Once Upon A Time, There Was A Spirit Sword Mountain

The reason why Yunkongjun, at the end of his life, managed to live on for another millennium was that he cultivated this Nine Revolutions Undead Method. According to the text in the book, after experiencing each revolution, that person could shed his mortal body and exchange his bone. After a millennium of non-stop hard work, Yunkongjun managed to cultivate the method into the first four revolutions, and the vitality gained from his training was offset by his normal consumption. This allowed him to live for more than two thousand years.

For ordinary Yuanying Stage cultivators, their lifespan was at most six hundred to seven hundred years. Thus, by having a millennium of lifespan, Yunkongjun could be considered as having half a step into the rank of Deity Stage, in addition to its own longevity. Usually, it was also normal for a Deity Stage to become a Supreme of Unity Stage in two thousand years. Presently, the longest-lived cultivator in Nine Regions, the South Pole Immortal, had around four thousand years of life span, which was loudly called out as inconceivable by many people, and also being strongly requested to be classified as a research object. However, Yunkongjunʼs aptitude was by no means excellent. With a not so qualified cultivation method, relying on the Nine Revolutions Undead Method, he could prolong his life by one time! And this was just the fourth revolution!

However, what if it were Wang Lu?

According to Wang Luʼs own planning, in the most conservative circumstances, in a hundred years, he should be able to advance to Deity Stage or even Unity Stage. Although compared to the success of Great Ancestor Desheng and Immortal Qin this was too slow, but after the end of the age of chaos, this was already very fast. According to his calculation, without considering extreme circumstances—such as using such a large amount of innate vitality without disregarding the price—he should be able to have more than three thousand and five hundred years of normal life. Although Non-Phase Method wasnʼt a method that was specialized in extending lifespan, because too many of its content demanded the usage of innate vitality, Wang Wu also made revisions to improve the method.

In this case, if he cultivated this Nine Revolutions Undead Method, he could at least finish the first seven revolutions, and when the time came, his lifespan could reach more than seven thousand years! And if Wang Lu reached Mahayana Stage and completed the entire revolutions, he would become one of the veritable big shots of history! And this big shots of history, within the historical data, also have their own individual name: Land of True Immortal!

It was just that there was no perfect thing in this world. Just as behind the invincible defense power of Non-Phase Method, the price was the great damage to the offensive power. The Nine Revolutions Undead Method could make the cultivators be reborn and increase their lifespan, but the price was that, along with being reborn, the cultivatorʼs personality would also be renewed.

In other words, a millennium after he died, Yunkongjunʼs temperament suffered a huge change. Not only because when advancing to Deity Stage, evil thoughts could not be removed, the real reason for this change was the cultivation of Nine Revolutions Undead Method. By setting up the stele before he died, Yunkongjun was, in fact, afraid that he would completely lose control after cultivating the Nine Revolutions Undead Method. Otherwise, for a peak Yuanying Stage Cultivator, there were too many ways to make himself vanish in a puff of smoke, why would he need to design a stele?

Yunkongjun was merely longing for immortality, thus knowing the risk, he still wanted to try it. Unfortunately, although he had made many arrangements, eventually, it all led to a tragedy. A great cultivator of the generation eventually ended up as an evil demon and died.

Wang Lu was, of course, interested in this method, but he did not intend to practice it immediately. The side effect was too strong. The lesson from what happened to Yunkongjun could not be ignored. Thus, rather than voluntarily taking this risk, he would rather hand this book to the Elders of Heavenly Sword Hall to be studied and experimented. It would be more cost effective if he just enjoyed the finished product.
