The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 571: Chapter 571: The Pinnacle of Cultivation Method, Skill Self-Generated_1

In the mountains, days pass unrecorded; when the cold departs, one loses track of the year.

In the newly built cultivation room of Guanyun Mansion, the breath of the Primal Spirit permeated the area within a zhang radius around Shen Mo. With his every inhalation and exhalation, thick Spiritual Qi was refined, linking tightly with the invisible power of his soul and the lifeblood and vitality of his Dao Body, constantly transforming into a golden mist that swirled around his Golden Core!

At the same time, Shen Mo’s Cultivation Realm was also experiencing a slight increase, causing his Golden Core to grow even more radiant.

[You continue to cultivate through inhalation and exhalation, operating the Mixed Yuan Qi Technique to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, transforming it into True Yuan within your body, and advancing the transformation of your Essence and Qi. Your cultivation has improved.]

[During this process, you unexpectedly gained an opportunity: Destiny Point +1.]

[Through continuous deduction and cultivation, you have grasped the endless mysteries of the Mixed Yuan Qi Technique. Your understanding of the Mixed Yuan Qi Technique has become more profound. Mixed Yuan Qi Technique Experience +20.]

[Through continuous deduction and cultivation, you have grasped... Mixed Yuan Qi Technique Experience +25.]

The experience bar for this cultivation method was infinitely close to Epic, and it continued to grow slowly but steadily.

After an unknown period, a series of unusual sounds suddenly emanated from Shen Mo’s Dao Body.

It roared like a great river bursting its dikes, yet chimed as clearly as a Daoist bell. It seemed to be an audible sound rising from his Dantian, yet also an intangible voice existing only in the depths of his soul—exceptionally mysterious and unpredictable...

The next moment, a celestial phenomenon abruptly manifested in the sky above the Riverside Sect’s mountain gate!

A radiant golden glow, like molten gold, enveloped an area of a thousand-mile radius. Countless clouds slowly formed a colossal vortex, appearing magnificent and glorious under the shimmering light.

This commotion quickly drew the attention of the sect disciples, who all looked up to observe. Even experts from the forbidden lands of Fairy Flower Valley and the Seven Stars Altar cast astonished gazes in this direction.

”It hasn’t been that long, has it? How has someone triggered another celestial phenomenon?”

”Last time, it was the manifestation of a Star Beast. All manner of creatures—birds, beasts, snakes, and insects—prostrated themselves in submission, as if we had returned to ancient times! This time, while there aren’t as many varied sights, the sheer grandeur of its presence is in no way inferior to the last.”

”It must be that some of the Patriarchs have made a breakthrough in their profound cultivation techniques, causing such an extraordinary sign. Ever since the Teleportation Array failed and we lost track of the Vacuous Realm, the Patriarchs have had to remain and cultivate within the sect. Such a display of power isn’t surprising! We disciples should rejoice... The greater the Patriarchs’ Divine Abilities, the better the protection and blessings we will receive!”

”No wonder in the past, the Supreme Elders of the sect all cultivated within the Vacuous Realm. Such a commotion is indeed difficult to conceal. Not only does it somewhat affect our cultivation as disciples, but it also risks exposing our sect’s foundations to our enemies.”

”I wonder which Patriarch is responsible for this disturbance this time?” The disciples discussed amongst themselves, surprised and curious, each voicing their own opinions.

Only Yuan Heming and Zhou Zhiwei, the two Golden Core Realm cultivators, were communicating via divine sense, making no effort to conceal the shock in their hearts.

”This celestial phenomenon... was it caused by Junior Brother Shen again?” Yuan Heming asked doubtfully.

”Senior Brother Yuan, we’ve known each other for hundreds of years. Are you not aware of my capabilities? Besides Junior Brother Shen, who else possesses such immense ability to trigger a sign of communing with the divine?”

Zhou Zhiwei’s tone carried a mixture of five parts astonishment and five parts envy.

He had cultivated for many years, yet he had never managed to cultivate any magic or cultivation method to such a transcendent, otherworldly level.

Yet, in the few years since Shen Mo returned to Chong’a Mountain to cultivate, he had triggered celestial phenomena twice in succession. This was enough to demonstrate his incomparably terrifying talent for delving into cultivation methods.

”If I recall correctly, when Junior Brother Shen served as the Commander of the Hongye City Defense Division, a celestial phenomenon caused by Godlike Swordplay also occurred there... When a disciple reported it, I assumed it was some powerful cultivator passing through Hongye City who had an accidental breakthrough in their enlightenment.”

Yuan Heming reminisced with a hint of wonder, clucking his tongue in amazement. ”Thinking back, it must have been Junior Brother Shen achieving a breakthrough in his cultivation then as well. By a rough estimate, he has cultivated at least three types of magic and martial arts to a level we could hardly hope to match!”

After these words, both Patriarch Yuan and Patriarch Zhou fell into a long silence.

”Junior Brother Zhou... have you noticed that the Spiritual Qi on Chong’a Mountain has become significantly richer?” Yuan Heming suddenly asked.

Zhou Zhiwei, seated in his cultivation mansion, carefully sensed the nature’s spiritual energy and exclaimed in surprise, ”Indeed! The Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius around me is clearly thirty percent richer than before. Could it be because of Junior Brother Shen...”

”It must be. This Junior Brother Shen is truly a lucky star for our Riverside Sect!”

”...”

This change was not only perceived by the two Golden Core Realm Patriarchs but by all disciples within the sect as well.

For the Spirit Sea Realm disciples, who could absorb Spiritual Qi over a vast range and at high speed, the thirty percent increase in nature’s spiritual energy was welcome, but its impact wasn’t monumental.

However, for disciples in the Body Tempering Realm and Qi Gathering Realm, this change would undoubtedly accelerate their cultivation speed.

Consequently, a joyful and celebratory atmosphere soon enveloped all of Chong’a Mountain.

At this moment, Shen Mo, the ”culprit” behind the celestial phenomenon and the changes in spiritual energy, was still seated cross-legged on the jade couch.

His powerful five senses and divine sense had long since noticed the changes in the outside world. Sensing the heartfelt joy of the sect disciples, a smile touched his lips.

Who would have thought that cultivating the Mixed Yuan Qi Technique to Extremely Perfection would yield an Innate Divine Ability with such extraordinary effects!

The magnificent phenomena witnessed earlier were all triggered when Shen Mo cultivated this technique to the Epic stage, achieving the Godlike state for this method.

As for the thirty percent increase in the density of nature’s spiritual energy on Chong’a Mountain, that was thanks to his newly acquired Innate Divine Ability: [Blessed Land]!

With a thought, he summoned the Destiny Panel.
