Chapter 64: Indestructible Heavenly Art, Opening the Bitter Sea!
Sighing in his heart, Zhang Xuan's speed in reading the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art was not slow at all.
As the legacy left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor, one of the most legendary figures, the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art are top-tier divine techniques with significant milestone importance.
They allow all mortal cultivators to defy the heavens and change their fate, reaching the absolute pinnacle with a mortal physique, and to step onto the Human Race Ancient Road to compete with the most supreme figures on the path of the Emperors.
It can be said that they opened up an unprecedented path for ordinary cultivators.
Moreover, although this path is somewhat rugged to walk, it is quite steady.
The cultivation speed is also terrifyingly fast; after all, one can swallow the Origin of figures with top-tier physiques, and the Origin of a powerful physique is like the most supreme spiritual medicine, making one's cultivation speed extremely fast.
The more Zhang Xuan read, the more satisfied he became, especially with the Indestructible Heavenly Art, which further perfected the shortcomings of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, such as the level that would incite the resentment of heaven and earth.
The Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art requires the coordination of many pills and spiritual herbs to swallow the Origin of others, but the Indestructible Heavenly Art no longer requires this in that regard.
It can similarly swallow the Origin of the most top-tier figures without being targeted or resented by heaven and earth, and one's own luck will not be affected too much; it can be said to be the most perfect method.
At least for Zhang Xuan, it is a method that is perfect to the point where it cannot be more perfect.
Combined with the detailed explanation provided by Qingdi, Zhang Xuan quickly gained a concrete and profound understanding of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art.
"The Indestructible Heavenly Art can restrain those who practice the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, and it can also absorb the many Origins swallowed by the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art into the body, but this aspect doesn't have much meaning for me; I don't want to actively swallow the Origin of living people."
Zhang Xuan skipped this part after reading it.
He simply does not need to actively swallow the Origins of those King Bodies or God races; if those figures have not offended him, he has no need to take action.
After all, he has many worlds in his hands, and it is very easy to go to other worlds to obtain unique Origins.
Even if the Origins in other worlds are not so suitable, without going to other worlds, there are already many figures with top-tier physiques on the Earth where he is currently staying.
After those figures with special physiques die, it is not difficult at all to obtain part of their Origin from them, and it will not cause too many problems.
In the Zhetian Universe, when Hua Yunfei and those related figures who practice the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art learned that Ye Fan came from a Life Ancient Star, and that there were no cultivators among the billions of people on that Life Ancient Star, they were so happy they almost went mad.
They once wanted to try everything to get to Earth, just to cultivate the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art to Great Completion under such conditions.
And now, Zhang Xuan is staying on Earth.
"However, my brain isn't fried; living well, there is no need to plunder the life Origin of living people, otherwise, if I get targeted by Ye Tiandi or other figures, the loss will outweigh the gain."
"Besides, if I really cultivate like this, what is the difference between me and those Supreme Ancient Emperors who started the Dark Turmoil?"
Zhang Xuan actively stifled such thoughts in his mind; this does not conform to his values, nor does it conform to his bottom line for cultivation.
Moreover, based on his understanding of the situation in the Zhetian Universe, the difficulty of wanting to cultivate the Indestructible Heavenly Art will not be as hard as ascending to heaven.
There are many figures with extremely powerful physiques who have died on the Beidou Gu Xing; just picking up corpses is enough, no need to do anything else.
"Hmm, I don't even need to pick them up myself; if I pay enough points, I imagine Qingdi would even take the initiative to help pick up corpses."
Thinking of the body of that Great Saint lying in the Sheng Ya, as well as the Secret of 'Xing' in the coffin of the Great Saint and the related legacy left by the Heavenly Court.
Zhang Xuan felt that if he were willing to pay more points and put forward corresponding requests, Qingdi should... uh, should not agree.
"That Great Saint on the Sheng Ya is, after all, one of the Nine Great Sacred Bodies that were invincible in heaven and earth back then; his status is special, and Qingdi might not necessarily send his remains over."
"Sigh!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan sighed lightly; that is truly a shortcut to reach the heavens in one step.
The Origin left behind by a Great Saint whose physical body can challenge a Great Emperor—if one could swallow such an Origin when first cultivating the Indestructible Heavenly Art, one's strength and realm would truly take off.
Even in the most oppressive heaven and earth environment like Earth, Zhang Xuan does not doubt that his own strength and realm would advance by leaps and bounds.
"Hmm, the body of that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body at the Saint level in the Eastern Wasteland who cultivated a single secret realm alone is more reliable."
Zhang Xuan thought carefully; in the current environment, the body of that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body should already be in the hands of the Demon Race.
If he wants to go over and take it, he definitely won't be able to; after all, it is the remains of a Saint-level figure.
But if he lets Qingdi go get it, Qingdi might not care about the body of this Saint-level Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, but how to get a Great Emperor to take action to retrieve such an item is a big problem.
"Damn, life is too hard; clearly there are invincible figures to help, but it's impossible to let the other party help too specifically and become a nanny!"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but curse in a low voice, feeling a little irritable.
"And the top priority now is to save up points; it doesn't need to be too many, just enough to obtain a small part of the cultivation method of the Indestructible Heavenly Art, especially the first part of the cultivation method."
"When the time comes, I will need the Origin, and then it will be reasonable to post some tasks in the Chat Group."
Zhang Xuan took a deep breath; he had actually already firmly memorized the full version of the Indestructible Heavenly Art in his heart.
Yes, Zhang Xuan wants to cultivate the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, and he does not intend to give up the Indestructible Heavenly Art either.
After all, he can obtain the Origins of different powerful figures from the Heavens and Myriad Worlds; if he wants to strengthen himself, his speed will simply take off.
And he also has an impression of the corpses of many powerful physiques in the Zhetian Universe, as well as the corresponding existences; it is not difficult to obtain them.
If he can seize the opportunity, whether it is the Origin of a Great Saint or the Origin of a Great Emperor level, he can obtain them, and it will be very easy to take off in one wave.
Such an opportunity must absolutely not be missed; the cultivation and strength of figures like the protagonists who joined the Chat Group are improving too fast.
If Zhang Xuan relaxes himself, it will be very easy to fall behind by one step, then fall behind at every step, and never be able to catch up with them again.
"And I cannot be satisfied with the status quo; I must work harder and open up some new paths. Currently, I am basically grabbing this sheep, Qingdi, to shear; if I shear him bald one day, it will be a big problem."
Zhang Xuan still has a plan in his heart; currently, the most eye-catching things in the Chat Group are the two peerless treasures, the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique and the Taishang Forgetting Emotions Record.
But the one most interested in these two top-tier treasures is Qingdi; others actually don't have such strong desires.
Chen Nan, Meng Qi, and Zhang Sanfeng, who joined the Chat Group at the beginning, have already obtained these two top-tier divine technique treasures; although they don't have the annotated versions, it is enough for now.
After all, simply put, the three of them are not very wealthy right now and cannot exchange for the corresponding annotated versions.
Chen Nan has Dugu Baitian personally explaining it, so he doesn't need it much; Meng Qi has Taishang Laojun personally pointing things out, so he doesn't need it much either.
The only one who needs it is Zhang Sanfeng, but Zhang Sanfeng has no money.
Wait until Qingdi exchanges for the corresponding annotated version of the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique...
Ding, 'I Want to Create the Immortal Realm' has downloaded the group file 'Taishang Laojun's Annotations on the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique'.
Zhang Xuan's face stiffened, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
The fattest sheep that could be sheared is suddenly not easy to shear anymore.
"I have to develop some new business and stimulate the confidence and vitality of others in the Chat Group; otherwise, these days will be too hard to live."
Zhang Xuan sighed silently in his heart, but for the moment, he could not think of any other good solution.
However, after sighing, looking at the complete versions of the Indestructible Heavenly Art and the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art in his hands, his eyes became bright and sparkling again.
"Having a platform is truly great; a platform really does conquer everything!"
After memorizing the Indestructible Heavenly Art, he carefully examined the version explained by Qingdi, and after a long while, he confirmed that his own insights into the Indestructible Heavenly Art were sufficient.
Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and went over it once more in his mind.
Only then did he gently exhale a breath, preparing to begin practicing the Indestructible Heavenly Art.
It is quite funny to say, he himself is a figure within the Zhetian Great Universe, yet he had never practiced the methods of the Zhetian World.
It was not that Qingdi had not uploaded relevant methods before, but they were never comprehensive; the Dao Scripture was indeed the best method for the Wheel Sea Realm, but it only had the first half, with the latter half missing.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xuan did not attempt to practice it directly.
And now, possessing the complete Indestructible Heavenly Art, Zhang Xuan began his first true practice of the Zhetian method.
His consciousness wandered within his body and then returned to stillness.
Having had the experience of practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, Zhang Xuan grasped this aspect very quickly.
Then, at the location of the Wheel Sea, Zhang Xuan felt a boundless Darkness; his heart was as calm as an ancient well, for he knew this was the Bitter Sea that many figures had to open up.
The opening of the Bitter Sea cannot be achieved overnight; it requires long years and also a sufficient amount of corresponding spiritual objects.
Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry; he took out the Dragon Inner Core sent by Chen Nan from his bosom, and immediately, a continuous stream of Life Essence surged from his hand into his body.
For the Nine Yang Divine Art, such vigorous Life Essence would be impossible to digest, but for the Indestructible Heavenly Art, such Life Essence was merely child's play.
Under the influx of the continuous Life Essence, it was as if water drops were piercing through stone; within the originally dark Bitter Sea, a point of light gradually began to bloom.
Countless Life Essence was refined and then polished within the Bitter Sea; a speck of light, smaller than a grain of rice, was lit up within the Bitter Sea and then blossomed.
The Bitter Sea, opened!
