Chapter 295: Deceiving Heaven and Earth
Chapter 295: Deceiving Heaven and Earth
The sound of the spring was pleasant, and a gentle breeze caressed their faces.
The three of them stood by the spring.
When the topic of Transcendent Deity was brought up, Shen Yi and Xu Wanwen both had glimmering eyes.
For most Cultivators, it was a realm that was out of reach, but for those who could truly grasp this path, they had already started paving the way for their future cultivation during the Middle Realm Hunchuan.
"The Ancestor of Wutong Mountain, that Transcendent Power, once said a phrase."
"The essence of cultivation lies in a single word."
Xu Wanwen forgot her previous embarrassment, and her eyes lit up with anticipation as she slowly uttered a word, "Deceive."
"To wield the power of heaven and earth with a mortal body, the most crucial thing is to deceive this world. Whether it's condensing the Dao Infant with the essence of aura or using various Spirit Roots to gather the five viscera, it's all to make oneself appear more like a naturally born spiritual entity in the eyes of heaven and earth."
She pointed at the sky, "To make it believe we are one of its own."
After saying this, Xu Wanwen withdrew her gaze, "The quality of Spirit Roots represents the affinity with heaven and earth in the future. Those Cultivators who remain stuck in the initial stage of Incarnation, no matter how powerful their divine souls are, are limited by their Spirit Roots. At most, they can only manipulate the heavenly aura within a few hundred li."
"No matter how exquisite your cultivation technique is, or how skilled you are in controlling aura, if the quantity of aura is insufficient, it will always be like a mirage, easily shattered with a touch."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyes to the azure sky, his heart filled with admiration.
It was because he knew that his seemingly casual palm strike that had severely injured the decrepit old man was actually after consuming several Demon King inner cores.
Otherwise, even half a Flame Scorching Heart Palm would have been enough to drain his Dao Infant.
No matter how much foundation one accumulates, there will always be a day when it runs out. Only by reaching the Transcendent Deity realm can one truly consume the essence of heaven and earth.
"How much heavenly aura can Nie Jun manipulate?"
Shen Yi looked to the side, not intending to compare with this Mystic Sword Immortal, but because he only knew of this renowned expert.
"This isn't something written in books, how would I know..."
Xu Wanwen pondered for a moment, hesitantly offering comfort, "Four or five thousand li, or maybe eight or nine thousand li, it's hard to say. Actually, having too much heavenly aura isn't that useful. After all, even with an inexhaustible supply, you still need to find a way to utilize it. If your cultivation technique is not refined, and your methods are too shallow, it's still useless."
Hearing these contradictory words, Shen Yi fell silent.
This woman clearly had decent cultivation, yet she always gave off an unreliable impression.
A Qing, however, was curious, "Does the Mystic Sword Immortal only have the ability to manipulate vast amounts of aura but lacks the cultivation technique to harness it?"
"That's not the case. His Celestial Thunder Sword has reached the realm of perfection, and he can consume as much aura as he wants." Xu Wanwen coughed lightly.
Even A Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes at this, "Aunt."
"What I mean is... There's no need for us to compare ourselves with such a freak. It's just self-destructive to our Dao heart."
Xu Wanwen spread her hands, taking it all in stride.
Shen Yi slightly closed his eyes, once again deepening his understanding of the challenges he would face on his path.
After a brief chat, Xu Wanwen quietly glanced at the youth, finally piecing together what had happened at the Zheng family.
But the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
The Zheng family's Patriarch's cultivation was definitely not weaker than hers, and he had the Ageless Tree's connection, providing him with an endless supply of resources. He could even temporarily burst forth with transcendent power.
He was almost killed by the youth's palm strike.
Not because the old man was weak, but because Shen Yi's palm strike was too terrifying, and it directly shattered the Ageless Tree's courage, causing it to abandon the Zheng family Patriarch.
There were two crucial points to consider.
Shen Yi, a Middle Realm Primordial Sage, wanted to learn the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation technique, but to do so, he needed guidance from a powerful cultivator of that realm... Even if someone were to chew and feed it to him, it wasn't something a young cultivator could easily grasp; it required an exceptionally high level of comprehension.
However, the other party's earlier display wasn't a simple matter of "knowing how to use it." To exhibit such astonishing might, they must have cultivated the technique to perfection.
After fulfilling this nearly impossible condition, they would also need sufficient cultivation to unleash it, making it even harder to comprehend.
Cultivators aren't gods; how could they create something from nothing?
Could it be some kind of precious elixir that instantly replenishes one's energy? Xu Wanwen had lived for many years and had never heard of anything similar. But thinking back to the Divine Transformation Body that had left earlier, the strength of such a cultivator, capable of having such a powerful protector, made their background almost unimaginable. Perhaps they could indeed make it happen.
The Xu family, among the many factions, was one of the few not renowned for their strength.
Their expertise lay in Formation Arrays.
To study grand arrays, they needed to gather the best techniques from various sources and then target them individually.
They could be considered well-versed and widely knowledgeable.
But no matter how Xu Wanwen thought about it, she couldn't deduce Shen Yi's identity.
Logically, with something like the Divine Transformation Body, if they still had the energy to move about freely, it would be easy to associate them with the Da Qian Temple of Martial Arts.
However, the coiled dragon on the golden body's arm, coupled with its malevolent aura, was entirely different from the style of the golden body cultivators of Da Qian.
Moreover, Shen Yi had cultivated the Spirit Transformation technique to perfection.
Those Martial Immortals of Da Qian couldn't even understand the technique, let alone teach it to others.
This fact alone was enough to rule out the Temple of Martial Arts.
But the fact that the golden body required Incense Fire Wish Power to form meant it couldn't be from a reclusive family... This was truly bizarre!
"That's right."
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Yi suddenly looked at the two women without warning, "Have you heard of any news about a supreme spiritual root with a malevolent aura like this?"
This question came so suddenly that they didn't have time to think.
"No."
"Yes."
Xu Wanwen subconsciously denied it, then looked at A Qing in astonishment, "Are you crazy?"
She knew her niece was rebellious, but she never imagined her audacity would go this far.
A Qing clenched her fists tightly and looked at Shen Yi seriously, "Elder Brother Shen, I do know of such a supreme spiritual root, but it's what my family relies on for survival. With this spiritual root as the array's eye, we can live in seclusion..."
"So I can't tell you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Wanwen's expression changed.
Even if she wasn't well-versed in worldly matters, she understood the principle of the survival of the fittest; it wasn't something one could choose not to reveal.
Thinking of this, she looked at Shen Yi with less confidence.
However, the handsome youth's face remained calm and composed, and he nodded slightly, "I understand."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanwen froze in her tracks.
A Qing gradually revealed a joyful smile, "But if you can protect my family and convince them..."
"I don't have that ability yet."
Shen Yi responded honestly, not overstating his capabilities.
To protect the Xu family would be equivalent to openly opposing the Radiant Light Cave, and to achieve this, at the very least, the entire Da Qian would need to unite, using the twelve Divine Transformation remains, along with the Temple's Ancestor, to exert a formidable deterrent.
With his current strength, he couldn't make decisions on behalf of the Temple's Ancestor.
