Three Mental Cultivation Methods
How exactly did Zhang Xuezhou cultivate himself?
"How could he possibly possess control over something he hasn't even reached the Eighth Sequence?"
"How exactly do you Scarlet Alliance State manipulate Gene Sequence?"
"He adjusted much faster this time; I wonder how long it will take him to get back?"
Zhang Xuezhou's figure flashed by in front of the distorted space.
Some trees were scattered on the ground, along with some leftover stones that had been moved there.
Apart from a handful of people like Ren Yisheng, many others have conducted tests in this distorted space to varying degrees.
No one needs to crawl inside; simply extending a long wooden stick forward is enough to sense the situation.
The rapid and chaotic force can tear everything apart. This is a force far stronger than the friction and burning of the atmosphere. Some people find it difficult to hold onto sticks and stones, and some even drop them. Others suffer broken bones from the sudden force, and some have their palms filled with broken stone and wood chips.
Zhang Xuezhou was able to pass through it by controlling the power, and Ren Anran could also manifest a body within her body to travel through it.
The former can carry physical objects in and out, while the latter can only communicate information.
If it were other conventional Sequence Holder, these people would probably find it hard to accept, but Badun and Nagos, with their extensive experience, did not become suspicious because of this. Moreover, the Scarlet Alliance State were very unified in their opinions and never showed any doubts. They even strongly defended Zhang Xuezhou, even Chimon Haig was no exception.
"Old Hagrid, you've been a spy for the Scarlet Alliance State for so long, you should know something, right?" Badun joked.
What do you want me to say?
Chimmon Haig glanced at Badun.
If it weren't for this old man's encouragement, he wouldn't have come here at all, much less have ended up almost burning to death.
Chimon Hagrid was well aware that Zhang Xuezhou and his group were up to something. He had noticed the problem with the Zhang Xuezhou divine magic they were using a long time ago and had been making close contact with them ever since.
He wasn't surprised that Zhang Xuezhou had such control over him, but he didn't know how Chimon Haig got it either, only having received a vague guess from the Twilight Years Mansion.
"Relying on Zhang Xuezhou is a bit too difficult, and even finding that mud figure isn't certain. Studying his ability to enter and exit might be worthwhile," Badun said. "I haven't reached the tenth sequence, so I can't know about higher levels, but I can tell you that you can only possess one Ninth Sequence domain, while you can develop multiple powers!"
"Oh?"
"If you can enter the Ninth Sequence, you can also learn Zhang Xuezhou's ability to control the power to enter and exit this place!"
What about me?
"As long as you meet the sequence criteria, you can do it too!"
When Badun was persuading Chimon Haig, Naggs couldn't help but interject with a question, which Badun also confirmed.
"If you put it that way, then I'm really starting to look forward to the Ninth Sequence!"
Nagos murmured softly.
Badun's experience of entering the Ninth Sequence is hard to replicate, but going through life and death always gives one more experience, and Badun shared his understanding of the Ninth Sequence, which saved them from many detours.
The path ahead is still unclear, but not so unclear as to lead to aimless wandering.
The choice is simple: wait for Zhang Xuezhou to enter the Ninth Sequence and convert his control into a domain, or take a gamble and gain control similar to Zhang Xuezhou's, thus qualifying to enter and leave this place.
The difficulty lies in learning how to acquire this control.
The Scarlet Alliance State didn't say anything, so the two had no choice but to ask Chimmon Hagrid.
"It's not that we can't talk about it, but their special cultivation needs... Speaking of the Scarlet Alliance State's predecessor, the Luofu Empire, Emperor Luo Zhong created a..."
Chimman Haig began to recount what he had heard at the Twilight Years Mansion.
The Mental Strengthening Chapter was used by the people of the Twilight Years Mansion to stabilize their minds, which enabled them to enter the Seventh Sequence more than ten years later.
Although many of the elderly have already entered the Seventh Sequence, their cultivation has not stopped, and they are even continuing to Mental Strengthening.
The reason why Li Qi, Qin Zhong, Bi Dazhi, and others did not interrupt was not because they were taciturn and did not want to speak, but because they were practicing in silence.
"Could Ren Yisheng's path be replicated?"
After Chimmon Haig finished recounting the lengthy story, Badun's eyes lit up slightly.
The development of sequences varies from person to person due to differences in physical attributes, making it difficult to achieve uniformity among all individuals.
This was something Badun had experimented with countless times, and no genius could keep up with him.
However, the spiritual power cultivated will become homogenized. As long as one cultivates according to the same method, the spiritual power cultivated by everyone will only differ in strength, and there will be no other differences.
Badun once spearheaded the promotion and development of spiritual power, and Arthur and others even had a dedicated research center.
Compared to Ren Yisheng's development, Montes Arthur was far inferior, and their Gene Fighting Technique also had different focuses in their development.
Referencing Ren Yisheng alone is of little value, but when compared with others, the direction Ren Yisheng guided is definitely worth considering, and he is willing to let everyone spend time and effort to promote it.
"You mean Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation of this Mental Strengthening Chapter is at a very high level, which is why he developed control ability ahead of schedule?" Nagos asked suspiciously.
"It's not just Zhang Xuezhou," Chimon Haig whispered.
"Is Ren Anran's ability also derived from Mental Strengthening?" Naggus asked in surprise.
"Nagords, you should also have this ability, otherwise it would be difficult for you to enter the Eighth Sequence," Badun said. "Think carefully about similar cultivation methods!"
"I have a cultivation method that imprints divine marks," Nagos said. "By simply refining it daily, I can continuously enhance my striking power against flames. I'm not sure if this is what you're guessing, but what kind of similar ability do you possess?"
Naggs stared at Badun.
As people are trapped in this space and try to survive using various methods, some of their hidden cards are gradually revealed.
It's not just Naggs and Zhang Xuezhou who have problems; Badun is also not clean.
Naggs kept a close eye on Badun, clearly trying to determine Badun's true background.
"What I possess is similar to yours; it's also about repeating the same thing over and over again," Badun said. "Perhaps it could be called the cultivation method!"
"Nurturing method?" Nagos asked in confusion.
"Nurture this staff of mine," Badun said, drawing the short staff from his back. "This weapon is the embodiment of my thoughts and beliefs. The longer I nurture it, the stronger its power becomes, and the control and domain it generates are inextricably linked to it!"
How can a stick cultivate spirit?
Nags found Badun's cultivation methods somewhat difficult to understand, only finding them strange and unusual.
"How can a stick not cultivate the spirit?" Badun said. "I know some sword-wielding monks whose lifelong beliefs are almost entirely tied to their swords. When the sword is drawn, blood is drawn; when the sword breaks, the man dies!"
"This is outrageous! To entrust one's life to an external object!"
Naggus found it difficult to understand.
If he were to learn Badun's methods, given how often he breaks one or two swords in a single battle, Naggus would have lost countless times due to broken swords and dead.
"Ren Anran, since you're here, at least show your face and exchange some pleasantries!"
Although we are all different, we should still continue to communicate.
Chimmon Hagrid revealed the Mental Strengthening Chapter, Nagoth described his branded divine marks, and Badun recounted his method of nurturing.
As the group continued exchanging words, Badun suddenly looked up and shouted.
Before the distorted space, Ren Anran's figure appeared and then floated in mid-air.
"Xuezhou and I just heard the news outside: the same incident that happened in the Tuer District of the Thousand Islands Alliance has also occurred in your Aomeijia Alliance!"
Ren Anran glanced down and then sent out a message that made Badun feel that the situation at home was getting increasingly out of control and the mess was beyond repair.
