A life of clearness

Chapter 372 Title
Chi Zheng listened in silence.

"One was imprisoned in our Beichen Pavilion for three days. The other was imprisoned for five days. Regardless of whether it was three days or five days, their behaviors followed the same pattern at different times of the day. For example, they meditated at the hour of Chou and punched at the hour of Xu. The time they did these things was exactly the same... It was as if their bodies were instinctively imitating another person."

"And is that non-existent person Heaven Devouring Daoist Master? Will he rely on the Heaven Devouring Forbidden Technique to transform the bodies of later practitioners so that Heaven Devouring Daoist Master can be reborn in their bodies?"

Until this moment, Zhizheng slowly spoke: "If it can be done so easily, that would be great. It is difficult to transform the power of bloodline for one's own use with the Heaven Swallowing Forbidden Technique, so how can we transform the bodies of later practitioners? And how can we make the powerful will of the Dao Master emerge from the bodies of others?"

"The Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique is nothing more than a powerful method for forging the body. I have already said that it does not even contain any content related to the comprehension of the origin of the Dao. It is simply wishful thinking for such a 'dead thing' to make Heaven-Swallowing Daoist Master reborn from the past to the present as the title suggests."

"...Really?" Lian Chengxian was a little unconvinced.

"If a book of skills can solve the problem, the titles handed down from ancient times would probably be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Only titles can achieve similar effects, and creating titles is extremely difficult."

Lian Chengxian was silent. It’s not like he hadn’t thought about this issue, but…

……

"I didn't dare to be the test subject." Lian Chengxian said to Rong Qing, and he didn't feel embarrassed. "The deeper you practice the Heaven Swallowing Forbidden Technique, the more dangerous it is. The probability of becoming a meat eater is too high. I am not so dull that I can't break through in a certain state for tens of millions of years. I have the responsibility of the sect, so I will never take the risk to practice the Heaven Swallowing Forbidden Technique."

“No one succeeded?”

"No one." Lian Chengxian was very sure: "I suspect that this Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Law is a way for Heaven-Swallowing Dao Zun to try to create a title. However, since no one succeeded, no one can be sure whether it is a successful title inheritance. Or perhaps... the first volume of Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Law that has been circulated is not the real Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Law, but was modified by Heaven-Swallowing Dao Zun."

"What is the so-called successful title inheritance?" Rong Qing asked curiously. This was not the first time she heard the word title, but no one had given a detailed description of it.

"You do not know?"

"Please help me solve this puzzle, Brother Lian."

Oh, Lian Chengxian remembered that Rong Qing might not really know this "common sense", so he explained: "The ancient sages discussed the Dao for seven days at the Longevity Banquet in the Snow Tempering Courtyard, studying the possibility of immortality. The title is one of the ways to pass on their will. The later ones who get the title get the power and perception of the great man who created the title. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that they have reached heaven in one step. There are also failed examples, such as the meat eaters. The will of the people who got the title was annihilated, and they could no longer tell who they were before, and walked the world with the will of the great man. The successful ones only took the power and perception of the title, retained their own will and consciousness, and their strength level went to a higher level from then on."

"Can the inheritance of a title be so dangerous?"

If they fail, they will become the container of another will just like the meat eaters. Of course, it is also possible that the will did not enter this container either.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to take some risks." Lian Chengxian didn't care.

"So what is the ratio of success to failure?"

"I don't know. Most of the quotas for receiving title inheritance are in the hands of the Venerable Realm, and only the Venerable Realm knows the ratio. As for some title inheritances scattered across the heavens and myriad worlds, it's good enough to encounter one. Who knows what the probability of success or failure is? In short... there are those who succeed and those who fail."

Rong Qing thought about it and said with a smile: "For the ancient great powers who created the title, if the title is successfully inherited, it would be considered a failure for them, right?" After all, their original intention of creating the title was to achieve immortality. If their will cannot descend upon the younger generation who inherits the title, then wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Lian Chengxian sneered, understanding the subtext of Rong Qing's words: "Since the ancient sages were so powerful that they could come up with a way to confer titles, how could they not consider this?"

"When countless people flocked to receive the title inheritance, they were destined to be invincible."

"Since the first title appeared in the second great age, great ages have passed, and the inheritance of titles has never been cut off. As long as the title is not cut off, they are 'immortal'. These ancient powers are passed down in this way in the long river of time, constantly passing on the title to the successors."

Rong Qing opened her lips slightly, unable to refute for a moment.

"This is similar to blood inheritance." She whispered.

Creatures in the world pass on through reproduction, and what they inherit is blood. The inheritance of titles does not require blood and flesh, but it passes on a certain will.

"I don't know the specific situation of the title inheritance." Lian Chengxian snorted: "I don't have the luck to encounter the title inheritance scattered in the heavens and myriad worlds, nor do I have the qualifications to get the opportunity to inherit the title from the Venerable Realm. But overall, the benefits far outweigh the risks. If you succeed, the title will be the best stepping stone, so I heard that there are special title battles in the Venerable Realm. Even the pride of the Venerable Realm will compete for these title inheritances."

Rong Qing nodded, then thought of something and became a little confused: "Did Senior Brother Lian ask Senior Brother about the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique?"

Didn’t you ask some questions about the origin of power?

"What else? He hasn't even comprehended the Dao Seed of the Origin of Strength. Do you really think he is a monster who knows everything? Forget about the proud genius of the Supreme Realm. In this world, I only believe that the Dao of Heaven is the true master of everything."

Lian Chengxian sneered, "If I ask him about the source of his strength, there's no point in winning. But..." He pondered for a moment, "He does have a hand in various fields. Even if he can't comprehend the source of his strength, his martial arts attainments are not weak. In addition to the questions about the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique, I directly used the source of my strength to comprehend a move against him. He responded with the weapon control method that our Beichen Pavilion is good at. I can see that he is very close to comprehending the source of his strength."

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and I haven't heard any news about him. Maybe he has already realized the source of power."

Lian Chengxian had no doubt about Chizheng's talent.

Rong Qing smiled: "I think so too."

Lian Chengxian glanced at her.

"Now that you have practiced the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique, do you want to continue practicing it?"

"In fact, my master accepted me as his disciple just to let me practice the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique."

Oh? Hearing this, Lian Chengxian slowly clenched his hands on his knees.
