Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 946 I was here

After a hearty meal, Ji An sat down cross-legged and began to examine his body.

On the surface, he didn't seem to have suffered any injuries during this breakthrough, but that wasn't the case. Most of the outermost layer of skin showed signs of necrosis, and there were many tiny tears and burns in the muscles.

These wounds looked small, but they were surrounded by a very faint black aura, which would be impossible for anyone who was not a cultivator at the Three Flowers Realm to detect.

That being said, if he hadn't broken through to the Three Flowers Realm, he would have been done with it all and wouldn't have needed to worry about these things at all.

Fortunately, the bones were not damaged, and by the time the lightning reached this point, it no longer had the power to cause enough damage; instead, it had a positive effect.

Previously, his bone surface was covered with flame and thunder patterns, but now these patterns have become extremely dull, with many white cloud patterns appearing instead.

The originally white jade-colored bones have now turned dark, with a faint gray tinge emerging.

This is a normal phenomenon. The bones of cultivators in the Three Flowers Realm will turn black, as evidenced by the black jade skeleton he obtained back then.

However, the reason for the extra cloud patterns on his skeleton is unknown.

The ink jade skeleton that Ji An obtained had completely turned into a lustrous black, indicating that the cultivator's cultivation level should have reached the late stage of the Three Flowers Realm.

In the lower dantian, the golden primordial fire changed, becoming layered, with the core of the flame faintly white and the outer flame slightly black.

One day, the flame of one's life will turn into two distinct colors, black and white, which will indicate that one's cultivation has entered the late stage of the Three Flowers Realm.

The true characteristic of this realm being perfect is the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head, at which point one has the potential to break through to the next realm.

The Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame and the Netherworld Bone Flame are brighter in color than before. Now that his cultivation has broken through, these two spiritual flames will receive better nourishment, and their power will become even stronger in the future.

The obtained black jade skeleton is almost impossible to burn. As his cultivation level continues to improve, he will be able to burn the skeleton.

He will do this once he has fully figured out the secrets of the skeleton. The skeleton of a late-stage Three Flowers Realm cultivator contains extremely rich energy, which will provide the best nourishment for the Gathering Yuan Tree.

The stone tortoise lay motionless, the innate Bagua diagram on its carapace becoming much fainter. It was currently undergoing a transformation, and it was unknown when it would awaken.

Ji An continued his internal observation and saw that the Qi and Blood Golden Pill in his middle dantian had grown larger and its color had become brighter, like gold shimmering in the sunlight.

Unbeknownst to him, his body cultivation had improved considerably. He understood that this was a natural enhancement brought about by the improvement in his cultivation. As his magical power was further refined, as long as the opportunity came, his body cultivation ability would be able to break through to the level of a Three-Flower Realm body cultivator.

There were also obvious changes in the upper dantian. Previously, the area outside the Guanghan Palace was a dark night, but now the darkness has dissipated considerably, as if light has emerged at dawn.

Ji An nodded in satisfaction. The damage to his body was not serious. He could recover after a few years of nourishment with the magic power of the Three Flowers Realm level.

Instead of nourishing his body immediately, he activated his magic power, and golden crystal sand flowed from the fingertips of his nascent soul. The changes in these crystal sands were similar to those of the primordial fire, also showing a tendency to change into black and white.

The cultivation of the Three Flowers Realm is based on understanding the transformation of Yin and Yang, and this will be the foundation of the entire stage.

He withdrew the magic crystal sand and used a special incantation to perform internal visualization.

The view was completely different now; before, he had seen a body, but now he saw a humanoid ray of light.

A faint fluorescence emanates from the body surface, extending more than a foot beyond the skin; this can be seen as a reflection of the life magnetic field.

If this were his past life, a camera would be unable to capture his current appearance; the powerful life magnetic field would distort many things.

In fact, similar research was conducted on Earth in the past, which was called human aura. Special observation methods were needed to detect this light, and changes in emotions would cause changes in the color of the aura.

His life magnetic field glows white with a slight yellowish tinge, and will eventually turn golden yellow.

The skin and muscles on the body surface are pale red, while the bones become black and glowing.

Each of the Five Elements Divine Palaces retains the color of the Five Elements' power, while the Immortal Vein becomes a lustrous white.

These lights were not bright, but very lustrous, with a sense of vigorous growth.

If there is a problem with the body, the color of the aura will become dim, and it will exude a sense of decay.

Full of anticipation, Ji An took out the inheritance jade slip to check the information inside and found an extra paragraph.

If you can see this sentence, then congratulations on reaching a new level. Only by breaking through to the three environments can this information be activated.

People are different. At the beginning of cultivation, cultivators do not need customized cultivation methods, but as their cultivation level continues to improve, individual differences become more and more obvious. At this time, we need to adjust our cultivation methods according to our own situation.

The cultivation method left below can only complete the initial stage of the Three Flowers Realm. The path beyond that depends entirely on your own efforts.

Finally, the senior's signature was left—Xingyue. This should be the third Xingyue True Lord of the Five Elements Sect to successfully walk the path of 'Five Elements Reincarnation and the Unity of All Laws'.

The other party explained that the cultivation of the Three Flowers Realm is a completely new model, where the improvement of cultivation relies not on spiritual energy, but on a higher level of Yin and Yang energy.

Spiritual energy is just one manifestation of Yin and Yang energy. It is entirely possible to refine spiritual energy into Yin and Yang power, but this kind of cultivation is very inefficient.

The entire cultivation process of refining essence into qi and refining qi into spirit is for laying a foundation, so that the cultivator's body and soul can withstand the erosion of yin and yang forces.

Ji An carefully studied the exercise, pondering whether there were any hidden meanings within it, and slowly deciphering the changes.

The shadow of the Five Elements Revolving Sutra can still be vaguely seen in this technique, but the leap is much larger than before. It transforms the power of the Five Elements into a transformation of Yin and Yang, providing a new interpretation of the previous cultivation.

The spells you learned before will need to be cast using new techniques to greatly enhance their power.

If you can't figure out the release method, those spells will be unable to be released after the mana in your body is completely transformed. The Star Moon Hermit left behind a method for how to release the spells, but he didn't leave behind any ready-made spells. I don't know if this counts as a small test.

Ji An guessed that the term "Sanren" was probably a humble term used by cultivators at the Three Flowers Realm, and cultivators at this level could be called "Sanxian".

In addition, Xingyue Sanren left behind a Three Flowers Realm spell called Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. He commented that, strictly speaking, it is not a true Three Flowers Realm spell. It is an extension of the Chaos Five Elements Thunder and a stepping stone to the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder.

Once this spell has been practiced to perfection, one can begin to deduce the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder.

Ji An was somewhat disappointed. What he wanted most now was the planting technique at the Three Flowers Realm level. Due to his mindset over the years, the most important thing was to raise the gourd world to the fifth level as soon as possible.

Several days later, Ji An arrived on the moon. The air here was thin, but the conditions were much better than in the starry sky. The temperature was much higher than outside the planet. Although it was not comparable to the conditions in the cultivation world, at least the living conditions were not as harsh as in the starry sky.

What he saw was a desolate place, with endless white sand covering the ground.

However, this place is not devoid of life; rather, it is home to many mushroom-like fungi that emit a faint white glow.

Ji An picked a few mushrooms and sealed them in a jade bottle. Then he put them into the Cave Void Stone to study later and see if these things could be grown in the Calabash World.

He released a golden light that seemed to pierce the earth, and his body transformed into a rainbow as he sped across the planet. There were undulating mountains and rivers, and the stones were only black and white.

There are not only mountains but also rivers, though the water is black, its depth completely obscured, and shrouded in a thin mist. There are also endless plains, the white dust likely being the moon's unique soil.

This soil contains yin energy. Ji An took out some seeds to try planting, but found that they withered quickly after germination, as the environment here could not support the life he brought.

He also discovered a strange phenomenon: there were all kinds of mushrooms, but no signs of any animals living there, and none in the river either, which was very unusual.

Ji An galloped on without stopping, his movement following a circular path. After surveying a land area with a radius of about 30,000 li and confirming that there were no animals there, he found a mountain peak to land on.

This is the highest mountain in the area, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

After landing, he habitually observed his surroundings and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha." His voice echoed through the mountains, and it was easy to tell that he was in a good mood.

It turned out that he had seen a stone wall with several lines of text carved on it.

Some of the characters have become blurred after years of weathering, but one line is very clear: "Miaoyou Sanren was here".

At this moment, Ji An was overjoyed and exclaimed in his heart that it was truly fate.

The moon is very large, perhaps smaller than the planet from which it emerged, but equally vast. Based on information observed before landing, it is much larger than the eastern continent.

In such a vast area, he was able to find information left by his deceased friend; how could it not be fate?

He walked to the stone wall, stretched out his finger and left his mark next to the clear writing: "Xuanqing Sanren was here."

The passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names.

The stone was hard, comparable to a high-grade third-tier metal, but it was meaningless to him.

Ji An spread his divine sense to sense the atmosphere here and found nothing unusual. He took out a third-tier low-grade sparrow puppet and released it. Then he entered the gourd world and disappeared from the spot instantly.

Beside the table under the Gathering Yuan Tree, the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord and Yue Ling'er were leisurely drinking wine.

Upon seeing Ji An return, the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords immediately rose and bowed:
"Your Majesty, have we reached the moon?"

"Ah."

"Haha, I want to go check out the situation here. Is it dangerous?"

Two days ago, the Five Sacred Mountains True Lord took the initiative to go out, but he only lasted for a dozen breaths before fleeing back in a sorry state.

The environment in the starry sky is not suitable for a great demon at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage; if it returns too late, it will become a corpse.

He sighed inwardly, 'What kind of migration must those demon races have to undergo to leave their original planets?'

"You can go out and see for yourself; the situation is much better."

Yue Ling'er stood up and said:

"Master, I'd like to go out and have a look too."

Two days ago, she also went out to experience the feeling of flying through the starry sky. In that environment, she was able to last a little longer, but only for two minutes. This made her realize how big the actual gap was between the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation and the perfect ninth level of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Ji An nodded slightly, watching the two of them leave. Then he picked up a new pair of chopsticks, ate a few peanuts, drank a jar of fourth-grade premium pine nut and mulberry wine, and leisurely lay down on the rattan chair.

Flying through the stars was very taxing, and after flying on the moon for more than an hour, he felt extremely tired—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

He fell fast asleep just half a minute later.

After waking up, he stretched and asked A-Yun, who was not far away:
"How long have I slept?"

Ayun stepped forward with graceful steps, releasing spiritual communication:
"About four hours."

Ji An sighed softly, "The harsh environment takes a huge toll on the body."

During the years he traveled before leaving the world of cultivation, even the harshest environments had little effect on him, but the environment of the starry sky was different.

He paused, then asked:
"Have the Five Sacred Mountains True Lords returned?"

"They'll be back in half an hour after the master went to sleep. They should be fishing by the lake now. Should we call them back?"

Ji An waved his hand gently, "No need, I'm relieved that they're back safe and sound."

He stood up and went to the Gathering Yuan Tree, where he began to cultivate using his technique.

The current cultivation method is called the Yin-Yang Cave True Technique, which can transform spiritual energy into Yin-Yang energy.

The moment the cultivation technique was activated, the spiritual energy in the entire small world began to converge towards the Gathering Yuan Tree, and the five elements of spiritual energy contained in the earth also gathered together.

This place transforms into an ocean of light, with all sorts of radiant lights swirling together, adorning this area into a beautiful fairytale world.

Because his refining speed was too fast, the vortex formed by the gathering of spiritual energy was only a little over three acres in size.

As spiritual energy enters the body, it travels along the immortal veins to the first stage of processing. The vein patterns on the surface of the Five Elements Divine Palaces radiate light, while the surface of the Dao Seed flickers with lightning, endlessly enacting the transformation of Yin and Yang.

At any given moment, yin gives rise to yang, and yang gives rise to yin, dynamically maintaining a mysterious balance.

After three to four rounds of complete processing, the spiritual energy will transform into black and white mana crystals.

However, the color of the crystal sand is now somewhat dull and looks grayish.

The crystal sand traveled along the immortal meridians to the upper dantian, where the nascent soul seated in the Guanghan Palace manipulated hand seals to further refine the magical crystal sand.

The spiritual cloud above the Nascent Soul's head slowly rotated, radiating a moist spiritual light, like a spinning vortex.

Ji An's movements are now completely different from those of the Nascent Soul, like two independent work units, each efficiently completing its own task.

When his master began cultivating, Ayun took out several trays of fourth-grade top-quality sandalwood soul-nourishing incense and lit them. Now, his master's spiritual energy consumption rate during cultivation is much faster than that of the Nascent Soul stage, so he must light many trays of spiritual incense to maintain a long enough cultivation time.

Fortunately, Ji An had accumulated a large amount of Soul Incense in previous years, which could last for more than ten years if used freely.

Wisps of smoke rose, carrying a delicate fragrance, and the smoke could be clearly seen gathering in his direction.
