Chapter 492: After Modification: Chapter 491 - Leaving Opportunities
"In this way, it means that the cultivation technique for the Divine Realm level has been completely perfected.
Next, I just need to follow the steps to cultivate to the peak, and I can naturally begin to prepare for the condensation of the Golden Core."
Bai Ziyue thought silently, his gaze then fell on the Attribute Panel, and he smiled: "Fortunately, the cultivation technique has been created; otherwise, with only four hundred and fifty thousand points of Soul Energy left, it wouldn’t last long."
He felt a sudden sense of relief.
"This time creating the technique took less time than the last.
The complete cultivation technique for the Divine Realm level in my hands now, compared to the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique I just obtained, immediately shows a noticeable difference.
Even though the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique is a method directed toward the mid-stage Primordial Spirit Realm, when compared solely to Divine Realm level techniques, regardless of the theory or the mysterious operation of the technique, it is at least three levels inferior to the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique I created."
A trace of pride flashed across his face.
If cultivating the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique allows a cultivator to form a second-grade pill, leading to a second-grade Golden Core, then cultivating his Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique would at least produce a first-grade Golden Core.
"A first-grade Golden Core is naturally far superior to a second-grade Golden Core.
Moreover, I have a feeling that when it comes time for me to condense my Golden Core, it will be far from just a simple first-grade Golden Core.
When I broke through to the Divine Realm back then, it triggered auspicious signs from the heavens, with many phenomena appearing in the world.
In the future, when condensing the Golden Core, there will surely be extraordinary phenomena occurring."
Bai Ziyue speculated, full of anticipation.
With a thought, Bai Ziyue planned to leave another segment of his insights on creating techniques in this Inheritance Hall, as a contribution to the Qingxu Sect.
His flying sword within his body swirled and soon shot forth.
However, when his gaze fell upon the place where he had left his insights last time, he was suddenly stunned. He saw that, beside his insights, a line of text had been left.
"Junior cultivator Wang Tuijian, many thanks to the elder for leaving behind your cultivation insights, which have greatly benefited Tuijian, extremely grateful."
Next to it was a long segment of insights on creating techniques left by Master Tuijian.
"What a coincidence.
I didn’t expect that the elder insights he mentioned previously were actually left by me when I first came to create techniques, out of a whim."
Bai Ziyue’s face showed a trace of interest.
With a turn of his hand, he remembered the embryonic form of the technique given to him by the other party. Upon closer inspection, indeed, there were traces of his Heaven-Devouring and Divine Transformation techniques in it.
However, by comparison, it was far more immature, with some obvious flaws and errors.
"But from my perspective, the technique he created, even if it’s just a prototype, because it includes the characteristics of the Heaven-Devouring and Divine Transformation techniques, its grade isn’t low. It doesn’t match the intricacy of the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique, but it’s much better than most Divine Realm level techniques.
If successful, there’s a chance it could condense a third-grade Golden Core."
Bai Ziyue murmured, then suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since we are so fated, and there was some calculation involved when borrowing merit points earlier, I might as well complete you and leave you an opportunity."
Speaking, his flying sword swiftly outlined next to it.
With his current foundation and understanding of Divine Realm techniques, creating another technique like the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique might be difficult, but optimizing a technique was not a problem at all.
Soon, a new, completely compatible enhancement of Master Tuijian’s technique, far more intricate and able to further his technique’s evolution and development, was inscribed on the wall.
Following that, the Beiming Flying Sword slightly slashed, re-entering his body.
...
"Elder Bai, any gains this time?"
Seeing Bai Ziyue leisurely walking out of the Innovation Hall, Elder Tie Xing couldn’t help but ask.
"How did Elder Bai do?"
Master Tuijian, who had been thinking silently beside him, also hurriedly approached.
"I gained a little, I suppose."
Bai Ziyue thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Congratulations!"
Elder Tie Xing quickly responded.
"Creating techniques has never been achieved in one go. Achieving the set goal already counts as a success.
I believe that with a few more tries, Elder Bai will surely have greater achievements."
Master Tuijian, understanding the difficulties of creating techniques, considering that Bai Ziyue was only at the early-stage Divine Realm for Immortal Techniques, assumed he only made minor progress, and comforted him.
"Indeed, the time and effort spent on creating techniques are significant."
Bai Ziyue nodded, then looked at Master Tuijian with profound meaning and said, "I believe that this time, Master Tuijian will surely succeed in creating his own technique."
"Thanks for Elder Bai’s kind words."
Master Tuijian didn’t think much of it, cupped his hands, and hurriedly stepped into the Innovation Hall eagerly.
Bai Ziyue smiled faintly, didn’t linger, and left directly.
...
Soon, Bai Ziyue returned to Fire Spirit Peak.
Upon hearing the news of his master’s return, Ma Zhen quickly put down his tasks and came to meet him.
"During my absence, is everything alright on Fire Spirit Peak?"
Bai Ziyue asked casually.
"All is well at Fire Spirit Peak, especially after the batch of improved pill formulas provided by the master.
Now, Fire Spirit Peak is truly on the right track. Not only has the wastage significantly reduced, but the efficiency of pill refining and the success rate of our senior and junior disciples have also greatly increased.
Compared to before, it has improved more than fourfold.
Most importantly, due to the large-scale refining of spirit pills, the disciples have made great progress.
In just over a month, seventy more disciples have broken through their bottlenecks in pill refining, taking a big step forward.
Currently, our Fire Spirit Peak has one Second-grade High-tier Alchemist, four Second-grade Middle-Tier Alchemists, five Second-grade Initial-Stage Alchemists, fifteen First-grade High-tier Alchemists, fifty-seven First-grade Middle-tier Alchemists, and one hundred twenty-five First-grade Initial-stage Alchemists. The number of alchemy apprentices, however, is few.
Additionally, here are our gains from this period: a total of forty-five thousand merit points and seven million and five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Ma Zhen reported everything in detail and handed over the gains to Bai Ziyue.
"Not bad."
Bai Ziyue nodded with satisfaction, clearly indicating that during his absence, they had not been lazy.
However, he did not take away all the gains from this period, only took twenty-five thousand merit points and five million low-grade spirit stones, leaving the rest to Ma Zhen.
Naturally, he would distribute and reward them to the disciples.
"By the way, Hall Master Dan Chen sent someone a few days ago to notify you to come to the Pill Treasure Hall as soon as you return."
Then, Ma Zhen seemed to have remembered something and continued to report.
"Yes, I understand."
Bai Ziyue, though a bit curious, nodded slightly.
After handling various accumulated affairs, Bai Ziyue finally set out and headed straight to the Pill Treasure Hall.
Given that he is now the recognized candidate for the next hall master, naturally no one dares to underestimate him.
Inside the Pill Treasure Hall, Bai Ziyue saw True Monarch Dan Chen, slightly bowed, and said, "Bai Ziyue greets Hall Master Dan Chen."
"Has your journey in the Inheritance Hall yielded any results? Which inheritance did you choose?"
Upon seeing Bai Ziyue, True Monarch Dan Chen’s eyes lit up, sensing that his current aura was even more ethereal than before, faintly exuding a dao rhyme that only a Golden Core Realm True Monarch might possess. Dan Chen couldn’t help but ask.
"A great harvest indeed.
As for the inheritance, I chose the Great Divine Technique, Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting."
Bai Ziyue did not conceal anything and directly said.
"That Great Divine Technique?
I thought you would choose the Cultivation Technique inheritance, Qingxu True Scripture.
After all, the Qingxu True Scripture is the ultimate cultivation technique of our Qingxu Sect, extremely powerful.
Of course, the power of the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting is undoubtedly strong, and it is known as the number one offensive Great Divine Technique of our Qingxu Sect.
It is said that in the early days, a predecessor of the sect once used this Great Divine Technique to reverse the Immortal, forcefully killing a Mid-stage Golden Core Realm demon sovereign with only the early-stage Golden Core Realm, shaking the region.
Unfortunately, the cultivation difficulty of the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting is extremely high.
The power of primordial magnetism in the world is too thin; it can only be extracted and used for cultivation in specific environments or from special ores.
Therefore, I suggest Elder Bai to exchange for a batch of Primordial Magnet Divine Stones from the Internal Affairs Hall during cultivation.
Using the power of primordial magnetism within these stones for cultivation will make your efforts half the work."
True Monarch Dan Chen couldn’t help but offer a piece of advice.
"Thank you for the guidance, Hall Master."
Bai Ziyue expressed his gratitude promptly.
He had long known that the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting was very difficult to learn; relying solely on gradual cultivation would likely take a long time to reach entry level.
True Monarch Dan Chen’s advice would undoubtedly save him a lot of cultivation time.
"By the way, the reason for summoning Elder Bai this time is actually to notify you of something."
True Monarch Dan Chen smiled as he spoke.
"What is it?"
Bai Ziyue asked curiously.
"In a little less than half a year, a Cloud-Piercing Dharma Assembly will be held in Cloud-piercing City, bringing together alchemists and artifact refiners from the Cloud-piercing Four Sects and other sects, as well as experts from surrounding regions, even those beyond the Cloud-piercing Mountain Range, for exchange and communication.
Since Elder Bai is recognized as the next hall master candidate, you should naturally enhance our Qingxu Sect’s Pill Treasure Hall’s reputation as well.
Therefore, I hope Elder Bai can attend this Cloud-Piercing Dharma Assembly. It would be best if you could make an impressive showing there.
Whether our Qingxu Sect’s Pill Treasure Hall can rise again to its peak depends entirely on Elder Bai."
True Monarch Dan Chen quickly spoke.
"Cloud-piercing City? Cloud-Piercing Dharma Assembly?
I have no objections."
Bai Ziyue, though slightly puzzled, agreed without hesitation.
Previously, he had intended to leave the sect to earn Soul Energy, and now this assembly provided a perfect opportunity to leave, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
