Chapter 75: Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
“Xiaoyu, pay attention and strive to cultivate. Only then can you save more suffering.”
In mid-air, Su Yang’s thoughts shifted, and a vast aura of swords permeated, surging in all directions.
Covering a vast range, it encompassed the entire jurisdiction of Kaiyang City.
“This sword technique is called Rainfall.”
“I want rain to fall upon this world, and so it shall.”
The sword aura filled the sky, causing a transformation in the celestial phenomena.
In an instant, dark clouds blanketed the sky for miles.
The commoners toiling on the land and the citizens of Kaiyang City drawing water all stood frozen.
“It’s going to rain!”
“Quick, go back and collect water!”
In no time, the commoners ran homeward, their path turning into a frenzied dash.
Even before they reached home, the sky opened up, pouring down heavy rain.
There was no gradual build-up, only a downpour of immense intensity. Large raindrops descended from above, replenishing the previously parched earth.
Rivers began to gather water, and various creatures emerged as life started to flourish once again…
The rain continued for a full day and night.
In mid-air, the three figures stood tall, shielded by the sword aura and Qi, untouched by the raindrops. “Xiaoyu, how is it?”
“Brother Yang, I understand…”
Jiang Xiaoyu felt his worldview continuously being reshaped.
A more advanced world was gradually unfolding before his eyes.
And it wasn’t just Jiang Xiaoyu; even Gu Xiu was discovering new horizons.
The impact Su Yang brought had already rendered him numb.
The thunderous sword intent, the transformation into a rainbow, and the ensuing rainfall…
All these remarkable abilities were something only the most exceptional geniuses could achieve.
But for Su Yang, it seemed effortless, like second nature.
With that matter settled, the three companions departed together.
Kaiyang City would embrace a new life.
[Task Complete: Will of All Beings +100]
On their journey back, Su Yang pondered over the items he had acquired from Luo Hongsheng.
Su Yang had consulted Gu Xiu about it, but even within the immortal sects, it was unheard of.
Upon hearing this news, Su Yang’s interest was piqued.
Initially, he had believed it to be an ordinary technique found anywhere, but now it seemed otherwise.
[Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique]
Introduction: Harnessing the power of heaven and earth, forging spiritual roots, cultivating the grand Dao. Divided into the Destruction Volume, Nourishment Volume, Formation Volume, and Spirit Domain Volume.
Destruction Volume: forcefully absorbing the essence of a specific location for personal cultivation. This method allows for rapid progress, but it also inflicts significant damage upon the location, accumulates a karmic burden, and easily attracts heavenly retribution.
Nourishment Volume: merging with heaven and earth, selecting a location to integrate with. By doing so, one will continuously receive the birthed spiritual energy from that location. The stronger the integration, the more spiritual energy one can obtain through nourishment. Emphasizing the improvement of personal integration is mutually beneficial, as one thrives or declines together with the integrated location. It can gain favor from heaven and earth. When heaven and earth grow stronger, one can receive nourishment in return.
Formation Volume: for those without innate spiritual roots, it enables the creation of spiritual roots using the essence of heaven and earth. By absorbing the essence through the Destruction or Nourishment Volumes, one can forge spiritual roots. It is important to note that even for a lower-grade spiritual root, an immense amount of essence from heaven and earth is required.
Spirit Domain Volume: the heavens and earth are hierarchically divided, just like mountains, rivers, and streams. Mastering this volume allows one to search for renowned mountains and great rivers, observing the quality of spiritual mountains and rivers.
Su Yang examined the Technique with a hint of curiosity, discovering its remarkable nature.
This technique was extraordinary!
Although he was unaware of its origin and quality, understanding its capabilities left Su Yang astonished.
The technique was divided into four parts, with the latter focusing on the Foundation Establishment stage.
Most importantly, the Foundation Establishment stage provided a path for ordinary individuals to embark on the cultivation journey.
This… held immense potential.
Su Yang also noticed the Destruction Volume, which stated that bringing destruction upon heaven and earth would attract heavenly retribution. However, Su Yang came to understand that there are many demonic cultivators within the Daxia Empire.
He immediately thought of the fragment of the Heavenly Path in his hand. The Heavenly Path in this world is probably shattered and in an unknown state.
The Destruction Volume is a method of quick advancement.
On the other hand, the Nourishment Volume is a traditional path of cultivation, but it is slow. Just by reading the annotations, Su Yang could sense a profound slowness.
The crucial point is that the Nourishment Volume requires recognition from heaven and earth through merging with a specific location.
But in a world where the Heavenly Path is nonexistent, how can it be recognized?
After going through the information, Su Yang showed the Heavenly Path Cultivation Method to Gu Xiu and asked if there is such a Nourishment Volume among the demonic cultivators.
Soon, he got an answer.
“Lord Sword, there isn’t,” Gu Xiu shook his head. “From what I know, the demonic cultivators currently only possess the Destruction Volume, and they don’t have the following three volumes.”
After reading it, Gu Xiu was also somewhat shocked.
The Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique is truly remarkable.
Su Yang became greatly curious about where Luo Hongsheng obtained all these things.
Even cultivators couldn’t acquire such things, but Luo Hongsheng somehow managed to obtain them.
Unfortunately, Luo Hongsheng was already dead.
If he could practice the Nourishment Volume, perhaps Luo Hongsheng wouldn’t have chosen the Destruction Volume.
This Nourishment Volume, Su Yang found somewhat reminiscent of the deities of mountains and rivers from his past life.
This method is extraordinary.
For now, Su Yang stored it away. Maybe he would find it useful in the future when he understands more about the Heavenly Path in this world.
Curiosity sparked within him, and he decided to make inquiries.
Su Yang silently communicated with the Heavenly Path Fragment through his sword intent, bypassing the need for words.
After a prolonged silence, the Heavenly Path Fragment finally responded.
Heavenly Path Fragment: [It’s possible… but I am currently too weak. I need to recover more of my fragments…]
Su Yang: [How can I find them?]
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Wait for a while… I will… guide you…]
With that, the fragment fell silent, no matter how much Su Yang probed.
There was no effective solution at hand.
He could only let it be.
With the cultivation technique, Su Yang had partially resolved his future cultivation concerns.
He could cultivate using this technique.
Inside Luo Hongsheng’s storage ring, Su Yang discovered some cultivation resources, including low-grade spiritual stones and medicinal recipes like the Five Poison Body Tempering Medicinal Bath.
In the blink of an eye, the trio returned to the Martial Suppression Division.
Their journey, from setting out to resolving the issues in two cities, took less than two hours.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Su Yang contemplated Jiang Xiaoyu’s training arrangements.
However, teaching was not his strong suit, so he entrusted Gu Xiu to take care of it for the time being.
As for the Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique, Su Yang had some ideas, but unfortunately, with the Heavenly Path in slumber, he could only rely on the Destruction Volume.
Destruction Volume… was not within Su Yang’s preferred range.
It inflicted excessive damage to the involved corpses and surroundings.
He wondered if there were other planets or realms where he could practice cultivation, particularly those without inhabitants.
If there were no restrictions from the Heavenly Path, it might be possible.
If he could surpass the Heavenly Path, even better.
Suddenly, Su Yang thought of another question.
If they had this cultivation technique here, what about beyond their world?
The only restriction for the Destruction Volume might be the Heavenly Path.
The Heavenly Path would punish cultivators practicing the technique, and righteous cultivators who followed the Nourishment Volume might not tolerate the existence of the Destruction Volume.
In that case, their world might be unique, allowing the popularity of the Destruction Volume and the emergence of demonic cultivators.
Or perhaps…. other cultivators from different worlds came and destroyed their Heavenly Path, then cultivated here?
