Chapter 482: Chapter 217: The Six Great

Such methods were truly astounding.

"The Path of Non-Birth believes that ’all spirits return to the void, for non-birth is eternal.’ The Root and Leaf Skills they cultivate follow the path of Divine Sense, much like our Celestial Martial Lineage. The Seven Dust Demon Venerables each have their own specialty, capable of stirring the seven emotions in the human heart: joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock. Huoxin specializes in provoking anger."

"These Demon Venerables employ treacherous and insidious methods. They often plant the seeds of a Heart Demon without a sound, waiting for the right moment to activate them. Many promising disciples of the righteous path have fallen to them, either driven to madness and self-destruction or corrupted into the demonic path... This is also why the Path of Non-Birth, despite having no Seventh Realm expert presiding over it, can be ranked alongside the Blood Luo and Filth Land as one of the Three Great Yu Sects."

Fan Zhengchu paused and looked at Qin Fang seriously. "You’ve had an encounter with Huoxin, so you must be vigilant. Since he is known as ’Huoxin,’ his power can seep in through any crack... In the coming days, pay close attention to your own heart. If you feel any inexplicable agitation, a surge of killing intent, or a sudden extreme aversion to things you used to find ordinary, you must report it to your elders immediately. You cannot be careless."

Qin Fang was startled. "I was quite far away at the time. It shouldn’t... be that serious, right?"

"It’s better to be safe than sorry."

Fan Zhengchu said grimly, "The Path of Non-Birth’s Leaf Skills are treacherous and cannot be judged by conventional logic."

Qin Fang said no more, bowing slightly. "Yes, this disciple understands."

Seeing the exhaustion on Qin Fang’s face, Fan Zhengchu didn’t bring up the battlefield again, instead starting some casual conversation.

Since they were waiting for his Master to return anyway, a thought struck Qin Fang and he asked, "Martial Uncle, what exactly are our Sect’s Six Great Supremes Inheritances?"

Fan Zhengchu hadn’t expected Qin Fang to suddenly ask such a question. He froze for a moment before replying, "You’ve been in the Sect for over four years, and you’ve never asked about this?"

Qin Fang felt awkward... He really hadn’t.

’After all, in my mind, a Supreme Inheritance isn’t something you can just casually come into contact with.’

Besides, he spent all his time thinking about cultivation and never considered looking into this kind of information.

"A typical Inner Sect Disciple’s first order of business after joining the Sect is probably to ask about the Supreme Inheritances... I didn’t expect a First Hall True Inheritance like you to be completely uninterested."

Fan Zhengchu was left speechless.

Qin Fang: "..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "These Six Great Supremes Inheritances represent powerful Leaf Skills that embody six ultimate paths."

"They are: the Nine Hell Lineage’s ’Divine Demon Hell-Suppression Body,’ the Wuhui Lineage’s ’Cause-Cutting Boundary-Breaking Sword,’ the Jinghong Lineage’s ’Timeless Instant,’ the Luzhan’s ’Eight Desolates Godslayer,’ the Celestial Martial Lineage’s ’Nine Tribulations God Refining Chapter’... and my Guiyuan Lineage’s ’Circulation Returning Essence.’"

Fan Zhengchu introduced them simply.

"The Divine Demon Hell-Suppression Technique—it forges a body like that of an ancient divine demon, with strength to suppress the Nine Netherworld and fists that can shatter the Earth Veins."

"The Cause-Cutting Boundary-Breaking Sword—once the sword is drawn, there is no return. It severs cause and effect and breaks through boundaries, leaving behind only absolute Sharpness."

"The Timeless Instant—one walks through time itself, their body becoming a fleeting specter. Close But Far Away, they are untouched by all techniques."

"The Eight Desolates Godslayer—battle intent burns across the eight desolates, killing intent slays gods and demons. Temper the Dao with blood, and nourish the soul with battle."

"The Circulation Origin Scripture—absorb the qi of the heavens, as all streams return to their source. Achieve True Essence Without Leakage, and creation will turn on its own."

"The Nine Tribulations God Refining Chapter—the spirit endures Nine Tribulations, while One Thought Remains Unextinguished. The mind becomes a blade, rendering one Immune to All Laws."

He reeled them off as if listing his own family heirlooms, even giving a simple introduction to the characteristics of the Six Great Supremes Inheritances.

Qin Fang committed them to memory, then thought for a moment before asking, "Since they’re all Leaf Skills, does that mean they’re unrelated to one’s Root Skill? And since they’re divided among the six lineages, does that mean... no one cultivates all of them?"

"Although they are just Leaf Skills, unrelated to one’s Root Skill, they are all Leaf Skills that can only be studied by those at the Fifth Realm or higher... To cultivate them to their peak, they must be related to one’s Nature. For example, if you cultivate the Kunyuan Nature, you’re naturally incompatible with the Spiritual and Jinghong styles. If you cultivate the Cyan Wood Nature, you’re naturally incompatible with Unparalleled Sharpness... The Nature and the Leaf Skill must be compatible."

"So, mastering all of them is impossible... These six inheritances were not passed down by a single person, but by six different ancestors... who founded the original six lineages."

Fan Zhengchu was quite calm hearing Qin Fang’s question... Clearly, he wasn’t the first disciple to have had such doubts.

"However, there have been people in history who cultivated two or even three of the great inheritances. Take your Master, for example... he cultivated two of the Six Greats. He mastered the arts of the Nine Hell and my Guiyuan Lineage. This is because his Kunyuan Nature is naturally compatible with both lineages."

Qin Fang’s face filled with astonishment upon hearing this.

"Master... actually cultivated two Supreme Inheritances? Is... is that allowed?"

Fan Zhengchu roared with laughter. "Belonging to a certain lineage only represents your status Within the Sect. But at the end of the day, aren’t you also a disciple of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect?"

"Why does a Sect exist? Is it not to grow stronger, to shelter its disciples? Conversely, if the disciples become strong, can they not also better protect the Sect?"

"So, forget about two lineages... If there were truly a once-in-a-generation genius who wanted to cultivate all six, the Sect would only be overjoyed. It would never stop them!"

"Why would we stop them? Weren’t the inheritances left behind for future generations to learn and glorify?"

Hearing this, Qin Fang was a little stunned...

...’The Six Great Inheritances... and here I thought everyone could choose one to study, at most.’

’I never imagined... they were completely open?’

’You can learn any inheritance you want?!’

...Even someone like Qin Fang was shocked by the sheer spirit and magnanimity of his own Sect.

...Although he had never joined another sect, he was sure that other sects would guard ultimate techniques like these as if they were priceless treasures, right?

’Even if their own disciples learned one, they would absolutely be forbidden from ever touching a second one.’

’Where else could you find a place that lets you learn any of its six ultimate techniques as you please?’

"Of course, techniques cannot be taught lightly. It’s not to say that just anyone is qualified to learn them... After all, there are always those with great Talent but corrupt hearts. Letting such a person learn these techniques would not be a blessing for the Sect, but a disaster!"
