Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 513 Walking Between Yin and Yang (Seeking Subscriptions)

Under the gentle baptism of divine lightning current, Shen Xuan's soul began to change, becoming more solid, pure, and resilient.

A faint blue electric light appeared on the surface of the soul, with a trace of the majestic and righteous aura of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

Throughout the entire process, Shen Xuan handled it with ease and composure.

It was completely different from the tragic scene of ordinary cultivators facing nine deaths and one life during soul tempering.

A bolt of divine lightning was tempered for a full hour.

Shen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of lightning seeming to pass through them.

His divine sense swept across a radius of a thousand feet, becoming clearer and more acute than before, and its range also expanded slightly.

"Cultivating with the Absolute Lightning Dao Body in conjunction with the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique] has indeed yielded twice the results with half the effort, and success has come naturally."

Shen Xuan felt that his spiritual power had increased by about one or two-thousandths during this cultivation.

"Even without the Purple Essence Soul Nourishing Pill, a strong soul leads to enhanced divine sense."

In this way, Shen Xuan successfully overcame the last obstacle to condensing his golden core.

……

The days passed by.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Flying Dragon Island.

The summit of the main peak.

After tempering his soul with divine lightning, Shen Xuan looked down at the market on Flying Dragon Island and felt quite emotional.

In the past two years, Feilong Island Market has become increasingly prosperous.

Xiao Changbing, Ding Yijin, and others were extremely busy.

After rent and transaction taxes were reduced or waived, families of repairmen from the nearby sea area flocked to the area.

Shen Xuan's fame spread far and wide to neighboring countries.

After Shen Xuan repeatedly refused visits from the surrounding island owners, many people took the initiative to contact Xiao Changbing.

To conduct trade between islands.

An island is equivalent to a small country.

The prices of various cultivation resources differ.

It is very necessary to develop trade that complements resources.

Xiao Changbing, Ding Yijin, and others certainly did not embezzle funds.

But you can also gain a lot of goodwill from it.

Shen Xuan would also take half of the profits earned from the trade and reward the staff involved.

He looked down on this output.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, however, it is something they would risk their lives for.

As time passed, Shen Xuan's path of cultivation went further and further.

Friends from the past will eventually become blurry shadows in our memories, fading into the distance.

Very normal.

No one can accompany him for a lifetime.

Shen Xuan was about to go down the mountain.

Suddenly, I felt something.

Upon opening the insect bag, a black cloud rose up with a "buzz".

There were nearly ten thousand Yin-devouring demonic insects.

Each one is about the size of an egg.

Most are mid-grade first-level, with a small number being high-grade first-level.

Shen Xuan has been cultivating the Yin-Devouring Demon Insects for seventy years.

I don't even know which generation this is.

Ordinary Yin-devouring demonic insects have short lifespans, ranging from several years to ten years.

When their numbers become too large, they attack and devour each other.

No matter how many times they reproduce, their numbers remain only around ten thousand.

Shen Xuan has been feeding his animals with the flesh and blood of demonic beasts and various ferocious spirits.

As combat power increases, the effectiveness of the Yin Devouring Demon Insects decreases significantly.

Like his three golden-bodied corpse beasts.

Shen Xuan then stopped trying to figure it out.

Occasionally, when I remember, I'll casually toss in some monster meat or throw in a few ghosts.

At this moment, he sensed that the five leaders of the Yin-Devouring Demon Insects were becoming increasingly violent.

These five Yin-Devouring Demon Insect Kings have been top-tier first-order insects for many years.

"Is he about to break through to the second tier?"

Shen Xuan seemed to be deep in thought.

The second-tier Yin-devouring demonic insects were also of little use to him.

However, after raising it for so long...

It's certainly a good thing that the Yin Devouring Demon Worm can break through to the second tier.

Shen Xuan released all the Yin-devouring demonic insects and imprisoned them within the formation.

The five strongest insect kings flew to Shen Xuan, hissing and circling with their wings flapping.

Shen Xuan flicked his finger, sending out five streams of refined spiritual energy into the bodies of the five Yin-Devouring Demon Insects.

Then, he took out a porcelain bottle and fed the Emperor's nectar inside.

The five Yin-Devouring Demon Insects fought over the Emperor's Flowing Essence, and their auras changed, their demonic power increasing.

These five Yin-devouring demonic insects should be from the first generation.

He is estimated to be in his seventies.

They were the only five that survived out of more than ten thousand Yin-devouring demonic insects back then.

It must be said that the advancement of insect demons is even more difficult than that of demon beasts.

They competed for the most ghosts and monster meat.

Each formed its own swarm.

Only today did the Yin-Devouring Demon Insects sense the changes in their bodies and request Shen Xuan's help to break through and advance.

This is their opportunity.

It is also their death throes.

a few days later.

Within the illusionary array atop the mountain.

The surrounding spiritual energy began to stir, surging wildly into the illusion array.

Various low-level demonic beasts nearby sensed the surge of spiritual energy and gathered around Shen Xuan to watch.

Shen Xuan unleashed the aura of a divine dragon, scaring these low-level demonic beasts so much that they fled in terror.

a few days later.

Strange insect chirping sounds emanated from within the illusion array.

He seemed extremely pleased with himself.

Then, two watermelon-sized Yin-devouring demonic insects flew out from the swarm first.

Following closely behind were a thousand Yin-devouring demonic insects.

Of the more than 10,000 Yin-devouring demonic insects, only more than 2,000 survived.

The remaining seven or eight thousand all died.

Shen Xuan removed the illusion array and looked at the corpses of the Yin-devouring demonic insects scattered on the ground. Suddenly, a surprising thought occurred to him.

He took out a bag of insects and collected all the corpses of the Yin-Devouring Demon Insects.

Then, he looked at the two swarms of insects.

A thought stirred within him.

The two second-tier Yin-devouring demonic insects immediately withdrew the fierce light in their eyes, replacing it with a fawning expression, and spread their wings to fly in front of Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan exerted a slight pressure, causing the two second-tier Yin-devouring demonic insects to tremble and fawn over him.

"After all, they are demonic insects with low intelligence."

"It's somewhat useful, let's keep it for now."

This time, the Devouring Yin Demon Insects advanced to a higher level, reducing their numbers by 80%. Shen Xuan estimated that as long as there was demon beast meat and Yin spirits, these two swarms would soon expand to over ten thousand.

They may look intimidating, but their combat capabilities are actually mediocre. They can only be used for environmental reconnaissance and as cannon fodder.

……

late at night.

In the practice room.

Shen Xuan looked at the mysterious jade talisman.

In the past two years, he has refined all the essence and blood of the Overturning Sea Dragon.

[Divine Treasure Ocean Technique: Great Success (368/1600)]

【Dongzhen Ice Heart Technique: Great Success (678/1600)】

[Immortal Slaying Water Qi Technique: Great Success (326/1600)]

[Talent: Dragon Blood Boiling (Perfected) (468/3200)]

【Daoyun: 301688】

[The White Bone Contemplation Inner Visualization Method: Completed (688/3200)]

[Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique: Minor Success (28/800)]

The main focus of daily cultivation, besides the main cultivation technique [Divine Hiding in the Vast Ocean Technique] and the main spell technique [True Ice Heart Technique], is the [White Bone Observation Inner Vision Method] and the [Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Soul Tempering Technique].

The progress is evident.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's spiritual power was three times stronger than it had been two years ago.

The range of divine sense coverage also increased by 30%.

Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

The effect of adding points to the Daoist Rhyme on the [Divine Hiding in the Vast Ocean Technique] and [True Ice Heart Technique] is extremely poor.

It can only be used to break through bottlenecks.

According to Master Hanyu Zhenren.

Once the [Dongzhen Bingxin Jue] is perfected, it is sufficient to condense a golden elixir.

"Relying on diligent study and hard work is too slow. It's much faster to refine the essence and blood of a water-attribute demon king!"

"Wouldn't it be even better if we had an ice-attribute demon king?"

Shen Xuan thought of the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon that Demon Lord Wanmeng had mentioned.

Previously, Shen Xuan wrote a letter asking Demon Lord Wanmeng to gather information on Alchemist Yu Qiuchi of the Tengyun Merchant Alliance, as well as Soul Condensation Pills and Soul Condensation Spiritual Objects.

Demon Lord Wanmeng replied that Alchemist Yu Qiuchi of the Tengyun Merchant Alliance was still alive, but his lifespan was running out, and he rarely accepted orders to refine pills.

As for the Soul-Gathering Pill and Soul-Gathering Spiritual Objects, she is currently investigating and has already made some progress.

It seems that alchemist Yu Qiuchi can also refine Soul-Gathering Pills.

The main medicinal materials need to be provided by the guest.

In a certain place in the Liang Kingdom, there is a Netherworld Space containing extremely rare Soul-Gathering Spiritual Objects.

Demon Lord Wanmeng stated frankly that if Shen Xuan was willing to help her kill the Ice Fiend Demon Dragon, she would be willing to do her utmost to assist him.

Help Shen Xuan contact Master Yu Qiuchi of the Tengyun Business Alliance and use his connections to persuade him to take on the pill refining order.

"The Netherworld, Liang Kingdom, Yan Kingdom, Demon Realm..."

Shen Xuan shook his head.

They were all unfamiliar territories, fraught with danger.

Shen Xuan wouldn't take the risk unless he was 99% certain.

He poured out some corpses of the Yin-devouring demonic insects and placed them in front of the jade table.

"Try?"

According to his understanding, the mysterious jade talisman could plunder the essence and blood of all demonic beasts.

The Yin-devouring Demon Insect, like the Blood-devouring Mosquito, should also be able to plunder.

Although the Blood-Eating Mosquito is weak, the innate skills it provides are very powerful.

It is the innate divine power of the primordial beast Black-winged Blood Mosquito: [Gnawing on All Things].

What talents and skills can the essence blood of these Yin-devouring demonic insects provide?
Shen Xuan felt a faint sense of anticipation.

The mysterious jade talisman flashed with a golden light.

Before the jade table, the corpses of hundreds of Yin-devouring demonic insects had dried up.

[Plunderable Talent: Yin-Yang Walking].

It has only one talent skill that allows it to plunder.

Shen Xuan was quite pleased.

[Talent: Yin-Yang Walking (8/100)]

【Daoyun: 301998】

Only two hundred points of Daoist energy are available at a time.

This is the [Yin Yang Walking] talent skill!
Shen Xuan had observed the Yin-Devouring Demon Insect for a long time, and the [Yin-Yang Walking] skill was an extremely mysterious talent.

It is not a simple matter of invisibility or escape techniques, but rather involves the understanding and application of the "Yin-Yang" principle.

Shen Xuan suppressed his joy.

Next, he spent half a year refining the essence and blood of more than seven thousand Yin-devouring demonic insects.

[Talent: Minor Mastery of Yin-Yang Movement (128/800)]

late at night.

The bright moon is in the sky.

Shen Xuan stood alone atop the mountain peak.

Silently practice the technique.

"Yin-Yang Walking!"

Shen Xuan's body became unpredictable, shifting between solid and ethereal.

It quickly disappeared from the spot.

A few breaths later, Shen Xuan's body shattered the void and appeared a thousand feet away.

He stopped and took a deep breath.

There was a look of joy on his face.

Just now, he used the [Yin Yang Walking] technique, and it seemed that he stepped into another strange environment.

The physical senses are blurred; the consciousness is more of a spiritual awareness.

Shen Xuan guessed that they probably hadn't entered the underworld.

Instead, for a short period of time, they hide in the gap between the Yin and Yang realms, thus freely moving between them.

Essentially, this is a combined skill of spatial travel and state switching.

Once he has mastered this talent skill, he can step from the rift in the mortal realm into the rift in the underworld, or return from the rift in the underworld to the rift in the mortal realm.

In other words, one can freely enter the crevices of the underworld that are inaccessible to ordinary cultivators without leaving the body.

If used properly.

When the opponent unleashes a supernatural killing move, one can instantly escape into the rift of the underworld, and the physical body "disappears" from the mortal world, thus escaping the lock of divine consciousness and the attack of supernatural powers.

They can also suddenly approach the opponent from the gaps in the underworld and launch an attack, making it impossible to defend against.

If perfected, it evolves into supernatural powers, enabling one to transform into nothingness and evade all attacks.

Of course, that's a long way off.

For Shen Xuan at this moment, the [Yin Yang Walking] greatly enhanced his combat power.

This applies not only to ghost cultivators and demonic cultivators.

Even when facing various spiritual practitioners, it can evade divine sense detection, reduce the power of spells, cast spatial escape techniques, and even glimpse yin and yang and perceive the essence.

Shen Xuan tried it.

Each use increases skill proficiency by one to two points.

It can only last for a few breaths.

It doesn't consume much spiritual energy.

If Shen Xuan is willing to spend the time...

It only takes six months to achieve mastery.

This reminded Shen Xuan of the Netherworld Space mentioned by Demon Lord Wanmeng.

"Could this be Li Ruyi's destiny?"
