Chapter 473: Revised: Chapter 472 Master Tuijian
A divine thought crushed, and a pile of Spirit Stones was instantly turned into powder.
Subsequently, a thick surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rose immediately.
Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique!
Bai Ziyue operated the cultivation technique, resembling a giant beast swallowing the heavens, and endless energy transformed into streams of light, pouring directly into his body.
"Hoo hoo..."
The Dao Heart Lamp blazed, and the terrifying energy was quickly absorbed and transformed into pure and powerful Divine Thought Power.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
A large pile of Spirit Stone energy was rapidly consumed.
Then Bai Ziyue without pause crushed with divine thought again, and yet another pile of Spirit Stones turned into powder.
Entry Level 5%, Entry Level 10%, Entry Level 15%...
In an instant, the cultivation progress of Bai Ziyue’s Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique soared rapidly.
When Bai Ziyue absorbed all the energy contained in yet another pile of Spirit Stones, transforming it into Divine Thought Power in a split second,
Boom!
Bai Ziyue’s body shook, and his aura suddenly surged a notch, with the Divine Thought Power within him not only becoming thicker and more solid, but also continuously nourishing his body and soul, strengthening his spirit...
"The Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique has achieved Small Success.
And my strength has increased, elevating to the peak of Early-stage Divine Realm."
*Bai Ziyue quietly sensed it, feeling somewhat pleased.*
*All along, his realm advancement, strength enhancement, were mostly reliant on Soul Energy from the Attribute Panel. Now, relying on the powerful devouring transformation power of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique, he finally elevated his strength without spending a bit of soul energy.*
*This was a leap.*
*It gave him more choices.*
"It’s just that the cost was somewhat large though.
Thirty million Low-grade Spirit Stones barely pushed my power to the peak of Early-stage Divine Realm. To break through to Mid-stage Divine Realm and evolve the First Transformation of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique requires energy not less than the current consumption."
*Bai Ziyue looked at the large pile of powder on the ground, feeling a moment of heartache.*
*This cultivation technique is truly a huge consumer of spiritual resources, even with his savings, he was barely holding on.*
*The remaining number of Spirit Stones was certainly not enough to evolve the First Transformation’s effect.*
*And this was the genuine reason he ultimately ceased his cultivation.*
"However, the realm advancement has indeed allowed my strength to correspondingly receive advancement. I am much stronger than before.
The same Divine Spell can evolve more terrifying might than before."
*Bai Ziyue murmured to himself, his mind stirred, and suddenly, a Flying Sword shot out with a swish, reaching an ultimate speed, swirling freely around him.*
*His mind quickly realizing, inspired, he left a cultivation insight on an open space in the Innovation Hall.*
Then in a flash, the Flying Sword sliced a line, transformed into a stream of light, and re-entered his body.
He rose to his feet, intending to completely finish this creation work session.
...
"Did Kunlun Elder come out so soon? Any gains?"
Elder Tie Xing saw Bai Ziyue casually stride out of the Innovation Hall, raised his eyebrows, and promptly asked.
Because of the concealment by the array, even if there was a huge commotion inside the Innovation Hall, he could not perceive anything, hence he couldn’t discover Bai Ziyue engraving the cultivation technique, Celestial Divine Thunder, while cultivating when the spiritual energy was like a tide.
"Some gains, but ultimately didn’t achieve full success."
Bai Ziyue seemed a bit regretful as he spoke.
"The path of creation is not easy to tread. If it’s really not going through, fellow Daoist might as well choose another cultivation technique more suitable for you.
Though not as fitting as one created by oneself, at least it won’t completely block the way ahead."
Elder Tie Xing recalled something and suddenly advised.
"Thanks for Elder Tie’s reminder."
Bai Ziyue smiled cryptically without confirming or denying.
At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a Daoist Robe with a slightly mature face approached quickly and spoke from afar, "Elder Tie, ten days of creation time, twenty Divine Realm level cultivation techniques."
"Master Tuijian, you’ve come here for the seventeenth time now. Considering your strength and foundation, preparing for Core Formation is the proper path, why such persistence?"
Elder Tie Xing couldn’t help but sigh.
"Sect Leader of Qingxu Sect’s first disciple, Wang Tuijian, Master Tuijian?"
Bai Ziyue saw this and couldn’t help but give him a second glance.
He had previously heard from Master Fushui and Dongfang Ming about him, knowing that Master Tuijian was the first disciple of the Qingxu Sect’s Sect Leader. Seventy years ago, he had already broken through to the Peak of the Divine Realm with formidable strength.
At that time, the Sect Leader and several Hall Masters had discussed that when he broke through to the Golden Core Realm, he would be appointed to succeed as the Sect Leader.
Even the items for Core Formation, Sect Leader Ren Feixian had already prepared for him.
But now, seventy years had passed, and there were no signs of his breakthrough, leading to rumors that he might have been sabotaged and would forever remain at the Peak of Divine Realm, causing countless people to sigh in regret.
However, judging from Elder Tie Xing’s words at present, it evidently was not so.
*The other person was not only intact but seemed to have greater ambitions, determined to create a Cultivation Technique of their own?*
"One knows one’s own matters, the Qingxu True Technique inherited by the Sect may be profound, and serves as our Qingxu Sect’s town-sect technique, but even the master only achieved a Fifth Grade Pill, nowhere near the Upper Three Grades Golden Core level.
"Tuijian did not dare to compare himself to his master, yet he knew full well that achieving a Lower Third-Grade Pill almost made it impossible to step into the Primordial Spirit Realm, and even achieving a Middle Third-Grade Pill left the chance very slim.
"Only by achieving an Upper Three Grades Pill and walking the Primordial Spirit Dao, could there be hope.
"And only by creating a Cultivation Technique unique to myself and most suitable for myself could I dare to say that achieving a Fourth Grade Pill and above will not halt me at the Golden Core Realm, and only then do I genuinely have the confidence to accomplish the Primordial Spirit Dao.
"The opportunity of the Spirit Meridian ascending is, after all, too slender."
Master Tuijian spoke with a determined expression, looking calm.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll no longer persuade you," Master Tie Xing sighed softly, saying.
"You certainly have great courage."
Bai Ziyue, in his heart, also felt a trace of admiration.
*But what did Lower Third-Grade Pill, Middle Third-Grade Pill, and Upper Three Grades Pill mean?*
Soon, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
...
Fire Spirit Peak, Cultivation Cave Mansion.
"I must say, this time in the Innovation Hall, my gains were substantial.
"Not only did I finally deduce my subsequent Cultivation Technique, but even my strength was elevated to the Peak of Early-stage Divine Realm, just a step away from the Mid-stage Divine Realm."
Bai Ziyue silently pondered, summarizing his harvest in the Innovation Hall, also feeling slightly fortunate.
He felt fortunate to possess the Attribute Panel, with the ability of "Enlightenment Time."
Otherwise, solely relying on the unique environment of the Innovation Hall, he would absolutely not smoothly deduce the Cultivation Technique.
Comparing with Master Tuijian, the sect leader’s foremost disciple, made it clear. Despite the other party having extraordinary talent and abundant resources, far surpassing Bai Ziyue, he had made seventeen visits to the Innovation Hall yet was unable to create his own Cultivation Technique.
The difficulty therein could be imagined.
"The only slight regret was that the Cultivation Technique I created could only be cultivated to the Peak of Mid-stage Divine Realm.
"It means, in actuality, I still faced the situation of potentially having no technique to cultivate at any moment.
"Thus, I must quickly earn merit points and exchange for the remaining two hundred and eighty Divine Realm level Cultivation Techniques from Elder Tie’s hand.
"This way, I would have the assurance to deduce subsequent techniques with the help of Enlightenment Time.
"Two hundred and eighty techniques need 280,000 merit points.
"Even if I could save thirty percent with my purple token, I still need around 200,000 merit points."
*Initially, I considered exchanging Spirit Stones for merit points, but now that my strength has increased, likewise demanding Spirit Stone consumption, it seems a bit tight.*
*It seems that I must focus intently on alchemy.*
*While earning merit points, perhaps I can also replenish the consumption for my cultivation.*"
Bai Ziyue planned in his mind, yet his face had a calm expression.
...
"I heard that our Pill Treasure Hall recently joined a new alchemy master above Third-Grade level.
"In a few days, they will come to our Pill Treasure Hall to select a group of registered disciples to assist in alchemy.
"This is a significant opportunity for us, possibly getting noticed and learning advanced alchemy techniques."
In a large alchemy room, a somewhat sallow-looking disciple voiced his enthusiasm.
"Chen Fan, just give up on that idea.
"Generally, when an Elder selects registered disciples, they choose those with potential and solid foundation. You have only just become a First-grade Initial-stage Alchemist, unable to ensure the success rate of even the most basic Nourishing Essence Pill, requiring long training time and high difficulty. Surely, you won’t be selected.
"Only someone like Senior Brother Zhang Hee, already a High-tier First-grade Alchemist, and having stayed in this realm for over a year, possessing relatively higher potential to become a Second-grade Alchemist, would be valued by an elder as a registered disciple.
"For you and me, it’s better not to think about it."
Beside him, a tall, thin youth chimed in.
"I’ve already been notified by Senior Brother Jing Chen to report to Bixia Peak, where Elder Dan Jun is located, soon."
At this moment, Senior Brother Zhang Hee suddenly spoke with a bit of pride.
"What?"
"Really?"
"Unexpectedly, in silence, Senior Brother Zhang was noticed by Elder Dan Jun... Congratulations indeed, then."
Several people nearby immediately exclaimed in surprise, offering envious congratulations.
As alchemists in the Pill Treasure Hall, they naturally understood Elder Dan Jun’s status, almost fated to become the Hall Master of the Pill Treasure Hall in the future.
If Zhang Hee were noticed by him, even as only a registered disciple, it would be akin to a phoenix soaring to a high branch. Both the status and future potential would increase significantly.
"Actually, it’s nothing much. Not only me this time, but also Gong Changtian, Zhao Feng, Han Yue... a few others will go to Bixia Peak with me to assist Elder Dan Jun in alchemy."
Zhang Hee smiled slightly, and then added.
"This... Weren’t Senior Brother Gong, Senior Brother Zhao, and Senior Brother Han just applying to join Elder Dan Jun’s Bixia Peak last month and got rejected? How come suddenly..."
Someone spoke, recalling something, and instantly lost their words.
