Chapter 511

The so-called direct path to the Mahayana stage was only theoretical.

The cultivation technique brought out by Deputy Hall Master Master Youquan was actually only a cultivation method for the Jin Dan stage.

But even so!

Just the scene described by the other party was enough to make Luo Chen tempted.

Mahayana or not, it was really too much of a castle in the air.

If he could change the cultivation speed of a five-element spirit root to the efficiency of a single spirit root, combined with Luo Chen's alchemy skills, he would very likely achieve the accomplishments of the legendary heavenly spirit root cultivators.

That is, Foundation Establishment in ten years, Core Formation in a hundred years, and Nascent Soul in two hundred years!

In this way, when his lifespan skyrocketed to a thousand years, whether it was cultivating forces or sprinting toward Soul Transformation, he could be much more relaxed.

In short, there was hope for longevity!

Bowing his head and looking at the fire feather in his hand, Luo Chen was extremely excited.

Only in a corner that the two women above could not notice did a trace of clarity flash in Luo Chen's eyes.

"Why give me such a divine technique for no reason?"

Upon learning he was to see Master Youquan, Luo Chen had quietly activated the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" technique, which he had cultivated to perfection, at the beginning of his ascent.

Not released externally, but applied to himself.

Because the hidden array engraved on his body did not reveal anything through illusion.

The other party did not discover his abnormality.

However, the strange soul attack from Master Youquan, which was always affecting those with lower soul foundations than her, was still there, and Luo Chen fell into it at first.

It took a long while before he slowly recovered.

Therefore, he had this trace of clarity.

Borrowing this trace of clarity, Luo Chen took the opportunity to make an excited and uncontrollable reaction.

"What virtue or ability does this junior have to receive such a divine technique from the senior? Although I am happy in my heart, I am also terrified and uneasy!"

Master Youquan did not notice anything wrong and said casually: "Don't worry about us plotting anything against you; you don't have anything worth plotting. Take it and learn it well; with a higher cultivation base, you can refine more Di Liu Jiang for us every day. If the avian holy land Mount Mount Cangwu grows in the future, you will definitely have a share of the credit."

Was it just because the daily share of Di Liu Jiang was not enough?

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But he still tentatively said:

"With such a divine technique, this junior naturally wants to learn it. But many years ago, I determined a set of main cultivation techniques and practiced them to a good level. Now, changing to another method, I fear I lack the strength and worry about disappointing the senior."

"You are overthinking it!"

Master Youquan laughed and said proudly: "This 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' can be called the ancestor of all fire methods in the world! I obtained a complete set of the 'Burning Wood True Technique' you practice from human cultivators, and after a little research, I found that you can seamlessly switch to the 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra.' Even, as long as you can get started, you will instantly lay a solid foundation for this sutra."

When she said this, not only was Luo Chen shocked.

Even Master Qing Shuang, who was on the side, showed a look of surprise.

Master Youquan laughed: "This solid foundation is that as long as you pass one Nirvana, you can instantly possess the cultivation speed of a heavenly spirit root!"

Having said this, Luo Chen had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, under the influence of the other party's soul, he could only test the waters and could not make any rebellious moves.

And!

One Nirvana!

Ancestor of fire methods!

Cultivation speed of a heavenly spirit root!

Every word was plucking his heartstrings and provoking his nerves.

He had suffered from slow cultivation speed for a long time!

Since that was the case.

Luo Chen held the fire feather and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Senior, for the technique!"

Under Duzhen Hall, in a third-tier top-grade cave dwelling.

Luo Chen closed his eyes tightly, and the fire feather hovered above his head.

As his spiritual sense and power merged into it, dazzling red light spilled down, and in a daze, a red-gold light curtain appeared in the void.

On the light curtain, characters like tadpoles and ancient seals eventually evolved into different forms of flames, burning slowly around Luo Chen.

【In Sui Ming, there is a great tree called Sui, winding for ten thousand acres, with clouds and mist emerging from between them.】

【The phoenix bird pecks at the tree, and fire emerges brilliantly; the Sui people felt it, drilled wood to take fire, and obtained the foundation of heaven and earth's natural fire method.】

【Therefore, Sui and the Phoenix together controlled the fire of heaven and earth, called Sui-Phoenix; because the human race is good at changing history, they erased the Phoenix's merit and used Sui-Emperor as a respectful title.】

【Heavenly Phoenix Fire Ancestor, cloud-driven dragon carriage. Qi controls Zhu Ming, containing the righteous sun.】

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was worthy of being called the divine technique known as the ancestor of all fire methods in the world.

Even though Luo Chen did not know the ancient demon language, after the fire-type spiritual power was merged into it, he could still understand the meaning of the characters recorded in the fire feather.

As for whether the explanation of the so-called Sui and Phoenix in these meanings was correct or not, he did not care.

This kind of text was like the preface of a book, having little to do with the main text, and was often just a general introduction.

His mind gradually sank into the cultivation content within.

"Burn everything in the world to serve as cultivation resources; when there is nothing left to burn, burn oneself to reach a state of purity and cleanliness—this is called ultimate Nirvana."

"What an extreme cultivation method!"

"No wonder Master Youquan would say that a five-element spirit root can also be seen as having the cultivation efficiency of a heavenly spirit root."

"In the past, every time I practiced, apart from wood and fire spiritual energy, I would inevitably absorb other chaotic spiritual energies of various attributes, leading to impure spiritual energy in my body that needed constant purification and refinement."

"But if I practice according to this method, I can completely ignore it, absorb all the spiritual energy corresponding to the spirit roots, and then use my own fire-attribute spiritual power to burn and refine it into cultivation resources. In this way, I save a lot of effort, and the efficiency naturally increases greatly."

Of course!

According to the records in the sutra.

This extreme cultivation method only appears after the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" reaches a certain level of attainment.

As for what attainment?

That is the "One Nirvana Realm" mentioned by Master Youquan.

The so-called "Nirvana" means the transformation of life and death.

It records the theory of nine tribulations and three nirvanas, but the nine tribulations were not mentioned, while the three nirvanas were clearly marked.

Spiritual power Nirvana, physical body Nirvana, soul Nirvana.

These three nirvanas correspond to the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit in traditional cultivation, and can also correspond to the meaning of the three flowers gathering at the top when forming a Nascent Soul.

Once the three nirvanas are completed, one possesses the foundation for immortality, and the Great Dao can be reached!

Before this.

There are also specific cultivation methods.

That is to use one's own true fire to temper the chaotic spiritual energy, making it reach pure fire-attribute spiritual power.

If one has refined source true fire, that is the best!

After spending a day and a night reading the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" carefully without any omissions, Luo Chen was extremely excited.

This technique was simply tailor-made for him.

It was far better than all the strange techniques he had seen along the way.

He had source true fire, and its grade was as high as fourth-tier!

Using source true fire to temper chaotic spiritual power—this kind of operation, he had actually done something similar, which was what Qing Qing Danzi taught him: using true fire to refine magic treasures.

Finally, there was the change in cultivation speed brought about after reaching the One Nirvana Realm.

Why did Master Youquan say that if Luo Chen reached the One Nirvana Realm, his cultivation speed could be comparable to a heavenly spirit root cultivator?

The reason lies in the fact that Luo Chen himself possesses a five-element spirit root.

When absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy, he passively absorbs spiritual energy of various attributes into his body.

With such balance, he only needs to refine it at that time, and the efficiency is far better than double or triple spirit root cultivators switching to the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra."

"From the worst spirit root quality and the slowest cultivation speed to the best quality and the fastest cultivation speed—such a change, even if they have plans, I will not hesitate."

After studying this technique deeply, Luo Chen could no longer resist its temptation.

Moreover, he didn't have anything that people would want to plot against.

At most, it was just his alchemy skills.

Even if the other party didn't give this technique, he would still have to contribute his alchemy skills.

What was the difference?

In a situation where there was no difference, getting more benefits was the best way not to treat oneself unfairly!

Thinking through all this, Luo Chen, with no more worries in his heart, planned to switch his main cultivation technique.

However.

Time passed slowly.

After a full ten days, Luo Chen still had not reached the introductory level.

"Is there something wrong?"

Luo Chen was completely baffled.

He even wanted to go to Duzhen Hall to ask Master Youquan for the reason.

However, for him, even if he couldn't get started, he had a cheat.

Clicking on the attribute panel, Luo Chen's gaze slid down instantly to the achievement point position.

"After all, it is just a chapter of the technique corresponding to the Jin Dan stage."

"It is just right for my current realm; it only needs ten achievement points, no harm done!"

With a thought, he directly chose to use achievement points to get started.

This was also the second technique Luo Chen had used achievement points to get started with, after the fourth-tier Dragon Slaying Technique.

After a flash of light, a sense of realization surged into Luo Chen's mind.

"So that's it!"

He muttered to himself, knowing where the problem lay.

The "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was, after all, a technique created for the Phoenix clan, so it did not correspond to the bodies of human cultivators.

No matter how high his talent for techniques was, this kind of racial barrier was something talent could not break.

And the solution, Master Youquan had actually already given him.

"This fire feather!"

Suddenly, Luo Chen looked at the feather that recorded the technique.

If he was not mistaken, this should be a Phoenix feather, which retained a trace of Phoenix bloodline.

Not much, even thin to the extreme.

Let alone some life-bound true feather, it was probably just a piece of down.

But because of this trace of bloodline, it just happened to allow Luo Chen to possess a Phoenix-like bloodline, and then practicing the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" would be a matter of course.

"So, what I need to do now is to refine it."

Hiss!

A strand of green flame surged from Luo Chen's fingertips and landed on the fire feather.

A strange fragrance drifted out as the fire feather melted, giving people a sense of restlessness.

A moment later, the fire feather turned into a stream of light and merged into Luo Chen's body.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Chen began to circulate the technique.

Three hours later.

Luo Chen opened his eyes abruptly.

He saw that on the attribute panel, a new entry had appeared.

【Technique: Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra (Introductory 1/100)】

"I succeeded!"

Luo Chen muttered.

"He succeeded!"

Inside Duzhen Hall, Master Youquan's expression moved slightly.

A burnt smell came from her body.

Because of this trace of connection, she knew that Luo Chen had learned the technique.

Waving her wings to fan away the burnt smell, a look of satisfaction appeared on the black crow's face.

She had originally thought about finding time to give Luo Chen some pointers.

She didn't expect this child to really have unique talent in practicing techniques and spells.

He actually figured this out so quickly.

She did not know that Luo Chen had used a cheat.

Of course, with Luo Chen's talent, given some time, he would have been able to figure out this key point himself.

However, the current situation did not allow Luo Chen to ponder slowly, so Luo Chen decisively used the cheat and did not delay too much time at the introductory hurdle.

Master Youquan stood up and flew out of Duzhen Hall.

"The true meaning of Nirvana is everywhere; it is the original intention of finding life in death."

"Burning the fire feather and casting the bloodline is Nirvana, but it is too superficial."

"To truly reach the One Nirvana Realm, it takes more than just this little effort!"

After successfully switching his main cultivation technique, Luo Chen gradually abandoned the "Burning Wood True Technique," which had reached the master level.

His cultivation speed also received a qualitative improvement.

According to his judgment, with all external conditions leveled out, his current cultivation speed was no weaker than that of a triple spirit root cultivator—four to five times faster than before!

This was still a huge gap from the cultivation speed of a heavenly spirit root cultivator recorded in the sutra.

But even so, Luo Chen was very satisfied.

His external conditions were not bad at all now!

Although the supply of Star Pills was temporarily cut off, he had a top-grade third-tier spirit vein.

Calculating based on the amount of spiritual power refined daily, he predicted that he could advance to the third level of Jin Dan in at most seven or eight years.

Being this fast already made him very satisfied.

He had estimated before that even with a top-grade third-tier spirit land, it would take at least ten years to break through to the third level of Jin Dan.

Now that it had been shortened so much, one could see how important a truly suitable main cultivation technique was for a cultivator.

"However, how can I complete the transformation of spiritual power and reach the One Nirvana Realm, thereby possessing a cultivation speed comparable to a heavenly spirit root cultivator?"

"The true introduction in Master Youquan's mouth should be the One Nirvana Realm, right!"

On the mountainside square, Luo Chen was refining Di Liu Jiang while pondering the problems of cultivation.

Because of He He Qingzi's request, he had to slow down the alchemy steps so that those demon beasts and birds could see clearly.

Luo Chen was already at the point where he didn't fear more lice; let them learn if they wanted to!

People without talent wouldn't be able to learn even if they looked closely.

It was impossible for everyone to have a cheat like him!

This was also good; because he slowed down, he could calmly divide his attention to think about other problems.

When a furnace of Di Liu Jiang was finished.

As expected, there was another round of praise.

"Every time I see it, human alchemy is so amazing to me."

"Those demon wolf corpses are smelly and fishy; I didn't expect them to be transformed into such mellow spirit pills."

"That's because Master Luo Chen's alchemy skills are powerful."

"Speaking of which, Master Luo Chen's fire control technique is becoming more and more exquisite; just now I was squeezed closer by you, and I didn't feel the slightest scorching heat of his source true fire."

"Otherwise, why is he the most famous alchemy master of the human race!"

In front of a group of low-tier demon beasts with little knowledge, Luo Chen was naturally praised to the heavens.

He didn't care about these praises.

He just considered it the transformation of alchemy skills brought about by his Di Liu Jiang proficiency reaching the perfection level.

However, the voices about his fire control technique becoming more exquisite echoed in his heart for the next few days.

During one day of cultivation.

Luo Chen woke up abruptly.

"I understand!"

"This 'Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra' is less of a cultivation technique and more of an ultimate utilization of fire!"

"Because the time for switching techniques is getting longer, my utilization of source true fire is getting better, but it's still not good enough!"

As for why it wasn't good enough?

The reason was extremely obvious.

Luo Chen's mind moved, and he spread his hands, with two strands of spiritual power, one green and one red, surging out.

The red one, needless to say.

And the green one was the wood-attribute spiritual power he had practiced for the past hundred years.

Because this wood-attribute spiritual power was present, his fire-attribute spiritual power was still not pure enough, so his utilization of fire could not reach the ultimate state.

If he wanted to reach that state, he had to abandon the original wood-attribute spiritual power.

But if he did that, he feared that most of his cultivation realm would be wasted.

After all, the realm of the second level of Jin Dan was mostly supported by wood-attribute spiritual power.

Luo Chen was reluctant.

"If abandoning it doesn't work, then I'll refine it and turn it into fire-attribute spiritual power, won't that work?"

After this thought emerged.

Luo Chen pondered repeatedly and finally decided to implement it.

Moreover, he had the basic conditions for transforming spiritual power.

"Burning Wood True Technique"!

This was itself a dual-attribute cultivation technique that used the concept of wood generating fire to achieve wood-to-fire transformation and enhance explosive power.

Especially after Luo Chen reached the master level, he had long understood this trick in his heart.

What he needed to do now was just to be more decisive and cut off the roots of the wood-attribute spiritual power.

Of course, if he really did this, he would have to give up quite a lot.

Many spells that required wood-attribute spiritual power, such as Entanglement, Healing, and Flower Fairy, would probably not be usable in the future.

Even, because after a complete transformation, the spiritual power in his body would be "fire-dominant" and would not tolerate other spiritual powers.

Most of the other five-element spells Luo Chen practiced, except for fire methods, would also be unusable.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be reluctant to give them up.

But Luo Chen had already thought it through: thousands of spells and ten thousand divine powers are just means to protect the Dao.

Only the realm is the foundation!

In the face of absolute cultivation speed and the absolute realm it brings, knowing many things is not as good as being proficient in one.

Later, he could just learn more fire-type spells and divine powers to fill the gap.

After thinking it through, Luo Chen did not rush to transform his spiritual power immediately.

Instead, he finished refining all the Di Liu Jiang raw materials prepared by He He Qingzi, then asked for leave to come and retreat.

He was prepared to do it in one go and complete this step.

In the third-tier top-grade cave dwelling, the corresponding formations and restrictions had already been set up.

Luo Chen's eyes showed expectation.

"Perhaps, spiritual power transformation is the key to reaching the One Nirvana Realm!"

After a mutter, the spiritual power in his body began to circulate.

This time, the route of circulation had changed to the master-level "Burning Wood True Technique."

Burning wood! Burning wood!

This time, the wood-type spiritual power in Luo Chen's body burned completely.

A green radiance suddenly emerged from his body, and then became more and more powerful.

Time passed continuously.

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

With Luo Chen's deep foundation, the wood-attribute spiritual power he possessed was also an immense existence.

The time required to completely transform it would inevitably be very long.

In this process, he also had to be careful not to damage his Jin Dan and meridians, so as not to damage his Great Dao foundation.

Just as he was transforming his cultivation technique, Luo Chen subconsciously began to circulate the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra."

Two sets of techniques were circulated at the same time.

And in the gas sea.

Boom!

The withered-prosperous true fire soared into the sky, completely wrapping the Jin Dan.

Looking at it, it actually had the intention of refining the Jin Dan.

At this moment, Luo Chen verified his guess.

"Sure enough, the so-called spiritual power Nirvana is fire-dominant, without impurities."

"As long as I pass this hurdle, I will be reborn in Nirvana and possess a cultivation speed comparable to a heavenly spirit root!"

"Longevity will finally be in sight!"

Luo Chen closed his eyes, and thoughts rose and fell in his sea of consciousness.

And his aura fluctuated between vigorous power and dead gray, presenting a strange state of coexistence of withering and prosperity.
