"Boy, transmit this Soul Dao technique to me using your Divine Sense."
Let me think about it.
"Yes, and leave all the Soul Dao resources inside to me."
"As for this bead, although it is a fourth-tier Soul Dao Law Treasure, it does not suit my taste."
"If you want to use it, then refine it yourself. Combining Divine Sense illusion attacks with Sword Dao should significantly boost your combat power."
Elder Jian's voice rang out again.
There was a hint of excitement inside.
He started out practicing swordsmanship, and throughout his life he was arrogant and only focused on the Sword Dao.
Their vast resources and power are all controlled by those behind them, and they completely ignore unorthodox methods.
Even though they had already attained the Venerable Realm back then, they still hadn't acquired a single Soul Dao technique.
Now that he has obtained this Soul Dao method, he can support himself and may no longer have to suffer the torment of Ye Chenfeng Fate Pattern!
Yes! Indeed, one still has to rely on oneself.
It's much easier to be self-reliant than to teach others.
Upon hearing Elder Jian said, Ye Chenfeng did not notice anything unusual.
He honestly revealed all the Soul Dao Cultivation Method he had hidden within.
At the same time, he transferred all the resources inside that could help improve soul cultivation into his Storage Bag, leaving them for Elder Jian, without the slightest greed.
He still held Elder Jian in high esteem.
But in the end, he looked at the gray-white magic beads in his hand.
He didn't refine it, but simply put it away.
"Hmm? Kid, why don't you refine this bead?"
"Do you look down on unorthodox methods? If so, I advise you to go ahead and refine your own."
"Although we sword cultivators have made the sword our strongest weapon, having more methods is always a good thing."
"It's at least a fourth-tier soul treasure, and its methods are strange, yet it helped you."
Elder Jian's voice was tinged with melancholy.
Back then, wasn't he just like Ye Chenfeng, scoffing at unorthodox methods?
Now that I've ended up here, I realize that all methods in the world have their strengths and weaknesses.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head upon hearing this, his voice sincere.
It's not that I look down on this treasure.
"However, I'm about to see Junior Brother Lu. It's been so long since we last met, I should at least have a decent gift for him."
" Junior Brother Lu is skilled in weapon crafting, knowledgeable in all kinds of arts, and has a particular fondness for these strange and unusual gadgets."
"Give it to him, he'll be very happy."
Elder Jian: "..."
Silence, an immense silence, arose within the sword-shaped energy core in the Dantian.
Elder Jian was at a loss for words.
He ignored it and went off to study the Soul Dao Cultivation Method on his own.
He was determined to stay away from Ye Chenfeng's strange Fate Pattern once his Divine Soul was fully formed.
He's only a little over ten thousand years old; that's the age for him to take risks.
It's never too late to start practicing!
As for Ye Chenfeng, his heart was in turmoil and he found it difficult to calm down.
If they've already encountered Lu Li's disciple, how far away is it for them to see Lu Li himself?
This journey has also yielded this treasure; the Soul Pearl contains the records of that soul cultivator.
Once one masters this magical Law Treasure, one can conceal one's form and hide one's aura.
He can better lead Junior Brother Lu away from the Demon Manor.
"I wonder what kind of suffering Junior Brother Lu is still enduring at the hands of that great demon."
"Junior brother, don't panic, your elder brother is here!"
With a firm resolve, Ye Chenfeng summoned his flying sword and continued flying towards the location of the Blessed Land he remembered...
"Achoo~!"
"Not good!"
Inside the Beyond Heaven Dao Academy the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Lu Li sneezed violently.
His face immediately became alert.
Late Golden Core, sneezing for no reason?! How is that possible?!
Something's not right!
Something's completely wrong!
"Why does this sneeze feel so familiar?"
What's going on?
Lu Li opened his eyes and stopped circulating his Cultivation Method.
His eyes kept flickering.
After breaking through to the Late Golden Core, besides continuing to drink to improve his cultivation, he devoted himself to studying and refining that fifth-order body cultivation Cultivation Method.
He was just practicing the Mnemonic of the Cultivation Method when he suddenly sneezed.
This disturbed his peace of mind, making it difficult for him to concentrate on his cultivation.
But after thinking it over and over, Lu Li had no idea what the problem was.
Today, the entire Beyond Heaven Dao Academy, both the inner and outer courtyards, is thriving and well-organized.
The recruitment, teaching, and development of disciples, and even the resource industry, are changing rapidly.
The Golden Ape Blessed Land is even more secretive, with the Golden Ape presiding over it and Yuanhao in charge.
There is absolutely no hidden danger.
Everything was fine, so why am I suddenly feeling so anxious?
"Could it be that the Prefecture-Breaking War is about to begin?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Nether Toad didn't receive any signal either. Besides, even if the Prefecture-Breaking War begins, I don't need to panic."
"As planned, once the Prefecture-Breaking War begins, the Golden Ape and the Nether Toad will lead their troops into battle."
"I will lead my core disciples to wait silently in the rear for the walls to be breached. When the two prefectures are at war and the Western Continent is in chaos, the entire rear of the Demon Manor will be empty, and I will then take them out one by one."
"There's nothing wrong with this plan..."
Lu Li thought about it again and again, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
If I really have to point out a flaw...
The only drawback at the moment is that the cultivators of the Dao Academy are not strong enough.
Without a high-level cultivator in charge, relying solely on artifacts can easily lead to accidents.
The Great Xia's Spirit Machinery technology is not yet advanced enough to remotely control battles that occur hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Even long-range strikes require guidance and control from the Divine Sense of high-level cultivators.
After all, the Dao Academy is not wealthy enough to release near-Earth Spirit Machinery satellites for guidance in this realm.
"Could this be a warning?"
"At present, the only Golden Core cultivator we can rely on is Yuanhao."
"Our disciples aren't strong enough; we can't resolve this in a short time."
Planning the Dao Academy for over ten years has yielded this scale, which is no easy feat.
Selecting suitable inner court disciples is even more arduous.
However, to expect to procure another batch of True Lord in such a short time is simply wishful thinking.
Oh well, whether it's a warning or just the unknown.
Since we don't understand it, let's just take it as a spur to action.
Lu Li shook his head, clearing his mind of the random thoughts.
He stood up and returned from the Golden Ape Blessed Land, marking his first time leaving seclusion and departing from the underground palace.
I'm preparing to inspect the cultivation progress of the disciples in each of the various halls.
"Whoosh!"
With a flash, Lu Li flew out of the underground palace.
They headed straight for the inner courtyard's Battle Hall.
Each hall in the inner courtyard has its own defined responsibilities.
Each hall is of great significance.
The Battle Hall was the first to be affected.
Once the Prefecture-Breaking War begins, the disciples of the Battle Hall will be the core force that will fight alongside him in the Demon Manor.
In response, the Inner Court Battle Hall has extremely strict requirements for the selection and assessment of its on-duty disciples.
First, there's cultivation level; the minimum cultivation level for a disciple of the Battle Hall is the Late Qi Refining.
Secondly, it involves understanding and applying combat techniques.
There are also demonstrations of wearing and controlling various Spirit Machinery Law Artifact in actual combat.
The Great Xia even specifically developed a macro-strategy course for the disciples of the Inner Court Battle Hall.
He teaches his students the deployment and application of strategies and tactics from a broad perspective, using a large map and a grand worldview.
Lu Li appeared outside the Battle Hall.
Inside, eight disciples of the Battle Hall listened solemnly to the teachings conveyed through the Jade Slip image.
A loud voice reached Lu Li's ears.
"On the Strategic Essentials of High-Intensity Protracted Warfare!"
