Profound Yang Nerve, 9th Level, Great Perfection

"Can I learn all of them?"

Fang Wang gave his choice, which made Zhou Xue's lips twitch slightly, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

That's insane!

Zhou Xue patiently explained, "Different cultivation methods will produce different spiritual energy. If you learn too many, it is easy for your spiritual energy to become chaotic. Moreover, it is easier to specialize in one method than to cultivate multiple methods."

Fang Wang, shameless as ever, asked, "If I choose one and can't learn it, can I choose another one?"

"Fine, you saved me, after all."

Zhou Xue couldn't help but chuckle softly, but the laughter aggravated her injuries, causing her to cough uncontrollably.

Fang Wang didn't dare to reach out and touch her, so he could only watch from the side.

"Which one do you want to learn first?" Zhou Xue asked, her voice even weaker after coughing.

Fang Wang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's try the most difficult Xuan Yang Shen Jing. Let's start with the most difficult one first, so that we can find it easier to cultivate other techniques later."

Without wasting any words, Zhou Xue began to explain the mental techniques and formulas of the Xuan Yang Nerve, which included the method of absorbing Qi.

Fang Wang listened attentively, his heart filled with anticipation. Only by mastering the cultivation techniques could he truly embark on the path of cultivation.

As Zhou Xue transmitted her skills, she looked at him, feeling quite emotional.

"I never thought I would treat someone like this. Is this what family is? Ruolan, you're right. Relying on others is useless. We must cultivate a trustworthy force. Perhaps it is fate that I was able to be reborn. Maybe it is the heavens guiding me onto another path."

Zhou Xue watched as Fang Wang, whom she had no recollection of from her previous life, listened attentively to her sermon, and truly felt reborn.

Now that she's been given a second chance at life, she's determined to do more than just become an immortal!

A myriad of thoughts arose in Zhou Xue's mind. The danger of the family's destruction had passed, and now she needed to plan a new life.

Fang Wang had no idea what she was thinking; he was currently focused on the Xuan Yang Nerve.

After Zhou Xue finished explaining all the mental techniques of the Xuan Yang Nerve, Fang Wang felt his mind explode and his vision blurred.

The next second, he appeared inside the Heavenly Palace. When he opened his eyes and saw his surroundings, he immediately clenched his fist and raised his arm to shout.

"It's done!"

Fang Wang was extremely excited. As long as he could enter the Heavenly Palace, it would mean that he was capable of mastering the Profound Yang Scripture!

Although the Heavenly Palace can only help him comprehend ultimate techniques, if he cultivates the Profound Yang Scripture to perfection and then practices Qi absorption, he will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This is a technique that Zhou Xue couldn't master even before her ascension!

Fang Wang sat down on the spot and immediately began cultivating the Xuan Yang Scripture.

The Xuan Yang Nerve has nine levels. When you reach the third level, your spiritual power contains Xuan Yang Fire, which can burn your soul. When you reach the sixth level, you are immune to all fires. When you reach the ninth level, you can condense Xuan Yang True Fire, which can burn everything!

Fang Wang began cultivating from the most basic Qi absorption method. Changes occurred within the Heavenly Palace, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth needed by cultivators appeared. This spiritual energy was illusory and was used to help him cultivate. The so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth was born from heaven and earth, nurturing all living things. However, there are many other kinds of Qi in heaven and earth. Cultivating immortality and absorbing Qi is the process of extracting spiritual energy of heaven and earth and tempering oneself.

However, it felt like ten years had passed just to cultivate the first level of the Profound Yang Nerve. It would take ten years to cultivate the first level.

Could it be that my aptitude for cultivating immortality is very poor?

Fang Wang refused to believe in superstition and continued his cultivation. In order to determine his cultivation time, he had a thought and a large bell appeared in the Heavenly Palace. It was like a modern product of Earth, but its surface looked ancient. The bottom of the bell also recorded the year for easy time recording.

However, the second level took twice as long as the first, so Fang Wang had to put aside his concerns about his own aptitude and focus on practicing.

And so, Fang Wang continued to cultivate the Xuan Yang Psychic, and gradually, his heart began to go numb, and he forgot everything outside.

It's like the long flow of time, the changing of the seasons.

When he cultivated the Profound Yang Scripture to its peak, flames suddenly ignited behind his head, condensing into fireballs like miniature suns, a ring of miniature suns hovering behind his head.

It was the True Fire of Xuan Yang.

The Xuan Yang True Fire looks similar to ordinary flames, but it can absorb sunlight. The longer it burns in the daytime, the more terrifying its power becomes.

Fang Wang opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a sense of weariness, not from the vicissitudes of life, but from the weariness of a weary heart.

He turned his head and realized that he had spent a total of 213 years cultivating the Profound Yang Psychic!

This is almost as long as the existence of a dynasty!

Fang Wang was depressed, which he could only attribute to the difficulty of the Xuan Yang nerve.

Well, instead of worrying about yourself, you should complain about your goals.

No wonder Zhou Xue couldn't master it before her ascension. Who would spend two hundred years cultivating a single technique?

Fang Wang composed himself, and with a thought, withdrew from the Heavenly Palace.

His eyes regained their clarity, and Zhou Xue's face appeared before him; she was lying on the bed, her face weak.

He lived through two hundred years, but in reality it was only a moment.

"This month, you should focus on cultivating the Xuan Yang Scripture. Once I recover from my injuries, we'll set off. The Taiyuan Sect recruits disciples only once every five years. If you miss this year, you'll have to wait another five years," Zhou Xue said softly, her eyes holding a strange look.

For some reason, after she finished explaining the Xuan Yang Jing Shen, she felt that Fang Wang had changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed. It was a very subtle feeling.

"You are a reborn immortal, why don't you establish your own sect?" Fang Wang asked, puzzled.

Zhou Xue smiled helplessly and said, "Cultivating immortality is not that simple. The blessed lands and various resources of the Great Qi have long been divided up by the nine major sects. Moreover, after my rebirth, I will have to walk the path of cultivation again and join a sect. In addition to obtaining cultivation resources, it is also to provide myself with protection."

Fang Wang nodded, noticing her increasingly pale face, and said, "Take good care of your injuries. We'll talk again once you're healed."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, the cultivator left behind two magical artifacts last night. He was killed by you, so they should rightfully belong to you. Once I recover, I will give you the artifacts and teach you how to master them, so that your starting point in cultivation will be higher than others," Zhou Xue said.

Fang Wang didn't turn around, but simply waved his hand and said, "Keep these. You guided me onto the path of cultivation, so consider these a token of my gratitude. You'll teach me some more spells later."

He didn't stop and quickly left the house.

After the door closed, Zhou Xue smiled and muttered to herself, "Taking him as a disciple is not bad. Oh well, since we're from the same clan, why be so fixated on titles?"

Reborn, she decides not only to cultivate immortality herself, but also to lead the Fang family in cultivation. The betrayal in her previous life made her realize that no matter how powerful one is, without a trustworthy force, one will still end up dead and vanish.

Putting aside the Fang family's kindness in raising her, the Fang family has a genius like Fang Wang, so it's worth her nurturing him.

Zhou Xue closed her eyes, taking advantage of her recovery time to sort out her thoughts.

She has realized that rebirth is not just about changing regrets; she can also embark on a path stronger than her previous life. Those missed opportunities in her memory can definitely be obtained if she plans carefully!

Furthermore, the matter of her rebirth must not be revealed again; this will be her biggest secret.

Before her rebirth, even in the Upper Realm, she had never heard of such a bizarre experience as hers. Putting herself in her shoes, she knew that if she truly believed that someone had been reborn, she would probably have some wicked thoughts.

……

After returning to his room, Fang Wang sat down at the table, activating his Xuan Yang Nerve to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Without any obstacles or need for adaptation, almost instantly, a vortex of energy formed around him, and invisible and colorless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged into his body, giving him a feeling of refreshment.

Cultivating in the Heavenly Palace also brings similar sensations, though they are far less intense than those experienced through the physical body.

He was so immersed in the exhilarating feeling brought about by Qi cultivation that he couldn't extricate himself.

The Xuan Yang Nerve, at the ninth level of perfection, is incredibly powerful. Fang Wang doesn't know how others progress in their cultivation, but he's feeling quite good right now, as Xuan Yang spiritual power has already condensed within his dantian.

An hour later, he successfully entered the first level of the Qi Nourishing Realm.

After a day and a night, he forcefully achieved the second level of the Qi Nourishing Realm.

In the days that followed, Fang Wang stayed at home and focused on absorbing Qi. At first, his parents would come to visit him, but when they heard that he was cultivating, they dared not disturb him anymore and only had a maid deliver his meals every day.

After the great battle that night, Fang Wang's status in the Fang family rose rapidly, and he became the pride of the entire Fang family. However, the matter of cultivating immortality did not spread. Fang Meng even ordered that the existence of the demonic path be forbidden, and only said that the Fang family had been attacked by a group of mysterious martial arts masters.

……

Inside a quiet study.

The Emperor of Qi sat in a chair, holding an ancient book in his hands. He looked to be only in his early twenties, very young.

An old minister walked in and bowed to the table.

"Your Majesty, the Nanqiu Plan has failed, and the immortal master I invited has also died," the old minister said softly. He was dressed in official robes, slightly overweight, with graying temples, and his expression did not change as he spoke these words.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Great Qi's right hand, which was holding the ancient book, trembled. He slowly put the book down, stared expressionlessly at the old minister, and said, "Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

The old minister sighed and said, "The fact that they were able to kill the Immortal Master shows that the Fang family also possesses such power, or that such power is protecting them. I did miscalculate. I thought everything was foolproof, but it's alright. I have already written to that person. He assured me beforehand that there would be no problems, so I suppose he will handle this matter himself."

The Emperor of Great Qi turned to look out the window, muttering to himself, "The power of cultivation, immortality... I have sacrificed so much to try and enter this realm, yet I have not succeeded. How did the Fang family obtain the support of this power?"

The old minister did not answer; he was also completely baffled. He didn't even dare to send anyone to investigate the Fang residence, for fear of alerting the enemy.

a long time.

The Emperor of Qi withdrew his gaze and stared directly at the old minister, saying, "Let's leave it at that for now. I know nothing about this matter. Let's keep things clean."

The old minister nodded.

The Emperor of Qi waved his sleeve, and the old minister immediately bowed and took his leave.

"Everyone says imperial power is good, but how can even the greatest imperial power compare to immortality?"

A faint sigh echoed from the study, filled with helplessness.

……

Fang Wang was in seclusion for half a month when news of the massacre of the Fang family spread throughout the Great Qi. People from all the states and counties were talking about it. The Fang family even sent people into the capital to plead their case, which made all the powerful families tremble with fear. After all, the Fang family was a Duke's mansion. What kind of power was so audacious?

This day.

Zhou Xue came to visit Fang Wang, who got up to greet her. The two sat down at the table, and Fang Wang poured her tea.

"These injuries healed way too fast..."

Fang Wang was secretly alarmed. Zhou Xue's injuries had been extremely serious; with ordinary medical treatment, she might have needed to recuperate for half a year.

Zhou Xue regained her dashing and heroic demeanor, still dressed in red, a sight to behold. Compared to half a month ago, her temperament was even more outstanding, her brows revealing a sharp and piercing spirit. She looked Fang Wang over and asked, "How is your Xuan Yang Psychic Training going?"

Fang Wang thought it was alright, only the ninth level of Great Perfection.

However, he dared not hold back against Zhou Xue, a reborn individual, since she was still a demonic cultivator. The two had fought side by side before, but with the Fang family in imminent danger, neither had time to be on guard against the other.

"It's alright, I feel like I can keep practicing," Fang Wang replied. After cultivating the Xuan Yang Nerve, he didn't plan to practice the Spring and Autumn Technique or the Devouring Heaven Demon Technique for the time being.

Xuan Yang's nerves are too strong. Half a month of cultivation has already transformed him, and his cultivation realm has reached the sixth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm.

and……

Staying in the Heavenly Palace for a hundred years is too torturous. Only he himself knows how tedious and agonizing it is.

Zhou Xue stared at him, her eyes subtle.

Fang Wang felt a chill run down his spine when he saw her gaze. Could it be that she had noticed something?

Zhou Xue withdrew her gaze and said softly, "We will set off in thirteen days. I have made a selection, and together with you and me, there will be nine disciples from the Fang family heading to Taiyuan Sect."

Fang Wang nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.

Mastering the techniques alone is not enough; he also needs to cultivate powerful spells!

"Ahem, Zhou Xue, could you teach me some magic?" Fang Wang coughed lightly and asked shamelessly.

Zhou Xue stared at him with a half-smile and said, "Alright, your sword control is so powerful, you must have a lot of talent in swordsmanship. I have a sword technique here. If you master it, you can sweep through those of the same level."
