The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Chapter 431: Lotus Petal Different Flame Chapter 435: Chapter 431: Lotus Petal Different Flame Shen Luo slightly revealed his joy and was about to conjure two water palms to try opening the wooden box.

A soft click sounded from within the grey wooden box, and surprisingly, the lid opened on its own.

He fixed his gaze and saw a scroll of a silk book laid inside the wooden box. The silk was tender and supple, covered in small dense characters, apart from this, there was nothing else.

“A Silk Book? Could it record some special skills or secret techniques?” Shen Luo guessed in his heart, picking up the silk book and unfolding it.

At the beginning of the book, four big characters were written: Body Refining Secret Text.

“Really a secret text!” he murmured silently, then glanced downwards.

Such a secretly stored text must contain extraordinary things.

After reading just a few lines, Shen Luo's complexion changed dramatically, showing surprise and joy. However, this joy didn't last long. His expression became strange, and finally turned into extreme disappointment and frustration, even a little resentment.

Only after quite some time did he recover, however, looking at the silk book in his hand, he was still astounded.

The things recorded in the Body Refining Secret Text were truly shocking. Inside it detailed the secret techniques passed down exclusively within the Refining Body Altar, among which included the reconstructing Dantian, re-creating meridians, repairing divine soul injuries and other secret methods that Xie Yuxin was looking for.

These secret methods were incredibly refined. Shen Luo held the Nameless Cultivation Technique, Huangting Technique, and Pure Yang Sword Canon, among many other unparalleled cultivation texts. He had cultivated to the Great Mahayana Stage in Dreamland and his understanding of the Immortal Path was extremely deep. Yet still, after reading this content, he felt it was a real eye-opener.

This Body Refining Secret Text was extremely profound in its explanation of the physical body, meridians, and divine soul. There were many innovative ideas, especially in tempering the body and repairing the divine soul, which were incredibly exquisite.

What Shen Luo didn't know was that this Body Refining Secret Text was the most profound secret text used to guard the Refining Body Altar. Hu Yong was tasked with an extremely dangerous mission to release the ghost of Jing River Dragon King, intruding into the spheres of influence of the Great Tang Dynasty Government and the Underworld.

The main altar of the Refining Body Altar have this duplicate of the Body Refining Secret Text to encourage Hu Yong, but they also laid an extremely tough prohibition on it, only to be lifted once the task'saccomplice.

With the prohibition there, there was no fear that it might fall into wrong hands or the secrets of the Refining Body Altar can be spied upon.

As it happened, Hu Yong's mission failed. The wooden box fell into Shen Luo's hands, who just happened to have the rare treasure from both Heaven and Earth, the Netherworld Bamboo, which could crack the prohibition on the box.

All in all, it could only be described as a stroke of fortune.

While these skills and secret techniques were indeed ingenious, Shen Luo didn't pay much attention to them. However, a secret technique which could open the meridian in the Body Refining Secret Text, was what truly shocked him.

Shen Luo had previously heard from Xie Yuxin that the Refining Body Altar had a way to open up meridians.

He had always thought that the Refining Body Altar used it as a tactic to recruit believers, just a wild boast. After all, a cultivator's meridians are fundamental, symbolising the level of a cultivator's natural talent, something that is born with and cannot be manipulated.

But the Body Refining Secret Text stated explicitly that one's ordinary meridians could be transformed into meridians using a secret technique.

This secret technique was called the Technique of Opening Dark Yin Meridians. As the name suggests, it stimulated the body's meridians and the acupoints on them using Yin Sha Qi. After a series of complex changes, refinements, the meridians would transform and develop into law meridians.

The meridians that were formed this way were somewhat inferior to naturally born meridians; they were not as broad, and their flexibility was also a bit inferior, even the speed at which they absorb Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi during cultivation was slower.

Despite these issues, the meridians that were opened in this way retained the ability to store Mana. They could also be expanded with the nurturing of Mana, hence still held vast value.

This Technique of Opening Dark Yin Meridians may be profound, but the Body Refining Secret Text also cautions that performing this method is incredibly dangerous, like walking on a tightrope at high altitude. A single misstep or oversight could lead to the destruction of the meridians created, or even total necrosis.

“Just reading about this technique is daunting. Even those with exceptional aptitude and comprehension cannot guarantee a flawless execution. A slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the meridians, ruining all future cultivation prospects. The risk is simply too great!” Shen Luo shook his head, ready to put the silk book back into the wooden box.

But the next moment, he paused, his eyes slowly lighting up.

This Technique of Opening Dark Yin Meridians may be incredibly difficult for others, but he might still have a chance.

He could practice this method in the dreamland. Even if he destroys his meridians or dies in the dreamland, he could still be revived.

If he could accumulate enough experience this way, he would have a much higher chance of success when he eventually opened his meridians in reality.

Shen Luo pondered, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The only concern was that after his last plunge into the dreamworld, he had realized that dying in the dream realm could shorten his real-world lifespan, which he needed to consider further.

With these thoughts in his mind, he collected the Body Refining Secret Text, planning to try it next time he entered the dreamland.

Shen Luo then took out everything else from the silver ring and stored them in the Linlang Ring. He also hid the silver ring well.

Storage magical tools are very precious. Many soul condensing cultivators do not own one, so they are quite valuable.

After handling Hu Yong's belongings, he paused for a moment, then took out one more thing, the white stone box.

This stone box had absorbed quite a bit of that mysterious crimson flame in the sealed land. He had been busy before and hadn't had the chance to check what was inside. Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to investigate.

Shen Luo recalled the eerie demise of Hu Yong, consumed by the crimson flame, and stepped back. He formed two water palms with a spell, and gently opened the stone box.

Inside, a chicken-egg-sized ball of red flame floated. Deeper within the flame, there was a rotating crimson lotus petal as if trying to shoot out from inside it.

However, a force from inside the stone box seemed to have the lotus petal flame completely confined.

“This stone box seems to be no ordinary object. Initially, I thought it was just a storage stone box. It turns out it has the ability to capture and seal,” Shen Luo muttered to himself. He quickly shifted his attention away from the box, examining the crimson lotus petal flame closely.

With a thought, he manipulated the water palm to inch closer to the lotus petal flame and gently brushed against it.

But this lotus petal flame was completely different from the black fire just now. Regardless of the lotus petal flame or the blue water palm, neither of them showed any changes upon contact.

Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, he then tested the lotus petal flame with wood, metal, stone, and other fires, but there was still no change in the flame.

After a brief moment of thought, he closed the stone box again and kept it before walking outside.

A moment later, he returned, carrying two lively gray hares in each hand.

Shen Luo placed the hares on the table, constraining them with a water rope, then he reopened the stone box, revealing the lotus petal flame within.

He cast a spell to maneuver the water rope on one of the hares, causing the hare to approach the lotus petal flame. A leg of the hare slightly brushed against the crimson flame.
