Chapter 241: Chapter 163: The Secret of Return to Void, Rumors of the Void Domain! (5000)_3
“I have been nurturing this axe for over eighteen hundred years now, haven’t I?”
Su Xing heard this and was incredibly shocked.
He recalled the intense killing intent and the bloody scent emanating from the crimson giant axe earlier, along with the fiery flames that seemed capable of consuming everything in the world.
That terrifying aura that made even Divinity Transformation cultivators unable to look directly at it…
Two thousand years ago, this mountain-splitting axe was nothing more than an ordinary firewood axe?
The difference was truly astonishing!
Seeing Su Xing’s shock, Niu Ruolie explained:
“The nurturing of a spiritual weapon lies in the word ‘use!’”
“Ordinary magical treasures, no matter how high the quality, will degrade over time and countless battles due to material wear, reducing their quality…”
“But spiritual weapons are different!”
“We Body Refinement cultivators wrap Origin Force around the spiritual weapons during battles, providing a buffering effect that ordinary weapons cannot harm our spiritual weapons.”
“Additionally, the daily maintenance and polishing, even the emotional connection to the spiritual weapon, can make it increasingly stronger…”
“If you become more powerful, you can even incorporate the spiritual weapon into your body, nurturing it with your own blood and Origin Force, thereby forming a life-bound spiritual weapon that will be no less powerful than any magical treasure!”
Su Xing could tell that Niu Ruolie was very proud when he spoke about these things.
Indeed, nurturing a mundane weapon into such a terrifying, earth-shattering weapon was something to be proud of!
Su Xing exhaled deeply and then bowed to Niu Ruolie:
“Thank you for your guidance, Master!”
Niu Ruolie nodded with a smile and said:
“Alright, go find your Shennong Martial Uncle now!”
Su Xing nodded in response, still deeply shaken by the crimson giant axe.
Upon reaching the edge of the back mountain, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask about how to break through the Return to Void Stage.
“Well, asking Shennong Martial Uncle should be okay too…”
With this thought, Su Xing quickly arrived at the back mountain.
Shennong Youtian still had the appearance of an old farmer in the mountains, tending to his spirit plants in the Spirit Field.
Carefully loosening the soil and fertilizing a seed,
Shennong Youtian stood up, looked at Su Xing, and with a smile, said:
“Nephew Luo, are you here to call me to the Luo Tian Conference?”
Su Xing nodded slightly and replied: “Yes, Shennong Martial Uncle!”
Shennong Youtian walked toward Su Xing with a smile and said:
“Nephew, your aura is becoming deeper and deeper. I suppose both Body Refinement and Qi Refinement have reached their limits, and you are close to entering the Void Realm?”
Su Xing nodded slightly and took the opportunity to ask:
“Shennong Martial Uncle, I came to inquire about how to cross into the Return to Void Realm?”
Shennong Martial Uncle nodded slightly and said:
“Having reached this realm, you indeed need to know about the Return to Void Realm…”
“The saying ‘Refine Essence into Qi, Refine Qi into Spirit, Refine Spirit back to Void…’ is the cultivation path of our Qi Cultivation cultivators in the early stages.”
“Stepping into the Return to Void Realm allows one’s Divine Sense to be restrained within, guarding one’s heart and soul within the physical body to protect it from aging and destruction…or to let the Divine Sense wander outside, entering the Void Domain!”
Su Xing frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
“The Void Domain? What kind of place is that?”
Shennong Martial Uncle, hearing this, instead asked: “Nephew, do you know the meaning of ‘having a long-standing spiritual connection’?”
“For ordinary people, ‘having a long-standing spiritual connection’ means they have heard of each other but have only recently met, feeling regret for not meeting earlier.”
“But for Return to Void Realm cultivators, it means their Divine Senses have already sensed each other in the Void Domain, even though they haven’t met in the real world.”
Su Xing furrowed his brow even more deeply. It seemed that this Void Domain was a place where only cultivators of the Return to Void Stage and above could send their Divine Sense.
As expected, Shennong Youtian continued:
“When your Primordial Spirit becomes powerful enough, you can sense the calling of the Void Domain. Once you enter the Void Domain, your physical body and Divine Soul can be uplifted…”
“Withstanding the Divine Thunder of the Void, you become a Return to Void Realm cultivator!”
Su Xing furrowed his brow tightly, thinking about the Void Domain and the Divine Thunder of the Void.
These things seemed to only exist in the Cultivation World…
But in Su Xing’s world, no new cultivators had been born for a long time, and he doubted the existence of the Void Domain.
“Could it be…that the path is cut off?”
Su Xing was unwilling to believe this and asked:
“Martial Uncle, is there a way to break through to the Return to Void Stage without entering the Void Domain?”
Hearing Su Xing’s words, Shennong Youtian laughed heartily and said:
“Nephew, what are you saying? How can one become a Return to Void Realm cultivator without entering the Void Domain…”
Halfway through, Shennong Youtian suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something, and said:
“There is indeed a legend… It was said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a Divinity Transformation cultivator accidentally entered the land beyond the heavens…”
“The so-called land beyond the heavens is a world without the Void Domain.”
“That cultivator stayed in the land beyond the heavens for millennia. Even after refining his spirit to Great Perfection and filling his Divine Sense, he still couldn’t sense the Void Domain…”
“But that Divinity Transformation cultivator was extraordinary. He was a genius in alchemy and, despite the absence of the Void Domain, he managed to create a kind of elixir…”
“Called the Void Refinement Pill!”
After a pause, Shennong Youtian continued:
“The Void Refinement Pill’s main use now is to help Divinity Transformation cultivators at Great Perfection to ensure their Primordial Spirit’s survival when entering the Void Domain and withstand the Divine Thunder of the Void.”
“But originally, the Void Refinement Pill was said to be an elixir that could bypass sensing the Void Domain and directly step into the Return to Void Stage.”
“Of course…this is just a legend. Whether it’s true or not, it’s been too long and I don’t know.”
Su Xing secretly noted this down. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he knew he had to try if he wanted to find his way.
If the real world truly had no Void Domain, wouldn’t Su Xing be completely out of luck?
So Su Xing said:
“Martial Uncle, the recipe for the Void Refinement Pill…ahem, could you lend it to me for a look?”
