Chapter 372: Chapter 243: Cultivation World 33
Si Lingle began her first cultivation as guided by the Jade Scroll. As her breathing gradually reached a harmonious state, she felt the surrounding Water and Wood Spiritual Qi rush in like a tide.
Outside the cave residence, the green bamboo swayed without wind, and the leaves rustled; inside, the Spiritual Spring turned into mist, swirling rapidly.
The two types of Spiritual Qi entered her body, the Water Spiritual Power nourishing her meridians like a stream, while the Wood Spiritual Power sprouted like spring grass breaking through the earth.
After three hours, Si Lingle opened her eyes, a flash of green glinting in her gaze.
Outside the cave, the green bamboo had grown unexpectedly three inches taller than it was at dusk, with tender new buds emerging at the nodes; a few unknown grasses had sprouted through the crevices, growing and blooming visibly with the naked eye.
Si Lingle gathered her strength, and in her palm appeared an illusory image of a green lotus formed by condensed water vapor, entwined with shimmering green spirit light at its lotus heart.
Indeed, the "Taiyi Qingming Technique" was powerful, enabling the casting of many spells.
Attack-type spells: Taiyi Spirit Arrow, transforming Spiritual Power into arrows to attack.
Taiyi Thunder Skill, wielding Purple Sky Divine Thunder for attacks.
Support-type spells: Frost and Snow Shocking Heaven, casting Ice Element magic to freeze. Green Moth Cocoon, a defensive spell, twice as strong as ordinary magic spells. Taiyi Golden Light Divine Spell, using golden light to protect the body, resisting Heart Demon and Evil Technique invasions.
Special mechanism spells: Yin Yang Transformation Extreme Technique, temporarily converting one’s own Spiritual Power attribute (e.g., Wood to Water, Fire to Gold) to break through an opponent’s Five Elements resistance.
Si Lingle originally knew these spells as she could achieve attribute transformation when cultivating the Warlock Technique in her modern-day world.
Thousand Silk Guide, automatically generating threads of Spiritual Power to entangle the enemy.
Taiyi Ghost Commanding Technique, manipulating souls and ghost soldiers, summoning Youluo Sect’s Five Yin Ghost Servants to fight cooperatively.
Taiyi Divine Number Prediction Technique, predicting fortunes and misfortunes through numerical calculations, temporarily modifying the probability of future events (e.g., reducing the intensity of Heavenly Tribulation), yet tampering with cause and effect accelerates the accumulation of karmic force.
However, the "Taiyi Qingming Technique" was still not as strong as the "All Things Technique," which could cast more spells.
Great Derivation Technique, Qiankun Shift, Ice and Fire Two Realms, Wind and Thunder, Mirror Flower Water Moon, Five Elements Earth Escape Technique, Separation and Corpse Cutting Technique, Black Tortoise Body Protection Technique, Refining God Technique, Universe Calamity Technique, etc.
Separation and Corpse Cutting Technique: Dividing one’s Divine Sense across different planes of time and space to achieve a "pseudo-immortal" state, but the more divisions made, the less stable the Divine Sense.
Refining God Technique: Enhancing Divine Sense to be ten times stronger than cultivators of the same stage, with the ability to split Divine Sense to control puppets or interfere with the enemy’s thinking using Telepathy.
Universe Calamity Technique: Harnessing the power of stars to form a meteor shower, causing continuous burning and knock-back effects on targets within range.
Si Lingle continued her cultivation, thus going into seclusion for five years, during which her cultivation improved slightly.
Upon leaving seclusion, Si Lingle found it puzzling how much the Spiritual Energy of this world had decreased.
Because she had used Immortal Crystals for cultivation during her seclusion, she had not noticed the decrease in Spiritual Energy.
It was only after leaving seclusion that she felt it.
Little Zi transmitted, "The wounds of this world have worsened, and to maintain its operation, the world’s Heavenly Dao has been drawing Spiritual Energy for self-repair."
"If no treasures for world restoration emerge, the world’s Heavenly Dao might extract all the Spiritual Energy, turning this world into one without Spiritual Energy."
Si Lingle thought to herself: Without Spiritual Energy, the cultivators of this world would all become mere mortals.
After leaving seclusion, Si Lingle went to the Task Hall to check on tasks.
The first task was to find treasures that could heal the world’s wounds. Anyone who found such treasures could earn 500,000 Contribution Points and a Special Order.
The Special Order could be used to access any level of the Book Collection Tower and could also be exchanged for Magic Treasures.
This task did not need to be accepted; as long as the treasure for world healing was found, one could come to claim the reward.
Si Lingle undertook tasks involving collecting Spirit Plants and hunting Wild Beasts.
Due to the decline in Spiritual Energy, Spirit Plants had become precious, and the Contribution Points for collecting them had increased.

Si Lingle walked alone in the Great Rift Valley, her garments fluttering, and her Sword Intent cut through the morning mist.
As Si Lingle stood at the edge of the rift, the earth suddenly collapsed. Amidst the shattering rock layers, a giant beast covered in purple-flame scales roared skyward, its form resembling a hundred-legged drake lizard with three vertical eyes on its forehead—none other than the Nascent Soul Stage Huimeng, with the bloodline of a Wild Beast.
Huimeng radiated ancient ferocity all around, its Early-stage Nascent Soul realm bursting with strength comparable to Nascent Soul Perfection due to its Wild Beast bloodline, its venomous saliva scorching the grass and trees to ash where it dripped.
Si Lingle’s Sea of Consciousness trembled violently, and her Lifebound Spirit Sword Qingchu Sword unsheathed itself to resist Huimeng’s fierce aura.
