```htmlChapter Seventy-Three: A Dead Friend is Better than a Live One for the Taoist

This Yu Zitong has been cultivating for several decades and has only reached the seventh level of Qi Training.
"Qi Training, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, God Transformation, Virtual Refinement, Body Integration, Great Ascension, Ascension; in this world, it only goes up to God Transformation, which is just right for me at this moment!"```
In the Eternal Three Thousand Great Worlds, there exists a world of cultivation, but in this world, one does not first transcend the Flesh Secret Realm; instead, they cultivate mana directly based on their innate spiritual roots.
Starting from scratch is actually quite similar to the cultivation process in the Divine Ability Secret Realm.
Although the method of immortality requires crossing the realm of the physical body first, once the magical power reaches at least five units, this world does not have the habit of measuring magical power in units of horsepower. However, before reaching the fifth layer of Qi training, the small amount of magical power within cannot directly control objects; it must be used through spells.
The subsequent cultivation practices are quite similar, focusing on building the foundation and forming the golden core. Although they are more refined than the Eternal Life Method, they follow a single-path approach to enlightenment. Relying on their innate spiritual roots, they cultivate solely one type of elemental energy. It isn't until the virtual refining realm that one needs to consider unifying the five elements. In contrast, the Eternal Life Method requires the unification of the five elements before forming the golden core.
The boundary is almost the same, but it's clear that the power system of the Eternal Life Technique is too high-end.
In this realm, the Golden Core of the Foundation Establishment is not the same concept as the Golden Core of the Eternal Life Technique; the latter is the Grand Dao Golden Core. In this realm, one must shatter the Golden Core to form the Nascent Soul, which then transforms into the Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Spirit comprehends the laws of the void, ultimately unifying spirit and flesh to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Only by breaking through the inner void and the outer void can one invoke the Heavenly Tribulation for ascension to immortality.
The approach remains the same, but this time we'll start with the practice of the eternal life method that combines spirit and flesh, which is much more intense. The specific situation still needs to be analyzed case by case; we cannot generalize.
After checking Doctor Mo's belongings, there were five one-hundred tael silver notes, more than twenty taels of small silver, and a few small bottles whose contents were unknown medicine.
There were also several bags of poison sand and a sleeve arrow that glinted sharply, all of which were deadly hidden weapons. This old fox is incredibly ruthless.
The basic cultivation technique of the Wood element, "Changchun Gong," only contains the content for the first nine layers. There are, however, a few spells at the end: Fireball Technique, Spirit Fixation Talisman, Wind Control Technique, Object Manipulation Technique, and Heavenly Eye Technique, all of which are beginner-level spells.
The only items for cultivation are the Spirit-Fixing Talisman and that set of Seven Ghosts Soul-Devouring blades.
After deriving the complete Changchun Skill, Yang Wuyue revealed a hint of unusual expression; it was a bit too meticulous. Perhaps it was due to the scarcity of strong cultivators in this realm, where the strongest could only reach the Nascent Soul stage, making it impossible to acquire vast amounts of the world's vital energy. The style of this technique leaned toward taking time to refine details, unlike his own divine abilities, which could serve both as a skill and in combat.
This Changchun Skill is a type of cultivation method, purely absorbing the wood spirit energy, which is far inferior to small divine powers like the vast heavenly aura.
“No wonder during the later stages, one needs to meditate and cultivate for decades or even hundreds of years; how can the refining efficiency be acceptable?” However, the foundation still lies in one's cultivation level. When one's cultivation level is sufficient, it naturally allows for the effortless creation of countless fireballs, which is not closely related to the cultivation method but rather pertains to the realm.
This does not mean that the cultivators in this realm are weak; even those in the Qi Refining stage, if they lack sufficient mana accumulation, can still display many extraordinary means through the use of magic tools.
“Hmm? Can the Immortal Realm be sensed from here as well?” Yang Wuyue was indifferent. The World Tree in his sea of consciousness was still continuously absorbing the pure energy of the Immortal Realm. This is not surprising given the nature of this treasure, as it can still draw immense amounts of energy without worrying about the lack of energy from this realm.
“Right now, the most important thing is to get Han Li's small bottle.”
The Zhang Tian Bottle is indeed powerful and useful; it can hasten the growth of spiritual herbs and possesses the laws of time along with remnants of chaos. However, it is a technique left behind by a Great Luo Daozu.
The Daoist Ancestor of this realm is not comparable to the Eternal Life World; the absolute strong beings of Eternal Life are all locked away in the Eternal Life Gate and cannot interfere with the mortal realm. However, the strong beings here may be a different story. For those whose cultivation exceeds that of the human realm, Yang Wuyue is still not prepared to take unnecessary risks.
Therefore, he is preparing to let Yu Zitong take action.
Because he needs the Zhangtian Bottle to comprehend the laws of time, the cultivation laws in this realm can only be grasped in the celestial realm, and the only thing that can access the laws of time and space is this item. He needs to draw from the power of time within it; perhaps he can gather the space-time energy required for the Linglong Daluotian.
For Yang Wuyue, at this moment, he indeed possesses quite a few magical powers, including the Fire Cloud Fairy's twenty-eight magical powers and the Great Disaster Technique. However, all these magical powers require corresponding vital energy to be refined to the level of Gangqi before ultimately evolving into a large formation.
He directly used telekinesis to mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth to form a great array. That kind of array was ethereal and feeble, relying on the external primordial energy of heaven and earth. If it were to encounter a powerful master, a single shock could disperse it; it was only feasible within a similar system like that of the "Night of the Coming."
In the current world, the difficulty of using mental power to manipulate the elemental energy of heaven and earth is quite significant.
If Han Li had already matured and become powerful, he would never dare to directly seize it; opposing the old demon Han would basically lead to a bad end.
Fortunately, Zhang Tie and Han Li met when they were both inexperienced. Han Li trusts him quite a bit; at this moment, Han Li is still very weak. Even though he can practice the Changchun skill, he doesn’t possess any spells and is not a match for him.
This place is still within the range of Caisun Mountain. About half an hour later, Yang Wuyue arrived at a small valley with Yu Zitong, who had successfully taken over a body. In the valley, there are several stone houses, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with birds singing and flowers flourishing. This is the old nest of Doctor Mo in the Qixuan Sect, known as the Shenshou Valley.
Now, apart from Han Li, there is no one else. Every night, he takes out the Palm Sky Bottle to absorb the moonlight and condense the green liquid that helps in maturing spirit herbs.
The noise generated when absorbing the moonlight is not small, and Han Li, at this moment, is not hiding it. After determining the location of the Palm Sky Bottle, Yang Wuyue has already made up his mind to take action.
“Go kill him and let me see your loyalty!” Yang Wuyue looked at Yu Zitong and said, “If you can't even take care of a person who hasn’t practiced any magic, then don't bother coming back.”
“放心！”余子童还没把此事当回事。
“谁！”韩立年纪不大，五感却颇为敏锐，意识到有人到来，竟是暗中上好了弩箭。
Yang Wuyue did not make an appearance, but instead sent Yu Zitong up. Zhang Tie’s age was not great, but his physique had become extremely burly due to practicing the Elephant Armor Technique.
“Zhang Ge! It’s you,” Han Li said in surprise, then joyfully exclaimed, “You’re back? Why did you suddenly leave two years ago? Were you worried that the fourth level of the Elephant Armor Technique would be too painful? I asked Doctor Mo to help you switch to a different technique.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tie suddenly struck, his palm piercing through his body and instantly penetrating his heart.
“You!” Han Li never expected Zhang Tie would strike out so suddenly. With Zhang Tie’s unmatched speed in the martial arts world, Han Li knew he couldn't react in time. In his final moments, he opened a bamboo tube and splashed a strange liquid onto Zhang Tie's body.
The sound of clicking echoed, but Zhang Tiejia's undead body felt no pain.
Yu Zitong sneered, unleashing a fireball spell from his hands; unfortunately for Old Demon Han, he hadn't even risen yet before being extinguished in the cradle.
“It seems that many worlds under the spirit realm are lost worlds, and the immortal realm appears to have not explored here!”
Yang Wuyue, seeing that no big shot had stepped in to destroy Yu Zitong, directly annihilated his soul. Before Yu Zitong had a chance to feel happy, he lost his life. After cleaning up the area, he took away the Zhangtian Bottle and searched through the room for some items.
“Huanglong Pill, strengthens the foundation and nurtures the essence”
“清灵散，可解百毒”
“Five Poison Liquid, corrosive to bones and flesh”
These are all legendary elixirs in the martial arts world, where many medicinal ingredients simply cannot meet the age requirements, often needing ginseng that is a thousand years old. This is all due to the miraculous properties of the Pantian Bottle.
“The great way is ruthless; the death of a friend does not concern the ascetic.”
The sun has no joy or sorrow; in the dark, one increasingly values life less. With a twist of a finger, a great fire will cleanse this place.
