There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 32: Regulations for the Management of Qingdan Cattle and Horses?

The Water Burning Qi Refining Technique?

After saying these few words, Xia Ming's face suddenly changed.

As his heart raced, Xia Ming also realized that something was wrong with himself.

Whatever He Niansheng asked, he would answer?

He could even blurt out a ridiculous name like the Water Burning Qi Refining Technique without thinking?

Could he really reveal such a secret to others?

What is wrong with me?

...

In Xia Ming's uneasiness, He Niansheng took out a thick black book.

He pushed the black book directly in front of Xia Ming, and his voice slowly rang out.

"Xia Ming, tell me, what is the name of this book?"

With the black book in front of him, Xia Ming's throat churned.

Xia Ming tried hard to suppress the urge to speak, but he found that he couldn't do it at all.

"Qing... Qingdan..."

Upon hearing the words "Qingdan," waves began to rise in He Niansheng's eyes.

And Xia Ming's next words completely stirred up a storm in those waves.

"The Regulations for the Management of Qingdan Cattle and Horses!"

As soon as Xia Ming said this, He Niansheng let out a long sigh.

Regulations for the Management of Qingdan Cattle and Horses?

This is clearly the "Rules for Qingdan Disciples"!

Looking at Xia Ming in front of him, He Niansheng felt complicated in his heart.

He admitted that Xia Ming was right.

To him, these rules for disciples were indeed regulations for managing cattle and horses.

But the words written on the black book were not these few characters at all.

His gaze focused, and He Niansheng directly spread out the "Rules for Qingdan Disciples" in front of Xia Ming.

"Xia Ming, tell me, what did you see?"

The black book unfolded, ink flowing, spreading out completely.

Like clouds and mist, like ripples on water.

In front of Xia Ming, the ink turned into ferocious little beasts.

They were tearing at each other, insatiably greedy.

Gradually, they turned their gaze towards Xia Ming.

And Xia Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, even between the lines and stitches of the book, there were the same little beasts.

Those little beasts opened their big mouths, and faintly visible in their pitch-black throats were two large characters.

—Cannibalism.

Seeing these two characters, Xia Ming's heart trembled.

Master... he really didn't deceive me.

Between the lines and stitches, there are indeed the characters for cannibalism!

"Xia Ming, what did you really see?"

He Niansheng's voice rang out again, and Xia Ming could only helplessly reply:

"Reporting to Master, the entire book is filled with the characters for cannibalism."

Looking deeply at Xia Ming in front of him, He Niansheng had already roughly figured out Xia Ming's situation.

Writing cannot exceed three characters, that is just an external appearance. The real problem lies in Xia Ming's mind!

His consciousness, his soul, has gone wrong!

During the years of being stuck in the Core Formation Stage, He Niansheng had not been idle.

Advancing from Core Formation to Nascent Soul involves the soul, relying on opportunities for enlightenment rather than just focusing on cultivation.

The Gold Core of a cultivator is like an incubating miracle, and the Nascent Soul is the miracle that hatches from that egg.

The soul is what gives life to the Gold Core, without the embryo, no matter how big the Gold Core is, it is useless.

And the soul originates from the heavenly spirit, with countless connections to the brain.

Using the soul well, giving life to the Gold Core, nurturing the Gold Core, can lead to the formation of the Nascent Soul.

This is what He Niansheng thought, and this is what he did.

And the source of this theory was the Soul Daoist who developed the method of seizing souls.

Even the proud He Niansheng had to admit that the Soul Daoist was truly a genius.

The Soul Daoist, who had been stuck in the Core Formation Stage for many years, had reached a terrifying level of research on the soul.

And his recorded research notes gave He Niansheng endless inspiration.

He Niansheng really liked one sentence from the Soul Daoist.

If you can't figure it out, just do it.

And so, He Niansheng began his research.

Gradually, he discovered that the theories of the Soul Daoist were all true.

His theories about the soul were simply ahead of their time.

After personally experiencing it, He Niansheng's admiration for the Soul Daoist grew day by day.

He even wanted to open up the head of the Soul Daoist and take a look.

To see if the Soul Daoist's brain was different from others'.

The brain, oh, the brain.

The brain is a wonderful thing.

Especially the brain of a cultivator.

Under that thin layer of scalp, perhaps lies the true secret of the immortal path.

If it is gently opened, perhaps a glimpse of its incomparable brilliance can be seen.

Those deep ravines, those twists and turns, all hiding secrets.

What surprised He Niansheng even more was that with just a little manipulation, one could strip away the senses and alter cognition.

In the brain, some areas determine vision, while others determine language.

Upon careful examination, it is infinitely marvelous.

However, there is one thing, mortals are too weak and cannot withstand such changes.

Cultivators are more suitable.

Fortunately, as the Qingdan Sect's Supreme Elder, He Niansheng is not lacking in cultivators.

Cultivators are not only suitable, but their heads are also more interesting.

The heads of cultivators... they can lie.

Even if something is done to their heads, cultivators still won't notice.

Even though their hearing and touch may be disabled, cultivators can still taste and feel textures.

If too many changes are made, cultivators will undergo drastic personality changes, and some may even turn to the Demon Dao.

And the culprit behind all this is the cultivator's soul.

The soul, oh, it's indescribable.

As long as the soul is guided, it can form an embryo within the Gold Core.

The soul is hidden in the elixir, constantly growing, until one day it breaks through the elixir and becomes an infant.

And this is the method of breaking through infancy introduced by the Soul Daoist!

What He Niansheng is even more unforgettable about is that the Soul Daoist mentioned something in his notes.

He said that he had discovered a secret, a secret about immortals.

But what that secret is, he did not write it down.

...

His thoughts gradually returned to reality, and He Niansheng looked at Xia Ming in front of him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

In his view, Xia Ming's current situation is a manifestation of an abnormality in his soul.

His perception, his vision... are no longer normal.

But he is unaware of it.

His soul has deceived him.

However, a mutation in the soul is not necessarily a bad thing.

The Soul Daoist also said that things should be analyzed based on specific circumstances.

Mutations in the soul can be classified as either good or bad.

The Soul Daoist believes that a mutated soul may be more likely to achieve the position of Nascent Soul.

In fact, the Soul Daoist mentioned in his notes that the Nascent Soul is a distorted soul!

A good mutation in the soul can still be accepted, but a bad mutation is terrifying.

A bad mutation may cause cultivators to go insane, and some may even turn to the Demon Dao and become Demonic Cultivators.

Demonic Cultivators act without principles, and with their distorted souls, they live recklessly, regardless of the consequences.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of every righteous cultivator to eliminate Demonic Cultivators.

There are also many causes of soul mutations.

Such as the influence of inner demons, brain trauma, consumption of elixirs, psychological pressure, etc.

So, what is the cause of Xia Ming's soul mutation?

In just a moment, He Niansheng thought of the answer.

Could it be...

Did this kid encounter problems during his promotion to a Superior Spirit Root?

He took another look at Xia Ming in front of him, and He Niansheng became even more certain of his speculation.

Yes, it must be like this!

When Xia Ming was growing into a Superior Spirit Root, his soul also underwent a mutation.
