Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Shi Yun did not make things difficult for Wei Fan, and there was no reason to make things difficult for Wei Fan. The matters in Jinzhou had already been reported by Li Jianchen and others after they returned, so there was no reason to use them to trouble Wei Fan.

Perhaps it was just an illusion, Shi Yun wrote a handwritten command for Wei Fan, and he quickly made his way to the Secret Archive with it.

It was the same as always, empty. Wei Fan walked in and found that the old man was still napping.

"Elder Jian, wake up..."

He had already learned from Li Jianchen and others that the old man’s surname was Jian. Everyone called him Elder Jian, but as for his name, even Li Jianchen and the others didn’t know.

However, according to Li Jianchen and the others, the earliest among them who became Town Territory Envoys had done so a hundred or two hundred years ago, and back then, Elder Jian was already guarding the Secret Archive here.

In one or two hundred years, Elder Jian seemed to have not changed at all. He was guessed to be a very formidable expert, likely spending his old age here while guarding the Secret Archive.

As for his cultivation, no one knew either.

If not for the fact that this was the Main Hall of the Eastern Domain Demon Hunter Organization, he would have thought the old man was just an ordinary person. He knocked on the table a few times to wake him up, with a confused expression on his face.

"Is it you, kid? What are you doing here again? Last time, when you returned the token to me, it meant you had already given up on comprehending the Earth Emperor’s Saint Slaying Technique. Don’t think about resuming your comprehension."

Sword Floating Life still remembered Wei Fan, and upon seeing Wei Fan disturbing his sleep, he started to blow his beard and glare.

You didn’t properly comprehend it last time, regretting it now, aren’t you?

Wei Fan was speechless. This old man clearly didn’t care about what was happening in the outside world, otherwise he would already know how much commotion he had stirred up recently in the Holy City and how he was even more sensational than the genius from Xuanyuan Peak.

"Senior, I’m not here for the last matter. I’ve recently completed a mission and I’m here to exchange for another cultivation technique."

He took out Shi Yun’s written command, and Sword Floating Life took it skeptically to find that it was indeed a command.

"Follow me!"

Confirming it was indeed a command from a Town Commander, Sword Floating Life turned and led the way, quickly reaching the floor where Martial Emperor Techniques were stored.

"Do you have a technique in mind, or should I recommend one to you?" He turned to look at Wei Fan.

Wei Fan cupped his hands and said, "Junior is seeking a body technique secret technique, I hope Elder Jian can guide me!"

From his recent battles, he realized his weakest point was his speed. His combat prowess was enough, but his speed lagged. After all, his Cyan Nether Travel was just a common Saint Realm technique.

Previously, he could barely use it, but as he began to encounter enemies who weren’t disciples of Martial Emperor Families or Dharma Demon Saints of the Demon Heaven Alliance, the ordinary Cyan Nether Travel was no longer sufficient.

Facing Crane Demons, who excelled in speed, he was even overwhelmed by their speed.

Upon hearing this, Sword Floating Life pondered slightly and smiled, "Do you want the ordinary or the strongest one? The ordinary is easy to enter, the strongest depends on talent."

Wei Fan replied calmly, "Naturally, the strongest!"

Upon hearing this, Sword Floating Life said nothing, took the lead, and moved forward, arriving soon at the front of a secret chamber.

Wei Fan looked up and saw the grand words "Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body" carved on the door of the secret chamber. They seemed like a Dapeng spreading its wings, or a Kunpeng soaring through the sky, carrying an aura of slaughter within.

Sword Floating Life pointed at the secret chamber and said, "The Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body, among all the body technique secret techniques on this floor, is considered the first. In the whole world, apart from those body techniques created by Emperor-level powerhouses, those that surpass it are less than ten in number, known as the fastest in the world."

Wei Fan was undoubtedly intrigued, knowing that the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body was unmatched among Martial Emperor level body technique secret techniques. Its status might not be as high as the Earth Emperor’s Saint Slaying Technique, but it was not far behind either.

Of course, the main point was that this was already the best body technique secret technique of the Eastern Domain Demon Hunter Organization, even if he wasn’t satisfied, there was no alternative.

At the same time, Sword Floating Life’s introduction to the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body was not yet complete. He continued, "Moreover, the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body is not merely a body technique secret technique. The True Body of the Kunpeng that it cultivates not only possesses incredible speed but also terrifying destructive power.

Its speed combined with destructive power, once mastered, can traverse the world with no constraints, any place can be reached..."

In his words, Sword Floating Life held high esteem for the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body. His eyes carried a nostalgic look, as if he had witnessed the invincible glory of this secret technique.

The True Body of the Kunpeng, from its name alone, seemed to be a tool of combat and slaughter. Wei Fan didn’t expect it to also be a martial technique with terrifying destructive power.

"This is the one!"

Wei Fan decided immediately, with no intention of choosing any other secret techniques, firmly deciding on the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body.

Sword Floating Life saw Wei Fan’s urgent and eager demeanor, revealing a faint smile and immediately planned to pour cold water on Wei Fan’s enthusiasm, "Don’t rush, kid, don’t blame me for not warning you...

The Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body was created by a peerless Martial Emperor of ancient times who achieved dual sanctification of both the physical body and the primordial spirit. If one does not possess dual sanctification of the physical body and primordial spirit, even if they forcibly cultivate it, they can only achieve the effect of ordinary Saint Realm techniques, unable to truly unleash the power of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body, let alone manifest the True Body of the Kunpeng.

For thousands of years, countless prodigies have come to see the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body, even Xuanyuan Peak has been here, but since they were not dual sanctified, they ultimately left, shaking their heads.

With malicious delight, he recounted the powerful aspects of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body, dissatisfied with Wei Fan for not listening to his advice last time, only to reveal at the end that Wei Fan was not qualified to cultivate it, as the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body requires dual sanctification of the physical body and primordial spirit.

Sword Floating Life looked at Wei Fan expectantly, wanting to see the young man in front of him frustrated and miserable.

Unexpectedly, Wei Fan’s expression did not change in the slightest; he even showed a more excited expression: "This technique is made for me, it’s the one!"

Aside from the Five Emperors Fist, it was the first time he encountered a dual sanctification technique; no matter what, he could not miss it.

This time it was Sword Floating Life’s turn to be bewildered, incredulously asking, "Kid, did you not hear what this old man said? Only those who are dual sanctified in body and spirit can truly cultivate the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body, otherwise even Xuanyuan Peak can only look on helplessly."

Wei Fan knew the old man had ill intentions, and his mischievous side arose too, clasping his hands, "I heard clearly, but I’m just as fortunate to be a martial artist with dual sanctification of the physical body and primordial spirit. I have long been struggling to find a technique to harness this ability."

Everyone in the world knows now that he is dual sanctified; only Elder Jian, who sleeps in the Hidden Merit Hall all day, ignorant of affairs outside the window, didn’t know he was dual sanctified. There’s nothing to hide, saying it might even make the old man recommend more powerful techniques in the future.

Concealing it would make this old man think he’s a braggart, and that’s not good.

Sword Floating Life was dumbfounded: "You say you are dual sanctified in body and spirit?"

Wei Fan was right; indeed, he believed Wei Fan was a bluffer pretending to be a genius. Mentioning the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Body was to see how Wei Fan would continue his act, not expecting to hear Wei Fan claim he was a monster with dual sanctification.

Wei Fan nodded, "Elder Jian, it would be better if you slept less in the Hidden Merit Hall and paid more attention to the outside world. Many people outside know about my dual sanctification."

Sword Floating Life’s mouth twitched; was the clown really him?

In an instant, he awoke like a prehistoric beast from slumber, his figure growing tall and imposing, his spine resembling a mountain.

His eyes were bright like bulbs, no longer murky but sharp as knives, his mere gaze causing Wei Fan’s skin to sting as if the old man’s eyes were piercing through his flesh, uncovering all his secrets.

"The Celestial Eye of Martial Arts!"

Wei Fan’s heart trembled; this old man either had unrivaled cultivation or possessed a divine ability akin to the Celestial Eye of Martial Arts.

With many secrets within him like the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations and the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell, he could not let them be seen, especially the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations; it must not be exposed.

These near-death old fellows might develop greed for such life-altering techniques; many have fought for the Human Race all their lives, never regretting a hundred battles, only in nearing death turning to Demonic Martial Arts out of desperation, too many heroes becoming demons at a thought’s change.

He had never told anyone the secret of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations, for such a divine skill could indeed arouse greed in anyone.

"Boom..."

His will power immediately welled up like a storm, protecting all secrets within his body, while his heart spirit connected with the Ten Thousand Spirits Bell to safeguard his body, preventing the old man from viewing his internal secrets.

"What technique is this? This old man can’t see through your body?"

Sword Floating Life was astonished, only to see a field of golden light.

"Elder, desiring to spy on my body is quite disrespectful!" Wei Fan’s hair was disheveled in frenzy.

"Haha... Apologies, I was just excited hearing you are dual sanctified!"

Sword Floating Life laughed heartily, the divine light fading from his eyes.

He never discovered Wei Fan’s dual sanctification previously as such behavior is impolite, akin to spying into others’ secrets, and could cause fights in Jianghu.

Of course, he also lost interest in many things long ago, considering himself an ordinary old man, all his martial arts methods self-sealed, otherwise, Wei Fan wouldn’t need to shout several times to wake him.

"Boom!"

The next moment, he formed a sword with his hand and slashed obliquely towards Wei Fan’s neck; unable to verify by his eyes, he decided to test physically.

Wei Fan’s hairs stood on end; though an ordinary arm, it felt like an indestructible divine sword to him, able to cleave through heaven and earth. Without hesitation, he too formed a blade with his hand and slashed towards Sword Floating Life’s arm.

"Bang!"

The two arms collided, and Wei Fan felt an overwhelming force surge through him; despite the trembling Dao patterns on his body, his arm was unresistingly forced back, making him involuntarily step back a few paces.

Sword Floating Life gasped: "Good lad, no wonder this old man slept with blurry eyes, not realizing twice that you are dual sanctified in body and spirit."
