Chapter 1181 Origin of Variant Immortal
?The school head of the Variant Immortal School was still talking endlessly about the cultivation details of the Variant Immortal School, looking very enthusiastic.
It was as though he had simulated this saying many times in his mind but had never received the chance until Xu Qing arrived.
"Back then, Ancestor Li Xuanfeng could be said to be a heaven chosen that is rarely seen in a thousand years. He comprehended 13 soul threads in a month and became the pioneer of our Variant Immortal School!"
The school head spoke proudly. The disciple beside him didn't refute and only sighed softly.
Clearly, even though there was a significant element of being misled into joining, those who still chose this path showed a certain level of recognition and sentimentality towards the Variant Immortal School.
"There's also Ancestor Chen Daoze. He's even more extraordinary. He's a peerless genius that is rarely seen in thousands of years. He comprehended 19 soul threads in a month!"
The school head of the Variant Immortal School looked at Xu Qing and spoke earnestly.
"Therefore, you have to work hard and cultivate well. As long as you can condense more than ten soul threads a month, the future leader of the Variant Immortal School will be you!"
As he spoke, the school head patted Xu Qing's shoulder and took out some jade slips, stuffing them all into Xu Qing's hands. Only then did he leave reluctantly and continue to organize the white tower's jade slips.
Xu Qing stood there and felt very hesitant. He carefully checked his sea of consciousness and discovered that there were indeed more than 10,000 soul threads spreading in it. He then thought of the school head's words and felt that something was amiss.
"What's wrong? Is your blood boiling from listening?" While Xu Qing was pondering, the disciple walked over and sighed beside Xu Qing.
"Let me tell you, don't believe this nonsense. When the other two senior brothers and I came, we were all told this. Not a single word was changed."
"Last time, I tried to persuade you but you didn't listen. Now, you've been branded as a core disciple... This is equivalent to being completely tied to the Variant Immortal School."
A look of sympathy appeared in the disciple's eyes.
"However, since you're here, you can't regret it. Follow us in the future. With you joining us, our newsletters can offer more variety."
Xu Qing looked at the disciple. He had some guesses about the newsletter this person was talking about. Hence, he asked about it.
"There are so many schools in Imperial Academy and many things happen in each school every day. Staying informed requires a considerable amount of time. Hence, the schools' newsletters compile a wealth of information."
"It contains the news of the various schools and the movements of the famous students. However, compared to the other schools, our Variant Immortal School is old and has a good geographical location. So, although it's not authoritative, the sales are not bad."
"Also, our focus is on gossip, so it is quite popular."
Speaking of the newsletters, this Variant Immortal School's disciple's tone was filled with pride.
"This is a business created by us brothers. Come, come, let me introduce you to it."
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Qing into the distance. There, Xu Qing saw many blank jade slips. After this disciple's introduction, Xu Qing knew that these blank jade slips were newsletters.
Their job was to imprint some frivolous information on every jade slip and sell them.
As for the source of the information, it was recorded in a few jade slips that they had gathered from somewhere.
Xu Qing picked one up and swept his divine sense over it.
"Last night, someone heard a tragic scream coming from the Divine Fusion School. Who was causing trouble in the dead of night? Find out in the Variant Immortal School's newsletter!"
"The chief student of the Verdant Path path turns out to be her!"
"What is the true identity of the Myriad Arts School's Chenyun? My investigation has lasted for years, and I will finally uncover it!"
"Xu Qing from the Holy Wave Large Region has entered the Imperial Academy. Do you want to know what school he has joined? Our newsletter will track and report on this matter!"
Xu Qing silently put down the jade slip.
"How is it? Our Variant Immortal School's newsletter has enough buzz, right?" The disciple chuckled.
"Not bad."
Xu Qing let out a calm voice and didn't feel any dislike. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since he had joined this Variant Immortal School, he might as well help this senior brother in front of him imprint the newsletter.
During this time, the school head came a few times. When he saw that the newly joined Xu Qing had also become like this, he sighed but didn't say anything.
Just like that, time flowed by and the sky gradually darkened. Xu Qing then left the Variant Immortal School.
When he walked out of Imperial Academy, the snowflakes were still falling. Xu Qing pondered about the Variant Immortal School cultivation art as he returned to the mansion and meditated.
"The cultivation art of the Variant Immortal School is to extract one's soul and combine it with a specific array formation to form soul threads."
"This demands a lot from the soul. If I extract too much, my soul will collapse, and it will be the same as courting death..."
"This is also the reason why the cultivation of this cultivation art is slow. I have to nourish my soul while cultivating."
"And the number of soul threads..."
Xu Qing took out the jade slip that had the images of the divine creatures and checked it. In his opinion, the divine creatures inside were a little ordinary. After all, he had seen gods.
As for the reason why more than 10,000 soul threads appeared at once when he cultivated this cultivation art, Xu Qing found the answer when he was publishing the newsletter during the day.
"I have divine sources."
"At the end of the day, this cultivation art of the Variant Immortal School simulates the method of the divine source. The image of a divine creature woven from one's soul is also a simulation."
"This method allows the soul to possess the characteristics of the divine source and transform it, manifesting it like armor… In the end, with a thought, it will change everything about itself."
"Therefore, the principle is the mused of the Summer Immortal can transform into an immortal body."
"If someone can really cultivate it to the extreme and simulate it step by step, then theoretically, they can weave the image of a god…"
"As for me, I have the divine source, so I don't need to simulate it. With a thought, I can release a considerable number of soul threads. Every one of them is transformed from the divine source."
Xu Qing became silent and a strange glint appeared in his eyes. After learning this cultivation art, Xu Qing knew that his previous judgment wasn't wrong.
His god form was indeed similar to the Variant Immortal School's cultivation art to a certain extent.
However, the body formed by the Variant Immortal School was essentially the aura of a cultivator. Upon closer inspection, one could see traces of soul threads.
While the god form emitted the pressure of divinity. It looked like it was an integration but in reality, it was changing from illusion to reality.
This difference could be easily sensed.
The human race had all kinds of spells and cultivation arts. Moreover, with the existence of gods and the research of divine creatures, there were too many ways to form a sight similar to Xu Qing's god form.
However, if one studied it carefully, they would discover that the essence was completely different.
Only this Variant Immortal School… had a similar nature.
"In that case, if I follow the method of the Variant Immortal School, I should be able to get more proficient in the god form."
A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.
"The god form I displayed before was transformed from the divine repository."
"However, if I break down the divine sources in the three divine repositories and refine them all into soul threads, then use the art of soul thread weaving to weave my three god forms…" (f)ree
"In theory, it can bypass the inadequacies of the god form opening layer by layer. For example, the third form… Because I'm not using one divine repository to support it, I'm using the divine sources of three divine repositories to weave it."
"At the same time, it won't be limited to three forms. I can even form the fourth form. As long as I have enough soul threads, I can create thousands of forms with a thought!"
Xu Qing was tempted. After he closed his eyes, he performed a series of hand seals with both hands and formed more soul threads according to the method of the Variant Immortal School.
In that instant, the first divine repository appeared behind him. Threads of divine source flew out and gathered in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness. His proficiency with the soul threads also suddenly soared.
Very soon, there were about 100,000 of them.
"Continue!"
The second divine repository appeared behind Xu Qing. Threads of divine source rapidly rushed out under his refinement.
130,000, 180,000, 250,000… In the end, 310,000 soul threads appeared.
Xu Qing believed that it was strenuous to control so many divine source soul threads. He knew that this was because he wasn't familiar with the weaving method of the Variant Immortal School.
Hence, he temporarily stopped refining. Instead, he followed the reference map of the Variant Immortal School and tried to form them one by one.
Although he wasn't very proficient, Xu Qing had too many divine source soul threads. Very soon, terrifying figures that emitted divine fluctuations appeared one after another behind him.
If a disciple of the Variant Immortal School was here and saw this scene, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
This was because in their understanding, divine creatures that could only theoretically be formed were appearing one after another in Xu Qing's hands.
Moreover, each of them was lifelike and the pressure they emitted was so strong that it surpassed the range of the divine creature itself.
However, Xu Qing wasn't satisfied. To him, this was only a way to increase his proficiency. He continued to control the soul threads to form divine creatures. In the end, with a thought, these divine creatures all collapsed and transformed into 310,000 soul threads again, gathering together.
The first layer of his god form appeared in Xu Qing's mind. With it as a reference, he began to mold it.
Due to his sufficient understanding and familiarity with the weaving method of the Variant Immortal School's soul threads to a certain extent, his first god form suddenly appeared.
It stood in the secret chamber and emitted astonishing pressure.
That pressure was very different from when Xu Qing normally displayed his first layer of god form.
Not only did it contain the will of the god, but it also contained the characteristics of the Variant Immortal School. Most importantly, Xu Qing found that he could burn it with a thought.
It could be transformed into a huge power that would break through shackles and barriers, pushing his cultivation base to rise.
This realization caused Xu Qing's breathing to quicken slightly. His eyes suddenly opened.
"The Variant Immortal School's cultivation art is indeed special!"
"It looks like it's refining soul threads and weaving divinity, but all of this is just the surface. What's truly terrifying about it…"
"It can transform the divine source into the power to break through!"
"When you reach your limit, burn the divine image and transform it into a huge driving force that forcefully breaks through the barrier of the broken immortal path and connects to the path ahead, breaking out of a new path. You can borrow the divine to become an immortal and become a Variant Immortal."
Xu Qing's expression changed. It was also at this moment that a light knocking sound rang out from outside his closed-door cultivation chamber, accompanied by the captain's voice.
"Junior brother, are you there? Tonight, with the sparse moon and high winds, accompanied by snowflakes and the chill, it's perfect for me to do something small. But I need someone to watch out and assist. Are you up for it?"contemporary romance
