Chapter 668: The Dust-Covered Treasure, Unearthing the Statue's Secret (Monthly Ticket Guaranteed)
Buzz! ——
A coarse hand once again made contact at the moment with the Evil Emperor Relics.
Jiang Dali inexplicably felt a warm, familiar sensation as if touching human skin.
At the same time, a spiritual wave belonging to Xiang Yutian emanated from within the Evil Emperor Relics, conveying a message of goodwill.
"It seems this residual spirit of Xiang Yutian is truly useless; once a Demon Emperor, now it cowers before someone as tough as me, the village chief."
Jiang Dali frowned, trying to activate the intimidation effect of the "Strong Man's Intimidation Aura" from the "Force People to Do Things" title, to frighten the residual spirit further.
Xiang Yutian's spirit was shaken, becoming more terrified, sending frequent spiritual waves of goodwill.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Dali questioned, "Tell me, how did your spirit become trapped within the Evil Emperor Relics?"
Xiang Yutian's spirit sent a spiritual message back, "The Evil Emperor... it was the Evil Emperor who created the Evil Emperor Relics that harmed me... I am suffering, I am suffering, I am Xiang Yutian."
In a harsh tone, Jiang Dali replied, "I already know you are Xiang Yutian, how did the Evil Emperor harm you?"
In agony, Xiang Yutian replied, "The Evil Emperor wanted to devour me, I wouldn't let him, in the end, he consumed me, I consumed him..."
"What do you mean? You both devoured each other?"
Jiang Dali frowned impatiently.
Upon further prodding, he received the same few pieces of information over and over again.
Xiang Yutian's residual spirit appeared to have truly become idiotic, speaking incoherently, in an extreme state of unease and fear.
"It seems Xiang Yutian must have been attacked and devoured by Xie Po's spirit while attempting to cultivate the Primordial Essence within the Evil Emperor Relics.
Ultimately, Xiang Yutian's counterattack succeeded, resulting in Xie Po's spirit perishing, while Xiang Yutian's spirit survived but sustained severe damage, reducing him to an imbecile.
This successor Demon Emperor, Xiang Yutian, ended up eliminating his own grandmaster, Xie Po, who plotted for many years only to come up empty-handed..."
Jiang Dali thought and analyzed until he felt he had grasped the broad strokes of the situation and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
He proceeded to inquire a while longer for more information from Xiang Yutian's spirit.
In the end, he managed to extract some useful information from it.
Despite being an imbecile, Xiang Yutian's spirit still retained quite a lot of memories.
From it, he learned that the Evil Emperor Relics is indeed a treasure capable of gathering and then refining the Three Elements.
By utilizing this treasure, one could swiftly cultivate to the Heavenly Human 9th Realm, or even higher at the Returning to Truth Realm.
As the Returning to Truth Realm requires the union of the Yin Yang Two Gods and the unity of spirit, energy, and essence, to ultimately achieve life transcendence and a great breakthrough.
For most people, cultivating powerful spirit, energy, and essence is already considered difficult, not to mention refining them and finally achieving unity.
However, the Evil Emperor Relics can absorb others' essence, spirit, and energy. Although what's absorbed is very mixed, if a method to filter out the dross is found, much effort can be saved.
The most important thing is using the Evil Emperor Relics to quickly achieve Three Elements Unification, breaking through to the Returning to Truth Realm effortlessly.
"The attributes displayed on my panel for the Evil Emperor Relics don't reflect the effects described by Xiang Yutian.
Perhaps Xiang Yutian is mistaken, or perhaps there's an issue with the current state of the Evil Emperor Relics."
Jiang Dali analyzed and felt Xiang Yutian and the others might have fundamentally misunderstood how to use the Evil Emperor Relics.
Both Xie Po and the various subsequent Demon Lords sought to absorb others' power from the Relics to strengthen themselves.
Unbeknownst to them, power that did not originally belong to oneself may temporarily enhance strength but can't permanently sustain it.
External power, except for True Qi, like the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Essence, has imprints of others' life force.
Normal people need matching blood types for blood transfusion; otherwise, there are bound to be numerous hidden dangers.
Not to mention devouring the Primordial Essence and Primordial Spirit of various others.
Therefore, at the time of Three Elements Unification, no matter how much the Relics refine, it surely won't be as pure as one's cultivated power, inevitably causing hidden dangers later on.
"Originally, there was no spiritual power within the Evil Emperor Relics, perhaps that was its most original and reasonable state.
Now, filled with mixed energy, death energy, Primordial Essence, and lingering spiritual remnants, it has become polluted instead."
Looking at the Evil Emperor Relics in his hand, Jiang Dali made a decision in his heart.
He would not absorb the power within the Relics but could use it to cultivate his subordinates, forcing some experts whose potential had been exhausted to become stronger.
This would also revert the Relics to their true state, allowing him to harness its genuine power to refine the Three Elements of companions like Xiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng, and Dongfang Bubai, making them stronger.
With that thought, Jiang Dali put away the Relics and walked slowly out of the stone chamber.
Though he still hadn't figured out how he was reincarnated, he now had a clearer understanding of the Evil Emperor Relics.
Moreover, the remnant spirit of Xiang Yutian within the Relics was considered a pretty good find.
Although this imbecile spirit had missing memories, it still had quite a lot of knowledge.
Amongst it, the "Daoist Heart Demon Planting Technique" was the most well-remembered.
Though Jiang Dali had no interest in relearning this Heavenly Human Realm demonic manual, one can still learn from other's insights.
Utilizing this cultivation technique, combined with what Wang Yuyan learned from the Supreme Mysterious Scripture, could potentially address the spiritual power weaknesses in the Great Strength Divine Skill.
"It was rumored that Xie Po's master Xie Tiao, upon seeing the records of the War God Chronicles, uncovered its secrets and thus created the Daoist Heart Demon Planting Technique.
