Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 564: Cooperate with my Transformation, Young Man! _1

A month flashed by, and Wang Linchi finally called upon Zhang Dao.

They had built a temporary dwelling in a deserted mountain, and life was pretty decent.

"Now, your proficiency with Charms has progressed well. It's time for you to learn one of Dai Temple's true transmissions," Wang Linchi said.

Zhang Dao keenly sensed that this time was different. He knew that previously there was no mention of "one of the true transmissions," only "the true transmission," which was the Heavenly Talisman Body.

"The first is known as the Heavenly Talisman Body, originating from the founding ancestor of the Talisman Dao."

"The second is called the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, originating from the Founding Emperor of the current Great Xuan."

"Their creators were both True Disciples of my Dai Temple lineage. However, typically, if a disciple's talent is insufficient, only the Heavenly Talisman Body is imparted; the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique is not."

"But you are different. You are the person most attuned to Charms I have ever seen, so you can also learn this Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique," Wang Linchi said with a serious expression.

However, Zhang Dao was cursing inwardly, Good heavens! After so many simulations, you mean to tell me you were holding something back all this time?!

"However, to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique, the Heavenly Talisman Body is required as a foundation to unblock the meridians. Without this, cultivation is impossible."

"Therefore, you must first achieve Great Success with the Heavenly Talisman Body," Wang Linchi began to elaborate persuasively.

This, however, set Zhang Dao's mind racing: Clear and unobstructed meridians? Doesn't that mean I could cultivate the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique in my real body too?

He knew that Great Xuan was in the End of the Dharma Era, so cultivation was extremely difficult. He had not anticipated that the powerful Heavenly Talisman Body was merely the foundation for the Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique.

He had, of course, witnessed how powerful the Heavenly Talisman Body at Great Success was.

"Please, Teacher, impart the method," Zhang Dao said hastily.

As for calling him Shifu, truth be told, Zhang Dao was quite reluctant. How could an old relic from the End of the Dharma Era be worthy of being his Shifu? Not to mention, he had a beautiful Shifu in reality. If he were to acknowledge this careworn, middle-aged man as his Shifu, it would feel incredibly awkward later on.

"Now that you've spoken up, it means I intend to teach you. However, this Heavenly Talisman Body is different from conventional cultivation methods. It requires reshaping your own Root Bone, flesh, and blood, so the process will inevitably be excruciatingly painful."

"At times, it might even involve flaying skin, pulling tendons, scraping bones, and carving flesh, akin to torture."

"You need to know this in advance because once it begins, it cannot be stopped."

"Either you succeed and achieve Great Success with the Heavenly Talisman Body, or you will die, body and soul!"

These words were spoken with great severity, accompanied by a chastising tone.

"I can endure it. Please, Teacher, impart the method," Zhang Dao replied without hesitation. The process was not only painful but also very lengthy. However, once successful, the immense power gained would be worth all the suffering.

Moreover, this wasn't his first time enduring such trials. During his previous simulations, he had already experienced it many times, so he was confident he could withstand the pain.

The entire reforging process for the Heavenly Talisman Body would last half a year. Upon completion, one would directly achieve the Great Success stage of the Heavenly Talisman Body. However, progressing from Great Success to Fulfillment would require one's own adaptation and cultivation.

The Heavenly Talisman Body had a very convenient aspect: progressing from Great Success to Fulfillment, it could even grow to the Fulfillment stage on its own, without needing personal cultivation or intervention. Moreover, the better one ate, the faster this growth. If he could consume ten or so precious herbs, his Heavenly Talisman Body could directly reach the Fulfillment level.

"Since that's the case, no matter how you beg for mercy later, I will not stop. I hope you can endure it yourself," Wang Linchi's expression conveyed that whatever happened next was for Zhang Dao's own good.

Zhang Dao was a little scared as he recalled the pain, which was very vague in his memory.

His Golden Finger actually had a function to blur memories. Otherwise, if he experienced hundreds or thousands of years in each simulation, wouldn't he feel completely out of sync with reality when he returned?

Therefore, after each simulation ended, his memories would be blurred, retaining only the general outline of events, knowledge, and the like. Many negative or unimportant memories were processed this way.

This resulted in Zhang Dao knowing that it was very painful, but when recalling it, he couldn't remember just how painful it was.

"Teacher, please proceed. Even if the pain causes me to lose consciousness, do not hold back." He felt he could endure it, but he still took precautions, lest he truly end up screaming and begging to stop.

"That is a given," Wang Linchi affirmed. Forget fainting; even if Zhang Dao ended up in a vegetative state, Wang Linchi wouldn't stop.

Actually, such an outcome was possible. However, Wang Linchi would help him recover afterward and erase the relevant memories, ensuring Zhang Dao would be completely unaware that he had suffered any lasting problems from the pain. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The best method would be to give Zhang Dao an anesthetic, letting him sleep through it all.

However, that wouldn't fit the current setting. Anesthesia hadn't been invented yet. If Wang Linchi were to produce it, wouldn't that reveal certain inconsistencies?

Well, even if anesthesia existed, it likely wouldn't be potent enough to counter the pain of Wang Linchi's "dissection."

There were quite a few other loopholes too. For instance, Wang Linchi himself didn't possess the Heavenly Talisman Body, so how could he perform this "operation"?

Perhaps Zhang Dao had asked before and been fooled by Wang Linchi, which was why he wasn't asking now. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, anyone would inquire about what this so-called Heavenly Talisman Body and Nine Revolutions Inner Pellet Technique actually were.

Only someone who had possessed them before and knew their effects would agree so readily without asking.

Wang Linchi wasn't concerned about this. If the other party didn't ask, he was saved the trouble of explaining.

"Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm going to start brewing the soup," Wang Linchi asked again.

Zhang Dao shook his head, "There's nothing else to say."

"Good then." Wang Linchi immediately began preparations.

Zhang Dao knew the soup being brewed was a kind of nutrient solution. It was meant to keep him alive, because otherwise, unable to eat for the next six months, he wouldn't survive without food or drink.

With this substance called Pre-heaven Nurturing Divinity Soup, a bowl a day was enough to sustain his body's nutritional needs.

The Pre-heaven Nurturing Divinity Soup could not only be consumed orally but also injected or applied externally. Indeed, if poured onto the skin, his skin could passively absorb it, converting it into nutrients.

Unfortunately, this Pre-heaven Nurturing Divinity Soup was considered part of the Heavenly Talisman Body process. He had benefited from it during previous simulations but didn't know its formula or preparation method.

I wonder if I can get the formula for the Pre-heaven Nurturing Divinity Soup this time. This stuff is a real treasure; in terms of healing and life-preservation, it's no less effective than precious herbs.

It definitely didn't contain any precious herbs. Zhang Dao was certain of this because he hadn't found anything resembling precious herbs in Wang Linchi's belongings.

This meant the Pre-heaven Nurturing Divinity Soup was brewed from ordinary medicinal ingredients. In other words, the herbs weren't very rare; perhaps they could even be bought in bulk.

"Then I'll go gather firewood." Zhang Dao continued to act attentively. Although the prize was almost in his grasp, it hadn't actually been bestowed yet, so he had to maintain the persona he had adopted.

"Hmm, go ahead, watch your step," Wang Linchi also advised him.

Zhang Dao responded, then hurriedly left.

Once Zhang Dao had walked some distance away, Wang Linchi sat down. Creating a nutrient solution wasn't difficult for him.

From what I've seen so far, this fellow is indeed quite capricious. I wonder if it's because he's a Player, or because of me?

Nine Extremes... one might say he values sentiment and righteousness, and perhaps he does. But this sentiment and righteousness seem to have little to do with me, Wang Linchi. Instead, he seems to prioritize others.

As a result of treating it like a game?

Even when I was explaining things to him, I sensed his fluctuating emotions, mostly negative ones.

Not a hint of gratitude or excitement, just a kind of accustomed acceptance.

Looks like I don't need to be gentle when performing the 'surgery' and 'dissection' on him. I was originally thinking of taking it easier. Since he clearly has no goodwill towards me anyway, why should I bother being pleasant? Might as well let him understand the true nature of this process.

I just don't know if he's simulating history from a future era, or if he's a projection from another world.

For now, I can't be sure which it is. If it's the former, it implies I would have to live into that future era. But the Calamity of the Last Law wouldn't permit that. Given the current rate of decline, the world would be destroyed long before then; how could there be a 'later age'? It would likely all be over not long after the Great Xuan dynasty reaches its End of the Dynasty.

If it's the latter, then it's a trans-world projection. That would entail considerable risks for me.

However, the potential benefits would also be immense. Naturally, I'd prefer it to be the latter. That would mean a new world, and one with a significant energy level at that.
