Chapter 403: Chapter 400: Comprehending the Law, Another Divine Skill Added
When the surge of Spiritual Energy gradually dispersed, Qin Feng awoke from his cultivation state, he had naturally progressed to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
While in the Red Fla Demon Realm, he had consecutively ingested and refined several Dragon Spirit Fruits, which caused a great increase in his True Yuan, and with the pure power of the Giant Dragon’s Origin, his cultivation had already been pushed to the peak of the early stage.
However, since he had not yet perfected his own cultivation technique and did not wish to continue focusing on the “Ten Thousand Beasts Origin Scripture,” he had not advanced directly but instead suppressed his cultivation. He also wanted to use the ti to refine his progress because it had been so rapid.
After several years of tempering, Qin Feng’s True Yuan had already been honed to an utmost purity. Now that his own cultivation technique had been preliminarily deduced, his Cultivation Realm had naturally experienced a significant increase.
Furthermore, this was not a regular advancent in cultivation but an improvent following his achievents in understanding the cultivation technique, equivalent to a Sudden Enlightennt—otherwise, he would not have felt such imnse joy.
Feeling the powerful force flowing within his body, a trace of happiness appeared on Qin Feng’s face.
He gradually gathered his True Yuan into the Golden Core within his Dantian, ceased the rotating spell, and slowly opened his eyes. Twin beams of sharp light montarily glinted in his eyes—in a flash illuminating the cultivation room—before things returned to normal.
Taking a calculation with his fingers, Qin Feng realized that, unknowingly, he had been in closed-door cultivation for a whole three years, far exceeding his expectations.
“Cultivation knows not of years; with the end of winter cos no awareness of passing seasons, truly the ancients did not deceive !”
Initially, he thought his seclusion would last at most a few months to deduce the technique. Yet, once he truly imrsed himself in it, the ti spent had far surpassed his initial estimates.
No wonder in the Cultivation World many Immortals seeking longevity would close themselves away in seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years. If a cultivator like him needed this long for a re insight, then those of higher realms would naturally need much longer to understand the essence of the Dao.
Now, Qin Feng understood why cultivators pursued longevity.
It wasn’t just because there was great fear between life and death.
Although death was fearful, there was also the saying in the Cultivation World, “If one can understand the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening.”
Hence, the Cultivation World did not lack those who would disregard life and death, be it for ideals, the Dao, the legacy of their sect, the continuation of their family bloodline, and so on; many were not afraid of death.
Another reason cultivators pursued longevity was that the lifespan of ordinary people was too short, barely a few decades. If each seclusion, like Qin Feng’s, took several years, then no cultivator would dare to imrse their spirit in exploring the nature of the Dao.
Especially for those with profound cultivation—if they did not have an extended lifespan, their bodies might decay before even awakening from their deep imrsion in the Dao.
After these realizations, Qin Feng finally shifted his mindset from that of an ordinary person.
Forrly, because his cultivation advanced rapidly and he seldom secluded himself, he did not have a correct concept of ti and saw no essential difference between cultivators and mortals, feeling he was still his forr self—only stronger in cultivation and possessing greater power.
But now, he recognized his differences from the past.
The lifespan of a Golden Core Cultivator differed from that of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, and of course, from when he was a re mortal.
These differences not only lay in lifespan and strength but also in perspective and knowledge.
Through this enlightennt, his nature underwent an essential transformation, becoming purer and more transparent. He felt, for the first ti, a direct understanding of what the Daoist Heart was.
After reflecting in silence for a long while, Qin Feng chuckled to himself, gracefully stood up, and walked outside.
Exiting the Cave Mansion and strolling upon Heavenly Snake Ridge, sensing the rich Spiritual Energy, gazing at ancient trees and Spirit Bamboo, Qin Feng felt differently when he saw these sights again.
He appreciated the beauty of life, felt the vigorous vitality of Heavenly Snake Ridge, and realized for the first ti how much effort the lineage’s ancestors had put into making Heavenly Snake Ridge their present cultivation ground.
Cultivating here indeed offered them far greater benefits.
“Eh?”
Ahead, Hao Shicheng looked at Qin Feng with a face full of surprise.
He had certainly felt the commotion coming from Qin Feng’s cave mansion and knew that this junior disciple must have made progress after years of enlightennt; otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused such a stir.
However, he hadn’t expected Qin Feng’s progress to be so great.
It wasn’t about cultivation. Although Qin Feng had advanced from the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core to the middle stage and had vastly accumulated True Yuan, Hao Shicheng didn’t take it to heart.
What truly surprised him was the carefree and elegant air of spiritual energy that Qin Feng now carried.
Hao Shicheng looked at his young disciple, who seed completely different from before the seclusion, as if he had transford entirely, especially those eyes—clean, pure, like a newborn baby just arrived in this world, comforting to all who beheld them.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. With Qin Feng’s Daoist heart now flawless, his state of heart reflected through his eyes was of course pure beyond compare.
“Congratulations, junior brother, for shedding mundane thoughts and achieving a Taoist body.”
Hao Shicheng said with a smile, “It seems that after three years of seclusion, junior brother has reaped no small harvest!”
“Senior brother.”
Qin Feng bowed respectfully, his unworldly deanor emphasizing his nonchalance, “After being in seclusion for so long, I’ve only achieved so modest success, which must be amusing to senior brother.”
Hao Shicheng sighed helplessly, “Junior brother, is it really alright to undermine soone else’s confidence? If such a big advancent is rely ‘so success’ for you, hasn’t this senior brother then lived his hundred and so years in vain!
So what, is this you trying to emulate senior brother and Junior Sister Liu in belittling ?”
“Hehe, how would I dare!”
Qin Feng chuckled, instantly dissipating the detached aura around him and reverting to his original manner. However, his Daoist heart was now firm, no longer hindered by material desires or troubled by worldly thoughts. Maintaining his true nature, whatever attitude he adopted was inconsequential.
“Hmph.”
Hao Shicheng said, “It seems you have enough courage to tease your senior brother after all, but, suit yourself. After all these years, I’ve grown used to it. One more person won’t make a difference.
But to think, junior brother, you secluded yourself for three years, leaving to guard Heavenly Snake Ridge all alone—do you really have the heart to do so?”
“Hehe, senior brother knows, when it cos to seclusion and enlightennt, there’s just no helping it. You only finish when you fully grasp it—otherwise, wouldn’t the seclusion be in vain?”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “Besides, is senior brother really so lonely? I seem to have heard that senior brother has been quite close to several sisters from the dicine Master Hall!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Hao Shicheng said sternly, “I’ve only been sowhat close to Junior Sister Yao’er from the dicine Master Hall, and our relationship is pure, without any overstepping. As for the other sisters, our relationship is nothing out of the ordinary.”
“Oh, so is it that senior brother wishes to get close to those sisters as well?”
“Stop speaking nonsense and sullying the reputation of our fellow disciples.”
Hao Shicheng scolded, quickly changing the subject, “Anyway, how did it go with your cultivation technique during this ti in seclusion? Have you perfected it?”
“It’s quite satisfactory; I no longer have to worry about the Golden Core realm.”
Qin Feng said, “It’s just that after advancing to the Purple Mansion, I’m afraid I’ll need to comprehend it all over again.”
“Your progress has been incredibly fast already.”
Hao Shicheng exclaid in admiration, “You don’t know, other cultivators creating their own cultivation thods often need decades, even hundreds of years. Even those with exceptional talent and ingenuity typically need more than ten years of hard work. For you to have achieved sothing in three years already makes you much stronger than most cultivators.”
“Senior Brother overestimates .”
Qin Feng gave a bitter smile. “The reason I was able to achieve sothing so quickly is not entirely due to my own efforts. I borrowed heavily from the techniques of the predecessors, and the experience I gained in the otherworld during battle, broadening my horizons and knowledge. I already had an overall approach early on, which is why I was able to fully develop the technique in just three years.”
Shaking his head, Qin Feng reflected, “Only when I truly began to comprehend my own technique did I realize how arduous it was for those predecessors to forge their own paths. That we can achieve what we have by standing on the shoulders of those who ca before us is indeed a great fortune.”
“Heh, not bad. Having such feelings shows you’ve benefitted a lot from this closed-door cultivation,” Hao Shicheng nodded in approval.
“By the way, Senior Brother, has anything happened in the sect over the past few years?”
After all, Qin Feng had been in seclusion for several years. Without contact with the outside world for so long, he was sowhat unaccustod to it at the mont, so he inquired about the sect’s affairs from Hao Shicheng.
“Nothing major. The sect has just switched a few batches of disciples who were battling in the Red Fla Demon Realm, bringing back a large amount of resources. Moreover, in the past two years, the sect has actively recruited more disciples, making both the outer and inner sect more bustling than before by a fair margin,” Hao Shicheng shook his head.
“Besides that, so Golden Core disciples advanced to the Purple Mansion, so from the Purple Mansion to the Dharma Image, and there are even two who reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, although, not from our Spiritual Snake lineage.
This expedition was indeed full of opportunities; the rate of cultivators advancing has been much higher than before. No wonder the Cultivation World is currently abuzz with rumors that Beast Taming Sect has seized a treasure-ridden world!”
“Hehe…”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly laughed, “So, the sect has already released this information to the outside, surely attracting many outsiders to spend a great deal to teleport to the Red Fla Demon Realm to explore?”
“Of course, otherwise, how would we have such a constant influx of cultivators coming into our Beast Taming Sect?”
Hao Shicheng exclaid in amazent, “You don’t know, our market outside the Mountain Gate is now overcrowded. Although only a minority are qualified and wealthy enough to use the sect’s Teleportation Array to enter the Red Fla Demon Realm, it has attracted even more cultivators to co.
Many cultivators co simply to witness the otherworld’s specialties. The Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion has specially opened over a dozen areas for otherworldly specialties, selling countless goods every day.”
Qin Feng nodded his head, also filled with so sentints.
Originally, he had thought that once the sect promoted itself properly, many cultivators would be willing to bring various resources to the doorstep, asking Beast Taming Sect to open doors of convenience and allow them to enter the otherworld. However, he hadn’t expected the elders of the sect to be one step ahead, even attracting so many cultivators. It seed that just by selling those otherworld’s local products, they could make a killing.
Indeed, the elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Pavilion, who were seasoned in business, knew how to seize every opportunity to gather resources, far beyond what a newcor like himself could match.
“Is Master out of seclusion yet?” he asked again.
“He’s already out.”
Hao Shicheng said, “Master has beco an Immortal. His earlier seclusion was mainly for stabilizing his realm and comprehending the laws within the Divine Status of the Demon Beast. He exited seclusion before the year ended and had even summoned to impart teachings, which granted a deeper insight into my path of cultivation.”
Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile, “Although I haven’t advanced to the Purple Mansion yet, I’m just a stone’s throw away. I already have a vague understanding of the laws, just waiting for the mont when I completely see through the hindrances and comprehend the laws, and then I can advance to the Purple Mansion. Not like before, which was like looking at flowers in the fog, often thinking I was about to achieve sothing, only to end up empty-handed in the end.”
“Oh, with that said, Junior Brother must congratulate Senior Brother,” Qin Feng responded.
Qin Feng was delighted upon hearing this, “It seems there’s still a chance you could ascend to the Purple Mansion before , Senior Brother!”
“Get lost!”
Hao Shicheng glared at him annoyedly, “Are you congratulating , or are you just praising yourself and taking a jab at by the way? I’ve been cultivating for so long, being surpassed by Junior Sister Liu is bad enough, do you also want to advance ahead of ?
If that happens, wouldn’t I, as your Senior Brother, seem rather useless?”
“Hehe, well, that’s hard to say!”
Qin Feng chuckled lightly.
His recent retreat wasn’t just about perfecting his own cultivation technique, but rather, before that, the most important thing was to integrate what he had learned.
That included the divine power spells of his lifebound Ruyi Golden Snake, which he had to consider as well.
More importantly, although he had previously chosen not to ascend due to refining his realm, the Ruyi Golden Snake was not limited.
Since the Ruyi Golden Snake was an exotic species spiritual beast that could withstand the power of spiritual dicines far beyond that of human clan cultivators, he had not stopped provision of resources for the Ruyi Golden Snake during his retreat. Now, it had reached the late stages of Golden Core. Although it still couldn’t cast the forbidden curse magic of the Nine-Headed Snake, it had awakened those two forbidden curses from its bloodline.
While Qin Feng pondered the techniques, he often contemplated the forbidden curse magic of the Nine-Headed Snake, experiencing the operation of the laws within, and he gradually gained so insight into the Water Elent Principle.
Although he was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, if one spoke of the understanding of the power of laws, he was certainly above his Second Senior Brother.
If he were at the Golden Core Peak like Hao Shicheng, he could already ascend directly using the Water Elent Principle.
It was precisely because of his understanding of the laws that he felt like he had divine assistance while contemplating the cultivation thod, managing to perfect the Golden Core realm technique in just three short years.
Such is the aning of building a high foundation.
Since he had already understood the laws and transcended the Golden Core Realm, it was much simpler to look back and perfect the Golden Core realm techniques.
However, Qin Feng did not want the Water Elent Principle to beco the fundantal principle of his cultivation. In fact, he was not satisfied with solely the Water Elent Principle, wanting even more.
Indeed, whether it was the techniques he had realized or the future cultivation path he planned for himself, he could not only cultivate the Water Elent. Thus, he viewed the Water Elent Principle as a stepping stone.
After gaining so insight into the Water Elent Principle, although he could not yet claim expertise, at the very least, he had stepped through the threshold.
Therefore, when he later contemplated the power of laws from the Rock Giant’s demon core, it beca much simpler.
Now, although he had just barely grasped so notions of the Rock Giant’s Earth Elent Principle, even this had greatly deepened his comprehension of the Earth Elent Divine Power.
Whether it was using his original Shrinking Ground to Inch or any other Earth Elent skills, their potency was considerably greater than before.
Most importantly, with his comprehension of the Earth Elent Principle, he had transford the Rock Giant’s innate gravity skill into his divine power, fully cultivating this divine technique.
If he willed it, he could now turn a thousand-foot radius around him into his Gravity Domain.
Although he could only exert gravity two or three tis stronger than normal, that wasn’t the focus. He had no intention of treating gravity as a secret weapon, but he planned to use gravity to form a domain. Within his Gravity Domain, hiding would be impossible.
With his sense of touch, he could use the perception of the Gravity Domain to detect any opponent hidden in the shadows. From now on, he would no longer fear assassination, and no enemy could lurk in the darkness to ambush him.
