Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 311 Do you all still think we have a chance to ambush and kill him? (4K)

"I never expected that I would actually obtain a fourth-tier cultivation technique so easily."

Xiao Chen checked the new cultivation technique again and couldn't help but feel happy: "As expected, there is now a cultivation world, and the opportunities to obtain resources have also increased."

"Now we have the cultivation method as a foundation."

"The next step is to put the training of the Crimson Sky Mountain-Splitting Palm on the agenda."

Only after mastering this fourth-tier spell that he acquired early on could he be considered to have truly completed the transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, even if one possesses a high cultivation level, without corresponding spells, one will inevitably suffer losses when facing other Nascent Soul cultivators.

The reason why Xiao Chen insisted on waiting until he obtained the cultivation technique before considering practicing magic was that...

This is because the order of these two items is inherently very important.

The so-called "method" naturally requires "skill" first, then "method".

To use an analogy, it's like a bed: you have to have the bed first, then the mattress. Only then can they fit together perfectly.

If it's the other way around, the sizes might be different, meaning they won't fit together properly.

This is also a common problem with Xuan-level and Huang-level cultivation techniques.

Most of the time, they require the monks to practice other spells to compensate for the deficiencies.

Those spells must also avoid interfering with or conflicting with each other.

In contrast, Heavenly-level inheritances come with a number of accompanying spells.

They not only do not interfere with each other, but also help each other and enhance each other, often creating a synergistic effect where one plus one is greater than two.

Furthermore, spells that share a common origin will be mastered after the first one is learned.

The speed of practicing the second and third times will naturally be much faster.

Of course, the situation of practitioners is complex, and no lineage can be perfect.

Even cultivators with Heavenly-level techniques sometimes need to cultivate additional auxiliary spells with specific functions to expand their abilities.

For example, the secret techniques of divine sense are separate from cultivation methods.

In addition, there is another, even more crucial reason.

That is, Xiao Chen has now broken through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.

Prior to this, the connections between the techniques were relatively weak.

Even for a Golden Core cultivator, if they insist on taking an unconventional path and focus solely on cultivating spells, it's not entirely impossible.

However, starting from the Nascent Soul True Monarch level, cultivators will truly attempt to 'comprehend' a certain Great Dao.

The spells they practice naturally carry with them the cultivator's own rudimentary understanding of the Dao.

This is also a major reason why Golden Core cultivators are basically unable to fight against Nascent Soul True Monarchs who are of a higher level.

Previously, Xiao Chen had encountered the Taixu Cloud Light Barrier used by the Dai family patriarch on Tianxing Island.

For this reason, the monks present at the time unanimously believed that he would definitely be helpless.

That is precisely why.

If Xiao Chen were to cultivate the Crimson Sky Mountain-Splitting Palm before obtaining the cultivation technique, he would be unable to incorporate his own insights into it.

After all, there are no cultivation methods to refer to or guide them.

To this day, he has not been able to truly clarify the direction of his own cultivation.

Don't underestimate this point; the direction is extremely crucial.

Sometimes, the right direction is more important than hard work.

So what should be the direction of cultivation?
In essence, it's just different subdivisions of different types within the framework of the Great Way.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs claim to be comprehending the Great Dao, but in order to reduce the difficulty of actual comprehension, they often only delve into a small branch.

For example, the True Lord of Die Lang is a good example.

Judging from his straightforward Buddhist name, he should possess the water elemental root.

However, directly choosing the main road of water was undoubtedly too difficult, so they took a small branch related to overlapping or ocean waves.

Therefore, even though Xiao Chen had never seen the other party make a move.

But it's fairly easy to guess that the opponent is either using a fast sword, emphasizing continuous sword movements, like waves surging one after another.

They either wield heavy swords, emphasizing the continuous layering of sword techniques, each layer higher and stronger than the last.

Of course, which option will be chosen is definitely a top secret, so it's hard to guess.

Who knows, the other person might be exceptionally intelligent and be able to combine both approaches.

In general, most Nascent Soul True Monarchs cultivate a small branch of a certain Great Dao.

The specifics depend on both the cultivator's personal preferences and the cultivation techniques they possess.

Xiao Chen wasn't particularly picky about cultivation techniques; he didn't have any particular favorites or dislikes.

Therefore, he practiced whatever was recorded in the manual he had.

The main idea is to be easygoing, or rather, adaptable.

"Speaking of which, this new cultivation method doesn't seem to have a name yet."

Xiao Chen had already read it twice, but the two silk scarves never mentioned the name of the cultivation technique.

This is mainly because, in the eyes of the previous generation of True Monarch Guiyun, this new technique was a half-finished product that had failed to be improved.

Therefore, there was no time to name it.

Only at the very beginning, through a footnote, it is revealed that its inspiration came from another Heaven-level cultivation technique of the Guiyun Sect—the "Tongming Changsheng Jing".

Because he was not a cultivator of the Guiyun Sect.

Therefore, Xiao Chen was completely unaware of the characteristics of the original cultivation technique.

It can only be inferred that it originally followed the method of "symbiosis" between plants and trees.

However, based on his judgment after reading it twice, this new technique has completely changed its approach.

The main approach is likely to follow the path of wood, leaning towards grafting or substitution.

To cultivate this technique, one must comprehend the true meaning of 'grafting' plants.

Xiao Chen could also tell from the annotations at the end.

The original purpose of Guiyun Zhenjun in developing this new technique was most likely to transfer the injuries he suffered to his enemies or even his disciples.

This is done in order to achieve the effect of healing oneself.

Of course, in actual combat, it can also be used to attack the enemy.

Therefore, this new technique not only comes with a spell called "The Disaster Relief Technique".

It has absolutely no other features, or rather, during the development process, all the irrelevant things were consciously removed.

"That's right, a very concise approach."

Xiao Chen immediately recalled the "Myriad Manifestations Rejuvenation Scripture" that he had cultivated before, which also had no other effects besides the "Great Rejuvenation Technique".

To put it nicely, the goals of these Yellow-level cultivation techniques are quite clear.

However, it can also be understood that the Yellow-level cultivation technique is a scaled-down version of the normal cultivation technique.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can cultivate it, it's a good technique.

"Since you brought with you the 'Disaster Relief Technique,' then from now on we'll call you the 'Disaster Relief Skill.'"

Xiao Chen gave the new cultivation technique a name and then put it away.

"We'll study the details when we get back to our cultivation."

He had already planned to return to Ji'e Island after obtaining the cultivation technique.

Now that we've achieved the first step, there's no need to stay here any longer.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen immediately returned to the restaurant and ordered another serving of spirit fish.

Strangely enough, he noticed that several Golden Core disciples from the Guiyun Sect were still guarding the stairwell leading to the third floor. It seemed that the Nascent Soul True Monarchs were still eating.

Keep in mind that several hours had already passed since they went up to the private room on the third floor.

It takes you this long to eat a meal? Are you really here to investigate the cultivation technique?

Xiao Chen muttered a curse in his heart, but did not continue to care about these trivial matters.

Anyway, he was already prepared to leave, so whatever happened in Guiyun Market was no longer his concern.

"Boom~!"

However, just as Xiao Chen was about to leave with Lingyu, a loud bang suddenly erupted outside the restaurant.

Then, a series of explosions rang out.

The direction seems to be towards the location of the market warehouse.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Chen immediately wanted to use his divine sense to investigate, but he quickly realized that it was inconvenient here, so he suppressed his actions in time.

At the same moment, several powerful divine senses surged out from the third floor without any concealment.

In an instant, they swept across the entire market, especially the warehouses.

The Golden Core cultivators in the restaurant also became nervous, and they all hurriedly stood up and used their true essence to dispel the effects of the alcohol.

Some people peered out the window, while others went straight down to the first floor, ready to leave at any moment.

However, the divine senses on the third floor were quickly withdrawn.

Although the sounds of colliding spells could still be heard from the direction of the warehouse, they had weakened considerably.

At the same time, a not-so-strong fluctuation of spiritual energy also came over, indicating that what was happening there was merely a conflict between Golden Core cultivators.

"It's the warehouse again. Could it be that the Soul Thief has returned?"

"Impossible, right? Are they coming back to die?"

"Sigh, I finally got to enjoy a good drink, what a disappointment."

Everyone immediately felt much more relaxed. This level of change had little impact on those who were generally at the Golden Core stage.

None of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the third floor showed up; the situation was clearly under control, so they didn't bother to intervene personally.

Only Xiao Chen secretly rejoiced that he had already obtained the cultivation technique.

There's no need to worry about unforeseen changes now.

In addition, the defensive array within the market has not been activated, and cultivators can still come and go freely. It's not too late to leave now.

Without bothering to stay and watch the excitement, Xiao Chen immediately quickened his pace and left Guiyun Market without any hesitation.

Then turn back in the direction you came from.

I've only been here a few days and I've already encountered two attacks that seem to be from spirit thieves. This world seems a bit unstable.

However, considering the sparse spiritual energy here, the derogatory term "ground rat," and the unusually large number of rogue cultivators at the Golden Core stage, this is not an issue.

As a result, similar incidents are bound to occur more frequently.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's fortunate that there wasn't a battle at the Nascent Soul level, otherwise, with the defensive array activated, it probably wouldn't have been easy to escape."

Judging from that, he's actually quite lucky.

At least they didn't encounter any Nascent Soul cultivators and thus weren't affected.

However, not far from Xiao Chen, several True Monarchs were standing under a large pine tree at the top of the hill.

They concealed their figures with a secret technique and all looked up at him, observing him intently.

"Such rich and potent blood energy! No wonder he's a cultivator from the Holy City!"

The gloomy-looking cultivator next to him stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "If I could eat him, it would definitely boost my cultivation a lot."

His eyes lit up as he spoke, as if he had spotted some delicious food.

Xiao Chen's figure quickly disappeared into the horizon.

She couldn't help but turn to look at True Lord Su Bai, her tone still carrying a hint of resentment: "What did I tell you?"

“The cultivators from the Holy City appear to be polite and respectful on the surface.”

"In reality, they looked down on all the monks living outside and disdained to walk alongside outsiders."

"As you all saw, there was no one secretly following or protecting him."

"If we had attacked together, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would have been no match for us."

However, Su Bai Zhenjun looked in the direction where Xiao Chen disappeared, a strong sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

He slowly let out a long sigh before replying unhurriedly, "I don't think so."

Ok?
His statement surprised those around him.

Are you kidding me? There were seven of them working together.

"Fellow Daoist Su Bai, have you noticed anything unusual?"

The Crimson-Clad True Monarch immediately inquired, "Could it be that the other party has concealed his appearance and true strength, or perhaps he is a member of one of the Seven Great Clans?"

The other True Lords nearby also looked over, their eyes filled with doubt.

They had each used their own methods to probe and sense each other as much as possible without alerting the other.

Judging from his cultivation level, Xiao Chen is clearly only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his own strength is definitely not very high.

However, everyone also knew that although True Lord Su Bai was the youngest, he was the strongest among them, and his detection methods were unparalleled.

That's why everyone trusted him to be the one to command the operation.

"He didn't hide his appearance; that was his true face."

Su Bai Zhenjun's tone carried a hint of heartfelt envy: "All I could see was that he was very young, extremely young."

"do you know?"

His gaze swept over everyone: "I just used the bone-measuring technique, and the result is that he is not yet thirty years old."

Do you all still think we have a chance to ambush and kill him?

Everyone was silent.

Those present were all Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so they were naturally very clear about how difficult it was to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

And it's important to understand that even if they have already achieved success.

But looking back on the hardships they encountered along the way, as well as the opportunities and adventures they had, no one dares to say that if they could start over again, they would still be able to successfully form a Nascent Soul.

"Fellow Daoist Su Bai, you're not joking, are you?"

The burly man in black robes was utterly incredulous: "A Nascent Soul True Monarch who is not even thirty years old?"

If that were the case, it wouldn't matter what the other party's original identity or background was.

This must have already attracted the attention of the venerable ones in the holy city.

In other words, the other party must be carrying a considerable amount of life-saving items.

It's even possible that a Nascent Soul cultivator bestowed divine thoughts upon him.

Even if there were seven of them, let alone seven more, they still wouldn't be able to hold the other side.

Su Bai Zhenjun gave a wry smile: "Does Fellow Daoist Di Fu think it's necessary for me to deceive everyone about such a matter?"

Such a brilliant and talented person was born in the Holy City.

This undoubtedly casts a shadow over the future of the entire Reverse Immortal Alliance.

"If only he were one of us, why did he have to be... sigh!"

"Hahaha, everyone talks about cause and effect, but if Heaven has eyes, why does it favor the cultivators of the Holy City so much?"

"Fellow Daoist Su Bai, this matter must be informed to the Alliance Leader immediately. Such a prodigy must not be allowed to grow unchecked; we must nip him in the bud!"
