Chapter 222: The Secret of the Thousand Rivers Returning to the Sea [4K]
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and finally put all thoughts aside.
He seemed to sense something, and with a flick of his sleeve he drew a ray of spiritual light outside his spiritual eyes, and found that it was a thick account book.
He opened it and took a look, and found that it was a statistics of various results of the battle.
In this battle, the Ye family can be said to have won a great victory, killing dozens of foundation-building cultivators from the Canghai Sect and severely injuring two early-stage Jindan cultivators, Xueyu Baihe and Minghu Taoist.
Cangyuejun and Li Xuangeng, two middle-stage Jindan masters, one died and the other was injured. This was the heaviest blow to Canghai Sect in its history.
After the victory, Ye seized a lot of spoils.
Among them, more than fifty second-level treasure ships were seized, which can be said to be the warships of half of the sea area seized in one battle.
Countless magical instruments of various kinds were obtained, including more than a hundred spiritual instruments, as well as second-level puppets, talismans, and elixirs, with a value of more than one million spirit stones.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy to keep the treasure ships and puppets above the fake dan level.
Ye Linyuan was seriously injured at that time and did not dare to let the Ye family chase too far, so he only left behind a fake pill puppet.
The most valuable of these treasures is the treasure left behind by Cangyue Jun.
They are a third-grade medium-quality Cangyue shell, a third-grade medium-quality Cangyue demon king's inner elixir, and two third-grade magic weapons.
Among these treasures, the shell of Cangyuebei is of extraordinary value. It can be used to make elixirs and medicine, and can also be used to refine magic weapons.
However, under the thunder tribulation, the shell was badly damaged. Ye Linyuan could only prepare to grind it into powder and use it to cultivate an acre of spiritual field containing moon-attributed spiritual energy in the future.
Needless to say, Ye Linyuan was going to give the demon king's inner elixir to Cang Yue Bei to absorb the inner essence. He believed that after absorbing the demon king's inner elixir, Cang Yue Bei would not have any bottlenecks before breaking through the middle stage of the golden elixir.
The remaining two magic weapons are the third-order low-grade magic weapon 'Cang Yue Pearl', and the third-order medium-grade magic weapon Cang Yue Wheel.
Among the two treasures, the Cangyue Wheel is Cangyue Jun’s natal magic weapon, and the Cangyue Pearl is Cangyue Jun’s protective treasure.
The Cangyue Pearl is only a low-grade magic weapon. If it was a mid-grade magic weapon, Lord Cangyue might still have a chance of survival.
After Ye Linyuan counted the treasures, he summoned Cangyue Bei into the cave.
Then he handed the Cang Yue Pearl, Cang Yue Wheel, and Inner Core to Cang Yue Bei, and then said with a smile: "With this Cang Yue Pearl, it shouldn't be a problem for you to survive the Golden Core Tribulation, right?"
"With this thing protecting me, I have a good chance of surviving the thunder tribulation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan nodded.
As a descendant of the true spirit, Cangyue Bei’s cultivation has reached the great perfection of foundation building and he could have reached the golden elixir realm long ago.
The reason why there was no breakthrough was because Cangyuebei was relatively weak among the same level, and it was extremely difficult for him to survive the thunder tribulation without a protective magic weapon.
Now that he has this protective magic weapon, the Cangyue Pearl, and the powerful healing ability of the Cangyue Shell, there should be no surprises in surviving the Jindan Thunder Tribulation.
In addition to these three treasures, Ye Linyuan also wanted to give Cangyue Jun's flesh and blood to Cangyue Bei, but was rejected by Cangyue Bei.
For Cangyuebei, absorbing the Dao essence of its own people is one thing, but devouring the flesh and blood of its own people is ultimately against the Dao heart.
Ye Linyuan did not force it and had to keep the flesh and blood for his own cultivation.
If he wants to continue to improve his third-level combat body, he also needs a large amount of body refining resources. The blood and flesh pill refined from the flesh and blood of the demon king in the middle stage of the golden elixir is extremely precious and rare.
Getting back to the topic, after bestowing Cangyuebei with all kinds of treasures, Ye Linyuan continued to retreat and heal his wounds.
While in seclusion and healing, Ye Linyuan also began to study the secret method of Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong after entering the Golden Core Realm.
After the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong entered the Jin Dan realm, two new core magical powers were derived again.
The first core magical power is a top-level minor magical power that is the combination of the four major magical powers - the rising moon over the sea. This magical power is the highest mystery of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong, and its potential can reach the level of major magical powers or even pure yang magical powers.
In comparison, most of the spells and pseudo-supernatural powers that Ye Linyuan practiced had potential that stopped at the level of minor supernatural powers, and very few were able to break through to the level of major supernatural powers.
For example, the four core spells of spiritual plant magic have basic potential that only limit themselves to the realm of minor magical powers.
However, the four core spells of spiritual plant magic are highly malleable, and can create advanced magical powers on this basis.
For example, the [Zhetian Yangling Technique] obtained by Ye Linyuan and the [Qi Yao Yangling Technique] of the ancient divine Ao lineage are essentially advanced magical powers of the Yangling Technique.
If Ye Linyuan can innovate and cultivate these magical powers to an unprecedented level, such as creating various advanced spells, it is possible for them to transform into great magical powers or even pure yang magical powers.
However, innovation requires extremely high talent, the right time, the right place, the right people, and that crucial flash of inspiration.
Even though Ye Linyuan boasted of his extraordinary talent, he did not dare to guarantee that he could create an advanced magical power comparable to the two major spirit-raising techniques.
For him, the right choice is to focus on the core Wanhua Sword Art and Wanhua Xiaoyaoyou, and then deduce these various secret techniques in his spare time.
Ye Linyuan was very clear that his Wanhua Sword Technique had a very lofty purpose. This technique was all-encompassing and had a myriad of mysterious changes. The more magical powers and spells he practiced, the more amazing it would become.
Only by nurturing hundreds of classics in the furnace and practicing all kinds of methods to cultivate a sword that can change in a thousand ways can the Wanhua Sword Art break through to an unprecedented level.
Moreover, Ye Linyuan had a feeling that with the continuous improvement of the Wanhua Sword Art, he would be practicing more and more spells.
By then, with the mutual verification of various spells, your understanding of various spells and magical powers will become more and more handy.
One day, when the Wanhua Sword Art has been cultivated to a certain supreme level, perhaps all magic spells in the world will be at your fingertips.
“Use all dharmas as a furnace to cultivate one dharma. When this dharma reaches the highest level, all dharmas will become clear once you understand one dharma.”
"My energy is limited. From now on, apart from the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong and Wan Hua Jian Jue, I can only focus on a few cultivation arts such as spiritual plants and Tian Ji. This way, I can have more time to practice other methods."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, then looked at the last magical power.
After the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong reaches the Jin Dan realm, the second magical power that can be cultivated is very special. This is a special magical power to assist in cultivation, and its name is - Wan Chu Gui Hai Jue.
This method has no combat power, its only effect is to greatly increase the speed of cultivation.
After practicing Wanchuan Guihai Jue, one can make oneself like the vast ocean, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in the ocean, which greatly makes up for the insufficient practice speed of Canghai Mingyue Gong.
According to Ye Linyuan's understanding, if the Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea Technique is cultivated to the initial stage, the cultivation speed can be increased by 50%.
Stepping into the realm of Hinayana can increase the speed of cultivation by a full double, and if you step into the realm of Mahayana, the speed of cultivation can be increased by three times.
Once you step into the realm of quasi-great magical powers, or the state of perfection, the speed of practicing the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong can be increased tenfold.
After Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong reached the Golden Elixir stage, the amount of mana that could be stored became even more terrifying. In the early stage of the Golden Elixir, the mana was ten times, in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, the mana was twenty times, and in the late stage of the Golden Elixir, the mana was thirty times.
But as long as one can practice the Wanchuan Guihai Jue to Mahayana, then the time required to practice to the great perfection of the golden elixir can be shortened to one third of the original time.
Although this still requires several times or even nearly ten times the time of an ordinary person, it has already solved a large number of cultivation difficulties.
In ancient times, with a large amount of cultivation resources, it would be no problem for a practitioner of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong at the Golden Elixir Realm to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir Realm in his lifetime, as long as his talent was not too bad.
However, in today's era, it is still far from enough to cultivate to the great perfection of the Golden Elixir at this speed.
According to Ye Linyuan's understanding, in this era, there are generally only two ways to practice Cang Hai Ming Yue to reach the great perfection of the golden elixir.
The first way is to take the path of swallowing. Every time you swallow a fellow practitioner at the Golden Core realm, you can save dozens or even hundreds of years of cultivation time.
The second way is to rely on one's own understanding and practice the "Wanchuan Guihai Jue" to perfection, which is the realm of quasi-great supernatural powers.
Once you step into this field, with the blessing of ten times the cultivation speed, and with the help of elixirs and some treasures to assist in cultivation, it will be no problem to break through to the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir in your lifetime.
Ye Linyuan hated the path of swallowing, so he wanted to take the second path in this life.
"The Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong is a path of accumulation and gradual development. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the power."
"In the Qi training and foundation building stages, a combat power of the same level may not be able to defeat a low-level technique, but when it reaches the Golden Core stage, it is enough to rival a superior technique."
“Once you step into the Nascent Soul realm, with the blessing of a hundred times the magic power, you will have the most advanced Nascent Soul technique, even comparable to Yuanshen Daojun’s heavenly technique. There are few rivals at the same level.”
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and then began to practice the Art of All Rivers Returning to the Sea.
Over the years, Ye Linyuan has been studying the Art of All Rivers Returning to the Sea for many years and has gained a deep understanding of this method.
At this time, as he continued to practice, lines of magical powers and Taoist auras slowly condensed and took shape, and he stepped into the realm of initial glimpse at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
If an ordinary person reaches this step, he will need the help of rare objects containing the essence of Tao to assist in cultivation.
However, Ye Linyuan was extremely talented. He did not stop after reaching the initial stage of cultivation. He continued to practice without the help of external objects and soon entered the realm of Hinayana.
"Hinayana magical power - All rivers return to the sea."
Only at this moment did Ye Linyuan take a deep breath slowly, and then began to inhale and exhale the vast spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
In an instant, endless spiritual energy flew into Ye Linyuan's body. His cultivation speed increased almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a ray of magic power was transformed in the blink of an eye.
It was not until a long time later that Ye Linyuan slowly opened his eyes and then smiled.
"As expected, the auxiliary training effects of the Cang Hai Ming Yue Gong and Shui Ling Zhu can be perfectly superimposed."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
He had originally refined a rare water spirit bead, and his basic cultivation speed increased by about three times.
Now that he has mastered the Art of All Rivers Returning to the Sea, his cultivation speed has doubled again, and this double speed is actually multiplied by the cultivation speed of the rare Water Spirit Pearl.
Because the Wanchuan Guihai Jue increases the speed at which he absorbs and exhales spiritual energy, while the rare water spirit beads increase the speed at which he refines spiritual energy.
Combining the two, Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed actually increased six times.
"Six times the basic training speed."
Ye Linyuan pondered in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
In this day and age, an ordinary Jindan cultivator, without taking any elixirs, can accumulate a magic power in about three years by practicing by absorbing and exhaling vital energy on his own.
The thirty-six mana in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, even if the few at the time of breakthrough are deducted, it would take a hundred and eight years to cultivate to perfection in the early stage of the Golden Elixir based on the thirty mana.
This is not too long for a Jindan cultivator, but it is only an ideal state.
Most of the cultivators at the Jindan level practice superior techniques, and the thickness of their mana is definitely not up to the standard of cultivators without techniques. Even for cultivators practicing the Gold and Fire Technique, the thickness of their mana is 20% to 30% of the original.
In other words, theoretically, it would take at least one hundred and thirty to forty years, and the water method would even take three to four hundred years, to reach the perfection of the initial stage of the golden elixir.
Of course, elixirs can also make up for the speed of cultivation, but the main ingredient of the third-level elixir, the Fortune Fruit, is too precious, and ordinary golden elixirs are simply not capable of being taken for a long time.
They can only improve their cultivation by using upper-middle-grade Xuanyuan Pills at the foundation-building level, which can only increase their cultivation speed by 10% or 20%. This bonus cannot be said to be better than nothing, but it is just a drop in the bucket.
In addition, some Jindan cultivators do not have enough dan patterns, and it takes a lot of time to make up for the dan patterns.
Therefore, many Jindan cultivators can only reach perfection in the initial stage of Jindan in their lifetime, or even stop at the second stage of Jindan.
Ye Linyuan cultivated the Nine-Patterned Golden Elixir. Before the Golden Elixir reached Great Perfection, there was no bottleneck in his cultivation. The only difficulty he encountered was his insufficient cultivation speed.
This increases the basic cultivation speed by six times, and Ye Linyuan can cultivate two magical powers every year.
Even if his magic power is ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person, he needs to cultivate 360 magic powers in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, and it will only take 180 years to cultivate it to perfection in the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
"One hundred and eighty years is still too long."
"If you can cultivate the Ten Thousand Rivers Returning to the Sea Technique to perfection, you can increase your cultivation speed by twelve times, and you can reach the perfection of the early stage of the Golden Core within ninety years."
"In addition, a small amount of Good Fortune Fruit has begun to mature. If you take it, it can also increase your cultivation time."
Ye Linyuan kept thinking in his mind, and his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly.
It is a big threshold for a minor supernatural power to step into the realm of Mahayana. If he wants to break through with his current level of cultivation, it would be better for him to find a medium that contains this kind of Tao essence.
"The Renshui ground vein in the Black Dragon Demon King's lair is said to be a third-level sea eye. Perhaps it can help me cultivate the Ten Thousand Rivers Returning to the Sea Technique."
"..."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Linyuan has been in seclusion for three years.
On this day, Ye Linyuan walked out of the retreat room, exhaled slowly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He came to the top of Yejia Island and looked at the huge Yejia Island, and couldn't help but smile.
During these three years, the Ye family has become one of the top immortal clans, and his injuries have all recovered.
