Chapter 99

If you want to create a cultivation method, the general process is about the same as writing an article. The first is to understand the principles and basic framework of the Heaven and Earth Madman, which Wei Yuan has already completed; the second is to browse other destiny secret arts and Dao Foundation cultivation methods, gather ideas, and determine the train of thought; the third step is to create the cultivation method; the fourth step is to test the new cultivation method and find problems; the final step is to repeat the whole process according to the problems that appear, returning to the second or first step.

Now what Wei Yuan has to do is the second step. Anyway, the spiritual vein repair looks like a big project, and he does not know when it will be finished, so Wei Yuan got up and went to the Bositang.

The Dao Foundation Realm has a specially set up Bositang, which is much larger than the Body Forging Realm, and is a palace group composed of nine halls and pavilions. Wei Yuan did not have immortal silver at this time, but he had many merit points, so he paid merit points to enter the Bositang, found the destiny secret art and Dao Foundation cultivation method area under the guidance of the deacon Daoist, carefully selected more than a dozen books, and sat down to read them carefully.

The Bositang of the Dao Foundation Realm no longer limits the number of books borrowed and has set up a large number of desks for people to read inside. The desks are magic tools, which have the effect of clearing the heart and nourishing the spirit, and sitting on them to read can make one tireless for three days. In addition, the Dao Foundation Bositang charges by the day, and if you want to read here for a long time, you will be provided with free Qi-Drinking Elixirs.

Wei Yuan read the secret arts and cultivation methods one by one, and three hours passed unconsciously. He put this batch of cultivation methods back to their original positions, selected more than twenty, and continued to read. Just like this, a day and a night passed, and Wei Yuan finished reading more than fifty destiny secret arts.

After taking a Qi-Drinking Elixir, Wei Yuan moved back a pile of Dao Foundation Realm cultivation methods and continued to read.

After reading a hundred destiny secret arts and Dao Foundation cultivation methods, Wei Yuan already had a rough direction in his heart, although it was still a bit blurry, he had already found the way forward.

Only then did Wei Yuan understand why the Immortal Sect grand examination still had a literary test. Most of these destiny secret arts and cultivation methods were collected by the Tai Chu Palace from the outside world, and basically retained their original appearance, so there were languages of various eras, and many cultivation methods used obscure words and were mysterious. Although cultivators were specially assigned to revise them when they were collected, deleting errors and omissions and words that were too rare, overall, these cultivation methods passed down from ancient and medieval times were still obscure and difficult to understand.

If the literary style is not smooth, one cannot even understand the most ordinary cultivation method, let alone innovate and create one's own path.

Just like this, Wei Yuan read them one by one, walking deeper and deeper into the long bookshelf.

At this time in the Heaven-Work Hall, a dark-skinned and sturdy cultivator frowned and said to the black-clothed Daoist in front of him: "How can ninety thousand taels of immortal silver be enough to repair the Spirit-Gathering Array of the entire mountain peak? Not to mention that an extra branch vein has to be added. This job will cost at least one hundred and fifty thousand taels!"

The black-clothed Daoist said softly: "The Tinghai Xianjun means that the palace's expenses have been huge recently, so he thought the Heaven-Work Hall could share some, so don't make money this time."

The cultivator stared: "Don't make money and work for nothing? Don't the disciples in the hall need to cultivate and consume resources? Does it mean that only the Heaven-Machine Hall and the Creation View can be fat? We are already very poor, this matter is absolutely impossible!"

The black-clothed Daoist was not annoyed at all and said: "No matter how expensive the elixirs of the Creation View are sold, it is everyone's own pocket, and the palace cannot manage it. The same is true for the Heaven-Machine Hall. But most of your work, old man, requires the palace to pay, which is the difference."

The sturdy cultivator hummed heavily and said: "One hundred thousand flat, not a penny less! Otherwise, don't blame me for not knowing the big picture!"

"Can."

Seeing that the black-clothed Daoist agreed without even thinking, the sturdy cultivator suddenly shouted that he had been deceived, understanding that he had lost again. He said angrily: "Ugly words are said in front, the Spirit-Gathering Array is repaired this time, but if it breaks again next time, many parts and materials will have to be replaced, and it will not be this price!"

"This is naturally understood."

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

After reading I do not know how many cultivation methods and secret arts, Wei Yuan accumulated and broke out, and became clearer and clearer about what the Heaven and Earth Madman should look like. This day, he suddenly had an insight, so he took paper and pen and began to write furiously. A moment later, a piece of cultivation formula jumped onto the paper, which was the Dao Foundation Chapter of the Heaven and Earth Madman!

The moment he wrote the last word, Wei Yuan suddenly felt something, as if he had touched something invisible between heaven and earth. He looked out the window, only to feel that Konggu Xuanqing seemed to be half a point darker than before, and the wind was stronger, but there was no other anomaly.

Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and suddenly saw a young Daoist dressed in black Daoist robes appear in front of the desk at some point, looking at the Heaven and Earth Madman Dao Foundation Chapter he had just written.

After reading it silently, the black-clothed Daoist praised: "It is rare to be able to innovate at such a young age, and what is even rarer is this atmosphere of changing heaven and earth."

Wei Yuan could not see through the cultivation of the black-clothed Daoist at all, knowing that the other party's realm must be far above his own, so he stood up and said respectfully: "It is a scribbling work, please give me some guidance, senior."

The black-clothed Daoist shook his head: "I cannot give guidance, my state of mind is extreme, and if I give guidance, I will only lead you astray. Let's talk about business first. I handle some miscellaneous affairs in front of Palace Master Pei. I am looking for you this time under the order of the Palace Master; there is something I want you to handle."

The task finally came, so Wei Yuan stood solemnly and listened respectfully.

"This is not a place to talk, go to your residence."

So Wei Yuan returned the borrowed books, followed the black-clothed Daoist out of the Bosidian, and returned to his residence. At this time, the cave dwelling was full of spiritual energy again. It seems that after a month of repair, the spiritual vein had recovered.

The black-clothed Daoist placed two jade papers in front of Wei Yuan, one of which depicted a young female cultivator. She looked less than twenty, her big eyes revealing a clever and strange look, and a finger pointed at her lips, not knowing what kind of teasing idea she was thinking about.

The black-clothed Daoist said: "Since you want to sharpen yourself with alien races, then go to the Broken Domain west of Ningzhou, find her, and bring her back. If the person really cannot be brought back, then bring back the things on her. This is the information for this task; you can look at it carefully later. In addition, the risks of this trip are unpredictable. To be safe, the Palace Master specially bestowed a magic tool belt, which can be used by the Dao Foundation, has a mustard space inside, and is also attached with a strand of the Tinghai Xianjun's divine sense, equivalent to a blow from a Dharma Form True Person, which can save your life if used well."

"Oh, by the way, there are some small items in the belt, you can use them as you see fit."

After explaining the details, the black-clothed Daoist disappeared. Wei Yuan did not understand how he left at all.

Finally, he could deal with alien races, although this time it was not the Liao tribe, but the Wuyu tribe. However, the alien races in all directions are to be killed, and it is about the same who is first and who is last.

Wei Yuan first looked at the image of the female cultivator. The image in the jade paper was lifelike; not only could it be viewed from all angles, but it could also be manifested, just like a real person standing in front of him. Even the clothes and hair tips could sway with Wei Yuan's spiritual sense, which was very mysterious. At the same time, a strand of her Primordial Spirit aura was attached to the portrait, so even if she changed her attire or her appearance was ruined, Wei Yuan would not recognize the wrong person.

Wei Yuan memorized her appearance and aura, and then picked up the other jade paper to read carefully.

The female cultivator's name is Yun Feifei, twenty-four years old this year, Dao Foundation Realm, her cultivation is between Foundation Consolidation and Rebirth, and it is possible that she has already reached the Rebirth Realm. She comes from a small sect called the Lanshen Palace. The origin of the Lanshen Palace is also related to the Tai Chu Palace. Four hundred years ago, a disciple of the Tai Chu Palace, Yun Xiehe, went to the west of Ningzhou to open up territory, and after obtaining an opportunity, he achieved the Dharma Form, so he left the Tai Chu Palace and founded the Lanshen Palace. The Lanshen Palace mainly focuses on incense and divine Dao, and its Dharma lineage is not connected to the Tai Chu Palace's Dao Palace.

After Yun Xiehe founded the Lanshen Palace, he lived for another fifty years. In the three hundred years since then, the four generations of Palace Masters of the Lanshen Palace have all had profound cultivation, only one line away from the Imperial View. Only then could they stand firm in the west of Ningzhou, where alien races are rampant.

But three years ago, the Wuyu tribe suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Ningxi, the human race was defeated, and more than six thousand li of territory west of Ningzhou was occupied by the Wuyu tribe. A Cave Heaven in the area was broken, and six small sects were destroyed, including the Lanshen Palace. Since then, the human race has counterattacked and recaptured this piece of territory, but they have been defeated repeatedly in less than three months and had to retreat to Yunzhou again. The Wuyu tribe also suffered heavy losses and retreated to their original place to recuperate, once again emptying this piece of territory.

The two-year war broke the earth veins and confused the heavenly secrets of several thousand li of heaven and earth. Fragments of the broken Cave Heaven fell to the earth, creating desperate situations everywhere. These Cave Heaven fragments are not opportunities, but burial grounds for cultivators. The spiritual energy of the entire area may take a hundred years to gradually recover, so it is called the Broken Land and has no value.

This war is also a war between the human race and the Wuyu tribe, involving the two great vassals of Western Jin and Zhao, and the major sects have participated more or less, and the relationship between various forces is intricate and chaotic. After the Wuyu tribe retreated, Western Jin and Zhao were unable to take over this area and had no interest in taking over. And the Wuyu tribe could attack back at any time, and the large and small sects were unwilling to set up mountain gates. Just like this, several thousand li of territory became a lawless land, and there was no law or rule to speak of.

Originally, the Tai Chu Palace treated this place the same as other battlefields, but not long ago, a surviving disciple of the Lanshen Palace suddenly sent back a message, saying that the founding ancestor had a major opportunity and wanted to send it back to the Tai Chu Palace in exchange for the qualification of several blood descendants to return to the Tai Chu Palace. The message did not say what the opportunity was, only that the clue was on Yun Feifei, and as long as Yun Feifei was found and brought back to the Tai Chu Palace, it would be known. The task information neither said what the opportunity was nor said what was on Yun Feifei. But obviously, this opportunity is extraordinary, otherwise, it would not be the Tinghai Xianjun personally laying the pieces. For such an important task, naturally, the burden would not be entirely on Wei Yuan, a rookie who had just entered the Dao Foundation. I am afraid there are many dark hands, but I do not know whether Wei Yuan is a bright card or a dark piece.

After reading the information, Wei Yuan checked the belt. The style of the belt is an ordinary silk-faced belt, with a jade buckle in the middle, and no extra patterns. However, the true core of the magic tool is not the most conspicuous jade buckle, but an inconspicuous silk thread inside. This silk thread is stimulated by Dao power and can accommodate items about three feet square, and at the same time, it also stores a strand of the Tinghai Xianjun's divine sense, which is equivalent to a blow from a Dharma Form True Person after being issued, and can save his life if used well.

After all, it is the Tinghai Xianjun's divine sense. Besides power, there are many wonders. First of all, except for Wei Yuan, even if a Fenhai Zhenjun's spiritual sense sweeps over, he cannot see any anomaly in the belt. Secondly, once stimulated, it will automatically find the target with the highest Dao practice and the greatest threat to Wei Yuan to attack, even if Wei Yuan is in a coma, it will not hinder attacking the enemy. In addition, it has no signs when it is launched, it is as fast as electricity, and will not be weakened by any defensive magic tools or formations below the Fenhai Zhenjun. In other words, this attack will hit once it is issued, even if Wei Yuan and the enemy are standing face to face, and the other party is fully focused, it can also produce a sneak attack effect.

Wei Yuan immediately changed into the belt, and then studied the small items in the belt one by one.

The scheduled departure time is seven days later. Wei Yuan prepared to visit Zhang Sheng before setting out and asked him to give some guidance on the Dao Foundation Chapter of the Heaven and Earth Madman to see if there was anything that needed improvement.

At this time, it was already late, so Wei Yuan prepared to cultivate for a night first and then go to find Zhang Sheng early tomorrow morning. After entering the cultivation room, Wei Yuan sat cross-legged, forgetting both things and himself, and took a deep breath.

Inhale............

This time, a mouthful of spiritual energy was actually absorbed to the bottom, which was very unexpected to Wei Yuan. The spiritual energy was absorbed enough, and misty drizzle began to fall in the entire sea of consciousness, beginning to nourish the land that was so dry that there was no trace of vitality.

Hu, Wei Yuan exhaled, and then took another breath.

Inhale........................

At this time, Wei Yuan did not know that another spiritual vein had been separated from the spiritual vein within the mountain peak, leading directly to Wei Yuan's cultivation room. This newly added spiritual vein was almost as thick as all the other spiritual veins combined and was directly connected to the root vein of the mountain peak.

!.

In Wei Yuan's sea of consciousness, the rain was continuous, and the spiritual energy turned into points of vitality, merging into the land. After accumulating to a certain degree, vitality germinated, and he did not know what kind of changes would occur. But at this moment, Wei Yuan could feel that the trace of vitality in the Jade Mountain was more lively, beginning to absorb the spiritual machine in the rain.

However, at this time, under the prayer mat, the newly built spiritual vein began to dim again. The surging spiritual energy could not withstand the consumption and gradually became thin, and then dried up. Because this spiritual vein was directly connected to the main vein of the mountain range, its drying up meant that the spiritual energy of the main vein dried up.

So the Spirit-Gathering Array appeared again, and after a flicker, the spiritual energy of the mountain peak was cut off again! There was another jump in many cave dwellings, and several disciples who had just gone into seclusion broke out of seclusion again, almost going into qi deviation.

Wei Yuan was forced to wake up from forgetting both things and himself by the strong feeling of suffocation like drowning. His spiritual sense probed into the spiritual vein, and he understood that it was spiritual energy drying up again. Having had the experience of the previous two times, Wei Yuan now finally knew that the problem should be with himself.

He looked at the time. This cultivation lasted for a full four hours, and it was only half an hour away from the scheduled time to visit Zhang Sheng. Wei Yuan simply got up, picked up the transcribed Heaven and Earth Madman Dao Foundation Chapter, and recited it silently, thinking about possible improvements.

Before casting the Dao Foundation, the Heaven and Earth Madman could only bless and control one living creature other than Wei Yuan, and it could not be a human or other species with naturally strong divine souls. After casting the Dao Foundation, Wei Yuan's Primordial Spirit soared. At this time, he could bless several to dozens of living creatures at the same time, and the specific number depended on the amount of destiny blessed and the depth of control.

Besides that, Wei Yuan himself would have a significant improvement after blessing the Heaven and Earth Madman, and all functions would be improved by fifty percent. At this time, Wei Yuan's physical body and Primordial Spirit had both improved significantly. If he only used the original version of the Heaven and Earth Madman, he could only improve by thirty percent. In addition, when operating the Heaven and Earth Madman, Wei Yuan was equivalent to temporarily replacing his own destiny with heaven and earth destiny. At this time, his position was extremely high, and all Daoist arts based on destiny such as calculation, tracking, traction, and confusion were basically ineffective against Wei Yuan.

The Dao Foundation Chapter of the Heaven and Earth Madman also had more refined use of destiny. For example, for the same horse, one could choose a small improvement to significantly extend the blessing time, or choose a huge improvement in a short time, but after the event, the horse would lose all vitality.

Half an hour later, Zhang Sheng held the Heaven and Earth Madman Dao Foundation Chapter written by Wei Yuan and looked at it quietly.

After reading it several times, Zhang Sheng raised his head and looked at the disciple in front of him who was already taller than himself.

Zhang Sheng smiled gratifiedly and said: "This secret art of yours has already obtained my true meaning, and what is even rarer is that after innovation, the high standing of the idea is not inferior to what I had that day, which is the most rare. How many people have cultivation but cannot keep up with their state of mind, living a small and petty life for a lifetime, and finally failing before reaching the top? Our generation of immortal cultivation, if we don't have a heart that dares to live as long as heaven and earth, how can we exist with heaven and earth?"

Zhang Sheng put down the jade paper and said: "As your teacher, I have nothing to give guidance or correction. In the future, when you use this secret art, you will understand and improve it yourself. This path can only be walked by you alone, and how far you go depends on yourself."

Wei Yuan nodded.

"I will submit this secret art for you, which can earn some merit points, but this art cannot be used by anyone except you, so the merit points will not be many."

Wei Yuan naturally knew this point. The Tai Chu Palace pays attention to practical results, and the value of isolated volumes like the Heaven and Earth Madman is far less than the six introductory Body Forging methods.

Next, Wei Yuan talked about the task. The specific content of the task cannot be disclosed, but the nature of the itinerary can be roughly said. Since it was the Tinghai Xianjun laying the pieces, Zhang Sheng naturally would not have other opinions. He himself was still injured and could not accompany Wei Yuan. Besides, after casting the Dao Foundation and completing the grand examination, Wei Yuan had officially stepped onto the path of immortality and should start to experience alone.

That year, Zhang Sheng had just cast the Dao Foundation and went down the mountain alone to experience, not knowing how many dangers and bloody battles he had experienced. After the Dao Foundation was achieved, he began to search for dragons in the world, and as a result, he found Wei Yuan.

Zhang Sheng suddenly felt emotional. Without knowing it, the little child had reached the time to leave the nest and fly high. At this moment, he felt inexplicably sad.

Zhang Sheng never wanted to show his mood, patted Wei Yuan's shoulder plainly, and said: "Be careful yourself."

After thinking about it, Zhang Sheng added: "Safety first in everything, don't be brave."

Wei Yuan nodded again.

Zhang Sheng thought about it and added: "If you really can't beat them, remember to come to me."

Wei Yuan nodded seriously, but Zhang Sheng was still a little worried. After thinking about it, there was actually nothing else to exhort, but Zhang Sheng always felt that he should say something else.

Now even patting his shoulder has to be done with his hand raised, and his head is not very easy to touch... Zhang Sheng suddenly understood Wei Youcai's feelings ten years ago.

"There are still a few days before departure. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, you can come and ask me at any time," Zhang Sheng said.

Wei Yuan really had a doubt: "Teacher, you said that the Immortal Sword Lishang was comprehended by yourself when forging your body. I have always been unable to understand, with your temperament, how did you comprehend that kind of heaven and earth grieving heart?"

"What's difficult about this? Just..." Zhang Sheng said halfway, paused, and finally decided to tell the truth to his disciple:

"... rely on being pretentious."
