Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 279 Is this the power of unparalleled wisdom?

Xue Dingshan was also very familiar with this matter. Looking at Di Xiao, who had once again fallen into deep meditation, he pondered, "Brother Di Xiao, what you said is true. Even if one cultivates the Defilement-Slaying Technique to perfection, it is difficult to completely clear the impurities from the body. In fact, different people who cultivate the Defilement-Slaying Technique will clear out different impurities."

"For example, even if a human who has condensed a spiritual body has cultivated the Defilement Removal Technique to perfection, he can only remove up to 50% of the defilement. A king's body can remove up to 60%, a god's body can remove up to 70%, and even a Dao body can only remove up to 80%."

"The remaining 20% ​​of impurity is too difficult to eliminate. Only through cultivation, increasing one's strength, and reaching a certain level can one delve deeper into oneself and completely eradicate the remaining 20% ​​of impurities."

"Unfortunately, the 20% of impurities hidden within the body before annihilation still affect the foundation and essence of our human race's cultivation, and even hinder our breakthroughs. This is why, from the birth of humanity to the present day, the number of strong individuals has been decreasing! Alas..."

Xue Dingshan sighed deeply, knowing full well that during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the human race produced numerous powerful figures. This was due not only to the support of sages, the complete cultivation traditions they received, and the accumulated knowledge of countless predecessors, but also to a more crucial reason: the human race at that time possessed less impurity within their bodies, had higher aptitude, and found cultivation easier, encountering fewer bottlenecks.

However, as time went on, the human race's aptitude declined with each generation, and the amount of impurities accumulating within them increased. Ultimately, this affected the future of the entire human race.

Now, looking at Di Xiao, who was in deep cultivation, Xue Dingshan secretly sighed: "If Brother Di Xiao were to create the fourth level of the Defilement Severing Technique, or even a pure self-cultivation method suitable for the entire human race, it would be a dramatic change for the entire human race."

Xue Dingshan watched with anticipation. Therefore, regardless of how Di Xiao cultivated, he would now protect this place.

Emperor Xiao is unaware of these things.

Now, he is focused on cultivating the "Soldier's Divine Body Technique." He uses the five elements, the energy of creation, and the Daoist principles of mending the heavens, condensed from fragments of the five-colored stone, to create warriors who charge against enemies formed from filth.

Di Xiao used himself as his battlefield, constantly clashing and waging war. For a time, the air within Di Xiao was thick with the smoke of battle, and countless battles raged.

However, as the battle raged, Di Xiao discovered that the last 20% of filth remaining in his body was incredibly troublesome and powerful. Even when he used resources transformed from the fragments of the Five-Colored Stone to evolve his soldiers, he still gained a slight advantage.

Di Xiao silently thought to himself, "The less residual filth there is, the stronger the filth will be, and the stronger the evolved soldiers will be. In that case, we should deploy more troops to encircle and suppress it."

Emperor Xiao unleashed a torrent of spiritual energy and resources transformed from the fragments of the five-colored stone. He amassed an army of hundreds of billions within his body, using his mind to devise various military strategies.

As time went by and as he fought, Di Xiao became increasingly skilled in leading troops and gained a deeper understanding of the principles of warfare.

Especially as he fought, Di Xiao gained some insights.

[Your extraordinary wisdom accompanies you as you use yourself as a battlefield, and the countless battles that ensue within it. Combining your previous learning with the military classic passed down by Han Xin, you have gained a vague understanding of the profound mysteries of military strategy. Furthermore, by integrating your own knowledge, you have created a method of warfare for the battlefield. It is named: The Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Governing Method!]

The Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Commanding Method is essentially a cultivation method for generals. Its core principle is to command the eight desolations and sweep across the six directions. It allows the practitioner to command the armies of the eight desolations and conquer enemies throughout the six directions. To cultivate this method, one must first comprehend military strategy. The more military strategy one comprehends, the more generals one commands, and ultimately, the more one evolves into the Way of the Military. Accompanied by the surging of the Way of the Military, one sweeps across the eight desolations and six directions. The process of sweeping away enemy armies is also the process of comprehending the Way of the Military, thus embarking on the path of the Way of the Military.

However, Emperor Xiao currently possesses relatively few cultivation methods and has accumulated limited wisdom. Therefore, the "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Governing Method" he created is merely a prototype. To perfect it and make it a true cultivation method, it requires the enrichment of boundless wisdom.

Di Xiao awoke from his boundless wisdom and, realizing the limitations of his own creation, couldn't help but sigh: "My wisdom and experience are still insufficient. Otherwise, I would have perfected the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Governing Method directly, instead of only creating a prototype that makes it easier for cultivators to embark on the path of military strategy and better comprehend it."

"Enough of thinking so much. Let's get to the action!"

Then Di Xiao continued his battle against the filth within his body. However, the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Governing Method allowed Di Xiao to comprehend the art of war, empowering his soldiers with it. This made the soldiers formed within his body increasingly courageous in battle, ultimately annihilating countless enemy troops transformed from the filth.

Several years passed in this way, and Di Xiao's body hummed, his will to mend the heavens surged.

Then, black mist spread from within, and blood mist exploded from within. Then, flesh and blood collapsed, transforming into a new embryo. And then Di Xiao emerged from it.

"A complete transformation? Another complete transformation!" Xue Dingshan looked at Di Xiao with great surprise, feeling Di Xiao becoming more and more powerful, as well as a kind of creative energy and the profound mystery of mending the heavens emanating from Di Xiao.

Di Xiao nodded, admitting directly, "I have once again removed one-tenth of the impurities from my body. Unfortunately, this last one-tenth of impurities is too difficult to eliminate. Even my 'Divine Body Technique of Military Path' is unable to shake this last one-tenth of impurities."

"It's okay, it's already okay." Xue Dingshan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Finally, his face flushed, he spoke of the special nature of the filth that was difficult to eradicate.

Xue Dingshan, equally excited, inquired, "Brother Di Xiao, what about the Divine Body Technique of Military Path that you created?"

"Brother Xue, do you want this method? It's simple, I'll pass it on to you right away." Di Xiao made no attempt to conceal the spread of this method. Or rather, Di Xiao couldn't wait for it to spread.

Immediately, Di Xiao passed on the Divine Body Technique of Military Path to Xue Dingshan, which surprised him. He then began to comprehend the technique, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "This, this..."

Even the well-informed Xue Dingshan was speechless, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Di Xiao, you just passed it on to me like this? This is too much..."

"Haha... This is just a method I created at will, and it's of no use to me now. Let it be spread." Di Xiao said casually without any politeness, which silenced Xue Dingshan and his personal guards.

Good heavens, is this the power of unparalleled wisdom? Such a precious method, created so casually, and then so easily passed on. Doesn't that make them seem rather foolish?

Di Xiao smiled slightly and said calmly, "Brother Xue, this Divine Body Technique of Military Strategy can also serve as the fourth level of the Defilement Severing Technique. However, the difficulty of cultivating this technique is much greater than the first three levels of the Defilement Severing Technique. After all, the first three levels of the Defilement Severing Technique only involve the absorption of spiritual energy, while this Divine Body Technique of Military Strategy requires the cultivator to have a certain understanding of military strategy and the art of leading troops. In fact, to bring this technique to its full potential, one must at least comprehend some of the fundamental principles of warfare."
