I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 414

Chapter 414: Chapter 233 Array Path Grand Ceremony, The Changes in the Inner Domain_2
 

Xu Yan stepped into the location of the Spirit Jade Marrow.

The Divine Intent Realm was now within reach.

Yu Xiaolong glanced around the tunnel in puzzlement, feeling as if something about the tunnel had changed, but he couldn’t pinpoint what.

Xu Yan’s Mountain and River Sword Intent had already enveloped this area of the tunnel.

A fresh and rich surge of Spiritual Energy hit him as Xu Yan closed the opened rock wall with a wave of his hand and looked ahead, where a small indentation held a pool of milky white jade marrow!

In the small pool of Spirit Jade Marrow, a faint yellow gas shaped like a python circled about, at times diving into the pool, at other times coiling within the small cavern.

“Spirit Dragon Energy? How can it be here?”

Yu Xiaolong asked in shock.

“Is this Spirit Dragon Energy?”

Xu Yan exclaimed in delight.

He could feel the extraordinariness of the Spirit Dragon Energy, knowing that if he absorbed it, he would immediately accumulate enough foundation.

“Yes, this is Spirit Dragon Energy!”

Yu Xiaolong burst out excitedly, emerging from Xu Yan’s wrist.

“How can it be here? Could it be that Mang Mountain has a second strand of Spirit Dragon Energy?”

Xu Yan approached the Spirit Jade Marrow, his Sword Intent already permeating the cavern. Startled, the Spirit Dragon Energy shot out, attempting to escape into the rock wall.

“Don’t let the dragon energy get away!”

Yu Xiaolong turned into a streak of light and charged after it, opening his mouth wide in an attempt to capture the Spirit Dragon Energy.

However, a vision of mountains and rivers appeared. The Spirit Dragon Energy was encircled by it, and then, as the mountains and rivers suddenly contracted, they swept the Spirit Dragon Energy into Xu Yan’s body.

“I’m going to cultivate, you keep watch.”

Xu Yan took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged in front of the Spirit Jade Marrow.

Yu Xiaolong swallowed hard and shrank to the entrance of the cavern, coiling there without moving.

Xu Yan was too strong. He effortlessly captured the Spirit Dragon Energy; and what exactly was that vision of mountains and rivers?

As the Spirit Dragon Energy entered his body, Xu Yan began to refine it, nurturing himself, building his foundation, preparing for the transformation and ascent to the Divine Intent Realm.

Once inside, the Spirit Dragon Energy became gentle, like Spiritual Energy, slowly being refined.

This was a spiritual being beyond the first rank, fleeing at the presence of living creatures, a trait of the Spirit Dragon Energy, not an indication of spiritual wisdom or consciousness.

…

Inner Domain, Canglan Island.

Li Xuan sat in a chair, continuing to ponder the Book of Taicang, while also striving to perfect the Qimen Martial Art Techniques.

What disappointed him was that even after so long, no one had managed to decipher anything from the Formation Diagram he had sent out.

“Is it because they are limited by the Inner Realm Martial Arts, and such a talent does not exist?”

Li Xuan frowned.

Xu Junhe and others were all dedicated to their cultivation.

Red Cat was learning to read and write, and also examining the Formation Diagram.

Su Lingxiu was practicing Void Refining Alchemy and delving into the Alchemical Medical Codex, particularly the techniques of the Divine Intent Realm.

Meng Chong continued his cultivation, striving to achieve Perfection in the Divine Refinement Realm as soon as possible.

“Your disciple Xu Yan has slain a minor Celestial Martial Artist, and your combat experience has increased.”

The Daoist Golden Book opened, and golden light emanated forth.

Li Xuan: …

Another minor Celestial?

What’s going on with Xu Yan? No sooner had he entered the Spiritual Realm, he killed a minor Celestial, and now he’s killed another?

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he’d provoke a Divine Refinement Celestial, right?

Li Xuan suddenly felt some pressure.

“The Divine Origin Realm is still a bit weak!”

Although, with his current strength, it should be no problem to kill a Divine Refinement Celestial.

However, Divine Refinement Celestials vary in strength, and if he encounters a top Divine Refinement Celestial, whether he could slay them remained an unknown.

“Hopefully, Xu Yan will soon realize the Divine Skill Realm cultivation techniques; only with the Divine Skill Realm does one truly have a foundation!”

Li Xuan sighed to himself.

Once entering the Divine Skill Realm, slaying Divine Refinement beings like ants would become commonplace.

Thus, even if Xu Yan provoked many powerful forces and was chased by a group of Divine Refinement Celestials, he as a mentor, would be able to suppress them.

With Divine Skills at hand, suppressing a group of Divine Refinement Celestials shouldn’t be a problem, right?

“Qimen Martial Art, where can I find the fourth disciple?”

Li Xuan sighed.

If one could comprehend the Qimen Martial Art, he, with mastery of the Formation techniques, could set up a Great Formation, and bury any number of Divine Refinement Celestials that came.

“The Qimen Martial Art includes Artifact Refining, Formation, Prohibition, and the like. Some Formation Diagrams have already been compiled; it wouldn’t hurt to take some time to merge these Formation Diagrams and summarize them into a Daoist Formation Volume.”

Li Xuan suddenly had an idea.

Since the fourth disciple had not yet been found, he might as well take the time to organize and summarize the Formation Diagrams and compile a Daoist Formation Volume.

No sooner thought than done, Li Xuan began to summarize and compile a Daoist Formation Volume.

The Great Wilderness was developing rapidly and had completely replaced the once-great Yue State.

Guo Rongshan looked at the elderly visitor with a silent shock in his heart; the visitor was incredibly strong.

“Sir, what brings you here?”

Guo Rongshan asked with a calm expression on his face.

“Elder Guo, I am here to join the Great Wilderness and wish to become a Cabinet follower in the Great Wilderness, taking orders only from Elder Guo,”

the visitor said in a solemn tone.

Guo Rongshan’s eyebrows raised. To become a Cabinet follower in the Great Wilderness and to take orders only from him, the Cabinet Great Elder, meant that the visitor would hold a very high status within the Great Wilderness.

It also meant he could become a strong force under his command.

So far, there had been no followers in the Great Wilderness Cabinet, and Guo Rongshan was somewhat puzzled by the visitor’s intentions.

“I will need to consider it,”

said Guo Rongshan.

The visitor nodded, saying, “Elder Guo, I am a half-step Divine Refinement Celestial, more than capable of serving as a follower. The Great Wilderness needs a strong force, and Elder Guo needs it too!”

Guo Rongshan was inwardly shocked. Although a half-step Divine Refinement Celestial was effortlessly slayed like chopping vegetables by his own grandson, it didn’t mean that a half-step Divine Refinement Celestial was weak.

In today’s Inner Domain, aside from Canglan Island, a half-step Divine Refinement Celestial was still among the most formidable of fighters.

“I shall give it serious consideration,”

Guo Rongshan nodded.

What he hadn’t expected was that in the following days, several strong individuals came one after another, all seeking to be Cabinet followers in the Great Wilderness, and none were less than half-step Divine Refinement Celestials.

Moreover, all of them were hidden ancestor-level figures from certain top powers.

The matter was significant, and not being able to decide on his own, Guo Rongshan sent a message to Canglan Island, seeking advice from his son-in-law, Xu Junhe.

Xu Junhe was also undecided and thus sought out Li Xuan.

“Want to be a Cabinet follower? You can, but you must adhere to these few Cabinet follower principles, and if stronger individuals arise, they will have to step down.

“At that time, they can be awarded the honor of a retired Cabinet follower,”

Li Xuan considered and replied.

He roughly understood the meaning behind these strong individuals.

Inner Realm Martial Arts had no future; entering the Spiritual Realm would reduce them to lower-class people, and as esteemed ancestor figures, they were used to being revered.

How could they tolerate this disgrace?

If there was no other path to choose, for the sake of Martial Arts and to become a Martial Arts Celestial, they might force themselves to endure, even servitude if necessary.

However, the Great Wilderness Martial Arts provided them with a second option.

Therefore, they chose the Great Wilderness, and seeing the trend, they intended to turn the entire Inner Domain into the Great Wilderness, no longer oppressed by the Spiritual Realm!

Li Xuan gave a part of his Divine Origin, hidden within a piece of Spirit Jade, to Guo Rongshan as his protective talisman.

With this Divine Origin jade token in hand, those half-step Divine Refinement Celestials could only obediently follow orders.

He also sent word to Bai Yunkong and Pang Yu, instructing the two to enter the Cabinet of the Great Wilderness to maintain the balance among the Cabinet followers.

Changes were happening in the Inner Domain.

Li Xuan watched as the number of martial shadows grew more and more, not far from breaking ten thousand, and he lapsed into deep thought.

It was time to ponder how those in the Inner Domain Martial Arts, especially the peak Great Grandmasters and half-step Divine Refinement Celestials, could convert to practicing Great Wilderness Martial Arts.

At present, the conversion method for Grandmaster Martial Artists required the aid of pills, which ultimately imposed some limitations.

If pills were not necessary, he believed the number of Innate Realm Martial Artists within Great Wilderness Martial Arts would greatly increase, rapidly enhancing the strength of Inner Realm Martial Arts.

“Once the Great Wilderness replaces the Inner Domain, it will be time to optimize the conversion method,”

Li Xuan made up his mind.

With the Daoist Golden Book at hand, optimizing the conversion method would not be difficult. Since the optimization was based on existing Cultivation Techniques, the difficulty of comprehension would not be too high either.

He continued to perfect the Daoist Formation Volume, having already summarized eighteen Formation Diagrams.

The second page of the Book of Taicang was still under study.

The Heaven and Earth Laws were indeed mysterious, and it would take time to accumulate insights.

The establishment of the Cabinet follower hall in the Great Wilderness took place, with Guo Rongshan sitting at the head, looking towards the half-step Divine Refinement Celestials, a jade token carried upon him.

At this moment, a surge of blood entered the jade token, and invisibly, a vast and mighty presence seemed to permeate.

“I hope each of you will adhere to the follower rules!”

Guo Rongshan said to the gathered half-step Divine Refinement Celestials in a stern voice.

The half-step Divine Refinement Celestials present all had a solemn expression, feeling as if a mountain was suspended in their consciousnesses, ready to come crashing down at any moment!
