Hermit in the Mountains

Seeing that Da Hong had mastered the "Golden Crow Bearing the Sun Visualization Method," Gu Changsheng left a message and went down the mountain alone.

"Da Hong, you can cultivate on the mountain by yourself. Your master is going back now."

After saying that, he jumped to the ground and walked ten meters. Suddenly, he stopped and focused his mind on the earth's veins, compressing them into folds in his consciousness, shortening the distance like folding paper.

"One step across a mountain, two steps across a river, three steps shrinking the earth... into an inch."

When he chanted the incantation, the power of his divine consciousness and the power of his withering and flourishing magic within his body decreased by one-tenth.

The instant the word "inch" was written, Gu Changsheng's entire figure vanished from his original spot, appearing as if he had teleported a hundred meters away.

He lifted his right foot and took a step forward, then his figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared fifty meters away.

With his left and right feet stepping forward alternately, just like walking normally, Gu Changsheng's figure flashed through the plum blossom forest and bamboo grove.

After taking ten steps, he teleported to the door of the wooden house and did not disappear again.

Standing in front of the wooden house, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath. His divine sense and the power of decay and prosperity had been consumed by 70% in just a few steps.

He muttered to himself, "This Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique is really cool, but it can only be used as a last resort to save your life. It consumes too much energy."

The teleportation technique he just used was the legendary "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" supernatural power, but his version of Shrinking the Earth to an Inch was only a simplified version, consuming a lot of energy and being dependent on the environment.

The maximum distance he can travel in one step with the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique is only 100 meters, and it requires consuming one-tenth of his divine sense and withering and flourishing magic power. His cultivation level can support him to use Shrinking Earth to an Inch ten times at most.

He can shorten the teleportation distance, thereby reducing the consumption of divine sense and withering and flourishing magic power. The distance he can take in one step can be any length between one meter and one hundred meters. One step can be one meter, five meters, ten meters, fifty meters, or one hundred meters.

There are also limitations to the ability to shrink the earth to an inch. It cannot be used in watery or empty areas. You need to stand on the ground and use the earth's veins as a path. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called shrinking the earth to an inch.

The earth's veins are like underground highways. Shrinking the earth to an inch is like folding this highway up, turning a hundred-meter distance into a few tens of centimeters thick. After taking a step across, the highway opens up to restore the hundred-meter length, achieving instantaneous teleportation.

The principle of shrinking the earth to an inch is similar to the concept of spatial folding. The former folds the earth's structure, while the latter folds spatial nodes. They are different applications of the same principle.

If he comprehends the laws of space in the future, he will be able to upgrade the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, greatly improving his teleportation speed, distance, and self-consumption.

The current ability to shrink the earth to an inch is like a car that can only drive on land. Once the laws of space are added, it will have the ability to teleport across land, sea, and air, or in other words, the ability to teleport in all directions.

Gu Changsheng conceived the idea of ​​finding objects related to space or people with spatial spiritual roots. As long as he was given the "Origin Dao Guide", even if the other party could not obtain the blessing of the Great Dao of Space, each breakthrough in cultivation would feed back energy to him, allowing him to comprehend the power of space.

Although the "Original Dao Guide" feeds back pure energy, the energy contains the laws and principles of the attributes. He can comprehend these laws and principles before they dissipate, which is more effective than figuring it out on his own.

"Let Zhang Yuanfu arrange for people to search. We don't know if anyone on Blue Star currently possesses a spatial spiritual root or if any spatial spiritual objects have been born. Hopefully, they have."

He cleared his mind of distractions, muttered something to himself, and turned to walk into the living room to meditate and restore his magical and spiritual power.

Having mastered two life-saving escape techniques, Gu Changsheng was in high spirits. Every night, besides cultivating, he would teach Wang Bing'er cultivation knowledge and occasionally deduce the "Jade Rabbit Gazing at the Moon Visualization Method".

They cannot favor one disciple over another. Each disciple should have at least one visualization method to accelerate their cultivation. The shorter the time it takes for disciples to improve and break through, the more pure energy, laws, and Dao essence they will receive in return.

During the day, he teaches two spirit pets and two apprentices, and he also deduces a visualization method suitable for cultivating earth spirit ginseng.

After comprehending the two great escape techniques, Earth Escape Technique and Shrinking the Earth into an Inch, his understanding of the laws of the earth has improved by several levels. He has already found a direction for visualization techniques and can deduce the first level of visualization within a week.

These past few days, Gu Changsheng has been struggling with whether to bestow the gifts upon Dahuang and Qingniu, mainly because the wind and earth laws on their spiritual roots are not within his consideration.

The 'Original Dao Guide' is limited; he intends to use it on some supreme laws, such as time, space, reincarnation, yin and yang, chaos, life and death...

There are six of them if you count them randomly, and if you add the earth, the sun, and the moon, that makes nine.

In addition, there are other top-level laws such as the Law of Force, Destiny, Cause and Effect, Destruction, and Creation.

He must choose between the laws of space and the laws of time.

The laws of space are unparalleled in all aspects, whether for escape, attack, or defense.

The law of time is related to the path of decay and prosperity he cultivates, which can evolve into the path of decay and prosperity over time.

With prosperity and decline as the outward appearance, and the passage of time as the inner essence, we must be consistent inside and out to comprehensively enhance our potential, strengthen our capabilities, and improve our methods.

The principles of the sun and moon, and the corresponding laws within the cycle of time, provide a source of inspiration. Observing the sunrise and sunset is also a way of understanding the flow of time, which greatly helps him comprehend the laws of time.

Gu Changsheng put aside his inner turmoil and focused his mind on cultivation. The wood elemental energy within a hundred-meter radius around him was instantly drained, and a terrifying suction force spread outwards, reaching two hundred meters, three hundred meters, five hundred meters, seven hundred meters...

Pale blue spiritual energy surged from all directions toward the wooden house where Gu Changsheng was.

The faint yellowish-brown "earth energy" from the ground flowed into his body through his feet.

The flow of spiritual energy caused air to circulate, and wisps of breeze swirled and flowed around Changsheng Peak, causing the bamboo leaves, tree leaves, and grass on the mountain to sway and dance gently.

"Rustling..."

The leaves swayed in the wind.

The first rays of sunlight, known as "purple aura," arrive when the sun has just risen. At night, one gathers and refines the power of the moonlight while simultaneously breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the energy of mountains and rivers.

The sun rises and the moon sets, in an endless cycle.

After four days of focused breathing exercises, Gu Changsheng stopped cultivating. He had made good progress during those four days; his Dao root had sprouted new shoots, and his cultivation had taken a small step forward. He had also completed two-thirds of the Earth Attribute Visualization Technique.

Under his guidance, all the resentment in Wang Bing'er's body was washed away. In order to eliminate the most unwilling and tragic obsession in her resentment, a wisp of her virtuous karma was consumed.

The result was good. When all the resentment in Wang Bing'er's body disappeared, her efficiency in absorbing the power of the moonlight increased several times, and her soul became purer, filled with wisps of yin energy and ghostly energy.

Once the yin energy around Wang Bing'er becomes more concentrated, he plans to bestow upon her the "Origin Dao Guide," and once she successfully condenses the Taiyin Yin Seed, he will accept her as his third disciple.

Before we knew it, the sun had risen high in the sky, and we heard Big Yellow barking outside.

"Woof woof woof..." (Master, someone's here.)

Gu Changsheng glanced in the direction of the Golden Jade Forest and sent a telepathic message to Da Huang, "Let them in."
