Chapter 212: Chapter 103: Yin Yang Balanced Celestial Domain, Triple Speed Cultivation

He couldn’t stop practicing the Nine Breath Qi Ingestion Technique. Magical Power was the foundation of all Divine Power Techniques.

While the Forest Spirit Scripture had its own unique Qi Cultivation Method, it was no match for the Nine Breath Qi Ingestion Technique’s ability to operate automatically, no matter how exquisite or compatible it was. At least, not for now.

Second was refining the Golden Marrow Spirit Liquid. This would take an hour at most, but it directly determined the upper limit of the Eternal Golden Bell Divine Technique.

With his mind working at high speed, Jiang Xuan thought of several more ways to use the Eternal Golden Bell to accelerate his Cultivation. Under these circumstances, refining the Golden Marrow Spirit Liquid was essential.

The third item was practicing the Spring Equinox·Yin Yang Balance Method.

’The fourth is the Spell representing the Grain Rain solar term: the Five Grains Harvest Order. It blesses the earth and gives back in the form of Cultivation. I feel like there’s a profound mystery to this Spell...’

Pressed for time and with his course of action set, Jiang Xuan immediately entered Meditation to practice.

As he busied himself with Cultivation, the one thing Jiang Xuan was grateful for was that his many tasks didn’t have to be done sequentially; they could be carried out simultaneously.

For instance, moving the books from the Scripture Pavilion into his Memory Palace could be done alongside practicing the Yin Yang Balance Method. He found all the cultivation insights related to the Spring Equinox in the Scripture Pavilion, recording them as he experienced them.

And throughout this process, the Nine Breath Qi Ingestion Technique continued to operate without pause.

In just two or three short days, another twenty to thirty acupoints had opened within Jiang Xuan’s body. He was only one night away from forming his Second Spirit Core.

Of course, this was just the initial formation. Achieving Perfection would still require a considerable amount of time.

And so, enveloped by the Dao Rhyme of the Scripture Pavilion, Jiang Xuan trained arduously behind closed doors for the entire night.

The next morning, he wanted to continue holing up in the Scripture Pavilion to cultivate.

The boon of Sixfold Spirituality was simply too intoxicating.

However, remembering his arranged duel with Su Xingying, he had no intention of breaking his promise.

But he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he pushed open the east-facing window of the Scripture Pavilion and looked out at the eastern sky.

Then, at the moment dawn broke and the first ray of morning light tore through the night sky, Jiang Xuan immediately began breathing Spiritual Qi according to the Rejuvenation True Words Technique, intending to nurture a wisp of Primordial Yang Qi within his Dantian.

This step... was not easy.

As a type of gas that only manifested between Heaven and Earth at the very instant of dawn, Primordial Yang Qi was a form of the Power of Heaven and Earth. Capturing it and nurturing it within his Dantian was just as difficult as comprehending the Revival Dao Rhyme.

For this very reason, when ordinary Cultivators practiced the Rejuvenation True Words, some would sit in meditation for months without even managing to complete this first step.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan was no ordinary Cultivator.

More importantly, he was currently in the Scripture Pavilion, blessed with Sixfold Spirituality. The number of clever shortcuts he could think of was simply staggering.

—Even before standing at the window, he had already completed the preliminary preparations for the Feast Ceremony inside the pavilion.

Now, with an empty, rumbling stomach, he looked at the newborn sun, opened his mouth, and began to swallow great gulps of air.

GULP, GULP...

Most of what he swallowed into his stomach was ordinary air.

But Jiang Xuan didn’t care. He would exhale the waste gases, but somewhere in the mix, some Primordial Yang Qi from between Heaven and Earth would inevitably be drawn into his stomach.

Most notably, while swallowing the gases of Heaven and Earth, he also activated his Nether Abyss Dharma Eye and created a Gravitational Singularity in front of himself.

In an instant, all the Power of Heaven and Earth within a radius of several hundred meters was pulled in by the singularity and continuously swallowed into his belly.

After devouring everything voraciously for the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Jiang Xuan finally absorbed enough Primordial Yang Qi to firmly establish a wisp of the Spring Root in his Dantian, stepping into the First Realm of the Rejuvenation True Words in a single move.

And in the next half-incense-stick’s time, relying on the Revival Dao Rhyme he had long since comprehended, he advanced with unstoppable momentum, pushing the Technique directly to the Third Realm: Mastery (Minor Success).

’All things and all spirits possess the ability to revive; it is merely a matter of degree. The Third Realm of the Rejuvenation True Words uses Primordial Yang Qi to activate the Revival Dao Rhyme within another’s body... It’s not just about revival. Rebirth of the Primordial, the renewal of all things... I feel like the Rejuvenation True Words holds a great secret...’

The Sixfold Spirituality gave Jiang Xuan a strange feeling that the Rejuvenation True Words was ranked first among the Twenty-four Solar Terms Spells of Four Seasons Valley not just because it corresponded to Li Chun, but for a deeper, more profound reason.

Unfortunately, even with Sixfold Spirituality, Jiang Xuan couldn’t quite grasp this hidden secret.

Then, seeing that the time for his appointment with Su Xingying was approaching, Jiang Xuan stopped pondering the matter. He withdrew the Technique and leaped toward the Sect’s Martial Arts Arena.

「...」

As Jiang Xuan hurried toward the Martial Arts Arena, Su Xingying was in her private courtyard on Star Sword Peak, having already made her own thorough preparations.

HUMMM—

A soft hum resonated as a Celestial Star sank into her Dantian Sea of Qi. At this moment, her Sea of Qi was no longer like that of an ordinary Cultivator, where only Spiritual Qi gathered.

Hundreds of points of starlight were shining brilliantly within her Dantian, like all the stars in the sky descending upon the mortal world.

This was the astral projection of the acupoints all over her body within her Dantian. It was her Divine Power Seed, and even more so, it was her anchor connecting her to the Stars of the Circulation in the nine heavens.

Right now, most of the starlight within her was illusory, but three great stars shone with a light so brilliant it seemed tangible.

Those three great stars corresponded to the Dubhe Star, Vega, and the Yao Guang Star in the cosmos.

This was the path of Cultivation on Star Sword Peak. Although they established their Dao through the sword, initiates first had to borrow the Power of the Stars of the Circulation to forge their Sword Heart and Sword Intent.

Of course, a Sword Cultivator’s path is one of self-reliance.

If Su Xingying wished to achieve the True Master Fruit Position in the future, she would have to personally shatter all these borrowed stars. Using the Star Sword Dao she herself had comprehended, she would then have to condense a "Celestial Star" that was uniquely her own.
