Chapter 356
As for the spiritual awareness attack secret arts of Sightseeing and Spiritual Awareness Flying Swordsmanship, and the spiritual awareness defense secret art of Spiritual Awareness Isolation Technique, although he had dabbled in them and planned to start practicing them,
once again, when he used the corpse of the tiger demon to temper his spiritual awareness, he unexpectedly discovered the unique spiritual awareness field on the corpse. Immediately, he devoted more of his mind and heart to it.
Then, after spending almost a month, he finally figured out some of the principles of this spiritual realm, and was only one step away from comprehending the rudiments of the spiritual realm.
This is why he felt that he had invested the most time in spiritual cultivation, but reaped almost the least benefit.
Of course.
Immortal cultivators sometimes cultivate, but they cannot just calculate the amount of improvement they have made.
From scratch is a very difficult process.
Previously, he had mastered the secret arts of spiritual awareness attack and spiritual awareness defense, and with the help of the attribute panel, he had improved them to a state of perfection.
But in essence, his use of spiritual awareness was still very rudimentary.
He was just imitating others, using his own spiritual awareness according to the training methods of the Divine Dagger and Divine Light Shield arts.
As for the principles involved, he knew how but not why.
Now, his use of spiritual awareness was naturally incomparable to the past.
Although he has not yet started to practice the secret arts of spiritual perception, such as the art of seeing with one’s mind and the spiritual perception flying sword technique, and has not even entered the door,
he is confident in his heart that he can successfully practice several spiritual perception secret arts in a short period of time.
If the length of time to enter the door is used as the calculation, if he does not practice spiritual perception until he has almost mastered the rudiments of the spiritual perception realm, he will need at least half a month to enter the door to the art of seeing with one’s mind or the spiritual perception flying sword technique.
After all, these two secret arts of spiritual awareness attack are much more complicated than the Divine Dagger.
Naturally, the difficulty of learning them is also extremely high.
But now.
tan san was confident that it would only take him three to five days to master these two secret arts of spiritual awareness attack.
This was thanks to the principles of spiritual awareness operation that he had comprehended and mastered by using the tiger demon.
“This is the difference between mastering the ‘technique’ and mastering the ‘way’.
If you only master the ‘technique’, although you are extremely powerful in this technique, your methods will naturally be very single-minded.
But if you master the ‘way’, then you will be invincible when practising similar methods.
Naturally, you will be able to master more ‘techniques’, and your strength and methods will be much stronger.”
tan san still attached great importance to this point in his heart.
He also did not feel that this month of hard work was a waste.
Of course.
In addition to the four minor supernatural powers, tan san naturally did not forget the few minor supernatural powers he had previously mastered.
Almost every day, he would spend a certain amount of time practicing each of the minor supernatural powers and his other techniques and methods.
In particular, the two minor supernatural powers of Poison Lingbo and Wuji Divine Light.
In previous battles, they have both played a huge role.
Among them, Poison Lingbo has a very strong weakening effect on cultivators.
Originally, he didn’t take this technique too seriously, but when fighting, a mouthful of Poison Wave sprayed out, and the opponent’s original 100% strength could only be exerted at 80% immediately.
Moreover, various negative effects would greatly affect the opponent’s play, greatly increasing his advantage.
And Infinite Divine Light is a real attack minor miracle technique.
Although its power is slightly weaker than his 42 Flying Swords Array, that is only because at that time he had only cultivated this minor miracle technique to the realm of mastery.
However, its characteristic of being able to be used instantly often allows it to attack the enemy first.
When he sensed its benefits, naturally he wanted to improve it as quickly as possible.
The results were pleasing.
Among them, Poisonous Wave has been successfully improved to the realm of mastery. A single breath can reduce the opponent’s strength by at least 30%, and with the various negative effects, it is estimated that once it is hit, the opponent will be able to exert 60% of their strength.
As for the Limitless Divine Light, he has also cultivated it to the realm of minor accomplishment, but in fact, it is not far from being accomplished.
The power has of course increased a lot.
However, it is still not as good as his 42 Flying Swords Formation.
Because at this time, he has cultivated the 42 Flying Swords Formation to the realm of perfection.
The 42 Flying Swords Formation at the perfect level is naturally even more powerful and terrifying.
Before this, when his cultivation base reached the seventh level, his 42 Flying Swords Formation was already comparable to the full power strike of a cultivator at the ninth level of cultivation.
Now that it has reached the perfect level, its power is at least equivalent to the full power strike of a cultivator at the pinnacle of the ninth level of cultivation.
In fact, it is definitely even stronger.
It is estimated that even compared to a strike from a talisman, it is not much weaker.
“The 42 Flying Swords Formation at the perfection level is comparable to a talisman attack.
But what about the 48 Flying Swords Formation?
Or even the 54 Flying Swords Formation?”
tan san also felt a little helpless in his heart.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation base had broken through, and his spiritual awareness had also increased greatly, naturally, the number of flying swords he could control at the same time had also increased greatly.
Then he discovered that the strength of his spiritual awareness was directly at the level of practicing the 48 Flying Swords Formation.
And soon, as his understanding of the use of his spiritual awareness deepened, he discovered that with the same spiritual awareness, the number of flying swords he could control increased substantially.
In this way,
he was able to directly cultivate the 54 Flying Swords Formation.
In other words, he actually already had the ability to directly repair An Ni’s 54 Flying Swords Formation.
However, tan san has always cultivated step by step, one step at a time.
Especially in the absence of any danger.
Therefore, although he was able to directly practice the 54 Flying Swords Formation, he still focused more on practicing the 48 Flying Swords Formation.
At this time, he also subsequently cultivated this sword formation method to the level of minor accomplishment.
Its power was almost on par with the 42 Flying Swords Formation at the level of perfection.
Naturally, it was also much stronger than the Infinite Divine Light.
“Three months.
Overall, my strength has not increased much.
But it has completely and suddenly boosted my strength to the seventh level of foundation building, and it has filled in the gaps.
At least in terms of attack and defense, it has improved a lot compared to before.
I have truly acquired the strength of a late-stage foundation-building cultivator.
In terms of performance, I will not be much worse off than I was at the fourth level of foundation building.”
tan san thought silently, still quite satisfied with these three months of secluded cultivation.
It is worth mentioning that the “how much worse” he imagined was not a comparison of strength, but rather an overall state.
For example, when he was at the fourth level of foundation building, he already had the strength of a seventh level foundation builder, and he was not afraid at all when facing an eighth level foundation builder, and was even able to defeat them in battle.
Now, his cultivation has reached the seventh level of foundation building.
So when facing a ninth level foundation builder, he will no longer be as hard pressed as he was three months ago, and he can easily defeat them and quickly kill them.
If strength is used as the basis for calculation, he estimates that he should be considered to be among the most powerful of the small group of people at the foundation level.
He can be considered to be at the pinnacle of the foundation level.
Below that are the first, second, and third levels…
If calculated in this way, that Liu Gui should be considered to be of the third level of strength at the foundation-laying stage. Don’t look at the third level of strength as nothing, but with the opponent’s Shadow True Body and his mastery of the mysterious assassination techniques, his strength at the ninth level of foundation-laying is already very formidable.
At least, an ordinary ninth-level foundation-laying cultivator is simply no match for him.
As for Ye Yanshu.
He is almost considered to be of the second level of the ninth level of foundation-laying.
He has mastered the true body of foundation building, cultivated minor supernatural powers, and has few weaknesses in all aspects of his methods. No wonder before, tan san used the causal will technique to calculate that there was only a slight possibility of defeating the opponent with fifteen of himself.
You have to know that at the time, tan san had already built a foundation, and he considered his methods to be not weak at the foundation building level.
“However, in today’s eyes, this kind of strength can indeed only be considered the second level among the nine levels of foundation building.
Because above that is the realm of the strong.
The realm of swordsmanship, the realm of spiritual awareness, the realm of spells…Only those cultivators who have cultivated to the extreme in a certain aspect and mastered the realm can be considered to be of the first level.
The realm is too powerful for cultivators to improve their strength.”
The more tan san cultivated, the more he understood this point.
Although he had not truly cultivated a certain realm.
The realm of swordsmanship was only in its infancy, and the realm of spiritual awareness was just getting started, and it was still a little short of becoming an infant.
It was only because his true essence power was too condensed, and his magical and supernatural abilities were so powerful due to his high realm level, that they were so powerful.
The higher the skill level, the more terrifying the naturally manifested power.
This was also the reason why he believed he was above average and had reached the pinnacle level.
“However, the pinnacle level is not the same as the formation of a dan.
Without the formation of a dan, there is still a lot of room for improvement.”
tan san felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he thought about this.
He still felt immense pressure from the previous aura of the several Dan Realm cultivators.
Although, with the help of the current Shuo Di Cheng Cun, which has reached the level of Xiaocheng, he has a great advantage in terms of speed, and ordinary Dan Realm cultivators cannot catch up.
However, it does not mean that all Dan Realm cultivators are weaker than him in terms of speed.
After all, the methods of minor supernatural powers and even supernatural powers are not only practiced by cultivators at the Foundation Building Realm.
A Dan Realm cultivator who practices these minor magical skills and even magical methods will be even faster. Coupled with the power of the Dan yuan, the power level is far superior to that of a foundation-laying cultivator.
For the same magical power, the minor magical power of the opponent is definitely much stronger than that of the foundation-laying cultivator.
In the eyes of those Dan Realm cultivators who have cultivated speed-related minor magical skills, tan san’s speed is nothing.
And in terms of actual combat power,
the pinnacle of foundation-laying cultivation is of course no match for Dan Realm cultivation!
Even if this Dan-sealing is only at the early stage of Dan-sealing.
“Therefore, I actually have to start considering Dan-sealing now!”
tan san pondered.
His gaze gradually became clearer.
Previously, he had instinctively cultivated various magical powers to strengthen his cultivation strength.
Even after his cultivation level had reached the seventh level of foundation building, he deeply felt that his strength was insufficient, and he desperately cultivated various minor magical methods to enhance his own methods while improving his strength as much as possible.
But until this moment.
He felt that his cultivation had come to an end, and that the next step would be to follow the prescribed path. As he pondered, he suddenly understood his next path of cultivation.
Form a dan!
Don’t form a dan.
You will always be a low-level cultivator.
Even if you reach the pinnacle of cultivation, you will still be a mortal.
Only by forming a dan can you be called a true immortal.
Only then will you truly have a certain say in the cultivation world, and your status and identity will be greatly enhanced.
The cultivation world has always respected strength.
A true immortal at the stage of condensing a丹 is often synonymous with strength.
Any true immortal at the stage of condensing a丹 is strong enough to crush a cultivator at the stage of foundation-laying.
tan san naturally also focused his attention on this aspect.
“Thanks to the Divine Spirit Liquid, I actually don’t need to worry too much about cultivation.
It also doesn’t take much time.
Once I reach the realm, I can directly use the Divine Spirit Liquid to improve my cultivation.
Therefore, what I really need to prepare for now is actually the formation of a dan.
And, the formation of a dan spirit object!”
tan san was quite distressed about this.
Because, although his Pure Yang Five Elements Technique was a top-notch cultivation method, it also contained the Foundation Building Chapter.
However, there was no subsequent cultivation method level.
That is, the Dan Formation Chapter.
Without a subsequent cultivation method, his cultivation would naturally be affected.
Just like the Golden Fire Tao Cultivation Method he had obtained before.
It is also a top-notch method, because it has a cultivation part at the level of Dan-jinding. Therefore, it not only gives a detailed introduction to the matters that need attention when a cultivator at the ninth level of foundation building condenses a dan, but also uses this introduction to explain that when condensing a golden dan, gathering several dan-condensing spiritual objects will increase the probability of condensing a better golden dan.
If you gather three Dan-nurturing spiritual objects, you have a 50% chance of success and directly achieving the lower third-grade virtual Dan.
If you gather six Dan-nurturing spiritual objects, you have a 30% chance of directly condensing into the middle third-grade real Dan.
If you gather nine Dan-nurturing spiritual objects, you have a 10% chance of directly condensing into the upper third-grade golden Dan.
It is written directly on the surface, simple and straightforward.
This is of great significance for the guidance of cultivation.
However, tan san did not have a corresponding Dan-nurturing chapter.
Although after he cultivated to the ninth level of the foundation stage, he was also able to forcibly condense a pill,
without this aspect of guidance, then the pill he condenses will almost certainly be a lower-grade virtual pill.
This is unacceptable.
“If that’s the case, I’ll just have to change my cultivation method?”
tan san of course also had a corresponding five element cultivation method, and was able to directly cultivate to the ninth level of the pill condensing realm.
This method, called the Five Element Rotation Method, was considered a high-grade method.
However, practicing this method of cultivation can only condense a medium-grade third-level real dan at best, which is certainly not enough for tan san, who has always pursued the ultimate in power.
“Perhaps, I can post a reward?
By the way, I still have the opportunity to go to the city lord’s mansion once to watch and choose an inheritance.
Perhaps among the Qin family, there is the top-level Five Elements method of cultivation inheritance I need.”
tan san hesitated, his eyes involuntarily twitching.
Then, very quickly, he decided to do both at the same time.
Both the reward and the trip to the Qin family in the city lord’s mansion to select a top-level Five Elements technique…
