Chapter 934 The Secret Technique, Ao Peng's Breakthrough Calculated by Fang Yi
"boom!"
From the depths of Changqing Mansion, crimson and white flames soared into the sky, obscuring the azure magical barriers that rippled in layers.
"Crack!"
Runes flowed across the barrier, and in an instant, a barely visible crack appeared. The crack continued to expand, growing to three feet wide in just three breaths.
Outside the quiet room.
"Delicious~"
Slurp!
Wild energy converged, causing the Earth-based gourd to rise and fall, constantly absorbing and releasing spiritual light to nourish the treasure.
A cute, silvery-white little beast lies sprawled on the soft clouds, contentedly munching on sea buckthorn berries.
"Ok?"
As the heatwave hit, Seven Precepts' expression changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to spit out the Earth Treasure Gourd.
"How could Xu Lao Er's breakthrough cause such a huge commotion?!"
"Boom!"
Ignoring the sea buckthorn fruit in her hand, her demonic power surged, and her silver-white fur stood on end.
"Whoosh!"
Yellow sand flew everywhere, and fist-sized spiritual sand was constantly spewed out, piling up into mountains.
The hazy, earthy spiritual energy spread, outlining array patterns, transforming into a mountain phantom that pressed down, forming an earthy spirit-sealing array.
The red and white flames were suppressed.
"call!
"Finally suppressed! This was the master's hidden trump card in his scheme against the Zoroastrians."
The silver-white beast breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the scattered sea buckthorn fruits from the large blue stone, and stuffed them into its mouth.
"boom!"
The illusory image of the mountains, gleaming with a brownish luster, collapsed.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the suppressed crimson and white flames surged forth, shattering the Earth-Sealing Spirit Array with overwhelming force.
"Oops!"
Qi Jie disregarded everything else and urged the Earth Treasure Gourd to smash down.
"Boom!"
A phantom image of a furnace appeared amidst the crimson and white flames, but its overflowing energy was so powerful that even the Earth-based gourd could not suppress it.
In an instant, it charged toward the outermost Azure Lotus Domain.
The crimson and white flames were about to leak out.
This is a huge problem!
With the addition of a Great Master in the cave, the Fire Worship Cult and the Ao family will surely be on guard.
The subsequent calculations to manage both sides will be many times more difficult.
Qi Jie looked helpless. She had already used all her strength, but she couldn't do anything about the leaking energy.
"What is the foundation of Xu Lao Er's cultivation technique? His aura was suppressed by someone with the same strength as a Grand Master."
"It is a legendary legacy."
The Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner descended from the sky, its delicate surface fluttering in the wind, with five colors of Daoist energy—blue, black, white, red, and yellow—flowing and evolving the power of the grotto-heaven.
"Oh!"
As the power of the cave collided with the crimson and white flames, Fang Yi frowned and his tall body trembled.
A massive, scorching force, like the backlash of the blazing sun, surged forth, and the Void Realm Withering Banner was unable to suppress the aura leaking from Xu Qingshe.
"Is this the legendary cultivation technique that allows one to break through to the Great True Person realm?"
Fang Yi extended his long, slender fingers, which swirled with a dim, yellowish spiritual light, manifesting Daoist images.
Spring brings forth all things, summer brings scorching heat, autumn brings bountiful harvests, and three lingering melodies emerge.
Until the chill of winter sets in, the essence of winter barely takes shape.
"Buzz!"
The power of the banners of decay and prosperity in the ruins has greatly increased, and the phenomena of the Dao have evolved with the changing seasons.
As if stimulated by the changing seasons, the red and white flames subsided and solidified, casting a magnificent furnace.
"boom!"
The illusory image of the furnace of heaven and earth trembled, forcing the Dao images of the four seasons to retreat.
"The inherent deficiencies in the Daoist essence of winter dormancy cannot be compensated for even after several years."
Fang Yi extended his five fingers with distinct knuckles, pressed down lightly, and was about to make a move.
"Boom!"
Forced back, the Daoist principles of the four seasons spontaneously resonated, and the four colors of precious light—blue, red, yellow, and white—entwined, transforming into a rotating wheel that subtly sublimated the Daoist principles of birth and death.
"The Yin-Yang Wheel?"
His expression was strange as he gazed at the four-colored wheel, which vaguely evolved into the Yin-Yang Wheel, one of the Three Treasures of Life and Death.
"Buzz!"
The four-colored wheel spins, representing the cycle of spring's birth, summer's growth, autumn's harvest, and winter's storage. The changing seasons pass by in a flash, repeating endlessly.
The magnificent furnace of heaven and earth remained unattended, as wisps of crimson and white flames were drawn out like thin threads.
Until fifteen minutes later.
"Pfft~" The last wisp of crimson and white flame was extracted, and the phantom of the furnace of heaven and earth dissipated.
"Crimson flames blaze across the sky, the blazing sun shines fiercely!"
A legendary-grade cultivation technique, upon reaching the Great True Person realm, can actually evolve into the rudimentary form of a Nascent Soul Dao Image.
Fang Yi waved his hand to summon back the Void Realm's Withering and Flourishing Banner, murmuring softly, his eyes filled with longing.
"I wonder what kind of Dao phenomena the [Scripture of Life, Death and Prosperity] can manifest when one enters the realm of a Great True Person?"
Is it a further step in the cycle of the four seasons, or the emergence of the principles of life and death, prosperity and decline, and yin and yang?
He glanced at the Ao family's Ziyuan Courtyard across the street and murmured to himself.
The methods for winter storage need to be improved and perfected as soon as possible.
Huitong City has no shortage of spiritual items related to the Dao of Ice, Cold, and Freezing, as long as there are enough spirit stones.
This is sufficient to enhance and perfect the weak winter-dormant Daoist rhythm, bringing it on par with the spring, summer, and autumn Daoist rhythms, and perfectly evolving the changing seasons.
Half an hour later.
"Boom!"
The quiet room was soundproofed, its energy contained, and its spirit sealed. Numerous magical restrictions were gathered into the stone walls, and as the ground trembled, the heavy stone door slowly rose.
"laugh!"
A surge of intense, fiery spiritual energy burst forth from the deep, quiet room.
Xu Qing, with a crimson jade crown on his snake head, a tall and straight figure, and a black flame robe, resembled a king in fire as he slowly stepped out.
Seven Precepts' silver-white hair bristled instantly as he stared incredulously at the cultivator who stepped out of the quiet room.
"In just one month, Xu Lao Er has made such progress!"
Could it be that, like Old Monster Fang, he's hoarding everything for himself?
Her eyes were filled with confusion as she shook her head violently from side to side.
"wrong!
wrong!
Before Xu Lao Er went into seclusion, he was roughly equal to me; even if I wasn't his match, the difference was only a few points.
His aura after this breakthrough seems capable of easily taking my life?!
"Great achievements come from small beginnings."
Fang Yi reached out and pinched the scruff of Qi Jie's neck, pulling the adorable little beast into his arms and stroking its glossy fur with pleasure.
Feeling the pleasant sensation in his palm, he explained in a low voice.
"The history of the cultivation world is long and ancient, spanning the ancient, medieval, and recent periods. The recorded history of the thirteen states of the human realm is over several hundred thousand years."
Many powerful beings have broken through human limits and ascended to immortality.
The cultivation techniques left behind by these ascended powerful beings are legendary techniques, the most elite inheritances in the human realm.
"A legendary cultivation technique?" Seven Rings looked curious and muttered, "Is this related to a legendary cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage?"
"That's true." Xu Qingshe, her robes fluttering, strode over to Fang Yi, expertly scooping up a small, silvery-white beast and ruffling its fur.
"Great masters throughout history have left behind exquisite techniques and detailed records of the dangers on the path of cultivation."
Only when a cultivator has used this technique to condense their Nascent Soul or even break through the limits of the Nascent Soul stage can it be called a legendary technique.
The cultivation method I practice comes from the ancient Ten Extraordinary People, Half-Body Daoist, and was later completed by Yan Zu.
The furnace ignites the central flame, and through a hundred refinements, the ancestral fire is forged; this is the "Heaven and Earth Furnace Method!"
"He was that exceptionally talented Daoist who left behind a legacy in countless places, yet nine out of ten of those legacy attempts were left unfinished—a half-baked Daoist."
Qi Jie purred contentedly as he was being stroked, and subconsciously spoke up. "The [Two-Nine Mystic Technique] that Huo boy cultivates was left behind by this wicked half-Taoist."
However, the master has completed it, deduced it to the third level, taking the meaning of the Heavenly Evolution of 49 and the Man's Escape of 1, and named it the [49 Mysterious Technique].
Is this also a legendary martial arts technique?
"That's not the case."
Fang Yi shook his head slightly. Compared to techniques like the [Heaven and Earth Furnace Method], the [Life and Death Scripture], and the [Celestial and Human Transformation Great Method], which had given birth to countless powerful figures, this was...
The Four-Nine Mysterious Techniques have only just begun their journey.
He explained, "If I can attain the Divine Transformation Dao Fruit using the Four-Nine Mysterious Technique, then successors in the Dao lineage will be able to advance using this technique."
Only the Forty-Nine Mysterious Techniques can be called a legendary martial art.
"Nascent Soul stage?" Seven Rings' dark eyes showed a hint of confusion. "That's incredibly far away."
Xu Qingshe gazed meaningfully at the composed and imposing young man beside him.
"The Four-Nine Mysterious Technique in body refinement isn't exactly a legendary technique, but Senior Brother's Qi Refining inheritance is of a very high grade."
Fang Yi smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying.
Things are accomplished in secrecy, and ruined by being revealed.
The "Scripture of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing" concerns his foundation and is related to the Azure Emperor Palace of the Ten Ancient Sects, making it extremely important.
Whether Xu Qingshe guessed it or not, he would not reveal the answer.
Just like the remnant soul of the nascent soul within the bronze ring, it involves the very essence of a cultivator; even with absolute certainty, he wouldn't reveal the truth.
Fang Yi straightened his clothes, smoothed out a wrinkle in his robe, bowed respectfully, and solemnly said:
"Junior Brother He Qingshe has made further progress and entered the realm of Great True Man."
From this point on, the path to enlightenment is long and winding, and the prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul stage is within reach!
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother Chengfang." Xu Qingshe bowed in return and murmured softly.
"The path to Nascent Soul is incredibly difficult; I wonder if I have the good fortune to reach this level."
He sighed softly, exhaling a breath of turbid air. His cultivation improved even further, and he came to understand the preciousness of the Nascent Soul Dao.
"In the barren land of Dayun, where spiritual resources are scarce and spiritual veins are weak, the Crimson Eyebrow Ancestor was able to break through the elixir and form a Nascent Soul."
Admirable! Awe-inspiring!
How terrifying! How frightening!
After a short while, Xu Qingshe calmed her agitated mind and looked at Fang Yi.
His consciousness flowed, and he murmured to himself.
'As expected, Elder Chen was right, even if I break through to the Great True Person realm.'
I also cannot see into Senior Brother Fang's background.
"That's natural." The bronze ring on his index finger gleamed with an ancient and spiritual light, and "Old Chen's" dry voice rang out.
If I am not mistaken, Fang Yi is cultivating a legendary technique, one of the very few in the Wood Dao lineage.
[Qingdi Muhuangdao]?
The Sutra of Life, Death, Prosperity, and Demise?
[Jumang's Book of Five Grains]?
'The shamanic patterns flowing in your Xuan Yang Mountain Ancestral Hall, the ancient and rustic Daoist charm of blood sacrifice, though you tried your best to conceal them, could not hide them from me.'
Fang Yi's cultivation lineage is either the "Gumang Five Grains Book" of the shamanistic tradition or the "Scripture of Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing" left behind by the Azure Emperor's Palace.
Old Chen's eyes were filled with resentment as he murmured softly.
Regardless of the lineage, all can condense the [Wood Life] Golden Elixir, granting a lifespan of six hundred years.
Fang Yi still has nearly four hundred years of lifespan remaining, and the Wood element is most adept at nurturing the physical body, making him arguably the most outstanding longevity cultivator.
Young Master Xu, if you cannot condense an infant and break through to the Nascent Soul realm, you will decline from your peak at the age of 450 until you die of old age.
And Fang Yi?
As if recalling an old friend as familiar as the Black Tortoise, 'Old Chen' said quietly.
'Tsk, who knows, you might die young, your grave overgrown with weeds, while Fang Yi is still at his peak.'
Xu Qingshe did not refute it. Based on his understanding of Fang Yi, even if 'Old Chen's' speculation was not 100% true, it was at least 90% true.
but.
What does it have to do with me?!
Senior Brother Fang Yi is steady and methodical, while I am courageous and diligent. Our paths are different, our experiences are different, and our choices are different.
The results were also different.
The path to immortality is long and arduous; I only need one path.
Xu Qingshe's gaze fell on Fang Yi, and a sunny smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Senior brother, when will we take action against the Ao family?"
No rush.
A glint flashed in Fang Yi's eyes, and a pearl the size of a thumb slipped out of his sleeve.
Azure magical power lifted the pearl, and faint purple flames could be seen flickering within it.
"This is a primordial energy that I secretly extracted from the dantian of Ao Peng, the head of the Ao family."
Are you familiar with Junior Brother Xu?
"Um!
This is?"
Xu Qingshe's expression changed slightly as he probed the pearl with his divine sense, carefully sensing the purple flame energy.
After a few breaths,
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"It seems to be true but is not, and its quality is not low, almost reaching the level of a high-grade third-order treasure flame."
This purple flame Daoist rhythm should be related to the [Heaven and Earth Furnace Method], and should be derived from the incomplete chapters of the Heaven and Earth Furnace Method, or it may have originally been a separate, unorthodox path.
"If I could refine this true fire, it would greatly benefit me."
"Is this a fragmented deduction, or perhaps a completely different approach?"
Fang Yi nodded slightly, confirming his suspicions.
Legendary cultivation techniques are difficult to master, and many powerful individuals have found alternative paths. For example, the Xuan Yang Book practiced by Chi Meizi originated from the Great Law of Heavenly Manifestation.
It does not follow the principles of Yin and Yang, but instead practices the method of the rising sun.
His mind raced, and a plan came to him.
"Junior Brother Xu, don't be anxious. Your most important task now is to consolidate your Great True Person realm."
When the time is right, it will be our turn to act.
Junior brother may not know, but this great cold wave across the vast icy plains is the beginning of the advancement of fourth-order spiritual veins, and there will surely be spiritual caves that nurture fourth-order spiritual creatures.”
"A fourth-tier spiritual item?!" Xu Qingshe confirmed.
"Yes, it's a fourth-tier spiritual item," Fang Yi confirmed.
"Furthermore, to avoid the collapse of the spiritual veins due to the conflict of Daoist principles, the Nascent Soul True Monarch cannot intervene."
"What a tremendous opportunity!" Xu Qing's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
Having reached his level, he was confident that he could rival other Great Masters of the same realm.
Even if a top-tier old monster at the peak of Core Formation were to make a move, he could be defeated, but his life could not be harmed.
However, the Nascent Soul True Monarch is different from the Core Formation Great True Man.
The True Lord's Daoist temple connects heaven and earth, seeking both the inner and the outer; a single strike is enough to kill a True Person who has reached the peak of Core Formation.
If a Nascent Soul True Monarch intervenes, even the most fortuitous opportunity will be irrelevant to a Core Formation True Person.
"Senior brother, I am currently in seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. When the time comes to make my move, do not forget me."
A gentle breeze ruffled a strand of his black hair as Fang Yi, with graceful movements, spoke softly.
"Junior brother, rest assured, the opportunities within this icy plain are more than enough to satisfy both of us."
one year later.
Ziyuan Temple.
Outside the quiet room, a babbling brook meanders around, occasionally a golden koi carp leaps up, creating shimmering waves.
Inside the stone pavilion, Ao Xun's skin was sallow and covered with age spots.
He leaned on the wooden monster, his body hunched over, occasionally glancing at the suppressed, intense heat emanating from the quiet room.
"boom!"
A burning gaze soared into the sky as he gripped the landscape screen with his withered fingers.
The screen unfolded, releasing magical power; the illusory images of mountains and rivers stretched out, concealing the aura.
"The clan leader has finally broken through!"
In the quiet room, a lotus palace lantern hangs high, its fiery energy flowing and transforming into rolling, fiery clouds.
"boom!"
Ao Peng's robes fluttered in the wind, and a vertical line appeared between his brows.
"Finally, this step has been taken."
He murmured softly, revealing his mastery of the seventh level of the Core Formation Realm.
"Uncle Xun, please go and inform Old Monster Zheng, Red Bone, and Devouring Spirit that the time is ripe to make our move."
"You have seized my Ao family's ancestral land. I will make Fang Yi pay a bloody price."
