772 The Innate Deitys Cause of Death (1/2)
The so-called Primordial Spirits of Three Separations referred to three separated incarnations which had their own primordial spirit.
This skill divided all the knowledge one gathered in his whole life into four categories. One could then assign each of them to his three incarnations: primordial spirits as well as his own body respectively. Every incarnation or the primordial spirit it carried, would be used to develop a particular technique and focus on honing its skill. In this way, one man could possess a combat capability equivalent to the combined power of four men. Meanwhile, it would also improve one's martial phase. Hence, it was a very powerful Divine Sense.
In fact, the mighty sage who invented this skill did not only study the four categories of martial techniques. At first, he considered splitting his primordial spirit into more pieces. But during his practice, he reluctantly found that no matter how capable he was, the most he could create were three copies of his primordial spirit. And that was the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations.
However, that was not the end of it. The way of the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations could at most quadruple one's combat capability. But during his practice and researches, the mighty sage discovered a most amazing secret of the primordial spirit. At last, with this knowledge, he accomplished the Celestial Immortal's Way smoothly and even went a step further. This was the most valuable feature of the way of the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations.
The way was constituted by three parts. The first was the way to create the Second Primordial Spirit, which was similar to the evolvement of an incarnation that Zhou Bao had mastered. The difference was that this evolvement could enhance the ways practiced by the Second Primordial Spirit. It could accurately segmentize all the ways and Divine Senses of one's primordial spirits and nourish them carefully. This was the goal Zhou Bao wanted to achieve. He was seeking to divide his Second Primordial Spirit of the Dragon Chimera and let his incarnation of the Dragon Chimera practice the ways and Divine Senses of the Fire Way exclusively. Then, this incarnation of the Dragon Chimera might become the device spirit of the Furnace of Immortality. He also intended to create another primordial spirit to focus on practicing his swordsmanship. As for the Third Primordial Spirit, it was not something he would contemplate on right now.
Since the division of the Third Primordial Spirit was out of his reach, the second part and the third part of the way of Primordial Spirits of Three Separations were even more beyond his reach.
But Zhou Bao was not worried, because he had a lot of time to do it.
Instead of biting off more than he could chew, he decided to be practical and divide his primordial spirit in two parts instead.
His existing incarnation and its primordial spirit were already very pure. His Outer-body Incarnation was evolved from the Real Body of a Dragon Chimera, while his Second Primordial Spirit was developed from the Dark Female Pearl. Since Zhou Bao decided to pursue the purification of his power, he merged all his skills into his incarnation, but excluded his punching skill and fist intent. These enhanced the strength of this incarnation considerably. Now, its power was nearly on par with his own body. But due to all the mixed skills it carried, it had made little progress in recent years.
At present, what Zhou Bao needed was to create another Separated Po to form a pure Fire Way Primordial Spirit.
In this way, when the Fire Way Primordial Spirit came into being, an extra Outer-body Incarnation would be formed. This would contain all the ways and Divine Senses short of the Extreme Realm of Force, the crushing vacuum technique that his own body was practicing and also the skills that his Fire Way Primordial Spirit was working on. That meant this Outer-body Incarnation would master the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, the Infinite Trembling Contemplation, a part of the Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, a portion of the Innate Deity's bloodline and many other skills. This was the challenge Zhou Bao would face when his Fire Way Incarnation was completed. According to Ghost Child's advice, his second Outer-body Incarnation should be a sword incarnation, for he had practiced the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword since childhood. Due to the fact that this special technique had been passed down from primitive times or even more ancient times, its sword intent was extraordinary, not less than that of the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi. If Zhou Bao could infuse the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi with his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, he would be able to create an extremely impressive technique in swordsmanship. When he achieved that, his second Outer-body Incarnation would naturally become powerful. As for the third Outer-body Incarnation, given that the red gourd had no clue about it, Zhou Bao certainly would not bother to think about it now.
Practicing the Primordial Spirits of Three Separations was a highly demanding task. The difficulties were in the second and third part. The mighty sage in primitive times had developed the two parts by imitating the process of practicing the Outer-body Incarnation. In plain words, these two parts were just a refined version of the Outer-body Incarnation technique. Zhou Bao had grasped everything about this technique, so he found this refined version easy to master. Soon, he succeeded in producing his Fire Way Incarnation, which was still a ball of black flame. But when he tossed it into the Furnace of Immortality, an amazing phenomenon appeared.
The true form of this Furnace of Immortality was the head of an Innate Deity, but Zhou Bao did not know what the background of this Innate Deity was. When he obtained the body of this Innate Deity, he could not digest the information this Innate Deity passed to his mind. In fact, up to today, he still could not understand any of the information that had been transmitted to his Divine Awareness. He had sealed it in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.
However, this time when he had produced the Second Primordial Spirit of the Fire Way and put it into the Furnace of Immortality, a bizarre change occurred.
In the past, his Outer-body Incarnation bore a great resemblance to a device spirit. Although its power was immense, it was not very pure and could not infuse with the true form of the Furnace of Immortality, which was a fairy weapon. Thus, the Original Spirit of this fairy weapon could never be attached to his Outer-body Incarnation. Consequently, the Furnace of Immortality never had a chance to evolve into a Heavenly Fairy Weapon.
But this time, it was different. This pure Fire Way Primordial Spirit made from the Dragon Chimera was perfectly compatible with the properties of the Furnace of Immortality. However, with this compatibility, a problem occurred. Well, actually, it was not a problem, it was just an abnormal phenomena—the Fire Way Primordial Spirit and the Original Spirit of the Furnace of Immortality were attracted to each other instantly and suddenly combined into one.
To be more precise, Zhou Bao's Second Primordial Spirit swallowed the Original Spirit. Anyway, the Original Spirit of the Furnace of Immortality was still in its primitive phase. Even though it was devoured by Zhou Bao, the Furnace of Immortality did not feel a thing at all. But Zhou Bao sensed something strange.
