Chapter 255: Chapter 254: Immortal Dao! True Level Cultivation Technique

Zhu Ge had always thought it was a great shame that True Monarch Minmian had lost his cultivation.

But before, he had been completely powerless to help.

After all, his cultivation was too low, and he couldn’t think of any good way to help.

He could only wait until his cultivation was higher in the future to perhaps find a solution.

However, he had now comprehended the True Meaning of Confucianism and understood "divination."

So, the very first time he used it, he tried to divine where the key to True Monarch Minmian’s future cultivation recovery lay.

For someone in the Second Realm to divine the cultivation recovery for a True Self Level existence was incredibly difficult.

However, Zhu Ge did possess the Book of Changes, the foundational treasure of the New Confucian Dao.

And so, he had managed to divine an answer.

Shengjing!

Shengjing held the key to True Monarch Minmian’s future cultivation recovery!

But, with his current strength, this was all he could divine. He couldn’t figure out anything else.

Still, having hope was a good thing.

Zhu Ge glanced at True Monarch Minmian and decided to tell him the news only after they reached Shengjing.

After all, there were too many people around. He’d have to find a secure place to talk.

"Master Zhu, how is your Immortal Dao cultivation coming along?" True Monarch Minmian asked.

"Don’t call me Master Zhu." Zhu Ge didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

True Monarch Minmian’s mindset was just too relaxed. Even in a situation like this, he was still in the mood to joke around.

"As for the Immortal Dao, I guess you could say I’m getting close to the entry-level," Zhu Ge replied.

Immortal Dao!

In Hongmi Immortal’s Self Realm, Zhu Ge had indeed found several Immortal Dao Techniques.

They just weren’t the technique Hongmi Immortal himself had practiced. Instead, they were some Spirit Level and Elemental Level techniques.

He had wanted to cultivate a better Immortal Dao Technique, but the highest-grade one available was upper-tier Elemental Level, so he had to make do with these.

And he wouldn’t be cultivating all of them—he could only choose one.

He needed to look at each one, practice them, and give them a try.

He would cultivate the most suitable one he found.

But he hadn’t found one yet; he felt that every one of them was missing something.

Of course, he wasn’t in a hurry either.

Breaking through to the Third Realm was not that simple.

The First Realm, Second Realm, and Third Realm could be said to be the foundation-building stages.

From the soul to the physical body to Qi.

Only when the foundations of the Upper Yuan Palace, Middle Yuan Palace, and Lower Yuan Palace were strong enough could he truly continue to advance to greater heights in the future.

"That shouldn’t be right. Master Zhu, your talent is so high." True Monarch Minmian was a bit surprised. "I have quite a few techniques here, even True Level ones. Want to take a look?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and some books were taken out from his spatial ring.

Eight techniques in total!

Zhu Ge took a closer look.

These eight technique manuals were all crafted from some kind of jade paper, and the books themselves radiated a soft glow.

It was hard to say whether it was because of the material or the technique itself, but these eight books were actually Elemental Level treasures!

He didn’t know their specific effects, but this was enough to show how deep True Monarch Minmian’s pockets were.

You have to understand, Zhu Ge’s entire collection currently consisted of paper books.

Forget Elemental Level, he didn’t even have any Spirit Level ones.

"Take your pick. A gift for my big brother here." True Monarch Minmian pillowed his head on his hands, crossing one leg over the other in a casual posture. "Consider it my tuition fee to you."

"Alright then."

Zhu Ge nodded.

There was no need for words to express such a great kindness.

So far, it had always been True Monarch Minmian helping him; he hadn’t yet been able to do anything in return.

To refuse back and forth would seem far too disingenuous.

It was better to simply remember the favor and repay it generously when he had the chance in the future.

For instance, with this chance to restore his cultivation, Zhu Ge was determined to help True Monarch Minmian seize it.

"Then I’ll go take a look now."

Zhu Ge stepped into his Self Realm.

The rich fragrance of rice and Spiritual Qi washed over him.

The hundred-meter-square Spirit Rice Field was still lush and green. The air above the Tide Level Rice plant at its very center shimmered slightly, like the heat rising from a burning candle flame.

Every time Zhu Ge entered the Self Realm, he would spare it a few extra glances—not to harvest it, but to observe it.

’The essence of Power... who knew? Maybe one more look would lead to a deeper understanding. Though he hadn’t felt anything so far.’

Then, he sat cross-legged by the rice field and spread out the eight technique manuals given to him by True Monarch Minmian.

Eight techniques, eight different materials.

Some were on jade paper, as thin as a cicada’s wing yet as tough as gold.

Another was on the hide of some unknown beast, its script appearing as if written in blood, emitting what seemed to be a faint halo of light.

And one was simply carved on a palm-sized bone fragment, which was as smooth as jade and warm to the touch.

Zhu Ge first picked up the technique bound in jade paper.

The Taichu Qi Introduction Technique!

Upper-tier Elemental Level material, True Self Level technique.

What was a True Level technique?

It meant that with this technique, one could cultivate all the way to the True Self Realm!

Of course, that was the theory. Whether one could actually cultivate to that realm depended on the circumstances.

It was like joining the army; in theory, anyone could become a general. The path of promotion was laid out, but whether one could climb it depended on the individual.

So, Zhu Ge opened the first page, and a line of small characters came into view.

"The beginning of the Immortal Dao is drawing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the body to cleanse the mortal form and establish a Dao foundation. There are countless methods for guiding qi, yet all share a common principle. The Taichu method of qi introduction relies on embryonic respiration, using the Dantian as a furnace and treating Heaven and Earth as one’s parents..."

Zhu Ge read on, word by word, sentence by sentence.

This technique focused on "embryonic respiration"—breathing as a fetus does in the womb, directly drawing nourishment from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as if through an umbilical cord.

Cultivated to its peak, one could abstain from food and drink, achieving longevity through fasting.

The embryonic respiration method was remarkably similar to the out-of-body experience he had when cultivating the Great Sun Glaze Body. Both involved putting the body into a state that transcended the ordinary.

He tried to circulate it.

A wisp of Spiritual Qi rose from his Dantian and flowed slowly along his meridians.

Wherever the Spiritual Qi passed, his meridians warmed up slightly, as if being soaked in warm water.

The feeling was very comfortable, unlike the pain of Martial Dao cultivation or the searing heat of channeling Witch Fire in the Witch Dao.

’But it felt... like something was still missing?’

Zhu Ge opened his eyes, shook his head, and placed the Taichu Qi Introduction Technique to one side.

’It was too gentle.’

This technique was suitable for the scions of prominent families who started cultivating from a young age, with elders to protect them, pills to assist them, and resources that ensured their success would come naturally.

His body had long been tempered to the extreme by the Martial Dao. His meridians were as wide as rivers, and his Blood Qi surged like the ocean tide.

Using such a gentle method of qi introduction was like trying to bail out the ocean with a teacup.

It wasn’t that it wouldn’t work, but it was too slow.

The second technique: the Thunder Sound Divine Refining Technique!

Still an upper-tier Elemental Level material and a True Level technique.

The material of this technique was a piece of cyan beast hide, with the cultivation method written in silver characters.

Opening the first page, a faint sound of thunder echoed in his ears.

"Thunder is the decree of Heaven and Earth."

"Sound is the frequency of all things. The Thunder Sound refines the divine, using sound waves to vibrate the Divine Soul and thunder to temper the Divine Sense."

"The Divine Soul is like iron, the thunder sound is the hammer. Only after a thousand temperings can it be forged into true divinity."

Zhu Ge’s eyes lit up.

’This sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?’

Moreover, this technique was related to lightning. And lightning was one of the most unyielding and purely yang forces in the world!
