After Hu Le checked the conditions required for cultivating the Qiankun Shift Escape Technique, his initial enthusiasm immediately vanished.
The conditions for its cultivation are so harsh that they are enough to make one's scalp tingle.
He couldn't even meet the simplest of the conditions, which was that he had to cultivate his magical power to the thirtieth level.
That's already the level of a Golden Immortal, something Hu Le can't achieve now.
Looks like I was just getting excited for nothing!
Hu Le shook his head inwardly. Since this method could not be practiced for the time being, he had no choice but to settle for second best.
Finally, he chose two escape techniques to begin his training.
The first method is called the Zhou Tian Starlight Escape Technique. This method is quite extraordinary, especially in that its speed is stronger than other escape techniques such as the Golden Light Escape Technique.
There is also a technique called the Five Innate Escapes.
Although this method does not rely on speed, its profoundness is in no way inferior to other famous escape techniques, and in some aspects it is even superior.
This escape technique corresponds to the five innate elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Once this method is mastered, one will not only be immune to water and fire, and impervious to weapons, but will also be able to transform and transform anything within the five elements and achieve anything...
He first chose the Zhou Tian Xing Guang Escape Technique,
To cultivate this method, one needs to collect and extract a large amount of stellar power.
Normally, to gather enough stellar energy, with his current cultivation level, it would take him at least ten thousand years.
However, when he chose this escape technique, he already had a shortcut that could save most of the time.
He composed himself and then took out the Star Essence that Empress Jin De had given him.
This item can not only be used to refine magical power and craft spiritual treasures, but it also has unique uses in cultivating the Zhou Tian Xing Guang Escape Technique.
With a casual flick of his wrist, the star essence, as fine as sand, rose into the air, swirling like tiny stars, radiating a soft starlight that adorned the entire hall in a dreamlike atmosphere, making one feel as if they were in an endless starry sky…
Hu Le gently blew out a breath of ethereal mist, which seemed to stir up a whirlwind in the hall, instantly enveloping the countless stars in the sky.
As Hu Le's mind shifted, the celestial energy floating in the air underwent a sudden change, beginning to collide and rub against each other, enveloping the essence of stars.
A continuous rustling sound began to echo in the empty hall. As the star essence shattered, it transformed into wisps of star power that dispersed and flowed in the air...
In less than a century, just as Hu Le's magical power was about to be exhausted, he finally refined all the essence of the stars into pure star power.
The time has come!
Hu Le was also afraid that the power of the stars would dissipate, so he kept casting restrictive talismans into the celestial energy that enveloped the power of the stars.
As each talisman radiating a mysterious aura fell in, the celestial energy seemed to boil like water, and each talisman transformed into countless tadpoles, swimming freely within the celestial energy.
After they collide with each other, new changes suddenly occur, and they continuously devour each other, thus creating new runes.
And so, the talismans devoured and evolved one another.
As time passed, the changes reached their peak, and the tadpoles formed from the runes strung together, connecting end to end to form a circle.
This is precisely the manifestation of the perfect completion of the restrictions of the Zhou Tian Starlight Escape Technique.
Hu Le dared not be negligent. He opened his mouth and inhaled deeply. The celestial energy, wrapped in the power of stars, surged back and swept into his mouth like a whirlwind.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Le devoured all the star power that filled the entire hall, as if swallowing a whale.
The first and most difficult stage of cultivating the Zhou Tian Xing Guang Escape Technique has been overcome.
His spiritual practice began to improve from that point on...
Several hundred more years have passed.
Hu Le remained seated quietly in the hall, his entire being seemingly transformed into a stone sculpture, unmoved despite the passage of countless years.
On this day, Hu Le's eyelids suddenly twitched, and then opened, revealing a glimmer of starlight in the depths of his originally unfathomable eyes.
However, the strange phenomenon he saw was fleeting, and he quickly returned to his usual calm.
This change also fully proves that he has mastered this escape technique.
"rise!"
Hu Le gave a low shout.
He transformed into a beam of starlight, circling the hall with lightning speed before returning to his original position.
Hu Le waved his sleeve, and the starlight surrounding him slowly dissipated into the surrounding void and disappeared.
This method is indeed mysterious; all my hard work was worthwhile.
Hu Le felt that his efforts had finally paid off, and he was quite gratified...
"Oh... I should also start practicing the Five Elements of Innate Escape."
He muttered to himself, deciding to strike while the iron was hot and cultivate the Five Innate Escape Techniques in one go.
Once he got the hang of it, he found that this method was quite difficult to practice.
For him, there is clearly no shortcut to cultivating the Five Innate Escapes and the Zhou Tian Starlight Escape Technique for the time being.
The only way is to gradually absorb and exhale the innate five elements of energy according to the cultivation method, transforming them into the foundation of the innate five escapes.
He silently calculated that the foundation laying alone would take at least tens of thousands of years.
Of course, just like practicing the Zhou Tian Xing Guang Escape Technique, there are ways to take shortcuts.
Once enough innate five-element spiritual objects are found and refined, cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort.
Nowadays, the world is full of innate spiritual energy, and all kinds of innate spiritual objects are everywhere. It is not difficult for him to find suitable innate five elements objects.
If there's a way to save time, might as well use it.
Thinking of this, Hu Le dispelled his magic, stood up, and walked out of the hall, then wandered around towards the Heavenly Palace.
Now that I've emerged from seclusion, the first thing I should do is go and pay my respects to my teacher and his wife.
He might be able to get some freebies from them, directly asking for some innate Five Elements items, saving him the trouble of searching for them in the prehistoric world.
He didn't believe that the vast Heavenly Palace would lack his spiritual objects for refining magical arts and supernatural powers.
Along the way, he encountered squads of heavenly soldiers and generals on patrol. Every time he passed by, someone would stop him and question him.
After ascertaining his identity, they all bowed and greeted him respectfully.
Although he currently holds no official position, his status as the Heavenly Emperor's only disciple ensures that no one dares to underestimate him.
Amidst the greetings along the way, he also learned where Taiyi was currently staying.
After passing dozens of palaces and pavilions, he finally arrived at the Tongming Hall, which was called the Cloud Palace.
On ordinary days, Taiyi often works here, handling various matters concerning the gods.
Hu Le arrived at the foot of the jade steps outside the palace and asked the guardian generals guarding the palace to go in and deliver a message.
A short while later, the god returned from inside the hall and conveyed Taiyi's order, instructing him to go in and pay his respects.
He nodded slightly to the divine general before leisurely entering the hall. From afar, he saw Taiyi talking to a refined-looking middle-aged man.
"Your disciple greets you, Master. May you be blessed with good health and longevity."
Although Hu Le was puzzled by the middle-aged man's identity, he didn't look at him too much. He quickly walked a few steps and came to Taiyi's side, bowing and greeting him.
"Disciple, there's no need for such formalities. Please go and pay your respects to Fellow Daoist Fuxi."
Taiyi's calm voice rang in Hu Le's ears...
