Chapter 414

As a key factor for many people, Yan Buji immersed himself in cultivation, feeling good.

This time of training, the main focus was on increasing magical power.

In the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Yan Buji cultivated the Sensory Chapter, so he needed to incorporate the Sensory Chapter into the Heaven Gate Five Elements Law.

However, this is not difficult either; the Sensory Chapter seems not to conflict with his own cultivation method at all, so just practicing the Nine Dispersals and Nine Refinements will do.

But the Sensory Chapter does not produce magical power; rather, it enhances spiritual awareness. The Nine Revolutions Technique is a method for pure magical power, and it has no enhancing effect on the Sensory Chapter.

So Yan Buji started from scratch, taking the magical power cultivated from the Heaven Gate Five Elements Law and practicing the Nine Dispersals and Nine Refinements; moreover, he had previously completed a round of dispersing and re-cultivating, and with the help of the Sensory Chapter he broke through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

After completing the Dragon Mysterious Technique, Yan Buji began to practice the Nine Dispersals and Nine Refinements of it, because both follow the cultivation path of the Heaven Gate Five Elements Law as a foundation, so integrating the Dragon Mysterious Technique into the Heaven Gate Five Elements Law is not difficult.

So Yan Buji quickly completed the Dragon Mysterious Technique, but resources were too scarce, so he had to take out the spiritual materials he had gathered to refine pills.

Thus, after repeated cycles, Yan Buji almost exhausted all the resources he had gathered over the years; plus a portion of the Spiritual Stones stored by the Dragon People, this was enough to meet the resources he needed for the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

One dare not imagine how terrifying the resource consumption would be for breaking through a major realm without the Grand Earthly Pill.

Fortunately, thanks to Yan Buji's talent in Martial Dao, his realm strength increases; practicing cultivation methods and refining spiritual pills, because of his strong spiritual awareness, do not make him feel fatigued.

"However, the Dragon Mysterious Technique is indeed not bad; the magical power it cultivates can enhance spiritual awareness techniques, unlike the Sensory Chapter which only cultivates spiritual awareness.... Unfortunately, my attainment is not high; otherwise, if I combined the Dragon Mysterious Technique and the Sensory Chapter, it would not be so troublesome." Yan Buji thought.

Cultivation is inherently lengthy; winter passed and spring came, and another five years went by.

Over these five years, Yan Buji consumed a huge amount of resources, finally completing the Nine Dispersals and Nine Refinements of the Dragon Mysterious Technique; each time from entry to mastery, he gained a new insight.

After nine cycles, the magical power cultivated is naturally overwhelmingly strong.

Afterward, Yan Buji, with some danger but no harm, integrated the Dragon Mysterious Technique into the Heaven Gate Five Elements Law. However, since his practice is still based on the Heaven Gate Law as foundation, all the extra techniques he has added are actually not compatible with the Heaven Gate Law; if it weren't for the harmonizing effect of the Cinnabar Origin Technique, his magical power would have long been out of balance.

"Although breaking through to the Golden Core stage now requires the Grand Earthly Pill, if I had to devise a cultivation method compatible with the Heaven Gate Law myself, that would be sheer fantasy. On the contrary, with the help of the Three Talents Celestial Pill, I am saved from many troubles."

Being able to enjoy the convenience of the Heaven Gate Law while not losing too many methods naturally aligns with Yan Buji's wishes.

After breaking through the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Yan Buji had no further needs in cultivation methods.

According to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, upon reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, if one wishes to break through to the Golden Core stage, one needs pure magical power and must prepare to compress magical power.

Successfully compressing magical power counts as breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

After all, the Golden Core stage is merely a transitional realm between Foundation Establishment and the Golden Core; if any one of the three—body, spiritual awareness, or magical power—reaches the standard for condensing a Golden Core ahead of time, it counts as the Golden Core stage.

But Yan Buji clearly knows where his problem lies.

His future cultivation can no longer be used to refine magical power, break through bodily limits, or strengthen spiritual awareness; the realm of magical cultivation ends here.

Only after consuming the Grand Earthly Pill can the limitations on all three be lifted.

Therefore, continuing to refine magical power is also unnecessary; however, the Grand Earthly Pill is still being cultivated, and it is estimated that it cannot be completed without twenty or thirty years, which is due to the fact that the earth vein of the Boundless Sea Trench is enormously vast and heavy; otherwise, an ordinary earth vein would not qualify to condense a Grand Earthly Pill.

Yan Buji pondered for a long time, intending to formally begin forging an attack-type Accumulation Device that is uniquely his own!

"The raw material will be the stick obtained together with the Little Chicken, plus...."

Fissure Void Stone!

As the two main components of the raw material, after Yan Buji devoured that Space‑Path Gu Worm, his understanding of the Space Path increased considerably; moreover, since he himself can use the Heaven Gate Law, mobilizing a portion of Space Power is not difficult either.

But the problem is that Yan Buji currently lacks a sufficiently powerful killing technique; on the Martial Dao front he is not progressing that quickly, and after he completes the magical power Golden Core stage, he truly cannot condense a Golden Core to attempt a Martial Dao breakthrough; instead, he can use the Martial Dao breakthrough to supplement his magical power breakthrough.

But after all, he still intends to follow the path of magical cultivation alone; although he speaks of Martial and Magical Dual Cultivation, the survival space for martial cultivators in today's world is too small, and the resources of magical cultivation that martial cultivators can use are very rare.

In that case, if the Martial Dao path becomes impassable in the future, one must find a way to continue increasing one's strength, right?

Thus, the importance of the Accumulation Device is demonstrated once again.

Based on the Space Path, Yan Buji intends to create a kind of spatial blade that can release something similar to that Space‑Path Gu Worm; although he also covets that side's spatial flicker ability, unfortunately he has not obtained that information.

Moreover, the Fissure Void Stone combined with the Netherworld Scripture also has the ability to transfer between two worlds; this makes Yan Buji realize that even if he cannot achieve the Gu Worm's casual flickering, perhaps he can accomplish this by utilizing the nature of the Fissure Void Stone.

Thus, this Accumulation Device consists of that unnamed stick, the Fissure Void Stone, non‑metal, the previously obtained Accumulation Device components, plus a piece of Fivefold Transformation Corundum as the main materials.

"The stick and the Fissure Void Stone serve as the main body, forming the shape of a scepter; using refined non‑metal as the connection point, the Fivefold Transformation Corundum strengthens the scepter.... plus this Accumulation Device component."

Yan Buji took out the Accumulation Device component he had previously bought from the Buddhist monk Guangjue when he was in the Nan Ting Mountain Region and the Kan Dao Huang Du; at that time, because its level was insufficient, he did not think it was anything special, only knowing it had been stained with some yin‑nether energy.

Later, Yan Buji suddenly realized that this thing seemed similar in material to the Netherworld Scripture, or perhaps they share the same origin!

So Yan Buji came up with a bold idea!

"I will engrave the characters from the Netherworld Scripture into the component and re‑refine it, giving this component the power to absorb spirits; in battle it can release the spirits to strike the enemy.... then, using the Fissure Void Stone as a guide, aided by the magical power of the Heaven Gate Law, it should be able to achieve the effect I desire!" Yan Buji's eyes lit up; although he had a plan in mind, the forging of an Accumulation Device often goes contrary to expectations, which is normal.

Just as the refinement of non‑metal is quite lengthy, after five years of cultivation Yan Buji spent another three years before he barely managed to refine it into an Accumulation.

Immediately afterward, the difficulty of refining the Fissure Void Stone and the stick increased one after another.

Fortunately, the refinement of the Fissure Void Stone encountered no mishaps; Yan Buji himself designed a furnace model powered by Space‑Path energy, and for nearly three months, without sleep or rest, not even daring to blink, he stared at the Fissure Void Stone in the furnace being refined, only then daring to relax and let his essence and spirit enter it.

As for that stick, its material is unknown; it is extremely hard, making it difficult for even essence and spirit to penetrate, consuming two years of Yan Buji's time.

In other words, just this stage of refining into an Accumulation, Yan Buji spent a full six years on this Accumulation Device!
