Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 691 - 441: Black Coffin_2

```

This secret technique was quite popular back then, as all the Grand Cultivators knew that the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands were merely drinking poison to quench one’s thirst, failing to solve the fundamental issue.

Let alone Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, even the Immortal Realm Buddha Land would eventually need to be unsealed, otherwise it would be stricken by heavenly condemnation.

Once the Immortal Realm Buddha Land was unsealed, the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit was sure to recover, and the era of cultivation prosperity from the Ancient Times would reappear in the human world.

This was the expectation of all Cultivators, but clearly not all could afford to wait. Who knew when the Immortal Realm Buddha Land would be unsealed? All below the Tribulation Realm had a lifespan limit, and even Mahayana could not withstand the wear and tear of tens of thousands of years.

In order to wait for the unsealing of the Immortal Realm and the return of the cultivation glory days, many a Grand Cultivator used methods similar to this Black Coffin Secret Art, sealing themselves within coffins, quietly waiting for the right moment.

The Three Ancestors of Fulong were such examples. These three were Ancient Cultivators, figures from who knows how many ages ago. According to the lifespan of Return to Void Cultivators, they should have turned to ashes long ago, but instead, they survived to this day with the help of the Black Coffin Secret Art.

Had Xu Yang not meddled, they might have truly waited until the Immortal Realm Buddha Land was unsealed.

The same was true for Fulong Mountain, and other Cave Heaven Blessed Lands were no exception. Countless Ancient Grand Cultivators and favored sons of heaven within the Tao Body Immortal Womb were sealed in coffins, waiting for the unsealing of the Immortal Realm Buddha Land and the restoration of the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit, ready to break from their coffins and continue their path.

Xu Yang also showed great interest in this profound secret art.

Although he himself did not need it, whether it was Skill Characteristics or Earth Deity Law, both could extend his lifespan, granting him immortality. But he was him, and others were others; not everyone could be like him.

While Earth Deity Law could prolong life, it required a massive amount of resources to nurture the Spirit Land. Even the Wandao School could not satisfy everyone. Apart from that top tier of Grand Cultivators, others simply couldn’t afford it. Even if they could, they couldn’t extend their life indefinitely. Without becoming a True Immortal, they would eventually turn to ashes and smoke.

In this case, the role of the Black Coffin Secret Art became evident.

Just imagine, by utilizing the Black Coffin Secret Art to freeze all the Cultivators nearing their life’s end, transforming them into the foundation of the Wandao School. When necessary, unleash them onto the battlefield...

What sort of scene would that be?

A group of high-tier Cultivators with nearing lifespans, fearless and fierce in battle, would certainly be a force that could influence the outcome of the war.

That’s what the world of Cave Heaven Blessed Lands did. Who knows how many old monsters nearing the end of their lifespan self-sealed within coffins, becoming the foundation of their Sect, ready to emerge from meditation and fight to the death when facing powerful enemies, willingly entering mutual destruction if necessary, all to vanquish the strong adversaries of their Sect.

If they could do it, so could Xu Yang. Although the Wandao School didn’t have any fatal enemies at present, the lack of them now didn’t mean there wouldn’t be any in the future.

Whether it was the Divine Martial World or the World of Dao and Law, both harbored hidden demonic troubles that could erupt at any moment.

It was essential to take precautions before it rained. The Black Coffin Secret Art held major strategic value!

It must be acquired!

Besides the Black Coffin Secret Art, there were many other unique Mana Points that made Xu Yang glimpse the potentiality of this world. Explore more at novelbuddy

The Black Coffin Secret Art was just the beginning. A world where Heavenly Immortals existed surely had more than this minor technique.

There were even more Great Divine Powers waiting for him; even the Eighth Order Heavenly Mechanics Methods that the Earth Immortal Realm struggled to progress in might have the chance of unfolding in this realm.

Of course, this was provided he could obtain the inheritances and techniques of those Heavenly and Earth Immortals.

The responsibilities were heavy and the road was long!

Putting away the Jade Slip, the post-battle harvest came to an end.

As Xu Yang descended the mountain, he saw a group of various birds and beasts prostrating themselves before the ruins of the mountain gate.

"Coo coo~coo coo!"

"Screech!!!"

"Roar roar roar!"

Upon seeing Xu Yang descending, the beasts immediately became restless, but soon lay prostrate on the ground again.

Seeing this, Xu Yang also smiled, "You all being here is also by fate. Would you enter my observer’s gate?"

Although this was human speech, the meaning was clear to the beasts, who immediately knelt and bowed.

"Good!"

Xu Yang smiled, and with a sweep of his horsetail whisk, specks of Sprit Light flew out and entered the brains of the beasts, "This is the Supreme Yin Body Refining Technique. Cultivate well here and do not let your master down."

"Coo coo!"

"Roar roar!"

"Woo woo!"

The rejoicing beasts brought life to the quiet Fulong Mountain.

Xu Yang stood with a contented smile, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

The Shu Region was mountainous, and the mountains were home to many mysteries. Though these birds and beasts had lived in the mountains without the nourishment of Fulong Mountain’s Spiritual Energy, time had granted them some spirit over the years.

They had grown old and wise, and had just happened to be at the right place when Fulong Mountain’s Blessed Land collapsed, absorbing a portion of the spiritual rain, giving them the potential to transform into Spirit Monsters.

Thus, Xu Yang took the opportunity to take them under his wing as the first batch of Disciples for this "Second Base".

After all, Fulong Mountain was huge, and there were future large-scale farming and development plans. How could he and those dozen captives possibly keep up with everything on their own?

```

With this batch of disciples, future development is bound to be rapid.

As for sectarian biases and the distinction between humans and beasts, those have never been related to Xu Yang. In fact, compared to some so-called humans, these wet-hatched birds and beasts seem more innocent and simple, loyal and faithful.

Leading these disciples, Xu Yang returned to the mountains and began to consider the next steps in development.

Relying on the power of merits, he entered the Immortal Martial Pill Realm, and in this mundane world, he could say he had no equals.

Again, unbeatable in the world!

But this was only true within the mundane realm.

Currently, he had two major enemies, neither of which belonged to this mundane sphere.

First, the Desire Realm Demon!

The impact of the Red Moon night was fermenting. The forces of various Heretic God Sects and the Claws and Fangs of the Heavenly Demon were growing stronger. He must firmly eliminate them and not allow them to burgeon, exacerbating the Desire Realm’s erosion of this world.

Second, the Great Cavern Heavens.

The strength of the Great Cavern Heavens doesn’t need to be said—home to True Immortals, Calamity Immortals, and Mahayana Cultivators sealed within the Black Coffin.

Although he could "ascend to the heavens to listen" and summon the Heavenly Tribulation, not every Cave Heaven could do the same.

The Heavenly Dao is like a board of directors—every living being in the world is a shareholder of this board, with certain rights. The stronger one is, the larger the shares and the higher the authority.

With Xu Yang’s current power, he could only bully the likes of Fulong Mountain, a Blessed Land on the verge of collapse. He was powerless against the Great Cavern Heavens. The positions of those True Immortals and Calamity Immortals were sufficient to counteract his rituals.

Therefore, he could not move against the Great Cavern Heavens for now, nor even attack the second Blessed Land. Otherwise, it would create a situation where everyone felt endangered, and if any Cavern Heaven were to lash out and dispatch a Grand Cultivator, all of his painstaking efforts would go up in smoke.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, there exist millennium Flat Peaches and Nine-Eyed Bodhi—treasures that help transcend tribulations. Xu Yang didn’t believe such treasures didn’t exist in this world. For now, the Heavenly Tribulation could only serve as a deterrent, for defense and counterattack. Until his power reached a certain level, he couldn’t recklessly make enemies with the world.

So, the next step was clear—development, all-around development.

As for Xu Yang’s plans, they were already formed, without saying too much.

It was just one thing he hesitated over.

Should he use the resources he had to refine Xuanyuan, or save up for a Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor?

With limited resources at present, investing too much into Xuanyuan would leave him unable to assemble the Mech Armor.

Yet this world, being eroded by the Desire Realm Demon, is a rare opportunity to acquire a large amount of Heavenly Dao merits. Not refining Xuanyuan and forging the Nine Rituals would indeed be a flagrant waste of resources.

Just as Xu Yang was wrestling with this happy dilemma...

Elsewhere, as the live stream ended and the impact fermented, various parties moved swiftly.

"Bang!"

In a certain villa, the door was smashed open. A team poured in and quickly carried out a pale-faced middle-aged man.

"Isn’t that Director Chen? Where are you hurrying to?"

Two men approached, took out a document, and spoke to the pale-faced Chen Mingshan, "Chen Mingshan, you are suspected of severe criminal activity. You are now relieved of your position as Director of the Eastern District Security Bureau’s Supervision Department. Here’s your arrest warrant, please come with us!"

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mingshan was jolted awake, screaming desperately like a drowning man clutching at straws, "You can’t do this, I want to see the Chief, I want to see the Chief!"

The officers just smiled and replied, "Don’t worry, you will see him!"

As they said this, Chen Mingshan was struck as if by lightning, collapsing to the ground, utterly distraught.

Meanwhile...

"Bang!!!"

In another villa, the door was similarly broken down. The pale-faced Ye Chen was dragged out by several fully-armed Security Bureau officers in front of a mature, professional woman in a suit—Ning Qing.

Ning Qing looked at Ye Chen with a cold expression, likewise producing an arrest warrant, "Ye Chen, you have plotted an armed action, harmed others’ lives, embezzled others’ property... among seventy-two charges. Now, by order of the Federal Supreme Council, you are stripped of your position as Eastern District Councilor and all your duties. Here’s the arrest warrant!"

"..."

Ye Chen, pale-faced, suddenly stood up, crying out hoarsely, "Do you think by selling out the Ye Family, you can make peace with those people? I’m telling you, he..."

"Bang!!!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck and silenced.

Watching Ye Chen pass out, Ning Qing’s expression remained unchanged as she waved her hand, "Take him away!"

"Yes!"
