Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 987 - 506: Nine Years Later
Nine years later
Between the continuous lofty mountains of the Xianjing area lies a spiritual core cave where Dao Breath gushes forth.
Tigers, leopards, jackals, bears, deer, and muntjacs have piled up as bones and furs, while spirit grass, immortal vegetables, ginseng, ganoderma, stalactites, spirit fruits, and rare treasures are scattered all over the ground. At first glance, it looks like a lair occupied by some large ferocious beast or demon.
Upon entering the cave, one sees the walls filled with True Scriptures, rows of mysterious characters and talismans clearly painted with beast blood. It feels like some ancient immortal trace or a gods and demons seal.
But all the way to the deepest part, one finds only a chubby kid wearing beast skins, his belly bulging from eating, lying on a big rock snoring till well past noon before leisurely waking up.
"What the...!"
Chen Xuantian yawned, scratched himself, stretched lazily, and wobbled out of the cave, looking up at the sun in the sky and fertilizing the flowers and grass on the ground.
The weather is really nice~~
Yes, Chen Xuantian successfully reincarnated. His body was randomly picked from the ruins of Jiangdu—a four-year-old kid whose parents were crushed to death by rocks, barely managing to shield him with their bodies, leaving him with a breath of life.
As for his natural talent, it’s just so-so. His meridians are intact, he’s healthy, his bones are correct. It’s not too much trouble to train to the Nascent Soul level. After all, with a population of millions, you can’t pick a better one, so Chen Xuantian just took it.
Of course, at the start of reincarnation, it’s always the toughest phase. Although his Primordial Spirit is quite strong and can send wolves and tigers off to die with just a glance, his body is still too weak—he couldn’t even catch a chicken.
Moreover, with the outside in chaos, demons rampant, it’s too dangerous, there’s no guarantee against unexpected disasters. So Chen Xuantian played it safe, hiding in the mountains for these nine years, practicing breathing and Qi Refining, strengthening his bones, diligently studying the Daoist Collection, and painstakingly growing from a brat to a chubby boy, finally reaching complete Qi Refining and great success in Divine Skills.
Yes, the Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Cough cough cough, alright alright, doesn’t Chen Xuantian know that the current meta is the Divine Teaching Flow! But not everyone can cultivate it right off the bat, okay!
Without medicinal elixirs, without medical preparation, without Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivation, without a magic array barrier, how could you just start with bloodlust, skinning and pulling out tendons! Either you wait for the Mystic Sect to catch wind, swoop in and slaughter demons, or for your arteries to burst, blood gushing like a spring, and die on the spot!
What? Refine the Nine Yin Sword Qi? Isn’t cutting out your heart and digging into yourself even more perilous! Didn’t you see the real Dharma King of the Divine Sect became a cripple from it! Endlessly facing tribulation, practically courting death! Are you that bored! Tie Dan could refine it because he had a bunch of ancestors covertly protecting him, basically impossible to die!
Anyway, in pursuit of stability, after integrating Peng Ju’s memories, Chen Xuantian calculated and opted to directly cultivate the Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill. Though Tie Dan might deem this skill as total garbage, even garbage has its burning value.
This skill emphasizes simultaneous cultivation of Qi Body at the early stage, not only has offensive and defensive capabilities but also a Qinggong boost. When perfected, it independently opens the governor and conception vessels, converts all acquired Gang Qi into Innate Dao Qi, and without vying for Heavenly Materials or Treasures, one completes Foundation Establishment, thus directly transitioning from martial arts to Dao, forming a Qi Sea Core, stepping onto the cultivation journey.
This training enhancement rhythm perfectly compensates for the characteristics of Chen Xuantian’s situation of strong Primordial Spirit but weak body, alongside various reincarnated beings with three corpses, being unprepared after sudden soldier disintegration, highlighting a focus on stability.
But the problem is, after all, this is mortal martial arts inner Qi Gong, cultivated by Jianghu Martial World individuals, as opposed to the Mountain Man’s Qi Refining Method, not just involving breathing and Qi Refining but also tempering bones, making the cultivation speed quite slow, yes, very slow, without Heavenly Materials Treasures or fortuitous Immortal Fate, normally taking 40 to 50 years to reach Foundation Establishment.
Kidding me, 40 to 50 years and Tie Dan would’ve obliterated the Taiji Realm already...
Fortunately, after merging with Peng Ju, this wasn’t Chen Xuantian’s first cultivation of the skill, those three corpses being diligent and rigorous, wouldn’t go off course even with eyes closed, the accumulated training level from past lives could be directly utilized, extremely convenient.
Plus, with thorough refinement and enhancements by his primary incarnation, Earth Sect Leader, Sword Sect disciple, it had been significantly elevated in grade, upgrading from garbage to annotated garbage.
Moreover, Chen Xuantian himself could have his Primordial Spirit emerge, venture into the mountains for resources, scouring Xianjing’s two mountains for all kinds of Heavenly Materials Treasures, ensuring a balance of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and making the cultivation of this skill remarkably efficient. In just nine years, he achieved complete mastery of this divine skill, opened the governor and conception vessels, converted Qi to Innate, and completed Foundation Establishment.
Aye, but so slow indeed. Nine years just to establish a foundation, while Tie Dan has reached Nascent Soul stage thrice, seeing such comparison is infuriating...
Cough cough, oh well, oh well, you can’t compare to those with hacks. Besides, his task was originally to buy time for Tie Dan anyway, so being slow isn’t a big deal.
Finally squatting till Foundation Establishment, Chen Xuantian finally felt he had the power to protect himself and could go out for training.
Yes, staying in wasn’t viable either, as those Heavenly Materials Treasures from the nearby mountains have been consumed entirely, only barely enough to establish a foundation. To form a core, one must venture into the world, striving for celestial Dao fate, survival of the fittest, this is the rule of Taiji Heaven.
