The fall of an Energy Refining Cultivator is much less dramatic compared to that of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.
There are no dazzling fireworks-like spectacle of natural treasures, only two red clouds suddenly appearing in the sky.
“Energy Refining Cultivator Sikong Yi, who had been cultivating for thirty-five years, was slaughtered by Energy Refining Cultivator Li Fan in the Misthaven
Sea Realm….”
“Energy Refining Cultivator Baili Chen, who had been cultivating for three years, was slaughtered by Energy Refining Cultivator Li Fan in the Misthaven
Sea Realm….
“Now they meet their end, returning to the heavens!”
Under the burning clouds, Li Fan stood quietly, caressing the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order in his hand.
It took a while to suppress the greed rising in his heart.
“What a gem, but it’s a pity….”
“It’s not my path.”
The Day Theft and Day Exchange Order is indeed the treasured artifact of the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect.
The Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect is a secretive sect that has existed since ancient times.
Unlike other sects, which establish themselves and recruit many disciples.
This sect does not have a fixed headquarters and each generation often only has one disciple.
So when the Great Calamity arrived, the other sects were plunged into an apocalyptic scene of blood and gore.
But this had no major impact on the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect.
The reason why the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect was able to maintain its lineage for nearly a thousand years with only one disciple, was largely due to its unique techniques.
Sky-Stealing: It can use blood essence and some special materials to create a special clone. Unlike conventional clone techniques, this clone not only has its own appearance, aura, divine soul, realm, and cultivation level, but even its own separate fortune.
This clone can be fully regarded as another individual.
added, or the blood essence of a living cultivator is mixed in, it can take away some of the talents and fortune that originally belonged to the other, and graft them onto the clone.
Of course, if it’s only this, it still can’t show the true power of the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect.
“The Secret of Swapping Day and Night”, in combination with the token in Li Fan’s hand, is the complete form.
This Day Theft and Day Exchange Order was forged by the thirty-eighth generation heir of the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect, Sikongyue, thousands of years ago.
Sikongyue witnessed the arrival of the Great Calamity. Countless cultivators killed each other as if their lives meant nothing. In her fear, she felt an urgent need to find a perfect method for saving her own life.
After a hundred years of painstaking research and studying myriad refining methods, she finally forged this Day Theft and Day Exchange Order.
The uses of the order are endless.
Not to mention the incredibly spacious storage space it possesses. Once refined, the order can move freely within the bodies of the practitioner and the clone, disregarding spatial distance limitations.
Most importantly, through the Sky-Stealing and Sun-Swapping Decision, the essence of the life of the clone and even the original self has been transferred to this order.
As long as the order is not destroyed, even if the original and the clone are killed, it can use the blood essence accumulated in the order daily to reconstruct a new body.
Thus achieving “resurrection”.
Simply put, when the technique is fully cultivated, what appears before the eyes of others, whether it is the original or the clone, are just empty shells.
This Day Theft and Day Exchange Order is the real essence.
Although this technique became somewhat unorthodox after Sikongyue’s radical alterations, it…
Was very effective.
Over thousands of years, this bizarre technique allowed the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect to always escape safely no matter what kind of danger they faced.
Therefore, the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect was able to inherit it for thousands of years without extinction.
Until Sikong Yi met Li Fan, who had the ability to reverse time and space.
The Sky-Stealing and Sun-Swapping Decision is not perfect and has some fatal weaknesses.
For instance, a certain distance must be maintained between the original and the clone. The further apart they are, the steeper the drop in the clone’s strength. If it exceeds the limit, they will retain only the minimum cultivation level of the initial stage of Energy refining.
Furthermore, since the essence of life is bound to the order, after the death of a Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect disciple, a portion of the remnant soul will be constrained within the order and cannot be released.
These remnant souls often retain some important fragments of memory from their lives.
In times of crisis, they can even be released by the owner of the order to fight the enemy.
When Li Fan’s divine sense entered the internal part of the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order, the vast storage space was empty.
Only the remnant souls of Sikong Yi and another, unidentifiable individual, were floating aimlessly within.
Li Fan’s divine sense transformed into a huge hand that grabbed these two remnant souls, reading their remaining memories.
After a long time, Li Fan finally understood why the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect, which has a thousand-year lineage, had fallen into such straits.
The cause of all this leads back to Sikong Yi’s cheap master, Sikong Bo.
Over a thousand years, the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect moved through various dangers unscathed. As a result, they gradually became arrogant, acting recklessly and without restraint. It reached an extreme with Sikong Bo.
In a distant land, Sikong Bo, who had reached the Foundation Establishment phase, was somewhat dissatisfied with the clone he had previously cultivated.
So he planned to collect materials and refine a new one.
Just then, he came across a five or six-year-old child in a wilderness village.
The child had an innate Immortal body. Not only did he have immense strength, but his cultivation speed was also alarmingly quick.
At that age, he was already a Perfect Energy Cultivator, ready to establish a foundation.
This excited Sikong Bo tremendously.
After observing from a distance for a while, Sikong Bo found that the child had exceptional fortune.
Every time he went hunting alone in the deep mountains, he could bring back all kinds of earth and heaven treasures.
If he could steal this child’s fortune, the clone he would create would certainly be extraordinary!
And so, blinded by his desires, Sikong Bo attempted to steal the child’s blood essence one night while the child was sound asleep.
However…
This child had already been selected by a Nascent Soul Expert.
The Nascent Soul Expert was near the end of his life and figured that he was unlikely to make any more breakthroughs. So he looked around for a host to possess.
He happened to find this child with his exceptional talent.
Ordinary possession methods would cause more or less harm to the host’s foundation. This Nascent Soul Monk was still hoping to ascend higher, so how could he allow this to happen?
So he adopted an extreme method: transforming himself into a natural treasure, waiting for the child to establish his foundation. Then, he could perfectly merge with the child.
That’s right, according to the memories left by Sikong Bo, humans can be refined into natural treasures.
Or rather, a large portion of the Foundation Establishment Strange Objects that constantly appeared in the world were transformed from fallen cultivators.
After a cultivator falls, the so-called “returning to the heavens” is not an empty phrase.
A cultivator’s “path”, after being transformed by heaven and earth for a number of years, gradually forms various extraordinary objects based on the characteristics of their personality and cultivated technique and reappear in the world.
Those who were unable to cultivate the same method in their lifetime continue to serve their purpose in death.
This is the attitude of the world towards all cultivators..
