I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 170 Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower

Kunwu Mountain!
The original Demon-Suppressing Tower has been completely abandoned because there are no more demons to suppress here.

Therefore, Xiao Wuji began to undertake a major overhaul of the Demon Suppression Tower.

He first dropped a newly extracted Fallen Heart Flame at the bottom of the Demon Suppression Tower, and then set up an extremely complicated spirit-gathering array in Kunwu Mountain, gathering all the spiritual energy in the entire Kunwu Mountain here.

Next, Xiao Wuji channeled some spiritual energy to nourish the Fallen Heart Flame, enabling it to continuously generate heart fire. Finally, he built small cubicles within the Demon Suppression Tower for cultivators to practice in.

Finally, to ensure the concentration of spiritual energy here, Xiao Wuji placed all the spiritual eye items he had collected in recent years into the Demon Suppression Center.

According to Xiao Wuji's estimate, this place can support the cultivation of at least a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators at once. If it were filled with cultivators of lower cultivation levels, the number would only increase.

From then on, Xiao Wuji officially renamed this Demon Suppression Tower to the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower!

The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower is extremely useful for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, but Xiao Wuji could not allow those Nascent Soul cultivators whose future was over to occupy this place for nothing.

Therefore, Xiao Wuji also established rules: Nascent Soul cultivators could only cultivate in the one hundred rooms on the sixth to eighth floors, Core Formation cultivators could only cultivate in the one thousand rooms on the third to fifth floors, and Foundation Establishment cultivators could cultivate in the five thousand rooms on the first to third floors. Those below Foundation Establishment were not allowed to enter this tower.

As for the ninth level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, it can only be temporarily occupied when breaking through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage or the bottleneck of the Deity Transformation stage, and the maximum period of occupation shall not exceed three years.

Those who can enter this tower to cultivate must be exceptionally talented; only in this way can resources be conserved. After all, his resources don't come easily.

To help some people achieve a more stable breakthrough, Xiao Wuji often came to this spacious ninth floor to help them build their foundation.

……

Since the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was completed, Xiao Wuji felt that his life had suddenly become very busy.

Every now and then, I have to come to the bottom of this Qi Refining Tower and expend some energy.

"Yanfei, you and the Moon Goddess, make sure you catch this!"

Xiao Wuji pulled the blood-stained divine weapon from Gao Yue's body and applied a thick layer of facial mask to Yan Fei. Then he summoned the Moon Goddess to clean up the battlefield.

After handing the tear-streaked Gao Yue to the Moon Goddess, Xiao Wuji headed towards the battlefield between the Great Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Yan Fei, "Your daughter is no good. It's one thing that she doesn't have your talent, but she also doesn't have your charm!"

Soon, with Xiao Wuji's help, Shao Siming, who never spoke, also uttered a melodious voice like a nightingale, which unconsciously immersed people in it.

In this ninth floor, apart from a secret room for cultivation, the rest of the place was empty, with only a layer of silk-like animal skin carpet on the floor.

At the center of the animal skin carpet, Nongyu, her face flushed with rosy cheeks, plays the zither; Xue Nu, dressed only in silk, performs the graceful dance; Jing Ni and her daughter dance with swords; the Mi Lian sisters dance with Hua Ying; Yan Ling Ji performs the flying dance; Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er practice yoga; and the Zhu family sisters dribble a ball…

The sheer variety of women dazzled Xiao Wuji, who kept moving among them.

All the women present were Nascent Soul cultivators, and some had even reached the late Nascent Soul stage. Among them, Yan Fei, Yue Shen, and Shui Bing'er were only half a step away from becoming Divine Transformation cultivators.

As the Ice and Snow Maiden continued to capture monsters from the Ice Sea and the Fiery Hell, the number of Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Arrays in her possession increased. Almost everyone above the Core Formation stage was granted the right to use one Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Array.

These women, who had been intimate with him, received special care, making it easy for them to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. The reason they stood out among countless women was that each of them had comprehended the Dao.

Some people have only grasped a smattering of the Tao, while others have grasped several aspects of the Tao.

However, none of these people can compare to the one who is currently in seclusion in a secret chamber, breaking through to a higher level. In just over two hundred years, he has already comprehended five minor paths, and one of them has even reached the realm of the Dao. And this is only the limit of his divine status, not the limit of his comprehension.

Such comprehension astonished even Xiao Wuji. Once this woman emerges from seclusion, her strength will likely surpass even his own.

As spiritual energy began to converge into the secret chamber, Xiao Wuji knew that his breakthrough had begun. Several days later, a white-haired girl with her hair tied in a Taoist bun slowly walked out of the secret chamber, glanced at the decadent main hall, and then walked towards Xiao Wuji on the muddy ground.

Congratulations, Xiaomeng!

Seeing the stains on Xiaomeng's jade feet, Xiao Wuji pressed his hand on the carpet, and a flash of light appeared, making the floor clean and tidy again.

"Ok!"

Xiaomeng nodded without changing her expression, walked slowly to Xiao Wuji's side, took aim, and straddled him.

While enduring the discomfort within her body, Xiaomeng said intermittently, "Hmph! My cultivation technique, um, has reached its limit. Ah, does Master possess even more profound cultivation techniques..."

Seeing Xiaomeng's furrowed brows, Xiao Wuji felt a sense of accomplishment. He lay back on the carpet, his eyes slightly narrowed, following the ball's movements. He appeared quite content.

"More advanced water-attribute techniques will probably require going to the Upper Realm! From now on, you should focus on cultivating 'Water Source Notes' and 'Hundred Rivers Divine Technique'."

"As for the Nascent Soul stage, it's not too late to cultivate it after ascension!"

Xiaomeng was practicing a water-attribute cultivation technique, which had already reached its limit at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although he had other cultivation techniques that could lead him to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, changing his cultivation technique at this moment was not a wise move.

None of those cultivation methods are as suitable for her as the one she's currently practicing. Besides, it's better to wait until she reaches a certain level and switch to a more profound cultivation method, rather than changing it now. This will save her from constantly switching methods and affecting her cultivation.

Furthermore, the later stages of the Nascent Soul path have many drawbacks, so it's best to focus on cultivation methods in the Wilderness World.

Xiaomeng had already practiced both the Immortal-level Qi Refining Method "Water Source Infusion" and the Divine Demon Body Refining Method "Hundred Rivers Divine Technique," but she had only reached the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. Without resources, the cultivation speed of Qi Refining wasn't necessarily faster than that of Divine Demon Body Refining.

"Hmm~"

After getting the answer she wanted, Xiaomeng immediately got up, showing no regard for Xiao Wuji's feelings whatsoever.

"Hey, you've got me stuck in this awkward position, it's really uncomfortable!"

"I need to stabilize my cultivation level, so you should find someone else first!"

Xiao Wuji was somewhat speechless at Xiaomeng's attitude. For someone so devoted to the Dao, it seemed to make little difference whether she was converted or not. Although he could order her to continue, that would be pointless.

Watching Xiaomeng walk back to the secret room, Xiao Wuji also lay down again on Nongyu's head cushion, watching Yanfei forcefully press Gaoyue's head down.

Among the women present, apart from Nongyu, only Ayan and Gaoyue, whom he had raised since childhood, had not been converted by him. However, the education they had received since childhood did not allow them to have any rebellious thoughts.

The same applies to those living in the caged world. Even though the previous generation, whom he had converted, had all grown old, the new generation continued the rules of the previous generation. Even if there were occasional rebels, they were quickly dealt with by Bibi Dong and her daughter.

Speaking of the "native inhabitants" of the Cage World, after the first generation passed away, no one was able to awaken a Martial Soul. Instead, a very small number of them developed Spiritual Roots. It seems they have been completely assimilated by this world.

However, as generations passed away, the beliefs in the cage world became increasingly complex. Fortunately, more and more cultivators were being converted by the second primordial spirit, and he no longer cared about the benefits of these mortals.

Seeing Yanfei's heartbroken expression as she wiped away Gao Yue's tears, Xiao Wuji grew to love his life even more.

"Everyone says that raising Jingni and Yanfei is like raising someone else's daughter, but to me it looks more like raising a child bride."
