Chapter 70
"I'm not sure if this method will work either." Shan Heyuan took out a Jade Slip from his Dantian Small World. "Didn't I have my own insights into the 'Spring Transformation Art'? The first move of the 'Spring Transformation Art,' 'Gentle Breeze,' is the resonance of Spiritual Power between the cultivator and the Spirit Plant— "
Shan Heyuan: "I'm wondering, can cultivators only cause resonance in Spirit Plant? Can cultivators also truly merge with Spirit Plant? Not just a fusion of consciousness, but a genuine fusion at the physical level. This Jade Slip records my insights about the fusion of humans and Spirit Plant."
From the very beginning of cultivating the "Spring Transformation Art," Shan Heyuan was very different from ordinary cultivators.
His innate abilities determined that he had a deeper interaction with Spirit Plant than other cultivators.
But Shen Duheng hadn't expected that this deep interaction could go this far, directly merging with the Spirit Plant and transforming him into a half-human, half- Spirit Plant?
Shan Heyuan looked at Shen Duheng and said, "If I cultivate again, I'm not sure if I can retain my Dantian Small World. But if I directly fuse it into Spirit Plant, I'm certain that my Dantian Small World will remain."
He doesn't want to follow the path of becoming an incarnation of a spirit tree; he wants to completely transform himself into a spirit tree.
Chapter 70
Shen Duheng was not quite clear about the Cultivation Method Shan Heyuan had mentioned, nor was he sure how to use it.
In fact, Shan Heyuan himself was also quite confused. He only had a vague idea, but he had never tried to figure out how to do it.
Upon hearing Shen Duheng's question, Shan Heyuan replied, "I'm not quite sure either. I just feel like I'm on the verge of success, but I lack inspiration."
The life force and Death Qi within the Dantian Small World were both very dense, evenly divided, subtly vying for dominance.
Immediately afterwards, the Dantian Small World came to a standstill.
It neither generates new Spiritual Power nor can it absorb new Death Qi.
Everything was lying there, as if it were indigestion, making Shan Heyuan feel quite uncomfortable.
Shen Duheng said, "Perhaps something new is needed to break this balance."
Shan Heyuan: "Maybe, but I have no other choice."
Even if Shan Heyuan obtained the last five moves of the "Spring Transformation Art," this Cultivation Method could only be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm.
He has already reached the Nascent Soul stage and has regained his previous memories. His understanding of Cultivation Method and the Dao is becoming increasingly profound. He now deeply understands that everyone's physique is unique, and following other people's Cultivation Method and paths will only lead to a narrower and narrower path.
However, no matter what, creating a new Cultivation Method is an extremely difficult task.
Before he died, he studied miscellaneous subjects, which had little to do with planting. He did not create his own Cultivation Method, but rather lived a chaotic life, knowing a little bit of everything.
Shan Heyuan felt utterly helpless. "Now I truly understand what a bottleneck period is like."
Shen Duheng: "In that case, would you like to go for a walk?"
Shan Heyuan: "If we go out now and run into Ji Li, won't that be troublesome?"
Shen Duheng didn't care. "I've stabilized my cultivation, and Ji Li was seriously injured during her Tribulation Transcendence. She shouldn't have the ability to cause us any trouble."
Shan Heyuan: "Let me think about it. I don't know whether I should go out for a walk or stay here in seclusion?"
Shen Duheng: "Why don't you try seclusion first, and then we can go out if you don't find any inspiration?"
Shan Heyuan finally agreed to try the seclusion plan.
He had nowhere else to go into seclusion, so he simply shut down his small world and stayed in his Dantian to meditate alone, which he considered a form of seclusion.
Shan Heyuan was about to sink his consciousness into his Dantian Small World, but he was worried about Shen Duheng: "How about we agree on a secret code? If anything happens, we'll send each other a signal. Either you come to my Dantian Small World to find me, or I'll go out. Otherwise, I'll keep worrying about you, and I won't be able to concentrate on my seclusion."
Shen Duheng met his worried eyes and gently touched his forehead. "Okay."
After agreeing on a secret code, Shan Heyuan gave Shen Duheng some of the resources in his Dantian Small World, then immersed his consciousness into the Dantian Small World and began a closed-door cultivation.
It took Shan Heyuan less than ten years to cultivate from a mortal to the Nascent Soul.
During his cultivation, he was always in a great hurry, running at a speed that was almost unimaginable to others.
Under such pressure, his training was actually somewhat rough; he did well in the big picture, but didn't pay much attention to the small details.
Now that he has gone into seclusion, and having no other inspiration, he began practicing the first move of the "Spring Transformation Art," "Gentle Breeze."
He wanted to recall every feeling he had when he first started practicing, in order to find his original aspiration.
I wonder if every cultivator, upon reaching the later stages of cultivation, will transform the Cultivation Method have learned into their own.
This was indeed the case with most of the cultivators that Shan Heyuan encountered.
At the beginning, everyone cultivates the same Cultivation Method. Later, that Cultivation Method will be cultivated to be more and more suitable for the cultivator himself.
Shan Heyuan himself was like this, and so was Shen Duheng.
Shen Duheng's "Questioning the Sword" technique was imbued with his strong personal style, so much so that Shan Heyuan was not moved at all when he first saw his sword moves.
Shan Heyuan wanted to practice both the original version of the Cultivation Method and his own Cultivation Method again, and also to reorganize what he had learned over the years.
It was only then that he remembered his notebook.
He hadn't gained any inspiration from reading his notes before.
Looking back now, there were actually quite a few insights in the notes, but they were all just fragments. He hadn't recovered his previous memories, and he couldn't connect those short sentences to his understanding before.
Looking back at his insights from so long ago, they are almost identical to those of others. Upon closer examination, they are quite profound and he has benefited greatly from them.
There is Spiritual Power in his Dantian Small World, and he is currently only in the nascent Nascent Soul stage, so he does not need to eat or engage in other physiological activities.
He sat Illusionless Tree, carefully contemplating everything that had happened since he embarked on the path of cultivation.
During this process of enlightenment, his state gradually changed, becoming consistent with the aura of his entire Dantian Small World, and he simultaneously possessed both life force and Death Qi.
The Dantian Small World is actually an inanimate object, not a living entity.
Once its vitality and Death Qi reach saturation, they cease to change significantly.
Shan Heyuan was different. Even though he only had his Nascent Soul left, he was still alive, and his whole being was changing every moment.
When his energy becomes one with that of his Dantian Small World, he becomes his Dantian Small World.
The changes in his body were also changes in his Dantian Small World.
His breathing, heartbeat, and other physiological activities caused subtle changes in his Dantian Small World, which had previously been stagnant, and began to change slowly in response to his Dantian Small World.
Shan Heyuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
The sun, formed from the Pu Core Fire, slowly grew larger and flatter, like a cloud stretching across the sky.
On the ground, the once-dormant spring water began to rise and flood more land.
The spiritual soil, imbued with the essence of Breathing Earth, gradually gathered in the center, enveloping the Illusionless Tree and forming a small, isolated island.
The Illusionless Tree behind him emitted astonishing wood Spiritual Power.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth --
Still missing the gold element.
Shan Heyuan understood immediately; he was just a hair's breadth away.
Where else can we find gold elements?
There are definitely not enough Top-Grade Spirit Stone.
He had tried it before.
As for where to look, he actually had the answer in his heart.
He had tried it before.
Shan Heyuan sent Shen Duheng a coded message: "Come quickly, I need your help."
Shen Duheng rushed to the Dantian Small World immediately. Looking at the Dantian Small World that had undergone tremendous changes, he earnestly asked Shan Heyuan, "What can I do?"
Shan Heyuan opened his arms wide. "I need a large amount of gold."
Shen Duheng pursed his lips, put the spirit sword aside, and hugged him. "Okay."
