"I never expected to obtain Fourth-Order Technique so easily."

Xiao Chen checked the new Cultivation Method again and couldn't help but feel pleased. "As expected, with the addition of a Cultivation World, the opportunities to acquire resources have also increased."

"Now we have the Cultivation Method as a foundation."

"Now we can put the training of the Crimson Sky Mountain Severing Palm on the agenda."

Only after mastering this Fourth-Order Spell that he acquired early on could he be considered to have truly completed the transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, having a high cultivation level but lacking corresponding Law Technique will inevitably put you at a disadvantage when facing other Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The reason why Xiao Chen insisted on waiting until he obtained the Cultivation Method Law Technique before considering practicing magic was because...

This is because the order in which these two things are prepared is quite particular.

The so-called "Cultivation Method" naturally requires "skill" first, then "method".

To use an analogy, it's like a bed: you have to have the bed first, then the mattress. Only then can it fit perfectly and be just right.

If it's the other way around, the sizes might not match properly, resulting in inconsistencies.

This is also a common problem with both Xuan-level and Yellow-grade Technique.

Most of the time, they require the monks to practice other Law Technique to compensate for the deficiencies.

Those Law Technique must also be kept from interfering with or conflicting with each other.

In contrast, Heaven-Grade Inheritance come with a number of accompanying Law Technique.

They not only do not interfere with each other, but also help and enhance each other, often creating a synergistic effect where one plus one is greater than two.

Furthermore, Law Technique that share a common origin will be mastered after the first one is learned.

The speed of practicing the second and third times will naturally be much faster.

Of course, the situation of practitioners is complex, and no lineage can be perfect.

Even cultivators with Heaven-Grade Technique sometimes need to cultivate additional Auxiliary Spells with specific functions to expand their abilities.

For example, the Divine Sense Secret Art are separate from Cultivation Method.

In addition, there is another, even more crucial reason.

That means Xiao Chen has now broken through to the Nascent Soul True Lord realm.

Prior to this, the connections between the Cultivation Method were relatively weak.

Even for Golden Core cultivator, if they insist on taking an unconventional path and focus solely on cultivating Law Technique, it's not entirely impossible.

However, starting from the Nascent Soul True Lord, cultivators will truly attempt to 'comprehend' a certain Great Dao.

The Law Technique they practice naturally carry with them the cultivator's own rudimentary understanding of the Dao.

This is also a major reason why Golden Core cultivator are basically unable to fight against Nascent Soul True Lord are of a higher level.

Previously, Xiao Chen had encountered the Grand Void Cloud Light Barrier used by the Ancestor of the Dai Family on Heaven Star Island.

For this reason, the monks present at the time unanimously believed that he would definitely be helpless.

That is precisely why.

If Xiao Chen were to cultivate the Crimson Sky Mountain Severing Palm before obtaining the Cultivation Method, he would be unable to incorporate his own insights into it.

After all, there were no Cultivation Method to refer to or guide them.

To this day, he still hasn't been able to truly clarify the direction of his own cultivation.

Don't underestimate this point; the direction is extremely crucial.

Sometimes, the right direction is more important than hard work.

So what should be the direction of cultivation?

In essence, it's about different sub-categories within the broader framework of the Great Way.

Nascent Soul True Lord claim to be comprehending the Great Dao, but in order to reduce the actual difficulty of understanding it, they often only delve into a small branch.

For example, the Surging Wave True Monarch is a good example.

Judging from his straightforward Dharma Name, he should possess the Water Spiritual Root.

However, directly choosing the main path of water was undoubtedly too difficult, so they took a small branch related to overlapping or ocean waves.

Therefore, even though Xiao Chen had never seen the other party make a move.

But it's fairly easy to guess that the opponent is either using a fast sword, emphasizing continuous sword movements, like waves surging one after another.

They either wield heavy swords, emphasizing the continuous layering of sword techniques, each layer higher and stronger than the last.

Of course, which choice will be made is a top secret, and it's hard to guess.

Who knows, the other person might be exceptionally intelligent and be able to combine both approaches.

In general, however, the vast majority of Nascent Soul True Lord cultivate only a small branch of a certain Great Dao.

What exactly it is depends on both the cultivator's personal preferences and the Cultivation Method they possess.

Xiao Chen wasn't particularly picky about Cultivation Method; he didn't have any particular favorites or dislikes.

Therefore, he practiced whatever was written in the Cultivation Method he had in his hand.

The main idea is to be easygoing and adaptable.

"Speaking of which, this new Cultivation Method doesn't seem to have a name yet."

Xiao Chen had already read it twice, but the two Silk Scarf scarves never mentioned the name of the Cultivation Method.

This is mainly because, in the eyes of the Previous Gui Yun True Monarch, this new Cultivation Method was a half-finished product that had failed to be improved.

Therefore, there was no time to name it.

Only at the very beginning, through a footnote, does it reveal that its inspiration came from another Heaven-Grade Technique of the Gui Yun Sect —the <Shared Fate Eternal Life Scripture>.

Because he was not a cultivator of the Gui Yun Sect.

Therefore, Xiao Chen was completely unaware of the characteristics of the original Cultivation Method.

It can only be inferred that it originally followed the method of "symbiosis" between plants and trees.

However, based on his judgment after reading it twice, this new Cultivation Method has completely changed its approach.

The main approach is likely to follow the path of Great Dao of Wood, leaning towards grafting or substitution.

To cultivate this Cultivation Method, one must comprehend the True Intention of 'grafting' plants.

Xiao Chen could also tell from the footnotes at the end.

The original purpose of Gui Yun True Monarch in developing this new Cultivation Method was most likely to transfer the injuries he suffered to his enemies or even his disciples.

This is done in order to achieve the effect of healing oneself.

Of course, in actual combat, this can also be used to attack the enemy.

Therefore, this new Cultivation Method, in addition to having its own spell called the "Disaster Transfer Technique Law Technique,"

It has absolutely no other features, or rather, during the development process, all the irrelevant things were consciously removed.

"That's certainly a concise approach."

Xiao Chen immediately recalled the <Myriad Images Spring Return Scripture> he had cultivated before, which, apart from having a <Greater Spring Return Spell> by its own, had no other effects.

To put it nicely, the goals of these Yellow-grade Technique are quite clear.

However, it can also be understood that Yellow-grade Technique are a scaled-down, basic version of normal Cultivation Method.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can cultivate it, it's a good Cultivation Method.

"Since you've brought with you a <Disaster Transfer Technique>, then from now on we'll call you <Disaster Transfer Art>."

Xiao Chen gave the new Cultivation Method a name and then put it away.

"We should study the details when we get back to cultivate."

He had already planned to return to Secluded Doom Island after obtaining the Cultivation Method.

Now that we've achieved the first step, there's no need to stay here any longer.

With this in mind, Xiao Chen immediately returned to the restaurant and ordered another serving of Spirit Fish.

Strangely enough, he noticed that there were several Golden Core Disciple from the Gui Yun Sect guarding the stairwell leading to the third floor.

It seems those Nascent Soul True Lord are still eating.

Keep in mind that several hours had already passed since they went up to the private room on the third floor.

It takes you this long to eat a meal? Are you really here to investigate the Cultivation Method?

Xiao Chen silently grumbled to himself, but didn't continue to concern himself with these trivial matters.

Anyway, he was already prepared to leave, so whatever happened in Gui Yun Market was no longer his concern.

"Boom!"

However, just as Xiao Chen was about to leave with the Spirit Fish, a loud bang suddenly erupted outside the restaurant.

Then, a series of explosions rang out.

The direction seems to be towards the location of the Market Warehouse.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Chen immediately wanted to use his Spiritual Sense Probe, but fortunately he realized that it was inconvenient here, so he suppressed his actions in time.

At the same moment, several powerful Divine Sense surged out from the third floor without any concealment.

In an instant, they swept across the entire market, especially the warehouses.

The Golden Core cultivator in the restaurant also tensed up, and they all hurriedly stood up and used their true essence to dispel the effects of the alcohol.

Some people peered out the window, while others went straight down to the First Floor, ready to leave at any moment.

However, the Divine Sense on the third floor were quickly withdrawn.

Although the sounds of clashing Law Technique could still be heard from the direction of the warehouse, they had weakened considerably.

At the same time, a not-so-strong fluctuation of Spiritual Power also came over, indicating that what was happening there was merely a conflict between Golden Core cultivator.

"It's the warehouse again. Could it be that the Spirit Thief has returned?"

"Impossible, right? Are they coming back to die?"

"Sigh, I finally got to enjoy a good drink, what a disappointment."

Everyone immediately felt much more relaxed; this level of change had little impact on those who were generally at the Golden Core Cultivation.

None of the Nascent Soul True Lord on the third floor showed up; the situation was clearly under control, so they didn't bother to intervene personally.

Only Xiao Chen secretly rejoiced that he had already obtained the Cultivation Method.

There's no need to worry about unforeseen events now.

Furthermore, the Defensive Formation within the market has not been activated, allowing cultivators to enter and exit freely; it's still not too late to leave.

Without bothering to stay and watch the excitement, Xiao Chen quickened his pace and left Gui Yun Market without a second thought.

Then turn back in the direction you came from.

I've only been here a few days, and I've already encountered two attacks that seem to be attacks by Spirit Thief. This world seems rather unstable.

However, considering the sparse Spiritual Qi here, the derogatory term "Ground Rat," and the unusually large number of rogue cultivators at the Golden Core stage, this is not an issue.

As a result, similar incidents inevitably occur more frequently.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, "It's fortunate that a battle at the Nascent Soul Stage didn't occur; otherwise, with the Defensive Formation activated, it probably wouldn't have been easy to escape."

Judging from that, he's actually quite lucky.

At least they didn't encounter Nascent Soul cultivators and thus weren't affected.

However, not far from Xiao Chen, several True Lord were standing under a large pine tree at the top of the hill.

They concealed their figures with Secret Method and all looked up at him, observing him intently.

"Such rich and potent Vitality Power! No wonder he's a cultivator from the Holy City!"

The gloomy-faced cultivator beside him stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. "If I could eat him, it would definitely boost my cultivation level considerably."

His eyes lit up as he spoke, as if he had spotted some delicious food.

Xiao Chen's figure quickly disappeared into the horizon.

She couldn't help but turn to look at True Lord Su Bai, her tone still tinged with a hint of resentment. "What did I tell you?"

"The cultivators from the Holy City appear polite and well-mannered on the surface."

"In reality, deep down they look down on all the monks living outside, and disdain walking alongside outsiders."

"As you all saw, there was no one secretly following or protecting him."

"If we had attacked together, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would have been no match for us."

However, True Lord Su Bai looked in the direction where Xiao Chen disappeared, a strong sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

He let out a slow, deep breath before replying unhurriedly, "I don't think so."

Um?

His statement surprised those around him.

Are you kidding me? There were seven of them working together.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, have you noticed anything unusual?"

The Red-Robed True Monarch immediately inquired, "Could it be that the other party is concealing his appearance and true strength, or perhaps he is a member of one of the Seven Great Clans?"

The other True Lord nearby also looked over, their eyes filled with doubt.

They had each used their own methods to probe and sense each other as much as possible without alerting the other.

Judging from his cultivation level, Xiao Chen was clearly only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, and his own strength was definitely not very high.

However, everyone also knew that although True Lord Su Bai was the youngest, he was the strongest among them, and his detection methods were unparalleled.

That's why everyone trusted him to be the one to command the operation.

"He didn't hide his appearance; that was his true face."

True Lord Su Bai's tone carried a hint of genuine envy. "All I could tell was that he was very young, extremely young."

Do you know?

His gaze swept over everyone. "I just used the Bone Measurement Technique, and the result is that he is not yet thirty years old."

Do you all still believe we have a chance to ambush and kill him?

Everyone fell silent.

Those present were all Nascent Soul True Lord, so they were naturally very clear about how difficult it was to break through to the Nascent Soul.

And it's important to understand that even if they have already achieved some success...

Looking back on the hardships and fortuitous opportunity they encountered along the way, no one dares to say that they could still successfully Nascent Soul Formation if they started over again.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you're not joking, are you?"

The burly man in black robes was utterly incredulous. "A Nascent Soul True Lord who's not even thirty years old?"

If that were the case, it wouldn't matter what the other party's original identity or background was.

This has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Venerable ones in the Holy City.

In other words, the other party must be carrying a considerable amount of life-saving items.

It's even possible that a Spirit Transformation Venerable bestowed Spiritual Sense upon him.

Even if there were seven of them, let alone seven more, they still wouldn't be able to hold the other side.

True Lord Su Bai gave a wry smile, "Does Di Fu Daoist think it's necessary for me to deceive everyone about such a matter?"

Such a brilliant and talented person was born in the Holy City.

This undoubtedly casts a shadow over the future of the entire Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

"If only he were one of us, why did he have to be one of us... Sigh!"

"Hahaha, everyone talks about cause and effect, but if Heaven has eyes, why does it favor the Holy City Cultivator so much?"

"Fellow Daoist Bai, this matter must be immediately reported to the Alliance Leader. Such a prodigy must not be allowed to grow unchecked; we must nip him in the bud!"
