Lu Changsheng then found another Body Tempering Skill suitable for Lu Qinglian — an Emperor Tier mid-grade Body Tempering Technique called “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method”.
The technique has nine levels.
To cultivate the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method”, one needs various fire attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills for Body Tempering. Each breakthrough is accompanied by fierce fire burning. If one withstands it, the physique will be improved; if not, death is certain.
Although the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” is an Emperor Tier mid-grade cultivation technique and is one level below the Emperor Tier top-grade “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art”,
It is not necessarily so.
When cultivated to Great Perfection, the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” allows one’s physique to be comparable to a top-grade Emperor Soldier, on par with the 13th level of “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art”.
The “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” is rated as an Emperor Tier mid-grade cultivation technique for three reasons.
Firstly, the cultivation of “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” can only use fire attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills. In contrast, the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art” can be cultivated with any attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills. Therefore, the conditions for cultivating the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” are more stringent than those for cultivating the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art”.
Secondly, the amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills required to cultivate the nine levels of the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” is comparable to those needed to cultivate all thirteen levels of the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art”.
Thirdly, the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” is exceedingly dangerous. While basic cultivation of the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art” only requires an accumulation of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills, each breakthrough in the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” is akin to taking a walk through the Ghost Gate Pass.
Therefore, after a comprehensive evaluation, due to various shortcomings, the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” is only rated as an Emperor Tier mid-grade cultivation technique.
Most Body Tempering Martial Artists do not dare to take the risk of cultivating the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method”.
But for Lu Changsheng, this is not an issue.
Lu Changsheng has an abundance of fire attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Immortal Pills required for cultivating the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method”.
With Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique already strong enough, the nine reincarnations through fire shouldn’t be a problem during her cultivation of the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method”.
Rewarding a mid-grade Emperor Tier technique comes with a system reward.
“From today onwards, you shall cultivate this technique.”
Lu Changsheng bestowed the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” to Lu Qinglian.
Lu Changsheng had already prepared the Body Refinement Elixir in advance.
For fire attribute Immortal Pills, there were countless in Lu Changsheng’s possession, with the True Yang Limitless Pill being one of them.
Lu Qinglian memorized the Body Tempering Mnemonic Verse and began cultivating the first level.
With the fire attribute Body Refinement Elixir akin to magma, Lu Qinglian meditated while exercising her Qi within it, as her Martial King Divine Physique incessantly devoured the medicinal power of the elixir.
Her body was flawless, with strands of her azure hair shimmering with firelight.
With Lu Qinglian’s constitution, cultivating the first level of the “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” was effortless.
It was not only the first level — the Body Tempering Elixir refined by Lu Changsheng directly aided Lu Qinglian in reaching the fourth level.
[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple, Lu Qinglian, with an Emperor Tier mid-grade technique “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” and gained a reward of 9 million times return: A God Tier sixth-grade Body Tempering Technique “Eternal Indestructible Art”.]
A God Tier technique?!
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator actually returned a technique that surpasses Emperor Tier!
God Tier techniques, cultivated by Divine King Realm experts, are unique skills passed on.
God Tier techniques are divided into nine grades.
The lowest is the ninth-grade God Tier technique, and the highest is the first-grade.
“Eternal Indestructible Art”, as a sixth-grade God Tier Body Tempering Technique, is a strong cultivation method even among God Tier techniques.
The system displayed brief information about this technique.
[“Eternal Indestructible Art”: A God Tier sixth-grade Body Tempering Technique divided into ten levels, created by the Immortal Divine King during Ancient Times. Upon cultivating it to the highest realm, the flesh can compare to a Dao Artifact, eternally indestructible.]
The Immortal Divine King?
Lu Changsheng had seen records of this Divine King in ancient texts.
Legend has it that this Divine King reached the pinnacle of the Divine King Realm, and with one punch could shatter a hundred thousand mountains and obliterate stars.
The Body Tempering Technique he created had reached the level of a sixth-grade God Tier technique.
There was another technique available for cultivation.
If Lu Changsheng could master the “Eternal Indestructible Art” while in the Immortal Emperor Realm, then he would be unparalleled in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
A physical body comparable to a Dao Artifact in the Immortal Emperor Realm?
Lu Changsheng dared not even imagine it.
Lu Changsheng attempted to cultivate the first level.
“Eternal Indestructible Art” requires a huge amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even more than what the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art” requires.
Moreover, the uniqueness of the “Eternal Indestructible Art” lies in the necessity to disassemble and reconstruct the body during the Body Tempering process, which involves enduring endless agony and potential demise during disassembly.
Feeling the intense pain from all over his body, Lu Changsheng gave a wry smile.
“`
He finally understood that both “Eternal Indestructible Art” and “Fire Phoenix Nirvana Method” were dangerous cultivation techniques, which is why they weren’t highly ranked.
In fact, the tier of “Eternal Indestructible Art” was not just Divine Tier Six, but it was downgraded because of its danger.
The tier of a cultivation technique was also related to its level of danger.
If out of ten cultivators who practice a technique, nine perish as a result, then the evaluation won’t be high.
Lu Changsheng became even more cautious.
If one could master the “Eternal Indestructible Art,” it was fine, but if not, then it was dangerous.
The first layer of the “Eternal Indestructible Art” was already extremely perilous and painful.
The Immortal Divine King who created this technique was truly a madman, having created a method that tormented oneself.
However, just the first layer of the method already surpassed the thirteenth layer of the “Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art.”
Lu Changsheng knew that this body tempering technique was worth cultivating, even if it meant suffering.
Sword Tomb.
Xu Jing was still trying to resurrect the female sword immortal of the Heavenly Sect.
The soul of the female sword immortal was slowly condensing.
Normally, using the Yins ha Qi to create a new soul within an empty shell could take hundreds of millions of years, or even longer.
But Xu Jing possessed the Ghost King Banner.
This treasure could gather the Yins ha Qi from a hundred thousand li around, concentrating it near the Ghost King Banner. Weaker Yins ha like the mountain demons and yakshas would be crushed by the power of the Ghost King Banner and return to their elemental qi.
With the Ghost King Banner, Xu Jing’s speed of cultivating the Netherworld techniques increased significantly, and the speed of the female sword immortal’s soul condensing was faster as well.
According to Xu Jing’s estimate, the female sword immortal’s body originally required hundreds of millions of years to condense a soul, but with the Ghost King Banner’s help it would only take a few million years to resurrect.
This was equivalent to Xu Jing granting her a new life.
Xu Jing was also cultivating the Deductive Method of the Netherworld.
In front of Xu Jing lay more than a dozen bones, all with cracks, and the patterns formed by the cracks were the result of the deduction.
“A sign of great misfortune.”
While cultivating, Xu Jing awoke with a start when the divination indicated great misfortune.
Lu Changsheng’s actions were always quite stable.
Once Xu Jing deduced an omen of great misfortune, he immediately placed the female sword immortal into his space ring, then retracted the Ghost King Banner, erased his own presence, and hurriedly fled.
When one cannot discern where the threat is coming from, of the thirty-six strategies, fleeing is the best.
Xu Jing didn’t hesitate for a moment.
Just after Xu Jing had left, in less than two hours, several figures appeared where Xu Jing had just been.
“That person has fled.”
“Is it possible to track his whereabouts?”
“It seems he used a treasure that shielded his presence; we are no longer able to continue the pursuit.”
“If we return like this, we can’t explain to our master.”
“We have no choice… Even the master didn’t expect her to still be alive. If she were to regain her power from the past, we wouldn’t be her match either.”
“Idiots, she’s already dead.”
“Then why does our master still want us to track her down?”
“I don’t know that, let’s go back and report.”
The figures quickly disappeared again.
By this time, Xu Jing had already fled far, with lingering fears in his heart.
What exactly was the “great misfortune” indicated by the divination?
He, Xu Jing, had offended very few powerhouses; it was unlikely that he would be hunted down.
“Could it be because of this female sword immortal?”
Xu Jing turned his suspicion towards the female sword immortal he had unearthed.

But then Xu Jing shook his head.
What a joke.
The entire Immortal Realm knew that the Heavenly Sect, a super sword cultivator sect from ancient times, had been annihilated, with no survivors. With the passage of time, who else would know of such a female sword immortal?
“I’ll go back and consult my master.”
Not daring to return to the Sword Tomb for cultivation, Xu Jing headed back to Mount Taihua.
