Chapter 444 - 419: Taiyin Moonlight, Rapid Progress
"It’s over."
Su Ye walked out of the Lightning Tower.
Just as he expected.
After displaying the head of Yinshan, that Golden Core cultivator from the Candle Python Cave.
The entire room was in shock!
Mr. Yun was so terrified he was left speechless. He had no choice but to compromise, agreeing to let Su Ye take over all of the Chu Family’s assets.
On top of that, he also offered a huge amount of battle contribution points as a reward!
’This way, the consequences of killing Chu Wunian are completely nullified.’
’As for the Flame Alliance, there’s no way they’ll insist on making an enemy of me before this war is over.’
Su Ye understood the situation perfectly.
This journey had taken him across thousands of miles to Cloud Sea Immortal City, his imposing presence shaking the entire sea region.
It seemed insane, but in reality, it was an act of extreme calm and calculation!
’First, kill Chu Wunian, eliminating the aggrieved party and preventing any future trouble.’
’Second, use the Chu Family’s assets to win over Lin Yinxiu and Zhao Jiuhuang as allies, ensuring we advance and retreat as one.’
’And finally, use Yinshan’s head to show goodwill toward the Flame Alliance, signaling my intent to fight the Candle Python Cave... while simultaneously making a show of force!’
Su Ye chuckled softly, a flash of icy silver in his eyes.
He could already defy the heavens and slay a Golden Core cultivator while only in the Crystal Realm!
The deterrent effect of this feat was even greater than if he had killed Chu Wunian after reaching the Golden Core Realm himself!
’Perfect!’
Su Ye finished his review, mentally giving himself a thumbs-up.
He had eliminated the Chu Family and reconciled with the Flame Alliance, engaging in conflict without shattering their relationship.
Next.
His environment would be quite safe!
’Now I can focus on developing my strength in peace,’
Su Ye murmured to himself.
His next goal was to form his Golden Core.
After breaking through this major realm, the bottleneck that had long constrained him would disappear.
For a period of time afterward, he would be able to burn through resources and advance by leaps and bounds!
...
「One year later.」
Night fell.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse under the tranquil night sky.
The former Zijing Palace, now known as Yiyue Palace.
Su Ye had gladly taken this Chu Family estate for himself, changing its name and renovating it to erase all traces of its former owners.
After the renovations, Yiyue Palace shed its former golden splendor, adopting a more simple, elegant, mysterious, and tranquil style.
At this moment.
Inside Yiyue Palace.
Within a palace hall featuring a hemispherical dome, an oculus in the center allowed the celestial light to shine down.
A soft, cool torrent of moonlight streamed down from the oculus in the center of the dome.
An array gathered all the moonlight from an area of nearly a thousand li around Cloud Sea Immortal City, redirecting it here!
This stream of moonlight flowed down into a giant, hourglass-like apparatus!
This was the Moon Instrument!
It refined the moonlight, combining it with Spiritual Qi.
From this process, Moonlight—white as frost and fluid as water—was formed.
DRIP.
The Moonlight flowed, pooling in a jade basin.
Su Ye sat cross-legged, his Magical Power stirring as he drew the power of the Moonlight into his body.
As the power of the Moonlight entered him, Su Ye circulated his cultivation technique. At the same time, he focused his mind and visualized a scene: a bright, white moon hanging high in the sky, its light reflecting across a boundless ocean.
The Cultivation Technique, the scene from the Divine Intent, and the Moonlight were all perfectly in sync.
This caused the Magical Power within Su Ye’s body to gradually transform. Its azure hue faded, replaced by a pure silver color!
Finally.
Within his Dantian Qi Sea, the very last wisp of azure energy turned pure silver.
Su Ye opened his eyes, a look of delight on his face.
"It’s done!"
"The Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter!"
As mentioned before, after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, Su Ye needed to switch his primary Cultivation Technique.
The one he had chosen was a top-tier Cultivation Technique he had come across in the Flame Alliance’s repository back when he was a Guardian Envoy—one that was perfectly compatible with him.
—The Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter.
This Cultivation Technique was of an exceptionally high grade.
It could support a cultivator’s progress all the way to the peak of the Nascent Soul Perfection realm.
Furthermore, the Taiyin Magical Power condensed using the Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter was exceptionally pure!
By Su Ye’s own estimation, for an equal unit of magical power, the quality of his new Taiyin Magical Power was 1.2 times that of his original Taiqing Magical Power!
This was a very impressive figure.
It was important to remember that,
relying on the blessings of his status panel, Su Ye had cultivated the Cold Jade Dao Body.
among all the cultivators in history who had ever practiced the Taiqing Cold Jade Skill, he was strong enough to rank among the top five!
Even the Taiqing Magical Power derived from such incredible compatibility couldn’t compare to that of the Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter. This alone was enough to show just how high-grade the latter technique truly was!
At the same time,
the Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter was exceptionally complete.
This completeness wasn’t in reference to the content of the technique itself.
Rather, it meant that:
in addition to the Cultivation Technique itself, the accompanying Divine Intent was also in his possession!
As everyone knows,
cultivation after the Golden Core Realm inevitably involves the concept of ’Laws’, not just the simple accumulation of Magical Power!
And the Divine Intent is prepared for precisely this purpose.
A high-level cultivator imprints their divine will, sealing a portion of their comprehension of a ’Law’ within the Divine Intent.
This allows future generations to observe it, comprehend its true meaning, and thereby accelerate their own understanding of that ’Law’!
Of course,
the medium used to seal a Divine Intent is naturally no ordinary jade slip or rice paper.
Instead, it must be inscribed upon the hide of a specific fifth-tier Demon Emperor, personally crafted by a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
They are incredibly difficult to create and are priceless treasures that are rarely for sale!
Therefore, the most important part of any high-level Cultivation Technique is its Divine Intent!
The Divine Intent for the Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter was called the Bright Moon Reflecting Sea Map.
Behold the bright moon hanging in the sky, its light reflecting upon a boundless ocean!
Through his own testing, Su Ye confirmed that it had an accelerating effect on his comprehension of the ’Law’ of Annihilation Flow!
’A pity,’
’there isn’t a Divine Intent that can simultaneously accelerate my comprehension of the Laws of ’Annihilation Flow’ and ’Creation and Destruction’.’
Su Ye thought to himself, a little greedily.
However,
Su Ye knew he was getting ahead of himself.
Finding a top-tier Cultivation Technique like the Taiyin Moonlight Profound Chapter, whose accompanying Divine Intent happened to align perfectly with his ’Law’, was already incredibly fortunate!
After all,
some Golden Core cultivators could never find a compatible Cultivation Technique for the ’Law’ derived from their own Divine Techniques!
Others practiced techniques whose Divine Intents were unfortunately damaged or lost, forcing them to rely solely on their own efforts to gain enlightenment.
—Shenxiao was a prime example of the latter.
The legacy she had inherited contained only the Cultivation Technique, with no Divine Intent.
