Chapter 103: Each Ascends the Celestial Ladder by Their Own Fate (2)
How could He Kao possibly know! But this sentence was a self-question and answer, with a divine thought explanation inherent in the words, detailing the characteristics of the various levels of the Lingxi Skill's cultivation, along with various attentions, and even included the complete technique.
It was simply caught him off guard! A complete Lingxi Skill inheritance was acquired just like that? Jiang Daozhen didn't even give a prior notice, nor did he ask if He Kao agreed, let alone if he wanted to take him as a teacher.
If Lin Qingshuang had acted like this back then, perhaps He Kao would already be a Tier Two Acupuncturist of the Observing Body Sect by now.
But in the divine thought, Jiang Daozhen also had a natural explanation, because He Kao's identity was already equivalent to the Sect Leader of the Hidden Moth Sect, and a thousand two hundred years ago, this information was what he was qualified to consult.
Although the lineage of the Hidden Moth Sect has been lost for a thousand two hundred years, it seems that the Magic Sect has not abolished this rule.
The specific content of the Technique was extremely complex, and much of it was beyond He Kao's comprehension at present, and even should not be touched by him, not due to identity issues, but because the cultivation was really too low.
Therefore, Jiang Daozhen used the Divine Thought Heart Seal. The content that He Kao cannot yet understand cannot be deciphered now, but as his cultivation advances, he will naturally be able to understand more of the mystical insights.
The Tier One Lingxi Skill, known as the Observer.
Just from this title, one knows to pay attention to the instruction to maintain an observing attitude, not to easily engage in divination, and certainly not to tell fortunes, but rather to attentively observe the people and events of the world.
Tier Two Lingxi Skill, commonly known as Dust Guest.
At this stage, cultivation is no longer simply observation, but one must personally experience worldly matters, interacting with many people, grasping the mysterious changes and developments, and verifying this with one's own observation and analysis.
Tier Three Lingxi Skill, self-proclaimed as the Prophet.
It sounds magical and high-class, but in reality, the cultivation considerations are much like a company's planning department, needing to formulate and complete a certain plan, which in a sense is a prophecy.
A Prophet needs to foretell certain events, but if the prophecy fails, it will also cause certain backlash, so one must cultivate cautiously.
Tier Four Lingxi Skill, jokingly called the Divine Stick.
It sounds as if it has a lower status compared to the Prophet, but it is already in the ranks of High-tier Sorcerers. This is both self-mockery and a reminder to be cautious in the application of technique capabilities.
Historically, many Divine Sticks truly engaged in the profession of the Divine Stick, such as setting up stalls for fortune-telling or acting as shamans. At this time, be sure to minimize the use of techniques, but also achieve objectives.
There's an old saying, "The celestial mechanism cannot be revealed," which is what Divine Sticks have liked to assert since ancient times. But since it cannot be revealed, why choose the profession of a Divine Stick? The reasoning might be found in this!
Divine Sticks are not absolutely forbidden to use techniques, but in these situations, it cannot be stated directly; instead, one must express in a different way, such as through indirect or equivalent means.
"The use of non-use, there is Lingxi at heart," is the most core and mystical instruction of the Lingxi Skill.
Tier Five Lingxi Skill, known as the Passerby.
The reason for this title is that, with cultivation reaching this point, they will no longer set up stalls for fortune-telling, but instead often ask for directions because they truly get lost or can get lost at any moment.
Tier Six Lingxi Skill, honorably called the Calculator.
Upon reaching this realm, one may practice the Lingxi Sect's unique secret technique—the Celestial Secret Skill, but all the cultivation from Tier One to Tier Five can also be seen as preparation for cultivating the Celestial Secret Skill.
Interestingly, although Jiang Daozhen asked He Kao—if he knew what the advancement ritual was, the divine thought introduction of the Lingxi Skill gave even specific techniques, yet it deliberately omitted the advancement rituals!
Because although the Sect Leader of the Hidden Moth Sect is qualified to consult various techniques, the specific advancement rituals are the secret transmissions within each Magic Sect, existing only after the Hidden Moth Lineage ceased transmission.
Jiang Daozhen also cannot easily reveal it to him.
However, Jiang Daozhen hinted to He Kao that the so-called advancement rituals are included in the aforementioned instructions, with each Magic Sect having different ingenious designs according to the specific characteristics of the technique.
He explained the considerations for the Tier Three Prophet and Tier Four Divine Stick in reasonable detail but touched only briefly on the initial Tier One, Tier Two, and final Tier Five, Tier Six.
Are there any titles for Sorcerers above Tier Six? No!
Because reaching this point, there are no ready-made techniques to speak of; predecessors only left guidance and enlightenment for realms, and cultivation relies entirely on one's own insights.
Some call Tier Seven Sorcerers of the Lingxi Sect the Grand Calculator, implying only a rank above Tier Six.
As for the total achievements of the technique, it is traditionally said to be Tier Nine.
But as of today, in the Magic Sect, the highest cultivation Jiang Daozhen has witnessed was Tier Seven. As for Tier Eight Sorcerers, they may exist, perhaps being seniors who have long retired from worldly affairs, but Jiang Daozhen has not personally seen them.
Tier Nine Sorcerers are even more legendary, a realm Jiang Daozhen can't even comprehend, nor can he tell He Kao anything more.
The techniques he imparted are complete, allowing cultivation up to the Tier Six Calculator level.
Returning to the earlier question, what ceremony is needed for a Tier Six Calculator to advance to Tier Seven? None! Or rather, there is no specific, predefined ceremony designed by predecessors that descendants can follow to succeed and thereby advance.
Perhaps it is impossible in itself, or perhaps the thousand-year history of the Magic Sect still lacks sufficient exploration and accumulation in this regard.
This kind of ceremony must be entirely based on one's own experiences and encounters, with a unique vow and opportunity. For the Lingxi Skill, it further requires the completion of a prophecy and finding an answer.
