Chapter 660 - 342: God Sacrifice Technique
However, his expression underwent a tremendous change, transforming from humble respect in facing Zheng Yi to a lofty tone, akin to ordering a servant. His words carried an air of arrogance and nobility that most people could not accept.
"The Divine Heir will accompany me to the Great Snow Mountain today; meanwhile, you will move directly to live in the Snow City above. Your status will be redefined, becoming nobles of the Snow City. Other matters will be handled by someone else."
The man in white spoke as if bestowing a gift, while the man Amu’s eyes lit up, a look of extreme excitement on his face.
"There’s one more thing, most importantly, from today onward, the Divine Heir will have no relation to you whatsoever."
"Yes!"
The man, initially uncertain how to deal with his son, became even happier, not only elevated to noble status but also relieved that the son he feared was taken away, as if all troubles were resolved.
"Let’s go!"
The man in white did not heed the man’s reaction, directly escorting the Divine Heir skyward, flying swiftly towards the Great Snow Mountain.
...
Three years.
Time flew by like a fleeting horse and vanished in an instant.
The parents of Zheng Yi in the Vulture Tribe had long been living a noble life.
Originally from these lower classes, they roamed the Snowfield Grassland, busy and diligent, spending their lives raising multiple children, even if some died prematurely, which was accepted as part of life.
Though occasionally recalling that thunderous day when the noble white-clad Immortal took away the infant from the Great Snow Mountain, they understood that from the beginning, that infant’s destiny was entirely different from theirs.
Since they could not accompany each other, they could only forget each other through the passage of time.
...
The Divine Heir taken by the Snow Mountain Cultivators was nurtured within the Divine Temple and personally taught by a group of Upper Cultivator Venerables.
As the most esteemed place in the entire Great Snow Mountain, it was also deemed by believers as the location closest to the ’Great Spirit Heaven.’
The entire Divine Hall, constructed from identically sized massive stones, was ancient and vast, possessing a unique charm.
These were selected piece by piece by the first generation of Snow Mountain Cultivators, spanning dozens of generations. A grand array enveloped hundreds of miles, with the entire Divine Temple towering atop the snow-capped mountain.
In the sunlight, the expansive structures reflected halos of light, appearing from afar like mythical temples, exuding a sense of splendid grandeur, and conveying an extremely noble, inviolable feeling.
Due to the special nature of this place, those qualified to enter this Divine Temple were prominent Upper Cultivators of the Great Snow Mountain; ordinary Snow Mountain Cultivators could only worship from the outside.
Here is the highest peak of the Snow Realm and the locale of endless belief in the Great Spirit Heaven.
The foundation of the Snowfield Divine Palace is to protect this sacred place.
Within the Divine Temple, ancient hymns are chanted year-round, their primitive voices echoing through the temple, bringing an inexplicable peace to one’s heart.
In three years, following his capture by the white-clad cultivators of the Divine Palace, Zheng Yi’s divine aura withdrew, engulfed in the Mystery of the Womb.
His consciousness fell into obscurity, muddled as if immersed in ancient times. The powerful will of his form ceased to appear, outwardly presenting as an ordinary infant, with no significant anomalies.
Under the instruction of the temple’s Eight Great Venerables, he continually learned diverse knowledge, including the cultivation system of the temple and the secret heritage of the Snow Mountain Lineage, each day akin to enlightenment, with teachings tirelessly instilled into his mind day after day.
Some extremely secretive information, if conveyed outside, would incite great upheaval.
Yet here, it was merely the foundational knowledge system Zheng Yi needed to learn.
Despite being ensnared in the Mystery of the Womb, never awakening his past intellect, his Innate Origin Divine Body remained mystical. Even a slight display surpassed his peers, akin to a millennial prodigy endowed with photographic memory and a tremendously strong learning capability.
In just three years, he mastered all information imparted by the Eight Great Venerables, seemingly unsatisfied, craving more.
Therefore, the upper echelons of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Temple had to convene to discuss this matter.
He was hailed as the most intelligent reincarnation of the Divine Lord in the history of the Great Snow Mountain, having mastered in three years what others took over ten years to learn.
Some Upper Cultivators even predicted that he would become the next naturally born Great Power following the sect’s Ancestral Master.
Undoubtedly the leader of the revival of the Snow Mountain Lineage.
Later, the High Priest of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Temple decisively decided to directly impart the Divine Heir’s core divine skill, the God Sacrifice Technique!
Unlike other Cultivation Sects, the Snow Mountain Cultivators believed in the supreme Celestial Gods, the Great Spirit Heaven. They held that the Great Snow Mountain was the highest sacred site bestowed upon the Steppe People by the Great Spirit Heaven, and the High Priest was the representative of the Cultivation Realm at the center of the Great Snow Mountain.
In every lifetime’s end, the High Priest’s death is not a real death, but merely a return to the side of Great Spirit Heaven.
The Divine Heir designated by the High Priest before death becomes the next messenger sent to the human world by Great Spirit Heaven.
Or one might say, life does not end, only reincarnates, with endless cycles forming eternal recurrence.
This is the core secret doctrine of the Great Snow Mountain lineage.
And it is a magic that only the High Priest can cultivate.
The Great Snow Mountain covers extensive lands, forming a vast grassland, snow-covered, scattered with countless tribes. These large and small tribes have been passing down their belief in Great Spirit Heaven for countless millennia, the seeds of belief deeply rooted in their hearts, becoming extremely stable, having long formed a world intertwined with divine and secular powers.
From the lowest slaves and commoners to the highest nobles and ruling class, this belief has permeated their bloodline, being passed down for generations, becoming an instinct.
The God Sacrifice Technique is a cultivation technique born from this belief.
Unlike general Spirit Soul Dao secret skill, it replaces the human body with the Celestial Heart, overseeing domains, drawing upon endless divine beliefs to exert mighty power.
All belief returns to Great Spirit Heaven itself.
Of course, this God Sacrifice Technique is not something everyone can cultivate; only the reincarnation Dharma Body of the Divine Lord, the future High Priest, can touch upon this core system of the God Sacrifice Technique.
This is a cultivation technique that only the Divine Heir can cultivate in the Snow Mountain Divine Palace.
Certainly, the higher-ups of the Divine Temple can also study, cultivate, comprehend, and grasp it, but strangely, from ancient times to the present, never has anyone obtained the true essence.
From beginning to end, only the High Priest can successfully cultivate the God Sacrifice Technique, thus making it the exclusive cultivation technique of the Divine Temple’s High Priest.
Cultivating this technique means using oneself as a Divine Spirit, receiving the worship of thousands of devoted followers, converting their devout beliefs into the supreme Divine Spirit.
This technique is reputed to be the projection of Great Spirit Heaven in the mundane world.
It can summon thirteen thousand Divine Spirits of the Great Snow Mountain.
Possesses absolute power to suppress the Extreme South Wilderness.
It is also one of the true foundations enabling the Snow Mountain Divine Temple to be passed down through the ages until today.
This God Sacrifice Technique is a secret of the Great Snow Mountain, said to be obtained by the High Priest from Great Spirit Heaven upon reincarnation. The entire cultivation technique is obscure and difficult to understand, only by comprehending it oneself can its true meaning be grasped.
Moreover, the prerequisites are numerous and extremely difficult to cultivate, the conditions highly stringent.
Cultivating this technique must start with a child, for only with an innocent heart, free of distraction, a Pure Yang body, can the foundation be established.
Furthermore, it must be the first cultivation technique on the Path of Cultivation; no other cultivation technique can be practiced prior, otherwise, influenced by traces of other magic, this God Sacrifice Technique cannot be successfully cultivated.
It’s easy to imagine the difficulty of having a child without any cultivation foundation directly cultivating the profound God Sacrifice Technique, its complexity so great even a great cultivator finds it hard to fathom.
It’s akin to asking an elementary school student to directly solve calculus without completing necessary basic education, completely lost and confused.
Thus, under the guidance of the Great Venerable, the knowledge learned by the Divine Heir becomes the foundation of cultivation; only by mastering it all can the God Sacrifice Technique be clearly understood, enabling the real commencement of learning and cultivation.
This is also because Zheng Yi’s performance was too outstanding, exceeding everyone’s expectations, even surpassing all ancestral masters in the history of the Great Snow Mountain lineage, learning the entire knowledge system in just three years, which sparked discussion among the higher-ups of the Divine Temple.
Ultimately, compared to other Divine Heirs, Zheng Yi’s timing to engage in the cultivation of the God Sacrifice Technique was far too early.
...
The Mystery of the Womb is not so easily solved, or rather, it is meant for the protection of Zheng Yi’s Divine Soul, placing him in an absolute void state, gradually merging the Divine Soul with the reincarnating infant, transforming into a true Innate Origin Divine Body.
From then on, no obstruction remains, achieving complete perfection.
Without awakened innate wisdom, Zheng Yi is merely a manipulated entity, under the cramming education administered by the high-levels of the Divine Temple, beginning to engage with the entire God Sacrifice Technique, not just with some scattered runes or simple hundreds of words, but the meaning contained within is vast as the ocean, overwhelming in its vast information.
Even with Zheng Yi’s extraordinary memory and formidable learning ability, it still took half a year to fully memorize and learn it all.
Even at this pace, compared to previous Divine Heirs, he is a genius with no predecessors or successors.
Typically, others spend decades or even longer to fully learn the content of the God Sacrifice Technique; the time Zheng Yi used is astonishingly brief, to the point of disbelief.
It was only several times less, even countless times less than others, incredibly brief.
Everything can only be explained as a divine miracle.
