Chapter 47: Opening the Grotto-Heaven

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Earth Immortal inheritance, Ye Qingxuan suppressed his inner excitement, closed his eyes tightly, and began to sift through the information in his mind to find details related to Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

He quickly found the secret method for refining the World Pearl and the technique for opening a Grotto-Heaven within it.

According to the information in the Earth Immortal inheritance.

The opening of a Blessed Land is largely similar to a Fortune Cultivator contracting a spiritual land, with no significant difference.

As for the opening of a Grotto-Heaven, just like a Fortune Cultivator contracting a Blessed Land, it also requires separating a portion of one's essence, qi, and spirit origin to merge into the World Pearl; this is the key to controlling Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.

The World Pearl, as the carrier of the Earth Immortal inheritance, had already been modified by the great power who left the inheritance.

Ye Qingxuan only needed to refine the World Pearl according to the secret method, merge his own essence, qi, and spirit origin into it, and then strike the World Pearl into a spatial node.

After understanding this information, Ye Qingxuan frowned! The first step of his Blessed Land opening, using his innate avatar, the Eternal Turtle, to contract the Blessed Land on his behalf, had already deviated from the orthodox path of Earth Immortal cultivation.

Would this cause any negative effects on his future cultivation of the Earth Immortal path?

Moreover, he did not really want to follow the traditional Earth Immortal path.

Although the traditional Earth Immortal path offers immense help to cultivators, the karmic constraints in the later stages are equally huge.

In the later stages, the bond between the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land and the cultivator grows deeper, perhaps becoming the cultivator's own weakness, which is not what Ye Qingxuan wants.

While deep in thought, Ye Qingxuan recalled his innate avatar, the Eternal Turtle, and the World Pearl in his mind. A flash of inspiration struck, and he hesitantly said, "How about... giving it a try?"

This sudden thought kept surfacing in Ye Qingxuan's mind, echoing continuously.

Only a moment later, Ye Qingxuan made up his mind, his eyes showing determination, and muttered to himself, "Since I've already gone off course from the start, I might as well go a bit further!"

After making his decision!

After refining the World Pearl in his mind space using the secret method from the Earth Immortal inheritance, Ye Qingxuan turned his gaze to his innate avatar, the Eternal Turtle. With a thought, the next second, the Eternal Turtle instantly vanished from his mind.

"Hahaha, it really works!"

The first step proceeded very smoothly; even Ye Qingxuan's steady temperament could not help but lose his composure for a moment.

His spiritual sense surged into the World Pearl. In the center of the pearl's gray misty space, there stood the Eternal Turtle, his innate avatar that had vanished.

He prepared to have the Eternal Turtle bear the Grotto-Heaven, allowing his innate avatar to fully merge with the Grotto-Heaven, thereby controlling the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land.

If successful, based on the characteristics of the Eternal Turtle after contracting a Blessed Land, he could completely bypass the karma of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, placing himself outside of it, while still enjoying all the benefits they bring.

By then, when the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land eventually merge into a small thousand-world, he will effectively have gained an additional small thousand-world as his innate avatar.

And it would be a world avatar possessing the special nature of the Eternal Turtle, fully capable of bypassing all karma generated by the world on his behalf.

Thinking of the future prospects, Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath. With a nervous heart, he carefully manipulated the World Pearl, attempting to extract it from his mind space.

Amidst Ye Qingxuan's tense emotions, the next moment, the World Pearl instantly appeared in the palm of his hand.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan beamed with joy and immediately sighed with relief: "Indeed, with the World Pearl as a barrier, this time the Eternal Turtle is no longer subjected to external pressure!"

After taking out the World Pearl, Ye Qingxuan began to control the Eternal Turtle to release its own origin. Using the Earth Immortal secret method, he caused the Eternal Turtle's origin to continuously merge with the World Pearl, preparing for the Eternal Turtle to integrate into the Grotto-Heaven! After smoothly completing the previous steps, the next part was to strike the World Pearl into a spatial node.

Originally, Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base was insufficient to achieve this step, but he had now become a Fortune Cultivator, and the Qingxuan Blessed Land he controlled was currently located in the inner space of the Earth-Myst Realm. Within the inner space of the Earth-Myst Realm, not far from the Qingxuan Blessed Land, many spatial nodes existed.

These spatial nodes were actually channels through which the inner space of the Earth-Myst Realm absorbed chaotic energy from the outside, and chaotic energy was the key to the continuous growth of the Grotto-Heaven.

Ye Qingxuan controlled the Qingxuan Blessed Land, sensed a relatively large spatial node, and then quickly threw out the World Pearl, using the power of the Blessed Land to send the World Pearl through the Blessed Land into that spatial node.

After successfully inserting the World Pearl into the spatial node, Ye Qingxuan immediately activated the secret method to activate the World Pearl.

Inside the World Pearl, the great power who left the Earth Immortal inheritance had set up a technique that could open a Grotto-Heaven on its own.

Otherwise, with Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base, even with the help of the World Pearl, he would not be sufficient to open a complete Grotto-Heaven.

The activated World Pearl began to ravage and devour the chaotic energy outside the spatial node, starting to accumulate for the opening of the Grotto-Heaven.

Meanwhile, under Ye Qingxuan's specific manipulation, his innate avatar, the Eternal Turtle, changed its form and began to merge with the World Pearl.

Seeing that everything was proceeding as planned, Ye Qingxuan finally sighed with relief:

"Everything is going smoothly. Now we just wait for enough energy to accumulate to open the Grotto-Heaven!"

According to his perception, it would still require waiting for three months.

During this time, he did not plan to do anything else. With the opening of the Grotto-Heaven imminent, he had no mind for other matters.

After taking out a transmission talisman to send a voice message to Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu outside the Blessed Land, instructing the two to build their own dwellings outside the Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan began to carefully examine the Earth Immortal inheritance in his mind.

Although the inheritance below the Immortal Realm had already merged into his mind, the information was simply too vast, and he still needed time to absorb and digest it.

The first thing Ye Qingxuan searched for and examined was the cultivation technique of the Earth Immortal.

The result: there was none!

Well, not exactly none; rather, the Earth Immortal cultivation technique was very special and basically varied from person to person.

The cultivation technique of the Earth Immortal path required the Earth Immortal practitioner to personally comprehend it! Yes, comprehend it themselves, comprehending it from the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land they opened!

In the Earth Immortal inheritance, the cultivation technique was merely a tutorial, teaching the practitioner how to merge with the heaven and earth of their own Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, and to comprehend a technique that perfectly suited them from within the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land.

The technique comprehended by the Earth Immortal practitioner themselves could be named by them, or simply referred to as the Earth Immortal Method!

Moreover, the Earth Immortal inheritance also contained a special technique named Earth Immortal Body!

The Earth Immortal Body also varied from person to person, or rather, from Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land to Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, because the Earth Immortal Body was evolved by refining the flesh through the dual origins of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land.

Depending on the characteristics of the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, the cultivated Earth Immortal Body would also differ. A first-rank Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land could only refine a first-rank Earth Immortal Body, corresponding to the Qi Refining realm cultivation.

Regarding this cultivation method of the Earth Immortal, Ye Qingxuan was not resistant; on the contrary, he was somewhat eager to try.

His greatest talent was his comprehension.

However, Ye Qingxuan did not rush to cultivate. After all, the Grotto-Heaven had not yet been opened, so he could only be patient and continue reading.
