Chapter 414: Chapter 233: Array Dao Ceremony, Changes in the Inner Domain_2
Xu Yan stepped into the place where the Earth Spirit Jade was located.
The Divine Intent State was already within reach.
Yu Xiaolong looked puzzled at the tunnel around him, always feeling that the tunnel seemed to have undergone some changes, yet he couldn’t figure out exactly what had changed.
Xu Yan’s sword intent, representative of the mountains and rivers, has already encompassed this section of the tunnel.
Fresh and rich spiritual energy came to face hime. Xu Yan waved his hand to close the open rock wall, looked forward, and in a small stone recess, there was a pool of jade marrow as bright white as slurry!
In the small Earth Spirit Jade marrow pool, there suddenly appeared a pale yellow gas in the form of a python. It circled around the pool, sometimes diving into the jade marrow pool, and sometimes hovering in the small stone cave.
“Earth Spirit Dragon Qi? How come it’s here?”
Yu Xiaolong exclaimed in surprise.
“This is the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi?”
Xu Yan was overjoyed.
He could feel the extraordinariness of the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi. If absorbed, it could immediately accumulate enough foundation.
“Indeed, this is the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi!”
Yu Xiaolong excitedly came out of Xu Yan’s wrist.
“How come it’s here? Could it be that a second Earth Spirit Dragon Qi has emerged from Mang Mountain?”
Xu Yan approached the Earth Spirit Jade, his sword intent had already spread throughout the stone cave. The Earth Spirit Dragon Qi, seemingly startled, darted out, pounced on the rock wall, and tried to flee.
“Don’t let the Dragon Qi escape!”
Yu Xiaolong transformed into a ray of light, pounced on it, opened his mouth at the same time, intending to suck in the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi.
However, an image of mountains and rivers materialized, with the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi encircling the middle. The mountains-rivers image suddenly retracted, bringing along the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi into Xu Yan’s body.
“I’m going to practice now, you guard the surroundings.”
Xu Yan took a deep breath and sat cross-legged in front of the Earth Spirit Jade and said.
Yu Xiaolong swallowed his saliva, shrank to the entrance of the stone cave, coiling up there without moving.
Xu Yan was too powerful. He effortlessly captured the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi, and what is that image of mountains and rivers exactly?
With the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi entering his body, Xu Yan began refining it, nurturing himself, accumulating foundation, and preparing for the breakthrough and transformation into the Divine Intent State.
As soon as the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi entered his body, it became mild, just like spiritual energy, and was refined bit by bit.
It’s a spirit item surpassing first-rate objects. The characteristic of the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi is to escape upon encountering living beings. It does not possess spiritual wisdom or consciousness.
…
Inner Realm, Canglan Island.
Li Xuan sat in his chair, continuing to study the Book of Tai Cang, while also trying to perfect the martial arts of the strange door as much as possible.
What disappointed him was that the array diagram had been circulated for quite a long time, and yet no one had understood anything from it.
“Is it limited by the Inner Realm Martial Arts, unable to find talented individuals?”
Li Xuan frowned.
Xu Junhe and others are all practicing diligently.
Red Cat was learning to recognize and write words, while also observing the array diagram.
Su Lingxiu was practicing alchemy of the void and comprehending the Dan Medical Martial Code, especially the law of Divine Intent State.
Meng Chong continued to practice, striving to break through to the perfection of Tongxuan as soon as possible.
“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has killed a Refining God Heavenly Man Martial Artist, and your battle experience has increased.”
The Daoist Golden Book opened, and golden light emerged.
Li Xuan: …
Killed a Refining God again?
What’s up with Xu Yan? As soon as he entered the Ling Domain, he killed a Refining God Heavenly Man, and now he has killed another one?
Following this trend, I’m afraid it won’t be long before he provokes a Refining God Heavenly Man, right?
Li Xuan suddenly felt some pressure.
“The Divine Origin Realm is still a little weak!”
Although, with his current strength, killing a Refining God Heavenly Man should not be a problem.
However, Refining God Heavenly Men also have different strengths. If he encounters a top-notch Refining God Heavenly Man, whether he can kill it is an unknown number.
“I hope Xu Yan will understand the Divine Skill Realm technique as soon as possible. Only with the Divine Skill Realm, will he truly feel confident!”
Li Xuan sighed in his heart.
Once one reaches the Divine Skill Realm, killing a Refining God is as easy as killing an ant, which is normal.
In this way, even if Xu Yan provokes many major forces and is chased by a group of Refining God Heavenly Men, he, as a master, can suppress it.
Once a Divine Skill emerges, suppressing a group of Refining God Heavenly Men should not be a problem, right?
“Strange Door Martial Arts, where do I find my fourth disciple?”
Li Xuan sighed.
If he can comprehend the Strange Door Martial Arts, mastering the law of arrays, he can set up a large array and bury any number of Refining God Heavenly Men that come.
“The Martial Arts of Strange Doors imbue artifact refining, formation, prohibition and so forth. Some array diagrams have been created. Why not utilize some spare time to compile a comprehensive manual on the Dao of Formation?”
Li Xuan suddenly had an idea.
Since a fourth pupil had not yet been found, it would be prudent to use spare time compiling the diagrams into a full manual on the Dao of Formation.
Deciding to act on it immediately, Li Xuan began working on the manual.
Dahua was developing rapidly, having completely replaced the former state of Yue.
Guo Rongshan looked at the elderly guest who came to visit and couldn’t help but feel startled inside; this man was incredibly powerful.
“What business brings you here, sir?”
Guo Rongshan asked with his composed expression.
“Elder Guo, I’m here to join Dahua and serve as a minister in the inner cabinet, willing to follow your command.”
The visitor spoke solemnly.
Guo Rongshan’s brows twitched slightly; wanting to serve in Dahua’s inner cabinet and willing to take orders from him, the grand elder, signified a high status in Dahua.
It could also mean throwing a powerful force under his command.
So far, there were no ministry posts in the Dahua inner cabinet and Guo Rongshan was perplexed about their objectives.
“I will need to consider your proposal,” Guo Rongshan replied.
The visitor nodded, saying, “Elder Guo, I’m a Half-step Heavenly Man fully capable of taking on the role of a minister. Dahua needs strong power, and so do you, Elder Guo!”
Guo Rongshan was taken aback. Although Half-step Heavenly Man was easily vanquished by his own grandson, this did not imply weakness of being a Half-step Heavenly Man.
In the current Inner Domain, aside from Canglan Island, a Half-step Heavenly Man was still among the top tiers of strength.
“I will carefully consider your proposal,” Guo Rongshan nodded.
What he did not expect was that in the ensuing days, several potent beings came to become part of Dahua’s inner cabinet. All without exception were Half-step Heavenly Man powerhouses.
Moreover, these were long-hidden patriarchal figures of top-tier factions.
This matter was so enormous that Guo Rongshan could not make a decision on his own. He sent a message to Canglan Island to ask his son-in-law Xu Junhe.
Xu Junhe, too, could not make up his mind, so he sought Li Xuan’s advice.
“They can serve as ministers in the inner cabinet, as long as they abide by the ministry’s rules. Moreover, if someone stronger appears, they will have to step down.
“At that point, we can give them the honor of retiring from their post.”
Li Xuan pondered and then said.
He, to a certain extent, understood the intentions of these powerful beings.
The bottom line was that with no promising future for the Martial Arts in the Inner Domain, if they entered the Ling Domain, they would become inferiors. As otherworldly patriarchs who were used to being on top, they couldn’t handle such humiliation.
If they didn’t have another path to choose, for the sake of Martial Arts, they would force themselves to endure, and even becoming servants would not be out of the question.
However, Dart Martial Arts provided them with a second choice.
As a result, they opted for Dahua and, looking at the trend, they seemed to completely change the Inner Domain into Dahua, freeing it from the tyranny of the Ling Domain!
Li Xuan dispatched a portion of his divine origin into a Spirit Jade, which he gave to Guo Rongshan as a protective charm.
In the presence of this Divine Origin Jade card, these Half-step Heavenly Men would have to behave themselves.
He passed on a message to Bai Yun Kong and Pang Yu to enter Dahua’s Inner Cabinet as ministers to maintain a balance of resources.
As such, the Inner Domain was undergoing significant changes.
Li Xuan noted that the silhouettes of the Thousand Warriors were increasing, and they weren’t far from ten thousand in number.
He contemplated deeply.
It was time to deliberate on how peak Great Grandmasters and Half-step Heavenly Men should change their cultivation from Inner Realm Martial Arts to Dahua Martial Arts.
At present, Grandmasters required medicinal assistance which had some limitations in their cultivation change process.
If they didn’t need medicinal help, Li Xuan believed that the number of Dahua Martial Artists in the Innate state would significantly increase, rapidly improving the strength of the Inner Realm’s Martial Arts.
“Once Dahua replaces the Inner Domain, I should optimize the cultivation change method.”
Li Xuan made up his mind.
With the Daoist Golden Book at hand, optimizing the cultivation change method would not be challenging. Given the existing Cultivation Technique, it would not be too hard to comprehend.
He continued to work on the Dao of Formation Manual, having compiled eighteen formations already.
Li Xuan was still studying the second page of the Book of Tai Cang.
The Heaven and Earth Laws were ultimately mysterious. To gain something worthwhile, it required time and diligence.
With the establishment of Dahua’s inner cabinet ministry, Guo Rongshan sat at the head of the room. He looked at the Half-step Heavenly Men, holding a Jade Plaque in his possession.
At this moment, while a trace of qi and blood seeped into the Jade Plaque, an unseen, all-encompassing, and imposing might began to spread.
“I hope everyone will honor the rules of the ministry!”
Guo Rongshan looked sternly at the Half-step Heavenly Men.
All the Half-step Heavenly Men present felt a tightening in their spirits as if a massive mountain was hanging over their consciousness, threatening to strike them down at any moment!
