Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

In the days that followed, Zheng Fa and Zhang seemed to return to their familiar lives of the past.

The method of researching "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" remained the same.

Zheng Fa proposed various conjectures, Zhang used her Primordial Spirit Dao Body to conduct experiments and provide feedback.

From Zhang's feedback, Zheng Fa would modify the cultivation technique approach.

The principle of "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Technique" is simple to state, but in practical operation, the complexity far exceeds other techniques—without false modesty, this method is much more complex than the "Great Freedom True Skill" left by the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor.

According to Zheng Fa's idea, mimicking the human body is a kind of transformation technique; from this logic, the "Great Freedom True Skill" to some extent still belongs to "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation": of course, simulation and simulation differ, the Demon Ancestor's technique has its unique features, which cannot be denied.

Hence, it can be seen that the complexity and vastness of the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend" technique as imagined by Zheng Fa, as per Zheng Fa's estimation, the complexity of this technique... approximately ten Great Freedoms.

Conversely, this complexity is also due to Zheng Fa's ambition:

The "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" in his mind is capable of infinite changes, whether tangible or intangible, sentient or non-sentient, even the various cultivators and divine beasts in the Xuanwei Realm.

Even... it includes means of manipulating creation and reversing Yin and Yang.

It can be said that this cultivation technique starts low, but it has no end!

All of the above were things Zheng Fa bragged about to Zhang while blowing smoke.

Zhang just listened and smiled without speaking, but her gaze... inexplicably made him feel a bit pampered.

It seemed she somewhat doubted the technique could truly succeed.

Actually, not only did Zhang not believe it, if not for Zheng Fa having two major advantages, he wouldn't dare have such wild fantasies:

The first is that he possesses the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light—

To simulate other objects, one must first ascertain the essence of the thing:

The scanning ability of the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light on various spiritual materials helps him understand the structures of various spiritual materials, which serves as a major source of his confidence.

Secondly, his greatest source of confidence has always been the modern world.

Leaving aside spiritual energy, the modern exploration of various biotic and abiotic entities has been extremely thorough.

This knowledge is an excellent supplement to the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation":

At least when simulating various objects without spiritual energy, he has a vast amount of reference materials.

These things may be more precious than the Positive and Negative Five Elements Divine Light.

In other words, if it were someone else, the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" would be a cumbersome and profitless endeavor.

Only Zheng Fa, after accumulating step by step in two worlds, now wishes to create this true skill, sensing a natural progression, as if the fruit is ripe for the picking.

There is no technique more fitting for the saying knowledge is power than what Zheng Fa has envisaged.

Daydreaming aside, at present, whether from cultivation or knowledge accumulation standpoint, Zheng Fa still cannot mimic all matter, transforming into myriad forms; what he can now accomplish is the most realistic goal, simulating cultivation techniques—that is, as Xie Qingxue mentioned, altering his aura.

After all, the concerns of the Five Sects Alliance still linger, and the first test the "Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation" must undergo is concealing cultivation methods that may relate Zheng Fa to Tianhe Venerable—including the "Jiushan Golden Core Method".

Speaking of the Five Sects Alliance, from the intelligence Xie Qingxue reveals with her talkative nature, it appears the Five Sects are still in dispute—

The main point of contention is the location.

It is apparent that the Five Sects don't quite trust each other, each wanting to host the alliance meeting on their own turf.

On the other hand, due to the death of the Great Freedom Demon Emperor, these people are also in no hurry.

After all, in the eyes of those with Dao Fruit, a couple of years may not be much different from a couple of minutes for mortals.

Zheng Fa is even less anxious, wishing they would argue a bit more, ideally until he can deal with each Dao Fruit with a single punch.

"Changing cultivation methods is actually the simplest."

Senior Sister Zhang sat cross-legged on the bed, her white plain clothes seemingly transparent, her skin like clear sky-blue glass, with the Eight Meridians and various acupoints within her dantian clearly visible.

Within her dantian, the three-headed Nascent Soul was puffing a small face, plump hands forming a hand seal, the aura surrounding her suddenly changed—into something Zheng Fa found very familiar.

"Shenxiao Golden Core?"

Zheng Fa remarked in surprise.

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, her mouth suddenly curving slightly with a touch of smugness: "Recently, studying the Jiushan Golden Core Method, I gained some insights into the Primordial Spirit Dao Body."

"Your Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation..."

"Seems to have something in common with my Primordial Spirit Dao Body."

It appears so!

It's just that the simulation ability of the Primordial Spirit Dao Body stops at inner spiritual power, with no changes in appearance, form, and the material level.

Zheng Fa felt quite excited inside, he spoke to Senior Sister Zhang, "Once this cultivation technique is perfected, it would be incredibly suitable for you, Senior Sister Zhang!"

Zheng Fa's eyes sparkled, with the joy in his pupils seemingly overflowing, spilling over into Senior Sister Zhang's heart.

She couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zheng Fa continued speaking; in front of others, he rarely discusses his hopes and outlooks, sometimes even appearing overly humble.

But before Senior Sister Zhang, he is different:

"This 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation', it can be said to be the culmination of the exclusive techniques of our Jiushan Sect, without your 'Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method', without 'Jiushan Golden Core Method', there would not be 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation'."

"This method, complete and self-sufficient, can be turned into an unique technique exclusive to our Jiushan Realm in the future, perhaps even forming a Dao Fruit?"
