Above all spirits

Chapter 69 Nine Revolutions of the Reverse Death Heart Sutra

"Are you crazy? I've spent so much time wandering around the library with you, and you finally decide to practice this thing?"

Ji Ning looked at Hongxiu, who was holding a dusty, yellowed, old book, in disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Even if you're obsessed with surpassing me, you don't need to choose such a self-torturing technique that's impossible to achieve."

Hongxiu remained calm; it's true what they say, "One is influenced by one's company."

After spending some time with Gu Yun, my mindset has almost completely changed.

However, Hongxiu admires Gu Yun's calm and fearless attitude in the face of adversity more than anything else.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. Gu Yun also has his own joys and sorrows; he is not a saint.

Firstly, Gu Yun has lived two lives, so he always sees more and thinks further than others. Secondly, there really isn't anything or anyone in the lower realm that could pose a threat to Gu Yun, especially in the human realm.

That's why Gu Yun became so calm.

"Surpassing you is inevitable, but that's not enough. I need to stand by your side as quickly as possible."

"??"

Ji Ning was speechless. This girl was so stubborn. She hadn't even surpassed him yet, and she was already thinking about pursuing her older brother.

My older brother is miles ahead of me.

One at the starting point.

One at the finish line.

How to play.

Considering his elder brother's instructions, he rubbed his temples and explained.

"I don't know if you're genuinely naive or just pretending, but let me tell you this: your Heart Sutra was created a long time ago, and many prominent families copied it, but it's all just gathering dust. All the people who practiced it have disappeared without a trace."

"I advise you not to be stubborn about this."

"The Heart Sutra plays a very important role, as it is linked to the cultivation of the soul, and thus indirectly influences the evolution of one's entire life."

"Therefore, the initial choice is crucial. You should know that even if you switch to a higher-level Heart Sutra later, you will almost always have to choose a Heart Sutra with similar attributes to the first one to replace it."

"This Heart Sutra has almost no superior or inferior substitutes."

"Although the Ji family's main sutra cannot be passed on to outsiders, there are other low-grade sutras at the Saint level. Although the number is limited, if they are not suitable, then high-grade sutras at the Overlord level will also do!"

Looking at Ji Ning, who was spitting everywhere next to Hongxiu.

Bai Qing'er said with some worry.

"Brother Ji Ning, what's wrong?"

Ji Ning sighed as she looked at Hongxiu's stubborn expression.

"Is your sister Hong trying to get herself killed?"

"what?"

Bai Qing'er glanced at Hongxiu, who had already begun reading the Heart Sutra, with a puzzled look.

Ji Ning placed her hand on Bai Qing'er's little head and shook it.

He continued to explain.

"The Nine Revolutions Reversal of Death Heart Sutra, grade unknown, is a reckless cultivation method created by a madman with a sacred body."

"It requires the practitioner to experience nine life-or-death crises and comprehend nine different meanings of life and death."

"Different meanings of life and death mean that each life-or-death situation you face must be different, otherwise there will be no qualitative change."

"And the initial condition for you to cultivate this Heart Sutra is that you have already died once and have mastered a kind of life and death."

"Nine times! I still need to be tested between life and death!"

"It is said that the madman who founded it was only at the seventh level of cultivation, and that he killed himself when he was at the eighth level."

"After all, who can guarantee that they will survive every life-or-death experience? This mental cultivation manual has an absurdly low margin for error."

Hongxiu was completely unaffected by the negative things Ji Ning said, and succinctly pointed out the domineering nature of the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra.

"However, the Nine Revolutions Reverse Death Heart Sutra, with one revolution establishing hegemony, four revolutions entering sainthood, and nine revolutions breaking through the heavens, the enhancement of the nine life and death intentions is comparable to the top-grade of the saint-level high-grade cultivation techniques."

"Furthermore, the life and death energy possessing the will to live and die is far more powerful than ordinary blood energy."

Ji Ning offered one last piece of advice to Hongxiu, who only saw the big benefits and not the big risks.

"Currently, the highest record for cultivating this technique is only the seventh level, which is equivalent to a low-grade Saint-level technique. You can decide for yourself; I have already advised you against it."

"Qing'er, you must not be like your rigid older sister!"

Ji Ning immediately turned to Bai Qing'er and gave her a warning.

Bai Qing'er nodded and then shook her head, seemingly unsure of what to say.

“My brother said he would teach Qing’er later. I will learn whatever my brother tells me to learn.”

Ji Ning nodded in satisfaction.

I imagine that the elder brother probably wouldn't want Qing'er to learn this kind of life-stacking cultivation method.

Hongxiu rolled her eyes at Ji Ning.

"You two go shopping. You should have found the cultivation method that the young master needs by now."

After giving the reminder, he began the introductory practice of the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra.

Ji Ning retorted irritably.

"That's natural. As the eldest brother's most loyal subordinate, I was chosen as soon as I entered. As for you, if I may be so bold, you will never be able to enter the sect even if you have never experienced life and death."

"This thing is just so unreasonable."

"You should go back and figure it out slowly. Do you really expect to succeed on your first try?"

"I have no interest in accompanying you..."

"What the hell?!"

"Are you cheating?"

Ji Ning watched in disbelief as Hongxiu, with her beautiful eyes closed, gradually entered a state of soul perception.

She has actually grasped the meaning of life and death?

No wonder.

However, it would be somewhat impulsive to choose the Nine Revolutions Reversal Heart Sutra simply because you've experienced it once.

Because it seems that Hongxiu's talent is not ordinary.

Ji Ning believed that if she had chosen a different cultivation method, she might have truly soared to great heights.

It is important to understand that although all mental cultivation methods require countless conditions, they all lead to the same goal: completing the final step of communicating with the soul.

This requires talent.

No matter how special the mantra or how powerful the visualization, whether or not you can successfully communicate with the soul depends on how many times you need to practice the mantra.

The test is whether a person has the talent to become a cultivator.

Without talent, no matter how excellent or suitable the conditions are, one cannot elevate their life's status.

The fact that she succeeded on her first try suggests that Hongxiu may indeed have a great talent for cultivation.

Although I'm still not as good as him.

For a genius like him, achieving enlightenment and establishing a connection with the soul on the first try was a basic skill.

Unfortunately, what Ji Ning didn't know was that Hongxiu wasn't exceptionally talented. She was just an ordinary villager, and neither of her parents were cultivators, so where would she get any talent from?

Rather, it is through experiencing life and death, grasping the meaning of life and death, and getting closer to the soul.

This is why the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra is simpler and more direct than other mental cultivation methods, yet its effects far surpass those of other mental cultivation methods of the same level.

He teetered between life and death time and time again.

Therefore, their perception and experience of the soul must far surpass that of ordinary people.

The first step in a success is nothing special.

"Brother Ji Ning? This is..."

"Shh!"

Ji Ning gently covered Bai Qing'er's mouth, signaling her not to speak for the time being.

Although the location was a bit off, entering a state of awareness was quite sudden.

But at this moment.

These are all crucial time points for Hongxiu.

In the process of perceiving the soul, a certain degree of quiet is required to prevent the mind from being disturbed.

otherwise!

At best, one will need to reconnect with their soul; at worst, they will be unable to continue their spiritual practice.
