Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Solidifying the Root of Heaven and Earth

Translator: 549690339

The descriptions of the Immortal Way in “The Technique of Sensing Energy with the Five Spirits” made Li Fan feel more and more horrified the more he read.

Everything seemed relatively normal up until the Golden Core Stage, with the consumption of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy, the emulation of Earth’s Oddities, and the peeping of the Law of Heaven and Earth.

However, when it came to the Nascent Soul Stage, things started to go crazy.

Stealing the Essence of Heaven and Earth, extracting the Pith of Heaven and Earth, and offering the Spirit of Heaven and Earth..

Even up to the point of going contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth.

Simply reading these phrases would make anyone’s heart jump out in fear.

The Heavenly Dao is high above, nurturing all beings.

The cultivators who practice in such a way are essentially antagonizing Heaven, acting against all principles.

What does this mean, don’t these cultivators know?

However, the progress that can be made through this cultivation method is too rapid.

The book records that since the sovereign Immortal began to teach, a large number of mortals who were originally unable to cultivate have risen to prominence in just a few decades.

Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation cultivators emerge one after another like bamboo shoots after a rainstorm.

The prosperity of the Immortal Cultivation World at that time was truly staggering, with Golden Cores scattered across the land and Nascent Souls worthless as dogs.

How many of the Immortality cultivators who originally adhered to the ancient method can resist trying the method of the Immortal Sovereign when their own Cultivation is easily surpassed by mere mortals?

Thus, ancient methods gradually declined and the new ones took over.

A thousand years after the new method became widespread, the glory of the Immortal Cultivation World reached its peak.

Unfortunately, the principle of Heaven is clear, all that flourishes eventually wanes.

Innumerable cultivators, as greedy as wolves and tigers, indiscriminately plundered the resources of Heaven and Earth.

Even increasingly frequent Heavenly Tribulations couldn’t suppress the growing number of cultivators.

Thus, one day, the retaliation of the Heavenly Dao came.

Great changes happened in Heaven and Earth, and the Great Calamity descended.

From then on, different methods of Immortal cultivation could no longer be practiced together!

The prosperous Immortal Cultivation World suffered a heavy blow as if it had been hit on the head by a baton.

The cultivators fell into endless mutual killing for a glimmer of hope.

For a long time, the Immortal Cultivation World had a desolate and declining atmosphere.

It took thousands of years before it gradually recovered.

Today’s cultivators have become accustomed to the malicious intent of Heaven and Earth.

They learned from the lessons of the past and established a new order of Immortal Cultivation on the wasteland of Cultivation after the Great Calamity.

After introducing the origins of today’s Immortal Cultivation World, the book covers the “Five Spirit Sensing Qi Method”.

If a person who has removed the miasma is unable to easily draw energy into their body, they can cultivate their own five spirits, forcefully absorbing the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to refine it and break through to the Energy Refining Stage.

The so-called Five Spirits refer to the five emotions that people are born with. Greed, fear, rage, hatred, and egotism.

These five emotions lurk in the human heart, inexhaustible and everlasting.

The Five Spirit Sensing Qi Method uses these Five Spirits as fuel to cultivate the [Root of Heaven and Earth] in the Dantian.

The Root of Heaven and Earth connects the cultivator’s Dantian to Heaven and Earth. Once it is formed, the cultivator can draw in the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth through it and make it their own.

Compared to the ancient method of cultivation that relies on innate talent, the Five Spirit Sensing Qi Method emphasizes stability.

Those with excellent talent can cultivate the Root of Heaven and Earth in just one day and night, stepping onto the path of cultivation.

Even those without any cultivation talent can form their own Root of Heaven and Earth through constant perseverance, at most within ten years.

Having mastered the method of drawing energy into the body, from then on, Li Fan secluded himself daily at home to cultivate “The Technique of Sensing Energy with the Five Spirits”.

Despite being prepared for the possibility that his cultivation journey might not be smooth sailing,

Day after day, three years passed, but Li Fan still couldn’t successfully draw in energy.

Li Fan was fully aware of his Cultivation talent, he was average, not a genius, but definitely not mediocre.

The current situation had another reason behind it.

“Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell… indeed, it is difficult to predict whether it’s a curse or blessing,” Li Fan felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

This technique of sensing energy with the Five Spirits required five kinds of emotions as fuel to promote the formation of the Root of Heaven and Earth. However, Li Fan practiced the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, resulting in a scarcity of these five emotions.

Even if he did not deliberately operate the Heart-Refining Spell, it was akin to an instinct, spontaneously crushing these negative emotions in his Spirit Consciousness.

This was akin to moving forward with a burden, which also led to Li Fan’s extremely slow progress.

Li Fan also once tried to not use the Root of Heaven and Earth, and draw qi into his body by himself.

However, he clearly did not have the talent that Xiao Heng had.

The spiritual energy outside his body completely ignored him.

Without guidance from others, if he had to fumble on his own, Li Fan really was unsure how long it would take to draw qi into his body.

Therefore, Li Fan still decided to honestly break through to the Energy

Refining Stage using the “The Technique of Sensing Energy with the Five Spirits. ”

Though it was slow, it had the advantage of being stable.

What Li Fan was not lacking was time.

In the beginning of those three years, He Zhenghao also occasionally sent people to inquire about Li Fan’s cultivation progress.

However, after a long period without any progress from Li Fan, fewer people were sent to inquire.

On the side of Tianbao Building, due to the presence of Li Fan and Xiao Heng, although they no longer had Wanhua Commercial Association backing them, the operating conditions on neighboring islands seemed to improve instead.

Nobody wanted to offend a business that might be backed by an Immortal Teacher; everyone tried to avoid conflicts with the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Treasures as much as possible.

During these three years, Pavilion of Ten Thousand Treasures aggressively expanded its market, showing an impressive upward trend.

Yin Yuzhen gained even more confidence, clasped her hands in anticipation, as she attempted to return to Moonlit Island and regain control of the Tianbao Building headquarters.

Li Fan only occasionally paid attention to matters of the outside world.

The majority of his effort was focused on nurturing the Root of Heaven and Earth.

What was regrettable is that this matter was indeed not something that could be rushed.

Li Fan estimated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would still need about two more years to succeed.

He had been confined to his house for a long time, and one day, Li Fan, in his stillness, felt a sudden urge to go out and take a walk.

Without alarming anyone, he changed his clothes, put on a felt hat, and entered the market of Liuli Island.

Compared to three years ago, it seemed as though nothing had changed.

The sound of haggling, calling out to attract customers, playing and horsing around could be heard incessantly.

Being here, Li Fan felt a long-lost “human flavor.”

Various thoughts in his mind, like withered seedlings getting nourishment, sprouted in large quantity.

Just at this moment, the progress of the Root of Heaven and Earth was higher than his three days of shut-in cultivation at home.

Li Fan suddenly had a realization.

For ordinary cultivators, retreat cultivation and quiet meditation were necessary because ordinary people simply didn’t lack the Five Spirits used as fuel.

But Li Fan was in a special situation. The Heart-Refining Spell was always operating in his mind, transforming these stray thoughts into nutrients for his powerful spirit.

And the Technique of Sensing Energy with the Five Spirits was obviously not as advanced as the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, it couldn’t snatch much, and could only pick up some leftovers.

At present, Li Fan couldn’t change this situation. If he wanted to accelerate the development speed of the Root of Heaven and Earth, he needed to increase the generation of stray thoughts in his mind every day.

Retreat cultivation every day was clearly not feasible; he needed to involve himself in worldly affairs.

Once he figured this out, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel delighted.

It seemed that perhaps he wouldn’t need two years to step into the Energy Refining Stage.

“Elder Li?” At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.

Li Fan turned around, took a clear look at the person’s face, hesitated for a moment before he remembered who it was.

It turned out to be the captain of the Liuli Island’s ship Cang Yuan – Zhang Haobo, with whom he had once brushed past in life..
