Chapter 688 - 635: Founding the Sect!
Bai Jiuyou was busy researching the Blood Jade Meat Mushroom and was also upset that Jiang Yuebai insisted she participate in the Dragon Group Gathering, so she refused to help Jiang Yuebai verify the Four Cultivation Technique.
Helpless, Jiang Yuebai had no choice but to find Lu Nanzhi. For safety, they both entered the Dream Realm, where Lu Nanzhi cultivated the Human Clan’s Carefree Travel and the Demon Clan’s Water Strike Three Thousand.
Jiang Yuebai verified the Demon Clan’s Beiming Fish and the Heavenly Witch Clan’s Observing Yin Yang Method.
In the dream, time flowed slowly, and with the efforts of two Dream Demons, the cultivation environment for Lu Nanzhi and Jiang Yuebai was especially favorable, leading to smooth cultivation.
After experimentation, Jiang Yuebai discovered that the Human Clan’s Carefree Travel was a cultivation technique that enhanced speed across all aspects, leaning towards the Wind Attribute.
One day the Roc rises with the wind, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles.
This technique cultivates the power of the Roc, allowing one to ride the wind freely, carefree between heaven and earth. It not only greatly enhances the speed of movement techniques but also transforms oneself into a swift wind, merging into the world unnoticed.
This gust can mobilize the Water Spirit Qi, which contains a certain amount of Life Qi, quickly restoring spiritual energy for oneself and those around, healing injuries.
Besides, this technique also cultivates a carefree and serene mindset.
Lu Nanzhi said after circulating Qi through one circulation, her mindset became more peaceful, exerting strong suppression and calming effects on the turbulent Demonic Qi inside her.
Compared to the peaceful and auxiliary nature of Carefree Travel, the Demon Clan’s Water Strike Three Thousand is aggressive and ruthless.
Draw Beiming’s waters, strike three thousand miles fiercely.
The real Beiming water is the Ruishui River by the Yellow Springs River, but Lu Nanzhi doesn’t have Ruishui, so she uses Xuanming True Water as a substitute.
When fully unleashed, Xuanming True Water spreads three thousand miles in sword tides, sweeping overwhelmingly with an impressive momentum.
Besides large-scale group attacks, it can converge the sword tide into the Heaven and Earth Sword for a deadly strike.
Of course, in the Dream Realm, Lu Nanzhi can rely on the Dream Demon’s power to showcase the moves to the extreme. In reality, the cultivation of Water Strike Three Thousand is not easy, requiring time and effort.
Initially being able to spread a ten-mile sword tide is considered remarkable.
Jiang Yuebai’s Demon Clan cultivation technique Beiming Fish corresponds to Carefree Travel; Carefree Travel cultivates the Wind power of Kunpeng transforming into a Roc, while Beiming Fish cultivates the Water power of Kunpeng transforming into a fish.
When activated, it gathers the Water Spirit Qi of heaven and earth into fish, competing currents, possessing the characteristic of water accommodating all things, absorbing opponent’s spell damage, and when the damage accumulates to the extreme, the fish transform into Kunpeng for counterattack.
Lu Nanzhi can incorporate Xuanming True Water’s power into Water Strike Three Thousand, and Jiang Yuebai can similarly integrate One Yuan Heavy Water into Beiming Fish, though she has yet to refine the Water Spirit within One Yuan Heavy Water.
Imagine if every fish had massive strength like Bai Jiuyou’s heavy hammer; wouldn’t each fish crashing down be enough to shatter mountains and turn people into pulp?
The last Observing Yin Yang Method, unsurprisingly, is a technique for enhancing Cultivation and Divine Soul through visualizing heaven and earth, cultivating Taiyin and Sun power.
In conventional understanding, the Sun is for Sun, and the Moon is for Taiyin. This technique visualizes the Sun and Moon.
However, Jiang Yuebai’s Sea of Consciousness is imprinted with Taiyin and Sun marks from Kunxi Divine Palace, enabling more efficient and effective visualization through this technique.
Thus, the Zhuge Family’s Refining God Method becomes merely an enhancement for her, no longer a necessity.
With a Chaos Body, Jiang Yuebai can cultivate all Four Cultivation Techniques.
While Lu Nanzhi can only cultivate Carefree Travel and Water Strike Three Thousand, Jiang Yuebai replicates both techniques for her.
Lu Nanzhi cultivates Water Strike Three Thousand to transform water into sword, while Jiang Yuebai remains unsure what to transform water into.
Turning it all into spirit stones to throw at people might be interesting; worth trying!
Throughout the journey from the Immortal Palace back to the Eight Immortals River, Jiang Yuebai and Lu Nanzhi spent most of the time in the Dream Realm carefully verifying the details of the cultivation techniques.
In between, she invited Xie Jingshan and Lu Nanzhi to her new Lotus Platform Small World to drink wine and enjoy the dusk.
Xie Jingshan observed that the houses he had supervised for Jiang Yuebai back then were all gone and gave Jiang Yuebai quite a lecture.
Jiang Yuebai accepted it gleefully, and finally flattered a bit, asking Xie Jingshan to find craftsmen for building some houses.
Xie Jingshan scolded while agreeing, and they started talking about each other’s childhood embarrassments, teasing and boasting, while Lu Nanzhi watched from the side with a gentle smile.
Everything seemed to return to those years at the Heavenly Interence Sect, with no more estrangement or awkwardness, open and honest with each other.
Returning to the Zhuge Family, Jiang Yuebai immediately went into seclusion, starting to impact the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul and refine the Taihe Umbrella.
Lu Nanzhi, after paying respects to the elders of the Heavenly Interence Sect, requested leave to return to the Shaking Light Realm to handle some miscellaneous matters.
Xie Jingshan stayed with Chu Guirui, helping Heavenly Interence Sect with various errands, both financially and physically.
Especially in the Zhuge Family, with everything being fresh to Chu Guirui, he caressed less on Xie Jingshan, asking questions, while Xie Jingshan noticed the Zhuge Family elders being particularly patient with such inquisitive children, accustomed even.
It’s indeed perplexing!
After this Dragon Group Gathering, due to Heavenly Interence Sect’s outstanding performance, it attracted attention from all sides, and Yuquan Sect’s resistance to merging diminished significantly.
Especially before Jiang Yuebai secluded herself, she asked Xie Jingshan to spread news at the Eight Immortals River, that she was going to cultivate at the Immortal Palace, and Immortal Monarch Chongmin to ease her worries, helped set up Mountain Protection Array for her sect, Heavenly Interence Sect.
This caused an uproar across the Nine Rivers Realm, and with Heavenly Interence Sect’s lineup of eight Divinity Transformations and two Refining Voids being public, even without changing Yuquan Sect’s plaque, many Loose Cultivators wanted to join.
Heavenly Star Sect couldn’t expand its reach and even proactively withdrew from Seven Stars River’s east shore territory, returning it to Yuquan Sect, which seemed somewhat conciliatory.
Xiong Family got furious, unwilling to stay subordinated forever, but with Heavenly Interence Sect connecting with Immortal Monarch Chongmin and having plenty High-Level Cultivators, they dared not act rashly despite having courage, choosing covertly plotting with Fang Family, accumulating power, waiting for an opportunity.
Time flew by, in just half a year, people of Heavenly Interence Sect officially moved into Yuquan Sect.
True Venerable Zhuliu wasn’t even willing to go through the formality of hosting a merger ceremony, merely met Heavenly Interence Sect’s two Refining Void Ancestors to receive necessary promises, then quietly left Nine Rivers Realm with Yuquan Sect’s original sect leader to pursue their path.
Not many cultivators chose to leave Yuquan Sect due to the merger; most were willing to stay, observing the place they had been in for long as it now held better prospects.
Also, this merger led to Yuquan Sect receiving even more new disciples instead of fewer, including many promising seedlings, heralding a rise.
On the day of plaque change, Yuquan Sect turned into Yuquan Peak within Yunping Mountain, Immortal Monarch Chongmin indeed appeared personally.
Immortal Monarch Chongmin stood high in the air, channeling Heaven and Earth Power to transform the mountains and rivers.
Drawing Seven Stars River water into Yunping Mountain, moving like a dragon, encircling the richest in resources and most spiritually abundant areas within.
With a wave, rivers rolled up, tens of millions of fish swam upstream, crossing rainbow over mountains, crashing into ethereal clouds, transforming into birds.
Flocks of birds celebrated, with one thought of Immortal Monarch Chongmin, the water curtain spanning thousands of miles over Yunping Mountain Range dispersed suddenly, becoming delicate rain nourishing the earth.
As winter passed and spring came, all life revived.
Heavenly Interence Sect finally settled in the Upper Realm!
