Chapter 188: Chapter 188: 80,000 Heavenly Cultivation, Taiqing Wuji Technique Great Perfection? (Fourth Update)
Misty Peak, outside the ancient cave dwelling of Fairy Qingxia, the Fairy Pavilion Master sat in meditation, practicing cultivation techniques, patiently waiting for the disciple to emerge.
She had waited for two full months before Xia Ningxue finally came out of the ancient cave dwelling.
Xia Ningxue’s temperament was completely transformed, pure and ethereal, transcendent and refined, seemingly floating above the waves, a fairy in gossamer robes.
The sea of clouds spanning thousands of miles around Misty Peak seemed to be drawn in, converging like an unprecedentedly vast maelstrom, with large amounts of nature’s spiritual energy absorbed by Xia Ningxue’s Lingwa Holy Body.
“It seems that you have gained the recognition of Fairy Qingxia.”
The Fairy Pavilion Master looked at Xia Ningxue, her young disciple, with satisfaction.
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion pooled the resources of the sect to cultivate a peerless genius that would astonish all six major factions.
Xia Ningxue received the inheritance of Fairy Qingxia, who ranked second in the history of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, advancing her cultivation rapidly; she might one day take charge of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and become the next Pavilion Master.
“Mhm.”
Xia Ningxue nodded.
The sword intent inheritance left by Fairy Qingxia had elevated her understanding of the Sword Dao by a significant realm.
Not only that, Xia Ningxue also obtained the cultivation technique of Fairy Qingxia.
The Fairy Pavilion Master looked towards the million mountains to the south, “In the upcoming calamity, you will be the secret weapon of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion. During this period, devote yourself to cultivation. Before you grow strong enough, your mentor will find a way to stop the Demon Lord and the four Great Demon Sects.”
“The disciple will certainly focus on pursuing the path to Longevity.”
Xia Ningxue did not forget the promise she made with Lu Changsheng.
…
Qingyun Peak, Lu Qinglian returned to the mountain to receive the Power-infusing Initiation from Lu Changsheng.
Lu Qinglian operated the Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture, refining the unceasing flow of spiritual energy from the Heavenly Spirit.
“Ding! You have transmitted 500 days of Heavenly Cultivation to your disciple Lu Qinglian, who has actually gained 80 days of Heavenly Cultivation. You receive the Disciple Apprenticeship Quadruple Return Reward: 80000 days of Heavenly Cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng’s face suddenly reddened.
This return from the apprenticeship was actually an astonishing eighty thousand days of cultivation!
The overflowing spiritual energy from the return almost burst Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body.
It’s rare for a return to trigger a thousandfold increase.
If the return surpassed a thousandfold, it could easily exceed Lu Changsheng’s limit of endurance.
The sudden addition of eighty thousand days of cultivation brought Lu Changsheng to the brink of the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm.
“Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Lu Qinglian noticed Lu Changsheng’s distressed complexion and reached out to feel his forehead.
“You go and perform Body Refinement, your mentor needs to seclude himself for a period of time for cultivation,” said Lu Changsheng, his Qi Sea churning, the additional eighty thousand days of cultivation making him feel extremely unwell. He had to seclude himself to refine the excess spiritual energy as soon as possible.
“Alright.”
Knowing her mentor had a knack for turning peril into safety, Lu Qinglian then went off to temper her Martial King Divine Physique.
Lu Changsheng, empowered by the additional eighty thousand days of cultivation, made a push to break through to the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm.
Above Qingyun Peak, a phenomenon of Purple Aura Coming from the East covered an astonishing range of two thousand miles.
If the Infinity Skill was cultivated to the ninth level of Great Perfection, it could result in Purple Aura Coming from the East over three thousand miles.
On Ten Thousand Swords Peak, the Sect Leader’s uncle, who was practicing swordsmanship, was startled by the celestial phenomenon caused by the Infinity Skill.
“It hasn’t been long, and yet this lad’s realm has improved so much?”
The Sect Leader’s uncle was once again shocked by Lu Changsheng’s progress in cultivation.
Not so long ago, Lu Changsheng returned to Qingyun Peak to cultivate the Infinity Skill because his cultivation level couldn’t keep up with his swordsmanship insights, temporarily halting swordsmanship practice.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t long before Lu Changsheng’s cultivation broke through to the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm.
“`
“Don’t you find this surprising?”
The Sect Leader’s uncle saw that people like Taiyuan Zhenren, Li Changye, and the Peak Master of Chao Yuan Peak seemed to take it for granted and didn’t show any sign of astonishment.
Taiyuan Zhenren said helplessly, “The younger generation has grown accustomed to it. In the future, the things that astonish you, Uncle, may be far more numerous.”
“…”
The Sect Leader’s uncle massaged his temples with a headache.
This junior from Mount Shu was truly defying the heavens; advancing in his cultivation was as easy for him as eating and drinking, which had upended his understanding of training.
So cultivation could be so simple.
The celestial phenomenon of the Thousand Miles of Purple Qi continued for a full eighteen days before dissipating.
However, after the purple qi phenomenon faded, various celestial and demonic phenomena appeared above Qingyun Peak.
The Sect Leader’s uncle finally understood what Taiyuan Zhenren and the others meant.
Such phenomena occurred above Qingyun Peak every now and then, and over time, the Supreme Elders of Mount Shu had grown desensitized to them.
Since the Sect Leader’s uncle had only recently returned to Mount Shu, it wasn’t strange that he felt surprised.
“This must be some sort of ancient Body Refinement Method.”
The Sect Leader’s uncle revealed a look of astonishment; it was another long-lost Cultivation Technique.
However, Lu Changsheng was cultivating these lost techniques.
At Qingyun Peak, after breaking through to the fifth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, Lu Changsheng still had not exhausted his eighty thousand years of cultivation. Thus, using the excess cultivation and various high-level Elixir Pills, he began to challenge the fifth layer of the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills, with Body Refinement Elixirs created from the Elixir Pills.
Once the Five Revolutions Divine Body was achieved, divine light radiated from it.
With each revolution of the Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills, the physique became much stronger.
The Five Revolutions Divine Body was even more domineering compared to the Fourth Revolution Demon Body.
“My cultivation and techniques are almost up to the Demon General’s level, but there is still some distance from the Demon Lord. I can only defeat the Demon Lord by surpassing the Sect Leader’s uncle.”
Lu Changsheng emerged from the Elixir pool; this time his judgment was slightly off, with just a tiny bit too much medicinal power.
But Lu Changsheng had plenty of high-level Elixir Pills, so this excess Elixir wasn’t a problem.
“Now that I’ve made a breakthrough in my realm, I can continue to cultivate the eighth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture, and the Taiqing Wuji Technique to the ninth layer.”
Having reached the fifth layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and with the Comprehension of an Innate Taoist Body, Lu Changsheng had a premonition that he could attain the Great Perfection of the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique while in the fifth layer of the Void Refinement Realm.
It was at the seventh layer of cultivation that Taiyuan Zhenren achieved Great Perfection of the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, but with the special constitution of the Innate Taoist Body, Lu Changsheng could cultivate the ninth layer ahead of time.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng began to cultivate the Taiqing Wuji Technique wholeheartedly, striving to reach its ninth layer as quickly as possible.
With the Great Perfection of the ninth layer, even if Lu Changsheng encountered a Demon General, he would possess the strength to fight.
Lu Changsheng also had a mid-grade Immortal Artifact as a trump card.
“I still have the tenth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique to cultivate.”
With the help of the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator returning various techniques in advance, Lu Changsheng was not worried about running out of techniques to cultivate.
As time passed, Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the Taiqing Wuji Technique deepened gradually.
One day, three thousand miles of purple qi appeared above Qingyun Peak.
All the Elders and Disciples of Mount Shu’s peaks were shaken upon seeing the three thousand miles of purple qi.
Especially the Sect Leader’s uncle, Taiyuan Zhenren, Li Changye, and others who cultivated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, were the most astonished.
Three thousand miles of purple aura, this was the symbol of the Great Perfection of the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique!
“Has he achieved the Great Perfection of the ninth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique already?”
Taiyuan Zhenren found it hard to believe.
It had taken him two thousand years to cultivate the Taiqing Wuji Technique, while it seemed Lu Changsheng had barely passed two hundred years.
