Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

What altar?

The Nine Ceremony High Altar!

Xu Yang is going to hold a Luotian Dajiao ceremony.

But this isn’t to deal with “Lin Juefeng.”

A mere disciple of the Green Jade Sect, with just late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, is insignificant.

Not to mention him, even the Green Jade Sect behind him is nothing special.

What Xu Yang truly cares about is the Cultivation World.

Until now, he’s still unclear about the upper limits of the Cultivation World’s combat strength, and even the situation in Liang Country is not fully grasped or understood.

As the main world where his original body resides, and with such a vast difference in the flow of time compared to various Dream Worlds, one can’t help but indulge in fanciful speculations.

The level of combat power, especially at the upper echelons, how high does it really go, does it include real Immortals, how many great powers are there, those who have mastered Heaven Reaching arts, or the unknown secrets…

All of these arouse Xu Yang’s curiosity and he wishes to explore them.

Therefore, he decided to take a risk, to make a move, to use the Green Jade Sect as a bait, to stir the winds and clouds of the Liang Country Cultivation Realm, to probe the visage of the Cultivation Realm, to see if he could reel in any big fish or uncover any secrets.

In summary, it’s just two words—make trouble!

I’ve come to this world, to witness battles and strife!

Xu Yang is a person who likes to stir up trouble; this is evident from his Zhuanzhou Mengdie experiences and his Divine Travel Through Worlds adventures.

Conflicts of the Martial World, grudges of the Martial Arts World.

Dynastic changes, lands changing hands.

The Fish-Dragon Change, the havoc raised by demons…

All along the way, the many events, they were all him stirring trouble, with clear goals and clear directions.

This time is no exception.

He doesn’t plan to sit idly by and play out the cliché script with the Green Jade Sect of ‘defeat the junior and the senior comes, defeat the senior and the undying old comes.’

Some things, either you don’t stir, or… stir it big!

The initiative must be held in his own hands, to attack or to defend!

So, he is going to hold a Luotian Dajiao ceremony.

After all, the primary condition for stirring up trouble is to possess sufficient strength.

If you’re not strong enough but still cause trouble, that’s like the God of Longevity hanging himself—courting death.

Xu Yang is not crazy; needless to say, he won’t look for trouble or seek death.

On the contrary, he always believes in the doctrine of superior firepower and understands the principle that ‘even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength’—crush with overpowering strength when possible; he does not like fighting across boundaries, winning with the weaker against the strong.

Currently, his Cultivation is only at complete Foundation Establishment, and the Green Jade Sect is a Golden Core Sect, and even a thousand-year-old Golden Core Sect at that. Aside from the publicly known Pseudo Core elder, there are likely many more hidden resources they can rely on.

If not, how could the Tianshu Sect, possessing several Golden Cores and even a Nascent Soul seed, tolerate a Green Jade Sect, with only a Pseudo Core, dividing Liang Country with them?

If that’s the case with the Tianshu Sect, Xu Yang doesn’t even need to mention it; he’s not even at Golden Core, and his nominal strength is completely subpar to the Green Jade Sect.

Inadequate? Then make up for it.

Enhance your Cultivation, breakthrough the realm!

Foundation Establishment advancing to Golden Core is neither difficult nor easy to say.

First, you need a Cultivation Technique; without a technique, all is but empty talk.

In this regard, Xu Yang has no barriers. The World of Dao and Law has developed for a thousand years; it’s not just about Golden Core Skills—Nascent Soul Skills have also been deduced by the Wandao School, which is currently tackling the Mana Point of Divinity Transformation.

With the issue of Cultivation Technique resolved, the final consideration is the risk of breakthrough and the probability of success.

To reach Foundation Establishment, you need a union of the three elements, the convergence of the three brilliances.

To reach Golden Core, you need the congregation of the Five Qi towards the origin, with the Golden Core being swallowed.

Both involve great secrets of the human body and the bridge between heaven and earth; the risk of breaking through is inevitable—slight cases lead to possession by deviations, complete destruction of Cultivation, severe cases result in death and the dispersal of both body and divine soul.

Therefore, cultivators typically look for external Spiritual Objects for Dao Protection, not necessarily to aid in forming the Core, but at least to ensure they don’t die in case of failure.

Such spirit objects for breaking through the realm are extremely precious. Foundation Building Pills can be sold for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, let alone the Forming Core Spirit Objects for Golden Core—starting from a million Spirit Stones, you need to fiercely bid, and it’s not strange to multiply several times in the end.

After all, once life is lost, all is finished.

Unless you are a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator, do not attempt to form your Core lightly.

Xu Yang does not have a Heavenly Spiritual Root, not even a Spiritual Root, so he must seek external objects for protection.

A normal cultivator in such a situation can only struggle desperately, enduring bitter cultivation, to obtain one Forming Core Spirit Object.

But Xu Yang is not a normal cultivator; although he also doesn’t have a Forming Core Spirit Object, he has the Ancestor Master’s Altar and the Ritual Laws.

A Luotian Dajiao ceremony can solve all problems, not only saving you from death but also aiding in breakthroughs.

To achieve Golden Core is as easy as flipping a hand.

Advancing to Nascent Soul is also not a difficult task.

In the World of Dao and Law, the Wandao School used the Luotian Dajiao to cultivate over a thousand Seventh Realm cultivators, while countless Sixth Realm Golden Cores were countless.

What Forming Core Spirit Object can compare to this?

The only problem is that the Luotian Dajiao of the World of Dao and Law fundamentally uses the Fake Cultivation Skill created by the Ancient Immortal Gods to harvest the Divine Soul power of billions of people, transforming it into the power of the Ritual Laws, blessing the body of the cultivator.

In the real world, there is neither the Fake Cultivation Skill nor the billions of people.

What to do?

Xu Yang had anticipated this.

With a thousand years of diligent research and the collective wisdom and efforts of the Wandao School, he finally thoroughly understood the principles of the Luotian Dajiao, creating an altered version—the Yuan Spirit version of the Luotian Dajiao.

Using the power of the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit to substitute for the Divine Soul power of the masses, a Luotian Dajiao can also be conducted.

The only downside is the expenditure.

How could the Heavenly Earth Prime Spirit be mobilized at will?

Apart from the part that is boosted by the array, the rest can only be substituted with Spirit Stones.

Consequently, one can imagine the consumption of Spirit Stones.

With Fish and Dragon Island’s current assets, it would be possible to hold only one Luotian Dajiao ceremony, on a relatively smaller scale at that, just enough for Xu Yang alone to achieve Golden Core. There’s no possibility to include the other Foundation Establishment complete spiritual pets and Spirit Monsters.
