After returning from the Scripture Pavilion, Yi Tian locked himself in the Spiritual Herb Garden to avoid being noticed. This trip to the Soul Suppressing Devil Cave had exposed him to the sect. As a result, the number of fellow disciples who came to drink tea and discuss Dao increased by quite a lot.
Naturally, they didn't dare to provoke Xiang Donghui and Qing Lianyun. However, he was only a new cultivator. Naturally, he couldn't intimidate everyone like those two.
For this reason, Yi Tian tried his best to hang a nameplate outside the Lingzhi Garden, stating that he had sustained heavy injuries in the previous operation and needed to continue his closed-door cultivation. Only then did the enthusiasm of the fellow disciples dissipated.
Now that he was holed up in his own cave, Yi Tian read through the two jade slips he retrieved. The general situation was slightly different from what he understood previously. As it turned out, the realm gate between the nine realms really did exist. However, after the demon realm invaded eight thousand years ago, the spiritual realm unilaterally sealed the passage. The passage between the demon realm and the lower three realms was open all year round. As for the spiritual realm, the passage to the Asura Realm, Demon Realm, and Buddhist Realm was open.
That was why he was able to meet Luo Ziyan in the Old Clear Wind City and Buddhist Yizhen in the demonic fog area. If one wanted to pass through the realm gate, they would need to be at least FenShen stage, or Luo Ziyan who was at the late Divine Transformation stage.
As for the Buddhist Realm described in the jade slip, it was an exception. This place had a realm passage to the other eight upper spiritual realms. Furthermore, it seemed like there was no one guarding it. Due to its natural restraining effect, the lower three realms, the demon realm, and the Yin Corpse Realm were all firmly restrained by it. That was why they had already set up a seal at the entrance, turning it into a one-way passage.
Seeing this, Yi Tian was shocked. It seemed like there was a reason why Jie Ding fell into the demonic path back then. If a Buddhist cultivator fell from the Buddhist Realm, they naturally wouldn't be able to return from the original passage. After staying in the demon realm for a long time, their mind would naturally be affected by the demonic aura.
In this way, the process of Jie Ding turning into the Demonic Saint Crown Prince Qiu Yu was a little thought-provoking.
As for the Buddhist Realm, there were thousands of temples, each of them represented different sects. However, they were still divided into the Mahayana and Hinayana sects. The Hinayana sect was located in a remote area. They cultivated the Golden Arhat Body, which belonged to the karmic retribution. The most representative was the Tantric Buddhism Sect, but there were not many cultivators, only less than one-tenth of the Buddhist Sect.
As for the Mahayana Sect, more than 90% of its members were members. They occupied the best cultivation spots in the Buddha Spirit World. The most famous was the Lightning Light Temple. More than half of the cultivators in the Buddha Spirit World came from there. The three Grand Ascension Stage cultivators of the Buddhist Realm were all born here, and the scroll also mentioned that there were four Grand Ascension Stage cultivators in the Dao Lightning Zen Temple nearly 10,000 years ago.
Needless to say, the last one was the Precept Master who had fallen into the demonic path. The jade slip only briefly described him. In the end, he simply wrote that Master Jie Ding had traveled the world on foot in order to experience all the sufferings of the world, and was never heard from again.
Yi Tian scoffed after reading it. Based on Master Jie Ding's strength, he was the most likely person in the Thunder Zen Temple to pass the Mahayana Tribulation and attain the Bodhisattva Golden Body. However, at the end, he wrote that he had not experienced all the sufferings of the world. This made him very suspicious. An ordinary Buddhist cultivator's mental state was naturally stronger than a spirit cultivator's. They would not casually fall into the demonic path just because they entered the secular world to cultivate. There must be some unspeakable secret that happened.
Yi Tian put down the jade slip in his hand. He could not find out the real reason behind Master Jie Ding's fall for the time being. He could only leave it aside until he had the chance to investigate it in the future.
As for the other description of the Ghost Realm, it said that the entire Ghost Realm was controlled by the Ghost Kings. Their cultivation methods were naturally unique to ghost cultivators. They could also become Grand Ascension Stage ghost cultivators when they cultivated to the extreme. However, due to their cultivation methods, they were more restrained by Buddhist Sect cultivators.
The entire Ghost Realm was ruled by the Jade Drop Dynasty, and the Ghost Kings were also passed down by blood. However, there was also a force in the Ghost Realm called the Yellow Springs Guards. This group of Ghost Cultivators was originally a new force formed by a group of nobles that had split off from the Jade Drop Dynasty.
The leader of this group of ghost cultivators was also at the Body Integration Stage, but he did not pose any substantial threat to the Jade Drop Dynasty. Thus, he was ignored by the Ghost Kings.
The most useful part of this scroll was that it recorded many Ghost Race characters. Yi Tian studied them as he read, and after a while, he had learned most of the Ghost Race characters. He then took out the jade slip that recorded his journey to the Soul-Suppressing Devil Cave and carefully analyzed it. After translating the entire text, he learned that this was the cultivation method that Chao Yi had used. It was called the True Soul Refinement.
As long as one's soul was constantly refined by Yuanying, even if one lost their physical body, they could still possess multiple bodies. Furthermore, the success rate of this method was much higher than normal possession methods.
As for the jade slip that he found in the Snake Turtle Beast's cave, it was a copy of the direct bloodline register of the Jade Drop Dynasty. There were many names recorded in the jade slip, and he could not find any corresponding information from the Ghost Race jade slip.
After Yi Tian put away the two jade slips, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. The information in his hands would not be of any use in a short period of time. On the other hand, the True Soul Refinement technique could be used to strengthen his soul. He did not need to possess bodies at all. He could just use the technique to strengthen his soul.
Right now, he still needed to continuously strengthen his soul to use the Asura Celestial Body. During this period of time, he had been focusing on his own cultivation, but he did not have a technique to strengthen his soul. This time, he had really caught a big one.
Just as Yi Tian was hiding in his cave to avoid the limelight, the aftermath of the Soul-Suppressing Devil Cave had already caused a huge uproar in the outside world. Because the reputation of the Devilfiend Nascent Pill was too shocking, the Murong Branch Family in Qingfeng City became a target of scorn.
As the head of the main family, Murong Longcheng immediately announced that he had severed all ties with the branch family. He also took the initiative to confess to the Feiyu Kenshū Sect and accept any investigation.
Adding on the fact that Murong Longcheng was a member of this operation, he naturally received the forgiveness of the sect.
Then, the three sects began to search. According to the news, Murong Zhenghong could be considered as the person who refined and distributed the Devilfiend Nascent Pill. There were at least 100 Devilfiend Nascent Pills that had been sold from his hands. Naturally, the people who had consumed them would not jump out immediately.
But the aftermath of the pill was too obvious, so the sects began to investigate first. All the disciples that were recorded by the sects had to report to the law enforcement hall regularly. If they found that someone's cultivation was unstable or showed signs of a sudden drop, they would be listed as a key target.
Just like that, they really found a group of cultivators who had consumed the Devilfiend Nascent Pill. Following the vine to the melon, they were able to find a huge network behind them.
