229. Chapter 226: The Entire Sect Switches Cultivation Techniques
If Liu Yinzhu still hesitated, Sang Yuhe showed not the slightest doubt—she immediately seized the jade slip and scanned it with her spiritual sense.
The moment Ding Huan killed the Primordial Soul realm elder He Chang, she had chosen to trust him unconditionally.
Any other cultivator would dare not, even at Foundation Establishment, dream of founding a sect—or worse, eliminating a Primordial Soul realm expert.
Ding Huan not only dreamed it, he accomplished it.
Add to that the fact she'd heard Ding Huan killed Qi Yushan while still at Foundation Establishment, and she grew even more awed by him.
Thinking of herself—also True Pill realm—she'd been hunted for years by Qi Yushan, a man Ding Huan could kill with a single spear.
What meaning was there in continuing her current cultivation technique?
Seeing Sang Yuhe begin studying the jade slip without hesitation, Liu Yinzhu hurried to start meditating on its contents.
Ding Huan simply dropped a spiritual vein inside the grand hall.
As sect master, he had to complete this first step for everyone.
Once he began cultivating, the Dao resonance of the Great Cosmos Art would become crystal clear, allowing everyone to disperse their cultivation with half the effort by relying on his resonance.
There was another more critical reason: the Small Cosmos Art must be cultivated under the Zhou Tian rules he established.
When he cultivated, the space around him became saturated with these Zhou Tian rules.
He had not yet set up a cultivation array for the Small Cosmos Art within the sect; once he did, he wouldn't need to be here—everyone could still cultivate.
The greatest advantage was that the Small Cosmos Art would never leak.
Even without sect rules forbidding it, any disciple who secretly passed on the technique would die the moment they tried to cultivate it.
When everyone finished comprehending the jade slip, Ding Huan himself began cultivating.
He was currently at the Star Storage realm; the moment he began, the spiritual vein's energy instantly surged.
After only a dozen or so Zhou Tian cycles, the entire grand hall was filled with thick, dense spiritual energy.
No one present was foolish—they immediately understood Ding Huan's intent.
This was spiritual energy he had activated; under this energy field, relying on his cultivation Dao resonance to disperse their cultivation reduced the risk of failure.
As long as they dispersed quickly, they still had a chance to cultivate within this dense energy—no need to ask, everyone knew their cultivation would skyrocket here.
Qin Qingshan was the first to begin dispersing his cultivation—he'd already had his life saved once, so losing it again meant nothing.
When he followed the dispersal method and completed his first Zhou Tian, he was astonished to find the true energy he'd condensed through the Azure Rainbow Art dissolving rapidly.
Part of his true energy scattered away with the collapse of his old technique; the rest, stripped of its original technique's nature, remained stored in his dantian.
Qin Qingshan was no Bai Chi—he instantly realized this was unquestionably the supreme method of dispersal.
With this dispersal method, even the Ascension Realm couldn't match it.
At this moment, he was filled with anticipation for the Small Cosmos Art—he longed to know what his cultivation would become after dispersal.
Even Qin Qingshan felt the immense power of the Small Cosmos Art's dispersal; Liu Yinzhu and Sang Yuhe understood even better its benefits.
Some low-level servitor disciples completed dispersal within just half a day.
When they began cultivating the Small Cosmos Art, they were thrilled to discover its Zhou Tian cycles absorbed spiritual energy at more than ten times their previous rate.
This was even with their poor talent—what if their talent were higher?
They soon discovered another thing: when the sect master cultivated here, their understanding of the Dao deepened.
The fastest-growing was Mo Huiping.
Mo Huiping's talent was top-tier—otherwise, Liu Yinzhu would never have taken her as a disciple.
She had never reached Foundation Establishment; within one day, she fully dispersed her old technique and switched to the Small Cosmos Art.
Three days later, she had condensed a vast expanse of star dust; by the end of half a month, her star dust was fully perfected.
This left her overwhelmed with excitement.
Before this, she had been at the peak of Qi Condensation for over a year—unable to reach Foundation Establishment due to the lack of a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Over the past few years, the sect had been in turmoil; as Liu Yinzhu's disciple, she couldn't even obtain a single Foundation Establishment Pill.
Now she realized how fortunate she'd been not to have reached Foundation Establishment—she was the first to complete dispersal and the first to reach star dust perfection.
She also knew why she had achieved star dust perfection so quickly: two reasons.
First, though she had dispersed her cultivation, her true energy hadn't been significantly depleted—it remained entirely gathered in her dantian.
Second, Ding Huan was cultivating, turning the entire grand hall into a spiritual energy pool.
The Small Cosmos Art was especially suited to this kind of true energy conversion, allowing her to complete star dust condensation in the shortest possible time.
Even without a Foundation Establishment Pill, Mo Huiping still harbored a desire—to attempt breaking into the Star Cloud realm.
She felt that if she waited until Ding Huan stopped cultivating, her attempt would be far less effective.
Thinking it, she acted—she began condensing star clouds using the method for breaking into the Star Cloud realm.
After the first Zhou Tian, a spiritual energy vortex instantly formed above her head; the first star cloud already took shape.
Overcome with excitement, she nearly shattered the star cloud—she forced herself to calm down and continued cycling Zhou Tian to condense the star cloud.
When the first star cloud was fully formed, Mo Huiping's hands trembled with excitement.
Calm down, you must calm down.
At this moment, she finally understood why the sect master was so powerful.
At this moment, her true energy surged like a mighty river—she had never fought a Foundation Establishment beginner, yet now she felt certain: any Foundation Establishment beginner who came at her, she could defeat.
One month later, Ding Huan ceased cultivating.
The moment Ding Huan stopped, the spiritual energy in the hall instantly weakened, and everyone halted their cultivation.
"Huan Ge, I almost missed this incredible technique."
Yan Mei was the second cultivator to condense a star cloud—she, too, flushed with excitement.
"Sect Master, I'm now Star Cloud realm—I believe within three months, I'll reclaim True Pill realm… no, Star Storage realm."
While speaking, Liu Yinzhu felt relieved that she had still chosen to switch to cultivating the Small Universe Art; otherwise, she would surely have been the worst in the sect in the future.
Sang Yuhe said nothing. She had just stepped into the Nebula. The moment she stepped into the Nebula, she knew Ding Huan had not deceived her.
When Ding Huan killed Qi Yushan back then, he absolutely had not reached the True Pill realm.
Ding Huan said in a clear, loud voice: "After a month of cultivation, everyone has switched to cultivating the Small Universe Art.
The Small Universe Art I gave you can only be cultivated up to the Star Accumulation level. In the future, if you reach the peak of Star Accumulation and wish to step into the Star realm, you'll need to exchange sect contribution points for it."
"Sect Master, don't worry, I will absolutely not let down your expectations." Qin Qingshan's tone was ringing and clear.
In a month's time, he had also just stepped back into the Nebula realm.
Although the true yuan stored in his dantian had been completely depleted, and it would take a long time to step into the late Nebula realm again, he did not regret it at all.
He absolutely believed that his current early Nebula realm could easily handle his former late Foundation Establishment self.
"Sect Master, go ahead and assign tasks. I feel Blue Star Sect will surely become the greatest sect on my Third Heaven Star Land."
Even the always conservative Sang Yuhe had a tone tinged with excitement and a hint of fervor.
Ding Huan was very satisfied:
"I won't assign tasks for now. Everyone may choose the mountain peak with the richest spiritual energy to cultivate.
Zhaoxia Peak is also fine for cultivation. In one year, we'll hold a sect assembly here again, and at that time I'll assign everyone's tasks.
Remember, in a year we may open the mountain gate, so each of you must work hard to raise your strength within this year. Of course, if you feel your strength is improving too slowly, you may also go to Zixi Peak to cultivate."
"Sect Master, are you cultivating at Zixi Peak?" Qin Qingshan immediately grasped the meaning of Ding Huan's words.
Ding Huan nodded:
"Yes, I'm cultivating at Zixi Peak."
With Ding Huan's words, everyone would surely go to Zixi Peak without needing any persuasion.
When Ding Huan cultivated, it wasn't just that the spiritual energy was rich; it also carried the rule imprints of his cultivation method.
Cultivating under such clear rule imprints of a cultivation method, their progress was extremely fast.
"In that case, everyone move on to Zixi Peak." Ding Huan said immediately.
"Brother Huan, what about me?" Old Six repeated once more in a pitiful tone.
It suspected Brother Huan had already forgotten about it. Everyone else was cultivating, while it had foolishly waited here for over a month.
"Go to Zixi Peak, I'll think of a way for you." Ding Huan patted Old Six on the head.
The Small Universe Art also came in several types. The Small Universe Art everyone was currently cultivating was different from the one he had given Ji Xinting to cultivate.
This time, Ding Huan planned to let Old Six cultivate the Small Universe Art he had given Ji Xinting.
……
Zixi Peak was very large; accommodating thirty-some people for cultivation was absolutely no problem.
Here, Ding Huan had added another spiritual vein. Even if he didn't cultivate, the heaven and earth spiritual energy of Zixi Peak was shockingly rich.
Ding Huan really wanted to produce a Primordial Soul realm expert within a year, but he also knew this was probably a bit difficult.
Apart from himself, whether it was Liu Yinzhu or Sang Yuhe, stepping into the Primordial Soul realm within a year was not very likely.
As everyone began to continue their frenzied cultivation, Ding Huan called Old Six over:
"Old Six, the reason you can't advance is simply that your flesh isn't good enough.
I have one method: completely annihilate all your meridians and acupoints, then cultivate a new cultivation method. Of course, this carries some risk?"
"Brother Huan, I'm willing." Almost at the same instant Ding Huan spoke the method, Old Six agreed without the slightest hesitation.
It currently had no second path to walk.
"Then fine." This time Ding Huan couldn't even be bothered to use poison; he directly used the Great Universe Art to erase Old Six's meridians and acupoints.
When Ding Huan erased Old Six's meridians, he did not let Old Six fall unconscious.
Old Six gritted its way through it with sheer vicious determination, not uttering a single sound.
A day later, Ding Huan copied the Small Universe Art he had given Ji Xinting to cultivate, made another copy for Old Six, and only then left Zixi Peak.
Ding Huan also really wanted to cultivate, but he still had more important things to do.
Next, Ding Huan spent three months setting up new Killing Arrays and Trapping Killing Arrays within the sect.
Not only that, he also added another layer of Level-5 Defensive Array inside the sect's protective array.
When all of these were fully set up, Ding Huan had finally advanced to a Level-6 Array Master.
Ding Huan truly didn't want to keep setting up arrays. He'd cultivate first; he'd upgrade the sect's grand array after coming out of seclusion.
With his current upgrades to Blue Star Sect's grand array, if the Nine Sound Gate attacked again, he alone could even wipe out ten thousand of them.
One could only say Gu Mo was truly useless; the sect didn't even set up Trapping Killing and Killing Arrays. How much confidence did that take?
He didn't know that within the sect, only Elder He could set up Trapping Killing and Killing Arrays. This parasite Elder He would absolutely never spend time setting up Trapping Killing Arrays for the sect.
As for the Array Masters invited from the Ascension Realm, when setting up arrays for any sect, they only provided Defensive Arrays; there was no such thing as setting up Trapping Killing Arrays.

Friends without monthly tickets, don't tip me just because you see me begging for monthly tickets — that's really unnecessary and there's no need, haha.
