The Path of Cultivation

The white figure revealed itself to be a young woman with skin as white as congealed fat.

She examined the deceased Jing Su Shi, then walked over to Fu Ying's corpse. Looking at her dead companion, she couldn't help but spit,

"What a fool!"

Just then, a raven, completely black, descended from the sky and landed on Fu Ying's corpse.

Then, the raven spoke in human language:

"Ao Li, it has been confirmed. The Su Family still has a direct daughter who is away. She should still be on HunZhou Island at this time. I have sent a message to the island via raven, instructing someone to go and apprehend her."

"A newborn direct son of the Jing Family was carried away by the Spider Mother. You need to help Fu Ying kill these two."

"If the direct bloodlines of the Jing and Su Families are not completely wiped out, the Destiny Hearth on this island will not be easy to extinguish!"

"Although this battle was won smoothly, the reactions of the other Destiny Islands are still unknown."

"You two must act quickly and return as soon as possible to guard the spoils of war!"

Ao Li was even more enraged upon hearing the raven's message.

This Fu Ying was too unreliable. Not only was he killed by an old woman, but he also left a mess for her to clean up.

He was dead and gone, but a Rank Eight Dragon Elephant had died. When she returned, she would inevitably be punished by the Island Master.

Although Ao Li was angry, she still had to do what needed to be done.

She casually conjured a blue flame and threw it onto Jing Su Shi's body.

In the blink of an eye, the bodies of the Jing Family grandmother and grandchild were completely burned by the flame.

The flame burned fiercely, yet it emitted a bone-chilling coldness.

The young girl had not yet entered the Dao and was burned until only a tiny, crystal-clear blood bead remained.

Jing Su Shi was a Rank Eight Dragon Elephant realm cultivator. Her physical body was extraordinary. In this flame, it burned for more than three hours.

It wasn't until a Soul Manipulating Spider Mother Dharma Idol collapsed that her physical body was completely refined and burned into a crystal-clear spider jade sculpture.

This spider was blue with a hint of green, clearly not an ordinary object.

Ao Li carefully put it away, then picked up the blood bead and used a stream of magical power to activate it.

Instantly, a ray of magical power and spiritual light, invisible to the naked eye, shot out into the distance.

Ao Li glanced at the direction of the spiritual light and followed where it pointed, walking onto the surface of the sea.

The sea water surged, but with every step she took, the sea water beneath her feet would instantly freeze, forming a piece of floating ice for her to step on.

With a push, she leaped forward a distance of ten zhang!

Ao Li walked across the sea like this, pursuing Jing Qian!

Just looking at her speed, although Jing Qian had a head start of half a day, she would definitely catch up to him in no more than three days!

Within the Destiny Stele Space, Jing Qian sat cross-legged, digesting the newly acquired mass of memories.

The tall, thin cultivator's cultivation was not shallow, and the first cluster of memories he contributed could be said to be priceless!

These memories contained all the common knowledge of cultivation he had accumulated over decades of practice.

For Jing Qian, there was nothing he looked forward to more than this knowledge!

He absorbed the knowledge within like a thirsty man, as if he had stepped through the door to a new world. A magnificent blueprint of cultivation slowly unfolded before him!

Within the realm of HunZhou Island, the vital energy was abundant, resources were plentiful, and cultivation flourished.

Cultivators could nourish their Destiny Essence to establish their destiny, refine techniques to prolong life, build islands, and ignite Destiny Hearths in pursuit of longevity, walking a grand and glorious path of cultivation.

This path of cultivation had been passed down in this world for countless years, with the accumulated experience of innumerable predecessors and a complex and precise path of advancement.

At this moment, with the peculiar effects of the Destiny Stele Space, Jing Qian saved the time of learning and accumulation, easily mastering a vast amount of knowledge about cultivation.

In this world, those with potential relied on their bloodline talent and strong physique to accumulate Destiny Essence.

Once a complete Destiny Essence was accumulated, they would usher in the opportunity to formally enter the path!

By relying on the Determining Destiny methods within various inheritances, connecting with a Destiny Hearth, they could use the Destiny Fire within it to refine their spirit and physical body, awakening their first Destiny Constitution!

This was the first heavenly barrier on the path of cultivation. If they failed to cross it, their spirit and physical body would be severely damaged, their vital energy greatly depleted, and their path forward would be cut off.

Crossing it meant a vast expanse of possibilities, directly entering the ninth-grade Determining Destiny rank, becoming a true cultivator.

From then on, cultivators could rely on their fundamental Destiny Constitution to continue accumulating Destiny Essence and, with the help of various secret methods, fuse new Destiny Constitutions.

The fusion and enhancement of Destiny Constitutions and Destiny Essence were the most crucial steps on the path of cultivation.

Each Destiny Constitution contained unique power and laws, which could not only strengthen the cultivator's physical body and spirit but also grant them various incredible divine abilities.

When cultivators in the Determining Destiny realm continued to accumulate cultivation, quantitative change would lead to qualitative change, ushering in the first improvement in the quality of their Destiny Essence.

Ninth-grade Destiny Essence was pure white in color, corresponding to the White Fang rank.

After the qualitative change, its color would turn from white to azure, its quality increasing tenfold, corresponding to the Azure Wing rank.

When a cultivator refined their first Destiny Essence of Azure Wing quality, their cultivation and combat power would also increase tenfold, allowing them to advance to the eighth-grade Dragon Elephant rank.

At this stage, divine abilities were self-sufficient, and magical power was strong. With every move, there was immense power.

In the realm of HunZhou Island, they were already the pillars guarding a Destiny Island!

Upon reaching the Dragon Elephant rank, if cultivators wanted to continue cultivating, they relied on the foundation of their inheritance.

Destiny Constitutions were myriad and strange, with varying ranks. Obtaining high-quality, high-rank Destiny Constitutions often determined a cultivator's future cultivation height and achievements.

And when different Destiny Constitutions were combined, even more miraculous power would manifest!

When cultivators in the Dragon Elephant realm, according to a specific inheritance, matched a suitable Destiny Constitution system, they could condense a unique Dharma Idol.

The core of cultivation in the entire eighth-grade Dragon Elephant realm was the process of condensing a Dharma Idol.

Once the Dharma Idol was formed, they only needed to accumulate further to raise the quality of their Destiny Essence to the Blue Blood rank, advancing to the seventh-grade Prolonging Life realm.

Upon reaching this realm, they could ignite a Destiny Hearth, establish their own Destiny Island, cultivate their own cultivation forces, and become a lord of a region.

Being able to advance to the seventh-grade Prolonging Life was the lifelong aspiration of this tall, thin cultivator!

However, he was merely a ninth-grade Determining Destiny cultivator who had refined three Destiny Constitutions.

Within his accumulated knowledge, the information regarding cultivation and entering the Dao was quite detailed.

Going deeper, whether it was condensing a Dharma Idol or advancing to Prolonging Life, there was simply no path.

And he was completely ignorant of the cultivation path after Prolonging Life.

In the HunZhou Island region, for rogue cultivators, incomplete inheritances and inability to advance were the norm.

Only the core handful of cultivators on the major Destiny Islands possessed truly complete Dharma Idol inheritances, practically monopolizing the path to advancing to Prolonging Life.

However, these profound cultivation matters were for later.

For Jing Qian, focusing on the accumulation of Destiny Essence and how to gather the cultivation materials for the Three Sacrifices Establishing Fate Method technique mentioned in the tall, thin cultivator's memory was the proper priority at the moment!
