Chapter 82

Whether it was the method of seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha from the Buddhist Zen sect, or the breathing and Qi-refining techniques of the Daoist Alchemy sect.

Or the cultivation insights of the Confucian righteous energy, or even some strange methods from the Demonic sect regarding the use of spiritual power.

As long as it was valuable, he would listen carefully and feel it with his heart.

While reciting these martial arts classics, Wang Wang Yuyan would occasionally offer some of her own unique insights.

Although she did not know Wu Gong, she had read ten thousand volumes of martial arts and had a broad vision.

Sometimes, some of her seemingly casual pointers could bring Ning Chuan unexpected inspiration.

For example, when talking about some methods of refining the essence of heaven and earth.

Wang Wang Yuyan once quoted from the Daoist classic "Taiqing Zhonghuang True Scripture":

"The moon is the essence of the Great Yin, capable of nourishing the soul and washing away dust."

"If a cultivator can breathe in the moonlight on a full moon night according to specific methods, they can purify their spirit and increase their Dao practice."

Or for example, she once mentioned what was recorded in the "Baopuzi Inner Chapters":

"Consuming the essence of the sun and moon is the way to increase longevity."

"The sun is the essence of the Great Yang, governing the growth of all things; the moon is the essence of the Great Yin, governing stillness and nourishing the spirit."

"Only when Yin and Yang are in harmony can one live long and see for a long time."

These discussions about the essence of the sun and moon, as well as some Daoist insights about the transformation of Yin and Yang and the interaction of the Five Elements.

All gave Ning Chuan some new ideas when conceiving the demon cultivation method.

Coupled with the many martial arts he had "obtained" from Xiao Xiao Yuanshan, Ouyang Feng, Dai Dai Qisi, Southern Murong Fu, and others before.

As well as the exquisite martial arts collected by Peach Blossom Island itself, and that profound Nine Yin Manual.

Ning Chuan's current martial arts foundation could be said to have reached an extremely deep level.

Laying an incredibly solid foundation for him to create the path of demon cultivation in the future.

He began to try to integrate these disparate pieces of knowledge.

Combining the characteristics of his own flood dragon bloodline and his initial perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

To create a supreme demon cultivation method that was truly suitable for himself, allowing him to constantly evolve and eventually become a true dragon!

Night fell once again.

A bright moon hung high in the pitch-black night sky, casting a cold and sacred radiance.

On the sea surface, the waves sparkled as if covered with a layer of crushed silver.

Ning Chuan's massive flood dragon body coiled above the sea.

He lifted his hideous and majestic flood dragon head, looking up at the bright moon.

Feeling the pure and gentle power of the moonlight slowly permeating his scales, nourishing his flesh and soul.

In his mind, countless inspirations surged like a galloping river, rising and falling endlessly!

"The general outline of the Nine Yin Manual says: The Way of Heaven reduces the surplus and supplements the deficiency, therefore the void overcomes the solid, and the insufficient overcomes the surplus..."

"This is the ultimate principle of the transformation of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth, and also the mystery of energy conservation and transformation."

"I want to cultivate as a demon, which means to seize the creation of heaven and earth, supplement my own deficiencies, go against the heavens, and transform from mortal to immortal!"

He also recalled the description in Huang Huang Yaoshi's Grandmaster notes about mobilizing the power of heaven and earth and releasing energy externally.

"A Grandmaster can use energy to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, breaking rivers and mountains. But this power is ultimately borrowed, not his own."

"A Grandmaster condenses a solid pill, and their perception and use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are more exquisite, but it is still difficult to truly refine it into their own source power."

"If one wants to truly control the power of heaven and earth and make it one's own, one must find a different path!"

He gazed again at the bright moon, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was everywhere but difficult to capture.

In his heart, the sentences from those Daoist classics about refining the essence of the sun and moon and cultivating the Golden Core and Nascent Soul surfaced again.

"The 'Supreme Cave Mystery Spiritual Treasure Immeasurable Salvation Superior Scripture' says: 'The soul of the sun and the spirit of the moon, when they meet in one place, the three and five merge, and the one Qi is mysterious.'"

"This speaks of the wonder of the intersection of Yin and Yang and the condensation of true essence."

"The 'Superior Clarity Great Cave True Scripture' also records: 'Refining the form with the Great Yin, refining the spirit with the Great Yang, Yin and Yang generate each other, and one will not perish through ten thousand kalpas.'"

"This is the way to temper form and spirit and pursue immortality."

"..."

"..."

Ning Chuan knew that even for Grandmaster-level powerhouses, the efficiency of absorbing and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely low.

They mostly used their own martial arts energy to resonate with the power of heaven and earth, thereby borrowing a portion of the power of heaven and earth.

They could not, like the legendary immortal cultivators, directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies and refine it into their own magic power or true essence.

Ning Chuan decided to start with this essence of the moon!

He wanted to try to create a method that could actively absorb and refine this Great Yin moonlight and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use!

This was the first step in his path of demon cultivation, and also the most critical step!

Inspiration erupted in his mind like a volcanic eruption!

[You combined the Nine Yin Manual, Huang Huang Yaoshi's Grandmaster notes, Xiao Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts insights, and various Daoist classics regarding breathing, Qi-refining, refining the essence of the sun and moon, and condensing Yin and Yang Qi...]

[You perceived the pure and gentle power of the Great Yin moonlight, as well as its characteristics of nourishing the soul and washing the body...]

[You combined your own flood dragon bloodline's natural affinity for water and Yin-cold energy...]

[You created a breathing technique unique to the flood dragon body that can actively absorb and refine Great Yin moonlight and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth—Moon Spirit Breathing Technique!]

Ning Chuan was overjoyed!

Moon Spirit Breathing Technique!

Although this was only an introductory breathing technique, it marked that he had successfully taken the first step in creating a demon cultivation method!

This was a good start!

A start full of hope!

He immediately followed the method of the Moon Spirit Breathing Technique and began to try to absorb and refine the bright moonlight.

His massive flood dragon body, bathed in the moonlight, exuded a faint layer of silver halo.

Strands of cold and pure moonlight power, as if guided, continuously flowed into his body and were slowly absorbed and refined by his mysterious black flood dragon pill.

He continued to contemplate.

Based on the Moon Spirit Breathing Technique, he began to combine his own powerful flood dragon bloodline and his initial perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Deeply exploring the source Great Dao belonging to the demon race, which devours all things and evolves oneself!

He wanted to create a supreme demon method that would allow him to constantly devour energy, constantly evolve his bloodline, and eventually become a true dragon!

But this path was destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles.

He felt that in the process of deducing the cultivation method, there was always an invisible bottleneck, an inexplicable obstacle.

As if a force from the dark was suppressing him, not allowing him to easily touch the path leading to a higher level of life.

Finally.

Ning Chuan let out a dragon roar toward the sky, filled with unwillingness and stubbornness!

He perceived it!

It was a suppression originating from the laws of heaven and earth!

It was a test for alien cultivators, especially for demon beasts like him who were evolving against the heavens!

The path of demon cultivation is inherently going against the heavens!

If one wants to transcend the mundane and become a true dragon, one must experience heavy tribulations before one can succeed!

"Hmph! The Way of Heaven is unfair, treating all things as straw dogs!"

"Even with ten thousand tribulations and a thousand dangers, don't even think about blocking my determination to become a dragon, be carefree, and control my own destiny!"

In Ning Chuan's pale golden dragon pupils, an incomparably brilliant light erupted, filled with domineering ambition and unyielding determination!

[You perceived the suppression and testing of the laws of heaven and earth on alien cultivators...]

[You understood the difficulties and tribulations of the demon race's evolution path...]

[You combined your own unyielding will and heaven-defying comprehension, as well as your desire for the path of becoming a dragon...]

[You initially deduced a general outline that can constantly stimulate bloodline potential through overcoming tribulations and eventually achieve a leap in life level—Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method (First Tribulation · Flood Dragon Tribulation)!]

In Ning Chuan's heart, an indescribable ecstasy and excitement surged again!

Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method!
