Chapter 301 - Ancient Primordial Soul Technique?

Chapter 301: Ancient Primordial Soul Technique?

“Of course, I have no regrets... if it was not for the fact that I was reaching the end of my life, I would not have continued to progress to the Primordial Soul stage, as that would mean that my efforts for the past hundred years would have all gone to waste!”

At this point, a tinge of reluctance could be heard in the voice of the usually calm Liu Pingsheng.

“You can only imagine how I felt then.

“Hundreds of years of effort gone to waste... and those who were previously inferior to me had already surpassed me one by one.

“At the time, I chose to leave the sect.

“After that, I traveled around and happened to meet two people. They were people who left the Hengliu galaxy... one was from the Qi Dynasty, and the other was from the Guangling Academy.

“The three of us accompanied one another for a long time... until we got attacked by others. The two of them died while protecting me. I was only able to survive because of their sacrifice.”

Liu Pingsheng let out a sigh, and a sense of reminiscence could be seen in his eyes.

“As I had known them for years, I knew that although they had left the Hengliu galaxy, they still cared for and missed their descendants in the Hengliu galaxy dearly... That was also why I returned to the Hengliu galaxy after taking revenge for them. I planned to protect their descendants for a thousand years before leaving.

“In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed... I had also planned to leave the Hengliu galaxy soon to search for gifted adepts who mastered the skill of Dharma Power Control. I wanted to impart to them the knowledge that I have learned over the years. Hopefully, someone will be able to fulfill my wish in my place.

“I would never have thought that I would hear of you just as I was about to leave this planet.”

Liu Pingsheng looked into Zhou Donghuang’s eyes, his face filled with amazement. “To be honest, after hearing about your performance in the Alliance Hunt and all your achievements at such a young age, I was very surprised.

“An astonishing young talent like you is rare to come across not only in Hengliu galaxy, but even in sects that are in galaxies that have more resources for training than the Hengliu galaxy.

“Furthermore, the disciples of those sects have been living in those galaxies since young. The resources you had for practice was nowhere comparable to what they had.

“And it is precisely because of this that I see so much potential in you. Now, you must have already guessed... why I am here, right?” Liu Pingsheng asked.

For Zhou Donghuang, he was already in shock when Liu Pingsheng was halfway into his speech.

If Liu Pingsheng was telling the truth, then he was definitely not just a late Divine Transformation stage adept or even an ultimate Divine Transformation stage adept. He was at least a Separating Divinity adept, even more superior than the Divine Transformation stage!

A thousand years ago, he reached the Primordial Soul stage as he was approaching the end of his life, which meant he was already nearing 600 years of age a thousand years ago.

Moreover, he had even traveled with two people from the Qi Dynasty and the Guangling Academy for a period of time. This meant that a thousand years ago, he was already more than 600 years old, or even older than that.

Unless he practiced the “Technique of Everlasting Youth,” then it would be simply impossible in any other circumstances.

The lifespan of a Divine Transformation adept was only 1500 years.

In his past life of a thousand years, Zhou Donghuang had never heard of any technique other than the “Technique of Everlasting Youth” that could extend one’s lifespan.

“Your purpose of approaching me is to pass down the knowledge that you learned over those centuries, for me to continue polishing my Dharma Power and hopefully master the technique of Divine Dharma?”

It was not difficult for Zhou Donghuang to guess why Liu Pingsheng had come to look for him.

“Not bad.”

Liu Pingsheng nodded. “In the time ahead, I will be staying at your Lightning Sword Sect for a while... to personally pass down the knowledge I have gained for the past few hundred years to you. Once I have given you all my knowledge, I will then leave.”

After hearing Liu Pingsheng’s words, even the usually unshaken Zhou Donghuang could not help but gasp.

In fact, Zhou Donghuang was already moved when he had heard that by mastering the technique of Divine Dharma, even with a poor foundation in practice, there was still a hundred percent chance of entering the Deity’s Tribulation stage.

By practicing the “Lord of the Four Supremes,” Zhou Donghuang could at most reach the Primordial Soul stage. To progress further to later stages, he would have to create his own technique.

Even with his thousand years of memory from his previous life, it was still a challenging path to take to forge his own technique beyond the Primordial Soul stage.

If the technique of Divine Dharma was indeed this powerful, the moment he mastered the technique, there would be no need for him to create his own technique anymore. He could reach the Deity’s Tribulation stage through mastering Divine Dharma.

“I have to confirm something.

“As long as the technique of Divine Dharma is mastered, one can really reach the Deity’s Tribulation stage no matter how poor their practice technique is?” Zhou Donghuang asked.

“If I can only reach the Primordial Soul stage with my current method of practice... I can still reach the Deity’s Tribulation stage as long as I master the technique of Divine Dharma, without changing my method of practice?”

Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s question, Liu Pingsheng looked at him in shock. “Your method of practice can only reach the Primordial Soul stage?”

“Yes.” Zhou Donghuang nodded.

“What a coincidence.” Liu Pingsheng smiled as he shook his head.

“Coincidence?” Zhou Donghuang was confused as he did not know what Liu Pingsheng’s words meant.

“In the past, even the most outstanding techniques that the ancient people practiced only allowed one to progress up to the Primordial Soul stage.

Liu Pingsheng sighed and continued, “I found out about this from the book left behind by the ancient ancestor.

“Even so, the outstanding adepts could still enter the Deity’s Tribulation stage. This was because when they were at the Dharma stage, they mastered the technique of Divine Dharma.

“By using the technique of Divine Dharma, even as they entered the Primordial Soul stage, they were able to cultivate the powers of Primordial Soul Dharma Power to devour and absorb all the energy of heaven and Earth, even those in spirit stones and crystals.

“Their practice method after reaching the Primordial Soul stage was rather straightforward. They simply utilized the technique of Divine Dharma to aid in their practice.

“For ordinary Dharma adepts, even if they could master the technique of Dharma Power Control, they were unable to use their Dharma Power the moment they reached the Primordial Soul stage as they were unable to continue cultivating their Dharma Power... however, for adepts who were able to master the technique of Divine Dharma, even when they entered the Primordial Soul stage, they could continue cultivating their Dharma Power on the foundations of Primordial Soul stage.

“This was also termed as Primordial Soul Dharma.”

At this point, Liu Pingsheng paused for a while before continuing, “When I first heard about this, I was also extremely shocked as I could never imagine that in the ancient times, even the greatest adepts were only able to reach the Primordial Soul stage.

“During the ancient times, reaching the Primordial Soul stage was already considered the highest level of practice, and this was extremely rare.

“Moreover, those who were able to reach the Primordial Soul stage during the ancient era and those who were able to reach the Primordial Soul stage in this era are different... even for those who are practicing a Deity’s Tribulation technique now, they will also be defeated easily by a Primordial Soul adept from the ancient era who was practicing the ancient Primordial Soul level technique!

“Those who are practicing Primordial Soul in our era, even if they are able to reach the Primordial Soul stage, they may not be comparable to the ancient people who were practicing the ancient Primordial Soul technique to the ultimate Dharma stage.

“The difference is just too great. The techniques that were practiced during that era were more powerful than we can imagine.”

At this point, Zhou Donghuang’s eyes narrowed as he was taken aback.

Liu Pingsheng’s words seemed like a bolt of lightning that struck from the heavens above, splitting the thick fog that shrouded Zhou Donghuang’s heart.

Ancient Primordial Soul technique?

If Liu Pingsheng was telling the truth, then the “Lord of the Four Supremes” technique that he had been practicing could possibly be the Ancient Primordial Soul technique from the ancient era.

Not only that, but it was also considered a rare and top practice method in the ancient era, as the “Lord of the Four Supremes” could allow one to practice all the way to the Primordial Soul stage!

“Everything that you said... was recorded in that book?” Zhou Donghuang asked.

“Yes.” Liu Pingsheng nodded.

“The ancient era’s history may be divided, but there must be differences between the words used during that era and now... you can recognize them?” Zhou Donghuang asked once again.

“You even know about this?”

Liu Pingsheng was taken aback, as he would never imagine someone from a small galaxy like Hengliu galaxy would know something like this.

“In the sect that I was previously in, there were records written in ancient text. In my youth, as I was interested in these ancient languages, I learned to understand them,” Liu Pingsheng said.

“Can you let me take a look at this book?”

Zhou Donghuang’s gaze flickered as he finally let the words out of his mouth.

“No problem, it’s just that... will you be able to understand it?”

Liu Pingsheng glanced at Zhou Donghuang suspiciously, clearly not believing that Zhou Donghuang would be able to understand the text from the ancient era.

“Yes.”

Zhou Donghuang nodded as he had encountered a few stelae from the ancient era in his previous life. As he was curious about the inscriptions on the stelae, he specifically learned the language of the ancient era from people who understood the characters.

However, those stelae only recorded ordinary information, and he did not gain much knowledge from them.

While Zhou Donghuang was nodding, Liu Pingsheng had already retrieved the book from his space ring. Although the material used to weave the book seemed old and damaged, there was no sign of damage or decomposition on the book itself.

“What is written on the cover page?”

Liu Pingsheng was not hasty in handing the book over to Zhou Donghuang. He turned the cover page towards Zhou Donghuang and seemed to be testing him on purpose.

Zhou Donghuang immediately recognized the characters on the booklet, “The Diary of Yun Yi.”

The moment Zhou Donghuang finished his sentence, Liu Pingsheng exclaimed, “You... you can actually recognize the characters?!”

The booklet in his hands was indeed left behind by an ancient person, named Yun Yi.

On the cover page, the words written were indeed what Zhou Donghuang had just said.
