There are quite a few people from the Nine Mountains Sect now, lining up to be burned by the Great Sun True Fire.
Not only do Little Golden Crow and Senior Sister Yuan need the Great Sun True Fire to purify their bloodlines, but Nascent Soul like Aunt-Master Huang also need it to change their foundations.
even...
" Founder?"
In the main hall of Heavenly Palace Island, looking at the Nine Mountains Patriarch before him, Zheng Fa slapped his forehead, finally remembering this one:
The Nine Mountains Patriarch is now considered the Merit server of the Nine Mountains Sect. He used to also serve as Senior Sister Zhang's Law Treasure. But since the Pure Tranquility Bamboo came into existence, the Nine Mountains Patriarch has taken a backseat.
Zheng Fa hadn't seen the old man in a long time.
He glanced at Senior Sister Zhang beside the Founder and immediately understood her meaning:
"Senior sister, do you want me to... help the Founder rebuild his foundation?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded, looking at the excited Nine Mountains Patriarch, and smiled:
"Our ancestor possessed abundant spiritual power, but due to the limitations of his Nascent Soul cultivation technique, he perished and his cultivation dissipated."
"Although I can borrow the Primordial Spirit Dao Body and use the Nine-Mountains Seal, it is ultimately incomplete."
"If we can use the Great Sun True Fire to reforge the Mountain-River True-Form Talisman and make up for the flaws of our Founder, our Nine Mountains Sect will be able to quickly gain another Spirit Transformation cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Nine Mountains Patriarch grew even more anxious, his eyes fixed intently on Zheng Fa.
"That's possible. The Ancestral Master's true form can be considered a magical treasure, and the Great Sun True Fire might actually have some miraculous effects." Zheng Fa pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "However, I haven't yet mastered the Nascent Soul cultivation technique, and I'm also somewhat unfamiliar with the Great Sun True Fire. I'm afraid the Ancestral Master will have to wait a while longer."
Rebuilding Aunt-Master Huang's foundation is manageable.
The " Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation " was something he created himself, and he was very familiar with it.
However, he knew little about the Nascent Soul cultivation technique.
We currently lack the necessary knowledge to perfect the Mountain-River True-Form Talisman.
"I can wait! I can wait!" Nine Mountains Patriarch jumped three feet high in the air, excitedly saying, "I can wait however long it takes!"
Seeing his anxiety, the people in the hall found it both amusing and understanding.
They also knew about the Nine Mountains Patriarch's situation; his spiritual power was astonishing, almost enough to supply the cultivation of the entire Nine Mountains Sect.
However, his combat strength is extremely weak. If it weren't for Senior Sister Zhang, he probably wouldn't even be able to defeat an ordinary Nascent Soul.
The biggest reason is that the Nine Mountains Patriarch was originally Divided Spirit, born with a flaw.
Now, with Zheng Fa's Great Sun True Fire, this fake Nascent Soul Cultivator actually has a chance to advance to the Spirit Transformation stage.
Both Blood River Ancestor and Jiao Wuji, reflecting on their arduous journey to the Spirit Transformation stage, felt that this old man was... unbelievably lucky.
The Nine Mountains Patriarch looked at Zheng Fa, his tone somewhat wistful:
"When I gave you the Azure Yang Energy left behind by my original body back then... who could have imagined that we would have such an encounter today?"
Zheng Fa was somewhat dazed after hearing this.
The Great Sun True Fire originates from the Fusang Wood, which is the Fusang Wood Azure Yang Dao Body. However, the Azure Yang Dao Body can only be formed by the Azure Yang Energy.
Now, this Great Sun True Fire has brought a glimmer of opportunity for the Nine Mountains Patriarch to attain enlightenment.
It truly has a sense of the Reincarnation of Heavenly Dao and cause and effect.
Aunt-Master Huang suddenly sighed softly:
"I thought the Great Sun True Fire wasn't very useful... Who would have thought it would be so important to my Nine Mountains Sect?"
"The strongest of other Cultivation Method Divine Ability and supernatural abilities is only enough to rival a Nascent Spirit Transformation."
"How could this Great Sun True Fire... create Spirit Transformation?"
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
She always knew that, compared to the incredibly powerful killing Divine Ability, this kind of Divine Ability that could create cultivators was what her junior brother liked the most.
Just as the name of his junior brother's Life-bound Dharma Treasure reveals, the word "Creation " is what he pursues.
But the uses of the Great Sun True Fire go far beyond that.
Zheng Fa led Jiao Wuji and Blood River Ancestor back to his cultivation courtyard.
He returned without saying a word, but simply sat cross-legged on the futon and closed his eyes to cultivate.
Jiao Wuji and the other looked at each other, wondering what Zheng Fa had asked them to do here.
However, since both of their Soul Seal were controlled by Zheng Fa, they dared not cause any trouble and simply waited silently in the quiet room.
Half a month passed.
" The Great Freedom True Method?"
Blood River Ancestor exclaimed in surprise, his gaze fixed on Zheng Fa, his expression full of inquiry.
Jiao Wuji's expression was also one of surprise.
Sensing the eerie and sinister aura Dharma Body, the two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
"This... is the purest and most Great Freedom True Method!"
The Blood River Ancestor affirmed, then wondered, "Could it be... that the Sect Leader intends to use the Great Freedom True Method to Spirit Transformation?"
It was not unexpected that Zheng Fa was able to cultivate the Great Freedom True Method.
After all, Zheng Fa had already used the extraordinary skill of " Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation " to simulate various Secret Method of the Great Freedom Demon Cult.
But things are different now.
According to Blood River Ancestor's judgment, Zheng Fa started practicing directly from the core Cultivation Method of the Great Freedom True Method, and the Demonic Sect aura on his body was purer than his own!
"That's also possible..." Jiao Wuji said in a low voice, "After all, the Nine Mountains Sect doesn't have a complete Nascent Soul cultivation method... The Great Freedom True Method, after all, leads directly to the Dao Fruit."
"It is a wise move for the Sect Leader, after reaching the Nascent Soul, to choose to cultivate this Cultivation Method."
That makes some sense.
But the Blood River Ancestor always felt that Zheng Fa wouldn't do that:
The main problem is that the Great Freedom Devil Ancestor was killed twice by the Sect Leader...
Even as the Sect Leader, he looked down on the " Great Freedom True Method ".
However, the aura of the Great Freedom Demon Sect Dharma Body only grew stronger and more sinister.
At this moment, he actually looks like a native-born, pure-blooded Demonic Sect Nascent Soul Cultivator Demonic Sect.
But the next moment, a golden flame suddenly appeared on Zheng Dharma Body. This flame rose from Zheng Fa's Dantian, wrapped around Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul, and burned fiercely.
Black smoke emanated from Zheng Fa's Nascent Soul, as if countless wronged souls were roaring in anger.
"... The Great Sun True Fire?"
Blood River Ancestor had a guess in his mind.
Sure enough, after a while, Zheng Dharma Body's aura became calm and gentle again, without the previous sinister charm.
"Is the Sect Leader... conducting an experiment?"
Even Jiao Wuji understood this now and asked in a low voice.
Just as Blood River Ancestor was about to nod, Zheng Fa opened his eyes.
"What did you think of my ' Great Freedom True Method ' just now? Was there anything wrong with it?"
Blood River Ancestor understood; Zheng Fa had summoned them to inquire about how to cultivate the Great Freedom True Method.
He now understood Zheng Fa's character and didn't offer any empty flattery, simply stating the truth of his observations.
Zheng Fa was practicing the Great Freedom True Method for the first time, so naturally he had many questions. As a Nascent Spirit Transformation, Blood River Ancestor had insight and pointed out many details that made Zheng Fa nod repeatedly, and he looked at him with great appreciation.
After Blood River Ancestor finished speaking, seeing that Zheng Fa seemed quite happy, he asked another question, " Sect Leader, what's wrong?"
"I thought, if the Great Sun True Fire can change other people's foundation, it can naturally change mine too... So wouldn't it be perfect for me to try out various Cultivation Method?"
This is something even the Blood River Ancestor can understand.
The " Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation " technique allows Zheng Fa to seamlessly cultivate various Cultivation Method.
The Great Sun True Fire can also eliminate the hidden dangers of practicing those Cultivation Method.
For example, the Great Freedom True Method is, after all, Demonic Sect Cultivation Method, extremely mysterious.
Previously, Zheng Fa was afraid that there might be something wrong with it, so he didn't dare to actually cultivate it.
But with the Great Sun True Fire, it's different.
Once this thing is burned, no hidden dangers will remain. Combined with the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation >, Zheng Fa can practice however he wants.
" The Nine Mountains Golden Core Method is the culmination of the Golden Core Engineering, but it is difficult to adopt such methods after Nascent Soul Golden Core Engineering stage."
The essence of the Golden Core Engineering is to find the most perfect Pill Formula through extensive experiments.
But the Nascent Soul is different--
This thing is, after all, a living being; Zheng Fa had never heard of refining Nascent Soul outside the body.
Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to create a fundamental technique unique to the Nine Mountains Sect through in vitro experiments, as in the Golden Core Engineering.
"So, Sect Leader, you intend to use the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation > and the Great Sun True Fire to experiment with various Cultivation Method and deduce the cultivation methods after the Nascent Soul stage?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
He understood it very well--
The advantage of the Nine Mountains Sect lies in its experimental research.
The " Golden Core Engineering " approach is no longer feasible.
He himself is the candied hawthorn of the Nascent Soul Engineering... uh, the laboratory!
The Blood River Ancestor looked at Zheng Fa, and inexplicably, he felt that eight words were written on Zheng Fa's face—
I have forged a hundred scriptures to achieve my own path!
He couldn't even imagine what kind of Cultivation Method Zheng Fa would create after he had mastered all the Secret Method of the various Demonic Sect and even some Immortal Sect Method, taking the best from them and discarding the worst!
Is the " Great Freedom True Method " Dao Fruit?
This stuff is nothing more than nourishment for the Sect Leader!
Thinking of this, even though Blood River Ancestor no longer had a physical body, he felt his breathing become somewhat rapid.
"I'll try the < Great Freedom True Method > again."
Zheng Fa didn't know what he was so excited about. He simply rested for two days and then began practicing the Great Freedom True Method again.
Time passed day by day.
Zheng Fa also practiced the Great Freedom True Method eight or nine times over.
Limited by his cultivation level, he could only cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm each time.
Therefore, the speed is not slow, and it gets faster each time.
In the end, the Blood River Ancestor looked at Zheng Fa, whose face was filled with a sinister aura, opened his mouth, and really couldn't find any fault with him:
" Sect Leader... if the Great Freedom Demon Cult still existed, your face would be worthy of a Holy Son."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa realized that even the Blood River Ancestor had been drained of his resources.
Even according to the Blood River Ancestor, throughout history, the only cultivators who could cultivate the Great Freedom True Method to such a high level of proficiency were probably the Great Freedom Devil Ancestor and Zheng Fa.
As for Jiao Wuji, who was standing to the side, although he was also a disciple of the Great Freedom Sect, he cultivated the " Myriad Demon True Exposition ". His understanding of the " Great Freedom True Method " was naturally far inferior to that of the Blood River Ancestor.
"You may all leave now."
Zheng Fa began to speak, saying that after repeatedly experimenting with the < Great Freedom True Method >, not only was his Divine Soul somewhat exhausted, but more importantly, his Nascent Soul also needed rest...
Blood River Ancestor and the other person leave.
Zheng Fa thought for a moment, walked out the door, and turned to enter Senior Sister Zhang's courtyard.
"How?"
"The Great Freedom True Method is indeed somewhat miraculous... It is far superior to the Cultivation Method of my Nine Mountains Sect."
"Would it be of any use to the Founder?"
Zheng Fa shook his head, understanding what Senior Sister Zhang meant:
The Great Freedom True Method is, after all, Dao Fruit Method Formula, and its method of Spirit Transformation might be able to cure the Nine Mountains Patriarch.
"After all, the Founder was an anomaly who attained enlightenment; I'm afraid he couldn't even cultivate the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation >."
The current " Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation " is still Nascent Soul level Cultivation Method, while the Nine Mountains Patriarch was essentially a deceased Nascent Spirit Transformation...
Changing your Cultivation Method isn't that simple.
Senior Sister Zhang nodded and reassured her, "There's no need to rush this..."
"However, Senior Sister, I have some other insights into the < Great Freedom True Method >."
"Other insights?"
Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that Zheng Dharma Body's aura had changed, becoming somewhat sinister.
He has a special method of self-cultivation.
The Great Freedom Devil Ancestor's Cultivation Method is indeed quite good.
Several days later, Senior Sister Zhang, dressed in a snow-white long dress, looked helplessly at her junior brother:
"I have important matters to attend to today; I must not let trivial matters distract me from my duties."
Is indulging in trivial pursuits a waste of one's ambition?
Who is the object?
Zheng Fa lay on the couch, his clothes disheveled, calmly contemplating this matter of dignity.
He propped his head up with his hand, watching his senior sister's graceful figure as he asked, "What are you going to do today, senior sister?"
" Xuanhua said the Divine Firmament Mining Ship has been built and will be tested today."
This is indeed a big deal.
Zheng Fa had almost forgotten about this thing because he was focused on breaking through, so he simply stood up and said, "I'll go with you, Senior Sister."
He stood in front of Senior Sister Zhang, arms outstretched, without moving, only tilting his head to look at her.
Senior Sister Zhang glanced at him, wrinkled her nose in annoyance, but still gently reached out and slowly helped him put on his clothes.
Zheng Fa looked down at his senior sister who was carefully tying his belt, and his mind slowly recovered from the joy and even impatience of breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
At this moment, both of them seemed to have forgotten that they possessed Law Technique.
Senior Sister Zhang helped him put on his clothes, stroking her husband's collar like an ordinary wife, and looked up at Zheng Fa with a bright and gentle smile in her eyes.
"Senior Sister!" Little Bird Yuan's voice came from outside the door. "Senior Sister, why aren't you coming out yet? Didn't you say you were going to see the big ship?"
Little Bird Yuan clearly didn't have the good habit of not allowing unauthorized entry, and brazenly pushed open the door, only to see Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang exchanging smiles.
"..." She stared wide-eyed at Senior Sister Zhang's hands as she smoothed out the wrinkles on Zheng Fa's clothes, clearly not expecting to see this scene.
"Senior sister..."
"Um?"
Little Bird Yuan seemed unable to find the words to describe her feelings, and simply said, "You're so beautiful."
Zheng Fa frowned upon hearing this. "How dare this bird steal my lines?"
He looked up at the door and saw Zhao Jingfan following behind Little Bird Yuan, his eyes also falling on Senior Sister Zhang's hands as she helped Zheng Fa get dressed.
Zhao Jingfan's eyes were complex, as if he had a lot to say, but if you had to translate it, it would just be three words—"Outrageous!"
How should I put it?
Even when he advanced to the Nascent Soul, Zhao Jingfan hadn't looked at him like that.
Yes, he was indeed happier for that brief moment than when he broke through to the Nascent Soul.
Accompanied by Zhao Jingfan and Little Bird Yuan, who were there to watch the excitement, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang arrived at a mine of Thunder-Element Spirit Stone in the mortal realm of the Nine Mountains.
The mineral reserves are substantial, spread across a dozen or so mountains of varying sizes.
Looking from the sky, the soil of these mountains appears bluish-purple, giving off a sense of inexplicable danger.
Madam Xuanhua was already waiting here with about ten disciples. Behind them was a newly completed Divine Firmament Mining Ship.
Zheng Fa Madam Xuanhua bowed respectfully.
"I didn't expect you to have built the prototype mining ship so early, Xuanhua."
Madam Xuanhua didn't take credit. "Although the people in the Artifact Refiners Guild aren't very skilled, there are quite a few of them, which has filled the manpower gap in my Heavenly Crafts Pavilion."
It's clear that she seems quite satisfied with the Artifact Refiners Guild.
"Unfortunately, the Profound Mystery Sect has won over some sects, both large and small... The Artifact Refiners Guild will have to rely on you alone for the time being Xuanhua."
To everyone's surprise, Xuanhua waved his hand, his eyes brightening. "If they don't come... they'll regret it!"
"?"
Madam Xuanhua pointed at the Divine Firmament Mining Ship, her eyes revealing a hint of pride:
"This Divine Firmament Mining Ship contains the mechanical principles you gave me..."
"I wouldn't bear to let those ungrateful people from the Profound Mystery Sect learn this!"
It's clear that Madam Xuanhua has great confidence in the Divine Profound Mystery Sect Divine Firmament Mining Ship Sect...
Hmm? Profound Mystery Sect?
Xiao Yuying has been investigating at the Profound Mystery Sect for the past few days, but there's been no news of her.
Outside the Profound Mystery Sect, Xiao Yuying was somewhat flustered.
She's now in a dilemma.
Originally, she was confident that she could hide under the Law Treasure veil and conceal herself from the Divine Sense of the Spirit Transformation cultivator. However, for some reason, she had a bad feeling these past few days, as if she would encounter danger if she made any rash moves.
She possessed the Magnetic Rail Body, which always gave her extremely accurate premonitions, so she naturally dared not act rashly. She even hesitated to use the Comprehensive Mirror (a magical artifact), fearing that it would expose her.
However, the Profound Mystery Sect seemed to have realized something, and in the past few days Spirit Transformation have been patrolling outside the mountain gate every day.
If she stays here, she will eventually be discovered.
For a moment, she even had the idea of seeking help from her master, but her master's current situation made her hesitate.
Just as she hesitated, a surprised shout suddenly came from inside the Profound Mystery Sect's mountain gate, "Which esteemed master has graced our sect with their presence?"
Xiao Yuying suddenly looked up.
Then a White Tiger descended from the horizon on a cloud, with a woman standing in front of her on its body, and an old man and a young man standing behind her.
Xiao Yuying naturally recognized this woman— Xie Qingxue!
" Tianhe Sect, Xie Qingxue."
Xie Qingxue stood on the White Tiger and answered loudly.
" Fairy Xie of the Tianhe Sect?"
A commotion broke out at the Profound Mystery Sect Sect's mountain gate. After a while, an old man at the Nascent Spirit Transformation descended the mountain, walked up to Xie Qingxue, and bowed with a smile, saying, "May I ask what brings Fairy Xie Profound Mystery Sect?"
Clearly, this Nascent Spirit Transformation was somewhat apprehensive in front of Xie Qingxue.
"You're from the Profound Mystery Sect?"
Xie Qingxue frowned as she looked at the Spirit Transformation elder.
"My lady, you may not know, but I recently joined the Profound Mystery Sect and now serve as Profound Mystery Sect elder."
Xie Qingxue's eyes were thoughtful, but her mind seemed elsewhere. She simply nodded and said, "I don't have anything else to ask you for; I just want to get someone from you."
"VIP?"
"I have a friend named Xiao Yuying who has disappeared within the territory of your Profound Mystery Sect. I wonder if the Profound Mystery Sect is aware of this?"
"Who?"
The old man who had reached the Spirit Transformation was immediately bewildered.
"I!"
Xiao Yuying immediately lifted the veil covering her Law Treasure, revealing her figure, and shouted loudly.
The Spirit Transformation elder of the Profound Mystery Sect's face darkened; he could easily tell that it was Xiao Yuying who was probing the Profound Mystery Sect.
Xie Qingxue reached out and helped Xiao Yuying onto the White Tiger, holding the Green Duckweed Sword in her hand, looking at this Spirit Transformation with an expression full of domineering power as the number one True Disciple of the Tianhe.
" Fairy Xie..."
"What, is it you who wants me to stay, or Vast Sun Mountain?"
"..."
The old Spirit Transformation's expression froze. He hadn't expected that this Fairy Xie would throw such a tantrum and be so difficult to deal with. For a moment, he could only watch as Xie Qingxue took Xiao Yuying away.
Standing atop the White Tiger, Xiao Yuying gratefully bowed to Xie Qingxue and said, "Thank you for saving me, Master."
"It wasn't me."
"Um?"
"You haven't sent any messages to Zheng Fa these past few days. Zheng Fa suspected something was wrong. I happened to be passing through this area, and he asked me to come and find you."
"... Then I must thank you for your help, Master."
" Zheng Fa is here too, oh, and Zhang Wuyi as well."
Xiao Yuying opened her mouth slightly and said anxiously, "Didn't I tell him that the Profound Mystery Sect might be hiding a trap?"
"So he called me here..." Xie Qingxue glanced at Xiao Yuying and said, "No matter what's hidden inside the Profound Mystery Sect, could it be more powerful than the Great Freedom Demon Emperor?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuying was at a loss for words.
Zheng Fa had been letting Profound Mystery Sect, probably because he had long suspected that Profound Mystery Sect was acting strangely and had its own plans.
Now, however, it seems that Xie Qingxue Zhang Wuyi are being brought along, and that they are willing to give everything to join forces with the Profound Mystery Sect.
After much thought, there's only one explanation for this change... It's all for her.
Seemingly knowing what Xiao Yuying was thinking, Xie Qingxue smiled faintly:
He felt it was worth it.
