Chapter 1774 One day to cultivate Qi, three days to establish foundation!
The quiet room was serene and shrouded in mist.
Cheng Buzheng's mind sank completely into his sea of consciousness, staring at the "Laws" section on the illusory panel.
When his gaze fell upon the clearly visible words "Rune Realm" behind "Law of Blood"...
An uncontrollable surge of ecstasy, like a warm current, coursed through my entire body.
Even his usually expressionless face couldn't help but break into a genuine smile.
The smile spread from the depths of his eyes, almost overflowing from them.
"The Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory... this 'gift' is truly beyond expectation!" he exclaimed inwardly.
"I thought that being able to glimpse the first realm of the Blood Law at its peak through this opportunity would be a stroke of incredible luck."
Unexpectedly, not only did he step into the Rune Realm in one fell swoop, but he also seemed to be only one step away from the mysterious third realm!
It seems I really did get a huge bargain before!
Otherwise, if one simply follows the established path of understanding, it's uncertain when such an achievement will be attained.
Amidst the elation, a thought crept into my mind like a vine.
His gaze shifted slightly, landing on the distant void.
It was as if one could penetrate the quiet room and see the Dharma body that was cultivating and floating in the forbidden sea.
"...I wonder if, in these final days, we can use the remaining pure essence of the laws to create a miracle and push the Law of Blood to that legendary third realm?"
however,
The thought had barely formed when Cheng Buzheng burst it himself, like a bubble.
He shook his head slightly, a self-deprecating smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. The eagerness in his eyes quickly cooled, replaced by absolute rationality.
"Impossible!" he resolutely denied in his heart.
"The path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, like ascending to heaven."
Reaching the Nascent Soul stage through Qi Refining may require relying on resources and opportunities for rapid advancement.
But after transforming into a deity...
Every step is related to the ultimate principles of the universe, especially the understanding of the laws, which requires painstaking effort and emphasizes the unity of sudden enlightenment and accumulation.
The third realm... what kind of realm is that?
How could it be achieved in a short time?
The understanding of laws is more about comprehending the "Tao," and it is the resonance between the soul and the rules of heaven and earth.
To pin one's hopes on breaking through the Law Realm in a short period of time is nothing short of wishful thinking.
The remaining 'blessings' of the Purgatory Clan's progenitor were definitely not enough.
"There is absolutely no possibility of it."
Cheng Buzheng reiterated this to himself, completely eliminating this unrealistic fantasy.
But his rational judgment did not lead to frustration; instead, it made him more clear-headed.
Having abandoned unrealistic and extravagant hopes, a more realistic goal naturally emerges:
"The third realm is far away, but we have a good chance of taking the Law of Blood a step further on the existing foundation, completely stabilizing it and reaching the perfection of the second realm."
Thinking of this, he calmed down a little.
"I'm about 50% sure."
He secretly made his assessment.
This confidence stems from the fact that the immense "blessing" left by the progenitor of the Purgatory Clan has not yet been exhausted.
This will be the greatest reliance for the Dharmakaya to reach the second stage of perfection.
Cheng Buzheng shifted his gaze from the "Law of Blood" and quickly scanned the "Cultivation Techniques" section.
The glaring word "incomplete" at the end of the "Chaotic Starry Sky Scripture" did not cause him the slightest hesitation or wavering.
He knew the root of the problem—
"It's all because of the lack of a core method for forging a precious body based on the laws of nature."
He was fully aware of this.
The current [Chaotic Starry Sky Scripture] only possesses the realm of Nascent Soul, but lacks the fundamental basis of Nascent Soul, and cannot unleash the true limit of the power of this realm.
"The previous two races' deities were merely imitations that had only scratched the surface. They appeared impressive, but in reality, their foundations were weak."
Compared to those cultivators of the same level in the upper realm who have forged true Law-based bodies…
Cheng Buzheng envisioned an egg crashing into a stubborn rock; the result was self-evident—a crushing defeat.
"Fortunately..." His thoughts turned to hope.
"The ancient Daoist text that records the incomplete method of the Law Treasure Body has been nearly half deciphered."
This is a slow but steady process; all it takes is time.
"Once the incomplete method is fully analyzed, and supplemented with sufficient pure source of laws..."
Cheng Buzheng's gaze involuntarily swept over the spiritual objects within the Qiankun Ring, which emitted various colored rays of law light.
"With the power of the small disc, it should not be difficult to deduce the method of forging a perfect law body that belongs to me alone."
He has great confidence in this.
Even if there is ultimately no other way to obtain the pure source of the law, we will spare no effort to use these precious spiritual objects of the law.
In fact, when he first began analyzing that text, he was already mentally prepared to consume some of the spiritual materials containing the laws.
Compared to forging a perfect foundation for the Dao and gaining true power to traverse the upper realms, these costs are bearable.
Thinking of this,
Cheng Buzheng felt increasingly at ease.
The progress of the laws was encouraging, and the path of the cultivation technique was clear, which gave him more confidence for the upcoming ascension.
Then, Cheng Buzheng shifted his attention from the "Cultivation Techniques" section and his gaze naturally fell on the "Supernatural Powers" section.
The panel displays several supernatural abilities, their names ancient and simple, yet imbued with inner radiance.
Each of these gates, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to cause a frenzy of competition among Nascent Soul cultivators.
however,
Cheng Buzheng merely glanced at it, his divine sense like a gentle breeze brushing across the water's surface, without lingering or causing the slightest ripple.
These supernatural powers were all deduced from the Creation Disc.
He had already thoroughly grasped its essence and cultivated it to the point of being able to move at will and operate at will.
When facing the enemy, one can move with ease, adapting to any situation without any hesitation.
The inspection at this moment is merely a routine confirmation.
Since everything is as usual, there is no need to spend any more time or effort on it.
His gaze finally settled on the last section, "Secret Techniques of Laws".
There, the Daoist inscription "[Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Method]" flowed slowly like a living thing, exuding an ancient rhythm that was different from ordinary supernatural powers and almost like the Dao itself.
This method seems to have a low entry barrier.
However, its core principles of "equivalent exchange and sacrifice of all things" point directly to the origin of the Great Dao, and its potential is unfathomable.
The upper limit is so high,
It is by no means inferior to any known top-tier laws or secret techniques.
That is why Cheng Buzheng solemnly categorized it here.
Gazing at this unique and powerful secret technique, Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but reveal an undisguised joy in his eyes.
"It's time to see how effective it is!"
Having made up his mind, Cheng Buzheng no longer hesitated.
With a slight thought, the illusory panel floating in his mind vanished like smoke in the wind, leaving no trace.
next moment.
Inside the quiet room, on the cloud bed, Cheng Buzheng suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.
In an instant, electricity surged in the empty room, and a flash of cold light seemed to disappear into the quiet space.
It was then quickly brought to the attention of his deep eyes.
"Now that the [Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Method] has been fully mastered..."
He muttered to himself, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable determination.
"Then I will personally test just how terrifyingly efficient this secret technique, which is said to be able to turn all things into resources, really is!"
However, Cheng Buzheng was by no means a reckless person.
While testing is one thing, the objects used for "sacrifice" must be carefully considered.
Using rare and precious spiritual objects related to the foundation of the Dao for this first attempt?
That's absolutely impossible.
Even though he is now very wealthy and possesses many spiritual artifacts of the laws, he is not yet so extravagant.
He clearly remembered the description of the side effects of this secret technique in the jade slip—huge losses!
During the sacrifice, the essence of the spirit will inevitably be lost in astonishing ways.
Using spiritual objects to test is like using top-grade spiritual stones as firecrackers – a complete waste of money.
Moreover, he already had a plan in mind:
One of each of the five elemental spirits—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—must be kept.
This is a crucial preparation for him to reshape his spiritual roots before his ascension!
This matter concerns his cultivation foundation and potential after ascending to the upper realm, and can be said to be the cornerstone of his future path. Cheng Buzheng has never dared to forget it for a moment.
If it weren't for the fact that the efficiency of the Five Elements Spiritual Root in absorbing and refining spiritual energy at his current level is indeed much inferior to that of the Three Elements Spiritual Root or even better spiritual roots, he would have already begun to reshape it.
However, before stepping into the ascension path, completing the reshaping of his spiritual roots was a plan he had already set out and could not change.
"So it seems..." Cheng Buzheng silently calculated in his mind.
"The total number of law-based spiritual objects in hand must first be reduced by these five essential ones."
In addition, a fire-attribute spiritual object should be reserved for his wife in case of unforeseen circumstances.
He naturally wanted to pave the way for his Daoist partner, Murong Wan's, path of cultivation.
"Furthermore, if any exceptionally talented individuals emerge from the Cheng family's later generations, we must leave them a seed of hope to glimpse the Nascent Soul stage."
As you calculate each and every one of these...
Cheng Buzheng suddenly realized that these magical artifacts, which he cherished as if they were his own lives, were not only devoid of any value,
On the contrary, it appears to be stretched thin and extremely scarce!
Each piece carries an important mission and should not be wasted easily.
"It seems that the test material will have to be found among those 'secondary' resources."
His gaze shifted, landing on the Qiankun thumb ring on his thumb, and he had already made up his mind.
At the same time, a barely perceptible glint of light flashed across the surface of the seemingly ancient Qiankun thumb ring on his thumb.
Like the undercurrents surging beneath a deep pool.
Then, with remarkable ease, he flipped his wrist.
The movements were fluid and devoid of any artificiality.
Followed by.
A strange mineral, about the size of a fist and radiating a soft, pale purple glow, appeared out of thin air in his warm palm.
Indeed, this is the [Purple Radiance Spirit Sand].
A rare and precious first-tier refining spiritual item, even in the world of cultivation.
It is often used to enhance the spirituality and durability of magical artifacts, and the spiritual power contained within is pure and stable.
Cheng Buzheng's mind raced...
Deep within his sea of consciousness, the profound rune that was integrated with the origin of his divine soul and represented the core of the [Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Method] suddenly lit up, emitting an indescribable ancient rhythm that seemed to originate from the primordial era.
This rhythm is silent and subtle, yet it stirs up some kind of unseen rule.
In that very instant,
The [Purple Radiance Spirit Sand] in his palm, harder than refined gold, touched that invisible, ancient rhythm the moment it did.
Like ice and snow under the warm sun, it melted silently into a pool of deep purple liquid.
Strangely, Cheng Buzheng did not feel any heat in his palm, only a slightly cool and damp sensation.
It was as if he were holding just a handful of ordinary purple spiritual spring water.
however,
The changes have only just begun.
The moment the [Purple Radiance Spirit Sand] completely turned into liquid,
The pool of purple liquid seemed to be frantically being devoured by some unknown force, rapidly "evaporating" and diminishing at a visible rate.
Like a shallow puddle of water under the scorching sun, it is shrouded in mist and shrinks dramatically in size.
But this is by no means a simple evaporation.
Just as the purple liquid was rapidly decreasing,
A torrent of pure, powerful, and virtually unrefined spiritual energy, like a river bursting its banks, surged into Cheng Buzheng's entire body.
And it was quickly absorbed and transformed by the Chaotic Starry Sky Scripture that was operating within his body.
It became part of his own first-stage Nascent Soul power.
at the same time,
On the illusory panel deep within his sea of consciousness, visible only to himself, the percentage representing his progress to the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm, displayed after the "Cultivation" section, began to jump rapidly:
79.71%.
79.72%.
79.73%.
The value climbed steadily and rapidly, finally settling at 79.80% before finally stopping.
On the surface, it only increased by 0.1 percentage points, which seems insignificant.
But Cheng Buzheng knew all too well that this was already a terrifying speed.
In the realm of Nascent Soul, every bit of increase in magical power requires a massive amount of spiritual energy to refine and purify it.
Its magical power is so strong, powerful, and pure that it is far beyond what is achieved by those at the Nascent Soul stage or below.
Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators might not achieve this level of progress after months of arduous cultivation.
This torrent of essence transformed from the [Purple Radiance Spirit Sand] can bring about such an improvement in an instant.
This clearly demonstrates the defying nature of the "Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Method".
Just as the panel values stopped changing...
The last drop of purple liquid in Cheng Buzheng's palm also disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.
The quiet room returned to silence. Cheng Buzheng closed his eyes slightly, carefully recalling and perceiving everything that had just happened, and already understood the situation.
"Based on the total essence of this [Purple Radiance Spirit Sand], only about 60% will ultimately be integrated into my magic power."
The loss rate is close to 40%!
His mind raced, and he quickly came to a conclusion.
"It's almost halfway done!"
The energy consumption of this [Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Ritual] is indeed astonishing!
A pang of heartache swept through me, but I felt mostly relieved.
"Fortunately, I was wise enough to use only these rare and precious objects for testing."
If one acts impulsively and tries to use a spiritual object imbued with the laws of nature, wouldn't that one action just now have resulted in the loss of a small portion of a treasure that could drive a Nascent Soul cultivator mad?
That would truly be something to regret.
While feeling regretful, he also gained a clearer understanding of the advantages of this secret technique.
"However, the refining efficiency of this secret technique is indeed terrifyingly high."
Normal meditation and cultivation, or alchemy and elixirs, are simply incomparable to this; they are worlds apart.
He seemed to see that, given enough resources, even a cultivator with five spiritual roots, considered "useless," could create miracles using this method:
"One day of Qi cultivation!"
Foundation building in three days!
Golden Elixir in One Month!
Nine-month-old Nascent Soul!
...At least before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the road ahead was smooth.
Even if they encounter a bottleneck, they can forcefully break through by relying on purer and higher-grade spiritual essence.
He even considered its application in magical duels:
"If encountering a powerful enemy, the spirit stones and spiritual items I carry can instantly be converted into combat power, and may even allow me to break through in the heat of battle..."
With enough resources, turning defeat into victory is not impossible.
