Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 525 - 237: Initiating the Formless Tribulation Heart Sutra, Five-Colored Divine Light, Slaying the Void Beast, and the Approaching Combat Exam
The following days.
Xu Guang continued his cultivation, spending most of his energy during this period of meditation on enhancing his combat power.
In terms of combat power, there are many aspects in which he can grow.
Replacement of martial techniques, combination and use of divine techniques, etc.
The entry-level learning of the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing martial technique was much more difficult than he imagined. He clearly had a sense of it, but when performed, it was much weaker than expected.
He didn’t know where the problem was.
Though the martial technique cultivation wasn’t going smoothly, he achieved significant gains in the consolidation and transformation of his Five Elements Qi Force.
During his last days in Li Taizhou, together with Xiu Miaoran from the Celestial Yin Sect and others, he killed a Chaos Void Beast, from which he obtained the Phoenix Tail Virtual Core of the Chaos Void Beast.
This virtual core can unleash a technique of Five-Colored Divine Light, capable of both attack and defense, somewhat similar to the divine techniques of the Peacock Clan, sweeping away all impurities.
With the advantage of the Extreme Soul Power and joint cultivation of the Five Elements, part of the characteristics of the Five-Colored Divine Light emerged in his Extreme Soul Power.
This was indeed a very notable gain.
"The growth of the Extreme Soul Power cannot stop either..."
However, concerning the inheritance of the Emperor Palace, Xu Guang dared not rely on others. The Celestial Register was not a particularly valuable thing in Hongze, and if anyone became curious about why Xu Guang was collecting a large number of Celestial Registers, it would be hard to explain.
Being new here, Xu Guang planned to proceed as steadily as possible.
...
Morning.
Under the Emperor Tower deep in the mountains.
Xu Guang took a deep breath, calming his mind.
He entered the tall tower.
An old man, appearing to be over eighty years old, blocked the way, "Do you have an appointment?"
Xu Guang respectfully clasped his fists, "I already have an appointment."
He simultaneously handed over his crystal nameplate.
The old man glanced casually, "Twenty-third floor, Room Bingzi, Inspector Lin Ao Xue is already waiting inside."
Following the old man’s guidance, Xu Guang entered the Emperor Tower for the first time. It’s a place for practicing martial techniques, and ascending through the stairs, the martial imprints left by countless predecessors, deepening the Martial Dao, echoed in every corridor.
Arriving at the door of Room Bingzi on the twenty-third floor, Xu Guang gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A cool and crisp voice came from inside.
Xu Guang pushed the door open and entered; Lin Ao Xue was already waiting there.
Every training room in the Emperor Tower is incredibly spacious, and it seems to have some peculiar spatial technique. From what Xu Guang could see, the area exceeded thirty mu, more than enough for a sparring match in the same realm.
Every room is lined with numerous Feng Shui Arrays, able to convert the entire room into any desired environment, simulating martial techniques in various conditions.
On the artificial hill in the middle, a figure stood.
Lin Ao Xue, in a black martial arts uniform, exuded a cool temperament, with a delicate appearance and sharp eyes.
Seeing Xu Guang, she was a bit surprised, "So it’s you."
Xu Guang smiled slightly, "Apologies for troubling you, Inspector Lin."
He came specifically to cultivate the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing, and among the renowned instructors, there were experts designated to guide in various brilliant martial techniques of the Northern Emperor Institute, Lin Ao Xue being one of them. For over half a month, Xu Guang struggled to get started with the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing. Now in the Northern Emperor Institute, he didn’t have to ponder it himself, just spending the money.
The Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing, this martial technique, is quite famous in the Northern Emperor Institute; many have attempted to cultivate it, but few have succeeded.
Fortunately, Lin Ao Xue was one of the successful ones.
Of course, the fee wasn’t cheap. A single session required three thousand Demon Slaying Merits, and along with the Emperor Tower fees, Xu Guang spent over six thousand Demon Slaying Merits in total.
"Have you cultivated the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing?"
Xu Guang nodded.
"I heard you are from Li Taizhou?"
She couldn’t help being curious. The Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing is not cheap, and Xu Guang clearly comes from an ordinary background without any apparent backing. Accumulating enough merits to exchange for the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing so quickly was indeed rare.
Xu Guang didn’t answer.
Lin Ao Xue also knew her limits and didn’t press further.
"The key to the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing lies in the strength of Divine Thought; how is your Divine Thought strength?"
Xu Guang hesitated for a moment, "It should be alright..."
Lin Ao Xue frowned, "Alright? Divine Thought is very important. Without sufficient Divine Thought, no amount of effort will allow you entry. Follow me."
She led Xu Guang behind the artificial hill in the room, where a piece of ice-blue crystal lay.
"Use your Divine Thought Power to impact this crystal."
Xu Guang nodded slightly, and immediately, waves of Divine Thought Power surged from his body.
In the room, an eerie wind seemed to sweep through, and Lin Ao Xue’s eyes widened slightly.
This...
The crystal suddenly flared brilliantly, the dazzling light somewhat blinding.
A moment later.
Lin Ao Xue looked at Xu Guang with complex emotions.
"You..."
She hadn’t expected Xu Guang’s Divine Thought Power to be so strong, at least ten times that of an ordinary Third Grade in the same realm.
"Is this level of Divine Thought strength enough to cultivate the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing?"
Xu Guang looked at Lin Ao Xue with curiosity.
Lin Ao Xue: ...
"It’s enough. Next, I will explain some key points of cultivating the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing, and you can try using the techniques of the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing on me."
Xu Guang had no intention of hiding anything; with a thought, layers of Qi surged around him, and amidst a breathtaking scene, sword light roared but vanished suddenly into thin air.
This is the essence of spiritual martial techniques, the attack appearing in a seam between reality and illusion.
Lin Ao Xue’s previously calm eyes gradually showed a ripple of emotion.
Xu Guang’s Divine Thought attack wasn’t complex. Many beginners often complicated the initial cultivation due to the fame of the Wu Xiang Jie Xin Jing, and their attacks were similarly overly complicated.
