Cultivation: I Can Traverse Otherworlds

Chapter 212: Chapter 200: Furnace Tripod’s Backlash

Zhu Ju sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, silently perceiving the Jade Scroll in his hand as a Cultivation Method imprinted itself upon his Sea of Consciousness.

Formless Forget Love!

One of the Core True Inheritances of the Joyful Sect.

In terms of grade, it was in no way inferior to the Celestial Spirit Technique of the Bright Void Sect’s Dragon Head Lineage.

This was what Princess Consort Yuann had left him before she departed.

This Method used emotion to enter the Dao, progressing all the way to the Realm of Forget Love. The more one’s mind reached Perfection, the faster their Cultivation speed, and the greater their future accomplishments would be.

If one could attain its highest Realm, even a Mortal could possess a Cultivation speed surpassing that of an Innate Dao Body.

This was a Method that didn’t rely on Talent, but entirely on one’s state of mind.

The Cultivation Technique was profound and unimaginable. For a Cultivator with poor innate constitution, it could be described as a heaven-defying way to change their fate.

But the concept of ’state of mind’ was difficult to grasp. Some who were well-read and eloquent made no progress at all cultivating this technique.

Others were born dull-witted, yet could make remarkable progress.

There was no rhyme or reason to it.

Therefore, the Joyful Sect had another method to help cultivate a Perfection Mind, allowing this Cultivation Technique to truly shine.

The Yin Yang Seed,

was the indispensable auxiliary Secret Technique for Formless Forget Love.

’As expected of a Demon Sect. Formless Forget Love is a True Dharma in itself, but with the Yin Yang Seed, it becomes the Demon Dao.’

’You plant a Yin Yang Seed in the body of a loved one, nurture it day after day, and once it matures, you kill them and take it.’

’The Joyful Sect uses this method to help its Cultivators achieve a Perfection Mind, but can ruthlessness truly substitute for Forget Love?’

Zhu Ju gently shook his head, noncommittal on the matter.

’Passionate Spell, Yin Yang Seed... The person who created this Secret Technique was a true genius, thinking the unthinkable, even managing to harness the Heart Demons others desperately avoid for their own use.’

The Yin Yang Seed,

is a Heart Demon!

’Once the Yin Yang Seed matures, not only can the Cultivator who harvests it obtain the host’s entire Divine Soul Power, but they can also use it as a foundation to trigger a change in their state of mind, causing it to undergo a metamorphosis. It kills several birds with one stone.’

’According to the Cultivation Technique, a Cultivator with such a state of mind can advance by leaps and bounds even in the Dao Foundation Realm, progressing at a tremendous pace.’

Putting down the Jade Scroll, Zhu Ju seemed lost in thought.

’Formless Forget Love and the Yin Yang Seed are both incredible Cultivation Techniques, especially in their unimaginably brilliant manipulation of the human heart.’

’But...’

"They’re not as good as the Blood-Stealing Curse or the Seven Emotions Cross Method!"

It was true.

The Joyful Sect’s Methods were indeed formidable.

Take the Yin Yang Seed, for example—it could actually seize another person’s Primordial Spirit.

But the Blood-Stealing Curse could do more than just seize a Primordial Spirit; it could even steal one’s Cultivation and Talent as well.

Furthermore,

the Yin Yang Seed required a series of steps, and the slightest misstep could lead to complete failure, or even a backlash from the technique itself.

The Blood-Stealing Curse had no such drawbacks.

With just a few steps that even a common person could perform, the Blood-Stealing Curse could steal everything from another individual.

Unfortunately,

this Method had been lost to time.

And then there was the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Cross Method.

This Heart Method, when paired with the Demon Saber, allowed for perfect control over all seven emotions and six desires, not just the passion between a man and a woman.

Its Realm seemed even more profound than Forget Love.

’Looking back now, the first world I transmigrated to was anything but ordinary. It didn’t even have Acquired Martial Artists who had cultivated Inner Qi, yet it possessed unimaginable Methods like the Blood-Stealing Curse and the Demon Saber.’

’Even that giant palm, which held the Power of the Five Elements, was extraordinary. To this day, I still haven’t fully comprehended its mysteries.’

A multitude of stray thoughts rose and fell, finally coalescing into a soft sigh.

Zhu Ju suppressed these thoughts, a flicker in his eyes.

’But what Princess Consort Yuann said wasn’t wrong. Although I have the Passionate Spell and the Yin Yang Seed that Yuann Tong planted in me, I can use them to counter her.’

’And even...’

’...seize her Primordial Spirit and achieve my own Perfection, just like that Furnace Tripod from two hundred years ago who attained the Dao Foundation.’

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from across the room.

Qii Yao sat opposite him, her expression dark. The look she gave him was filled with deep disgust.

"You despicable villain!"

"Me, despicable?" Zhu Ju said with a faint smile. "If the Joyful Sect’s top inheritance was laid out before you, I don’t believe you wouldn’t be tempted."

"Shameless!" Qii Yao cursed through clenched teeth.

"And here I thought you were a good person! And Yuann Tong treated you with such sincerity, yet you’re actually thinking of betraying her!"

"Even planning to kill her for your own advancement."

"A good person?" Zhu Ju said unhurriedly.

"It seems that after spending so much time by Yuann Tong’s side, you’ve become naive as well. When has the Joyful Sect ever had a good person?"

"Besides..."

"Do you really think Yuann Tong can adapt to the Joyful Sect?"

Qii Yao’s expression shifted slightly.

Indeed.

The Joyful Sect was a Demon Sect, after all. If not for Princess Consort Yuann’s protection, Zhou Yuantong would have never survived to this day.

"Princess Consort Yuann was right. Compared to Yuann Tong, I am a better fit for the Joyful Sect," Zhu Ju began slowly.

"Even."

"A better fit for the Formless Forget Love Cultivation Technique."

"She needs someone to do her bidding, but it doesn’t have to be Yuann Tong. I am clearly the more suitable candidate."

"Unfortunately!"

He sighed.

"She’s a Demonic Cultivator, after all. She didn’t even give me the complete Cultivation Technique, only the part for the Innate Realm. A bit too stingy."

In reality.

Zhu Ju suspected that Princess Consort Yuann hadn’t even given him the complete Method for the Innate Realm, and had held back some parts.

"Hmph!" Qii Yao gritted her teeth. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Yuann Tong that you also received Master’s inheritance and are plotting to seize her Primordial Spirit?"

"You’re a smart person. You should know how to weigh your options," Zhu Ju said, raising an eyebrow with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile. "Compared to the naive and innocent Yuann Tong, my chances of success are much greater."

"Besides, if Princess Consort Yuann finds out you snitched, what do you think your chances of survival are?"

Qii Yao’s face paled slightly.

"One day, when I obtain Yuann Tong’s Primordial Spirit and become a Core True Inheritance, I will certainly be able to reach the Dao Foundation Realm," Zhu Ju said leisurely.

"You should be trying to get on my good side right now."

"After all, once I reach the Dao Foundation, there won’t be many people in the Joyful Sect I can use. You would be one of them. Considering what’s happened today, I might even look after you a little."

"Hmph!" Qii Yao snorted coldly, her expression shifting rapidly. Finally, she lowered her voice and said through clenched teeth:
