Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Divine Slash 1
Translator: 549690339 |
Upon returning to his own wooden house, Chen Mobai took out an intermediate grade Spirit Stone from his storage bag right away. Unlike those Xianmen Spirit Stones of Che Yucheng that are repeatedly recharged and used, having only 60-70% of spiritual energy left, this Spirit Stone he got from the Divine Wood Sect had never been used and it was full of spiritual energy.
Chen Mobai had six of these intermediate grade Spirit Stones in total. All were hard-earned in the past four years at the Divine Wood Sect. Two were welfare from his Spirit Plant division, one was given by Sun Gaochang for buying spiritual wine, and the other three were rewards from Sun Gaochang after topping all competition and ranking first.
This way, it seemed that the Spirit Plant division was indeed not bad. As long as you focus on farming, not only will no one cause trouble, various benefits and rewards have never been lacking either.
After placing an intermediate-grade Spirit Stone in the energy slot of the Formless Puppet, according to the mental control method passed down by Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai linked his Divine Consciousness with the core chip controller of the puppet.
In an instant, Chen Mobai felt as if he had switched bodies.
Through the visual capture of the Formless Puppet, he saw himself sitting with eyes closed on cushion, after his Divine Consciousness had departed from his body.
Stretching out his hand, he touched his own cheek through the puppet’s palm, a very strange sense of touch.
This is the deepest method of Puppetry, named “Art of Descending the Spirit”. As the name suggests, it is to integrate one’s Divine Consciousness into the puppet. In this way, the puppet can be perfectly controlled for fighting and tasks using the Puppetry Technique.
The only drawback is that, after using the “Art of Descending the Spirit”, one can’t control their own body.
But there’s also a solution to this.
Just “Dividing Mind into Thoughts” is enough.
These techniques for training Divine Consciousness are in the “Divine Control Technique” that Qing Nu gave him.
This Divine Consciousness method has four levels. Qing Nu had taken great pains in choosing this Cultivation Technique. It was most suitable for Chen Mobai at that time.
After asking Che Yucheng, the latter also said that this technique is very helpful for cultivating the Puppetry Technique.
The first level of the Divine Control Technique is called “Divine Consciousness out of the body”. Once achieved, it is equivalent to the Divine Consciousness intensity at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The reason Chen Mobai was able to complete the final step of Foundation Establishment easily was all thanks to this.
The second level is called “Dividing Mind into Thoughts”. It requires dividing the Divine Consciousness, and after splitting it into two, the two parts of consciousness could progress and enhance at the same time. This is equivalent to double efficiency.
And the third level, “Integrating Consciousness into One”, is when the divided consciousness becomes strong enough to match the main consciousness. At that time, the two consciousnesses can be re-integrated, thus doubling the consciousness.
The steps of the second and third levels can continue until the Divine Consciousness becomes strong enough to fill the entire Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, which means the mastery of the Divine Control Technique.
The final fourth level is called “Travelling Spirit Controlling Energy”. With the mere strength of Divine Consciousness, you can do anything, and it can implement a powerful technique called “Divine Slash”.
Claiming to be able to kill within ten miles in an instant.
This “Divine Slash” can overwhelm opponents who are not as strong as him in the realm of Divine Consciousness. It is touted as a devastating technique of realm suppression.
Chen Mobai is the number one follower of the “Realm Suppression Theory”, and he thinks it’s necessary for him to learn this “Divine Slash”.
But for now, the main thing is to master “Dividing Mind into Thoughts”. By doing so, he will be able to control the Formless Puppet to launch an attack while fighting his opponent at the same time.
After his Foundation Establishment, he had already reached perfection in the first layer of the “Divine Manipulation Technique”.
Now, he could proceed to the second layer’s “Dividing Mind into Thoughts” at any time.
However, the “Divine Manipulation Technique” specifically noted that when splitting the Divine Consciousness, one would experience intense pain and discomfort. It advised those who lack strong willpower to not cultivate this step, recommending instead to switch to some gentler techniques for increasing Divine Consciousness.
This reminded Chen Mobai of the “Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique” and the “Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique”. The former was gentle, whilst the latter was intense.
At the time, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, he wished to try the faster “Exciting God Travelling Heaven Technique”. Unfortunately, he couldn’t afford nor find any Rank-2 Mind Incense, so he had to settle for the slower “Nourishing Thought Forge God Technique”.
Now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, he was considered a middle-rank member of the Immortal School and was qualified to purchase certain elixirs which help to stabilise the Divine Consciousness and nourish the mmd. He considered giving it a try.
He logged out and then re-entered his Immortal School online account named
“If I Will be Blue Emperor in the Future”.
Upon refreshing, two rings appeared, indicating that he had been upgraded from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment. He was now able to unlock all Rank-2 Spiritual Objects for purchase on the Immortal School’s online platform.
Compared to the Rank-1 items which were often in short supply due to the three hundred million cultivators vying for them, Rank-2 items were much easier to purchase.
Chen Mobai looked on the official Immortal School website and found that there were still 34 boxes of Rank-2 Mind Incense in stock.
However, the price was a bit high, requiring 120,000 Good Deed Points per box. But with no other choice, as it was a necessity, he had to buy it.
After purchasing the Mind Incense, Chen Mobai looked at the Spirit Pens for drawing talismans.
He needed a Rank-2 Talisman Brush, but found that the cheapest one required 390,000 Good Deed Points. He could only shake his head and decide to seek out raw materials from the Divine Wood Sect and have someone custom make it for him.
The craftmanship fee for a Rank-2 Talisman Brush was inquired by Ming Yuhua, which only required 20,000 Good Deed Points. It was quite affordable. He had everything planned.
For the brush handle, he would use the Rank-2 Gold Edge Bamboo from the Water Mansion. After his Foundation Establishment, this object was not of much use to him. After removing the Array Plate embedded with high-grade Spirit Stones, the spiritual energy of that place would only become weaker over time, resulting in the bamboo’s increasing withering.
As for the brush tip, he had also inquired about it. The Beast Division of Divine Wood Sect had six Rank-2 Mysterious Spirit Rabbits. As he was now considered an elder-level figure after his Foundation Establishment, getting a few bundles of rabbit fur should not be a problem.
Because the delivery of the Mind Incense would take two days, Chen Mobai started to mess with the faceless puppet again.
After his Foundation Establishment, the two cultivation techniques he practiced needed to be upgraded.
The “Pure Yang Scroll” was easier to handle. It was one of the two heritage cultivation techniques of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. The library had chapters from the Qi Cultivation stage to the Divinity Transformation stage. However, each could only be exchanged with the corresponding authority to prevent students from aiming too high.
After leaving Che Yucheng, Chen Mobai went directly to the library and got the Foundation Building chapter of the “Pure Yang Scroll”.
But practically, this was of little use to him now.
This was because he used the Longevity Scripture to establish a foundation, concentrating on this wood-attribute technique for years. He barely practiced the “Pure Yang Scroll”, only managing to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation naturally with the improvement of his Pure Yang Daoist Body. Speaking of which, his Pure Yang Daoist Body had been cultivating with the use of Spirit Stones over the years. Based on the efficiency of one Spirit Stone every three days, the Two-Yang Body was already accomplished.
However, the Three-Yang Body was a bit behind. 900 Spirit Stones required 2700 days, or more than seven years.
Up to now, he had only advanced less than halfway through the Three-Yang Body. 6
It was fortunate that he followed Che Yucheng’s advice to first establish a foundation with the Longevity Scripture. Otherwise, he might have had to wait until his eighth grade to complete the Three-Yang Body and move to the next step.
However, after his Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai discovered that he was able to transform his Spiritual Root into Spirit Stones at a faster rate..
