CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 161: SEED OF SUPREME DIVINE TECHNIQUES

Lu Yan was unaware of the disturbances in the outside world, at this moment he had already returned to Phoenix Manor from the Beimang Spiritual Vein.

Having completed the Spiritual Energy Revival and successfully established a Supreme Dao Foundation, Lu Yan no longer needed that artificial spiritual vein and casually left it to various forces for their division.

Sitting in the living room, Lu Yan carefully contemplated the changes after establishing the Supreme Dao Foundation.

The most noticeable aspect was the ten-layered Supreme Dao Foundation within Lu Yan’s Dantian.

The ten layers of the Dao Foundation reflect all things in heaven and earth, layered almost penetrating the entire Dantian, as if it were Buzhou Mountain supporting heaven and earth within a myth.

Lu Yan’s abundant magical power at the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation surpassed those of the same level, and upon advancing to Foundation Establishment, his magical power increased several times over, overwhelmingly exceeding that of regular Foundation Establishment cultivators by more than five times, yet even so, it only just filled the first layer of the Dao Foundation.

Following this came the transformation of his physical body, his body harmonized with heaven and earth, completing the baptism of his physical form, his body became as transparent as glazed, upright and complete, solemn like a thousand-year-old Bodhi Tree.

Though he hadn’t practiced any body refinement techniques, he already developed the appearance of a Buddha’s Glazed Body, with physical body’s strength not inferior to any Body Cultivator at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

And in terms of the Foundation Establishment Divine Soul, the transformation brought on by the Supreme Dao Foundation reached the utmost degree.

In the Sea of Consciousness that was opened, the Divine Soul became as clear as a great sun suspended high above the Sea of Consciousness, the former spiritual perception fully merged into the Divine Soul, and his Divine Sense unfolded to cover an area twenty miles in radius.

It’s worth knowing that the Divine Sense range for normal cultivators at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment was merely a few hundred meters, and even those of Human Dao Foundation Establishment only had a range of one or two kilometers.

The tenfold disparity meant that even if Lu Yan were to use his Divine Thought to command a Flying Sword to slay them all, the ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to find Lu Yan’s trace.

Magical Power, physical body, Divine Soul, the threefold foundation had transformed to the utmost degree during the process of establishing the Supreme Dao Foundation.

Besides, during the process of substituting man for heaven, Lu Yan took a moment to comprehend the spells, using the Heavenly Dao Position to perform various mystical means.

Previously, Lu Yan only mastered some first-tier basic spells and wasn’t strong in spell combat, relying mostly on the Soul Banner as the main method.

However, after that moment of Celestial Dao realization, upon returning to his body, Lu Yan discovered that he had fully comprehended all the tier one and two techniques below Divine Techniques.

Even though Lu Yan previously might not have known the names of those techniques, he could easily deduce low-tier spells amidst the Celestial Dao realization.

Except for those reaching tier two supreme level known as Divine Power Embryo Skills, the other techniques could be grasped at will.

The shortfall in techniques was completed, the threefold foundation of magical power, physical body, and Divine Soul transformed, meaning Lu Yan finally shook off the embarrassing situation of fully relying on the Soul Banner.

Lu Yan is confident that with his current foundation and spell methods, he can even defeat regular cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

Of course, if it were just these things, it wouldn’t be enough to be called a Supreme Dao Foundation.

After all, magical power, physical body, Divine Soul can all be supplemented with resources, and with massive top-tier resources, Lu Yan’s current foundation could potentially be reached.

The true core of the Supreme Dao Foundation lies in the Lifebound Divine Techniques nurtured within the Dao Foundation itself.

If a cultivator is remarkably talented, they can nurture a seed of Lifebound Divine Techniques within the Dao Foundation after Foundation Establishment.

Upon condensing a Golden Core, they can allow the Seed of Divine Power to break out, obtaining the method of Lifebound Divine Techniques.

Lifebound Divine Techniques differ from those that can be cultivated, they are unique trump cards of the cultivator.

In fact, the commonly circulated versions of most Divine Techniques in Xianxia are modified generic versions of ancient powerful Lifebound Divine Techniques.

Normally, the power of Lifebound Divine Techniques is approximately thirty percent higher than externally cultivated Divine Techniques, and in the Golden Core Stage, such a difference is a significant one.

And upon reaching Golden Core, the level of Dao Foundation differs, leading to distinctions in the Lifebound Divine Techniques nurtured within.

Normally, Human Dao Foundation Establishment cultivates ordinary Divine Techniques, Earth Dao Foundation Establishment offers hopes of mastering Earth Evil Divine Techniques, while Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment enables holding the legendary Celestial Spirit Great Divine Techniques.

As for the Supreme Dao Foundation, this was created by Lu Yan himself, combining the "Heavenly Dao Discussion," altering celestial transition with human replacing heaven, not a conventional Foundation Establishment Technique.

Within the Supreme Dao Foundation, Lu Yan sensed that a Seed of Divine Power is quietly being nurtured.

Its level: Supreme Great Divine Techniques!

Lu Yan does not know exactly what position Supreme Great Divine Techniques are, at the least, it should be above Celestial Spirit Great Divine Techniques.

Given that Celestial Spirit Great Divine Techniques are a method only the legends of Immortals can master, and the Xianxia versions with few legends left behind, to what level can Supreme Great Divine Techniques, ranked higher than Celestial Spirit Great Divine Techniques, reach?

Thinking of this, Lu Yan felt a ripple of excitement in his heart.

Unfortunately, the current stage of Supreme Divine Techniques doesn’t even constitute an embryo, merely a Seed of Divine Power in the process of nurturing, and Lu Yan may not yet be able to witness the power of Supreme Divine Techniques.

After sorting through the harvest brought by the Supreme Dao Foundation, Lu Yan finally let out a long sigh.

The original urban version goals have already largely been accomplished.

Although there are five months remaining until the next version update, Lu Yan has no thoughts of further hassle.

He plans to take advantage of this time to retreat and ponder the transformation brought by the Supreme Dao Foundation, and study the cultivation methods of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

With a slight wave of his right hand, the Soul Banner is inserted into the center of the courtyard, and ghosts and Yin Soldiers appear to maintain the daily affairs of the manor.

Lu Yan ascended to the second floor and seated himself in the Cultivation Room to begin his retreat.

...

During Lu Yan’s retreat period, changes were brewing outside Phoenix Mountain.

After the Lord of the Underworld took away the Beimang Forbidden Land, the Beimang Mountain Spiritual Vein finally appeared before the world.

In the entire Spiritual Energy Revival version, other places’ spiritual veins were still in the study and nurturing stages, the only fully formed one being the Beimang Mountain Spiritual Vein.

Furthermore, Lu Yan planted hundreds of Spirit Plants, making it a well-recognized blessed land in the urban version.

The Beimang Spiritual Vein instantly caused a scramble among various forces, everyone knowing that to occupy the Beimang Spiritual Vein meant holding the initiative of the Spiritual Energy Revival trend.

Some forces even resorted to foul play during the scramble for the spiritual vein, spreading rumors to devalue rival companies.

While the factions were fighting each other, Li Hao took the initiative to speak.

"This spiritual vein was left by the Blood God, without him speaking, aren’t you afraid of invoking the wrath of the Blood God by trespassing?"

Everyone knew Li Hao was putting on airs using the tiger’s skin as a flag, yet no one dared to refute his words.

Yin Soldiers, ghost deities, the Lord of the Underworld—the mysterious Underworld brought them too much shock, even the slightest possibility of provoking the Blood God made them unwilling to risk an attempt.

Ultimately, all parties decided that the Beimang Spiritual Vein would be held by Li Hao on behalf of the Blood God, with Li Hao overseeing joint development.
