierce through the void.

What is the Dao Embryo?

It is the essence of the Great Dao condensed!

If one can refine and assimilate it, it can save countless hardships, more effective than any Miraculous Elixirs, or Sublime Dharma Transmission.

"Whether it works or not, trying won't hurt!"

Eager to find out if the Dao Embryo can be refined and used, the Daoist of the Taiyin subconsciously wanted to grab a Two-Faced Person for a practice test.

But this thought was dismissed as soon as it arose.

Although the Two-Faced People of this Blood Lotus Great World appeared almost identical to the Tianyuan Human Race,

they do not follow the path of the Daoist Disciples, and therefore have no meridians or acupoints within.

Even if he captured two Two-Faced People and controlled them, they couldn't refine the Dao Embryo in their hands.

"Do I have to do it myself then?"

Gazing at the Dao Embryo in his hand, the Daoist of the Taiyin furrowed his brow.

In this Blood Lotus Great World, there are only two cultivators now.

One is him, the other is his true self.

Although he is an avatar created from the Dual Heart Realm, in a way, he is not connected to his true self.

But the punishment of the Heavenly Dao is mysterious and unavoidable.

If he refines this Dao Embryo and provokes divine retribution, it might implicate his true self.

His true self is currently in seclusion, cultivating an External Incarnation. If this delays the progress, he doesn't want to be sent to solitary confinement.

After much thought, the Daoist of the Taiyin decided to prioritize caution.

Before leaving, his true self gave repeated instructions to prioritize safety.

With a wave, he transformed the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner. The Daoist of the Taiyin lightly shook the big banner, amidst the swirling thick black smoke, a White Bone Demon was summoned.

He used a spell to seal the Dao Embryo in the skull of the White Bone Demon, extending a finger to release a black gleam.

The eyes of the White Bone Demon suddenly lit up with a blaze, reflecting the place where his true self is in seclusion.

In the next instant, the White Bone Demon plunged into the void, vanishing in a flash.

Watching the White Bone Demon depart, the Daoist of the Taiyin stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze slightly moving:

"I'll leave this matter for my true self to decide. But before that..."

He turned his body slowly, gazing at the giant city behind him, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up:

"I can help my true self gather some useful materials first..."

...

Deep in the vast snow mountains.

The goose feather snow fell ceaselessly, the vines and roots interspersed through the mountain mass slowly wriggled, as if they wanted to dig deeper into this world.

Within the parallel independent Hunyuan Palace.

Qi Xiu sat cross-legged, eyes closed, behind him appeared the complete figure of the Dao Immortal Hunyuan Daoist, holding the book condensed from the method of External Incarnation, reciting the sound of the Dao, transforming into spiritual resonance that scattered.

His hands formed a virtual seal, Qi Xiu's breathing was calm and deep, every breath seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth, faint divine fluctuations could be seen around him.

Vaguely, it seemed like a phantom extremely similar to him.

The cultivation of External Incarnation proved to be far more difficult than Qi Xiu expected.

This secret technique capable of turning into thousands sounds unparalleled but is filled with peril in practice.

The biggest challenge of External Incarnation undoubtedly lies in deriving an independent, complete, and controlled consciousness within the Incarnation.

Unlike Taiyin and Taiyang, these two identities are manifested by the Hell Dao's secret treasure [Dual Heart Realm].

The True Monarch of the Dao Body does not possess such means to derive independent consciousness.

According to the essentials of External Incarnation.

The most direct and simple way to bestow consciousness upon an External Incarnation is to imbue a Divine Soul Thought into it.

But this substantial and powerful Divine Soul Thought is exclusive to the Primordial Spirit True Honor.

The True Monarch of the Dao Body cannot reach this level at all.

Besides imbuing with thought, only splitting his own Divine Soul to control the External Incarnation remains.

But this method is extremely dangerous, if the split Divine Soul Avatar is destroyed, it would affect his true self.

Moreover, if the split Divine Soul Avatar is captured by someone with intent.

The consequences would be endless.

Therefore, in the situation where the path ahead was different and the road behind was blocked, Qi Xiu could only choose the third path.

With the mastery of the divine marvel, forcibly pushing through the realm!

Reciting and comprehending the essential techniques of [External Incarnation] over and over, Qi Xiu couldn't remember if this was the thirtieth thousandth time or the fiftieth thousandth time.

Since entering the Initiate Realm, this was the first time he relied solely on the mastery of divine marvel to forcefully cultivate a Dharma Gate.

Under the effect of the mastery divine marvel [hard work pays off].

Relying on a water-dripping-away-stone effort that could drive one mad, Qi Xiu finally forcibly elevated the level of External Incarnation.

Buzz——

At the moment when the realm level increased.

A mountain- and sea-calling insight surged in Qi Xiu's mind in an instant, with strands of golden light emanating from his tightly closed eyes.

At the same time, an infinitely majestic, creation-of-all-things divine power floated upon his divine soul.

Crystalline, snow-white, diamond-like divine soul thoughts gradually emerged.

"Indeed!"

Feeling these divine soul thoughts coagulating from the divine soul power, Qi Xiu's mouth curved slightly.

The strength of mastery divine marvel, even at his current realm, remained unsolvable.

Bypassing the constraints of the realm, enabling himself to grasp divine soul thoughts in advance.

Although compared to true primordial spirit thoughts, his Dao body thoughts were countless times weaker.

However, this divine soul thought method was not just a means.

It was also a gateway.

With this means, it meant he could attempt to cultivate some primordial spirit methods in advance.

Dao Body Realm, performing primordial spirit techniques.

If this method succeeds, the position of the foremost True Monarch of the Dao Body will be unshakeable.

Calming the excitement in his heart, Qi Xiu slowly opened his eyes, casually sliced open his palm, and with a grand wave of his hand, let the blood, swirling with rainbow hues, land on the ground.

In an instant, silhouettes indistinguishable from him in every breath and aspect emerged.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Ten external incarnations appeared, exchanged glances, then smiled lightly and respectfully saluted their original self.

"The External Incarnation method is finally accomplished."

Nodding slightly while gazing at the ten avatars formed in front of him, Qi Xiu displayed a trace of a smile.

According to the Dharma Gate taught by the Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable.

The key to applying the External Incarnation method was to pluck a tuft of hair and bring it to form with a breath.

But he wasn't like the Profoundly Ingenious True Venerable, a monkey covered in fur, and pulling out hair looked rather unsightly.

Thus, he made a minor modification, replacing it with blood transformation for incarnation.

"With my current realm, I can only summon these ten incarnations, each carrying only one percent of my power.

But even so, the strength of this method exceeds my expectations.

No wonder the sect master repeatedly urged me to cultivate this method well."

Successfully mastering External Incarnation, Qi Xiu could feel the immense strength of this Dharma Gate intuitively.

First, to him, these external incarnations were completely independent entities.

No tracing back to the source method could affect him through these external incarnations.

Secondly, these external incarnations could transmit their experiences and knowledge to him, their original self, through a mysterious connection.

And this meant, if these external incarnations cultivated a certain Dharma Gate.

His own proficiency would also increase!

"Although currently, I can only summon ten external incarnations, as this method's realm advances.

When I can form a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand... or even a million incarnations!

The ten thousand laws of the world!

Wouldn't they all belong to me!"

His eyes revealed a hint of fervor, and even imagining it at this moment made Qi Xiu's heart burn with excitement.

Just as he was about to further explore the power of these external incarnations.

The message from the Daoist of the Taiyin arrived.

Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickered, and in an instant, he noticed the approaching White Bone Demon.

Reaching out to grasp it, he took off the White Bone Demon's skull.

Purple-red glow burst forth, tinting Qi Xiu's face with a layer of purple:

"Is this... a Dao Embryo?"

...
