My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 181, First Chapter: Ling Jia Guan's "Ten Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture"

The struggle over the Great Dao is actually a struggle over the proportion of the destiny of a certain extraordinary power in this world. It can also be understood as the degree of absolute control.

No wonder that those who use shortcuts are powerless against those who use shortcuts.

No matter how extraordinary their combat power, they are still as useless as clay chickens and earthen dogs, easily cut into the cycle of reincarnation with a single blow.

It's not difficult to beat someone to a pulp, leaving them completely annihilated.

The difficulty lies in how to accurately and directly inject it into the cycle of reincarnation!
Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, the past is gone, and the future... is completely controlled by others. From then on, let alone breaking free, even making slight changes to oneself becomes incredibly difficult.

The Celestial Venerable of the Near-Dao is indeed a being revered by all spirits in the world!

Once a person with extraordinary power is in control of a near-immortal, even if that near-immortal leaves this world, the power they control will not be directly returned to all living beings.

Otherwise, those immortals who took the "replicable" path in this predicament wouldn't have been left with no room for maneuver.

Only when a near-immortal falls will the destiny they controlled be dissipated.

Thinking of this, Bai Chijing couldn't help but have a sudden urge, because he suddenly had a premonition that he might have to kill many near-Dao immortals in the future.

However, he was completely clueless about which near-immortals he should kill.

This is because my current cultivation level is insufficient, and the time is not yet ripe.

Having understood this, Bai Chijing looked at the immortal ladder before him, which contained half of the world's superior formations, but showed no intention of advancing.

Once he steps onto it, he will indeed be one step closer to ascending the throne.

However, this was not what Bai Chijing wanted. Because once he entered it, everything he had learned in the past, including the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture," would be completely eradicated.

This is the shortcut that Zhi Xuantian gave to Bai Chijing, but it is also binding Bai Chijing to death!

Bai Chijing could sense that the heavens seemed to be creating a unique and incredibly powerful near-Dao Celestial Venerable!

"Is this asking me to do something?"

For no apparent reason, Bai Chijing felt that this scene looked somewhat familiar.

After a moment of contemplation, he sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate in front of both armies.

Because he didn't want to abandon his "Ten Desires-Free Suffering Immortal Scripture"!
This is not just his past, but also his past persistence and the various hardships he endured for that persistence.

People should not forget their roots.

This is spiritual practice, not imperial ambitions.

Spiritual practice is about giving your past self a complete and thorough account!

This creates a closed loop in the practice!

Bai Chijing's move left both armies somewhat baffled.

But no one bothered Bai Chijing.

The troops from the Xuanxian Dynasty are here because Bai Chijing is currently the only person in charge here, and everyone must obey his orders.

On the Yuntang Pass side, although everything revolves around the prefect who is pretending to be weak but actually cunning, Bai Chijing is actually the core figure here.

Furthermore, what the prefect of Yuntang Pass most wanted to see was that Bai Chijing had delayed his own cultivation because of this. Although Bai Chijing had not yet entered the Primordial Array Ladder, his comprehension outside the celestial ladder was essentially the same for the prefect of Yuntang Pass, so naturally he would not disturb Bai Chijing.

Then, Yuntang Pass plotted against them, only to find themselves in a dead end.

Because that very night, Bai Chijing broke through to the middle stage of the Outer Appearance realm.

However, Bai was not concerned about such a rapid improvement in his cultivation, so he continued to comprehend it.

This improvement in cultivation was not the result of Bai Chijing's deliberate cultivation, but rather an byproduct of his re-cultivation of the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture".

Back then, Bai Chijing achieved his goal through his mind and embarked on the path of the "Ten Greedy Desires and Suffering Immortal Scripture," and the same is true now.

Because at this moment, Bai Chijing had already condensed another external form.

And this time, the outward appearance is precisely the inner appearance!

With the formation of the mental image, Bai Chijing's cultivation speed increased further. However, although the cultivation speed increased, Bai Chijing's progress in cultivation was significantly slower than before.

Because he was trying to integrate the array principles.

This Zhi Xuantian gave him the innate ability to understand immortal runes and characters, and directly gave him half of the array formations in the world. Obviously, it was not because he thought he was the most suitable for array formations, but because array formations should be the only choice that this world could give him at the moment.

Otherwise, what appears before us now should be related to the Dao of Talismans.

If Bai Chijing is not mistaken, the destiny of the talismanic path should have been completely divided up, and at least 50% of it is in the hands of a single person.

At this point, Bai Chijing's talent was already exceptionally outstanding. However, even so, integrating the Dao of Arrays into the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" was no easy task. Even with his current fortune as vast as the sky, obscuring the sun, he still had some limitations.

Fortunately, Bai Chijing's usual strength remains consistent.

Today, you easily stripped an immortal of their cultivation using the Yellow Curtain Mountain Formation. However, you then encountered three individuals who appeared to be treasure-delivering children, requesting you to cultivate the Dao of Formations. You sensed an arrangement from Heaven. You don't reject Heaven, but you don't want this outcome, because your past cultivation represents your past hardships, which you shouldn't forget. Therefore, you attempt to combine your past learning with the Dao of Formations of the Mysterious Heaven…

[Find and obtain the Mind Array Technique created by Ling Jia Guan based on his inspiration from the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" +1]

A hint of surprise inevitably appeared in Bai Chijing's eyes.

This was the first time he had encountered an acquaintance within the "search" range of this fierce-eyed gourd. Moreover, the method created by this acquaintance was actually after he had studied the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" created by him.

"Why is this little girl learning my method?" Bai Chijing was puzzled. Although he did not write a book to pass on the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" in its entirety, the traces he left behind were naturally no secret to Banhu, who was capable of creating the world.

Therefore, Bai Chijing was not at all surprised or astonished that Ling Jia was able to obtain the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" that he had created.

He was simply curious why this little girl wanted to learn his method.

Although it's remarkable that the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture" could become a Heavenly Dao Immortal's interpretation and ascend to the top of the list of the most vicious and evil, it probably doesn't mean much to a mere Banhu, does it?
However, despite his confusion, Bai Chijing still began to learn the Mind Array Technique created by this little girl.

You can tell if someone is an expert just by looking at their work.

Compared to Bai Chijing's complete bewilderment, Ling Jia's Mind Array Technique was truly remarkable.

The Mind Array Technique, as the name suggests, is about setting up an array using the mind.

However, this mental formation is not the same as that mental formation. It is not a formation directly set up using one's own mental power, nor is it a formation set up by borrowing the mental power of others.

Rather, it was merely a fleeting thought, a change of mind in an instant, that set up the formation.

The reason for this is that this mental array technique is used to lock down the other party's karma and future self. Once this mental array technique is cast, the other party's karma will be fully revealed, and all of the other party's future changes will be directly halted at this moment.

The power of this mental array technique can be described as terrifying.

This exposes the other party's cause and effect, making it possible to cause them unbearable suffering simply by gently manipulating their karma. Furthermore, locking down their future self makes their future no longer uncontrollable, essentially turning them into a puppet unknown to everyone.

This mental formation technique bears some resemblance to the "Puppet Show Classic" and the "Self-Future Outlook Classic".

Clearly, this little girl has studied all the Heavenly Dao Immortal Explanations that were born in the mortal world. Among these three Heavenly Dao Immortal Explanations, the most terrifying is undoubtedly the one with the most ordinary name, the "Ten Greedy Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture".

Other Heavenly Dao Immortal Explanations can still be targeted, even if it's the Puppet Calamity that was used to cover up the "Puppet Playing Scripture" which controlled seven near-Dao Immortal puppets. This is no exception.

The one who even created a method to counter this "Puppet Show Classic" was just a scholar with little cultivation and who was extremely down on his luck.

This scholar did not even achieve official rank, nor did he gain fame for it, either during his lifetime or after his death.

However, the "Greed Chapter" created by this scholar completely restrained the entire "Puppet Show Classic"!

"Heart Array..."

Bai Chijing began practicing this mental array technique.

He studied for three days. During these three days, Bai Chijing's cultivation did not stagnate; he directly broke through to the Upper Realm of External Appearance.

Then, the five internal tribulations were all overcome in an instant.

Given Bai Chijing's current state of mind and immortal soul, there's naturally no need for him to suffer such an internal tribulation. The only thing that will require some effort is the three external tribulations.

Although Bai Chijing could use other methods to forcibly skip this step, such as gathering tribulation power with his immortal soul to allow himself to enter the Outer Heaven Realm.

But it's not necessary.

With the two armies currently locked in battle, his Yellow Melody Mountain Formation has already been set up, so there's no worry about it helping him complete the three external tribulations. Besides, to be precise, he only needs to overcome two external tribulations in total.

Because when the Xuanlong True Monarch arrives at the capital of the Xuanxian Dynasty, he will find that his cultivation cannot be restored, and at that time, all he will have to do is start over.

Although his fortune has now subsided, this backlash will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the Xuanlong True Monarch's rebuilding process.

In this way, Bai Chijing has successfully overcome his first external tribulation.

As for the other two external tribulations, Bai Chijing wanted to ask the three immortals in front of him to handle them for him. However, after careful consideration, he had to give up on this idea.

Because these three are exactly the same as the immortal who rescued Xuanlong Zhenjun.

Therefore, after three days of practicing the Mind Array Technique, Bai Chijing, who had already mastered the technique, did not hesitate to use this supernatural ability on the prefect of Yuntang Pass.

This is called "every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor."

Although this person never appeared, it did not prevent Shiraike Kei from using this technique.
