Chapter 474: Chapter 422: Refining Spirit Skill, Has the Ancient Powerhouse Fallen?

Translator: 549690339

It was widely known that Pei Xuanjing, the world’s number one cultivator, had a fondness for perusing Cultivation Method Manuals. Hence, he catered to Pei’s interest by presenting a god refining skill that could be cultivated up to the sixth level of the Spirit Realm.

This method was something he stumbled upon unintentionally. Although it was among the top-tier for god refining skills, it only covered the initial levels, and was sufficient to cultivate up to the sixth level of the Spirit Realm.

After all, in the Sky Wasteland, only those who truly stepped into the seventh level of the Spirit Realm were considered strong. Therefore, to Mr. Wu, even a god refining skill of the sixth level of the Spirit Realm was valuable but not precious.

If it had been a skill that could be cultivated to the seventh level of the Spirit Realm, he wouldn’t have given it up easily.

Nevertheless, when Pei Xuanjing heard that this skill could be cultivated to the sixth level of the Spirit Realm, he was genuinely impressed.

The Daming world held countless cultivation methods, most of which were for refining Qi and essence; god refining skills were extremely rare, so rare that even Pei had struggled to find them.

Given the circumstances, he can easily speculate about the skills of refining essence and Qi by referencing the methods in the Daming world, but god refining is not so straightforward.

Even though he had deduced some methods for gathering a divine soul before the Spirit Realm based on his experience, he didn’t have many ways to accelerate cultivation after the Yin Spirit molted. Everything depended entirely on the slow grind of time for improvement.

As such, at present, the Dao of Qi refinement had reached the fourth level of the Spirit Realm, while the refining foundation was at the sixth level. However, the god refining skill of his Yin Spirit equivalent to the second layer of the Spirit Realm.

Therefore, he was always eager to improve his god refining skill, particularly after Pei Xuanjing had glimpsed the way to the Golden Core Dao in his battles with the Howling Moon Gray Wolf. It had become even more urgent to enhance the strength of his Yin Spirit.

After all, in his calculations, even if he used his incarnation to condense the golden core, it still required a balance of essence, Qi, and spirit for a truly successful fusion.

But the strength of his own incarnation, as well as the abilities of refining foundation and Dao of Qi Refining were at least at the third level of the Spirit Realm, it was impossible to lower it. Facing the refinement of the Spirit in the second layer, it stopped him from moving forward.

Therefore, when Mr. Wu presented this method, it solved his immediate problem, resolving his biggest predicament.

Moreover, refining such a method would undoubtedly yield substantial gains.

“However, being able to present such an object readily enough to prove that the background of this man is absolutely extraordinary,” Pei Xuanjing thought.

Even if he had never been to the Sky Wasteland, Pei Xuanjing had a rough understanding of the situation in the Sky Wasteland, thanks to the information from Xue Hanyi and his sister.

As far as he knew, without considering the secrets Mr. Wu had just mentioned, the two items brought out were of great value. They were absolutely precious and could incite countless people to compete for them if placed in the Sky Wasteland.

There must be some motive behind the gifts given.

The more valuable the things Mr. Wu presented, the greater the plot he had in mind.

But the great value of this jade booklet, coupled with the fairy gold, made Pei Xuanjing realize that it would be difficult for him to refuse this deal.

“Since you have made your intentions clear, I will naturally not refuse your goodwill,” Pei Xuanjing said, after a moment’s silence.

No matter what, increasing his own strength was the most critical; these two things alone would enhance his capabilities.

As long as he had absolute strength, no matter what plot the other party had, he could face it calmly.

If he were to be apprehensive, he would have no reason to plan so much. Instead, he could take his time cultivating and accumulating Taoyun for a life simulation in a safe place. Why bother to fret over it here?

Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s consent, a smile crept upon Mr. Wu’s face.

Their conversation lasted until midnight. Pei Xuanjing left with the two items, while Mr. Wu temporarily stayed at Shenxiao Mountain.

That evening, in a guest room at Shenxiao Sect, Mr. Wu sat in front of the window, gently stroking a small snake about three inches long.

The tiny snake was black with glossy scales that shimmered under the light. It coiled obediently on his hand, lightly flicking out its tongue.

“Time has passed by unnoticed. Indeed, nothing can wear you out like time does. Thousands of years have passed, and many have not much time left. Their ambitions can’t be suppressed any longer,” Mr. Wu thought, scoffing inside.

No agreement is ever eternally unchanging; the end result will always be torn apart.

In the past, the mighty ones who ventured to the Sky Wasteland maybe did so because they were long-lived, or they believed they could find other ways to achieve immortality aside from the Divine Dynasty’s plan, or they needed time to recover from injuries. For various reasons, they temporarily gave up on this method and endured peacefully for thousands of years.

But now, thousands of years have passed, and even the lives of many strong individuals are coming to an end. If they can’t become immortals, they will fall, their Dao will dissolve, and they will disappear in the world.

But are they willing to accept that fate?

No, they definitely will not!

Mr. Wu understood. Those who were strong enough to peep into the Immortal Realm from the Nine Realms of Spirit might have various flaws, but one thing was certain—they held absolute pride and confidence. They would never accept such a fate without putting up a fight.

In addition to the resurrection of the ancestral land, it undoubtedly verified some circulated rumors, which would make many more people take action.

“However, I guess you wouldn’t have thought that someone in the ancestral land has taken the final step!” A gleeful expression crossed his face. “When you return, you may see a powerful Great Ming Divine Dynasty. I wonder if you would still have the original resolution and be willing to pay a high price to destroy it?”

The timing of their choice couldn’t be better. Now the world has just been resurrected, which can support the establishment of the Divine Dynasty, but also, because the old forces haven’t returned, it’s hard to encounter someone who can truly stop them. They got the right moment, the right location, and the right people.

As long as the Divine Dynasty is successfully established, with the continued resurrection of the world, this Divine Dynasty can also slowly strengthen with the resurrection, buying time for them.
