Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique - Chapter 261 - 243: Life Light (2)
Chapter 261: Chapter 243: Life Light (2)
“This cultivation technique directly points to the Golden Core Dao, and even in the most prosperous Central Continent of the Cultivation Realm, it is quite a good technique.”
“During my Foundation Establishment Stage, I practiced the Fiery Sun Melting Furnace Scroll, and I will now explain this technique…”
Zhong Yuefei smiled bitterly in her heart and shook her head almost imperceptibly.
’Here for nothing again. As a disciple practicing a Wood Element Technique, it’s really difficult.’
Ji An, on the other hand, listened intently. Cultivators practicing this kind of technique can absorb Bing Fire Spirit Mechanism while also absorbing Wood Element Spirit Mechanism to strengthen the fire. Even absorbing some Water Element Spirit Mechanism, which restrains fire, is beneficial.
Lin Jiuxiao explained the cultivation path of the Fierce Flame Melting Furnace Scroll in detail, and also discussed the Path of Earth and the Path of Gold.
“I am currently at the Fourth Transformation of Chao Origin Realm, having only recently dabbled in the Dao of Water Element, and know even less about the Dao of Wood Element, thus unable to guide disciples practicing these two techniques.”
“Next, I shall explain how to break through the Chao Origin Stage. When a cultivator’s understanding of the Cultivation Technique Divine Intent reaches a certain level, they encounter the Yin-Yang Transformation of the technique.
What is Yin-Yang? All things arise, created by the Great Unity, transformed by Yin and Yang.
When Heaven and Earth are in harmony, all things are born; when Yin and Yang interact, transformation begins.
The simplest understanding is that Yin and Yang refer to the two energies of clarity and turbidity.”
“Taking Fire Element Technique as an example, Bing Fire is Yang, Ding Fire is Yin, and only their harmony constitutes the complete Fire Dao.
After understanding the Dao, capture the deeply hidden Light of Life within our bodies from the transformations between Bing and Ding.
Then continuously cultivate this innately existing Light of Life, allowing it to grow until its brilliance can manifest at all times.
Finally, with the aid of the Nourishing Yuan Pill, ignite the Light of Life, transforming it into Primordial Life Fire.”
“Igniting is not burning, but a mysterious realm, indescribable in words.
Once you’ve achieved the merit, you will naturally understand…”
Ji An scratched his head, this explanation turned out to end with ’those who understand will understand’.
He began to ponder, according to this explanation, comprehending the transformation path of the Wood of Jia and Yi would allow capturing the innate Light of Life.
He could attempt it after returning.
Lin Jiuxiao’s voice rang again, “If there are any questions regarding cultivation, feel free to ask.”
Many cultivators hurriedly asked questions, Liu Yu also asked several questions.
Ji An didn’t ask, as the speaker had already stated explicitly that he couldn’t currently help cultivators practicing Wood Element Technique.
He exchanged a glance with Zhong Yuefei and saw a faint glimmer of disappointment deep in her eyes.
’Junior Brother, I don’t intend to come to listen to the teachings of the Martial Uncles anymore, unless the ancestor is the one lecturing.’
Zhong Yuefei said through voice transmission, exhaling a long breath.
…
The teaching ended, and Lin Jiuxiao left Wuji Hall.
Teng Zhiyuan jumped onto the high platform:
“Fellow Martial Brothers and Sisters, as per tradition, we will hold a trade meeting. I’ll start by offering a modest suggestion.”
Saying this, he took out a magic sword emanating a golden-red spiritual light, with seven white stars arranged on its surface.
“This spiritual artifact is forged primarily from Purple Gold Copper and Meteorite Iron, combined with thirty-six layers of spiritual prohibitions, and has been nourished for many days using Tier Two Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo Golden Leaf.
Whether driven by a cultivator using Gold Element Cultivation Method or Fire Element Technique, it possesses formidable lethality.”
He injected magical power into the spirit sword, allowing it to fly around his body, radiating red light and exuding a slight murderous sharpness.
“The spiritual artifact can be exchanged for Tier Two Artifact Refining Materials, or for late-stage Foundation Establishment pills suitable for cultivating Fire Element Technique. Is there any interested senior brother?”
He called a few times, seeing no response, he lightly shook his head and leaped off the platform.
Cultivators orderly took the platform, Ji An watched with great interest.
Everyone took out items of high value for trade, spiritual artifacts, Tier Two materials, high-tier spiritual medicines, etc., dazzling the eyes.
He did not encounter any item he was eager to have, so he refrained from acting.
After the trade meeting ended, Ji An approached Teng Zhiyuan and asked:
“Senior Brother, if I want to purchase the sword-type spiritual artifact you have, how many jin of Tier Two Golden Leaf would suffice?”
The spiritual objects he could present that might interest the artifact refiners were only the leaves of Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo and some artifact refining materials.
“Junior Brother, it would roughly require two hundred and fifty jin of Golden Leaf.”
Ji An grinned, smiling bitterly:
“I’m afraid it will take many years to save up enough Golden Leaf; this treasure is not meant for me.”
He was not in urgent need of an offensive spiritual artifact, so he was not in a hurry to acquire one.
Teng Zhiyuan returned a smile:
“Junior Brother, staying safely in the sect, there aren’t many opportunities to use such spiritual artifacts.
If you have defensive spiritual artifacts for protection, there is no need for this type of spiritual artifact.”
He had inquired about the other party’s situation, and had a good impression of this junior brother devoted to cultivating his own Spirit Peak.
All the most basic producers deserve respect, especially when they can continuously supply artifact refiners!
After exchanging a few words, Teng Zhiyuan left first.
Liu Yu walked over and said:
“Junior Brother, I have to leave the sect tomorrow and must hurry to Mingfeng Mountain.
More and more Demon Beasts are beginning to attack the Immortal City, and the cultivators of the Law Enforcement Hall are very busy.”
Ji An frowned slightly and said:
“Why not use those Loose Cultivators?”
The role of Loose Cultivators isn’t just
“Heh, it’s not the time yet.
When the Demon Calamity fully erupts, it’s the moment for Loose Cultivators to play their role.”
Once the Demon Calamity fully erupts, it marks the beginning of the Demon Beast siege phase. Even if Loose Cultivators don’t want to risk their lives, they must.
At present, the Three Sects never force Loose Cultivators to fight on the front lines.
“Doesn’t the sect’s Spirit Ship make a round trip every month?”
“Fighting is tense now; the Spirit Ship makes the round trip twice a month.”
…
After returning from Wuji Hall, Ji An added another task, setting aside time each day to feel the transformation and flow between the Wood of Jia and Yi.
He had already understood the complete Dao of Wood Element, originally thinking it wouldn’t be difficult, yet after months of meditation, he still found no method.
On this day, after finishing his cultivation, Ji An used the unique method to operate the Evergreen Wood Skill, as was recounted in the secret technique of the cultivation technique, specifically to capture the Light of Life.
The secret technique is used only by Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivators, as the vast majority of cultivators can only glimpse the Cultivation Technique Divine Intent at this stage.
If one’s realm is insufficient and understanding of the Cultivation Technique Divine Intent is shallow, capturing the Light of Life is impossible.
There is no shortcut to this, nor any pill that can assist.
In some sense, this is the most challenging barrier for a cultivator breaking through to the Chao Origin Stage.
Nourishing Yuan Pill can always be obtained somehow, but if the Light of Life is captured and cultivated, taking more Nourishing Yuan Pills will be of no help.
The secret technique has no effect on increasing cultivation; it does not draw in spiritual qi from the outside world while operating. Its function is inner seeking.
As the secret technique operated, magical power surged from the Dantian and flowed in the Immortal Vein, with a vigorous aura emanating from inside out.
In the acupoints, ten Dao Seeds glimmered.
The light green magical power gradually turned withered yellow, resembling late-autumn grass, with a faint sense of lifelessness pervading.
Ji An’s body emitted the scent of decaying wood.
The flow of magical power became increasingly frantic, akin to an elderly person in their twilight years.
Suddenly, he heard a profound sound from the void, and the withered yellow magical power gained a trace of green.
The flow of magical power gradually accelerated, and the emerald green became increasingly dense.
When the vigorous life aura reached its peak, the verdancy also became most intense.
Like a cycle of rebirth, the green gradually faded, becoming ever lighter.
When the green completely vanished, giving birth to a moment of withered yellow, Ji An sensed a faint silvery light flowing between his kidneys, intermittently manifesting.
’Found it!’
He rejoiced inwardly, though his emotions involuntarily fluctuated slightly.
That thread of light vanished swiftly like a startled bird.
Ji An opened his eyes, with no hint of regret in his gaze, and laughed heartily.
His ability to glimpse the Light of Life indicated that his understanding of the Cultivation Technique Divine Intent had reached the standard. Next, he only needed to follow the secret technique step by step to grow the Life Light.
The growth of Life Light requires long-term, meticulous work. To refine it to the conditions for breakthrough, a cultivator must dedicate at least ten to twenty years of hard work.
He is currently only at the Seventh Layer Foundation Establishment, meaning he can refine the Life Light to roundness and spontaneous brilliance before reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection.
