Chapter 261: Sense Acupoint

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

“It’s getting more chaotic in the world. With everyone’s focus on the upcoming World Hero Competition, it’s my chance to slip out of some people’s sight and do my own thing.”

Junior Leopard neither interested in the competition nor the Pure Yang Celestial Device because he could produce a similar weapon himself.

If someone knew he could produce a Pure Yang Celestial Device, it would sure cause another wave of shock around the world. But the thing was that no one knew.

Though Green Spirit once said he could only create Pure Yang Celestial Devices of a primary level, it was good enough for him. It was better than publicly showing off all his abilities and going all out against so many experts from the well-known families. Only a fool would do so.

“Your Excellency, the preparations are complete. We can set off anytime.”

“Go ahead without me. I’ll catch up!” Junior Leopard told Jiang Xiao. “There are some things left to be done!”

“You’re not going with us?”

“Do you think you’ll feel comfortable traveling with me?” Junior Leopard smiled. “Besides, you guys are too slow.”

“Yes!” Jiang Xiao lowered his head and left. In his head, he criticised Junior Leopard. Weren’t he the one who insisted on taking the carriage to come here? Now that they were leaving, he didn’t want to take the carriage anymore! Didn’t they do all that work for nothing?

Junior Leopard smiled as he watched Jing Xiao left. There was something he truly needed to do before he could leave. A Venerable from the Sect of Flame seemed interested in his fief, and he himself was interested in the Venerable as well. He wanted to know why the Venerable wanted to come to this godforsaken place. Did this place hold any important resources?

He knew there was a refined iron mine in his fief, but that was hardly enough to attract the attention of a Venerable from the Sect of Flame.

In the Sect of Flame, all experts with cultivation above Level Seven were called Venerables. It was similar to the title of Elder in the Tian Long Taoism. They were the same status, just with different names.

Protector visited him yesterday afternoon and, with great respect, told him that their Venerable would be arriving at his fief in three days to discuss something very important.

That was why Junior Leopard decided to stay for a few more days to see what the Venerable was up to.

“Your place is pretty decent. If you carefully cultivate this place, you can actually achieve something!”

The prairie at midnight was cold and quiet. There was a huge stone on the gentle slope of the Jilei Mountain. Except for its size, there was nothing extraordinary about it.

Whenever the night came, Junior Leopard would lean on the stone and take out Green Spirit and his Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion, allowing them to absorb the essence of the moon. He would chat with the Great Ancient Demon and learn about the antiquity times. However, Green Spirit wasn’t easy to deal with. He wouldn’t say a word if it didn’t benefit him for the ancient times was so secretive. But he was in a good mood today and started spilling words once it came out as if he had recalled something.

“Humph, I’m not interested in my career. It’d be nice if you can give me some tips on how to rapidly increase my cultivation instead.”

“Your strength is already growing really quickly; it’s not necessarily a good thing. In ancient times, you human practitioners had quick minds and various ideas. Those necromancers came up with so many ways to speed up their cultivation but not one worked!” Green Spirit laughed. “That’s why they thought of merging the bloodlines of congenital gods with the bloodline of humans.”

“They still succeeded in the end!”

“Your bloodline isn’t fully awake yet. We don’t even know if it’ll work!” Green Spirit laughed. “Don’t be complacent just because you can use some power of the congenital gods. It’s no good!”

“I understand. I’m just feeling dejected at how slow my cultivation is progressing.”

“Your journey has been too smooth up until now. Even in ancient times, it’s rare to have your cultivating speed. Whether it’s back then or now, what we’re truly after is the balance of the inner and outer cycle. There’s no true way to achieve instant success and we need to build both our bodies and cultivations slowly. But the Divine Sense techniques aren’t limited in that way. If you have the time, you can work on them. You have the most intense and profound fist intent that I’ve ever seen. It’ll be good for you to comprehend it a little more.”

“I’m aware of that too. My current punching skill is all thanks to the hammering skill insight that I gained when I was young. Now that both skills are merged, allowing for my success today. But if I want to make a breakthrough in this, I’ll need to be enlightened again. That’s much more difficult than practicing Internal Qi and the body.”

“Then there’s nothing I can help!” Green Spirit said. “Maybe you can cultivate the Pure Yang Celestial Device that I told you about as soon as possible. With that weapon nourishing you, your cultivating speed will increase by at least five times.”

“Five times? It’s that effective?”

“Why do you think so many people are aiming for a Pure Yang Celestial Device?” Green Spirit said smugly.

“So do you know what’s that Pure Yang Celestial Device? I heard it’s a pagoda-shaped weapon.”

“Necromancers were everywhere in antiquity times and they would create all kinds of celestial devices, so Pure Yang Celestial Devices aren’t anything extraordinary. There were so many pagoda-shaped Pure Yang Celestial Devices, how would I know which one is it!”

“No wonder we’re lacking so many resources now. They’re all wasted by necromancers and Grand Demons like you.”

“Though you’re not wrong, it’s not all our fault. You can blame this on those necromancers. They were the ones who wasted the most resources!”

“Never mind. There’s no use talking about something that happened so long ago. Since my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, I’m no longer in a hurry. What about it?”

“Your puppet is pretty good. It’s promising. Its cultivating speed is fast, too. But what do you think it can do with the low concentration of the essence in this world?” Green Spirit said mockingly. “Compared to human cultivation, the most important thing for Demonic Cultivation is arousing spiritual intelligence. Once that’s achieved, its cultivating speed would far surpass a human’s cultivating speed but only if there’s enough essence of the world. In the beginning, Demon Cultivation would need huge amounts of essence, dozen times more than a human would need. Your puppet is already lacking in essence since it didn’t arouse any spiritual intelligence. With such small amount of the essence in this world, it’ll need at least 800 or even a thousand years for it to successively finish its cultivation even with its speed advantage. I suggest that you stick to the old way and concentrate on cultivating your natal magic weapon. Maybe you can achieve something in a short time!”

“You offer no solution after saying so much!” Junior Leopard laughed, but there was a hint of challenge in his tone.

“There’s no need to challenge me! It’s useless. Everything is born out of this world, so we need to go by their rules. This includes cultivation. It’s not impossible to break the rules and gain benefit from it, but there’s always a price that you have to pay. This has been proven by necromancers again and again in ancient times. You should give up trying to take a shortcut.”

“But the world’s changing so rapidly these days. I need strength to protect myself. Though I’m strong, it’s not enough. It’s likely that someone is targeting me!”

“What’s your plan?”

“If there’s no other way to promote cultivation, I can only cultivate the Pure Yang Celestial Device. But there’s another troublesome thing!”

“What is it?”

“The Earth Fire Yuan Essence. My fist intent has a special function. It can summon the Qi of Earth Fire Yuan Essence from the underground fire vein. I know a place with fire vein and it was incredibly helpful at the beginning of my cultivation. But I’ve received letters from the Central Plains telling me that the fire in the underground fire vein is for some reason dying as if the fire is being quenched. Even the lava river is cooling down. Since the lava river stretches everywhere, it’ll block the passageways to the center of the geocentric fire vein once it’s frozen. I think it’s because…”

“Of course it’s all thanks to you! If you extract too much Earth Fire Yuan Essence, the geocentric fire vein will naturally cool down. Even fools know this in our times. Not even the craziest necromancer would do something like this for the Earth Fire Yuan Essence!”

“So I need to find another geocentric fire vein!”

“And extract the Earth Fire Yuan Essence again?” Green Spirit sneered. “You said the practitioners of our times were immoral to use up the resources. What a hypocrite! Aren’t you the same? You’re going to use the limited resources just for your personal interests! What right do you have to blame us?”

“Looks like you’ve been unhappy with all my complaints about people from antiquity times!” Junior Leopard laughed.

“Of course! I’m one of them!” Green Spirit said. “For you, it’s a world in a legend. For me, it’s my wonderful times. That’s enough nonsense for today, kid. I can’t satisfy your request for increasing your cultivation rapidly and it’s rather difficult too. You better think of some other way!”

“What can you offer me?”

“It’s different now. You should clearly know that many things have changed. There’s not a lot that I can help with. But if I absorb enough of the Sun and Moon Essence and the Nine Heaven Thunder Qi, I’ll recover some of my pneumas and trigger the power of the green lamp. Perhaps it’ll be of some help to you.”

“The Tusita Fire inside the green lamp has already died. What other use does it have?”

“Of course there’s use for it! It’s too bad you’re practicing the Internal Qi of fire. If yours is of wood, then you can use the green lamp to purify your Internal Qi!”

“My Internal Qi is pure enough!”

“It’s not enough, far from enough. Speaking of which, I can give you a suggestion and advice!”

“What is it?”

“Build a solid foundation. Don’t rush to reach Level Eight. A solid foundation will help you greatly when you try to enter the Mysterious Realm and get Individual Immortal Karma Rank. Or even Genuine Immortal and Human Immortal Karma Rank. Your Internal Qi is pretty pure thanks to the help of the Demonic Fire from Primitive Dragon Chimera, but it’s because of this that your Internal Qi is turning into Demonic Fire. Your body is a human one. It may seem powerful now but eventually, it’ll become incompatible with your Internal Qi and slow down your future cultivation.”

“Then what should I do?”

“Didn’t you manage to cultivate one of the Nine Forms of Real Dragon? If I were you, I’d start with Sense Acupoint to figure out about Real Dragon’s Nine Acupoint and merge my nine acupoints with it. After all, you have congenital god bloodline in your body. If you’re lucky, you may figure out one or two congenital god acupoint. Then you’ll be reaping a crazy amount of benefit from it!”
