Liu Ming naturally went forward and bowed before respectfully standing to the side.
"Very good, you have come rather early. The reason I called you here, other than to remind you about the Walls of Shadows, is to discuss the matter of advancing to a Spirit Master. We can all see that you must have obtained some other benefits in the secret realm. Your cultivation has increased by quite a bit compared to before you entered the secret realm, to the point where your Fa Li is emitted and you are unable to control it as you wish. "Martial Aunt Zhong said gently.
"Master is wise. I have indeed eaten a batch of Spirit Fruits in the secret realm and my Fa Li has already increased to the Perfection Realm. However, once these Spirit Fruits are plucked, their effects will continuously fade and I am unable to bring them out of the secret realm. "Liu Ming hastily replied.
"There is no need to explain this! Whatever benefits you obtain in the secret realm are all your own opportunities. As your elders, we and the Sect will not question you about this. This is something that all the sects tacitly agree on. After all, when you participate in the Life and Death Trials, the chances of you dying are extremely high. However, with your current situation, it is best to wait a bit longer and let your newly obtained Fa Li completely stabilize before attempting to break through to the Spirit Master realm. "Martial Aunt Zhong waved her hand as she spoke.
"Many thanks for Master's guidance. I know what to do." Liu Ming relaxed slightly and said respectfully.
"Alright, I will discuss the matter of breaking through to the Spirit Master realm with you in a bit. First, I will talk to you about comprehending the Walls of Shadows. Before this, have you ever heard of this treasure? "Martial Aunt Zhong asked unhurriedly.
"Reporting to Master, this is the first time I have heard that the Sect has such an item." Liu Ming blinked his eyes as he replied.
"Yes, this is also very normal. Our Sect knows of the existence of the Walls of Shadows. Aside from us and the other elders, there should not be more than ten people who know about it. Furthermore, everyone has been given a gag order beforehand. After I explain the matter of the Walls of Shadows to you in detail, you are also not allowed to tell anyone else about it. Otherwise, you will be punished by the Sect's rules. "Martial Aunt Zhong said with a serious expression.
"Yes, I understand." Hearing this, Liu Ming's heart trembled.
"Okay, I will first tell you about the origin of the Walls of Shadows. This item was originally an unknown stone in the deep sea. Later, it was fished out by the Sea Race and fell into the hands of the Six Yin Martial Ancestor. It was said that the ancestor had once secluded himself for several years for this object before finally figuring out the function and origin of this object. He especially found the most famous formation master of the Yunchuan Continent at that time to inscribe a set of extremely mysterious restrictions on this stone. Then, he left this wall in the secret room where he usually cultivated and no longer took it out to show it to others. It wasn't until a few hundred years later, when the Six Yin Martial Ancestor's life was about to end, that he gathered all of his disciples in front of him and publicly explained his history and the true use of the Walls of Shadows. "When Martial Aunt Zhong reached this point, her words slightly paused.
"The Martial Ancestor's origin and the use of this Walls of Shadows?" Liu Ming revealed a puzzled expression.
"Correct. According to the Martial Ancestor, he was actually a disciple of a large sect from another continent. Only because of some special reasons did he end up in the Yun Chuan Continent and was unable to return to his original Sect. Thus, he could only establish a new Sect here. This was how our Barbarian Ghost Sect came to be. The Martial Ancestor was restricted by the Sect's oath and was unable to pass on his true teachings to the disciples of the Sect. What he had previously passed on was only a few other small methods that he had obtained. However, the Martial Ancestor's time was truly approaching and he was unwilling to bury his entire life's teachings. Thus, he created this Walls of Shadows. The Martial Ancestor used the Walls of Shadows and the special restriction on it to leave behind a few of his Secret Techniques and Cultivation Methods. In the future, if the disciple is fated, he can comprehend a few things from this Walls of Shadows. Thus, the Martial Ancestor did not break the oath he made back then. You should now understand the value of this Walls of Shadows. "Martial Aunt Zhong said seriously.
"So the Martial Ancestor was a person from another continent! However, Master should have comprehended this Walls of Shadows before. Did you gain anything? "Liu Ming was shocked for a while before blurting out.
"According to the Sect's rules, this Walls of Shadows can only be controlled by the person with the highest cultivation within the Sect. Furthermore, according to the rules that the Martial Ancestor left behind, unless a disciple becomes a Spirit Master or makes a great contribution to the Sect, no one else has the right to comprehend this wall. This is because this Walls of Shadows is a consumable item. Every time you activate it to look at it, it will use up some kind of energy within it. When all of the energy is used up, this treasure will also collapse and disappear. After so many years, the energy within the wall will definitely not be much. As for when it will collapse, that is something that only the heavens know. Perhaps you and Yang Gan will look at it and it will disappear in the next moment. That is also a very big possibility. When I advanced to become a Spirit Master, I did indeed look at this wall for a night. However, other than seeing a few blurry shadows flash past on the surface and feeling refreshed the next morning, I did not gain anything. When your Martial Uncle Zhu looked at it that year, he also had a similar result. However, after your Martial Uncle Gui looked at it, he had some comprehension and solved a big problem he had with his cultivation at that time. As for the other people in the Sect, they all had similar results. The majority of people are like me and can only see a few indescribable shadows on the wall. A small portion of people are able to obtain a few words and solve some problems with their Cultivation Method or cultivation. Since the day the Walls of Shadows was passed down, there were only three or four people who had comprehended a complete set of cultivation methods from it. And the secret techniques and incantations they had obtained were all included in the supreme secret techniques of their respective sects. Only a few people in each generation could learn one of them. Even the so-called three great sect-guarding secret techniques of their respective sects could not be mentioned in the same breath. Therefore, when the time comes, how much benefit you can obtain from the Walls of Shadows will all depend on your own luck. "Martial Aunt Zhong cautiously explained to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming was naturally a bit startled when he heard this. However, after thinking for a bit, he couldn't help but ask:
"Since there are so many seniors that have looked at the Walls of Shadows and there are people who have gained something from it, there should be some pattern to follow."
"This is what I am going to give you next. After so many people have looked at it, there is no pattern to speak of, but there are a few publicly recognized methods that can increase the chances of comprehension for those who look at the Walls of Shadows. You should remember these methods well. First, before looking at the Walls of Shadows, it is best to maintain your body and mind at their best condition. If you are a bit more sincere, you can even bathe and abstain from eating for three days in advance. Second … "Martial Aunt Zhong seriously explained to Liu Ming a few of the rumored methods that were very useful for looking at the Walls of Shadows.
"... Lastly, if you really do obtain some Cultivation Method from the Walls of Shadows, there is no need to let the other people in the Sect know before you have successfully cultivated it." Martial Aunt Zhong paused slightly at the end. What she said caused Liu Ming to be startled.
"Why is that?" He asked in surprise.
"Because in the past, there have been many people who have experienced Qi Deviation when looking at the Walls of Shadows. Instead, they obtained specious Cultivation Methods and were unable to cultivate them. Therefore, no matter what comprehension you have on the Walls of Shadows, no one will immediately question you about it. That is, until you can prove its value and are willing to hand it over to the Sect. Of course, in exchange, you can also learn another Cultivation Method or Secret Technique from the Walls of Shadows from the Sect. "Martial Aunt Zhong explained in such a manner.
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your guidance, Master." After hearing this, Liu Ming came to a sudden realization.
"Okay, the matter of the Walls of Shadows will end here. Now, I should talk to you about breaking through to Spirit Master. How much do you know about liquefying True Yuan and condensing it into Cultivation Qi? "Martial Aunt Zhong nodded her head and changed the topic.
"I have seen a bit about liquefying True Yuan from a few ancient records. It seems that only when the True Yuan in the Spirit Sea completely changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state can one's Fa Li increase by more than ten times, can one become a Spirit Master. As for condensing Aura into Cultivation Qi, it is a method of liquefying True Yuan. Only by dissolving Pure Aura Qi into one's True Yuan can one turn the True Yuan from a gaseous state into a liquid state and automatically produce Cultivation Qi. Cultivation Qi is also the most obvious sign of a Liquid Level Cultivator. "After thinking for a bit, Liu Ming roughly explained everything he knew.
"Yes, although you didn't say much, it was very incisive. It can be seen that you put in a lot of effort beforehand. However, do you know what Pure Aura Qi is and how many types it can be divided into? "After hearing what was said, Martial Aunt Zhong's face revealed a trace of a smile as she spoke.
"This … I really don't know." Liu Ming hesitated for a bit before replying honestly.
"Pure Aura Qi should actually be called Earth Aura Qi. It is originally a special kind of Aura Qi that is born from the ground and has many inconceivable special effects. It can also be divided into hundreds and thousands of different types. Dissolving True Yuan and compressing Fa Li is only the general effect of all Pure Aura Qi. Therefore, if the Pure Aura Qi that is dissolved is different, the Cultivation Qi that is formed will also be different and will have completely different effects. After some Cultivation Qi is formed, its defensive power is much stronger than normal Cultivation Qi. Some Cultivation Qi has the effect of corroding other Cultivation Qi from the day it is formed. There are also some Cultivation Qi that has a huge amplification effect on certain types of spells. According to what I know, there is even a type of Heaven Defying Cultivation Qi that can slowly and automatically purify Fa Li. It has the inconceivable effect of assisting in cultivation. "Martial Aunt Zhong explained seriously.
Liu Ming was naturally dumbstruck after hearing this.
"Although there are many types of Pure Aura Qi, the amount of Pure Aura Qi that can be found in this world is extremely small. Also, once it is used up, it will take at least a thousand years for new Pure Aura Qi to be formed. Moreover, the Pure Aura Qi that has a strong effect after being condensed into Cultivation Qi is naturally even rarer. The places that can give birth to Pure Aura Qi are usually called Aura Pits. When our Sect selects a Mountain Sect, most of them will be directly built on top of some Aura Pits. This is the only way to ensure the long term prosperity of the Sect. "Martial Aunt Zhong explained.
