White Rainbow Escape Technique Grand Perfection, Beginning Spirit Sculpting

Fang Wang hadn't expected Zhou Xue to be so direct. He cleared his throat and said, "I need to get stronger so I can help you, just like when we faced the sect's destruction."

Zhou Xue stared into his eyes, making him uneasy.

However, thinking that they wouldn't see each other again for several years, Fang Wang had no choice but to meet Zhou Xue's gaze.

After their eyes met for several breaths, Zhou Xue smiled and said, "I can only give you one chance. Tell me, what kind of ultimate skill do you want?"

One chance?

Fang Wang felt a slight disappointment, but he understood Zhou Xue. After all, people's hearts were inscrutable. Moreover, Zhou Xue was a reincarnator; only she knew how many betrayals she had suffered in her past life.

The Sword Control Technique, the Mysterious Sun Scripture, and now this—Fang Wang owed Zhou Xue even more.

As for the life-saving grace, hadn't Zhou Xue saved Fang Wang too? Without the Sword Control Technique, Fang Wang would have certainly died if he had encountered that cultivator. With his integrity, he would never have abandoned his clansmen to escape. Since he had already died once, in this matter, they had saved each other.

Fang Wang couldn't just tell Zhou Xue, "I have the Celestial Palace; help me become invincible, and I'll ensure your eternal peace."

That was too absurd!

No one was the absolute protagonist of the world. Even if Zhou Xue believed he had the Celestial Palace, Fang Wang still had to consider if she might harbor ill intentions.

Ultimately, one could only rely on oneself!

After much thought, Fang Wang felt he wasn't lacking in cultivation methods or combat spells. What he lacked was a speed-based ultimate skill, something that would allow him to escape quickly when encountering an enemy he couldn't defeat. Thus, he voiced his thoughts.

"The Sword Control Technique is just a basic spell in the immortal cultivation world. You do indeed need an escape technique. I'll teach you the White Rainbow Escape Technique," Zhou Xue mused. Seeing Fang Wang about to ask further, she glared at him and said, "Don't ask me if this technique is strong or not. You'll know once you practice it!"

Fang Wang felt awkward and could only nod.

Zhou Xue began to impart the cultivation method for the White Rainbow Escape Technique, and Fang Wang listened intently.

After Zhou Xue finished, Fang Wang was compelled to enter the Celestial Palace. Gazing at the magnificent inner hall of the Celestial Palace, he couldn't help but sigh.

He had been cooped up for two hundred years, and after being out for less than half an hour, he was back.

But he had no choice, as Zhou Xue was about to leave.

He began to cultivate the White Rainbow Escape Technique. This technique was a form of flight; one could transform into a white rainbow and soar through the sky at extreme speeds. Upon mastery, one could move as fast as a white rainbow, traversing ten thousand miles.

Unlike the Mysterious Sun Scripture and the Startling Swan Divine Sword Art, the White Rainbow Escape Technique did not have distinct levels, so Fang Wang couldn't tell how far he was from Grand Perfection.

It took him a full sixty-three years to cultivate the White Rainbow Escape Technique to Grand Perfection. The final result satisfied him greatly; he could indeed move like a white rainbow across the sky, and as his cultivation grew higher, the technique would only become faster.

At least the speed he displayed now surpassed all the flight speeds he had witnessed since joining the Taiyuan Sect.

Fang Wang's consciousness returned to reality, and his vision cleared. He saw Zhou Xue staring at him.

Zhou Xue teased, "How was it, little genius? Was the technique difficult?"

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It was alright. I've already mastered it."

"Heh!"

Zhou Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes, completely disbelieving. She didn't press Fang Wang to demonstrate but stood up and said, "Alright, I should be going now. I hope that when I return, you will have succeeded in Spirit Sculpting."

"Keep in touch with the other Fang Family disciples when you have time. I arranged for you all to be spread across different branches as part of a plan. Even if you are a once-in-a-million genius, you might still face suppression. Even the most righteous sects have internal struggles; no sect purely values talent. Kinship and vested interests are the fundamental basis of everything," Zhou Xue cautioned, fearing Fang Wang would follow the same path as in her past life.

Fang Wang nodded. He didn't dislike socializing, especially not with his own kin. He just wanted to become stronger first.

Afterward, Fang Wang escorted Zhou Xue out of the cave dwelling. Zhou Xue left directly on her sword, transforming into a white rainbow and vanishing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

The White Rainbow Escape Technique!

Fang Wang silently commented, it could be considered a minor success. As expected of a reincarnator.

He suddenly heard movement nearby. He turned his head and saw Gu Li emerging from his cave dwelling. She looked at Fang Wang with a complex expression.

Gu Li's gaze made Fang Wang's scalp tingle. He smiled and gave Gu Li a slight nod.

Gu Li responded with a nod as well, then left on her sword, which made Fang Wang breathe a sigh of relief. He had genuinely feared Gu Li would pester him.

Following that, Fang Wang returned to his cave dwelling to continue his cultivation.

Three months later, Fang Wang's Spiritual Energy reached a state of abundance. He felt he could no longer improve and thus left his cave dwelling to visit his master, Yang Yuanzi.

Inside the Pure Heart Hall.

Yang Yuanzi looked at Fang Wang strangely and said, "You have indeed reached the state for Spirit Sculpting. Has it been a full year since you started cultivating?"

Fang Wang replied, "Almost."

Yang Yuanzi's mouth twitched, and he sighed, "With your talent, you should have gone to the first branch. The Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Sword Formation is powerful, but it's too difficult to learn. The first branch's lineage inheritance is also very strong."

"Having already joined the third branch, how could this disciple be fickle? Master, rest assured, I will cultivate diligently and bring glory to the third branch!" Fang Wang said earnestly.

He deliberately made this statement to become the eldest disciple as soon as possible and obtain the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Sword Formation. At the very least, becoming the eldest disciple would grant him more cultivation resources.

Relying on the Grand Perfection Mysterious Sun Scripture and the cave dwelling of a Personal Disciple, Fang Wang didn't currently lack resources, but he wouldn't be arrogant. He believed that subsequent realms would be even more challenging.

Even someone as powerful as Zhou Xue had to seek opportunities everywhere.

Yang Yuanzi didn't smile upon hearing Fang Wang's words. Instead, he shook his head and continued, "All nine branches have places for Spirit Sculpting, but your cultivation talent is a once-in-a-century rarity. I'll take you to see the Sect Master. The Spirit Sculpting grounds on the main peak are more effective."

Fang Wang was overjoyed and quickly thanked his master.

And so, Fang Wang followed Yang Yuanzi to the main peak, where the master and disciple entered Shiyuan Hall to pay their respects to Sect Master Guang Qiuxian.

Guang Qiuxian was not surprised to hear that Fang Wang was about to sculpt his treasure spirit. After all, he had long known about Fang Wang's cultivation speed. Stroking his beard, he smiled, "Of course you can. Come along, there's someone sculpting their spirit right now, you can go and watch."

He stood up, leading Yang Yuanzi and Fang Wang towards a side hall.

They walked through winding corridors and arrived at a deep part of Shiyuan Hall. This area was connected to the mountainside, and a waterfall cascaded from the clouds, forming a small pool. In the pool, a man with his upper body bare was sculpting his spirit.

Fang Wang stood on the corridor and saw a set of clothes and a book box nearby. He immediately realized this was the black-clothed man from his batch. The man had been wearing a bamboo hat and was completely wrapped up before, which was why Fang Wang hadn't recognized him at first glance.

"This young man is named Zhou Xingshi. He joined the Taiyuan Sect with you and was once defeated by you. He has now joined the second lineage. Don't underestimate him; he is about to sculpt a Mysterious Origin Treasure Spirit."

Guang Qiuxian smiled, stroking his beard. Seeing more and more geniuses emerging from the Taiyuan Sect filled his heart with pride.

Yang Yuanzi snorted, "You're having him sculpt his spirit here, thinking he'll be able to sculpt an Earth Origin Treasure Spirit, aren't you?"

"Everyone needs to have a dream."

"Heh, geniuses like Lu Yuanjun are rare once in several hundred years. How can you encounter them so easily?"

"Oh, really? You don't have confidence in your disciple?"

As Fang Wang listened, he felt something was off. These two seemed to be subtly competing. Were they not getting along?

No wonder the Sect Master had initially tried to dissuade him from going to the third lineage.

This is bad, did I pick the wrong side!

Is the third lineage being ostracized by the Sect Master?

Yang Yuanzi snorted, "We'll know soon enough!"

Fang Wang stared at Zhou Xingshi. Zhou Xingshi looked to be in his late twenties or early thirties, with a slightly weathered appearance. At this moment, strands of black light swirled around him like a vortex, flowing towards the top of his head.

Above his head, a black fan was slowly condensing, gradually solidifying, and faintly showing a metallic texture.

Is this a treasure spirit?

Fang Wang's heart was filled with anticipation, anticipating his own treasure spirit.

Guang Qiuxian and Yang Yuanzi stopped bickering and focused on watching.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the black fan above Zhou Xingshi's head suddenly trembled. A visible wave of black energy erupted, sweeping across the pool's surface, even cutting off the waterfall. Seeing it about to impact Shiyuan Hall, Guang Qiuxian raised his hand, blocking it with his own Spiritual Energy.

Boom——

The black energy wave collided with an invisible iron wall and instantly dispersed. Fang Wang's robes fluttered, and the hair on his temples was blown back. He couldn't help but look at Guang Qiuxian, secretly astonished.

I wonder what realm the Sect Master is in?

Just his aura alone made Fang Wang feel a sense of dread, as if he couldn't resist.

Zhou Xingshi in the pool slowly opened his eyes. He raised his right hand, and the black fan above his head quickly fell into his grasp. Holding the fan, he smiled, a look of relief on his face.

"A high-grade Mysterious Origin Treasure Spirit. Remarkable, enough to rank in the top ten among the current disciples," Guang Qiuxian praised.

Zhou Xingshi stood up and bowed to Guang Qiuxian. At the same time, he noticed Fang Wang's arrival.

Guang Qiuxian looked at Fang Wang and smiled, "Go ahead, sit in the pool, circulate your energy, and imagine the treasure spirit you desire. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy here will help you sculpt your own treasure spirit."

Fang Wang nodded and immediately walked towards the small pool. Zhou Xingshi followed, and the two nodded at each other, acknowledging their presence.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the pool, Fang Wang took a deep breath and began to close his eyes and circulate his energy.

After putting on his clothes, Zhou Xingshi did not leave but stayed to watch Fang Wang sculpt his spirit.

Under the gaze of the three, Fang Wang felt a slight pressure, but he quickly cast aside external distractions.

According to the General Principles of Cultivation, natal treasure spirits are divided into Yellow Origin Treasure Spirits, Mysterious Origin Treasure Spirits, Earth Origin Treasure Spirits, and Heaven Origin Treasure Spirits from low to high. Each tier is further divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and ultimate grade. The highest grade treasure spirit in Taiyuan Sect's history was only a low-grade Earth Origin Treasure Spirit.

It is said that Lu Yuanjun's natal treasure spirit reached mid-grade Earth Origin Treasure Spirit, breaking the historical record of the Taiyuan Sect. He is also the reason for the current resurgence of the Taiyuan Sect.

Sculpting a natal treasure spirit requires a special Heavenly Dao Spirit Stone. Only on a Heavenly Dao Spirit Stone can a natal treasure spirit be sculpted. The bottom of the small pool where Fang Wang was located was a massive Heavenly Dao Spirit Stone.

The reason the nine major sects dominate the Great Qi's immortal cultivation world is that they possess the highest-grade Heavenly Dao Spirit Stones, and not just one. Many immortal cultivation families cannot sculpt spirits and can only have their disciples join the nine major sects.

Fang Wang began to imagine the form of his natal treasure spirit.

His first choice was a sword, as his strongest killing move was the Startling Swan Divine Sword Art.

Gradually, wisps of firelight emanated from him, swirling around his body before converging towards the top of his head, just like Zhou Xingshi before him.
