Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Master, what should I pay attention to when it comes to such an important event as the initiation ceremony? I'd like to prepare accordingly!"

"Although the initiation is simple, it is also very dangerous. If the initiation fails, at best the mind will be disturbed and the meridians will be disordered, and at worst you will suffer from qi deviation and die from body explosion. You must be mentally prepared. During the initiation, you must be willing, just like when you worshipped the ancestral master, and you cannot have any other thoughts, so that there will be no mistakes."

"Oh, so the initiation ceremony is this dangerous!" Xu Jingtian was shocked upon hearing this. If that's the case, isn't it like playing with one's life? If danger comes, one won't be able to control their own destiny.

"What, are you scared?" The Three Saints of Separation of Souls stared at him mockingly. "Hmph! Once you enter the path of cultivation, danger lurks everywhere, and everyone must be on guard. For elixirs, cultivation techniques, and high-level magic treasures, you compete for limited cultivation resources. You can kill at will, and you must constantly be on guard against being ambushed… On the path of cultivation, which day is without danger? To condense the Golden Core, you face near-death experiences; to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, to the Deity Transformation stage, each step is a hundred times more dangerous than the last! Without taking some risks, how can you achieve cultivation?"

Although Xu Jingtian had only been a member of the Brahma Sect for a little over a year, he had seen many disciples die before his eyes, more than anyone he had ever seen in his entire life.

This is only within the sect, and his cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage. You can imagine how fierce the competition will be for Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation stages.

The Three Saints of Soul Separation were not without reason. Killing and being killed happen all the time, and Xu Jingtian, as a newly initiated disciple, certainly did not have as profound an understanding of cultivation as they did. But he could not just stand by and watch himself die. What if the Three Saints of Soul Separation tampered with the initiation ceremony? Wouldn't he be throwing his life away for nothing?

Seeing that his intimidation had worked, the Three Sages of the Separated Souls smiled slightly and reassured Xu Jingtian, "Don't worry, during the initiation, you and I will be in the same boat, bound by blood and fate, so of course we won't let any dangerous situation occur!"

Xu Jingtian still hasn't made a statement. It's never a good thing for his fate to be in someone else's hands.

"Hmph!" Seeing that he remained unmoved, the Three Saints of Soul Separation turned cold and said, "I'm only talking so much nonsense to you because you've become my disciple. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for turning my back on you. Don't forget, the Soul Control Illusion Technique I taught you can control your mind, and then you won't have a choice..."

Xu Jingtian was startled. After cultivating the Soul Control Illusion Technique, he had personally experienced the terrifying nature of this spell. If the Three Saints of Soul Separation were to use this technique on him, there would truly be no way to save him.

"Master is too kind. This disciple is considering how to minimize the danger," Xu Jingtian said against his will, not caring whether the Three Saints of Separation of Souls saw through him.

The three saints of the departed souls' expressions improved, and they laughed, "Very good. A wise person knows when to yield. Just follow my orders and don't let any other thoughts arise in your mind! Even if the initiation is ten times more dangerous, it will still be under my control, and I will definitely not put you in a dangerous situation."

The three saints of the departed souls had attitudes that were sometimes cold and sometimes kind, giving Xu Jingtian goosebumps. He just didn't know what they were up to.

Xu Jingtian had no choice but to suppress his fear and say as calmly as possible, "Disciple is ready, Master, please begin." He only hoped that the Three Saints of Soul Separation would not kill him, because he vaguely sensed that the Three Saints of Soul Separation were worried about something and would not harm him for the time being.

The three saints who had separated their souls were overjoyed upon hearing this, as if they had been reborn.

"Okay, do as I say, and don't make a single mistake! Sit cross-legged, place your hands on your thighs, face upwards, close your eyes, clear your mind of all distractions, circulate your energy in your dantian, and begin to expel the old and inhale the new, relying solely on your innate breathing."

Xu Jingtian did as he was told, and the Three Saints of Separation sat close behind him.

The three Soul-Separating Saints raised their sleeves and draped them over Xu Jingtian's left shoulder. Xu Jingtian felt his upper body involuntarily sink slightly as the three Soul-Separating Saints reached out their other arm and pulled him back.

"Haha, after waiting for so many years, I've finally found the right person. My hundred-plus years of waiting haven't been in vain!"

As he spoke, Xu Jingtian suddenly felt a heat on his shoulder, and a domineering spiritual force seeped into his body from his shoulder, instantly dispersing the spiritual energy in his meridians and heading straight for his dantian. Xu Jingtian's heart tightened, and he involuntarily used his spiritual energy to resist.

The spiritual power of the Three Saints of Separation was like a vast ocean; his spiritual power crumbled upon contact and was instantly exhausted.

Just as Xu Jingtian was about to speak, he felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he were basking in the sun, and felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

"How was it? I've used magic to dissipate your Qi cultivation! Next, I'll be performing the initiation ceremony, so be careful!"

Xu Jingtian was taken aback. All the cultivation he had painstakingly practiced over the past year had been reduced to nothing in an instant. He couldn't help but shout, "What did you say?!"

If his body hadn't been controlled by the Three Saints of Soul Separation, he might have stood up. How despicable! These Three Saints of Soul Separation are actually bullying people because of their higher cultivation levels.

He tried to struggle to stand up, but his shoulder was pinned down by that arm.

"What's the panic? The immortal techniques you cultivate conflict with our Holy Sect. If you don't disperse them, how can you withstand my cultivation?"

As the three saints of the departed souls spoke, they also put their other hand on Xu Jingtian's shoulder.

Xu Jingtian felt an unbearable weight on his shoulders; if his body hadn't been relatively sturdy, he might have collapsed under the pressure.

Just as he felt he couldn't take it anymore, the arms of the Three Saints of Separation slid down from his shoulders, their palms pressing against his back. An even more domineering spiritual force penetrated his body, and Xu Jingtian immediately felt a tingling and numb sensation. His whole body felt as if it were weightless, and he slowly lifted off the ground, actually floating in mid-air.

The three sages of the departed soul continued to pour spiritual power into him from behind. As the spiritual energy entered his body, Xu Jingtian felt sometimes extremely cold and sometimes extremely hot. The alternation of cold and heat caused waves of pain all over his body.

The spiritual energy raged through Xu Jingtian's body, sweeping across his meridians and relentlessly purging them, leaving only his dantian. The spiritual energy swirled and circulated around his dantian, enveloping it layer upon layer. If Xu Jingtian's dantian hadn't been relatively strong, it would likely have been crushed by this overwhelming spiritual power.

The arms of the Three Saints of Separation were like leeches stuck to his back, making him extremely uncomfortable. Xu Jingtian gritted his teeth, trying to control a wisp of spiritual energy within his body, but the surging energy flowed uncontrollably and simply wouldn't obey his commands.

With a cracking sound, his dantian finally succumbed to the immense pressure, and a shattering sound emanated from within his body. The spiritual energy of the Three Saints of Separation continued unabated, pouring into his body relentlessly.

"I'm about to burst! Stop!" Xu Jingtian couldn't help but shout. He felt his meridians about to burst, his dantian about to shatter, and his flesh and blood felt like they were being washed away by a storm. He began to shake uncontrollably.

"Hehe, we're not even halfway done yet, what's the rush!" The cold voice of the Three Saints of Soul Separation behind him struck Xu Jingtian's heart like a death knell.

"What exactly are you going to do?" Xu Jingtian cried out in panic. Another ominous sign appeared; his mind began to become confused, his head throbbed with pain, and his skull felt like it was about to explode.
