Master of Strange Dao

The only resemblance to the person who ignited the first spark of anger back then lies here.

It's not because he's not from this world, but because he was once starved to death.

That unforgettable feeling, feeling so exhausted, to the point where hunger no longer felt, only fatigue, unwilling to open his mouth to say a word, unwilling to move a finger.

It was as if a fire was burning inside him, as if he obviously hadn't reached the end of his lifespan, yet he still had to die.

Then his five internal organs began to burn, consuming the final essence of life, allowing him to embrace death.

That kind of torment where no one inflicted any harm on him, yet it was the most terrifying torment in the world, he experienced it completely.

From life to death, from death to life.

The most turbulent, complex moment in his life was that day.

Or rather, during that period.

He fell from a world of air-conditioned comfort and happy drinks, straight into the wilderness.

The disparity he had to face was far beyond those on the wilderness who regarded eating meat as a celebration, having experienced famine and natural disasters more than once. Updates are released by novel⚑fire.net

The change in his mindset would be even more intense, intense enough to turn the world upside down.

Therefore, it can also be said that his background and experiences after coming to this world together forged his innate ability.

Yu Ziqing even thought that the appearance of the hungry ghost might have a direct connection with his innate ability.

But to study the nature of this external thing, with his current abilities, he was still somewhat lacking.

This grand topic can wait, with a title for now, to be explored slowly in the future.

For now, Yu Ziqing didn't want to recklessly delve deeper without enough preparation.

If he continued recklessly without sufficient preparation, and lost control, the disaster caused might be more terrifying than the Alien Fire disaster of Dadui back then.

Just as Zhang advised him, and as he advised Zhang, to proceed slowly and cautiously.

So, Yu Ziqing ended his days of freeloading and returned to the palace city. Zhang had already organized the records Yu Ziqing needed regarding the rituals.

Yu Ziqing quietly read the books. Indeed, the records about rituals in Dadui were more detailed than what Yang understood.

Not much of this was preserved, most had been lost, or discarded by the times.

The ritual secret techniques, ritual Dharma Methods, were actually the most complete part of Dadui, and were related to the Divine Dynasty.

The officials of the Divine Dynasty, under the system, the power from promotion, the Magical Treasure obtained from the Divine Dynasty, such as the Big Seal, were actually related to the rituals.

And Zhang, persistently wanting Yu Ziqing to supplement the enthronement ceremony, aside from the purely ceremonial parts, the most crucial part is that this is also a kind of ritual, and a very powerful one at that.

The Dharma Method of Sacrifice to Heaven can also be classified under ritual.

But that was it, as related to Cultivation, or fighting, there was basically nothing.

Even in the current era of Dadui, most of it had already been discarded, not to mention in the later times.

Yu Ziqing became interested, the existence of the Divine Dynasty power, this foundational power independent of Spiritual Energy, was directly related to rituals.

And in the records, except for very few directly combat-oriented rituals, most of the ritual records were quite magical.

In Yu Ziqing's view, absorbing Spiritual Energy, converting True Yuan, then consuming True Yuan to release some Dharma Method.

Even using one's own power to leverage the Heaven and Earth Power can be considered normal.

It belongs to a well-trodden path, with logical reasoning, a legitimate Immortal Cultivation power system.

Yu Ziqing found it very easy to accept.

But rituals, they defied logic somewhat, with a sense of my personal interpretation.

Like a recorded ritual called Great Bright Eye Opening.

Using rare and peculiar offerings, combined with one's Heart Blood to create symbols, supplemented with a type of Spiritual Incense made with Moon Wolf Tail Bone, setting up a magic platform, and conducting the ceremony under a full moon.

It can open a third eye for someone born blind or without eyes.

Not only could it be used like normal eyes, but it also had some special abilities.

Later, a normal cultivator used this ritual to open a third eye for himself.

Unfortunately, only one person managed to create a double pupil in one eye, the rest were all blinded.

Not only were their physical eyes blind, but even their Divine Souls were blind.

Though no spells were recorded, the complete ritual was recorded, with particularly good effects.

However, the entire process, the power within, was not targeted at all.

Like a very ancient sacrifice, offering to a deity, and the deity bestowing a favor.

Now, the cultivators lacked this process involving intermediaries.

Yu Ziqing, reading a large number of records, reflected on the only ritual he fully mastered.

The Almsgiving Ceremony for the hungry ghost required sweet rain, needed a spell, a seal, a magic platform, and a complete ritual.

The most crucial thing was the cooperation of the hungry ghost.

It was simple, yet it could forcibly and completely expel the Devil Thought and Heart Demon from a cultivator's body.

The more he now understood, the more Yu Ziqing wondered what kind of power was responsible for these actions?

Yu Ziqing wanted to ask Lou Huai, but Lou Huai was regarded as an incarnation.

Hmm, better go find someone completely in Devilic, whose Heart Demon is not so crazy, to observe, then have the Heart Demon cooperate a bit in the research.

If it doesn't work out, then Lou Huai would have to be inconvenienced to cooperate a bit.

After reviewing numerous classics, Yu Ziqing increasingly felt that the original source of rituals might be related to sacrificial deities, but it wasn't necessarily a requirement to have intermediaries.
