Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Announcing the Cultivation Technique

After leaving Jiang Li’s spiritual platform, Bai Hongtu quickly recovered from his stunned state, “Wouldn’t you say that this is a record-breaking discovery, we’ve managed to advance the cultivation process of the spiritual platform so much.”

Jiang Li shook his head, “It’s not our invention. The history of the Immortal Realm is long, and there are family clans among the immortals. I’ve heard an old immortal saying that immortal clans often have unique methods as the foundation of their clan. They keep these methods a secret, hence, there is an immortal guarding their family while they also have leading cultivation techniques for their peers. This is the reason for the immortality of the immortal homes. Among these unique methods, there are methods to advance the cultivation of the spiritual platform.”

“That’s really efficient. There’s a reason Bai Hongtu said this, as the three of them planned to spread the method of spiritual platform cultivation all over the Nine Provinces.”

“I will announce this spiritual platform cultivation method on behalf of the three of us,” said Jiang Li.

“You don’t have to include my name,” Yu Yin didn’t wish to draw too much attention.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu then persuaded Yu Yin, and she finally agreed to include her name.

Seeing Yu Yin agree, Jiang Li continued, “Speaking of which, I have another idea.”

“What?

“I want to establish Sutra Collection Pavilions in various places and announce some common cultivation techniques.”

“That’s a good idea.” Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin nodded in agreement, after all, Jiang Li had done similar things before.

Now, apart from the “Spiritual Energy Map”, there is also a very basic cultivation technique that can be practiced all the way from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Body Integration Realm.

This is a cultivation technique written by Jiang Li himself – “Seed Technique”.

Any cultivator can practice this technique, there is no threshold. However, the biggest problem with this technique is that it has no uniqueness.

For example, Jiang Li casually wrote a bunch of cultivation techniques, sold them to the system, and exchanged them for source points. These techniques might be mostly low-quality, but each had its own features. Even the least useful technique could eat or sleep well.

However, the “Seed Technique” is a problem as it can’t do anything after cultivation. It is a very simple Body Integration Realm technique. Its purpose is to provide an optional cultivation technique for those who have no other methods.

In fact, this technique has another function—it allows people to understand the detailed cultivation process from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Body Integration Realm as well as the characteristics of each realm.

Because of the popularity of the “Seed Technique”, every cultivator in Nine Provinces knows how to cultivate to the Body Integration Realm.

For example, at the very beginning, in the Mysterious Secret Realm, a group of small cultivators would let their imaginations run wild in their dreams, imagining how powerful they could potentially become. They could even envision the specifics of the Body Integration Realm.

This can be credited to the teachings of teachers and the Elders of Transmission, who explained the “Seed Technique” in the beginner’s cultivation course.

Otherwise, no matter how rich their imaginations were, they wouldn’t be able to envision what a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm might look like.

It’s more accurate to say that the “Seed Technique” is a textbook than a cultivation technique.

Therefore, one “Seed Technique” is far from enough. The “Seed Technique” can be used, but it’s not the most suitable.

The ways for cultivators to cultivate vary greatly, combined with various spiritual roots, different physiques, and different talents for cultivation, resulting in countless cultivation techniques.

“With the propagation of the ‘Seed Technique’, although the level of cultivators has generally not reached the Body Integration Realm, they have learned the theoretical basics of cultivation to the Body Integration Realm.”

“My plan for the next step is to announce some common cultivation methods.”

Not all techniques are confidential. Some techniques are widely circulated among the major sects and dynastic regimes. These techniques are cultivated by outer sect disciples or relatives. All of these techniques have high standards and can be cultivated to the Body Integration Realm.

Jiang Li plans to announce these techniques.

If he can, Jiang Li also wants to propagate the techniques that were sold to the system.

However, considering that those techniques are of very little practical use, and even somewhat humorous, Jiang Li gave up on this idea.

The system doesn’t discriminate, as long as the technique can be cultivated to the Body Integration Realm, it buys it at the price of a technique for the Body Integration Realm, completely disregarding the practical use of the technique.

“That’s actually a good idea.”

The three of them have similar beliefs in this regard, they believe that the value of a technique lies in its propagation. There is no absolutely perfect technique in the world, even if the techniques of the three of them are nearly perfect, they will continue to find faults in the technique and improve it as their experience and cultivation increase.

The techniques that the three of them are practicing now are vastly different from the initial versions.

Being able to recognize the deficiencies of a technique and modify it is because the three of them are talented. An ordinary cultivator would find this difficult. After their cultivation improves, they would only feel that the flow of spiritual energy is stagnant and wouldn’t be able to recognize the problem with the technique.

“The more people there are practicing the same technique, the more likely they are to recognize the faults in the technique, or have enemies targeting the technique’s faults and making countermeasures. In the process, the technique will be continuously improved.”

The “Spiritual Energy Map” is a good example. Even though it was written by an immortal of the Immortal Realm, it still had many problems.

As the “Spiritual Energy Map” was propagated over the Nine Provinces, it was continuously improved and perfected, finally becoming its current version. Even with Jiang Li’s critical eye, he couldn’t find any error in the “Spiritual Energy Map”.

The viewpoints of the three are in minority. More factions prefer to cherish their techniques and are unwilling to share.

“I’ll handle this. This way, if the other factions come protesting, they’ll only come to me, they won’t look for you guys,” said Jiang Li, the Human Emperor, taking responsibility.

Bai Hongtu sneered, “You’re looking down on people when you say that. The Dao Sect is the biggest power apart from the Imperial Palace, what are we afraid of? Unless they don’t want the subsequent methods of spiritual treasure cultivation.”

Previously, despite Bai Hongtu providing techniques for spiritual treasure cultivation for free, this does not mean that the Dao Sect is a charity. If someone dares to interject, Bai Hongtu will definitely not supply that faction with subsequent methods, and will prevent them from disclosing information to other factions.

Yu Yin was also fearless. She had no reasons, she just wasn’t afraid of trouble.

As the only Monarch in the Nine Great Dynasties who has reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, she has the courage to be fearless.

Just like drawing the map of the Nine Provinces, what Jiang Li is currently doing is also something that no previous Human Emperors have ever done.

Before this, Jiang Li didn’t directly announce various techniques because he was worried that cultivators would be dazzled and confused by the array of techniques, only focusing on selecting the highest level ones but not the ones suited to them, thus, confusing the priority.

Therefore, he first allowed the “Seed Technique” to propagate, so that the lower level cultivators would not go insane after seeing the Body Integration Realm techniques.

With the adaptation period over, it is now time to propagate the new techniques.

“Then it’s settled. We will announce the spiritual platform cultivation method and the common techniques, with all of our names attached,” Yu Yin got up, ready to leave.

Jiang Li was curious, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to visit the Confucian disciples. There’s a Confucian technique called ‘As the Word Appears, so does the Law’, I want to combine this technique with my drawing technique to see if I can make a breakthrough.”

“That’s a good idea.” Jiang Li knew right away that this was not an idea that could be easily conceived.

After Yu Yin left, Jiang Li also planned to leave.

The system has issued another task, the task reward is a main ingredient for refining the Sun Yang Toxin Pill, Soul Severing Water.
