PDLP Chapter 17: One Night in the Purple Mansion
Chapter 17: One Night in the Purple Mansion
Classical immortal techniques, which tend to focus on a single attribute, can be biased.
Besides the restraint, the most significant impact is on the supernatural powers that are developed after advancing to the Purple Mansion level.
The Five Elements Yin Yang Great Luo Golden Immortal Scripture is also powerful in its ability to nurture.
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, can be combined in pairs to create fusion supernatural powers, such as the combination of Taiyin and Taiyang, the combination of water and wood attributes, and so on.
The power of a combined supernatural power is naturally much stronger than that of a single supernatural power.
And it has many other wonderful uses!
Having two choices left Wei Wuxian in a dilemma.
Because the reward options also include two special spiritual energies of heaven and earth: the sixth-grade [Essence of Sun and Moon] and the fifth-grade [Five Elements Essence].
Although there are only two, they can bring together Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in one go.
Although its grade is a bit low and there is a risk of being disturbed by impurities, it is not a big problem.
Speaking of which, these two special spiritual energies were specially sought out by him for Bei Hanyue; otherwise, they wouldn't have been included in the reward options.
Because by the timeline of Fairy Tale 3, the top-tier special spiritual energy in the world had become almost impossible to collect, and the mainstream cultivation methods had long since changed with the changing eras.
As for the seven rank-nine special spiritual energies on Li Jingming, the character he was controlling at the time, they were rewards he received directly from completing missions across the five continents.
One of a kind!
Therefore, Bei Hanyue, who switched from later cultivation methods to classical immortal techniques, could only make do with these two spiritual energies. After all, Wei Wuxian had not yet reached the Purple Mansion at that time, so it was impossible for him to cultivate the Immortal Scattered Dao at that time.
After a slight hesitation, Wei Wuxian decisively chose [Sun and Moon Essence] and [Five Elements Essence].
Completion is more important than perfection.
The five elements and yin and yang can form a cyclical and recurring power of the six directions. After ascending to the Purple Palace, in addition to the concealment of his fruit position, he can also open up new methods and accommodate the fruit position supernatural powers of the current cultivation methods!
The era of empty-handed attainment of Buddhahood has arrived ahead of schedule, and he must plan ahead.
This is a surprise within a surprise! On the path to advancement, it's definitely better to take as much as possible!
[World Travelogue: The Black and White Side Quest (Phase Three): It's time for you to make a choice.]
[Congratulations on joining the temporary faction—the Grand Preceptor's Mansion of the Great Wei.]
You have been given one chance to choose a reward.
[World Travelogue: The Indistinguishable Side Quest (Phase Four): Protect the Phoenix City Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.]
[Rewards will be distributed based on player contributions.]
The remaining reward selection opportunity is not urgent. It's best to complete it based on your own situation after you officially embark on the path of cultivation.
Wei Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief after just one glance at the "Five Elements Yin Yang Great Luo Golden Immortal Scripture".
Fortunately, he had already memorized the "Sword Forging Technique" in his main body, so he wasn't completely clueless.
A full hour later, Wei Wuxian closed his eyes after finishing reciting the jade slip in his hand.
He stopped cultivating on his main body, silently recited the mantra in his mind, and made sure that he was completely relaxed and in the best state.
He then followed the method, sensing the natural world and observing his own spiritual apertures.
Almost the instant he sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he found the primordial Qi within his body.
Continue following the method to guide Qi into the body, and inscribe runes on the cauldron...
Although it was clearly his first proper cultivation session, Wei Wuxian felt as if his avatar had already done it a thousand times before, performing it smoothly and effortlessly!
It's like learning to write. The tip of the pen touches the paper, and after the first stroke, everything becomes one in an instant. With the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion in mind, the pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion is written!
It went so smoothly that even Wei Wuxian was surprised.
He thought that this avatar was undergoing a rebuilding process, which might be simple, but he didn't expect it to be this simple!
After that, when it attacked the core, it broke through with a single puncture!
Until it begins to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and condenses the Primordial Wheel!
--boom!
Almost simultaneously, the night sky over the entire territory of the Great Wei suddenly brightened a bit.
And within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on Phoenix City, endless starlight began to shine brightly!
It was starlight, visible to the naked eye, formed from spiritual energy, piercing straight through the sky and falling upon the courtyard where Wei Wuxian was located in the old National Preceptor's Mansion in Phoenix City.
Wei Zhixi landed instantly outside the courtyard where Wei Wuxian was.
All that could be seen was Sui Juanke, who was stationed there, looking up at the sky with a frozen expression.
"What happened?"
Wei Zhixi felt a bit sore in her teeth. Wei Wuxian said there might be a celestial phenomenon that she needed to help cover it up, but how could such a celestial phenomenon be hidden?
Only her father could have done that.
"He cultivates classical immortal techniques, which is probably the only one of its kind in the world."
"Classical immortal techniques?"
Wei Zhixi frowned instantly. The current cultivation method was based on classical immortal techniques, which she knew a little about.
After breaking through the essence, one needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense the Primordial Wheel. Then comes the key to breakthrough. To become a righteous cultivator, one needs to accept the Qi!
Otherwise, one will never have the hope of establishing a foundation in their lifetime.
Nowadays, the special spiritual energy naturally nurtured by heaven and earth can no longer be found in the world.
Even if one can attract extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth, become the only darling of the world on the path of classical orthodoxy, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth millions of times faster, so what?
For a cultivator who remains at the Void Condensation Realm for life, advancing to the Qi Refining Realm is a pipe dream, equivalent to being a peak cultivator at the second realm.
There's no way forward.
That is, the thought had just popped into Wei Zhixi's head.
The next moment, the starlight dimmed, and a large sun appeared out of nowhere in the distant east, echoing the bright moon overhead, creating a strange spectacle of the sun and moon shining together at night!
This extraordinary sight also lasted only a few breaths.
Immediately, the five elements burst forth, like a gentle breeze, like a long rainbow...
Wei Zhixi stared wide-eyed at everything in disbelief. Even ordinary people in Phoenix City noticed that tonight was different!
As for Wei Wuxian, who was sitting on a futon in the room, he still had his eyes closed, completely oblivious to what was happening.
All he knew was that...
Smooth!
Everything went so smoothly!
He didn't need to absorb it at all; the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was spontaneously drawn to him, gathering in his dantian, and then lining up to pour into the Shengyang Palace.
By the time Wei Wuxian realized what was happening, he had already reached the peak of the Condensing Void Realm.
Instead of seeking an auspicious time to consume the essence, he subconsciously swallowed the [Essence of the Sun and Moon] and the [Essence of the Five Elements] in sequence.
then.
Level 1 of Qi Refining.
Qi Refining Level 2.
......
Qi Refining Level 9.
Then the Primordial Wheel began to disintegrate and transform into streams of light, which, along with the [Sun and Moon Essence] and [Five Elements Essence] he had consumed, began to forge the foundation for immortality within his essence.
Only then did he begin to notice that the speed had slowed down.
But it was still very fast.
The foundation of immortality is beginning to take shape.
The foundation is stable in the early stages of construction.
The scale has expanded.
Advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Wait until it is completely perfected and stable.
Wei Wuxian has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Finally, the immortal foundation within the treasure trove ascended to heaven!
......
......
Today, in the vast and expansive Eastern Continent of Shengzhou, a strange phenomenon has appeared in the heavens.
Boom!
It was just the time when the sky was beginning to lighten, but for some reason, the fiery red color only lasted for a moment before the world returned to darkness.
All the starlight was hidden, except for the bright moon, which hung high overhead.
The moonlight fills the world.
Almost all the cultivators of the Great Wei Dynasty sensed in an instant that the spiritual energy in the world had inexplicably become colder.
Wei Zhixi felt the same way and subconsciously wanted to immerse herself in it.
Suddenly, she felt a light tap on her shoulder.
Wei Zhixi suddenly came to her senses and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a plain Confucian robe standing smiling in front of her.
"father!"
The middle-aged man nodded gently, then looked up at the sky, a scroll of old book appearing in his hand.
No weapons were seen, no imposing presence was displayed.
The old books started turning their pages on their own.
The darkness gathered, instantly forming a cloud-like shape that obscured the sky above Phoenix City.
Ultimately, all the strange phenomena were contained within the small courtyard by the middle-aged man.
These strange phenomena were not truly restrained; they were simply contained within the small world opened up by the middle-aged man. The small world shrank, which is why it appeared smaller to those outside.
After the moonlight comes tomorrow, the courtyard is brightly lit, and then the spring breeze rises suddenly, the trees and flowers in the courtyard flourish, and soon the temperature begins to rise slowly again, but their growth does not stop, and they immediately become moist and green again. Then the roots become thick and strong, and the branches of the trees seem to become vigorous, giving people a sharp feeling!
Finally, a few golden leaves drifted down, and white mist rose from the courtyard, obscuring everything.
A gust of wind blew by, and when the white mist dissipated, everything in the courtyard returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Wei Zhixi blinked.
He looked around the courtyard, then looked up at the sky.
Its daybreak.
Inside the room, Wei Wuxian slowly opened his eyes.
He has reached the Purple Palace.
