Cultivating Techniques

The Great Tree Sage and Aierde, the Light ascetic, both agreed.

The two of them were their respective churches' representatives on the Abyssal Rift issue.

They did have the authority to dispose of this little bit of garbage.

Presumably, even a faction like the Church of Wealth, which collected rare treasures, would not refuse over such a minor matter.

Any demon that crawled out of such a small Abyssal Rift was bound not to be a high-ranking demon.

They could only be low- or mid-ranking demons, below the level of High-Level Transcendents.

But the Light ascetic and the Great Tree Sage both warned Wentesi:

"Never leave demon corpses exposed out in the open, or they'll contaminate the surrounding environment."

Wentesi naturally agreed.

After all, selling the demon corpses to the cultivation world certainly wouldn't contaminate the environment of the Western fantasy world.

Finally, the Great Tree Sage told him that the Abyssal Rift would open in three months, and that Wentesi must come when it did.

Wentesi agreed, and there was nothing else after that.

But Wentesi vaguely sensed that something was a little odd about Aierde. The Light ascetic seemed to want to speak to him, opening his mouth as if to say something, only to hold back.

Since he held back, forget it.

Wentesi was no considerate good dragon, and he certainly wouldn't tactfully coax Aierde into speaking.

He spread his dragon wings and left the place.

Watching Wentesi's retreating figure, the Great Tree Sage was filled with emotion:

So you never joined the Church of Light, Wentesi. I still have a chance... heh heh.

Thinking this, the Great Tree Sage looked at the girl Aila, who lay on the ground, and her master Aierde.

Aila was nothing to worry about. She was simply circulating the battle Qi in her body, trying to remove the Hairy Head Sun Law Power that remained inside her, but she failed again and again.

Aierde was another matter. His thoughts were written all over his face, his brow furrowed and his lips pressed together.

He watched the red dragon Wentesi depart, as if he had some trouble he could not speak of.

Church of Light, you haven't gotten the red dragon yet, so I still have a chance! Mother Goddess above, bless me!

The Great Tree Sage had never left that day. He had been there ever since the girl Aila began her sneak attack on the red dragon Wentesi!

And even as the battle grew fiercer and took more twists and turns, he had no intention of intervening.

The sudden battle between Wentesi and Aila, and the way the ascetic Aierde had shown no sign of knowing Wentesi,

finally let the Great Tree Sage know that the red dragon Wentesi did not believe in the God of Light.

Wentesi was still a nonbeliever!

He still had a chance, though the source of that inexplicable Power of the Rule of Light in Wentesi seemed somewhat suspicious...

Never mind that. First, he would draw Wentesi into the embrace of the Goddess of the Wild.

"Praise the Mother Goddess!"

That battle just now nearly caught me out. No, I have to strengthen myself as soon as possible.

Soaring across the sky, Wentesi recalled the battle, and his heart sank.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to rely on his control over Hairy Head Sun Law Power, he probably would have been in danger.

For some reason, ever since he crossed over to the cultivation world, he had encountered battle after battle.

And rather frequently at that!

In the previous battles, his strength and wits had been enough to see him through without trouble.

But this time, his opponent had been a High-Level Transcendent warrior, all the way at level thirteen.

He was only level nine. The gap was too great.

He had only scraped out a victory thanks to Hairy Head Sun Law Power.

I have to get stronger! I can't keep wallowing in decadence like this! This feeling is unbearable.

Remembering how the girl Aila had ambushed him and knocked him straight to the ground left him deeply annoyed.

He had many ways to increase his strength.

One was naturally to do as ordinary red dragons did: eat and sleep, then wander around for a few rounds of exercise. By lying low like that, his strength would naturally grow as he aged.

Even a human genius like Aila could not compare with the talent of a top-tier long-lived species like Wentesi's.

After all, his was a race that could become Legendary just by staying alive.

Aila might have reached the High-Level Transcendent realm at only fourteen or fifteen,

but every hurdle ahead of her, from High-Level Transcendent to Sanctuary, and from Sanctuary to Legendary, would be incomparably difficult.

Wentesi only needed to stay alive. Reaching Sanctuary and Legendary was merely a matter of time.

But time is exactly what I lack...

The drawback was that it took far too long!

The dragon inheritance stated that the vast majority of true dragons died before reaching adulthood.

They died without even touching Sanctuary, let alone becoming Legendary.

That was because their growth period was far too long, and at each age they often encountered dangers they could not withstand at that stage, so they died young.

Of course, true dragons that reached Sanctuary and Legendary true dragons had virtually no opponents in a one-on-one fight.

After going around in circles, he had come back to the cultivation world.

I almost forgot, I still have quite a few Cultivation Methods and manuals, and the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao Law Artifacts I just got my hands on.

Wentesi really did have quite a few Cultivation Methods.

By grade and Dao lineage, they were:

The eighth-grade [Hairy Head Sun] "Hairy Head Sun Method";

The sixth-grade [Room Sun] "Great Sun Earth Buddha Sutra";

The fourth-grade Buddhist body-refining "Formless Muscle-Changing Sutra";

The third-grade [Turtle Beak Fire] "Lesser Karmic Fire Incantation-Chanting Sutra";

The second-grade [Encampment Fire] "Three Yang Earth Fire Method";

Of these, the paths of the [Hairy Head Sun] and [Room Sun] Cultivation Methods had both been severed in the cultivation world. No one had cultivated them to a higher level, so he would not be constrained or controlled.

For some reason, Wentesi always felt that he should also do well if he cultivated the virtue of fire.

There was also his one and only Technique, which he had tricked the monk Wuchen into giving him: "Brahma Sound Six Consciousnesses Many Ears Penetration."

And there were the Law Artifacts he had obtained from the monk Wuchen: a golden storage bracelet and the Soul-Stabilizing Bell, a Qi Ingestion realm Law Artifact.

Hmm, I need to cultivate diligently for a while. I'll focus on my main method, the "Hairy Head Sun Method," supplement it with the "Great Sun Earth Buddha Method" to refine the Golden Land, and add the body-refining "Formless Muscle-Changing Sutra."

I can also learn the "Brahma Sound Six Consciousnesses Many Ears Penetration." After all, it wasn't easy for me to get that Technique.

Wentesi increasingly felt that he had not devoted himself to cultivation.

A dragon's nature was too playful and lax.

If he resolved to strive for improvement, he could surely advance another step.

Relying on the immortal techniques and Cultivation Methods of the cultivation world, perhaps he could break through to the Legendary realm before reaching adulthood at a hundred years old!

Come to think of it, what cultivation realms in the cultivation world would the Sanctuary and Legendary powerhouses on his side correspond to?

At that thought, Wentesi sank deeper into contemplation.

As he flew and pondered, Wentesi remembered his Field of Merit golden eagle in the cultivation world.

They should be getting close to that market by now, right? I'll see whether I can sense him from the Western fantasy world.

Wentesi immediately sent his consciousness into the Golden Land, intending to use it as a medium to sense the Field of Merit golden eagle.

After sensing for a long time, he finally detected a faint trace of presence.

Following that faint presence, Wentesi extended his consciousness into the cultivation world.

As soon as he entered, Wentesi saw a great spectacle.

"Chirp! Scree!"

The Field of Merit golden eagle screeched furiously, wanting to swoop down and fight the human cultivator on the ground!

But it was no use, because it had been trapped by a [Bond Metal] trapping formation Law Technique cast by the human cultivator.

Golden threads covered its body, tightening the more it struggled and making escape difficult.

Nearby, the Crow Lord was likewise wrapped in the enormous [Bond Metal] Law Artifact, the Heaven-Ensnaring Net. He too struggled desperately, but to no avail.

After all, the Crow Lord cultivated the [Wind Qi] Dao lineage, and his strength was limited.

"Haha, my luck is really good today! I caught two [Wind Qi] bird demons in a row, one at Embryonic Breathing perfection and one at the fourth layer of Embryonic Breathing!

"Three years without a sale, then one sale feeds me for three years!

"If I sell you to the Maple Household in Myriad Spirits City, I imagine I can get plenty of spiritual resources.

"They cultivate [Wind Qi] too. Eating Demon Beasts of the same Dao lineage as nourishment can improve their cultivation, hahahaha."

The long-bearded old man below laughed triumphantly and could not help shaking his head, then grew happy again.

Oh, the Crow Lord and Field of Merit have run into danger?

Let me see if I can log in and take control.

Wentesi immediately sent his consciousness along the Golden Land's connection and embedded it in Field of Merit, intending to log in and take control.
