In Su Yi's past life, he never opened the nine seals of the Nine Hells Sword.
The only gain he had was before his reincarnation, obtaining a sense of enlightenment from the Nine Hells Sword, which led to the creation of the "Self-Transformation Scripture," a profound soul cultivation method.
He was certain that the mysteries of the "Self-Transformation Scripture" were by no means inferior to the supreme inheritance of the Great Desolate Buddhist Dao, the "Amitabha Reflecting the Heavenly Scriptures," or the unparalleled Daoist treasure, the "Cave Heaven Profound Light Divine Hall Scripture!"
In fact, it may have even surpassed them!
This was the confidence that came from the Sword Master Xuan Jun.
It was a judgment he made based on his hundred thousand and eight hundred years of experience and his unrivaled cultivation in the entire Great Desolate world.
However, what made Su Yi hesitate was that the "Self-Transformation Scripture" was not complete. He could only cultivate it up to the "Emperor Realm" level of the Profound Dao.
The Profound Dao was divided into three realms: Profound Illumination, Profound Obscurity, and Profound Union.
In Su Yi's previous life, he could only deduce and write the "Self-Transformation Scripture" up to the Profound Illumination realm.
It was not that his wisdom was lacking, but rather, the enlightenment he obtained from the Nine Hells Sword seal could only take him this far.
"In this life, I had planned to uncover the secrets of the Nine Hells Sword. Since I could gain enlightenment from it in the past, why not in this life as well?"
After a long time, the hesitation in Su Yi's eyes was gradually replaced by determination.
"Let's cultivate the 'Self-Transformation Scripture'!"
To transform freely, to adapt to everything.
The essence of this scripture was the ability to refine the soul with all the forces in heaven and earth.
As the soul grew stronger, it could evolve into everything in heaven and earth, encompassing all phenomena and the essence of the world.
The term "Self" referred to heaven, earth, and the Dao.
The person cultivating this scripture, like the "Self," could draw on the power of heaven, earth, and the Dao to refine themselves and manifest the wonders and essence of heaven, earth, and the Dao, which was beyond description.
When reaching the Emperor Realm, traces of all the myriad paths in the heavens could be infused into the soul, allowing the display of unimaginable soul techniques.
This was what was meant by transforming everything and transforming the heavens and earth.
"Self-transformation allows me to draw on all the forces in the world to refine my soul!"
"In this desolate and barren land of the Azure Continent, cultivating the 'Self-Transformation Scripture' is undoubtedly the most suitable choice."
Once the decision was made, Su Yi would no longer hesitate. He wholeheartedly began contemplating how to cultivate this secret soul technique.
Although the spiritual energy in the Azure Continent was scarce and barren, there were many other forces that could be utilized.
For example, demonic energy, Yin energy, and so on.
Cultivating the "Self-Transformation Scripture" could make full use of these forces.
It was not an exaggeration to say that even the power of the sun, moon, stars in the sky, and the qi of all living beings on earth could be utilized by this secret technique!
This was the essence of the term "freedom."
Not bound by the confines of heaven and earth, not restricted by the myriad paths of the world, everything in the world could be used by me!
"If I use the power of the
In his past life, Su Yi never unlocked the nine seals of the Nine Abyssal Sword.
The only gain he had was obtaining a sense of enlightenment from the Nine Abyssal Sword before his reincarnation, which led to the creation of the "Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma" cultivation method.
He was certain that the profundity of the "Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma" was far beyond the supreme inheritance of the Great Wilderness Buddhist Path, the "Amida Reflecting the Multiverse Sutra," and the unparalleled Taoist scripture, the "Cave Heaven Profound Light Divine Hall Sutra!"
It even surpassed them!
This was the confidence coming from the Sword Master Xuan Jun.
It was a judgment made based on his 108,000 years of experience and his unparalleled cultivation in the Great Wilderness.
However, what made Su Yi hesitate was that the "Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma" was not complete. He could only cultivate it up to the "Imperial Realm" level of the Profound Path.
The Profound Path was divided into three realms: Profound Illumination, Profound Silence, and Profound Unity.
In his past life, Su Yi's methods had only reached the level of Profound Illumination in the cultivation of the "Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma."
It was not because of his lack of wisdom but because the enlightenment he obtained from the seals of the Nine Abyssal Sword could only take him this far.
"In this life, I have already planned to uncover the secrets of the Nine Abyssal Sword. Since I could gain enlightenment from it before, why not in this life?"
After a long time, the hesitation in Su Yi's eyes was gradually replaced by a resolute expression.
"I will cultivate the 'Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma'!"
To transmute oneself freely, to change into anything.
The essence of this cultivation method was to refine the soul with all the powers in the world.
As the soul grew stronger, it could evolve into everything in the world, transforming myriad phenomena and all realms.
The "self" referred to here represented heaven, earth, and the great Dao.
And the person who cultivated this method, their soul was like the "self," absorbing and refining the powers of heaven, earth, and the great Dao, and could also reveal the mysteries and essence of heaven, earth, and the great Dao, which was ineffable.
When cultivated to the Imperial Realm, traces of myriad realms and paths could be evolved within the soul, enabling the display of unimaginable soul techniques.
This was what was known as transmuting myriad phenomena and transmuting all realms.
"To transmute oneself freely means being able to refine the soul with all the powers in the world!"
"In a place like the desolate and barren Cyan Continent, cultivating the 'Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma' is undoubtedly the most suitable."
Once the decision was made, Su Yi no longer hesitated. He devoted all his thoughts to pondering how to cultivate this secret soul technique.
Although the spiritual energy on the Cyan Continent was poor and sparse, there were many other forces that could be utilized.
For example, evil energy, Yin energy, and so on.
Cultivating the "Transmutation of the Self in the Dharma" could fully utilize these powers.
It was not an exaggeration to say that even the power of the sun, moon, stars, and the Qi of all living beings in the mortal world could be harnessed by this secret technique!
This was the essence of the phrase "freely transmuting oneself."
Unrestricted by the confines of heaven and earth, unconstrained by the myriad
After a long time, he shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.
With his current level of cultivation, he was far from being able to comprehend the mysteries of the Ninefold Divine Chains.
He held his breath and focused his mind, starting to visualize again.
Gradually, the form of the Nine Abyss Sword sealed by the Ninefold Divine Chains appeared in his mind.
Without hesitation, he began to visualize the aura and charm of the Nine Abyss Sword once again.
The familiar scene unfolded once more—the Ninefold Divine Chains trembled, exuding a terrifying aura, only to be suppressed by the Nine Abyss Sword before it could erupt.
This time, Su Yi did not interrupt his cultivation and continued his visualization.
Time seemed to pass unknowingly...
A strand of obscure and profound aura was captured by Su Yi's divine soul and visualized on the form of the Nine Abyss Sword he had depicted.
Suddenly, Su Yi felt his divine soul tremble as numerous incredible torrents of power surged in his perception, raging and boiling like a frenzy.
These surging powers consisted of a total of ten types.
One originated from the Nine Abyss Sword itself, ancient and unfathomable.
Although he could perceive its existence, he couldn't sense its power and charm at all.
The other nine types came from the sealing powers of the Ninefold Divine Chains.
The power of the first chain was as boisterous and unrestrained as the wind, domineering and unparalleled.
The second chain boiled like fire, seemingly capable of incinerating the heavens and myriad worlds.
The third chain was as cold as ice...
These powers and auras had different levels of terror and might, like gods standing on different paths!
Unfortunately, just like the aura of the Nine Abyss Sword, they could be perceived but not truly sensed, observed, or emulated.
Only the sealing aura of the ninth chain was sensed by Su Yi!
The strand of power and charm he had captured earlier came from the sealing power of this ninth chain.
"The [Self-Transformation Sutra] I'm currently practicing is derived from the insights of this ninth chain," he thought.
"Perhaps it's because of this that my divine soul resonates with the sealing power of this chain during perception..."
A realization surged in Su Yi's heart.
With his rich experience in cultivation, he immediately concluded that the [Self-Transformation Sutra] was like a key that could unlock the seal of the ninth chain!
What excited Su Yi even more was that this discovery undoubtedly proved that he could utilize the power of the ninth seal in the future to refine his divine soul.
As a result, he no longer needed to expend effort to seek other ordinary powers for soul refinement.
"As my divine soul realm advances step by step, it should gradually align and merge with the power of this ninth seal. By then, the secrets hidden within the ninth seal will naturally be revealed!"
With these thoughts, Su Yi's heart cleared up, and he became filled with excitement.
In his past life, he had tirelessly studied for countless years but failed to find a way to uncover the secrets of the Nine Abyss Sword.
Now, he saw a glimmer of hope, a path to gradually explore!
How could he not be overjoyed by this?
Soon, a subtle twitch appeared at the corner of Su Yi's lips.
He had been too caught up in his joy that everything he had visualized had dissipated and disappeared...
However, Su Yi was already content.
The attempt he made last night was undoubtedly a huge gain, a rare encounter.
After all, if he hadn't decided to refine his divine soul with the [Self-Transformation Sutra], how could he have discovered all these mysteries?
...
The next morning.
The sky was clear, and a gentle breeze blew.
Su Yi, dressed in a cyan robe, tied his long black hair into a bun with a wooden hairpin. He carried a bamboo staff in his right hand as he walked out of his room.
Without any nostalgia, he walked out of the courtyard.
Click!
The moment he locked the courtyard gate, it felt like he was declaring the end of a bygone era.
A new journey had begun under his feet.
"Young Master, take care on your journey!"
As Su Yi's figure walked out, Hu Quan, the steward of the Apricot Yellow Medical Hall, and the physician Wu Guangbin stopped their activities and approached him. They bid farewell to Su Yi, their expressions tinged with a hint of reluctance.
Having spent this period of time with Su Yi, they had unconsciously been won over by his charm.
Coupled with Su Yi's kind treatment and never blaming them, it earned him the respect of everyone in the Apricot Yellow Medical Hall.
Therefore, when they learned yesterday afternoon that Su Yi was going on a long journey and it was uncertain when he would return to Guangling City, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
"Please carry on with your tasks."
Su Yi waved his hand with a smile and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, walked out of the Apricot Yellow Medical Hall.
Beside the street, a carriage had been waiting for him.
To his surprise, Nie Beihu, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, was the coachman!
He smiled and saluted, saying, "Mr. Su, Lord Fu and the others are waiting by the Dacang River outside the city gate. This time, let me escort you, Mr. Su. Please get in the carriage."
