Shrouding the Sky: Creating Your Own Cultivation Technique at the Start

Chapter 136 Cultivating Enlightenment Tea in the Sea of ​​Bitterness

"What you say is indeed true, fellow Daoist. This is also the realm we pursue—transcending our own bloodline origin. However, such things are not something we can consider right now," Yan Ruyu said, clearly having her own thoughts.

"That's true. Everyone has different goals in their cultivation, so their pursuits are naturally different." Lu Zhao nodded gently.

Before I had a complete copy of the scriptures, I had thought about using external things to improve myself.

Now that the scriptures are complete, these external things are no longer of any use to him.

What's truly useful are the principles of the universe.

"I hope you will carefully consider my suggestions. Although you no longer need external help to improve yourself, you can still experience the glory and Dao principles of our ancestor, the Azure Emperor," Yan Ruyu said.

"The Dao Principles of the Azure Emperor?" Lu Zhao immediately became interested in this.

Comprehending the Dao principles within the Azure Emperor's heart was indeed something that interested him.

"Okay, I can give it a try." Lu Zhao immediately agreed.

Yan Ruyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief; the matter was finally settled.

So she took matters into her own hands, urging the crystal coffin to fly up. At the same time, crimson light flashed inside the crystal coffin, and the Azure Emperor's heart flew out as well.

Soon, under Yan Ruyu's control, the Azure Emperor's heart flew towards Lu Zhao.

It broke into Lu Zhao's Sea of ​​Wheels and flew towards it.

Once the heart entered Lu Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness, it remained suspended above it, pounding rhythmically.

However, with each beat, the heart acts like a vortex, absorbing the essence within Lu Zhao's body and condensing it within the heart.

"No wonder I need someone to nourish my heart. The consumption of this heart is truly terrifying. If I hadn't undergone multiple transformations, my own sea of ​​suffering had expanded dramatically, and my divine power had increased many times over, I would have been completely drained by this heart long ago."

Lu Zhao sensed the change but did not retaliate in any way.

He just wanted to see what this heart would do.

At the same time, a faint flow of Dao principles still existed within the Azure Emperor's heart. Although these Dao principles were very faint, they caused a thunderous roar in Lu Zhao's heart.

Because on this special heart, Lu Zhao saw the scriptures of the Azure Emperor.

Those were scriptures from the Dao Palace, the way he cultivated his spiritual essence.

"So that's how it is. It seems there are still so many flaws in the scriptures of my Dao Palace Secret Realm. Today is a good opportunity to repair them," Lu Zhao muttered to himself.

At the same time, he slowly closed his eyes, and the sound of scriptures resounded in his mind.

The scriptures in the Dao Palace Scroll have been condensed and refined by Lu Zhao.

Some flaws that I couldn't see before have suddenly become apparent to me today.

Therefore, he re-refined it, making up for some of the shortcomings in the Dao Palace Scroll, making the Dao Palace even stronger.

Even in his Five Great Palaces, the five gods simultaneously emanated chanting.

At this moment, the five Dao Palaces were shaking simultaneously, and even special marks appeared in the five internal organs.

Lu Zhao activated his Dao Palace Scroll to nourish his five Dao Palaces.

At the same time, his internal organs were all roaring together, guiding the potential within them to be stimulated to a greater extent.

Furthermore, Lu Zhao could sense that when the Azure Emperor's heart was beating, it generated a special devouring force.

It absorbs Lu Zhao's essence and blood, while also nourishing itself.

"It just so happens that my Five Great Dao Palace Divine Treasures have all absorbed Emperor-level divine objects in the past. Now that the scriptures have been revised, these things are no longer needed. Since this heart wants to absorb them, let's give all those external objects to him." Lu Zhao made his decision.

Because at that time, he didn't have any good solutions.

One can only temper oneself with external things and become strong enough before thinking about how to obtain more power.

Now that Lu Zhao's cultivation level has improved, his vision has broadened, and he has more means to temper his internal organs.

On the contrary, the substances absorbed into the body in the past are not part of oneself and will become a kind of shackle that restricts oneself.

Now that he has given up these things, Lu Zhao feels as if his internal organs have been unsealed, especially the five great gods of the Dao Palace, who are now more transparent than before.

At the same time, more potential was released within the five internal organs.

"It's not necessarily true that pursuing external power is problematic. At the very least, you need to make yourself strong enough first. Once you've seen a higher level, some things will naturally fall into place." Lu Zhao had a new insight.

In fact, most people are well aware of Lu Zhao's thoughts.

But the chances of actually achieving that are probably less than one in ten thousand.

The Azure Emperor's heart continued to beat. At the same time, the five great emperor-level divine objects from Lu Zhao's five great divine treasures flew out and entered the Azure Emperor's heart, where they were eventually devoured.

This is a divine artifact of Emperor-level importance, so it is very useful for the Azure Emperor's heart.

After these substances are absorbed by the heart, the heart beats more powerfully.

Just like this heart, it's now completely saturated.

At the same time, the entire heart became even redder, because on the surface of the heart, layers of faint blood mist appeared, which was the essence blood of the Azure Emperor.

After the heart is nourished, some of its essence and blood overflow.

These vital essences rushed into Lu Zhao's body, intending to permeate every part of his being.

If it were anyone else, they would have been overjoyed to see this as a tremendous opportunity.

But this wasn't the case for Lu Zhao. This wasn't his essence blood, and it had nothing to do with him whatsoever, so it was of very little help to him.

If there's anything of use to it, it's the essence contained in the blood.

However, this substance may not last long before it is expelled from his body and completely becomes waste.

Moreover, he always felt that being tempered by foreign blood was still somewhat inappropriate.

At this moment, Lu Zhao was in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and this essence blood was rushing downwards.

At the same time, all the essence and energy in his blood and essence will rush towards his sea of ​​suffering, become a part of the sea of ​​suffering, and begin to evolve.

However, such energy is too singular for Lu Zhao.

Unlike the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon, these two are products of the condensation of the Yin and Yang principles, which are just right for the evolution of Lu Zhao's Wheel Sea.

Although this part of the Azure Emperor's essence blood contains extremely strong vital energy, it does not possess the principles of Yin and Yang, making it unsuitable for him to absorb directly.

Even as his strength increases in the future, he will be able to re-extract the True Fire of the Sun and the True Water of the Moon that he once absorbed.

The principles contained within the two divine objects have long been thoroughly understood.

He even planned to temper these two divine objects little by little, forcing them out of his body and turning them into waste within him.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, Lu Zhao absolutely cannot allow these essences to mix into his sea of ​​suffering again, as it would only cause more trouble.

Lu Zhao circulated the scriptures, causing the vital energy within his body to continuously surge.

Even the Yin-Yang diagram in the Sea of ​​Bitterness surged up from its depths, spinning in the sky above the sea and blocking the falling blood mist.

Under Lu Zhao's manipulation, the blood mist was blocked.

Then it condensed on the surface of the Yin-Yang diagram, eventually forming a drop of blood.

This is the essence blood of the Azure Emperor. Even just a single drop is incredibly powerful, surpassing countless rare and precious treasures.

This single drop of Azure Emperor's essence blood was like a small sun, illuminating Lu Zhao's entire sea of ​​suffering.

"The next step is to force out this drop of essence blood, and then this cultivation will be perfect." Lu Zhao began to take action.

Moreover, after absorbing those essences, the Azure Emperor's heart also calmed down.

During this time, Lu Zhao gradually circulated his own scriptures, drawing out the drop of Qingdi's essence blood from his body.

Finally, under Lu Zhao's guidance, the essence blood began to fly out of the wheel sea.

However, after the essence blood left the Azure Emperor's heart for a certain distance, it seemed to be drawn by a special force and flew towards the heart.

"So that's the problem." Lu Zhao instantly understood.

The reason why Yan Ruyu (a type of traditional Chinese medicine) can cause the heart to absorb the essence and blood is because after the essence and blood leave the heart, they will be forcibly attracted back by the heart.

"It seems that this drop of essence blood can either be absorbed by myself, or it can be allowed to return to my heart, or I can use a treasure to suppress it and let the essence blood exert other effects." Lu Zhao frowned and seriously thought of a solution.

As for absorbing the Azure Emperor's essence and blood, Lu Zhao ruled that out immediately.

As for the treasures used for suppression, he does possess two imperial weapons.

Although the two imperial weapons were very special and possessed unimaginable power, this was still the Sea of ​​Wheels, and Lu Zhao was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

So it seems the only way left is to return the essence blood.

Lu Zhao had gone to so much trouble to finally produce a drop of essence blood. It would be such a waste to just let the essence blood return to his heart like this.

So he was still thinking about how to make use of this drop of essence.

"Wait a minute, the Azure Emperor's blood essence contains the Azure Emperor's vital energy. Even if I can't absorb it, the Enlightenment Tea can absorb it. It's like how some immortal medicines require the Great Emperor's Life Spring Divine Liquid during Nirvana, which can be replaced by blood essence." Lu Zhao's eyes lit up.

This is also an excellent opportunity for him to cultivate the Enlightenment Tea in advance.

Soon, a fist-sized coffin lid appeared in Lu Zhao's hand, with a tender green bud on it and more than a dozen leaves growing on it.

These leaves are all different in shape, and they contain various profound principles.

Then he urged the bud to fly towards his sea of ​​suffering, and then flew the bud towards the drop of blood.

Next, Lu Zhao personally manipulated the process, urging the essence in his blood to burst forth.

Although it is only a single drop of essence blood, the vital energy contained within it is absolutely comparable to the divine liquid of the Great Emperor's Life Spring, and it definitely possesses immense value.

These vital energies enveloped the tender bud and were then absorbed by the bud little by little.

After absorbing this essence, the bud indeed began to stir again, slowly growing, and new leaves began to sprout.

This is a very clear process, so clear that it can even be seen with the naked eye.

During this process, the roots of the Wudao Tea branches also began to grow, with tiny roots emerging from the coffin lid.

At the same time, the top area of ​​the buds, where the buds have already branched out, has become thicker and is beginning to transform into trees.

Nourished by vital energy, the tender buds of Wudao Tea grow slowly.

Although this process is very slow, it contains many principles.

As the Enlightenment Tea grows, more and more Dao principles will flow in and enter Lu Zhao's body, helping him to condense more Dao principles.

As time went on, the Enlightenment Tea even fell into Lu Zhao's life spring.

Although the growth rate slowed down considerably after receiving the baptism of Lu Zhao's Life Spring Divine Liquid, the speed of Dao guidance remained unchanged.

"Enlightenment Tea grown in the Sea of ​​Bitterness?" Lu Zhao stared at the Enlightenment Tea in the center.

Although he didn't want to rely on these external things, he used the Enlightenment Tea to help him improve his strength.

However, the principles of Tao within the Enlightenment Tea were incredibly beneficial to him, offering unimaginable assistance to his future cultivation.

When Lu Zhao opened his eyes, half a day had already passed.

This improvement is quite significant, and its key impact is on his future.
