Chapter 107: The Seven Apertures Spirit Secret, The Unfathomable Soul Secret Art 1
That’s right, the Lu family also has a more important secret manual in their line of heritage, the ‘Seven Apertures Spirit Secret’.”
Zhou Sui’s eyes showed a flash of intensity.
Without a doubt, aside from the second-stage Alchemy Heritage, the most important heritage of the Lu family is the ‘Seven Apertures Spirit Secret’.
This was the crucial reason why Lu Hongran, the ancestor of the Lu family, rose to prominence and advanced to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator even though he was a loose cultivator with only a fifth-grade spiritual root and without a sect.
It was said that Lu Hongran used to be just an ordinary scholar in a mortal dynasty.
By chance, he slipped off a cliff and accidentally entered a cave abode.
There, he happened to encounter a fallen high-person and obtained his heritage.
The most important of these was this ‘Seven Apertures Spirit Secret’.
This was a Soul Secret Art for cultivating the power of the spirit, incredibly profound and deep.
Legend has it that there exists such a unique physical constitution in the world, known as the Seven Apertures Spirit Heart.
Once one possesses the Seven Apertures Spirit Heart, one can communicate with all things in the world. With this ability, one can see through all illusion techniques.
One would even have photographic memory and exceptional understanding.
This secret manual was created by a powerful cultivator who simulated this special constitution and thus created the Soul Secret Art.
The so-called Seven Apertures Spirit Heart does not refer to the eyes of the heart.
Keep in mind, normal people don’t have eyes in their hearts. If they do, death is not far away.
The so-called eyes, refer to Heart Eyes.
That is to say, imbuing seven Heart Eyes within the body, each Heart Eye contains incredible abilities.
If all seven Heart Eyes are gathered, then one would be able to perceive everything.
Back in the day, Lu Hongran leveraged this secret manual, consolidated a Heart Eye and as a result, he gained the ability to distinguish the properties of all materials and see the truth of treasures.
Using this ability, he would travel between various loose cultivator markets, constantly buying low and selling high, earning a lot of spirit stones.
Within a short amount of time, he amassed enormous wealth, even enough to purchase a Foundation Pill.
As you can imagine, Lu Hongran naturally became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Unfortunately, his aptitude was limited to this point, and consolidating just one Heart Eye was already his limit.
Consolidating a second Heart Eye was an impossible task.
Back in the days, Lu Hongran had once imparted this secret manual to the disciples of the Lu family.
But among the Lu family, basically no one could grasp it, let alone consolidate a Heart Eye.
“I can’t believe Lu Hongran actually had such opportunities.”
Zhou Sui was amazed.
After just a glance at the introduction above, he knew that this cultivation technique was extraordinary. In the entire cultivation world, there were hardly any secret manuals that could compare to this Soul Secret Art.
This might indeed be a unique cultivation technique.
It’s rather unexpected that Lu Hongran had such extraordinary encounters.
Indeed, every loose cultivator that rises to prominence has uncommon encounters.
Otherwise, without resources, talent, guidance from a master, how can one be successful in Foundation Establishment?
However, it’s a pity that the cultivation technique is incomplete and only includes the first three layers.
Even if practiced to the end, only three Heart Eyes can be consolidated.
But for ordinary cultivators, this is certainly enough.
Even if only one Heart Eye can be consolidated, it’s still an extra gift of talent for a cultivator.
“This is fantastic, wouldn’t mastering this cultivation technique allow me to advance another level?”
Zhou Sui was very excited, feeling like his blood was boiling.
Although he possesses strong spiritual power and was naturally endowed with a powerful soul, he always lacked a Soul Secret Art.
The appearance of the ‘Seven Apertures Spirit Secret’ book seemed like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
If he can master this secret technique, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Thinking of this, he took a careful look at the secret art, wondering whether he could understand it with his current level of comprehension.
An hour later.
^Damn it, what the hell is this cultivation technique, can a human being learn
Zhou Sui’s face turned green.
He initially thought of giving it a go by himself, without relying on the power of the Book Worm, to see if he could learn it.
But after carefully reading the content of the secret manual, he found that this technique was just too overbearing.
This technique includes using the power of the spiritual sense to consolidate a Heart Eye deep within oneself.
Furthermore, the Heart Eye cannot be fabricated recklessly. In terms of precision, it has to be identical to a real eye.
More so, it has to be a three-dimensional model.
This is equivalent to using one’s own divine sense to recreate an eye.
Consider this, the eye is an extremely precise part of the human body and can be said to be the most precise part.
Even the slightest deviation can lead to the destruction of the Heart Eye, rendering all previous efforts futile.
Once the Heart Eye is destroyed, it causes a backlash of the spiritual sense, severely damaging the soul.
Over time, a cultivator’s soul will collapse and die.
Back then, there were not a few people in the Lu family who went mad because they practiced this cultivation technique, which led to the collapse of their souls.
In the end, many members of the Lu family were scared and dared not practice.
They even shelved this secret technique, barring other Lu family disciples from practicing.
Even though sealing this supreme technique away may seem like a waste there was no other way. Without enough talent, it was impossible to learn it.
Even entering the door was an impossible task.
“No wonder no one could learn it, there would be ghosts if anyone could.”
“This is indeed a cultivation method that can be learned only by Golden Core cultivators or even those above the Nascent Soul stage.”
“How on earth did Lu Hongran manage to learn it?”
Zhou Sui sighed deeply.
He understood very well why the disciples of the Lu family couldn’t learn this cultivation method.
Among the cultivators within several tens of thousands of miles radius, probably not even one could master the ‘Seven Apertures Spirit Secret’.’
After all, learning this cultivation method first requires a very strong soul power and high comprehension. Only then is there a possibility of learning it, otherwise, failure is certain.
Just a few failed attempts at shaping the Heart Eye would severely damage the soul.
The reason why Lu Hongran was able to learn it was not only due to his talent, but mainly because he received the Sweet Dew Illumination of the deceased mysterious cultivator. Otherwise, he would not have been able to even begin.
“Forget it, I ‘ve got to use cheat codes.”
Zhou Sui pondered for a moment and decided to give up on his own efforts.
Isn’t it great to use the power of the Book Worm?!
If he were to rely on himself, he probably wouldn’t even get a chance to start it before he died.
Swish–
The Book Worm jumped on it once again, swallowing the Heritage Jade Record.
Suddenly, a vast amount of information plunged into the deep recesses of his
Sea of Consciousness, providing everything about the ‘Seven Apertures Spirit Secret’, reaching the level of photographic memory.
He sensed that three patterns had formed, each pattern representing a Heart Eye.
The constructed structure of the Heart Eye surfaced.
Using this structure, he could perfect such a Heart Eye within himself.
If he was successful in perfecting it, it would mean that he had consolidated a Heart Eye.
