Chapter 199 The New Demon Emperor of Divine Refinement Technique
Seeing Li Jieqing's eager expression, Yu Qishan smiled and said, "There aren't many mysterious methods for using divine sense. Like magical power, it moves at will. Generally speaking, the longer one lives, the more skilled one becomes at using it."
"However, when the Grand Preceptor Da Liang preached that day, in addition to talking about his experience in using divine sense, he also found some classic texts to study from the ruins of a place a thousand years ago, before the Blood Heart Cave Heaven had changed and before the Blood Heart Sect had disappeared."
"Those scriptures were not supernatural powers or spells, nor could they produce magical power. The court considered them to be mundane things. Only the Grand Preceptor of Liang led dozens of his colleagues to study them, spending many years in the process. They even had some disagreements with the emperor. Finally, they said that they had figured out that they were methods of cultivating spiritual consciousness."
"Magic power has form, but consciousness has no form. Therefore, consciousness can only be opened and closed in a wide manner and is difficult to control precisely, just like magic power is used to cast spells."
"Therefore, the only way is to transform the formless consciousness into a tangible one, at which point it will have a wondrous use."
"The Grand Preceptor of Liang called the method recorded in the scriptures the visualization method, which is to visualize an object in one's mind and then use the visualized image in one's mind to bless one's spiritual practice."
"Before his death, Grand Preceptor Da Liang was calling on his colleagues to compile a Crimson Kun Visualization Method based on the classics left by the Blood Heart Sect and by using the royal family's means of communicating with the inner vision of the Crimson Kun. Unfortunately, the Western Demon Emperor wreaked havoc on the dynasty, and the emperor urged and pressured the emperor several times, so the matter was not completed. After Grand Preceptor Da Liang led his people westward, he never returned, and the Eastern Land suffered heavy losses."
Even though he was an old man nearing death, Yu Qishan still couldn't let go of the events of that year.
Before his death, Shan Daliang was in the prime of his youth at Yuqishan, and he had witnessed the grandeur of the Imperial Advisor. Unfortunately, for the sake of peace in the East and because of his conflict with the royal family, Shan Daliang died in the West.
Yu Qishan cultivated the Flying Pearl Splashing Jade Divine Power, making him incredibly fast. He was originally responsible for contacting Shan Daliang's group as they ventured deep into the demon realm, but unfortunately, he watched helplessly as all those who went west disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the old patriarch's demeanor, Li Jieqing couldn't help but glance at him, thinking to himself that he was indeed a dying man, with reminiscence often in his eyes.
Li Jieqing understood this.
However, compared to Yu Qishan's state of mind and expression, Li Jieqing was more reminded of what he had gained after killing Bao Wu and the others by those words.
It does not cultivate supernatural powers or magic, nor does it involve practicing techniques that cultivate magical power or true energy.
There must be a whole bunch of these kinds of classic books, treasures, and precious chapters.
So, what kind of visualization method is it supposed to be gleaned from this before it can be used specifically for cultivating spiritual consciousness?
I knew it.
Disciples of the upper sects like Bao Wu, Bao Zhang, and Bao Cheng would never neglect the cultivation of their divine sense.
It turns out that the methods for cultivating spiritual consciousness are hidden in strange books on mind cultivation, used as practice. Perhaps there is some kind of method that cannot be easily passed on.
Moreover, it seems that the Blood Heart Sect used to do the same thing. These cultivation sects are really all the same, acting strangely and mysteriously.
"Huanxiu, I have some experience with using divine sense. Although it may not have many wonderful uses, if you study it, you will have no problem mastering the techniques of transmitting sound with divine sense and controlling objects with divine sense."
Yu Qishan has truly opened his heart to Yu Qishan.
Previously, he had already given them family-inherited supernatural powers, as well as methods such as the ability to condense evil spirits and separate evil spirits.
This is another experience related to spiritual cultivation.
Li Jieqing took the new jade slip, but this time he didn't rush to read it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I heard from the old patriarch that the previous Grand Preceptor of Liang was going to compile a new method for cultivating spiritual consciousness. In other words, the old method still exists?"
Yu Qishan was taken aback, not expecting Li Jieqing to still be concerned about that matter. He then sneered, "The old methods are naturally in the hands of the royal family, but they aren't the wondrous methods of divine sense application compiled by the Grand Preceptor of Liang. They're simply a method for increasing divine sense, called the Refining Spirit Technique. Each time this technique is used, the divine sense becomes more condensed, and the range of perception increases by one foot. It's said that with diligent practice day and night, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense can rival that of a superior Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a superior Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense can rival that of a perfect Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, it takes a long time, and the results are few and far between."
Judging from Yu Qishan's expression, one can tell that he is not particularly fond of the current royal family.
It's just that the imperial court has been going through this for over a thousand years, so it's just a matter of getting by.
At this point, Li Jieqing was completely captivated by the information in Yu Qishan's words.
This Blood Heart Cave is indeed full of treasures!
The effects of the Spirit Refining Technique reminded Li Jieqing of his Treasure Nourishing Technique. Both of them seemed to have little use at first glance, but if one persisted in practicing them, one could gain a significant advantage over other cultivators of the same level.
Each time it is activated, the divine sense becomes more refined, and the range of exploration increases by one foot. Even if it is activated only once a day, that is 360 feet in a year, 36 zhang in ten years, and nearly two miles in territory!
Besides, how can such a good thing only operate once a day?
Although Yu Qishan didn't care much, treating it as just an ordinary royal secret technique, Li Jieqing was certain that if Bao Wu and Bao Zhang learned of this "Refining Spirit Technique," they would definitely scheme against it.
The same would naturally apply to Li Jieqing, who was also from out of town.
People in the Eastern Immortal Cultivation World may have more experience in Foundation Establishment and cultivation common sense, but their vision has been confined to the Blood Heart Cave for over a thousand years. They are definitely no match for Li Jieqing and do not understand the importance of divine sense.
Especially for Li Jieqing, spells that become more effective the longer they are used are particularly suitable for someone as long-lived as him.
For nearly a century, the Azure Water Sword and the Thousand Illusions Mask have been nurtured into top-tier spiritual weapons by the Treasure Nourishing Technique. Li Jieqing secretly wondered what level his divine sense would reach if he cultivated the Divine Refining Technique for a hundred years.
No wonder the single-power commander's divine sense was so vast and powerful; it turns out he was secretly cultivating this wonderful thing.
Yu Qishan, unaware of Li Jieqing's thoughts, had only just finished speaking frankly when an idea suddenly occurred to him. He said, "Huanxiu, your Foundation Establishment is of the highest level, which is extremely rare and shouldn't be wasted. Why not arrange a marriage with the royal family, using their supernatural powers as dowry, and at the same time, avoid the disturbances in the demon realm?"
"There's no rush." Li Jieqing had no patience for maintaining the relationships between these aristocratic families.
It would have been fine before, but especially now, there's really no time or inclination to indulge in such leisurely pursuits.
"Elder, please tell me in detail—the scene of the collapse of this Blood Heart Cave Heaven a thousand years ago, and the signs that appeared at the time of the incident."
.
Li Jieqing said, "I once worked at the Imperial Observatory and knew the movements of those two treacherous Grand Preceptors. According to their calculations, the future of Blood Heart Cave Heaven seems bleak—"
Yu Qishan suddenly realized, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
It looks like the sky is about to collapse again.
Li Jieqing had a vague feeling about this.
According to the locals of Yuqi Mountain, and based on the calculation manuscript of Master Baozhang, it seems as if the sky is about to collapse.
Back when the Blood Heart Sect still existed, the Blood Heart Cave Heaven was located high above the dome of the sky, just below the Thirty-Six Heavenly Palaces.
When the Heart Sect was destroyed, the Blood Heart Cave Heaven was also knocked down and fell from the dome.
This is the internal turmoil of Blood Heart Cave Heaven recorded by the predecessor of the Eastern Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. The entire Blood Heart Cave Heaven almost fell apart and broke in two, and a rolling, endless Tongtian River was born from the crack.
The Crimson Kun, who guarded the Blood Heart Cave, was fast and hid in the East Sea for over a thousand years.
It wasn't until more than thirty years ago that Li Jieqing rediscovered it, opening up the lost Blood Heart Cave.
To be precise, it was found by Fairy Luxurious Colors and the being behind her.
According to Bao Zhang's calculations, Blood Heart Cave Heaven is ascending and returning to the place where it was knocked down years ago.
Li Jieqing naturally sensed something was amiss.
Without even a thought, the once intact Blood Heart Cave Heaven was destroyed above. Now that it's almost split in two, can it ever go back?
If it falls again, it will really break in two.
If it were just split in two, that would be fine, but there's the Fairy of Luxurious Colors and the being behind her plotting something.
Normally, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Even if Blood Heart Cave Heaven falls again, the Eastern Court should be able to withstand it.
Moreover, Li Jieqing was confident that he still had ways to protect himself. He could kill Bao Wu and Bao Zhang, and smash the things belonging to the local people of the Eastern Court. Most of the time, he couldn't kill him.
However, with the addition of Fairy Luxurious Colors and the entity behind her, things become more complicated.
"My head hurts!"
Li Jieqing would not do anything wishful thinking. To believe that he would not die and could stay put to continue his cultivation would be too naive.
The Crimson Kun resides in the East Sea, but the Blood Heart Cave Heaven seems to be situated in the void. Just hearing that sounds extremely dangerous; it's not a place for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If we wait until the sky collapses, even if the internal turmoil doesn't kill him, who knows whether he will fall into the East Sea or into that void and nowhere to rely on after the Blood Heart Cave is destroyed?
Therefore, Li Jieqing was already planning to flee.
In his recent time in the Eastern Lands, he has gained a considerable amount of Foundation Establishment cultivation experience, making up for his lack of common knowledge about Foundation Establishment. After leaving, it will not be a problem for him to cultivate all the way to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
But leaving isn't so easy either.
The Earth Fire Courtyard.
Originally, this small courtyard was located under the west corridor of Ningrong Mansion, almost right next to it. Now it has been opened up and officially become part of Ningrong Mansion, where Li Jieqing lives.
The original formations and items such as the Ruyi Green Lotus have been put away. The mother fire of Ningrong Mansion has been transferred from the Earth Fire Pool and is now exclusively used by Li Jieqing for refining weapons.
Then, the underground spiritual veins were guided by the Imperial Construction Bureau, creating a second-grade high-quality spiritual land.
The cultivation world in the East is rich in resources. Breakthroughs are rewarded with a second-grade high-quality spiritual land. And that's not even the best in Ningrong Mansion. The spiritual energy of the residence on Jade Qi Mountain is even better.
Outside the newly renovated Di Huo Courtyard, a plaque bearing the title of Junior Tutor of the Imperial Court has been hung.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
A person walked in respectfully with their head bowed; it was my old friend, Bai Ningxue.
"Greetings, Junior Tutor."
Bai Ningxue didn't ask why Li Jieqing didn't have anyone to serve him. After greeting him, she stood still without looking up.
"President Ningxue, there's no need to be so formal."
"Yes." Bai Ningxue then looked up.
"How's the information I asked you to gather?" Li Jieqing asked.
"This year, our chamber of commerce directly suspended business dealings with the western border, but the channels haven't been shut down yet. We just happened to learn about the matter of the demon realm." Bai Ningxue paused for a moment, then continued, "It has been discovered that five demon kings have appeared in the desert, spying on the eastern lands. These five demon kings are completely different from the original demon realm; they don't fight each other, but just wander around, watching the cultivators who intrude. The wave that was stirred up by the Western Expansion Order back then has completely stopped because of these five demon kings."
"This is the location where the five demon kings appeared, and the records of the patterns we discovered."
Bai Ningxue held a jade slip above her head with both hands.
"Oh, that's thoughtful of you." Li Jieqing took it personally and went to the side to look through it.
Seeing this, Bai Ningxue hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Young Master, you should know more about the court than we do. What exactly is going on in the west? Could it be that the demon realm is about to invade the east?"
"That's not necessarily true—no, not necessarily."
Li Jieqing put away the jade slip and said, "Several years ago, the imperial court went to the Western Regions to search for the former Director of the Imperial Observatory who had defected. As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that a current Demon Emperor had appeared in the Demon Realm. He was a dragon-turtle, who occupied the source of the Tongtian River and commanded all the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm to gather. My former patriarch of the Ningrong Mansion was injured by the gathered Demon Kings when he was exploring the Western Regions and is still recuperating. The five Demon Kings who are now occupying the border must also be driven by that dragon-turtle Demon Emperor and are spying on my Eastern Kingdom."
When Li Jieqing first heard the news, he almost burst out laughing.
Your new demon emperor sounds familiar, has he been weaned yet?
But what follows is an inexplicable headache.
