Cultivation through Skin Making

Boom!

She once again attacked Song Yan’s True Domain heavily, like a boulder splashing into the water, creating ripples, yet… that was all.

The Moon Shadow Fairy realized it was useless, then stood still once more, an invisible river reappearing, and a new Moon Shadow Fairy appeared two feet away from her.

The three merged into one!

The Moon Shadow Fairy continued to grow stronger.

Quickly growing stronger.

Seeing her rate of strengthening seemingly endless, Song Yan did not wait any longer, his palm suddenly moving forward to grab.

The Moon Shadow Fairy twisted away like a snake.

The True Domain of Song Yan expanded abruptly, enveloping all areas ahead, naturally including the agile-turning Moon Shadow Fairy, as if a spider casting a web, suddenly retrieving, and grabbing.

The True Domain crushed, the Moon Shadow Fairy’s body began to crack, followed by an explosion, turning into a mass of flesh and blood…

The Moon Shadow Fairy, dead.

Song Yan held her corpse, starting to explore using Heaven-Reaching Wisdom.

Soon, he had an answer.

‘Is it the Mad Marquis?’

Initially, Song Yan thought “Mad Marshal, Mad General, Mad Marquis, Mad Emperor” represented the Profound Yellow Four Realms, Fifth Realm, Sixth Realm, Seventh Realm, but now it seemed not.

After a brief consideration, Song Yan murmured to himself: ‘That’s right, the Profound Yellow Four Realms is the extreme of greatness, followed by seeking the extreme of smallness, turning into a mortal.

If the Mad Emperor, Mad Marquis were mortals, they would have died on this land in no time.

So, they should all be in the Profound Yellow Four Realms.

Except… the Mad Saint is above the Seventh Realm, having surpassed the Profound Yellow Realm.’

‘Ha, the span is really big.’

Once his thoughts settled, Song Yan stepped forward to the Moon Shadow Palace.

After taking only a few steps, he suddenly saw a Mad Immortal darting toward him, its upper body bare, lower half clad in decaying Immortal Armor.

Immediately…

Mad Immortal, dead.

Song Yan explored it.

Again, it was indeed a Mad Marquis.

He scanned the appearance of this Mad Marquis, then looked at the Moon Shadow Fairy whom he had killed earlier, furrowing his brows slightly, thought darkly: ‘Even in the Purple Cloud Heaven, there are secret lovers, this pair clearly seemed like an adulterous couple, but shortly after their intimacy, disaster struck… This indicates that this calamity sweeping through the Purple Cloud Heaven came without warning, what could be the reason?’

Song Yan continued stepping inside.

Interestingly, he did not meet another Mad Marshal or Mad General all the way.

Clearly, when the Moon Shadow Fairy and that man secretly indulged in love, they sent everyone else away.

Just as he was pondering, suddenly from afar within the shadows, a Mad Immortal emerged, clad in tattered purple-scale Immortal Armor, darting out like light.

And Song Yan remembered that earlier no one was here.

Then he squinted his eyes again.

Because he found this Mad Immortal was identical to the one he had just killed, but their powers were entirely different.

Immediately…

Mad Immortal, dead again!

…

…

A moment later…

Song Yan appeared before a jade stele.

Though the jade stele had no words, at the instant Song Yan saw it, numerous pieces of information poured forth.

“Three Lifetimes Body”

“All calamities of three lifetimes, within a thought I enter, be cautious.”

The mysteriously profound information emerged.

Song Yan put away the jade stele, without leaving, sat cross-legged in the Moon Shadow Palace, seriously examining this technique, after all… This seemed to be a complete Chaos Technique.

He also did not know why he could so easily obtain a complete Chaos Technique, perhaps it was a gift brought by the “secret lover” to their beloved?

Or perhaps such chaos techniques are common in the Purple Cloud Heaven, or maybe the Moon Shadow Palace holds a special status? Does the Moon Shadow Fairy have a powerful father?

These secrets can no longer be known.

Song Yan focused on the jade stele, murmur in his mind: ‘Devote life essence, with this technique as the goal, proceed with enlightenment.’

A moment later, he opened his eyes.

Enlightenment was just the initial understanding.

Now, he understood.

“Three Lifetimes Body” is a terrifying cultivation technique, it expansively extends “greatness” from a certain aspect to the extreme.

The first part of “Three Lifetimes Body” is merely a “Divination Technique,” yet the divination is rather mystical. While other divinations are “calculating others not oneself,” the divination of “Three Lifetimes Body” is “calculating oneself not others.”

From the middle part of “Three Lifetimes Body” onwards, it transforms into terrifying combat strength, simply put, it means “borrowing the power of your future self.”

In the long river of time, one foot equals a thousand years.

If you dare borrow, then borrowing a hundred thousand years is also possible.

But no one dares to borrow.

Why?

Because the future self you borrowed must be your own future.

If you borrow a stronger self, a thousand years later, you must become that self otherwise… death and dao vanish, divine soul obliterated, completely erased.

If you borrow a self as strong as now, a thousand years later, you cannot grow stronger, nor weaker, cannot be injured, must remain identical to the self you borrowed, otherwise… erased.

As for the last part of “Three Lifetimes Body,” it is “borrowing the power of your past self.”

This technique can illuminate the previous life, if there was one.

Of course, this is not random borrowing either.

Why?

Because the past self you borrowed must be returned unscathed.

If your past self suffered even a small wound, then… you will be completely erased.

Evidently, “Three Lifetimes Body” is a powerful cultivation technique indeed, yet it also comes with terrifying backlash.

Looking at the jade stele, Song Yan mused: ‘It seems that the Mad Marquis has cultivated the chaos technique to the middle part… so, the Mad Emperor is someone who has completely mastered the chaos technique?’

‘Then, do I practice this technique?’

…

…

The existence of the Remaining Life Dao Fruit allows Song Yan to cultivate rapidly, enabling him to quickly master a cultivation technique that others would need millions or even billions of years to accomplish.
