NOVPUBShuttle, chariot, immortal robe, pagoda.
Aside from the Evil Extinguishing Immortal Robe, the remaining three artifacts were all designed for travel or escape, each of the seventh-order.
"This Yuu Mountain Daoist—"
Lu Qingfeng looked at the four magic artifacts before him and couldn't help but purse his lips.
The Yuu Mountain Daoist, a Primordial Spirit Great Cultivator with so many escape tools, ultimately could not escape death.
Divine Skills are no match for fate.
What a futile effort!
"The Yuu Mountain Daoist claimed he was ambushed by Xun Zhenbei of the Green Wood Valley. I wonder what the situation was like then."
Lu Qingfeng was curious.
And he found himself believing the Yuu Mountain Daoist's account more and more.
With these four sect magic artifacts at his side, who else could have killed the Yuu Mountain Daoist besides a same-level cultivator's ambush?
"What a pity."
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand and collected the four sect magic artifacts, feeling regret for the Yuu Mountain Daoist. Perhaps it was the possession of these artifacts that made the Yuu Mountain Daoist let down his guard, resulting in such an end.
This was also a wake-up call for Lu Qingfeng—
"No matter how many treasures one has, they are not as substantial as one's own cultivation. One must be vigilant in all things and never take anything lightly."
Shaking his head.
Lu Qingfeng turned his palm over, and two jade dishware fell into his hands.
First, he looked at the jade dishware in his left hand—
"I, Yu Shanzi, have engaged with the Array Dao since the Foundation Establishment Stage, gathering Array Dao books from all over, even infiltrating the Heavenly Star Sect under the guise of 'Feng Xinzi' to obtain part of their legacy."
"And thus became a master of array formations."
"Traversing the Three Mountains and Nine Waters, neither the Three Mountains Sect, the Seven Gorges Sect, nor the demon nests, ten thousand array formations could not trap me; millions of arrays could not stop me."
"In my lifetime, I have comprehended the essence of Array Dao, organized and written books. The insights of my journey, various derivations, and casual thoughts are all within. Comprehending even a little, one can be called a grandmaster of the sect."
The beginning part was an introduction to the information inside the jade dishware by the Yuu Mountain Daoist.
It was an array formation book.
[Book: Yuu Mountain Daoist's Notes]
[Grade: Side Door Level]
[Description: The Yuu Mountain Daoist gathered Array Dao books from the Three Mountains and Nine Waters, combined with some legacy of the Heavenly Star Sect, and summarized the results]
"Yuu Mountain Daoist's Notes."
Lu Qingfeng browsed casually and withdrew his mind from the jade dishware.
Other than being famous for his Longevity Technique, the Yuu Mountain Daoist was most powerful in array formations.
He established an Immortal Mansion in the Black Death Swamp and left behind his legacy, sealing the Green Wood King Ding within. The Green Wood Valley searched for thirteen thousand years but could not find it. After the Immortal Mansion emerged, others feared the Yuu Mountain Daoist's array formation accomplishments and dared not send a Primordial Spirit Great Cultivator into the mansion.
This sufficiently showed the brilliance of the Yuu Mountain Daoist's array formation skills.
However, Lu Qingfeng already had the "Heavenly Monarch Array Dao True Explanation." In terms of brilliance and comprehensiveness, it far exceeded the "Yuu Mountain Daoist's Notes," so he wasn't too concerned about it.
But the 'Heavenly Star Sect' made Lu Qingfeng pause for a moment.
"I did not expect the Yuu Mountain Daoist and the Heavenly Star Sect to have such a connection."
Lu Qingfeng reflected thoughtfully.
The Heavenly Star Sect, along with the Green Wood Valley and the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Mountain, all belong to the Seven Gorges Immortal Sect, and are established based on array formations, also among the top immortal sects of the Three Mountains and Nine Waters. The Yuu Mountain Daoist in the "Yuu Mountain Daoist's Notes" even regarded the Heavenly Star Sect as the progenitor of array formations in the world.
He held it in the highest esteem.
Even though he recognized himself as one of the top grandmasters in array formations, he never dared to look down on the Heavenly Star Sect.
Speaking of the Heavenly Star Sect, it also had a connection to Lu Qingfeng, "In the future, when I ascend to the Gathering Law Realm, I should visit the Yunmeng Swamp's Kongling Gorge."
It felt quite distant.
He didn't dwell on it.
He recorded the "Yuu Mountain Daoist's Notes" into his attributes panel and then looked at the other jade dishware in his hand.
Lu Qingfeng explored the jade dishware with his mind—
"Everything between heaven and earth experiences birth and death."
"The birth and death of humans are sometimes slow, sometimes fast. The life and death of cultivators also have their determinations. This technique is called the 'Red Dust Longevity Technique,' aiming to contend with heaven for life. Without becoming an immortal, one must live for tens of thousands of years, to be a Red Dust Immortal."
[Cultivation Technique: Red Dust Longevity Technique]
[Grade: Side Door Level]
[Description: In ancient times, there was an astonishing talent in the mortal world, known as 'Tianqingzi', who pitied the short lives and many hardships of mortals. Thus, with great wisdom and perseverance, he created the 'Red Dust Longevity Technique' amongst the Red Dust. This technique can be cultivated by both mortals and cultivators, regardless of their talent or comprehension, to strive against heaven for life, to steal the vital essence of heaven and earth for oneself, not to die for tens of thousands of years—this is the 'Red Dust Immortal.']
[Note: This technique rejects all different kinds of True Yuan and mana.]
[Note: The True Yuan and mana cultivated by this technique primarily nurture the physical body and Divine Soul.]
[Note: This technique focuses on nurturing and longevity, with no capacity for combat.]
"Red Dust Longevity Technique!"
Lu Qingfeng read the attributes and examined them carefully.
After roughly two hours, Lu Qingfeng had thoroughly understood this technique.
"This technique—"
Lu Qingfeng showed a thoughtful expression, not knowing how to judge the "Red Dust Longevity Technique" for a moment.
According to the descriptions of the technique and Lu Qingfeng's own understanding,
this cultivation technique was indeed a rare life-extension method in the world.
Using the essence of Spirit Wood and Spirit Plants as the foundation, even mortals could practice it.
First Layer "Mountain and River Pulse Fist" draws upon the endless vitality of the mountain and river veins, replenishing oneself and, when cultivated to the ultimate extreme, can extend one's life span by six hundred and sixty years.
Second Layer "Sun and Moon Five Wheel Fist" refines the essence of the heavenly sun and moon, tempering the physical body and, when cultivated to the ultimate extreme, can extend one's life span by three thousand eight hundred years.
Third Layer "Celestial Cycle Stars Fist" utilizes the power of the Celestial Cycle Stars to nurture both the physical body and the Divine Soul, and when cultivated to the ultimate extreme, can extend one's life span by twenty-one thousand two hundred years.
Fourth Layer "Green Wood Longevity Fist" involves seeking out the world's Spirit Woods and the Spirit Plants of myriad realms, drawing on the essence of wood, and the endless vitality. Theoretically, as long as there is a sufficient supply of Spirit Plants for the cultivator to draw vitality from, one could reach the highest realm of the "Red Dust Longevity Technique" —
Red Dust Immortal!
Living amidst the red dust, immortal and undying.
The terrifying aspect of such a technique lies in the fact that aptitude is unnecessary; one only needs to cultivate methodically. Starting from the First Layer Mountain and River Pulse Fist to the Second Layer Sun and Moon Five Wheel Fist, and then onto the Third Layer Celestial Cycle Stars Fist, one can at least extend their life span by twenty-one thousand two hundred years — a longevity even many Primordial Spirit Great Cultivators do not achieve.
Upon reaching the Fourth Layer,
if there is enough Spirit Wood, even outlasting a Mahayana True Immortal to live as long as the heavens is not a fantasy!
"Such Great Power's Favored, Tianqingzi, was indeed formidable to be able to create such a powerful Longevity Technique,"
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but exclaim.
If he could cultivate to the Third Layer, his life span would exceed twenty thousand years. In the context of a game, that would be a full two million years.
More than enough to become an immortal and establish a lineage!
"However."
"This technique defies the natural order, yet it also comes with various limitations."
Lu Qingfeng pondered, recalling the description of the Cultivation Technique.
The "Red Dust Longevity Technique" can extend life span, and even grant immortality.
But since ancient times, very few have practiced it. The root cause is twofold: firstly, there is no Protecting Dao Skill, and secondly, the end result of all the hard cultivation effort is like Tang Seng's Meat.
"This technique is domineering and rejects all other types of True Yuan and Mana."
"Therefore, it's impossible to cultivate other techniques or Divine Skills while practicing this one."
"The True Yuan and Mana developed through cultivation mainly nourish the physical body and the Divine Soul, preferring to conserve vitality rather than employ any offensive or defensive capabilities. Even having reached the Fourth Layer, in a head-on sparring of techniques, one might not even match up to a Core Formation True Man, let alone a Spirit Void Practitioner."
Cultivating techniques and Divine Skills.
It is not as simple as comprehending them fully and being able to use them at will; it requires establishing cycles and layers of talismans within the body. This way, the techniques can be controlled and released at will, and their power is greatly enhanced.
This is one of the reasons why cultivators are limited and cannot practice too many techniques or Divine Skills simultaneously.
Cultivating the "Red Dust Longevity Technique" means one cannot construct techniques or Divine Skills, at least the vast majority of them, to avoid disrupting the vitality.
The path of cultivation is fraught with countless dangers.
Without Great Divine Powers to guard one's way, even if one obtains the longevity of the Red Dust, how could they face the myriad calamities that await?
This is one point.
"Stealing the vitality of heaven and earth for oneself. The physical body and Divine Soul, nourished for a thousand, ten thousand years, are no less a treasure than a Primordial Spirit Great Cultivator. Mortals and cultivators eat a piece of this flesh and could live several years or a few decades longer. Devouring the physical body and Divine Soul could extend life by a thousand, even ten thousand years."
"The appearance of a cultivator practicing the "Red Dust Longevity Technique" would immediately attract covetous glances from countless Primordial Spirit Great Cultivators and Mahayana True Immortals at the end of their life spans."
"Tentative and trepidatious, the entire world becomes an enemy!"
Living precariously for millions of years to become a Red Dust Immortal only to become a longevity medicine.
The heavens do not harvest, life span never exhausts. Man-made calamities and thousands of tribulations naturally arise.
This is another point.
"Such techniques are suitable for the favored of the Great Powers. With their protection, with no need for combat, and with no fear of covetousness."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head with a smile, "If one were the favored of a Great Power, why bother with such a complicated technique? One could enter the Divine Dao and become a carefree god. As long as the Divine Dao is eternal, one can live for tens of thousands of years."
Thus, it was because Tianqingzi was still in the mortal realm, with the Divine Dao of Three Mountains and Nine Waters severed, that he created this mysterious and exquisite, yet somewhat redundant Longevity Technique without knowledge of the Divine Dao.
"If such a technique were obtained by the Demon Dao, it could be used to cultivate 'Human Medicine' to increase one's lifespan, it would be worth considering."
Thinking of this,
Lu Qingfeng felt a bit of sorrow, "Truly, there are no perfect things in this world."
But for him —
"I possess the 'Yellow Court Scripture', which can govern all Laws, allowing me to cultivate the 'Red Dust Longevity Technique' while also cultivating other techniques. Moreover, with 'Derivation' ability, I can strengthen these techniques, possibly eliminating all their drawbacks."
All the limitations and so-called hidden dangers of the "Red Dust Longevity Technique" are non-issues before Lu Qingfeng, or more accurately, in the presence of the "Yellow Court Scripture."
As for specifics.
He would still need to use Derivation Enhancement in the game and then conduct several trials.
As for now, his real-world life span is still sufficient, and in the game, he has plenty of time to delve into these matters.
"Longevity Technique."
Lu Qingfeng's eyes twinkled with amusement as he recorded it into his attribute panel.
Thus,
Having acquired the "Red Dust Longevity Technique" in the aftermath of the Yuu Mountain Immortal Mansion incident, he has essentially achieved his primary goal. The Seven Gorges Immortal Sect probably already knew of the technique's various limitations and even possessed it themselves, which is why the Immortal Mansion's debut in Green Wood Valley only attracted two Golden Core Cultivators.
Because they understood the technique's flaws,
They were not overly concerned.
Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng could circumvent many of these restrictions with the "Yellow Court Scripture."
In his hands, this technique was destined to shine brilliantly.
"With a Spirit Void lifetime of eight hundred years, my life span was reduced by one hundred and fifty years when I changed my Root Bone during Foundation Establishment, leaving me with only six hundred and fifty years in the Spirit Void Stage."
"However, in the Fourth Realm of Spirit Void, except for the First Realm Fasting and the Fourth Realm Fusion that require some time to complete, the Second Realm Heart Movement and the Third Realm Divine Silence can be passed in an instant."
"In no more than seventy or eighty years, I should be able to step into the Jiedan Realm."
Although Lu Qingfeng has only just entered Spirit Void and is currently in the Fasting Stage,
At over seventy years of age, advancing to Core Formation is well within his reach.
Only —
