Daiyu agreed with Zheng Ya's decision to observe from the sidelines and sat cross-legged on the protruding rock next to him: "Now that we have a plan, what should we do next?"
“Cultivation and resource gathering can be carried out simultaneously.” Zheng Ya gazed at the boundless blue sky, thinking of his wife and children, and longing to meet them again with his strength.
He exuded an aura of melancholy yet unwavering resolve that resonated deeply with Daiyu: "You miss them?"
"Thinking about it is just wishful thinking without the ability!" Zheng Ya felt a heavy weight pressing on his heart, a burden he could hardly shake off.
Daiyu smiled calmly and changed the subject: "So, what is our direction in cultivation?"
"Array cultivators use the original will of their soul as a guide, condense the original spiritual patterns of their supernatural abilities as an aid, imprint them into their accompaniment treasures, and then feed them back to their main body to perfect the array cultivation technique."
As for how to create cultivation techniques, given that you possess the Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb and have the ability to regenerate life, even if you make a mistake and injure your body, it won't be fatal. You should try it first." Zheng Ya was worried that she would go astray, so he transformed into a mentor to guide her cultivation.
This means that Zheng Ya, who has already created the Five Elements Mutual Generation Cultivation Technique through the extraordinary treasures of the Sihelou, is constantly cultivating himself and possesses the experience of a mentor.
Only now does Zheng Ya realize the importance of the cultivation techniques for supernatural abilities.
At the same time, we gained a deeper understanding of the Sihelou, a building with a unique symbiotic treasure.
For example, Zheng Ya had previously devoured and refined the Water Source Pearl in the Azure Dragon Society's secret realm, but he did not activate the water-attribute spirit plant of the Four Harmonies Pavilion's treasure; he was only half-awakened.
The reason is that the water source bead only possesses instinctive self-protection and spiritual cultivation, and its water attribute essence is very shallow.
After being devoured and refined by the treasures of the Four Harmonies Pavilion, it barely awakened the water attribute spirituality, which was not enough to compare with the metal and wood sources.
That would require seizing more primal power to ensure that all attributes of the Sihe Building are complete.
It currently only possesses the characteristic of having all attributes.
This depends on the all-encompassing inclusiveness of spatial and temporal superpowers.
Therefore, Zheng Ya suddenly realized that among the four arts of immortal cultivation in this world, only the art of array cultivation is most suitable for him to develop and create cultivation techniques. Studying arrays is indispensable.
The original method involves consuming spiritual energy to activate the Four Harmony Tower system for array analysis, then combining it with primordial spiritual objects and the devouring properties of the Four Harmony Tower's treasures. This allows one to imprint primordial spiritual patterns of spiritual energy into the Four Harmony Tower's treasures, which are then simultaneously fed back to the main body, gradually perfecting the cultivation technique. It's not difficult.
The difficulty lies in the scarcity of primordial spiritual objects and the incompleteness of the formations.
It even lacks some minerals.
This became a major problem for Zheng Ya in his spiritual practice.
After he explained the methods for cultivating supernatural abilities, Daiyu shared his concerns: "I'm not in a hurry to cultivate my supernatural abilities."
The key is that your cultivation requires the essence of spiritual objects and secret formation techniques. Where do you plan to obtain these?
The four arts of cultivating immortality in this world are incomplete.
As a result, the vast majority of cultivators in the world practiced incomplete and fragmented cultivation methods, learned and used a limited number of spells, and the Dao of Talismans was basically eradicated.
The art of alchemy still exists, but it lacks the spiritual herbs needed for refining elixirs, which is tantamount to crippling it.
The art of weapon crafting and array formation is slightly better than that of talisman cultivation, as the lineage has not been severed, though both are incomplete and fragmented.
The fact that even the royal family of the Great Li Dynasty couldn't repair the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array after two or three years speaks volumes.
Moreover, crystal and mineral resources are scarce, making it impossible to maintain a large-scale array.
It's like a warrior cutting off his own arm!
Zheng Ya was also helpless in the face of this situation, and said with a wry smile, "It's alright, we can just sit back and wait, and while we're at it, we can arrange for someone to collect information on the inheritance and resources of the Four Arts!"
"You mean there's a hunter waiting in the wings..." Daiyu now fully understood his implication, while Zheng Ya smiled faintly and remained silent...
On a southeastern slope in the eastern suburbs of Xueling, snow weighs down the tree branches, creating a crystal-clear scene.
The sunlight was dazzling.
Wu Wei raised her hand and threw the retired emperor onto the snow: "Be infamous for ten thousand years, die by being torn to pieces, or cooperate with me to achieve immortality, you choose one!"
"Cough cough, ptooey!" The Emperor Emeritus was thrown onto the snow and fell, feeling dizzy and nauseous. He gritted his teeth, got up, spat out the snow that had gotten into his mouth, and gasped for breath: "Huff huff."
The idea that he was feigning misery, spying on Wu Wei, and plotting a counterattack is simply not true.
Wu Wei walked to the snow-covered rock on the left and sat down to enjoy the scenery, seemingly forgetting the person next to her.
His powers were sealed, and after more than three months of brutal beatings, castration, and other forms of torture, the Emperor Emeritus was barely recognizable as a human being. It took him a while to recover: "You are a visitor from outer space, but you also possess the bloodline of my seventh princess, incurring a karmic debt..."
"Next time you go off-topic, I'll take it as you choosing the former..." Wu Wei casually warned, but Shan Hun didn't say a word.
This made Evil Soul Wu Wei very uncomfortable. Was this some kind of mute skill?
Sometimes silence is the most hurtful thing; let's just watch others make a fool of themselves.
The Emperor Emeritus remained silent for a long while, then gritted his teeth and made a decision: "You ask me, I will answer; I will tell you everything I know!"
"Uh, so decisive, that's really unlike your suspicious and ruthless nature as an emperor!" Wu Wei was no longer convinced!
Has the emperor's dignity been eaten by dogs?
The retired emperor gave a bitter smile, shivering in the snow: "I only wish to witness the birth of the imperial seal before I die, so that I can die in peace!"
"Old man, testing me won't do you any good?" Wu Wei didn't believe he was ready to die.
If the retired emperor had been determined to die, he would have committed suicide long ago.
Since the retired emperor has endured humiliation and survived, he must have something to do with it.
Cunning as a fox, he wouldn't fall for the trap. The Emperor Emeritus's will to live sank to the bottom: "Haha, I'm just afraid I won't be able to give you the answer you want?"
"Hmm, you're overthinking it. You're worried I'll kill you in a fit of rage." Wu Wei had no intention of dirtying her hands by killing him, but the Emperor Emeritus mistook her for a cunning scheme: "Your intentions are enough for me..."
"Enough, there's no use arguing with me. I just want to know the whereabouts of the seal and related information."
"You'd better not try to fool me, or you'll face consequences you can't handle. Tell me, then." Wu Wei had no interest in playing games with him.
The retired emperor objected: "From your few words, combined with the sudden disappearance of my rebellious sixth son, the emperor, and your abduction of me here, I have concluded that you and the emperor went to the Fu family to inquire about the whereabouts of the imperial seal..."
"What do you want to say?" Wu Wei became interested. Could it be that Fu Qianshi knew more about the whereabouts of the imperial seal than this retired emperor?
Or was it a trap set by the retired emperor to shirk responsibility and save his own life, using someone else to do his dirty work?
The retired emperor laughed: "You don't know the secret that the emperor knew that the imperial seal was once the spiritual treasure at the core of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array beneath the capital, used to connect with the rules of Heaven and guide immortals to ascend to the upper realm. Is that understandable?"
"Hmm, continue?" Wu Wei was admiring the scenery, but her clenched fists betrayed her nervous and excited emotions. The Emperor Emeritus saw this and smiled: "You tell me first, why didn't you arrest Fu Qianshi and Fu Ying?"
Instead, they've chosen to plunder me, going to such lengths instead of coming here. What are they after?
"I think it's better that you don't know!" Wu Wei realized she had fallen for a trap and was too ashamed to admit it!
Shanhunwu smiled broadly: "Haha, your cleverness backfired. You were defeated by someone who schemed against you. How utterly laughable..."
