Chapter 386: Chapter 247: Cultivation World 37_3
Si Lingle exerted Space Divine Power to escape from this place.
After exiting the Secret Realm, Si Lingle confirmed she was on Flying Dragon Mountain, a mountain within the jurisdiction of the Qingxuan Sect.
Si Lingle directly took out the Teleporter and transported back to the outside of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s workshop.
Then, she returned to the sect.
Back at the sect, her master had already returned from training.
However, he was in seclusion.
As for the six disciples, Ruochen and Yu Jin were in seclusion, and the remaining four disciples had gone for training.
After sending them a message, Si Lingle went into seclusion.
Si Lingle prepared to refine the "One Breath Heavenly Secret" within the Glazed Heart.
Si Lingle activated the Nine Netherworld Strange Fire, which enveloped the Glazed Heart.
The flames penetrated the heart’s veins like chains, peeling away the Heavenly Dao imprint from the source of the secret.
After refining for a hundred years, the source of the secret manifested as a Three-headed Demon Dragon, each head controlling the causal lines of "past", "present", and "future", launching an assault on Si Lingle’s Divine Sense.
Si Lingle’s Primordial Spirit exploded in a silver blaze, and her Sword Intent transformed into threads, severing the dragon’s neck, while the spraying stardust was absorbed by her through the Reincarnation Realm.
At the critical moment of refining, black blood seeped from Si Lingle’s seven orifices, and her skin cracked like porcelain patterns—this was a sign of the secret’s source eroding her body. She forcibly reversed her meridians, channeling the Fire Poison into the Yongquan Point at her feet, instantly melting a charred pit in the ground.
The Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Realm manifested, with bronze chains extending from the mirror, piercing through Si Lingle’s chest and the Glazed Heart, forming a symbiotic restriction of "using one’s body to lock the secret". With each tightening loop, a new crack appeared in her sea of consciousness, but the violent aura of the secret’s source also diminished by a fraction.
...
When the last Heavenly Dao imprint dissolved, the Glazed Heart exploded, and the fragments merged into Si Lingle’s heart veins.
Before the fragments merged into her heart veins, Si Lingle heard the maniacal laughter of Venerable Red Cloud’s remnant soul: "Fate defier, let’s see who goes mad first between you and the Heavenly Dao!"
A starlight aura exploded around Si Lingle, and an incomplete projection of the "Heavenly Secret Atlas" appeared above her head, the script on the atlas transforming into flowing light, flooding into her brow. Si Lingle’s Divine Soul completed its metamorphosis in agony, her pupils turned a glazed color, glimpsing segments of the future three breaths ahead.
The first breath: The tribulation of the karmic battle.
She saw a woman standing under the lightning of a heavenly tribulation, holding a broken Reincarnation Mirror, with thousands of cultivator corpses scattered on the ground.
The second breath: The omen of demonic fall.
The scene shifted to her kneeling on a cold abyssal altar, with netherworld purple veins crawling over her chest, and the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Realm turning into black mist, corroding her Primordial Spirit.
A low warning came from afar: "One who alters the Heavenly Secret will ultimately become an outcast of the Heavenly Dao." This was the materialization of the Heavenly Dao’s backlash, suggesting if she couldn’t suppress the residual obsession of Venerable Red Cloud contained in the Glazed Heart, she would fall into the Demon Path and be hunted as a "calamity demoness" by the Cultivation World.
The third breath: The pain of the closest kin’s demise.
The final breath revealed her six disciples wielding their Lifebound Weapons, resisting a crowd of cultivators, their bodies exploding into a mist of blood, their final cries: "Master, run!"
After successfully refining, Si Lingle’s Spiritual Power condensed into liquid starlight, and the barrier of Perfection at the Out-of-Body Stage shattered on its own, breaking through to the Mid-stage Divinity Transformation.
Now, Si Lingle could leverage the Heavenly Secret to deduce weaknesses in an opponent’s magic, with her Sword Qi harboring the power of karmic strangulation.
Her brow bore the "Heaven-Caging Seal" left by Venerable Red Cloud, an imprint that would incite more intense Heavenly Dao backlash as her cultivation improved. The surface of the Reincarnation Realm also bore a new crack, signifying the possibility of the Artifact Spirit losing control.
Subsequently, Si Lingle flew out of the cave to confront the Heavenly Tribulation!
Perhaps due to refining "One Breath Heavenly Secret", the strength of this heavenly tribulation was several times more powerful than before.
Relying on her Sword Intent and Magic Treasures, Si Lingle successfully overcame the Heavenly Tribulation, and after this, she went into seclusion to stabilize her cultivation.
After five years of seclusion, her cultivation stabilized at the Peak of Mid-stage Divinity Transformation.
After the breakthrough, using items obtained from the Ancient World, Si Lingle began to refine various magical artifacts and weapons.
Concerning the three glimpses of the future, the first segment still held unknown consequences, whether fortunate or unfortunate.
The second segment suggested she might fall into demonhood, but she wasn’t concerned about falling into the Demon Path.
However, the third segment, where her six disciples died to protect her, was something Si Lingle couldn’t accept.
The disciples were all good children, they should not die for her sake.
Si Lingle began researching new types of weapons.
These weapons incorporated some principles from the interstellar era, and after two years of refining, Si Lingle succeeded.
Upon successful refinement, Si Lingle went to the Jingyuan Mountain Range to find a demon beast at the Void Refining Stage.
Si Lingle pulled out a top-grade Magical Treasure resembling an Energy Cannon and fired at the Void Refining Stage demon beast.
This projectile, capable of guided attacks, would enter guided mode once the missile locked onto the target and maintained tracking.
In this mode, the projectile autonomously adjusted its trajectory, speed, and posture according to the target’s position and movement, ensuring it hit the target accurately.
"Boom!" The projectile hit the Void Refining Stage demon beast, and in one strike, the beast was killed.
The power of this Spiritual Energy Cannon was truly strong!
Having confirmed the power of the Spiritual Energy Cannon, Si Lingle returned to the sect to refine more.
She refined some lower-powered Spiritual Energy Cannons, suitable for her disciples to use.
Several years passed and all six disciples returned to the sect.
Si Lingle suppressed her cultivation and sparred with her six disciples, who had made significant progress.
Their Four Arts Rank had also improved a lot.
After inspecting their cultivation, Si Lingle gave them the Spiritual Energy Cannons.
She solemnly stated, "In the future, regardless of what happens to your master, do not intervene. Striving for ascension is the best reward for your master."
Xuanjing: "Master, did you glimpse something?" Why else would she say this without cause.
"Indeed, I glimpsed some matters of the future, so for your sakes, no matter what happens to me in the future, do not intervene," Si Lingle said to the six, "Now, take the Heart Demon Oath."
Yun Ya refused, "Master, I was originally a Wasted Spirit Root, if not for meeting you, how could I have today’s cultivation. If something happens to you in the future, how can I stand by and do nothing?"
The others similarly expressed refusal, for it would be disgraceful as disciples to idly watch their master encounter trouble.
"Your help would also be a death sentence." Si Lingle said coldly, "If you don’t take the Heart Demon Oath, I shall expel you from this sect today."
The six were immediately stifled.
In the end, they all took the Heart Demon Oath; after they did, Si Lingle was satisfied.
