Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 735 - 325:

Xu Guang suddenly understood why Tian Che had returned to pledge allegiance today.He didn’t have any intention of refusing. After wandering through the Maze Sea, he realized that having power was quite necessary, especially at the level of Second Nirvana. Not to mention that he was currently only at the First Nirvana.

Even if he broke through to the Second Nirvana, he would remain in this realm for a long time.

Solo battles don’t apply to every situation.

Xu Guang smiled, "There’s no talk of guests here; we are all disciples of the Demon-Slaying Academy. Fellow Daoist Tian appreciates me, and I certainly wouldn’t be arrogant."

Tian Che’s face showed a smile.

Jiang Zi Yun served them drinks, and the two began chatting in the courtyard.

Xu Guang wanted to know some information about the Demon-Slaying Academy.

Although he was a true king’s disciple, his time in Jizhou was still short, coupled with never having visited a prestigious academy like this, he wasn’t familiar with these matters.

Currently, Tian Che was well-informed and presumably knew many things that Xu Guang didn’t.

"During this time, I’ve been cultivating the Demon-Slaying Technique and noticed that my Martial Dao true intentions have undergone some transformations. Is this also the effect of the Demon-Slaying Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Che couldn’t help but show surprise.

After a while, he slowly began to speak, his tone complex.

"For martial artists, the First Nirvana seeks the first transformation of Martial Dao’s true intentions, while the Second Nirvana is about condensing the Dharma image. The strength of the Dharma image relates to the future path of becoming a saint.

There’s no fixed path to sainthood; one can only rely on oneself to explore. The strongest aspect of the Demon-Slaying Technique is that it allows one’s Martial Dao true intentions to transform, thereby affecting one’s Dharma image, greatly increasing the chance of becoming a saint."

Xu Guang suddenly understood.

Tian Che continued.

"The most famous thing in the Demon-Slaying Academy is the Demon-Slaying Technique. Apart from that, using the Demon-Slaying Technique as a foundation, under the deduction of many saints and true kings in the academy, many famous cultivation techniques have been derived, such as the Nine Layers Demon-Sealing Lock, the Heavenly Martial Thunder Skill, and so on."

"I see. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tian."

"No need; given your status, Mr. Xu, you could easily obtain this information."

After a moment of hesitation, Tian Che softly asked.

"May I ask, Mr. Xu, which layer of the Demon-Slaying Technique have you cultivated to now?"

"Unfortunately, I’ve only reached the Second Layer. This cultivation technique is profound and I vaguely feel that future cultivation might involve battles with demons."

Half a month, Second Layer?

Tian Che looked upon him with envy and immediately began discussing the cultivation of the Demon-Slaying Technique with Xu Guang.

She had been practicing for several years earlier but was only at the Third Level so far, and her understanding of the Demon-Slaying Technique might not necessarily be more profound than Xu Guang’s.

Xu Guang gladly accepted.

In the following days, Tian Che came daily, and Zhou Qinghu and Bian Meng joined after hearing about it.

Subsequently, Zhuge Wuliang and Jin Buhuan also came.

Of course, cultivation techniques don’t rely on many people for strength, but for this group of beginners, mutual discussion could deepen their understanding of the Demon-Slaying Technique.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Xu Guang finally broke through to the Third Level of the Demon-Slaying Technique.

He faintly sensed that he had reached a bottleneck.

Further improvement in a short time became extremely difficult.

Under the sunlight.

Xu Guang stood quietly in the courtyard.

’The Demon-Slaying Technique is indeed extraordinary; cultivating to the Third Level, in the face of demons and those using demon powers, one’s strength can increase by at least twenty percent...’

Regarding the Dharma image, through cultivating the Demon-Slaying Technique and recent explorations, Xu Guang faintly had some ideas.

Mr. Thirteen sent another letter, stating the Secret Realm of Celestial Venerable Han had been turbulent recently, attracting attention from various parties on Penglai Islands, even outsiders were coming.

The Secret Realm was about to open.

Regarding the Refining Pattern Master, Xu Guang was very interested.

There aren’t many advanced professions for Qi Refiners, and the Refining Pattern Master is definitely one of them, created by an Immortal Venerable with extraordinary power.

He didn’t want to miss out.

Without any surprises, the opening of the Secret Realm would surely be turbulent.

His strength might not necessarily secure him a share.

"Since my talent is insufficient, then... let’s try the panel."

This kind of cultivation technique like the Demon-Slaying Technique could naturally be displayed on the panel, but it required a lot of experience.

However, the panel only speeds up cultivation and doesn’t break limits.

Xu Guang spent experience points to raise the Demon-Slaying Technique to the pinnacle of the Third Level, but still didn’t feel a breakthrough.

He could only give up.

However, it wasn’t completely fruitless; he faintly felt that he likely needed to battle demons and slay a sufficient number of them.

In the following time, Xu Guang, through Tian Che, found some senior brothers in the Demon-Slaying Academy who excelled in Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

They converted all his recent gains into things that could be directly used.

Because the time to go to Celestial Venerable Han’s Secret Realm was very close, he could only find people to work for him.

He himself, after encountering difficulties with the Demon-Slaying Technique, found the Elder who taught techniques and used Demon Slaying Merits to exchange for the Nine Layers Demon-Sealing Lock that Tian Che mentioned earlier.

This cultivation technique is quite remarkable; thanks to the foundation of the Demon-Slaying Technique, entry was very smooth.

Its characteristics resemble the Demon-Slaying Technique but its cultivation process is more dangerous, using one’s Divine Soul as the foundation to contact the terrifying power of Dao Dye in the Void Realm, placing oneself in a state about to transform into a demon but not yet a demon.

It has the concept of knowing oneself and one’s enemy, being undefeated in a hundred battles.

Through this means, constantly increasing one’s resistance to demons.

Ultimately, letting the Qi Force generate a sealing power that can restrain demon powers.

After some research, Xu Guang set aside all distractions and began attempting cultivation.

As he united with General Wei’s Divine Soul, he easily felt the attraction of the Void Realm towards him and General Wei, as if a force in the darkness was eager to transform General Wei into a demon.
