674: Chapter 674 Mahayana Mind Method

Meaty walked into the courtyard, and seeing you all return so quickly, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? You're not going to earn Contribution Points anymore?"

You smiled and took out the Mind-Cultivation Technique Jade Slip, placing it on the stone table. "Want to take a look together?"

Meaty was stunned for a moment, muttering to herself—already got the Mahayana Mind-Cultivation Technique so quickly? However, she didn't ask further and just leaned in.

The three of you immediately sat around the stone table, heads together, staring at the contents of the Jade Slip.

Qin Yu read aloud as she looked, "Breaking through to Mahayana requires experiencing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, consisting of nine stages in total, with nine bolts of heavenly lightning in each stage..."

"It requires a minimum comprehension of one thousand perfected Laws. The more one comprehends, the higher the success rate..."

"It is best to possess a Heart Without Leaks. This does not mean being heartless, but rather being able to calmly accept any Karma, grievances, or obsessions, without regret, fear, or lingering attachments..."

"If there are flaws in one's state of mind, the Lightning Tribulation will give birth to a Heart Demon from those flaws, dragging the Cultivator into an endless illusion, resulting in the destruction of their Divine Soul."

"A Heart Without Leaks cannot be cultivated; it entirely depends on individual willpower."

"Finally, there is Dao Compatibility. This specifically tests those who possess various special Physiques. After successfully breaking through to Mahayana, such people can forge a Dao Body and awaken a certain Physique Divine Ability."

"However, this type of Divine Ability requires self-comprehension, slowly mastering its depth."

"For example, the Heavenly Fate Dao Embryo can begin to comprehend the Great Dao Divine Ability—Heavenly Fate Judgment."

"For example, the Spotless Sword Body can begin to comprehend the Great Dao Divine Ability—One Sword Returns to Nothingness."

"For example..."

This section of the Jade Slip listed a long, dense string of innate Divine Abilities awakened by various Physiques.

Seeing this, you nodded in sudden realization: "No wonder those with special Physiques find it easier to break through to Mahayana; it turns out there is this stage of Dao Compatibility."

Upon seeing the four characters "One Sword Returns to Nothingness," Meaty looked expectant, her fists clenching unconsciously.

Qin Yu didn't respond and continued reading, "The first three stages are the Lightning of Laws, which require using one's own perfected Laws to resist and neutralize. If one's comprehension of a certain Law is not deep enough, the corresponding Lightning Tribulation will cause heavy damage..."

"The middle three stages are the Lightning of Karma. The Lightning Tribulation no longer purely attacks the Physical Body and Divine Soul, but instead triggers all the Karma the Cultivator has formed throughout their life. Every person killed, every debt owed, every emotion betrayed, will all manifest within the Lightning Tribulation..."

Seeing this, Qin Yu turned to look at you: "Your Karma isn't too heavy, right?"

You rubbed your chin, mentally reviewing the number of people you killed when you wiped out the Huanling Sect, and frowned, saying: "Does over a hundred thousand people count?"

Meaty chuckled: "Only a hundred thousand? I've killed more than that."

"Huh?" You widened your eyes, looking at this seemingly harmless little girl, "Where did you kill so many people?"

"I killed millions. They were all dogs of the Heavenly Palace, not worth pitying." A cold glint flashed in Meaty's eyes.

Qin Yu also looked at you with a smile: "Brother, your hundred thousand really isn't much. Which of those Soul Transformation Cultivators in our academy hasn't killed hundreds of thousands or millions?"

You smiled at the two of them, suddenly thinking of Liu Jinfeng—the number of people that woman killed was truly terrifying.

Qin Yu didn't continue the conversation, reading on: "The last three stages are the Lightning of the Great Dao. It uses the Power of the Great Dao to bombard the Cultivator's Dao Body, Dao Heart, and Dao Foundation. Each person's Lightning Tribulation is different, with no fixed form; it could be a boundless sea of lightning, a Chaos black hole, or a void of nothingness..."

"There is also the Heart Demon Tribulation that runs throughout the entire process. Once during the first three stages, once during the middle three, and once during the last three..."

"After surviving the eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning, the Heavenly Dao will descend with boundless Dao Rhyme to reshape the Dao Body. Once successfully forged, the new Dao Body will be in harmony with the Great Dao, capable of channeling the Power of the Great Dao with every gesture..."

"The reshaping process is extremely painful, equivalent to shattering the Cultivator's Physical Body, Divine Soul, and Dao Foundation entirely, then rebuilding them. If you endure it, you reach Mahayana; if you don't, you turn into nothingness..."

After finishing, you nodded, muttering to yourself: "It's similar to Qin Han's Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, but slightly different."

"Brother, where do you plan to undergo your tribulation?" Qin Yu asked.

"Let's go to the Wuji Immortal Sect," you said.

Meaty glanced at you, Qin Yu nodded, and neither of them said anything more.

You immediately took them away from the academy and headed toward the Wuji Immortal Sect.

After traveling for some time, the three of you arrived at Wuji Immortal City.

Walking out of the Teleportation Array, you scanned the surroundings, and a thought flashed through your mind—

Just one word: massive.

The teleportation plaza was massive, the main roads were massive, some people were massive, and the entire Wuji Immortal City was massive.

It was packed with people everywhere, bustling in a way that didn't seem like the mortal realm.

You looked at the two of them and said directly: "You two go stay at Tianxing Tower first; I'll come find you after I finish my business."

"Don't you need us to act as your Protectors?" Meaty asked.

Qin Yu took her hand: "Let's go, have you forgotten who is by his side?"

Meaty then realized and nodded—she had forgotten that you still had Qin Han by your side.

Watching the two leave, you walked into a secluded, empty alleyway. With a thought, that wisp of Sword Dao Origin within your body emitted a hum.

You immediately sensed the location of the Immortal Sword deep within the earth's veins, and with a flash of your figure, you arrived inside that Immortal Sword.

Inside the Immortal Sword was a void. You moved your intent, and the Immortal Sword emitted a hum, teleporting away with you.

When you reappeared, you were already in the starry sky millions of miles away from the Wuji Immortal Sect.

You didn't stop, continuing to flee deeper into the starry sky with the Immortal Sword. One star after another was left behind you, changing from the size of a fist to the size of a sesame seed, and finally becoming completely invisible.

You didn't know how long you had been fleeing before you let the Immortal Sword stop.

You were able to command the Immortal Sword entirely because it had once given you a wisp of Sword Dao Origin; relying on this wisp of Sword Dao Origin, you were able to command it.

But the Immortal Sword itself was still in a deep slumber, because you hadn't awakened it.

You moved your intent, and the Immortal Sword transformed into a size of a hundred zhang. You sat cross-legged on the sword body, overlooking the starry sky.

All around were stars, densely packed and countless.

The largest one, shaped like a giant sword lying across the starry sky—that was the Wuji Continent.

You took a deep breath.

It was time to undergo the tribulation.

You released all your aura, triggering the Heavenly Tribulation.

The starry sky suddenly darkened.

It wasn't nightfall; it was the light disappearing.

Cultivators on tens of thousands of nearby stars all looked up, watching this sky that had suddenly darkened.

For a moment, some gasped in surprise, some trembled, and others knelt down directly.

"Is someone Undergoing Tribulation to break through to Mahayana again?"

"I remember over two hundred years ago, Ancestor Lu failed that Breakthrough... Sigh, what a pity."

"Thankfully, the Ancestor of the Mo Family succeeded over a hundred years ago, otherwise our Immortal Sect would have fallen behind the Heavenly Palace."

"I wonder who it is this time?"

Cultivators on countless continents looked up one after another, watching the starry sky.

No one was afraid; their eyes were full of anticipation.

You didn't know any of this.

You closed your eyes.

Waiting.
