Chapter 322 Three Years of Seclusion Nearing its End Zheng Urgently Arrives

Listen up, junior! I am the Heavenly Evolution True Lord, invincible under heaven. You shall have me…

…

here we go again……

Yu Xian raised an eyebrow, quickly skipping over the self-praising section and looking at the formal cultivation method that followed.

The Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique strengthens the spirit and consciousness, and is divided into sixteen realms.

Yu Xian, on the other hand, only has four levels of cultivation, which can be considered the first volume.

The first level is the integration of intention into the body.

The second level is the divine penetration of the body.

The third layer is the controlled object.

The fourth level: Feigned Slash.

Yu Xian spent five hours memorizing all the techniques.

Then he guessed that Yang Lin must have reached the third level of control over things, and that it was in the late stage, or even the perfect stage.

Otherwise, she would never have been able to control five puppets made of fourth-tier superior materials.

If one can reach the fourth level of the Void Slash Realm, although the spirit is not divine consciousness, it can still penetrate the enemy’s sea of ​​consciousness and cause damage.

However, using your mind to harm your enemy is not very effective, since your mind will naturally be weakened when it enters someone’s consciousness.

It’s far more beneficial to use such a powerful mental force to control a puppet made of fifth-tier materials, which is a Golden Core level puppet!

A puppet made entirely of fifth-tier materials is simply incomparable to a fifth-tier magic weapon.

Whether it’s the power of his spells or the explosive force of his fists and feet, he’s no different from a Golden Core stage expert.

Similarly, controlling a puppet made entirely of fifth-tier materials requires an extraordinary amount of mental energy. At the very least, Yang Lin is currently unable to activate it; otherwise, she would have taken it out long ago, as she would be invincible below the Golden Core stage.

“This Heavenly Evolution True Monarch is truly a peerless genius… No wonder he dares to claim he is invincible…”

After watching, Yu Xian closed his eyes slightly.

He opened his eyes a moment later and sighed.

The path of the spirit, though it can be strengthened through hard work, is still arduous!

Whether it’s assimilating the Heavenly Demon, consuming Yin Pills, or any other method, the improvement isn’t significant.

However, the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique allows a cultivator to begin refining, strengthening, and nourishing their spirit from the Qi Condensation stage!

With such a solid foundation laid from the very beginning, once he reaches the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, the strength of his divine sense alone will be much higher than that of other Nascent Soul cultivators!

Even if they were both at the same Nascent Soul stage, they didn’t need to fight with magic; they could easily defeat each other by first battling with their divine senses!

Because his spiritual strength was several times, or even twice, that of the other party!

How could the opponent possibly fight back? They could only offer a weak resistance and were forced to flee in disarray!

Based on this, it can be inferred that when True Lord Tianyan was still alive, he was probably truly invincible within the realm!

Putting aside the puppets, his own spiritual strength alone should make him virtually unrivaled.

“But who knows which is stronger, the Wood Spirit Heart-Rhinoceros Technique created by the great phoenix tree, which can only be practiced by plant spirits, but was learned by me through the Foundation Establishment Elm Tree by chance, or this Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique?”

Yu Xian’s gaze remained calm as he thought to himself.

The Wood Spirit Heart-Tongue Method, which was obtained from the Nascent Soul fragments and left behind by the Great Wutong Tree, was a method for plant spirits to cultivate, enhance their spirit, and eventually condense their consciousness to become truly living beings.

Humans themselves are not allowed to participate in cultivation.

However, a small elm tree grows on Yu Xianji’s platform. By circulating the power of the small elm tree, one can actually cultivate. Over the years, the power of the Wood Spirit Heart Rhinoceros has been nourishing his spirit, which is why his spirit is exceptionally strong.

The Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique, on the other hand, is a cultivation method purely for humans.

Therefore, whether it’s a plant or a human, both cultivation methods enhance the spirit, so it’s really hard for Yu Xian to judge which is stronger or weaker.

“Whatever, let’s cultivate together. Anyway, once I reach the Golden Core stage, I won’t be able to cultivate the Wood Spirit Heart-Rhinoceros Method.”

Yu Xian didn’t dwell on this. He simply shook his head, murmured something, closed his eyes slightly, and began to cultivate the first level of the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique: Intent Penetrating the Body.

As for why it is said that the Wood Spirit Heart-Touch Method cannot be practiced after reaching the Golden Core stage?

The current Wood Spirit Heart-Rhinoceros Method is practiced by using the elm tree form as the foundation platform.

However, once Yu Xian reaches the Golden Core stage, the Foundation Establishment Platform, the Great Elm Tree, and even the Qi Sea will all condense into a Great Golden Core of Heaven and Earth. Naturally, there will be no way to operate the Wood Spirit Heart-Rhinoceros Method.

Ultimately, this is a cultivation method given by the Great Phoenix Tree to other plant spirits, not to humans.

Yu Xian only learned it by chance because of the elm tree, and ultimately gained more than ten years of spiritual training.

Activating the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique, Yu Xian closed his eyes and remained still. Streams of spiritual power emanated from his sea of ​​consciousness, rapidly circling his body before returning to his sea of ​​consciousness, forming a grand cycle.

The spirit permeates the body, and the mind is clear and unobstructed.

After a full cycle, Yu Xian felt his spirit improve slightly, though it was extremely weak. But to achieve such an effect on his first use of the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique was enough to prove how terrifying the technique was!

No wonder the Puppet Spirit Sect recruits disciples based on their natural talent and aptitude, but on their innate strong spirit!

Because of their naturally strong spirit, combined with the training of the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique, their spiritual training is ten times, even a hundred times, stronger than that of ordinary people!

This is similar to how an ordinary person’s spirit is one, while someone born with a strong spirit has ten.

So, if both cultivate the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique to train their spirit, and ultimately achieve a tenfold increase in their spiritual potential, the difference between them will be as vast as heaven and earth!

This is why a strong foundation leads to great rewards!

You borrow one, and after a day’s hard work you get two.

If someone borrows ten, you can earn twenty after a day’s hard work.

Then the difference between you and this person is a full eighteen!

Although Yu Xian was not born with a strong spirit, he was mentally resilient and had been trained by the Wood Yang Heart Rhinoceros, swallowed the Yin Pill, and absorbed the Heavenly Demon to strengthen himself.

Practicing the Heavenly Heart Divine Evolution Technique again at this moment has a similar effect and brings great benefits!

“Excellent technique…”

About three hours later, Yu Xian opened his eyes, exclaimed in admiration, and muttered to himself, “Furthermore, with a strong spirit, not only can I control puppets, but the time required for my Three Thunder Fusion Technique can be reduced again. If I can achieve it within ten breaths… heh…”

With a flicker in her eyes, Yu Xian closed them again.

Time slips away unnoticed during this practice.

It took Yu Xianyi five months to achieve the Great Perfection of Body and Mind.

Then, the spirit penetrated the body.

Of course, the Great Perfection of Mind Penetrating Body does not mean that this level is useless. It can still circulate continuously throughout the Great Heavenly Cycle, and with the passage of time, it slowly increases spiritual energy.

Yu Xian himself possessed a profound and powerful spirit, thus shortening the time for others by several years, or even more than ten years. In just five months, he was able to penetrate his entire body with his spirit and remotely control the puppets.

“Mental penetration…”

Yu Xian closed his eyes and muttered to himself, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

He was sitting cross-legged in place, showing no signs of anything unusual, but suddenly a chair to his left slowly floated into the air.

This change startled even the little phoenix cat, who had been cultivating in the corner of the room, and it stared wide-eyed at the floating chair.

The chair’s levitation was not caused by spiritual power or by the absorption of magical artifacts.

The little phoenix cat felt nothing controlling it, yet it mysteriously floated up.

The little phoenix cat didn’t understand why, and its wide eyes were filled with astonishment. It even stood up, arched its back, and entered battle mode!

The master is still in seclusion, still cultivating!

But what’s with this chair?! What kind of weird thing got in here?!

We mustn’t let it disturb its owner!

Little Phoenix looked around. In the distance, the clumsy heron in the clouds was still meditating with its eyes closed, completely unaware of the urgent situation!

It seems I can only rely on myself to help my master!

Slowly baring its teeth, revealing sharp, gleaming fangs, the little phoenix cat rapidly gathered its strength!

The next moment, a yellow light, like lightning, appeared silently yet with tremendous power, and swept across the chair in an instant!

Bang!

With a loud bang, the chair shattered on the spot.

Yu Xian frowned as his mental energy was forcibly severed, and his head felt like it was being pricked by tiny needles.

However, the pain wasn’t too bad, because unlike Yang Lin, he didn’t connect a large amount of his mental energy to the puppet.

With less mental energy, the pain of being severed is naturally less.

Opening his eyes, Yu Xian looked at the little phoenix cat that was looking at him with its head held high and a look of self-satisfaction on its face, and raised his hand to beckon.

He immediately captured the little phoenix cat.

Holding each other by the scruff of their necks, a person and a cat stared at each other.

What are you doing?

Yu Xian reached out and lightly flicked the little phoenix’s forehead, saying, “Are you that curious?”

“Meow…”

The little cat winced slightly in pain and let out a cry.

“Oh, then I misunderstood you. You’re quite clever.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian nodded, understanding what Little Phoenix Cat meant.

After all, Little Phoenix Cat now has the intelligence of an eight or nine-year-old child. Although she can’t speak, she can still express the general meaning.

It was worried that the chair might be something dirty and would bother it.

This is loyalty to one’s master.

After putting the little phoenix down, Yu Xian waved his hand and said calmly, “Go to the courtyard and cultivate properly. I’m fine.”

“Meow.”

The little phoenix cat looked up and meowed, its eyes full of pride at being praised. It then turned and strode out of the main room to cultivate in the courtyard.

Yu Xian shook his head, steadied himself, and after an incense stick’s time, another chair slowly rose up…

Five more months passed.

Suddenly, the chair that had been floating began to move, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly, and even suddenly disintegrated into various wooden strips, which then reassembled and restored itself, which was incredibly magical.

“Controllable objects…”

Yu Xian opened his eyes, and the chair returned to its original position, as if it had never been moved.

“Let’s stop here for now. Otherwise, if we keep cultivating, it might take three years to reach the level of Yang Lin who can control five puppets. For now, being able to control one puppet is enough. As for the method of crafting puppets, we’ll see later. I know the art of weapon crafting, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. I’ll just craft a fourth-grade high-quality wood-attribute puppet when the time comes.”

With a muttered word to himself, Yu Xian slowly finished his practice.

The Heavenly Heart Divine Art is extremely profound. Yu Xian was able to comprehend it to the point of controlling a puppet within ten months, partly because of his exceptional comprehension.

Secondly, his mental strength was already very strong, so he didn’t need to overwork his foundation.

However, if one wants to continue to delve deeper into the knowledge, it will take a long time. It would be difficult to catch up with Yang Lin’s five puppets within three to five years, after all, she has been practicing hard for twenty or thirty years!

Yu Xian was pressed for time and couldn’t afford to delay, so he had to stop for now and deal with it later when he had more time.

After dispelling the Heavenly Heart Divine Technique, Yu Xian’s spirit relaxed, and his sea of ​​consciousness became increasingly clear.

Over the course of ten months, his mental strength increased by about 15%, which is a significant improvement.

With a flick of his wrist, Yu Xian retrieved the Jade Spirit Sword.

Zhu Chenglin said that the sword was made by an extraordinary person. The reason why it was able to become a superior fourth-grade sword with third- and fourth-grade materials was because a sword formation was engraved inside it.

The Azure Spirit Sword and the Azure Spirit Sword Technique were passed down to him by his master.

Back then, when he used the Azure Spirit Sword Technique to activate the Azure Spirit Sword, his killing power was no less than that of an ordinary sword cultivator at the same cultivation level.

Of course, it can’t compare to the sword style of Hua Yuandu.

Later, Yu Xian obtained the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique, as well as other more powerful techniques and spells such as the Vine Technique.

The killing power of the Azure Spirit Sword Technique becomes increasingly weak, and it is better to wield the Azure Spirit Sword and use physical strength to slash.

Therefore, the Azure Spirit Sword Technique was basically no longer used.

However, it now seems that the Azure Spirit Sword Manual is only the first chapter, and the sword formation engraved inside the Azure Spirit Sword is the true Azure Spirit Sword Manual.

While it’s rare to find a magical artifact containing a cultivation technique, it’s not unusual.

For example, the Mirror of Radiant Light that Zheng Huo obtained contained the Secret of the Morning Sun and Colorful Clouds, which could only be obtained by those with a special destiny, and Zheng Huo was such a person, and happened to encounter it.

Otherwise, if it is missed, this mirror will only be an ordinary fifth-tier magic weapon to others, nothing more.

The same applies to the Azure Spirit Sword; its inner workings can only be obtained by Yu Xian.

Even if Zhu Chenglin knew, he couldn’t obtain it. He didn’t have the initial version of the Azure Spirit Sword Technique. If he tried to forcibly comprehend the sword formation within it, the magic weapon would inevitably collapse, and he would gain nothing.

Driven by spiritual energy, the Azure Spirit Sword hovered in front of Yu Xian, its cold light flashing and sword energy overflowing. The Azure Spirit Sword, a fifth-grade superior weapon, was more than ten times more powerful.

Yu Xian looked at the Azure Spirit Sword in front of him with a calm gaze. He raised his hand, put two fingers together, and placed them on the sword, stroking it gently.

Use the Azure Spirit Sword Technique to activate the Azure Spirit Sword and feel its icy sword intent and bone-chilling sword energy!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. It was midnight, and the bright moon hung in the sky. Yu Xian suddenly had an epiphany.

Bi Ling… Bi Ling!

Azure sea and blue sky, the night is serene, boundless spiritual energy, frost and white snow, pure and pristine…

“So it was a vast expanse of sky and earth… a blue sea and a clear sky…”

Yu Xian sighed, opened his eyes, and looked through the courtyard at the vast sky.

The bright moon, like a silver plate, is unfathomable in its majesty. Countless stars adorn the dark curtain, stretching endlessly to the blue sea and sky.

“Azure Sea and Blue Sky Sword Technique”.

Yu Xian put two fingers together, touched the sword, and drew out the true sword technique of the Azure Spirit Sword Art, quickly comprehending it.

After a moment, he smiled faintly and said, “Such a sword technique is quite powerful. It’s a pity that I am already struggling with both physical and magical cultivation, and I can’t spare the time. If another sword cultivator comes along, I will surely bite off more than I can chew, which will only delay my cultivation. I will put this sword technique away and give it to Hua Yuandu, this sword genius, to practice in the future.”

Yu Xian was also decisive. He obtained the Azure Sea and Azure Sky Sword Technique, but he was unmoved and did not try to comprehend it at all. He directly put away the Azure Spirit Sword and took out the Flying Sand Soul Gourd to study it.

After seven days, Yu Xian finally understood the function and method of using the Flying Sand Soul Gourd.

Then he waved his hand again and took out the Mysterious Ruler to study it.

As a sixth-tier superior magic weapon, the Xuanxu Ruler is extremely difficult to activate. Yu Xian spent two months comprehending it and although he completely understood how it operated, he simply couldn’t supply enough spiritual energy. It was like a small horse pulling a heavy cart, willing but unable to do so.

This treasure can only be used normally after obtaining the Golden Elixir.

Similarly, Yu Xian spent two more months studying the Spirit Void Fan. As a magic weapon for escaping into the void, this fan can be used at an extremely fast speed, but it also consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy, making it difficult to use.

After Yu Xian fully understood how it worked, he put it away, waiting to use it again after he achieved the Golden Core stage.

Finally, Yu Xian took out the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array.

Although I haven’t spent much time studying this formation since I obtained it, its power is already extremely terrifying!

Now we must carefully comprehend this. If we could add another 20% or 30% of killing power, then Mu Hanling, Yang Lin, and other so-called holy sons would be nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!

The formation was so profound that Yu Xian was completely absorbed in it, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been in seclusion for two and a half years.

On this day, Yu Xian let out a breath, raised his hand, and put away the Heavenly Star Six Elements Grand Array.

He did gain some insights into the formation, but it only increased his killing power by a little over 10%. This was partly because the formation was so profound that it was not something that could be improved in a short time.

Secondly, there is the issue of materials.

In order to rush the work, Yu Xian did not use very good materials to refine the array flags. In fact, if these six array flags were made of fifth-grade high-quality materials, the array would be truly fierce!

“We’ve reached the end… To improve further, we either need to change the array flags or gain enlightenment at the Golden Core stage…”

Yu Xian murmured to himself, breathing slowly, his gaze calm. After a moment, he said softly, “I’m at the late stage of the Little Core Formation realm, it’s time to try to break through. I think the day I try to break through to the Golden Core stage will be when I reach the Great Perfection of both Dharma Cultivation and Body Cultivation.”

After saying that, Yu Xian raised his hand and made a pinching motion, his expression calm. Suddenly, bursts of scorching heat emanated from his body.

Then, a series of deep, rumbling sounds, like muffled thunder, emanated from his body!

The Great Elixir Body Refining Technique!

Use heaven and earth as the furnace, and yourself as the elixir!

Rumble… Rumble…

Like the surging flames of the earth, or the rolling thunder of the heavens, Yu Xian sat there, just like a human-shaped alchemy furnace, refining a peerless elixir!

I don’t know how much time passed; it seemed like a day, or perhaps several months.

Yu Xian’s brows twitched suddenly, and he slowly withdrew his power, the terrifying heat emanating from his body gradually disappearing.

He looked up at the door, a look of confusion on his face.

Outside, Zheng Huo stood at the courtyard gate, gently activating the array and calling out softly, “Brother, brother, it’s me, it’s Zheng Huo. Are you still in seclusion? I have urgent business with you…”

Is Zheng Huo facing some urgent matter again?

He knew perfectly well that I was in seclusion, yet he still came to disturb me again?

Yu Xian pondered to himself before standing up.

He wasn’t annoyed. Anyway, there were still less than two months left before he was supposed to leave the country in three years, so he might as well leave early.

Stepping to the door, Yu Xian activated the array, opened the door, and asked with a puzzled look, “Brother Dao, what urgent matter do you have now?”

“brother.”

Seeing that Yu Xian had indeed emerged from seclusion, Zheng Huo revealed a look of joy. He glanced around, then took two steps forward and whispered, “Do you want to condense your golden core?”
