Beneath the Grotto Heavens
Li Fuchan sat cross-legged in front of the Jade Pivot Palace. Having lost his "Yulun" Magic Robe, he changed into a blue and white Daoist robe, his long hair Attaining the Dao bun, meticulously, and he wore a silver crown, secured with a silver hairpin, his appearance dignified.
Before letting Crimson Slips lock up "Muffled Crow in Ambush", he must first carefully comprehend the key points of this Dao Fruit.
To ensure that in future battles with others, one will not suffer defeat due to oversights in some details.
With his "Li Thunder" Dao Attainment as a foundation, this matter was not too difficult for him.
Three months later, he stood up, took out the "Errant Thunder Drum" from his Storage Bag, Immovable Law Power, gently tapped the drum surface with his hand.
The dull drumbeats echoed softly through the empty palace complex.
The gates of the Jade Pivot Palace burst open with a roar. Three illusory jade scrolls flashed by on the altar inside the palace. Only one of them was extremely illusory. Of the remaining two, the crimson jade scroll suddenly emitted a beam of light, which steadily enveloped Li Fuchan.
Li Fuchan had expected that, as Tribulation Divination, Crimson Slips would domineeringly take away his Dao Fruit, cultivation, and the "Li Thunder" blessing. However, this time, he clearly felt an unusual sense of sluggishness.
"Huh?"
Before he could think any further, the Crimson Slips scroll flickered and took away "Muffled Crow in Ambush".
Feeling the loss of both Law Power realm, Li Fuchan vaguely understood the reason for the sluggishness of the Crimson Slips slip earlier.
"It is the achievement of killing Immortal Mystics." Crimson Slips always gave Li Fuchan the feeling that he was not worthy of cultivating "Li Thunder", which was more domineering than the Fruit Position itself.
However, the previous delay may have been due to the belief that Li Fuchan had already achieved some merit and thus had some qualifications.
However, since he did not kill the Purple Mansion Lord, this achievement was somewhat opportunistic. Therefore, Crimson Slips hesitated for only a moment before taking the Dao Fruit from him without hesitation.
Feeling the emptiness in his Sea of Qi, after Crimson Slips took away his Dao Fruit, although he fell from the Inner Vision, he was still an Outer Scenery cultivator, after all, his Six Apertures had been opened and his Three Palaces had been completed.
However, he currently lacks Law Power and the Yang Aspect to rely on, making his speed in unifying the Three Qi and refining Law Power incredibly slow.
His only means of attack now are the Three Lights and Sword Qi. After all, Sword Qi is not powered by Law Power, and with the support of Thunder Method Dao Attainment, its power should not be underestimated.
After "Muffled Crow in Ambush" was taken away, the feeling he had experienced in the Flying Earthworm Cave Secret Seal returned.
Many Blessed Land and Secret Seal locations appeared in his perception, but they were all already occupied.
And those Blessed Land and Secret Seal, without exception, are all located beneath the Grotto Heaven.
"As expected, these Secret Seal can all be Heaven of Separation. Moreover, unlike the Secret Seal of the Flying Earthworm Cave, which required me to personally open the door to leave, I don't need to leave here. If I want, I can even bring people up."
When Li Fuchan first entered the Flying Earthworm Cave Secret Seal through the portal left by the Flood Serpent Fate, he had an insight: those Secret Seal were interconnected, but only through consciousness. Once one could leave, one could communicate with the masters of other Secret Seal, much like a network.
He now wields the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon." As long as his Dao Fruit is contained within the Crimson Slips, he can use the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon" to sense those Secret Seal and Blessed Land, summoning their masters to come and pay homage. However, those who are summoned cannot enter physically like him; only their consciousness can enter. This greatly reduces the potential threat to him.
This is determined by the status of the grotto- Grotto Heaven. As long as he is careful, no one can predict or catch him while he is inside the Grotto Heaven.
"Although I can guide others up, this is both fortuitous opportunity and a danger. Therefore, even if I were to guide others, it would be best to only guide the masters of the Secret Seal and not to contact the masters of the Blessed Land. Firstly, guiding the masters of the Secret Seal up wouldn't be too much of a problem for me, and secondly, I would need to find a way to occupy a Secret Seal as a new exit."
Although he could enter the Heaven of Separation through the portal within the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon," he would still reappear in the same spot if he wanted to leave, making him extremely vulnerable to being ambushed. The only solution was to find a Secret Seal use it as his new exit.
Thinking of this, Li Fuchan breathed a sigh of relief.
"For the next thirty years, the events in the Northern Lands will continue to unfold as Tribulation Divination by the Tribulation Qi. Now that I am seated in the Heaven of Separation, without the 'Li Thunder' causing trouble, the events in the Northern Lands are no longer relevant to me. The most important thing now is to reform my cultivation."
If we're talking about modifications, the easiest one for Li Fuchan to complete is actually "Wandering Gold."
He possesses the "Wandering Gold Journey" Method Formula, the "Gold-Gathering Secret Origin Art," which ranks third and can be cultivated to the point of Outer Scenery Great Accomplishment, thus restoring Life Force.
Moreover, Three Nothing had once instilled a great deal of Daoist doctrines in Li Fuchan order to persuade him to switch to this path, and had made many preparations for him.
However, Li Fuchan rejected this Dao Lineage without hesitation.
Nothing more.
"Wandering Gold" is easy to learn, but extremely difficult to cultivate, especially without the help of others. Just the hurdle of preserving one's Life Force is very difficult to overcome. "Wandering Gold" is gold that has escaped and is in motion, so Spirit Object that follow the path of "Wandering Gold" are extremely difficult to find. Otherwise, Flying Light would not have spent nearly a hundred years scheming and plotting to allow someone as talented as Fei Yiming to cultivate the "Gold-Gathering Secret Origin Art" and forcibly refine himself into a Spirit Object.
Even this Spirit Object required decades of suppression and attrition by Greenbriar Mountain before it could be captured.
Although all of this was secretly influenced and driven by Three Nothing, otherwise Flying Light, a mere Monster, could not have accomplished such a thing.
Even an Evil Spirit transformed by Divine Ability needs to rely on this method to obtain the Spirit Object "Wandering Gold," which shows just how difficult it is to cultivate "Wandering Gold."
He could certainly emulate what Flying Light did, but unlike Flying Light, he wasn't a strange Monster who could live for hundreds of Three Nothing, nor was he a being without any power or form, merely Evil Spirit formed from Divine Ability Law Treasure. He had plenty of time to plan his schemes.
With Outer Scenery lifespan of 150 and Inner Vision of 270, he neither had the time to spend nearly a hundred years deceiving someone into cultivating the "Gold-Gathering Secret Origin Art" and then refining them into Spirit Object just to replenish their Life Force, nor would he do such a thing.
"The 'Wandering Gold' technique is uncultivable. Now, all I have left is the 'Upper Pool Fishing Azure Art' of the 'Shi Water' path. 'Shi Water' is not unique to Ancient Chu; many Aristocratic Clan in South of the Yangtze have inherited it. Spirit Object are not too difficult to find, but this Method Formula..."
Li Fuchan pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Yes, now that I possess Grotto Heaven, I can use Grotto Heaven extremely high status as a means to try and understand more about various Dao Lineage, and even trade Method Formula. If the final gain is minimal, then I will cultivate the 'Upper Pool Fishing Azure Art'."
Li Fuchan had been pushed too far by "Li Thunder" in the past, and had been in a situation where he had no way to retreat many times. However, now he had more than one or two choices, and did not necessarily have to use "Upper Pool Fishing Azure Art".
Li Fuchan immediately took out the "Jade Pivot Thunder Canon," bypassing the Blessed Land altogether, and began to sense the Secret Seal.
"This Secret Seal is too small. The master of the Secret Seal hasn't even opened the portal. He's probably just a low-level cultivator who's just entered the Outer Scenery. He's not worth guiding." "Although this Secret Seal is large, it's so empty. There's probably nothing good here."
"This Secret Seal is too vast, and the master of this Secret Seal is likely no weakling. They must possess a lineage, so they can't be easily deceived."
"Hmm? This one's good, you're the one."
With a thought, Li Fuchan began to guide the consciousness of the master of this Secret Seal.
