Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 561 Simplified Cultivation Technique (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

It took Li Yunjing a full month to review all the spells, supernatural powers, and cultivation techniques he knew.

Once one reaches a higher level of mastery, even the most basic techniques can yield new discoveries upon revisiting them.

Li Yunjing increasingly felt that he needed to fuse all methods and seek the "unity of all methods".

Otherwise, the various supernatural powers and techniques would restrict each other, diverting energy and preventing the full potential from being realized, which would undoubtedly feel like trying to get more than you can handle.

This is a big problem!

When dealing with Golden Core cultivators, Li Yunjing could easily defeat them by freely using his supernatural abilities, thanks to his overwhelming advantage.

However, he has recently set his sights on potential opponents at the Nascent Soul stage!

Li Yunjing's current attacks, defenses, and various supernatural abilities are somewhat insufficient.

To truly contend with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, Li Yunjing needs to go a step further, optimizing his supernatural abilities and spells, and refining his magical treasures.

These are the best ways to boost combat power when you can't improve your cultivation level.

Li Yunjing is currently integrating and streamlining his cultivation techniques.

Having clarified the future development direction, Li Yunjing also took the opportunity to organize his own resources.

This time in the East China Sea, Li Yunjing killed thirty-nine Golden Core Realm experts. These people all came from various chambers of commerce, many of whom were chamber of commerce owners, and even the worst were vice presidents or elders.

They are all wealthy people!

They are far, far wealthier than the average Golden Core cultivator.

The relics left behind by so many people provided Li Yunjing with nearly two hundred treasures. As for spirit stones, pills, talismans, array plates, cultivation techniques, and spiritual weapons, they were countless.

And those materials of various grades are all good stuff.

With these resources, Li Yunjing could further promote his six deputy positions.

However, with the wedding imminent, he doesn't have time to refine weapons, make pills, set up formations, create puppets, or draw talismans.

Currently, the only thing Li Yunjing can do is read all the cultivation techniques, including the Heavenly Secret Technique he obtained from Pang Qianji of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

These are all good things.

After memorizing the captured martial arts techniques, Li Yunjing began to integrate them into his own techniques.

He incorporated almost every martial art technique into his "Five Elements Divine Fist" and "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist".

These two styles of boxing are the embodiment of his profound philosophy.

Now, Li Yunjing has broken down and integrated all the martial arts techniques.

His "Five Elements Divine Fist" and "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist" also became increasingly powerful.

The attack power of the two boxing styles has increased by almost 10% compared to before!
This one percent should not be underestimated!
Li Yunjing's combat power was already close to being invincible at the Golden Core Realm. Now, with a new boost, his attack power is definitely not weaker than those half-step Nascent Soul Realm experts!

Feeling the surging power within his body, Li Yunjing's eyes flashed like lightning. He raised his hand and threw a punch into the void of the secluded cultivation room.

In an instant, the power of the five elements and the might of thunder erupted. Wherever the fist passed, space twisted and trembled, tearing open a black crack half a meter long in the void, which slowly healed after a long time.

"If we were to face that fourth-tier fire dragon right now, I'm afraid I wouldn't need Senior Blazing Fire's help and could handle it more easily."

Looking at this astonishing power, a confident smile curved his lips as he muttered to himself, "At least it's almost impossible for Ao Lie to kill me!"

As for the "Heavenly Secrets Technique," obtaining all of Pang Qianji's knowledge also brought Li Yunjing a pleasant surprise.

Pang Qianji is a very bad person, you could say he has no integrity and is extremely greedy. However, he is very talented in divination, and in terms of methods, he is far superior to the "Divine Firmament Divine Secret Technique" that Li Yunjing has learned.

The Divine Firmament Forging Technique is not a single technique of divination; its primary function is to cultivate the spirit.

It can be said that Li Yunjing did not have a special "Heavenly Secret Technique". The reason why his "Heavenly Secret Technique" was so powerful was because he had the blessing of three treasures: the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass", the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant", and the "Tortoise Shell".

Li Yunjing sat cross-legged in the center of the secluded meditation room, with the "tortoise shell" placed in front of him. The "Mysterious Heaven Compass" flew around him, spinning with a "humming" sound, while the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secret Pendant" hung at his waist, shining brightly and colliding with each other, making a pleasant "ding-dong" sound.

The sound seemed to contain the changes of the Yin and Yang principles, and Li Yunjing felt as if he had been enlightened when he heard it.

After a while, Li Yunjing entered a state of "harmony between man and nature".

After losing himself in the moment, Li Yunjing subconsciously formed profound hand seals and laid out the fragment of the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" he had seized from Pang Qianji in front of him.

On the yellowed pages, the densely packed tadpole-like characters, infused with spiritual energy, transformed into specks of starlight, outlining mysterious hexagrams in the air.

Li Yunjing circulated his divine sense, attempting to integrate these obscure contents with the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secrets Technique".

"Crash!"

Li Yunjing felt as if a shackle in his mind had been broken.

His consciousness, guided by the fragments in the scroll, slowly sank into a state of chaos.

In this chaos, he saw countless shimmering points of light, each representing the trajectory of fate for all things in the world.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Pang Qianji's "Heavenly Secret Technique" is different from the "Divine Firmament Forging Heavenly Secret Technique". It focuses more on deduction and prediction, and can predict future events by observing the changes in the Qi between heaven and earth.

Li Yunjing tried to activate the "Heavenly Secrets Technique," using himself as the center to sense the fluctuations of the surrounding energy.

His divine sense spread out in all directions like a large net.

Under the cover of this net, he could clearly "see" the cultivation progress of the disciples in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and even "hear" the conversations of the elders in the distant council hall.

When his divine sense reached the direction of "Seven Star Peak," Li Yunjing frowned slightly. The energy there was chaotic, as if a huge storm was brewing. Once he arrived there, even the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" could not deduce it.

To verify the power of the "Heavenly Secrets Technique," Li Yunjing activated the "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" and the "Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Heavenly Secrets Pendant."

Under his activation, the two treasures emitted a dazzling light, resonating with the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" circulating within his body.

Li Yunjing formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The "Mysterious Heavenly Compass" spun rapidly, its pointer swinging wildly before finally pointing southeast. "Southeast, in three days, a crisis will occur."

Li Yunjing murmured softly.

He closed his eyes and activated the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" again, trying to see the specific details of this crisis.

However, just as his divine sense was about to reach the crucial information, a powerful force suddenly emerged from the void, forcibly interrupting his divine sense.

Li Yunjing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes gleamed with determination: "As expected, forcibly prying into the secrets of heaven will backfire. But the power of this 'Heavenly Secrets Technique' is worth the risk."

"Hmph! My wedding day is in three days, and the crisis will definitely come from those who cause trouble!"

Li Yunjing decided to temporarily set aside his predictions about the future and first further integrate the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" with his own "Five Elements Divine Fist" and "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist" to enhance his own strength.

As for those potential enemies, Li Yunjing didn't care about them at all!
On the day of the grand wedding, friends from the "Great Ming Cultivation World" and the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in the Southern Continent will all come to attend.

What could be more awe-inspiring than publicly beheading an enemy to demonstrate the majesty of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?

Those who wanted to cause trouble had already been identified by Li Yunjing as targets for establishing his authority!
Having calculated the time, with only one day left until his wedding day, he finally ended his cultivation.

Although Li Yunjing was still eager to continue his cultivation, he could no longer remain in seclusion.

"Alas! If I were to cultivate the entire system to its peak, it would probably take more than ten years of seclusion!"

After straightening his clothes, Li Yunjing walked out of the secluded training room.

As soon as she appeared, she was caught red-handed by Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi.

"Oh, you've been in seclusion for so long. Have you forgotten about us now that you've obtained the treasure?"

Lu Ruoxi crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, saying with displeasure.

Yu Yunyi blinked her big eyes and leaned closer to him: "Tell me quickly, what kind of adventures did you have during this seclusion?"

"I got a lucky break in the East China Sea!"

Li Yunjing smiled and pulled the two women into his arms, saying with a grin, "Of course I won't forget you. These two jade slips contain auxiliary cultivation methods that I extracted from those cultivation techniques. They will help you break through your cultivation realms."

As they spoke, they each slipped a jade slip into the hands of Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi.

“This improvement is not only in the power of the fist technique. I have noticed that the ‘Five Elements Divine Fist’ and the ‘Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist’ seem to be resonating with each other. Perhaps if we go a step further, we can fuse them into an even more powerful divine ability.”

After the two women accepted the gift with delight, he said solemnly, "I have already figured out the direction of my cultivation! As long as I continue to cultivate step by step, I will surely succeed and break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm!"

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Ling'er, the little girl, rushed over and said, "Young Master! The Sect Master has sent a message asking you to go to the 'Divine Firmament Hall' immediately. He said that almost all the guests have arrived and he wants to discuss the final preparations for the wedding with you!"

"It's finally starting!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing smiled slightly, released the two women in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "You two rest first, I'll be right back."

"Yes! Everything is ready here too! We're just waiting for the big day!"

Yu Yunyi said with a smile.

"Go ahead and get busy!"

Lü Ruoxi also urged.

"it is good!"

Li Yunjing nodded and in an instant, he appeared on "Chaoyang Peak," where the entire peak was covered with bright red flowers.

The entire mountain was filled with a joyous and festive atmosphere.

Many of my fellow disciples are still making final preparations.

Li Yunjing nodded and flew towards "Shenxiao Peak". Before long, he appeared in "Shenxiao Hall".

The atmosphere inside the hall was heavy. The Sect Master, Ming Lingchuan, stood with his hands behind his back, flanked by several Supreme Elders, all with somber expressions.
Upon Li Yunjing's arrival, Ming Lingchuan conjured a massive light screen, displaying a map of the "Shenxiao Mountain Range," with countless red dots moving toward the border of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

"Your wedding is unlikely to go smoothly!"

Ming Lingchuan's voice was low and deep, tinged with anger, "It seems the demonic path is about to cause trouble!"

"Supreme Master, wouldn't it be better if they came?"

Li Yunjing sneered and said, "How many people can they send on our turf? If we discover them beforehand, they're just asking for death!"

"This wedding is a perfect opportunity to let guests from all directions witness the majesty of my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'!"

"Hehe! Not bad!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's calm demeanor, Ming Lingchuan smiled, "The Supreme Elders will personally handle this matter! You don't need to worry!"

"I've called you here today because of another appointment!"

At this point, Ming Lingchuan's expression became much more serious. "After discussion, your proposal has been adopted! The Five Elements True Man will personally take charge and serve as the leader of the 'East Sea Alliance,' and all the Supreme Elders will accompany him!"

"The quota for fifty Golden Core Realm elders is also being determined!"

"As for you!"

Ming Lingchuan gave Li Yunjing a deep look and said in a deep voice, "With the alliance established, you will serve as the executive leader, commanding the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect,' various sects in the East Sea, and cultivators from all families to form a battle line to block the advance of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'!"

"Thank you for your trust, Sect Leader and all the elders!"

Li Yunjing's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he clasped his hands in a salute: "Yunjing will certainly live up to your expectations! This battle will surely make the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect's' reputation shake the East Sea, and ensure that the 'Heavenly Net Dao Sect' will never return!"

"Don't rush, the responsibility of assuming the position of leader of the alliance is immense."

Elder Xuanqing stroked his beard and smiled, "The forces in the East Sea are deeply entrenched. You need to lead cultivators from all sides and deal with the conspiracies and schemes of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect.' Do you have a comprehensive plan?"

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder!"

Li Yunjing rose, his gaze sweeping over the assembled dignitaries in the hall. "Yunjing already has three plans. First, leveraging the prestige of the Five Elements True Man Alliance Leader, we will swiftly consolidate the existing alliances in the East Sea, linking the scattered defensive strongholds into an impregnable wall. Second, we will dispatch disciples skilled in 'Heavenly Secrets' to form an intelligence agency, penetrating deep into the heart of the battlefield to gain advance knowledge of their marching routes and tactical deployments. Third..."

He flipped his palm, and a jade slip engraved with runes floated out. "This battle requires unified allocation of resources. This is the 'Wartime Coordination Order' drafted by Yun Jing, which contains detailed rules for everything from the distribution of spirit stones and pills to the rotation of cultivators."

"It does have some structure."

Elder Lei Ze nodded slightly, his body crackling with purple lightning: "However, the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is incredibly powerful. How can you ensure the defenses are foolproof?"

"Why must we ensure absolute safety?"

Li Yunjing said solemnly, "The main purpose of this battle is to eliminate the remaining forces of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect'. We can make full use of the various sects' dojos to resist step by step and deplete the number of 'Tianluo Dao Sect' cultivators."

"I refuse to believe it! The vast East Sea has millions of cultivators. Even if they just wear down the 100,000 to 200,000 members of the 'Tianluo Dao Sect,' they should be able to do so!"

"Even our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' cannot withstand such a large loss of lives!"

"How could his 'Tianluo Dao Sect' be an exception?"

"With their forces nearly exhausted, does the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' still dare to covet my 'Great Ming Cultivation World'?"

"Perhaps by then, our main force will have stabilized the 'Youyue Kingdom's' battle line, allowing us to wait in comfort and defeat the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' directly!"

Li Yunjing spoke eloquently, clearly having a different understanding of this decisive battle.

"Alright! Since you're so confident, let's proceed according to your plan."

Ming Lingchuan looked at Li Yunjing's clear and logical response with satisfaction, and raised his hand to support him: "One month later, the alliance's transfer order and the sect's tiger tally will be delivered to you by someone."
