Chapter 148: Arts are Mere Tools
The Dao of Slaughter encompassed all things, containing within it countless paths.
Qin Sang had no idea what the correct method was for cultivating the Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment. In fact, it was possible that every cultivator’s approach differed.
When Senior Qingzhu cultivated this art, in order to comprehend the killing symbol, he might have devoted himself entirely to the Dao of Slaughter, indiscriminately killing men, women, elders, children, cultivators, or mortals alike, ultimately falling into the demonic path. He might have deliberately ventured into dangerous places, risking his life to overcome his inner fears, slaying others as well as himself. Or perhaps he wandered the world with just his sword, only seeking clarity of mind. It could even have been a case of using slaughter to stop slaughter...
But this was definitely not Qin Sang's path.
Without the Jade Buddha protecting his primordial spirit and preventing the encroachment of murderous intent, meditating on the killing symbol during battle could result in his mind being overtaken by killing intent. Losing rational thought, unable to calmly analyze the situation, he would be consumed with nothing but killing, placing himself in extremely dangerous circumstances.
Qin Sang had deliberated for a long time before deciding to give this method a try.
If it proved effective, then undoubtedly, this path would be the most suitable for him.
In his view, the Primordial Spirit Sword Nourishment was merely a tool to aid in the improvement of his cultivation. With Senior Qingzhu’s example before him, even his mediocre talent could see a glimmer of hope in reaching the Core Formation Realm. That was why he had chosen this art, not out of yearning for the Dao of Slaughter, nor did he feel much attachment to it.
The obsession in his heart was solely for immortality.
