Visualizing the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha, the golden finger changes!

Upon hearing the sound, Ji An looked in the direction from which it came and saw Black Old Ox, several meters long, slowly approaching. The ox's eyes were bright and curious as it carefully observed Ji An.

If you look closely, you can see a hint of shock in the old ox's eyes.

"Senior, may I ask where this is?" Ji An immediately asked.

Although he knew where he was, and even knew far more about the Ji An than the black ox, he still had to put on an act.

"Don't call me a senior, I'm just the spirit of a magical artifact." Black Ox shook his head. "This is the cave where the Immortal Juhua took in disciples."

"The Immortal Juhua?" Ji An asked, puzzled.

"Immortal Juhua is a Loose Immortal has not passed the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation. Although he is Loose Immortal, he has lived for millions of years. He has lived for so long that even comprehending all nine Daos would be of no use."

"The Immortal Juhua knew her days were numbered, so she wanted to take on a disciple, and thus spread the word—"

It had to be Divinefiend Body-Refining Path, at the very least Xiantian Lifeform, and at most Violet Palace Cultivator. Back then, many large tribes of the Great Xia Dynasty, especially those with some connections, would send their members to try and conquer that corridor.

Ji An nodded to indicate that he understood.

"There are two corridors. One is for Xiantian Lifeform to venture through, and the other is for Violet Palace Cultivator."

One by one, young people died, until finally a Violet Palace Cultivator, Lei Zhan, passed the three trials in the corridor. Lei Zhan became the fourth master of this immortal mansion.

"I just heard from a senior that I am the fifth one? Then who were the previous two?" Ji An asked.

"I don't know." The Black Old Ox shook its head. "Even my master, the Immortal Juhua, couldn't truly possess this immortal abode, so naturally I don't know either."

"Little one, this immortal abode has an extraordinary origin, and refining it is exceptionally difficult. You should know that the more powerful a magical artifact is, the harder it is to refine. This immortal abode is actually a cave-dwelling type of magical artifact—only those who have become Primordial Spirit Daoists can barely refine it and carry it with them."

"Even the Primordial Spirit Daoist has only barely refined it and cannot fully control the Immortal Abode. Some hidden places within the Immortal Abode are still inaccessible. Moreover, there were many hidden places that the Immortal Juhua could not enter back then."

"Little one, now you understand how extraordinary this immortal abode is, don't you?" the Black Old Ox said smugly.

"Senior, you may call me Ji An," Ji An said. "Now that I have passed the test, I wonder if I can allow another person to come in and undergo the test as well?"

"Huh?!" the Black Old Ox exclaimed in shock. "You want others to receive the inheritance too?! Do you know how precious this cave is?"

It had never seen anyone like this before, someone who actually wanted to share such an extraordinary opportunity with others.

"Ji An, you must know that although Immortal Juhua was only Loose Immortal, Loose Immortal still lived for millions of years before dying. As far as I know, Immortal Juhua who has lived that long! Why was Immortal Juhua so powerful, and why was she able to live for so long? It's because of this immortal abode!"

"So you still want to share this opportunity with others?"

"Senior, the other one is my twin brother," Ji An explained. "Sharing this opportunity with him isn't a big problem."

Of course, that's not the only reason. The most important reason is that the Star-Seizing Manor was originally Ji Ning's opportunity. Although he intercepted it in advance, it is still his younger brother in this life, so it's better to share it if possible.

Moreover, he believed in Ji Ning's character and talent, considering it an investment in advance. After all, despite his current high talent, he didn't really have the confidence to reach the ultimate supreme level.

Even becoming World Deity would satisfy Ji An.

As for what happens next?

Of course, he'll wait until his younger brother grows up so he can cling to his coattails. For now, let his younger brother cling to his coattails.

"Sigh, I've never seen such a little kid as you," the Black Old Ox shook his head. "Theoretically, it's possible, and such a request has never been made before."

"Alright, since you've made your decision, I won't try to persuade you anymore. This is the Communication Talisman," the Black Old Ox said. "Only its previous owners can obtain the Communication Talisman. You should put it away quickly. Once you become Violet Palace Cultivator, you can refine it. After you've refined it, come to the Immortal Mansion. Right now, you can't enter anywhere and won't get any benefits."

Ji An picked up the talisman.

The talisman was crudely made, with an ancient and complex character on it: "Right"! Just one character, but although Ji An had never learned this character before, he understood it immediately upon seeing it.

Ji An stored the Communication Talisman in the Mustard Stone. Fortunately, it wasn't too big, Ji An's Mustard Stone really didn't have any more space for larger items.

"Alright. You've received the token, and I've told you everything. You can leave now," said the Black Old Ox. "I'll send you off now, directly teleporting you to that Winged Serpent Lake island."

"Wait!" Ji An said immediately, "Besides this Communication Talisman, are there any other benefits?"

The Black Old Ox remained silent.

"You."

"Alas!" The Black Old Ox finally sighed. "The third and fourth masters are both dead, and have been dead for far too long. The Immortal Juhua did give Lei Zhan some treasures, but Lei Zhan died outside. Countless years have passed, and you can no longer obtain any of Lei Zhan's benefits. The Immortal Juhua did leave some magical treasures waiting in the Immortal Abode, but you cannot obtain them now."

"There must be some other benefits, right?" Ji An said.

The Black Old Ox blinked twice. "What else can I give you? You probably don't have the method of visualization, do you?"

Ji An nodded.

Because he lacked the visualization method, even though Ji An had already comprehended the Dao Domain of a Minor Dao path and the True Meaning of a Grand Dao, his soul had not yet reached the level of "Divine Sense."

"The method of visualization is a technique that can condense and strengthen the soul," the Black Old Ox said. "It's a technique only found in top-tier tribes. I only remember one visualization method, so I'll pass it on to you."

"Get the pen and ink," the Black Old Ox urged.

Ji An took out a writing brush, ink stick, and a large piece of fur, and even took the initiative to grind the ink on the side.

The Black Old Ox manipulated the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw directly on the smooth parchment. Soon, a compassionate Buddha appeared on the paper.

This Buddha statue has the sun and moon hanging high behind it, radiating endless light.

"How is it?" The Black Old Ox casually tossed the brush aside, proudly saying, "This is the Buddha's true form, the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha! 'Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha' is the visualization method used by the Immortal Juhua. I've been looking at that Buddha image every day, so naturally I've memorized it. Although the painting isn't as good as the original, as long as you constantly visualize this Buddha image—you'll definitely be able to refine your soul."

Ji An put it away, then continued, "Are there any other methods?"

"Little Ji An," the Black Old Ox thought for a moment, "I saw you rushing through the corridor before, and I noticed that the sword in your hand was only of average power. It seems you don't understand the 'Divinefiend Blood-Refinement Art'."

Ji An nodded.

Seeing him nod, the Black Old Ox said directly, "You know that those Xiantian Godfiend cannot Qi Refining, but they need suitable weapons, which is why this Divinefiend Blood-Refinement Art came about."

"Find a weapon and perform a complex blood-refining ritual. After blood refining, the weapon can absorb malevolent energy and other auras. The more enemies it kills, the stronger it becomes, and it can change size and weight at will. Such weapons are called 'Divine Weapons,' 'Demon Weapons,' or 'weapons of the killing path,'" said the Black Old Ox. "As the master's strength increases and powerful enemies are slain, the weapon's power grows daily. In the God and Demon Era, some Divine Weapon and Demon Weapons were even stronger than Immortal Rank magic treasures."

"Please teach me, senior," Ji An said, bowing.

"I'm telling you this so that you won't miss out," said the Black Old Ox. "The Blood Refining Ritual is quite complex, so listen carefully."

Next, the Black Old Ox recounted the detailed process of the blood refining ritual, occasionally drawing some patterns along the way, Ji An listened to and took notes on.

The Blood Refining Technique involves using the blood of gods and demons to forge weapons, making the blood-refined weapons ultimately usable only by the user and greatly increasing their power.

Ji An took out the wine jug he had taken from beside the corpse, then cut his finger and let the blood flow into it. It didn't take much, only about a thousand catties.

This is because Ji An is already Xiantian Godfiend. If it were Xiantian Lifeform who Qi Refining, it would have been unable to withstand so much blood loss long ago. Ji An calmed his mind and followed the guidance of the Black Old Ox completely.

"Whoosh!" Ji An poured out the container filled with his own divine and demonic blood. The blood gushed out, covering an area of more than eighty feet, and quickly outlined a huge, ferocious, disheveled head pattern.

The design is complete!

"Boom!" A dazzling pillar of blood-red light shot into the sky, turning the entire hall crimson.

The first step is to "invite the Ancestral Gods "!

"Descendants kneel and beseech the Ancestral Gods!" Ji An shouted loudly, completing the first step of the ceremony.

After a complicated and lengthy ritual lasting half a day, the crimson light finally transformed into a strange character—the character for "God and Demon Kill!"

"Buzz!"

With Ji An conjured the "Universe" longsword out of thin air, hovering before the crimson light. This sword was made of extraordinary material, and Ji An wielded it with great ease, so naturally, he used it for blood refinement, which was also the reason why Ji An chose it in the first place.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The enormous blood-red character for "kill" separated into three condensed phantom images, which then merged into the sword.

With each illusory figure merged into the sword, the Universe Sword emitted a clear, melodious hum, and the dark blue luster on its blade seemed to deepen further.

The word "kill" in mid-air faded rapidly as the phantom merged with it, eventually disappearing completely.

The surging blood and killing intent within the hall receded like the tide, returning to silence, leaving only a Universe Sword that seemed even sharper than before.

Blood Refinement Successful!

With a wave of his hand, Ji An took Universe in his hand. Without even needing to test it, Ji An could feel the sharpness of its blade.

"Your foundation in the Universe Sword is excellent; it might even be an Immortal Rank magic weapon," the Black Old Ox said. "Your current strength is comparable to that of a typical late-stage Violet Palace cultivator. Once you learn some divine abilities, fighting beyond your level will be a piece of cake."

Ji An nodded. Compared to Violet Palace Cultivator level, the only difference he lacked was his endurance.

If it weren't for the lack of good Qi Refining methods and Essence Liquid, Ji An could easily have become Wanxiang Adept.

"Alright, you can go now," said the Black Old Ox.

"Thank you for your help this time, senior." Ji An had already put away the animal hide from "Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha" long ago. This, along with the Blood Refinement Technique, was his main purpose for coming at this stage.

"Go," said the Black Old Ox.

Wow!

Ji An only felt a huge Bear Pi head appear and swallow him whole, and the surrounding Space-Time and time were completely distorted. This time was different from the last time he came in. This time, because Ji An had comprehended a bit of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, he could vaguely perceive the changes in space.

He quickly returned to the Winged Serpent's lair.

"Phew--" Ji An exhaled.

This trip to the Water Manor not only yielded Communication Talisman and the precious Visualization Method and the Divine Demon Blood Refining Technique, but also allowed him to successfully comprehend the "Thunderfire" Dao Domain and even grasp the True Meaning of the "Heaven and Earth Grand Dao" Dao. "The most urgent task is to cultivate the Visualization Method first." Ji An deeply understood the importance of a strong soul.

With a swift movement, he unleashed the Wind Shadow Step, imbued with the True Meaning of Heaven and Earth, and in a few flashes, he left the cave and arrived on the island's surface.

Ji An found a high place with a wide view and sat down cross-legged.

He took the scroll of "Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha" from the Mustard Stone and spread it out on his lap.

The Buddha in the painting is compassionate and dignified, with the sun and moon shining behind him, radiating a gentle yet grand artistic conception.

Ji An took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and focused his gaze intently on the Buddha image. Following the method described by the Black Old Ox, he attempted to sketch the image of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha, in his Sea of Consciousness.

Ji An concentrated his mind, and gradually, a blurry phantom of Buddha began to condense in his Sea of Consciousness.

With each solidification of the Buddha's illusory image, a greater sense of light and tranquility Sea of Consciousness, as if a gentle, nourishing power was calming his soul.

Even Ji An's soul, which was quite powerful due to his comprehension of the Qiankun Great Dao True Meaning and Earth and the Thunderfire Domain Stage, was slowly growing stronger.

"The visualization method is indeed wondrous—this 'Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha' is so powerful, I wonder—" Ji An to himself, then immersed himself in visualization.

Just as the illusory image of the Buddha was about to completely solidify—

Buzz!!

A sudden change has occurred!

The silver book "Universe," which had been dormant deep within the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver light.

The silver light instantly shattered the illusory Buddha image that was about to stabilize.

"What's going on?!" Ji An was startled.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, a blurry human figure began to appear. The outline grew clearer and more solid—

He wore Silver Battle Armor and held a Star Compass; his face was exactly the same as Ji An's when he grew up.

This was none other than the image of the Swallowed Star World, the image of the Qie Qiong.

"This... this is me?!" Ji An exclaimed in shock.

He never imagined that the ancient book "Universe" that had been dormant in his Sea of Consciousness would undergo such a change at this time.

He is now practicing visualization techniques, specifically visualizing himself.

"How could this be? Could it be that I am some kind of powerful being reincarnated?!"

Moreover, he is at least more powerful than the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha, otherwise why couldn't he Inner Contemplation of the Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha?

This method.

"It seems I can only visualize myself now?" Ji An. "Let me see whether 'I' am more powerful or this Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha is more powerful."
