Wang Daoyuan walked into the hut. The furnishings inside were very simple. There was only a bed and a table.
There was an animal skin book on the table. It was the same as the Ten Thousand Spirit Atlas that he had seized from Zhang Dacheng. Each animal skin was equivalent to a jade slip. He could use his Divine Sense to imprint information on it. It was much more advanced than a jade slip.
He put the animal skin book into the Spiritual Pearl's space and used a trace of his Divine Sense to explore it.
In this way, even if there was a trick in the animal skin book, it would at most destroy a trace of his Divine Sense. It would not directly hurt his soul.
When he used his Divine Sense to explore the animal skin book, he saw the words "Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique" written on the first page.
Wang Daoyuan used his Divine Sense to explore the second page. This page was the origin of the technique and the modification process.
From the records, it could be seen that this Divine Sense cultivation technique was not something from Beiyuan Xiuxian. It came from another Immortal Cultivation World.
Moreover, it was not the original version. It was modified after a later generation. Even the name of the original creator was not left behind.
According to the records, the original creator's soul was damaged. He had no hope of opening the Purple Mansion in this life. He wanted to repair his soul, but it was difficult to find such a miraculous elixir.
He collected many ancient books and techniques related to the soul. In the end, he created a secret technique that could repair the soul — the Devouring Soul Nurturing Technique.
This secret technique erased other people's spiritual wisdom and will, causing their soul to be in an extremely weak state. The caster divided his own soul and injected the divided part into the victim's sea of consciousness.
Because the victim's soul did not have spiritual wisdom and consciousness, it was unable to resist the invasion of the foreign soul. Moreover, the control of the body would be taken away.
At this time, the victim became an existence similar to the caster's doppelganger.
The caster used the victim's body and soul to nourish the divided soul. When the divided soul was strong to a certain extent, it would devour the original soul of the doppelganger.
The caster then took back the divided soul and merged it into himself. In this way, not only could the soul be healed, but it could also greatly improve the cultivation of the Divine Sense.
After many times, the creator finally repaired the damage to his soul and successfully opened the Purple Mansion.
However, after the creator's soul recovered, he was unwilling to give up this secret technique. He used this method to strengthen the cultivation of the Divine Sense. Finally, he cultivated to the Yuanying State.
Later on, the matter was exposed and the founder was attacked by the righteous cultivators. In the end, he died.
However, the Spirit Devouring Soul Cultivation Technique was not lost because of this. Instead, it was obtained by an expert who besieged the founder.
This expert had a good character and did not use it to harm others. Instead, he used it as a foundation and improved it, renaming it the "Soul Nurturing Doppelganger Technique".
Although the improved secret technique also split the soul and used the clone to nurture the soul, the clone did not have to be a human. Any spiritual creature with a soul would do.
The split soul would only rely on the clone to grow stronger. It would not devour the soul of the clone. The soul of the clone could still be reincarnated.
Therefore, this secret technique was no longer in the category of evil cultivation methods. It could be considered a Divine Sense cultivation method that could repair the damage to the soul.
Furthermore, the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique had improved the method of erasing the doppelganger's intelligence and consciousness, making the doppelganger's soul more stable.
Even without a split soul, the doppelganger's intelligence would only be that of an infant, and it would still be able to survive.
The same doppelganger could be used repeatedly. If the original split soul was strong enough, a new split soul could be used to replace the strong split soul.
This secret technique could split the soul and fuse it again. It could be used together with the Puppet Technique, Beast Taming Technique, and Corpse Refining Technique.
That expert's descendant also used this secret technique as a foundation to establish the Imperial Regency.
The Imperial Regency dominated the cultivation world with the Puppet Technique, Beast Taming Technique, and Corpse Refining Technique, suppressing all the other forces.
However, the hunter would shoot the bird that sticks out. The Imperial Regency was besieged by all the major forces. In the end, it was exterminated, and its disciples fled in all directions.
One of the Foundation Establishment disciples fled to the remote Beiyuan Xiuxian.
However, this disciple's status was not high. He was only qualified to cultivate the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique after he reached the Foundation Establishment realm.
Furthermore, before he could achieve anything with his cultivation, he was caught up in the destruction of his sect.
He was not qualified to obtain the secret technique manual. He could only try to restore the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique based on what he had learned and the rumors about the technique.
Unfortunately, his cultivation was too low, and he had learned too little. It was difficult for him to restore his original appearance.
Although the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique that he restored could still increase the cultivation of his divine sense, it no longer had the effect of repairing damaged souls.
Although his cultivation had increased and he had deduced the contents of the Purple Palace Realm, his knowledge was still too lacking compared to the senior who had modified the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique. The difference between the repaired version and the complete version was like heaven and earth.
Although the clone refined from the repaired version could continue to cultivate and increase the cultivation of the divine sense, the split soul could not perfectly fuse with the original soul of the clone.
The clone's cultivation would increase very slowly, and its ability to cultivate techniques and learn the various arts of cultivation would be greatly reduced. It would be easier to encounter bottlenecks, and it would be extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck.
Due to the incomplete soul, the clone could not establish a Purple Palace.
If one wanted to obtain a Purple Palace Realm clone, they would have to deal with a Purple Palace Realm cultivator.
However, the soul of a Purple Palace Realm cultivator had already undergone a qualitative change, becoming a divine soul. Using the original divine sense attack secret technique to deal with a Purple Palace Realm cultivator would not have a high success rate.
Either they were unable to completely annihilate the clone's consciousness, or they used too much strength and directly killed the clone.
If they were unable to completely annihilate the clone's consciousness, then when the split soul fused with the clone, it would be easy to cause the soul of the clone to resist, causing the split soul to be directly annihilated and cause permanent damage to the soul.
Although spirit medicines that repaired the damage of the soul were rare, they weren't difficult to find for some great powers.
On the other hand, spirit medicines that repaired the soul of a Purple Palace Realm cultivator were especially rare, and all of them were rare treasures that could only be chanced upon by luck.
The risk of using a Purple Palace Realm cultivator to refine a clone was truly too great.
Thus, this disciple started to take an unconventional path. He no longer pursued strengthening the cultivation of his divine sense, and instead used his clone as his main method of combat. He mainly cultivated corpse refinement techniques and used his split soul to control the corpse refinement.
The human and the corpse refinement were of one mind, and their cooperation was seamless. Coupled with the assistance of formations, their combat strength rose sharply, and they could be said to be invincible amongst their peers.
Later on, he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, controlled over 100 refined corpses, and created the Myriad Corpse Grand Formation, causing him to become illustrious amongst Golden Core Realm cultivators and obtain the title of Myriad Corpse Daoist.
When Myriad Corpse Daoist's cultivation reached the late Golden Core Realm, there was no one below Yuanying who was a match for him.
Later on, because he offended too many powers, he was besieged and seriously injured by dozens of Golden Core Realm cultivators. After escaping, he hid in a secret realm and finally passed away.
When Qi Yun and the others explored the secret realm, they accidentally found the place where Myriad Corpse Daoist passed away.
The majority of the refined corpses, magic tools, and secret manuals left behind by Myriad Corpse Daoist were obtained by their companions.
He only obtained a small portion of the magic tools, as well as Myriad Corpse Daoist's main cultivation technique and some secret techniques, which led to the subsequent events.
The third page of the beast book recorded the main text of the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique, which included the method of using one's divine sense to destroy the consciousness and consciousness of the clone, the secret technique to fuse the main soul with the split soul, and the method to nurture the split soul and the main soul.
There were a few more pages at the back of the beast book that recorded the secret techniques derived from the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique. For example, Qi Yun's Foundation Establishment secret technique was to first transfer a split soul into the main body of the clone. After the split soul and the clone adapted to each other, the main soul would be transferred into the clone and replace the original soul of the clone.
However, the process of Qi Yun's main soul being transferred into the clone was completed by force. Since his main body was killed, he could only entrust his main soul into the clone before the clone and the split soul could fully adapt.
The rogue cultivator and the four monster beasts from before were all Qi Yun's clones, so they were able to sacrifice their lives to block the blade for their main body.
In addition to the secret techniques derived from the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique, there were also some corpse cultivation techniques and secret techniques collected by Myriad Corpse Daoist, including the Myriad Corpse Grand Array.
Wang Daoyuan wasn't interested in refining corpses.
In his previous life, he had been influenced by the old Daoist priest and was greatly influenced by traditional culture.
Traditional culture emphasized that the dead were the most important. No matter how great a crime was, death was atonement.
Even if one wanted to take revenge and even exterminate the enemy's entire clan, they would only do so against the living. There was still a minimum of respect for corpses.
Therefore, he couldn't accept things like refining corpses.
