The entire "Soul Cleansing Technique" consists of just three thousand words, yet it is a masterpiece of profound meaning, with each word like a pearl, and its purpose beyond comprehension.
Zhao Sheng listened only once and immediately knew that the creator of this technique was extraordinary, almost deserving to be called a scholar of both heaven and earth, with a mastery of the Hundred Arts, and their understanding of Artifact Refining far surpassed his own.
Once Chun Jun Youth finished reciting, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get this 'Soul Cleansing Technique'? Who created it?"
Upon hearing this, Chun Jun Youth instinctively stroked his chin, frowned deeply in thought for a long time, but couldn't remember the origin of the technique at all.
"Alright, I was just curious. Since you can't remember, don't bother thinking too hard."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. I really can't remember who created it. It seems like I heard it unintentionally when my spiritual wisdom first awakened."
"Unintentional? Haha..." Zhao Sheng chuckled lightly, not believing at all that such a profound technique was overheard by accident; it must have been imparted intentionally by someone.
Teaching a special spell for washing and refining True Spirit to the True Spirit of a Magical Treasure.
It must be said, whoever did this is truly enigmatic, and their intentions are unfathomable.
Thinking this, Zhao Sheng flipped his hand, and the Red God Banner instantly disappeared.
"Now, let me ask you a few more questions. How does a Spiritual Treasure advance to True Form? What are the pathways for True Form Spiritual Treasures to advance to Primordial Yang? And how does one achieve Heavenly Spirit Treasure?"
Chun Jun Youth's eyes rolled around, seeming reluctant to answer these questions, but when Zhao Sheng shot him a fierce glare, he was so frightened that he trembled immediately.
"These are excellent questions, sir. I'm not sure where to start. Perhaps we could talk about Magical Treasures first?"
"Nonsense! Hurry up and speak; if there's even a hint of deception, I'll smash your lid!" Zhao Sheng glared fiercely, threateningly.
He figured out Chun Jun Youth's weakness; this little thing was clearly a recluse and a drunken spirit for ages but timid to the bone, a "loser" among Primordial Yang Spirit Treasures.
Chun Jun Youth couldn't stand being scared and hurriedly spilled everything he knew: "You probably know, sir, that Magical Treasures contain Treasure Restrictions, the most being nine, and when nine Restrictions combine, they become a spirit prohibition. The 'spirit' in 'spirit prohibition' stands for spiritual. Treasures are valued for their spirituality, and only when they nurture a trace of spirituality can they advance to Spiritual Treasures…
Spiritual Treasures have the ability to protect their masters actively, but this is purely instinctive, not out of wisdom. True Form Spiritual Treasures have developed spiritual wisdom and can independently nurture a unique True Form, like I have.
How do Spiritual Treasures advance? The key isn't in the number of spirit prohibitions, but in 'harmonization.' 'Harmonization' refers to the ability of the spirit prohibitions inside a Spiritual Treasure to construct a complete and self-consistent Law Spiritual Light. Once the light is formed, with the fortune of obtaining a trace of Innate Creation Power, it can generate spirit light and awaken the first rudimentary consciousness.
True Form Spiritual Treasures don't have to have nine spirit prohibitions; as long as they reach the 'harmonization' realm, even with only two spirit prohibitions, they can evolve into True Form Spiritual Treasures. Like myself, my master has only six spirit prohibitions altogether."
As Chun Jun Youth spoke, he grew more confident, and the fear on his face diminished significantly.
"Take the Red God Banner, for example. This treasure has long reached the pinnacle of True Form Spiritual Treasures, but unfortunately, its Primordial Yang Fire lacks just a trace of intensity, leaving it stuck between True Form and Primordial Yang for seven thousand years.
The secret of advancing Primordial Yang Spiritual Treasures lies in the words 'Primordial Yang.' What is Primordial Yang? In your Human Clan's terms, it's Kidney Yang, also known as True Yang or Child's Essence. However, in my view, Primordial Yang is the formless fire, for growth and transformation, the fire of emotions! Primordial Yang is the Innate Primordial Fire, born deep within the True Spirit Consciousness, and it cannot be obtained without miraculous opportunities!
Take me as an example. I was stuck in the True Form Realm for forty-seven thousand years before witnessing the True Spirit of the Exquisite Tower, a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, being annihilated by the Ninety-nine Thunder Tribulations. In my consciousness was born the first trace of sorrow, which served as a catalyst, ultimately igniting the Primordial Yang accumulated over tens of thousands of years, thereby entering the ranks of Primordial Yang Spiritual Treasures."
As Chun Jun Youth spoke, a tinge of sadness appeared in his eyes, as if recalling that moment.
"A catalyst of emotion?!" Zhao Sheng murmured, his mind suddenly enlightened.
It turned out that although True Form Spiritual Treasures had developed spiritual wisdom, it was a pure form of intelligence without even a trace of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Without desires, there can be no true yearning or impulsive drive.
Therefore, all actions of True Form Spiritual Treasures are purely based on logic and rational judgment, naturally preventing them from igniting their own Primordial Yang and crossing the most critical threshold.
"That's not right! Why is the Red God Banner an exception?" Suddenly remembering something, Zhao Sheng asked immediately.
Chun Jun Youth froze for a moment, then nonchalantly replied, "You may not know, sir, but the Red God Banner is an exception. Its True Spirit isn't pure; it contains a Returning to Void Divine Soul. Because of the constant influence of that soul, it could never develop its own emotional fire, and perhaps it never will in the future.
Of course, sir, if you were to take action and completely cleanse its consciousness and then cultivate it anew, it might have a chance of advancing."
After listening, Zhao Sheng neither confirmed nor denied it and asked, "How is Heavenly Spirit Treasure achieved?"
"Heavenly Spirit Treasure, of course! Heavenly Spirit, by definition, connects to the Heavenly Dao. It's known that the Heavenly Dao transforms into the rules of a world. After becoming a Primordial Yang Spiritual Treasure, it will nurture a Magic Domain world. To become Heavenly Spirit, this Magic Domain must evolve into a real world, undergo the trials of eight or nine thunders, and finally, the True Spirit transforms into an existence akin to the Heavenly Dao. That's how a Heavenly Spirit Treasure is born."
Upon hearing, Zhao Sheng had a sudden flash of insight and immediately asked, "What are the similarities and differences between Immortal Artifacts and Heavenly Spirit Treasures, and which is superior?"
Chun Jun Youth responded without hesitation, "If we're talking about power, naturally Immortal Artifacts reign supreme. However, in terms of potential for the future, Heavenly Spirit Treasures are deeper than ordinary Immortal Artifacts. Ordinary Immortal Artifacts are catalyzed by True Immortals, their limit being nothing more than Nine-layered True Immortal Artifacts, absolutely unable to reach the Constant Sun Heaven level.
The Constant Sun Dao Artifact is precisely the ultimate form of Heavenly Spirit Treasure, belonging to the Postnatal Dao Artifact type. Dao Artifacts are the evolutionary endpoint of us all. As for the legendary Innate Dao Artifact, because it was born before the Tao, it transcends All Universes and never touches a trace of Cause and Effect, even the Taoist Ancestor cannot seek it out."
"The Elder heard that the fifth heaven of the Void Realm is also known as Constant Sun Heaven. Is this heaven…"
"Your assumption is correct, the fifth heaven is named after this," Chun Jun Youth nodded proudly.
Zhao Sheng's thoughts turned in his mind, he immediately flipped his right hand, and a quaint little tripod with three legs and six ears, the Immortal Awakening Tripod, appeared instantly in his hand.
"Chun Jun, does this tripod have the potential to become a Primordial Yang Spiritual Treasure?"
Chun Jun Youth's eyes showed some curiosity, suddenly extending two hands, and said seriously, "Sir, may I examine the tripod up close?"
"Take it!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately handed the Immortal Awakening Tripod over.
Chun Jun Youth took hold of the Treasure Tripod with both hands, and his two tenderly white hands suddenly transformed into two beams of white light, which quickly penetrated into the tripod.
In an instant, the Immortal Awakening Tripod rose into the air, emitting a faint azure light, intertwined with strands of white luminance.
The white luminance moved around continuously, instantly burrowing along the azure light into the outer walls of the tripod, gradually illuminating one ancient symbol after another.
Buzz! Buzz!
The Immortal Awakening Tripod suddenly began to spin, emitting a buzz of clear sound, with the azure light it emitted faintly converging into clusters of azure lotus flames, surrounding the Treasure Tripod.
Upon closer inspection, the azure lotus flames had twelve petals, with their surfaces covered in dense ancient symbols.
Thirty minutes passed by instantly.
At this moment, Chun Jun Youth's spirit body had become faintly discernible, as if he had expended too much energy.
Zhao Sheng watched intently, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
"Phew, finally done! I am utterly exhausted," Chun Jun Youth sighed as thirty minutes flew by.
Now, Chun Jun Youth's spirit body appeared faintly discernible, having seemingly consumed a great deal of strength.
Zhao Sheng watched intently, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
"Phew, finally done! I am utterly exhausted," Chun Jun Youth suddenly exhaled a beam of light flame, then retracted his hands, embraced the Treasure Tripod in his arms, and didn't forget to complain.
