Chapter 584: Chapter 214: Seeking ’Fruit’ Through ’Cause’, Ancient Scholar_2

Even for low-tier magic, it’s rare for them to entirely consist of the Dharma Rune structures he mastered.

The most, only covered eighty percent.

Out of thirty-two Dharma Rune structures, he directly mastered twenty-six, meaning he only needed to familiarize himself with the remaining eight Dharma Rune structures, and that’s enough.

The final result was that it took him only half an hour to cultivate this magic from entry to perfection.

However, his cultivation of these low-tier techniques was originally to master a greater quantity of Dharma Rune structures.

Therefore, he was actually less inclined to cultivate magic with completely overlapping Dharma Rune structures.

Only those magic with new Dharma Rune structures held cultivation value.

"However, I can indeed lean towards fire techniques in the magic I cultivate next.

Being able to increase the compatibility with the Dharma Rune structure of Phoenix Three Nods a bit more will naturally allow me to truly cultivate this magic faster, the Dharma realm will improve more swiftly."

Zhou Changwang considered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

As for Karma Desire Technique.

"This secret technique.

Differs from traditional techniques.

It involves the mysterious cause and effect in the void, focusing more on the use of divine sense.

The Dharma Rune structure only serves as a ’platform.’

Whether one can utilize this technique effectively relies on the divine sense to ’communicate,’ ’build bridges,’ needing the divine sense to find ’effects’ through ’causes’ in the void, using a strong ’intention,’ ’wish,’ to find what one wants to discover, an original thing, person, or object..."

Zhou Changwang set down the Jade Scroll recording the Karma Desire Technique.

Couldn’t help but rub his brow.

Complex, variable, and somewhat elusive.

"To truly cultivate this technique to entry level is indeed not an easy task.

However, just the Dharma Rune structure is not too hard..."

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhou Changwang temporarily put away the Jade Scroll.

This secret technique still needed further pondering over some time.

For now, he understood only the surface.

Even if the corresponding Dharma Rune structure is sketched out, without that ’cause,’ without that force of ’intention,’ ’wish,’ it can’t truly refine this technique.

Thus.

Three days later.

Zhou Changwang smoothly cultivated the Six Harmonies Flying Heaven Sword Formation to the realm of perfection.

Then, he hurriedly began to enhance his use of Flying Sword, commencing the cultivation of the Twelve Flying Heaven Sword Formation.

Perhaps due to previous experience, his progress was again astonishing.

Twelve Flying Heaven Sword Formation +12

Twelve Flying Heaven Sword Formation +9

Twelve Flying Heaven Sword Formation +10

...

Just within the time for an incense stick to burn, this set of Twelve Flying Heaven Sword Formation was cultivated to mastery level, then half an hour to small success, two hours to great success.

Then, just as Zhou Changwang wanted to continue meditating deeply.

After being a hands-off shopkeeper for a few days, he was finally called out.

"Elder.

At the foot of the mountain, a cultivator from the Heaven and Earth Alliance has arrived.

Now, Xu Kun and Zhang Dong, two cultivators from the guard team, are blocking the path and asked us to inform you."

Zheng Ajiu said urgently.

"Cultivator from the Heaven and Earth Alliance?

How many have come?"

Zhou Changwang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"One person.

Seems to be the third alliance leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Xu Zhen.

He said there was some misunderstanding with you, and he wants to come over to explain.

And he has something to discuss with you."

Zheng Ajiu promptly said, but hesitated for a moment, then added, "I feel, his intentions aren’t good.

I’ve heard some rumors about Xu Zhen from the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

It’s said he was born a mortal scholar, somehow gained celestial fortune and entered the Cultivation Realm.

Though he seems like a white-faced scholar on the surface, he strikes ruthlessly and is skilled at skin-stripping; previously, he even had the title of Skin-Stripping Scholar.

Any cultivator who died at his hands, if they looked handsome or beautiful, would have their facial skin stripped... I even heard, he possesses a soul-capturing technique, which can seal a cultivator’s soul on the facial skin, almost no different from the Demon Path."

"Oh?

No matter if it’s the Demon Path or Ghost Path, I’ll find out by meeting."

Zhou Changwang’s eyes flashed.

With a gesture of his hand.

A flying sword floated beside him.

Then he leaped, stepping onto the flying sword.

"Rise!"

In an instant, the flying sword flickered, then carried him swiftly towards the foot of the mountain.

Zheng Ajiu stood to the side, her face full of envy and yearning.

The unique sword flight of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As a cultivator, who doesn’t yearn for sword flight?

Naturally, she also desired this.

But she understood her own talent, which was only average.

Even if she could cultivate to the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation before sixty, truly crossing that threshold to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm was an extremely difficult task.

Immediately, she also quickly dashed towards the foot of the mountain.

...

The speed of sword flight is, of course, extremely fast.

Soon, Zhou Changwang flew over the peak and descended to the foot of the mountain, from afar he saw a scholarly-looking man with a white face quietly standing on a flat ground.

And on the other side, besides Xu Kun and Zhang Dong, two Celestial Essence City guards, Zheng Cheng, Zheng Qi, and four cultivators from the Chen Family and Zou Family stood tensely, vigilantly gazing at the person opposite.

Surrounding them, naturally, were the loose cultivators residing in Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

However, they looked from afar, not daring to get too close.

"The Peak Master is here."

Just then, someone exclaimed, and all eyes fell on Zhou Changwang.

He too quickly descended, looking towards the scholarly cultivator in white before him.

"This fellow Daoist should now be the Peak Master of Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, Kunpeng Daoist.

I am Xu Zhen, with the Dao name Tonggu, Ancient Scholar, I have met the fellow Daoist."

Seeing Zhou Changwang land, the white-faced scholar first bowed and then spoke.

"Ancient Scholar?"

Zhou Changwang glanced at him, then looked towards Xu Kun and Zhang Dong, saying, "These past few days, I’ve been busy with some matters, if I’ve been negligent, please forgive me."

He knew that the current Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land was in a state of disrepair.

The Mountain Protection Array had not yet been set up.

Master Tian Heng had been surveying with his disciples the terrains, veins, and flows of spiritual qi these days, hoping that the grand array could harmonize with the heavens and earth to truly unleash the power of the Inverted Five Elements Array.

Thus, if this Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen charged to the top of the mountain on Palm Heart Peak where he lived, there was no one who could stop him.

If not for the intervention of these two guard team members,

The other party would not have paid attention to Zheng Qi, Zheng Cheng, and others.

With their cultivation levels, they couldn’t stop this Third Level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Elder Kunpeng is too courteous.

We are just doing what we should do."

The two exchanged a glance, cupped their hands simultaneously, and said.

Zhou Changwang nodded, then set his eyes on the Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen opposite, "May I know why Fellow Daoist is here this time?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you just going to exchange pleasantries with me here?"

Xu Zhen glanced around and smiled slightly.

"Currently, the conditions at Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land are simple, and there isn’t a place worthy for hosting, I hope Fellow Daoist will understand.

If there is anything, feel free to mention it."

Zhou Changwang smiled slightly and said.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Scholar’s expression turned somber for a brief moment, but he quickly smiled and said, "It’s actually nothing important.

Originally, our Heaven and Earth Alliance took over Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, never with the intention of occupying it.

We didn’t have it before, and we don’t have it now.

Perhaps, Fellow Daoist, you have some misunderstanding with our Heaven and Earth Alliance for some reason.

After our Alliance Leader heard, he was quite upset.

He only said that they truly were unaware beforehand that the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land had already been rented by you, Fellow Daoist.

Otherwise, there would be no need for you to come and warn us, our Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators would have moved long before.

Because of this, there were some small conflicts, so I came to explain to Fellow Daoist."

"Oh?

Didn’t expect your Alliance Leader to be so magnanimous?"

Zhou Changwang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Just then.

A figure flew through the void once more.

It was the third Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land, besides Zhou Changwang and Master Tian Heng, Guo Sheng.

"Peak Master.

I heard that Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators have arrived.

Do you need assistance?"

From afar, Guo Sheng spoke and soon landed not far behind Zhou Changwang.

The Ancient Scholar Xu Zhen’s face darkened once more, and he couldn’t help but take a good look at Guo Sheng.

Why has this Guo Sheng so quickly sided with this Kunpeng Daoist?

This act of loyalty made him somewhat puzzled.
