Chapter 349: Yang Fujian Creates the "Seeking Truth Technique," Family Merit Breaks Through 4,000!
Hoo hoo hoo~
Devil Wind Forest, Wind Pool Valley.
Gang Wind, like invisible swords, shot out from the fissures in the valley and struck Yang Fujian, who was seated at the center, creating a sound like clashing metal.
Yang Fujian sat cross-legged in the center, with spiritual light flickering above his head and True Qi circulating throughout his body.
Yang Fujian was operating both True Qi and Spiritual Power simultaneously, yet the two were distinctly separate, playing on their own without merging together.
Facing the natural Gang Wind, Yang Fujian's True Qi had some difficulty coping, and his Spiritual Power also wavered precariously.
It had been seven years since he used the "Life Divine Seed," and even with the numerous treasures and elixirs from the Yang Family and the blessings from the ancestors, Yang Fujian, with his Five Spirit Roots, had only cultivated up to the eighth layer of Fetal Breathing.
The same realm as Yang Genshuo.
The ten years of cultivation Yang Genshuo gained from consuming the "Wisdom Fruit" were about the same as the seven years of hard cultivation by Yang Fujian.
With his thin Spiritual Power, this Gang Wind, capable of killing a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator, scattered Yang Fujian's Spiritual Power, penetrated the protective shield, and hit his peak Divine Power Realm body.
Leaving only a faint itching sensation.
Many people were cultivating in this piece of Wind Pool Valley, mostly Qi Refining Stage Cultivators from the Danai Dynasty.
These young cultivators, looking at Yang Fujian who remained immovable above, quietly rolled their eyes.
Why are you, a Great Cultivation, squeezing in this little practice field with us?
Are you showing off?
Yang Fujian opened his eyes, took a sweep around, and all the young cultivators quickly avoided eye contact, not daring to meet his gaze.
Yang Fujian's fierce reputation was known to all; huge Demon Beasts were killed by a single stab, instantly refined and swallowed into his stomach.
The leader of the "Beast Eating" faction.
The Martial Cultivators under his command were also rough people; they were considered the second most powerful faction in the Danai Dynasty, alongside the Beast Tamers.
Everyone focused on their cultivation, ignoring this killing god.
But no one was worried or afraid; after all, the reputation of the Yang Family's people was there for all to see, all being reasonable people.
The child of a generation master, Yang Shi, wouldn't trouble these small fry.
The Cultivators communicated with each other through Spiritual Sense.
"He has been sitting here for a year now, his cultivation growth is slow, not even as good as ours..."
"With such a powerful body, what is the use of coming here where there is no sense of crisis? One could lie down and sleep; how could that stimulate cultivation?"
"Do not speculate wildly, who does not know of the first Sword God of the two dynasties, Yang Fujian's talent? The Sword God must have some profound intention for meditating here; perhaps a new Heaven Level Martial Cultivation Technique comparable to 'Yang Family Sword' and 'Wind Cloud Steps' will be born..."
"That would still just be the crude methods of Martial Cultivators, not as good as our Immortal Laws."
"So young, and yet so conservative... Still living a hundred years in the past, aren't you? Do you know how many techniques Martial Cultivators have now? Talisman Magic Artifacts, Elixirs, Mechanisms, Hidden Weapons... They use every possible means!"
"You, beaten by a faction of Martial Cultivators, would quickly fall into line..."
Even though Yang Fujian's Immortal Realm cultivation was meager, they all envied the faint aura of Spiritual Light decorating his body.
That was the benefit of a top-tier treasure that could let one transcend mortality.
Yang Fujian, who once was merely a mortal without a Spirit Root.
Such was the terrifying foundation of the Yang Family.
Yang Fujian felt the peering gazes and their clumsy Spiritual Sense secret talks, but his heart was without ripples.
He came here to cultivate, not because he was bored and wanted to show off at his Divine Power Realm level, but because he was contemplating a problem that hadn't been solved for a long time.
What exactly is the relationship between True Qi and Spiritual Power?
Pure Martial Cultivators did not have this problem, for they only cultivated True Qi.
Pure Cultivators also did not have this problem, for they only cultivated Spiritual Power, and would occasionally strengthen their bodies but not cultivate True Qi.
This problem was only noticed by those who practice Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation.
Ever since Yang Fujian started Immortal Cultivation, he had been troubled by this.
True Qi and Spiritual Power were stored above and below the Dantian, unable to merge, and repelled each other, operating separately when used.
As a Martial Cultivator in the Divinity Realm, Yang Fujian's True Qi was somewhat stronger than the Spiritual Power of the eighth layer of Fetal Breathing, but only by a little because at his level... the body was the strongest, followed by Divine Skills, then by things like... Talisman Magic Treasures.
Lastly was True Qi.
True Qi provided very little enhancement for Martial Cultivators like Yang Fujian.
Yang Fujian thought left and right, unable to fall asleep, and from the myriad of cultivation experiences, he saw that something was wrong with two words.
Cultivation Technique.
The "Mingxin Technique" created by the Martial Saint was the key to ascending to the Divine Power Realm, and with the aid of "Visualization Technique," Martial Cultivators could enter the Divinity Realm.
But after the Divinity Realm, it lost its use.
After reaching the Divinity Realm, they stopped cultivating True Qi and started cultivating Divine Skills instead.
Divine Skills were transformations of Spiritual Sense and had little to do with True Qi.
So over the years, his True Qi remained at the Great Perfection of a grandmaster.
Just as weak as his current Spiritual Power.
Yang Fujian began to ponder a matter.
"Could it be... the Martial Saint went in the wrong direction at that time? Perhaps the Divine Power Realm is a misguided direction?"
Therefore, Yang Fujian who rarely actively sought his ancestors last year asked his ancestor for help in sending a message, allowing his brother Yang Fu to acquire a Cultivation Technique from the Immortal Martial Sect of the Lingmiao Continent.
He wanted to see how that one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects practiced Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation.
A basic Cultivation Technique wasn't hard to find; after all, which Sect hadn't had disciples die? This wasn't some top-tier inheritance but something that all disciples within the Sect would cultivate, naturally, it would also flow into the black market.
This Cultivation Technique was named "Immortal Martial Divine Body."
The name was majestic and imposing, but after studying it, Yang Fujian was extremely disappointed.
The so-called Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation, in the end, was just an Immortal Cultivation Technique that involved cultivating Spiritual Power stored in various acupoints throughout the body, supplemented with various treasures to nourish the body so that every part of it would possess mystical abilities. It was said that upon reaching great success, even every single hair would be like a Treasure, and the body would be undying and indestructible.
