Chapter 12: Divine Ability Cultivation Plans for the Future

  A fat monk with a sullen face heard Wang Guang's words, turned his head and said nothing, turned around and walked towards another part of the mountain valley. Along the way, the demon-subduing pestle flew up and down, smashing some road-blocking monsters' brains to pieces, their limbs crippled. Where could you see even half a bit of compassion that a monk should have?

  Wang Guang saw the monk leave, and he didn't want to continue staying here being pointed at and ridiculed by other Qi practitioners, so he also turned around and walked in another direction. Along the way, he encountered some demonic beasts, and without hesitation, he used his copper lock to strike them down, beating many of the demonic beasts until their bones were broken and their tendons were torn, and there was no sign of the words he had spoken earlier about loving small animals.

  "These two little brats have no shame! They speak nonsense, tell the brothers, from now on, to minimize contact with these two little brats, lest they corrupt our own brothers." A sly and cunning practitioner of dark energy, squatting under a rock, looked up at the woman on top of the rock and muttered to a sturdy-looking man.

  "Big brother is right, but there's no rush now. Let's appreciate the scenery here first, and it won't be late to go back and tell our brothers later." The man wiped the saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth and gazed longingly at the women on the stone, saying in a low voice.

  "It's good this way, the scenery here is beautiful, but it's a rare place."

  Not to mention these practicing qigong men who are peeping at the beautiful places of girls, or flirting with young women, just talk about Wang Guang.

  After changing to a new gathering point for the demon beasts, he felt stifled in his heart. The scene of him fighting with that fat monk kept replaying in his mind. Every time he thought about the monk's extremely troublesome methods, he felt a thread of familiarity.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! So that bald donkey was also someone from the bloody depths of Jianghu back then, no wonder he's so ruthless and his words are so vile. He must have come to the Cultivation World due to having a Great Round Completion from birth as well. It's just that our sects are different, that's all!" Thinking this, Wang Guang swept away the suffocation in his heart, feeling delighted and at ease that he had found someone of the same kind in the Cultivation World. "As long as we don't become enemies in the future, he'll definitely be a good companion."

  He walked and stopped, soon finding another gathering point of demonic beasts. Here, three black dog demons gathered, although the number was small, but they couldn't withstand the ferocity of the demonic beasts! Alone facing three heads that could spit out black smoke, it really made him spend a lot of effort, in the most critical moment, he almost lost his arm and leg.

  He spent several days and nights, this guy only went out to rest and recover his mind, every day he was here looking for a demon beast to fight alone. During this time, several teams wanted to recruit him, but he refused them all. On the one hand, his own training was more effective than team training, on the other hand, he had to find a safe place every day to transport his magic power and absorb the essence of the sun and moon to temper his magic power. Unlike others who only absorbed crystal stone spirit power to increase their magic power.

  That day, Wang Guang was brushing monsters when he suddenly felt a movement in his heart. He saw a green light drilling out of the void, and the green light surrounded him for three to five circles before exploding in front of him, forming a light screen.

  On the light screen, words appeared: "Inner disciple Wang Guang, today is the sect's lecture day. You have delayed seven lectures and if you delay again this time, you must pay the sect 10,000 crystal stones within a year. If not, the sect will expel you forever."

  The light screen dissipated, and Wang Guang didn't dare to delay any longer. Although he had made a lot of crystal stones by selling the Hundred Miles Flowing Light, he had converted all of them into Purple Energy. "Listening to the Tao is not bad either," he thought. "Although it will delay my training time, it can deepen my understanding of the Taoist techniques and methods. Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity to cultivate my spiritual powers, I have gained a deeper understanding of cultivation during this period."

  Thinking of this, he crushed the transmission symbol and arrived outside the valley. The outside of the valley is still the same as before, with teams training everywhere, and there are also stalls selling things. Roughly looking around, it hasn't changed much since he came here dozens of days ago.

  He took out a set of Baoliu Guang from his treasure bag and sprayed out a mouthful of Fa Li, only to see seven or eight blue gems wrapped around his body, which then transformed into a blue light that flew towards the inner mountain.

  All the way without a word, after arriving at Neishan, Wang Guang pressed down on Baoguang and landed directly under the big tree in the courtyard.

  Over a hundred young qigong practitioners sat cross-legged around the base of a large tree, under which an elderly Daoist held a scroll and recited from it.

  Nor did he know what was recorded in that book, sometimes reciting the cultivation of Taoist techniques, and sometimes reciting the refining of magical artifacts. For six periods, this old Taoist talked about the transportation of the Dharma Gate, the skills of dual cultivation, the swallowing and spitting of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the tempering of treasures, and the making of spiritual symbols, as well as more than a dozen other knowledge.

  Although this lecture was quite rough and tasteless, Wang Guang's gain was not small. It turned out that this lecture made him understand his own cultivation of the law more deeply.

  After the many practitioners had dispersed, Wang Guang waved his hand to brush off the dust, stepped forward and bowed his head in respect: "Infinite Heaven Venerable! I, a humble Daoist, wish to learn a divine ability, but I don't know if my senior brother has any instructions or reminders."

  "Divine ability! Divine ability! You can't even reach the third layer of the Law Gate now, you can't fly or escape, and you can't swallow clouds or spit out fog. Why not solidify your foundation first, and then seek divine ability?" The old Taoist opened his eyes and scanned Wang Guang with a glance, saying: "The cultivation of divine ability is the most exhausting of one's magical power. It's the worst door in the sect, every day absorbing three to five times the amount of magical power that a third-layer cultivator gains from meditation. Your daily increase in magical power isn't even as much as what the divine ability absorbs, and if this continues for long, not to mention condensing the Golden Elixir to achieve immortality, I'm afraid you'll lose your magical power, and your life won't be preserved either."

  "In the sect, every year there are people with exceptional innate talents who cultivate divine abilities. However, except for a few lucky ones, all others ultimately end up in vain. Originally having the potential to condense golden elixirs, they lose this opportunity due to the consumption of their divine abilities."

  "Senior brother! I'm just absorbing the spiritual energy from the elixirs, crystal stones and spirit fruits to cultivate my divine abilities, without using my own magical powers. In that case, even if my divine abilities don't succeed, it's just a waste of some time." Wang Guang said with a wave of his hand and a smirk on his face.

  "Alright! In terms of spiritual powers, I don't have much to teach you, after all, I haven't cultivated any myself. Just let me tell you, if you abandon a spiritual power on your own, unless you are reborn, you will never be able to cultivate it again in this life. Even if you use clever methods to cultivate the spiritual power, it's still the same."

  Wang Guang nodded to show that he knew. The old Taoist saw that Wang Guang still looked nonchalant, so he didn't bother saying anything else.

  After bowing and thanking the other party, Wang Guangyang was about to leave when the old Taoist suddenly spoke up: "For these days, don't make any more Hundred Miles Flowing Light. The sect will give you a thousand crystal stones per month as a technical equity for making Hundred Miles Flowing Light."

  "What's going on?" Wang Guang looked at the old Taoist in front of him with a puzzled face.

  "The circulation of Qi has changed, and for some reason the barrier between the two worlds has disappeared. More and more cultivators are coming to this world. Although we inner sect cultivators don't care much about crystal stones, they are still needed for some formations and restrictions. The sect wants to accumulate more crystal stones, so it has been decided that the production of the Hundred Mile Flowing Light artifact will be taken over by the sect. No other inner sect cultivator is allowed to produce this thing anymore." The old Daoist furrowed his white eyebrows and said in a hoarse voice.

  "Vast Heaven Lord!" As soon as he heard this, Wang Guang suddenly became furious, he swung the dust in his hand and was about to jump up and curse loudly.

  "Don't be angry." The old Taoist waved his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Although the disciples of the sect are relatively united, but if you count carefully, there is still a distinction between intimacy and distance. To put it bluntly, among the inner door disciples, someone was jealous of your gain, so they used special means to deal with you."

  "This is all because of your weak magical powers, you can't provoke the other party. If you feel resentful, you can wait until your magical powers are strong enough, and you have a good magic treasure or divine technique, then you can kill him and take revenge."

  "Thanks a lot, senior brother." Wang Guang took a deep breath and bowed his head in gratitude to the old Taoist. He wasn't a reckless person either, although he was extremely annoyed at heart right now, but he didn't dare to really ask who had manipulated things behind the scenes, so he could only suppress his annoyance and wait until later when the dust settled to discuss today's events.

  The old man narrowed his eyes and nodded, then waved his hand to signal Wang Guang to leave. "If I were you, I would definitely find a place to cultivate in secret, at least learn a few Taoist spells before thinking about who can deal with yourself."

  After thanking the old Taoist again and again, Wang Guang turned around and returned to his own room.

  "What's the big deal? It's just some crystal stones! What do you natives need so many crystal stones for? Damn it, once I achieve the Golden Elixir, I'll definitely find out who secretly plotted against me today and let them taste my skills. After thinking for half a day, he forcibly suppressed his resentment, calmed down, and grabbed two crystal stones to start cultivating his divine powers according to the secret method."

  The spiritual energy in the crystal stones flowed into two special meridians through his hands, and half an hour later, the two crystal stones in his hands suddenly shattered, which was caused by the exhaustion of the spiritual energy in the crystal stones. Upon closer inspection, the spiritual energy stored in those two meridians only occupied about one percent of the area of the meridians.

  Wang Guang did not continue to absorb the crystal stone, but instead mobilized the spiritual energy in his meridians to flush out the special meridians required for the first layer of divine communication. Every time the spiritual energy was exhausted, he continued to absorb the spiritual energy from the crystal stones. After consuming over a hundred crystal stones, he finally successfully cultivated the first layer of divine communication and reached the second layer.

  "One day, ten crystal stones' worth of spiritual energy is consumed, ah! At this rate of consumption, if I don't think of a way to get more crystal stones, I'll be finished in no time." Feeling the divine transmission automatically drawing out the stored spiritual energy from his meridians, Wang Guang began to secretly ponder.

  "Baili Liuguang must continue to be sold, otherwise, relying on only one thousand crystal stones per month, it's impossible to buy much Zi Yun's aura. This way, my cultivation speed will slow down by several times or even more. However, this business must be done in secret from now on."

  "Every day, sitting and practicing Qi cannot be stopped for even a moment, nor can skills points be used to accelerate the progress of one's cultivation method. Otherwise, when condensing the Golden Elixir in the future, the success rate will be extremely low, or the condensed Golden Elixir will be inferior to others."

  "Divine ability also needs to be cultivated, and it's not necessary to hide or conceal it. After the three layers of the law gate are reached, and one has the ability to cultivate the Taoist techniques within, then the cultivation of divine ability can slow down, or even be completely abandoned. After all, at this stage, divine ability is still needed as a trump card to prevent accidents."
