I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Chapter 394: Chapter 164: Perfection of Pure Yang Five Elements Technique, Shen Xinyi’s Vision

The Flying Skill is a rather mysterious magic, allowing one to soar in the sky, surpassing countless speed-type magics.

However, its drawbacks are also quite obvious, with its relatively slow speed.

It’s like a clumsy goose, capable of taking off briefly, but unable to soar freely at high speeds like a true bird.

Moreover, it can only fly at low altitudes.

Zhou Changwang tested it out and discovered that once his flight altitude exceeded ten zhang, the consumption of Spiritual Power would increase significantly. The higher he flew, the faster the consumption.

Although he could keep flying as long as his Spiritual Power was inexhaustible, flying above ten zhang, even with his current level of Spiritual Power, he could only maintain it for half a stick of incense time.

"Nevertheless, since the Flying Skill is fundamentally a flying magic, having various drawbacks during the Entry Level is quite normal.

I believe that as the level of this magic improves, my speed will increase, and the consumption at higher altitudes will decrease."

After Zhou Changwang successfully landed, he couldn’t hide his joy on his face.

Then he cast the spell again.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After five breaths, the magic succeeded, and he flew up again.

Repeating this over and over.

It wasn’t until after ten times that the excitement in his heart finally subsided.

Then he turned his focus to the second magic, the Earth Escape Technique.

This magic is indeed much more difficult than the Flying Skill.

Even though he had the foundational Wall-Penetrating Technique, after familiarizing himself with the corresponding Dharma Rune Structure, it took him three hours, nearly a hundred continuous practice attempts, to successfully cast it for the first time.

Earth Escape Technique +1

Zhou Changwang immediately felt the soil beneath him become incredibly soft, as if he could readily ’jump’ into it.

Without hesitation, he pushed his feet down.

Swoosh!

His entire body immediately dived into the soil below.

"Once underground, in some respects, it’s not very different from flying.

You can move freely in all directions, traversing at will.

Moreover, the speed isn’t too slow; it’s comparable to normal running... The only problem is that the consumption of Spiritual Power is enormous!"

Zhou Changwang felt this quietly, sensing everything as he burrowed underground, only to realize that his Spiritual Power was being consumed rapidly.

In a mere ten breaths, he had already expended thirty percent.

In other words, with his current level of Spiritual Power, he could only maintain it for thirty breaths of time.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Spiritual Power consumption of the Earth Escape Technique is not constant.

Rather, it is determined by the hardness of the soil underground.

If passing through soft soil, the Spiritual Power consumption is lower. If it’s hard Spirit Soil, the consumption increases, and when passing through rock-hard stones or Spiritual Ore, the consumption is exceedingly high.

While attempting to pass through a big rock, in just three breaths, his Spiritual Power consumption surpassed thirty percent...

"Thus, the risk of casting this magic is actually extremely high.

If the Spiritual Power suddenly depletes while Earth Escaping, you’ll be subjected to the pressure of surrounding soil, even stone.

If the physical body can’t withstand it, you might die instantly.

Even if it holds up, sudden earthly pressure can injure you, trapping you underground, and in time, you might suffocate to death..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Changwang quickly moved upward and soon resurfaced from the soil.

With a quick scan, he found he had directly emerged into the courtyard, inside his Cultivation Secret Room.

After a moment’s contemplation, Zhou Changwang decided to sit in meditation directly in his Cultivation Secret Room, operating the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique to restore the Spiritual Power inside his body.

A complete Circulation cycle later.

Pure Yang Five Elements Technique +1

The Spiritual Power within Zhou Changwang’s body was restored once more.

Glancing at the attribute panel, he showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Pure Yang Five Elements Technique (Great Success 796/800)

"The Pure Yang Five Elements Technique is about to reach Perfection?

Just four more Circulations?"

Zhou Changwang pondered, and it was only four Circulations, so he immediately began cultivating.

One Circulation, two Circulations, three Circulations, four Circulations.

Cultivation +1

Simultaneously.

Boom~!

Zhou Changwang’s Heart Spirit quaked.

In an instant, he felt the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique in his body, already extremely rapid, suddenly surge more than twice as fast, spinning swiftly like a spiral.

At the same time, in his heart, countless insights about the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique arose, as if, in a brief moment, he had practiced this Cultivation Technique thousands of times.

Moreover, numerous insights also arose within him at this moment.

Perhaps these insights were accumulations from before, or perhaps they were inspired by his Heart Spirit entering a state of emptiness after the technique’s sudden rapid operation...

At this moment, it felt almost like enlightenment.

He quickly noticed that the route diagram of the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique, which previously seemed perfect, could be optimized again. If he made certain adjustments to the operation route, the effects would be stronger, and the Spiritual Power cultivated would be more solid and pure...

Feeling as though blessed with a sudden inspiration.

Zhou Changwang began, following the insights in his heart, to modify his operation route, optimizing the Spiritual Energy operation method of the cultivation.

For instance, a certain meridian or Acupoint Skill that he previously passed straight through, after adjusting and optimizing, with a brief pause or a slight twist, enabled the Spiritual Power he cultivated to be slightly more pure, or slightly increased the efficiency of absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi...
