Years Dao Method, Secret Realm Closes

Wei Zhong reluctantly put down the jade slip containing the cultivation method and looked at the black stone beside him.

According to the information left by Bai He, this object was a special treasure material for carrying profound Dao methods.

The black rock was the size of a palm, and Wei Zhong couldn't identify its material. It was just extremely tough, and under the exploration of his Spirit Seeking Art, there was no trace of spiritual energy.

A divine object conceals itself. If it were placed among mortals, any passing cultivator would surely think it was just an ordinary rock.

Years Dao Method, the black stone contained precisely such an extremely special method.

Bai He once said that the special nature of this method surpassed his understanding of thousands of years of cultivation and was an important guarantee for him to cultivate from Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation.

It was also the basis for his guess that the Spring Autumn Water Refining Art was more than just a Mahayana conjecture.

Wei Zhong raised it and brought it close to his forehead.

Immediately, he felt as if his head had exploded, and his soul left his body, floating towards the distant void.

His eyes seemed to see the chaos of the universe, the birth of the world, with a stone tablet standing in the middle, inscribed with "Years Dao Method."

Wei Zhong merged into it, transformed into a living being, and experienced birth, aging, illness, and death, through countless reincarnations. A ray of light continuously imprinted on Wei Zhong's soul, from blurry to clear, from incomplete to complete.

It seemed like a thousand years had passed, yet also like a fleeting moment. When Wei Zhong awoke from his daze, the complete Years Dao Method had already been engraved in his mind.

Wei Zhong had never heard of this kind of inheritance method. The methods of transmitting cultivation techniques in the cultivation world, from simple books and notes to jade slips, were just simple records and transmissions of information.

This was the first time Wei Zhong had experienced a method like the Years Dao Method, which allowed one to personally experience its birth, gradual formation, and ultimate completion.

Carefully examining the Dao method, Wei Zhong was amazed.

Years, years, naturally a Dao method related to time.

Reading through the entire text, it was all about borrowing. Borrowing from the river of time, borrowing from the past, borrowing from the future, all kinds of power added to the present.

Borrowing from the past was a profound method of concealing one's cultivation. By simply consuming one's own mana, one could reduce one's apparent cultivation level.

It could not be seen through by Dao methods of the same level, because the cultivation displayed was indeed the true cultivation, but it was the cultivation of the past.

Borrowing from the future was a method of briefly increasing one's cultivation realm by consuming lifespan, which could be maintained for a full hour.

Qi Refining could consume seven and a half years of lifespan to increase by one minor realm. The minor realm here did not refer to the first to ninth layers of Qi Refining, but to the early, middle, and late stages.

Foundation Establishment was twelve years, and so on, Core Formation was twenty-five years...

Roughly consuming one-twentieth of the lifespan of an average cultivator in their current realm.

If one crossed a major realm, the consumption would be doubled.

For example, Wei Zhong, who was currently in the late stage of Qi Refining, would need to consume twice seven and a half years, which was fifteen years of lifespan, to advance to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

At first glance, it might seem that this method was nothing special, but the terrifying thing was that one cast was not the limit.

A person could cast it three times in a short period, which was equivalent to increasing by three minor realms, equivalent to one major realm.

And at this moment, Wei Zhong only needed to consume forty-five years of lifespan to immediately become a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator for one hour.

There were indeed cultivators with cross-level combat power in the cultivation world, but there were very few secret methods to increase cultivation in the short term, and they were all secret methods that extremely overdrawed potential and could only increase by half or one minor realm.

After using them, not to mention immediate death, one would be close to the end of their life.

It can be seen how profound this "Years Dao Method" is.

No wonder Bai He, as a Transformation God stage cultivator, would admire it so much.

The only pity is that this method requires the "Spring Autumn Water Refining Art" as its foundation to be used, which means Wei Zhong can only look at it now and cannot use it.

Spring and Autumn, there is indeed a connection between the two.

Looking at the black stone in his hand, perhaps this is what attracted the "Time Treasure Record", which is why it brought me to this cave heaven.

With such an arrangement, how can a destined person be expected?

Recalling the empty treasure position in the high tower, he suddenly understood.

Probably the arrangements made by this Senior Bai He in the past have been completely destroyed by the passage of time.

If I hadn't come here, I'm afraid this inheritance would have been lost with the Qingchuan Secret Realm to who knows where.

Putting down the black stone, Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to put the three items into his bag, but returned to the main hall.

In the corner of the hall was an inconspicuous round bead. According to Bai He, this object was the hub of this cave heaven. Refining it would allow one to take this cave heaven for their own use.

A cave heaven treasure, even the Azurewood Sect, which is considered a Golden Core force, probably doesn't have one.

Releasing his mana, Wei Zhong began to refine this object.

In just a moment, Wei Zhong had successfully refined it. Everything in the cave heaven began to appear before Wei Zhong's eyes.

It was ten acres in size, with spirit veins spreading underground, seemingly connected to the Spirit Stone Mine outside. Above were Spirit Fields, a small courtyard, including the Cultivation Room in the courtyard, the main hall, and the living room, all of which were clearly visible in Wei Zhong's mind.

With a thought, the cave heaven shrank, turning into a square mark on the back of Wei Zhong's hand. With Wei Zhong's thoughts, the mark quickly disappeared.

Wei Zhong could sense that as long as he wanted, he could immediately enter that cave heaven. It was indeed a good way to avoid powerful enemies.

The only pity was that he couldn't control the cave heaven to move inside. If someone guarded the "birth point," it would be a bit difficult.

At this moment, Wei Zhong was in the high tower, and the no-fly restriction had become ineffective as Wei Zhong took away the cave heaven.

This trip had been completed satisfactorily, and Wei Zhong left the place contentedly.

Looking at the Spirit Stone Mine in the distance, he suddenly thought:

The cave heaven's spirit vein is connected to this Spirit Stone Mine, so can this mine be moved into the cave heaven?

As soon as this idea appeared, the mark on Wei Zhong's right hand, representing the cave heaven treasure, immediately became extremely hot.

At the same time, the Azurewood Sect disciples in the underground mine discovered that an earthquake had begun inside the mine.

"Not good, this mine is about to collapse. All disciples abandon mining and leave this place."

Lu Yibin's expression changed drastically as he issued the order.

All the sect disciples immediately abandoned their work and followed their leader to leave.

If they were buried in the mine, with the strength of these Qi Refining cultivators, probably no one would be able to survive.

Looking at the collapsing mine in front of him, Lu Yibin showed regret:

"It's a pity, we were about to dig to the core of this vein, which is where the Mid-Grade Spirit Stones are most concentrated."

"Senior Brother Lu need not be like this. The collapse of the Spirit Stone Mine was expected, it was only a matter of time. We have already mined a sufficient amount of Spirit Stones, even the elders of the Azurewood Sect will not blame us."

Lu Yibin sighed, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally turned it into a sentence: "It's all fate."

In the invisible underground, Wei Zhong watched as the treasure of the cave seemed to turn into a black hole, taking in large areas of the Spirit Stone Mine.

After the collection was completed, Wei Zhong probed into it and found that the mine was closely connected to the Spirit Vein.

Not only that, the spiritual energy in the cave became more concentrated, and the scale of the cave also increased.

In the future, he can learn the art of moving Spirit Veins and Spirit Stone Mines to increase the level of Spirit Veins in the cave.

As Wei Zhong took away the Spirit Stone Mine, the Qingchuan Secret Realm also changed, and a sense of rejection came.

This Secret Realm is about to close again.
