Chapter 402 Twenty Years of Seclusion Leads to Perfect Completion of All Dharma Practices (End of Volume)
Supernatural powers, magical intent, alchemy, and the derivation of cultivation methods.
Everything will be significantly accelerated. Although the placement bar will not receive the Dao Platform's blessing, its own body can. Combining the two will be one of the best ways to use the placement bar!
With all preparations complete, Wang Yu then began his seclusion.
It has been just over six years since he condensed his Nascent Soul, and his demonic energy has naturally increased considerably, reaching about 138 drops before his seclusion.
This is with all three placement slots working together.
He could obtain 150 strands of energy through daily cultivation, which is equivalent to 1.5 strands. In six years and two months, he accumulated about 33 drops. The extra drops were obtained through his own cultivation.
Judging from the cultivation process at the Nascent Soul stage, even for him, it would take 350 years to accumulate more than 2,000 drops of demonic energy and break through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.
This is unreasonable.
After all, he has the aptitude of a spirit body, the speed-up cultivation option, and the added bonus of the nine-inch celestial infant. Even he needs this much time.
Wouldn't the rest of the Nascent Soul cultivators be stuck in the early Nascent Soul stage for their entire lives? Therefore, apart from conventional methods like elixirs, the problem might lie with top-grade spirit stones.
While Wang Yu frowned in thought, he took out a top-grade spirit stone.
He began circulating his cultivation technique to absorb the essence of spiritual energy, but soon discovered the problem and realized he had guessed wrong...
"It's a cultivation technique!"
Wang Yu slapped his forehead. The Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture had not yet been advanced to the fourth rank. Even with all three placement slots working at the same time, the progress bar at the bottom was still only two-thirds full.
He almost forgot about this. Ever since he discovered that the efficiency of absorbing and refining spiritual energy had increased tenfold when he condensed his nascent soul, he hadn't cared too much about it.
It now seems that cultivation techniques have a tremendous impact on high-level cultivators.
On the other hand, there's the issue of freezing demonic energy.
While conversion through a demonic infant is feasible, it is too slow, as a significant amount of essential spiritual energy is wasted on it, resulting in very little demonic essence being obtained in the end.
The ability to "create something from nothing" in the placement bar is based on the content of the placed cultivation techniques or scriptures. For example, the secret technique Heavenly Lock requires spatial power to cultivate.
As a result, the placement bar responded with pure spatial power.
The Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture is essentially a cultivation method for magical power. Using it to cultivate demonic essence will naturally result in a huge difference. Logically speaking, it will take one or two hundred years to break through one level of cultivation.
That's within a reasonable range.
Without external assistance, a Nascent Soul cultivator who cultivates purely naturally cannot reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage unless they possess extraordinary talent.
otherwise.
Why bother pursuing auxiliary items like spirit objects, elixirs, and formations? It took so long to notice the problem; it's all because the placement bar gave too much feedback.
I thought he had cultivated it himself.
No... it was something he cultivated himself; that instinctive ability to move his arms like fingers couldn't be fake.
Otherwise, Wang Yu wouldn't have kept feeling that there was another version of himself in the placement bar, and that he would have been working like a beast of burden, cultivating for twelve hours a day.
Sit on the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform.
He took out some small items given to him by his demon friends, sat cross-legged on the Ice Heart Futon, lit the Wonderful True Spirit Incense, and held the two True Enlightenment Stones engraved with mysterious ancient texts in his hands.
His divine consciousness transformed into tentacles and brewed a cup of Enlightenment Tea for him to drink.
With several enhancements, Wang Yu suddenly felt an explosion of inspiration. His thoughts seemed to be on accelerator, and countless cultivation techniques and principles roamed freely in his mind, combining freely.
This will spark even more inspiration.
"--Cool!"
His primary goal was to deduce the "Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture," and he had to solve any problems he encountered immediately, otherwise it would be a waste of time. Fortunately, he discovered the problem early.
In recent years, due to a series of events, I haven't been able to settle down and cultivate properly. From this point on, I will make up for all the problems, and my Guanghan Divine Power will also advance to the fourth level... and so on.
It's good to go into seclusion for a while. I don't know what I'm rushing for. I curse myself. In May of the 66th year of Elder Wang Yu's life, he was completely immersed in the mystery of enlightenment.

at the same time.
outside world.
After the elders of the Heart Beast Tower finished studying the Human Desire Method, they passed on this inheritance to the newly promoted Five-Colored Holy Lord of the Northern Demon Clan, and also sent a copy to their respective clans.
The Five-Colored Saint Lord Lu Ming immediately summoned Tianpeng King and others to discuss this matter. The Human Desire Method had a significant impact, as it could slowly improve the purity of one's bloodline through gentle dual cultivation.
It is of great significance.
However, the name and the requirement to cultivate with a human are too strange, and the four races must discuss how to deal with it.
That day.
In the newly established Holy Lord's Palace, Lu Ming distributed the divine consciousness jade slips to the three demon kings and spoke succinctly.
"This is the inheritance that Master Wang Dan received after ascending the Ancient Beast Ancestor Mountain. What do you think?"
Reaching the summit?
King Tianpeng, King Leilin, and King Huoya exchanged glances, observed silently, and soon put down the jade slips in their hands to begin their discussion.
The Fire Crow King said, "This should be the inheritance of the Joyful Union Demon Sect. There is a saying that the Beast God Society of the Ancient Beast Ancestral Mountain has passed down the Contractual Law Sect, and past records have also confirmed this."
"Indeed, that makes sense, but why would the Beast God possess such a method? Is there a deeper meaning hidden within it?"
Smart people think this way, complicating things.
These words were spoken by King Tianpeng.
The Five-Colored Holy Lord shook his head and said, "The key now is whether the Northern Demon Clan can bear the cost of spreading this inheritance."
King Lei Lin, who was always reckless, was now frowning.
"I believe this matter is not up to us. The elders of the Heart Beast Tower come from various races. With their eyesight, they can recognize the problems involved, but they also know the advantages of this method."
"Given enough time, the Northern Demon Clan will surely produce a continuous stream of talented descendants, giving birth to even more powerful beings at the level of transformed Great Demons."
Everyone fell silent; this time, King Lei Lin had hit the nail on the head.
What they should be thinking about now is how to handle this.
Rather than whether it spreads...
"Those with gentle temperaments will naturally befriend humans, and our subsequent plans will be stillborn. Those with aggressive temperaments will likely treat human cultivators as tools and vessels, unleashing even more malice."
It's unknown how the human race will react then. The divide between humans and demons is neither serious nor serious; the key lies in the attitude of the Nascent Soul Venerable.
"By the way, how are those half-demons doing now?"
Half-demon.
As the name suggests, they are the offspring of humans and demons, born with the wisdom of humans and the blood advantages of demons, seemingly combining the strengths of both races.
However, due to his mixed-race status, he was not accepted by either race.
Furthermore, the further one progresses in cultivation, the more choices one must make: whether to cultivate the Nascent Soul of a human or the Nascent Soul of a demon. One cannot have both; in other words, should one cultivate demonic energy or spiritual energy?
Half-demons are extremely rare. High-level cultivators already find it difficult to have offspring, let alone those of different races. Most of these beings live in the Southern Broken Realm Mountains.
The conflict between the northern and southern demon races was partly due to the fact that the southern demon races accepted half-demons, whom these self-proclaimed orthodox individuals viewed as traitors.
If the lineage of the Beast God is regarded as an indication of ancestorship.
That means the Southern Demon Clan is right. How can they accept that? On a deeper level, if we take the path of cooperation, would the human race be willing to carve out territory for the demon race to use?
If things really went that smoothly, there would be no need to live in seclusion in the North-South Boundary Mountains. Back then, the frequent beast tides were a form of resistance and struggle.
It was also purposeful, to deplete the overly prolific lower-level demon races.
How to deal with this was a real headache for the demon.
"This alchemist Wang has really brought a lot of trouble. If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred not to sign the contract and to give up this inheritance."
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
"Lu Ming, have you informed the Azure Dragon Ancestor?"
"The message was sent in, but as before, there was no response."
--Headache!
The Northern Demon Clan already faced many problems in their quest to be included, and now they have added the issue of human desires and laws. The Five-Colored Holy Lord gradually came up with a solution.
"Leave this matter to me. Wu Yan will continue to be responsible for contacting the Fire Crow Clan of the Blazing Sun Sect. As for Alchemist Wang... his identity is a bit questionable."
"What do you mean?" King Tianpeng asked, puzzled.
"Lei Yao, the eldest daughter of the Thunderfire Abbot, went to the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest in her early years. The incident at the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect ruins occurred around that time, Your Majesty..."
Lu Ming paused suddenly as he spoke.
"Never mind, this person's identity might be rather special. Have you asked Yu Qiu about it?"
"I asked him, and he said he didn't know."
"That damned thing, still thinking about the Ancient Blood Demon Scripture. If he can really transform into a Blood Sea Demon Dragon, he should be thinking about how to help the demon race rise."
The three kings all fell silent.
Many of the guardian beasts of the various sects were dispatched by the Azure Dragon Ancestor. In addition to cooperation, they naturally had their own goals and ambitions mixed in.
The truth about the Ice Prison Realm is not a secret among top cultivators.
However, matters need to be prioritized, and it is too early to consider breaking free of the cage before reaching the pinnacle of this realm.
"In another 160 years or so, the Holy Lord's Heavenly Palace will open. The gatekeepers of the Ice Clan have contacted the Demon King of the Ice Python Clan, and it seems they are also planning something."
"These are turbulent times..."
"Let's focus on the present first. Taihu and Chiyuan are likely to get serious this time, which is our chance. King Leilin, have you made any progress on your end?"
"The Poison Dragon Demon Lord of Bone Forest is unwilling to help, but he can lend us his army of poisonous beasts. His first demon general, the Hundred-Eyed Centipede, is willing to lead three million poisonous insects to take the lead and drag Yunling Prefecture into the poisonous fog."
The four demons' conversation ranged from the Law of Human Desire to Wang Yu.
As for the current situation, apart from not touching the Southern Boundary Mountains, they have been seeking help from all sides and have done everything they can.
"Now it depends on whether the Venerable of the Sword Sect and the Venerable of the Refining Heaven Demon Sect are willing to take action. Their plan may be coming to its final implementation stage."
The conversation lasted for three days and three nights, refining various details before it was adjourned and the participants returned home.
But as time goes by...
The chaos in Fengzhou, suppressed by the Ice Demon Child, gradually became more and more rampant and insane, with the invading team from Huangquan Temple carrying out massacres of the city multiple times.
A unique and powerful tool used during wartime.
—The Banner of the Underworld Demons!
As they began to emerge, the Demon Clan also stepped onto the stage of Fengzhou, openly snatching people and sending them all into the Northern Broken Realm Mountains. This caused the number of mortals that the Demon Cat Clan could take in to gradually reach its limit.
Of the seven righteous sects of Taihu Lake, only Lei Huo Guan, Wang Yue Gong, and Bi Yun Zong are currently participating in the battle and are at the forefront, with some teams already deep in Fengzhou.
The Southern campaign of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect was suppressed by the Blood Demon Sect Master, allowing him to mobilize great cultivators to march north. At the same time, the Five Yin Peak and Heavenly Corpse Peak, two of the Nine Peaks and One Hall, began to shine brightly.
The disappearance of Wang Yu gradually attracted the attention of the Cold Blood Peak.
The situation is changing rapidly, with many changes every year. News of victories from the Eastern Battlefield of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect continues, but the battle lines are shrinking.
The members of the Underworld Mountain Sect began to show themselves, and they actually joined forces with the Yellow Springs Temple, attempting to tear a piece of flesh from the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
In this state.
Wang Yu's seclusion continued, and so... twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
During his first year of seclusion, with the blessing of multiple enlightenment treasures, Wang Yu thoroughly understood many pill formulas. In addition to cultivation and pill refining, he also completed the transaction with the demon race in the north.
He was almost completely immersed in enlightenment.
In the second year, Han Chi successfully advanced his alchemy skills, and Wang Yu's alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds, making him capable of refining fourth-grade top-quality spiritual pills. If it weren't for the limitations of materials, he would also have a good chance of trying fifth-grade spiritual pills.
That concludes the discussion.
This alchemy technique has exhausted its potential; from now on, besides studying it on my own, I can only seek a higher level of alchemy inheritance.
In the third year, the Aurora Escape Technique was perfected.
In the fourth year, he achieved minor mastery of the Blood Slaughter Heart Sword technique.
In the fifth year, he perfected the Ten Directions Frozen Demon Fist, which became his second strongest trump card after the Twelve Phases of Guanghan.
In the sixth year, the Ice Soul Divine Light reached its perfect state.
In the seventh year, he mastered a variety of miscellaneous studies, including the Earth Mother Scripture, the Earth Grudge Puppet Master Scripture, and the Secret Technique of Insect Refining, at varying stages of progress, and brought them to perfection.
Apart from the fourth-tier inherited "Five Poisons Scripture," which he has only comprehended the Gu insect part, he has basically mastered the miscellaneous skills he possesses.
The eighth year.
With the successful derivation of the Ice Soul Holy Demon Scripture, it officially became a fourth-tier cultivation technique, directly reaching the realm of perfection. Wang Yu's speed of absorbing top-grade spirit stones and accumulating demonic essence increased dramatically.
The efficiency of the three-column layout has increased from "150 strands/day" to "50 strands/day", which is more than 30 times more efficient. It's terrifying!
At this rate, he will be able to break through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage in ten years, accumulating more than two thousand drops of demonic essence, and his size will be completely different.
It is evident that his spiritual aptitude and numerous bonuses were all hampered by his cultivation technique. Now, thanks to the placement slots, his advancement is complete.
Instead, it became his advantage. Even without three times the cultivation speed, he could still improve his cultivation level by one level every thirty to fifty years. This was probably the normal advancement speed of a spiritual body's aptitude.
After all, the advantage of having a spiritual body in the Nascent Soul stage has not yet been exhausted, and it can still be helpful in breaking through to the Divine Transformation stage, so it will not be too easy.
After completing the advancement of all the cultivation techniques and secret arts at hand, Wang Yu set up a new feng shui arrangement for raising corpses in the same year, and began to assist the Thunder Corpse in reaching the fourth level.
In the ninth year, the ancient mythical insect Ice Flame Butterfly population reached a certain level, and Wang Yu raised it in the Glazed Ice Heart Tower. He selected one of the butterfly queens.
The merciless sacrifice of the Immaculate Jade Toad is pointless, as this thing is slow to lay eggs. Instead of refining it himself, he should use it to enhance the potential of the Butterfly King. A larger number of Ice Flame Butterflies can also become his trump card in the Nascent Soul stage.
Once it has emerged from its cocoon, we will no longer interfere.
In the tenth year, the Corpse Demon Secret Technique was completed to the fourth level, restoring its full state. The fusion and derivation with the Yinming Demon Dragon Technique officially began, which was also the most time-consuming goal.
This realization took ten years.
Therefore, during this seclusion, Wang Yu exhausted all the Daoist essence of the Heavenly Enlightenment Platform in his possession, and the result was naturally gratifying.
Elder Wang Yu's 86th year of service, June!
