Chapter 296: Chapter 153 The True Teaching in One Sentence_2

He passed over the "Red Blood Embodiment Great Method," and Chen Shi flipped through it, a bit puzzled.

Yu Tiancheng saw this and smiled, "Although this Red Blood Embodiment Great Method is a technique of the Demon Path and not a top-tier technique, even among the scions of great families, few are able to cultivate such a technique."

Chen Shi shook his head, "A second Golden Core and a second Nascent Soul as body outside the body, in my view, are unorthodox and deviant practices, not worth pursuing."

Yu Tiancheng questioned, "Do you disdain it because it’s a method from the Demon Path?"

Chen Shi remembered what his grandfather had told him and shook his head again, "No. All body outside the body methods are dead ends. The true body outside the body refers to a cultivator’s Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Primordial Spirit. Once a cultivator opens the Heavenly Gate, the Golden Core emerges, and the mind follows the Golden Core, seeing what it sees, hearing what it hears, as if having a second self. This is the outer body. As for cultivating a second Golden Core and a second Nascent Soul, to later form a second Primordial Spirit, these are paths walked only when one sees no hope."

When the grandson and grandfather were idling away their time in boredom, the grandfather would speak of various crucial aspects of cultivation and was very clear about the various taboos and risks involved in the practice.

Therefore, when Chen Shi saw the Red Blood Embodiment Great Method, he felt that many people in the Red Mountain Hall must have trained wrongly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tiancheng pondered for a long while before he said, "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but do you know how difficult cultivation is? Do you know how many cultivators die each year merely attempting to open the Heavenly Gate at the Golden Core Realm?"

Chen Shi became even more confused, "Is opening the Heavenly Gate that difficult?"

Yu Tiancheng sighed and said, "Difficult? It’s more than just difficult! Not to mention anything else, just in our Red Mountain Hall, three or four cultivators die each year while trying to open the Heavenly Gate at the Golden Core Realm! As for the entire Gongzhou City, the number of cultivators that die each year while attempting it is certainly between thirty to fifty!"

Chen Shi couldn’t help but say, "Opening the Heavenly Gate is easy! How come so many people die?"

Yu Tiancheng sneered and said, "Come with me."

He led Chen Shi to a side room, where they saw a Talisman Master attending to a middle-aged cultivator who was paralyzed in bed.

The cultivator had a scruffy beard and stared lifelessly at the ceiling, indifferent to the arrival of Yu Tiancheng, the Hall Master.

Yu Tiancheng explained, "He is Gu Yunshu, Master Gu of our Red Mountain Hall, a genius member who co-founded the Red Mountain Hall with me. Master Gu cultivated a Golden Core and tried to open the Heavenly Gate for Soul Emergence. As a result, his Qi-Blood overloaded his brain, rendering him an imbecile, paralyzed in bed. He has been lying here for almost twenty years!"

His eyes rimmed with redness, "Of the elders who founded the Red Mountain Hall with me, there were eight in total! Now, only Master Gu and I remain! Do you know where the other six are?"

He walked outside to another room, which housed several ancestral tablets.

Chen Shi saw that most of the tablets belonged to instructors and Incense Masters, totaling dozens of people.

"They are here!"

Yu Tiancheng pointed to these tablets and said, "Apart from those six, there are another forty-seven instructors and Incense Masters, all of whom died while attempting to open the Heavenly Gate!"

He spoke loudly, "Scholar, cultivating a Golden Core, opening the Heavenly Gate, Soul Emergence, every step is extremely difficult, and every step must be undertaken with utmost caution to survive and aspire to higher realms! Cultivating a second Golden Core and a second Nascent Soul, using a Blood Pearl in place of one’s own Golden Core, repeatedly practicing to open the Heavenly Gate for Soul Emergence first, can avoid such dangers! If you disdain the Blood Pearl, disdain the Red Blood Embodiment Great Method, your spirit tablet will be here in the future!"

With a heavy heart, he continued, "Although this Blood Pearl is made from the incarnation of an Evil Spirit like the Heavenly Elder and contains demonic nature, the Red Blood Embodiment Great Method, although it’s a method of the Demon Path, can save lives! The best we can offer in the Red Mountain Hall is a method like this! This is the best I can offer!"

Chen Shi understood his meaning.

After a cultivator reaches the Golden Core Realm, they can utilize a Spiritual Embryo to nurture the Golden Core. The Spiritual Embryo can help the Golden Core in Soul Emergence.

However, there was a significant drawback; one cannot truly practice the cycles of transformation, where the Golden Core can only temper the body externally. To truly refine the body, the Golden Core needs to enter the body, traveling within it, to achieve the transformations.

And there was a significant challenge with internal tempering—when the Golden Core circulated to the head, the Qi-Blood would rush to the skull, violently unmanageable!

At this point, opening the Heavenly Gate was necessary. Once the Heavenly Gate was open, there would be a path for the Qi-Blood to flow, preventing one’s head from exploding or becoming an imbecile.

Previously, when Chen Shi had cultivated to the Third Transformation of the Golden Core, Yu Tiancheng noticed it, hence he offered the Blood Pearl shaped from the Heavenly Elder’s incarnation for him to form a second Golden Core and body outside the body, using this second Golden Core to refine the body first, to breakthrough the brain’s gateway and open the Heavenly Gate.

Since the second Golden Core didn’t carry massive Qi-Blood, there would be no danger of Qi-Blood rushing to the brain. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

After the Heavenly Gate was open, the Golden Core entering the brain and Soul Emergence would naturally follow.

"In just one year, you can cultivate a second Golden Core, and after another year, you should be able to open the Heavenly Gate."

Yu Tiancheng said, "Once the Heavenly Gate is open, your Golden Core entering the brain for Soul Emergence will be safe."

Chen Shi shook his head, "Hall Master, opening the Heavenly Gate and achieving Soul Emergence is not that troublesome. If fast, it takes half an hour, if slow, seven days, and it can be achieved without danger."

Yu Tiancheng laughed infuriatingly, "How is it opened?"

"It’s quite simple."

Chen Shi walked into the side room where Gu Yunshu was located, sat in front of the bed, propped up the paralyzed Master Gu, searched for a moment from his Baihui point at the top of his skull to his forehead, found where the Heavenly Gate was, then hovered his palm about an inch above his scalp, and spoke softly, "Master Gu, can you hear me? I will open the Heavenly Gate for you with my own Qi-Blood; concentrate on the spot I’m pointing to."
