At this moment, Li Xiantian looked at Xu Haoyu and said with a trace of impatience in his voice:
"Quickly try cultivating the Guiyi True Art, then fuse these seven Mystic Rank Cultivation Methods. This old man doesn't have the Myriad Laws Body—I suffered terribly back then..."
A burning light bloomed deep in Li Xiantian's eyes. Although he had been a Dou Zun powerhouse, he had died without ever understanding why. It was because he lacked the Myriad Laws Body yet had forcibly cultivated the Guiyi True Art, causing problems in the fusion of his Dou Qi. In the end, he had blown himself up.
Xu Haoyu took a deep breath. This was the Dou Qi Continent, and beyond it lay the Great Thousand World. Since he had transmigrated here, he naturally wanted to see a broader world. Now that an opportunity to soar through the heavens lay before him, he had to seize it even if there were risks.
His little face turned solemn, and his gaze became resolute as he said slowly:
"No problem. I'm a 1-Star Dou Zhe now, so it's just the right time for me to cultivate a cultivation method."
Hugging the pile of scrolls, Xu Haoyu jumped back onto the soft couch. He set the scrolls aside, then sat cross-legged and began cultivating the Guiyi True Art.
Closing his eyes, he changed the hand seals in his hands. Streams of Dou Qi immediately surged from the vortex in his dantian, flowing through his meridians and into his Four Limbs and Skeletal Structure.
The sensation made Xu Haoyu's brow furrow tighter and tighter. As he cultivated the method, not only did he fail to grow stronger, but his Dou Qi dispersed and could not form a complete circulation. He was even close to losing control over it.
A question arose in Xu Haoyu's heart. Was this Guiyi True Art really a cultivation method? The feeling of getting weaker the more he cultivated was enough to make him cough up blood.
However, relying on his powerful soul perception, he eventually succeeded in cultivating the Guiyi True Art. The price was that the Dou Qi within him had become almost imperceptible, as if it could completely dissipate at any moment.
Opening his eyes, Xu Haoyu reached out and swiftly picked up the scrolls one by one. He opened them, pressed them against his forehead, and used his soul perception to study them—the Sharp Metal Art, Azure Wood Art, Mystic Water Art, Exploding Flame Art, Thick Earth Art, Swift Wind Art, and Purple Lightning Art. Torrents of information and countless meridian routes flooded his mind, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Only after quite a while did he recover. His expression turned exceptionally serious as he began trying to circulate the cultivation methods.
First came the Sharp Metal Art. With a thought from him, the barely perceptible trace of Dou Qi within his meridians gradually began to move. After completing one circulation, it rapidly expanded, forming a stream of Metal Attribute Dou Qi filled with the harsh, murderous aura of clashing weapons.
This delighted Xu Haoyu. The Guiyi True Art was perfectly compatible with the Sharp Metal Art, so next he would try fusing even more cultivation methods.
Next came the Mystic Water Art. With another thought, a stream of Dou Qi swiftly split off within his body and began circulating along a new route. Before long, it formed another stream of Water Attribute Dou Qi filled with a deep, chilling aura.
Two different types of Dou Qi, two different circulation routes—yet they ran side by side without conflict. The two circulations linked together, forming a new circulation. At this moment, the extraordinary nature of the Guiyi True Art was fully revealed.
Xu Haoyu no longer hesitated and began cultivating the other methods...
Thick Earth Art!
Azure Wood Art!
Exploding Flame Art!
Swift Wind Art!
Purple Lightning Art!
Seven minor circulations ran in parallel, linking together to form one great circulation.
This was the characteristic of the Guiyi True Art. After fusing seven Mid-Level Mysterious Rank Cultivation Methods, its own rank had reached Earth Rank Low Level. Even its speed of absorbing energy and refining it into Dou Qi far surpassed ordinary Earth Rank Low Level cultivation methods.
Seven different types of Dou Qi converged in Xu Haoyu's dantian and blended seamlessly within the vortex, dyeing the originally milky-white vortex into an exceptionally brilliant seven-colored hue. It did not look chaotic; instead, it gave off a sense of overwhelming power, majesty, and strength.
In the outside world!
Xu Haoyu's expression was extremely grave. For a 1-Star Dou Zhe like him, cultivating an Earth Rank Low Level method had absolutely reached the limit of what his body could withstand. A powerful suction force stirred up a small storm within the room as Heaven and Earth Energy was continuously absorbed and refined by him, causing faint swelling pain to spread through his body.
After less than half a day had passed, a popping sound abruptly rang out in the room. It came from Xu Haoyu's dantian. His Dou Qi vortex expanded another circle, and he actually broke through directly to 2-Star Dou Zhe. Moreover, the richness of his Dou Qi was in no way inferior to that of a 6-Star Dou Zhe, or even a 7-Star Dou Zhe.
Xu Haoyu's special physique, combined with a cultivation method suited to him, made cultivation and breakthroughs as easy as eating and drinking.
At that moment, Xu Haoyu slowly opened his eyes and saw a fierce-looking face almost pressed against his own.
Xu Haoyu jumped in fright. After recovering his senses, he said irritably:
"Senior, could you not get so close? You're really scaring me."
Hearing this, Li Xiantian floated a little farther away. Yet the burning light in his eyes never faded as he let out a strange, sinister chuckle.
"You succeeded. As expected, the Guiyi True Art was prepared specifically for the Myriad Laws Body. Cultivate well. I'll wait for the day you break through to Dou Wang. This old man's true inheritance—the Wrath of Heavens Heart Sutra and the Wrath of Heavens Eight Forms—can only be cultivated after reaching the Dou Wang realm."
After saying that, Li Xiantian seemed to have grown tired as well. His already illusory figure drifted apart and dissolved into streams of air, returning to the Storage Ring from which he had emerged. It fell before Xu Haoyu's eyes.
Xu Haoyu then extended his right hand and pinched the Storage Ring between his index and middle fingers. It had returned to its ordinary appearance. Who would have thought that a Dou Zun's soul body was hidden inside this Storage Ring?
His eyes held a thoughtful look. This Li Xiantian truly did not seem like a good person, but a High-Level Earth Rank cultivation method and Dou Technique still held immense appeal for Xu Haoyu.
He stood and jumped down from the soft couch, putting away the Storage Ring. Xu Haoyu's brow relaxed as he could not help but think:
Even if he was once a Dou Zun, he's only a soul body now...
Then he strode toward the door, pulled it open, and walked outside. Passing through the corridor, he arrived in a courtyard.
There, in the middle of the courtyard, stood a tall old man. His hair and beard were entirely white, yet his skin was smooth and free of a single wrinkle. Dressed in black robes, he exuded a terrifying aura.
Upon seeing him, Xu Haoyu smiled and called out:
"Grandfather!"
This man was his grandfather, Xu Tianlong—the Xu Family's Grand Elder, the strongest expert in the clan, and a Five-Star Dou Zong powerhouse.
Seeing Xu Haoyu, Xu Tianlong wore a kindly expression as he asked excitedly:
"Haoyu, did you succeed in breaking through?"
Xu Haoyu nodded at his words and replied:
"Yes, I succeeded in breaking through. And some things happened just now as well. Grandfather, listen while I tell you..."
