Chapter 387: Man Can Overcome Heaven |
From the creation of a new law by the Heavenly Sage, it was not long before cultivators relied on the technique of Heaven Grasping Cultivation Technique for cultivation.
The heavens and earth reacted, bringing about drastic changes.
The more people practiced a certain technique simultaneously, the slower their cultivation speed.
This is what is known as the impossibility of cultivating multiple immortal techniques concurrently.
This is the present truth of the world, and it is the fundamental reason why techniques are so precious.
However, now, in an obscure organization, a technique contradictory to the principles of the heavens and earth has emerged.
Who would believe it?
At first, cultivators dismissed it as a joke and paid it no attention.
However, there were those who sought immortal techniques but had no access to them. With a mentality of giving it a try, they crossed mountains and rivers to explore the situation in the Jiushan Province.
Indeed, all members of the Myriad Spirit Sect were practicing this technique.
From Qi Refining to Soul Transformation, practitioners were at various stages.
Most importantly, the absolute truth that one cannot cultivate multiple techniques simultaneously seemed to be ineffective with the “Myriad Spirit Technique.”
There was simply no occurrence of cultivation slowing down due to an excessive number of practitioners.
The facts were undeniable.
No matter how incredible it seemed, that’s how it happened.
Soon, news of this extraordinary technique in the Myriad Spirit Sect spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
The initial reaction of the public was that only an extraordinary Heavenly Sage could create such an effect by reversing the principles of the heavens and earth.
However, the understanding of the Heavenly Sage was shallow among the people.
Basically, they only gleaned a bit from the “Five Spirit Qi Sensing Technique,” which stated, “Reversing the principles of the heavens and earth to achieve longevity.”
How to reverse, what constitutes a reversal, and to what extent one must reverse to achieve longevity… These questions were all mere unreliable speculations.
It was not unreasonable for them to make such conjectures about the miraculous effects of the “Myriad Spirit Technique.”
Clearly, this speculation was wrong.
After reading through the “Myriad Spirit Technique,” the venerable Haiung Yue of Tianqing Province finally revealed the truth.
The absolute truth of the heavens and earth, that techniques cannot be concurrently cultivated, had not been reversed at all.
The reason why cultivators practicing the Myriad Spirit Technique seemed unaffected was simply due to the inherent characteristics of the technique itself.
Simultaneously, the more people practiced the Myriad Spirit Technique, the faster their cultivation speed.
This is the effect of the Myriad Spirit Technique.
However, at the same time, due to the limitations of the heavens and earth, for every additional cultivator, the cultivation speed of the technique slows down.
These two effects coexist simultaneously.
The result is that one fast and one slow, cancel each other out.
The Myriad Spirit Technique has become a technique that can be practiced with great difficulty.
In fact, according to what Venerable Haiung Yue said, at the very beginning, when the number of practitioners of the Myriad Spirit Technique gradually increased from 1 to 5.
The restrictive effect of the heavens and earth was far greater than the characteristic of the technique’s speed increase.
For ordinary techniques, when five people practice together, even if you’re a genius, you’ll find yourself unable to make any progress.
However, when the number of practitioners of the Myriad Spirit Technique continued to increase from 5 to ten, a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand,
The speed increase effect became more and more pronounced, eventually barely offsetting the restriction of the inability to practice multiple techniques concurrently.
This is somewhat of a “Man Can Overcome Heaven” in a certain sense.
But it stops there.
Because the speed increase effect of the Myriad Spirit Technique also has its limits.
After offsetting the negative effects of the heavens and earth, the effectiveness of the technique’s accelerated cultivation speed becomes almost negligible.
And apart from increasing cultivation speed, the Myriad Spirit Technique has no other special effects.
This also leads to the fact that for the vast majority of cultivators with choices, it does not qualify as a good technique.
In addition, it seems that there are some other restrictions on the Myriad Spirit Technique.
But Haiung Yue did not specify.
“The ‘Myriad Spirit Technique’ is truly ahead of its time. In any other world, it would definitely be considered a shocking technique that defies the heavens. Unfortunately, it is heavily restricted in the Xuanhuang Realm.” Li Fan muttered to himself as he listened to Yan Hang and the others chatting while constructing the array.
Li Fan was not unfamiliar with this Myriad Spirit Sect.
It was the organization that Su Xiaomei and the others encountered initially, the one that set up toll stations in the chaotic area of Jiushan Pass.
That genderless organization, with its own Peach Blossom Paradise, and the one I injured with my Invincible Sword, Chen Yurou, left a slight impression on Li Fan.
“According to Haiung Yue, only by gathering a large number of practitioners from the beginning and practicing the Myriad Spirit Technique together is it possible to get started.”
“In the chaotic land of Jiushan Province, being able to gather such a large group of people, the leader of this Myriad Spirit Sect is also extraordinary.”
…
The infusion of fresh blood slightly eased the increasingly tense atmosphere within the Five Elements Cave.
But it didn’t last long.
As the frequency of fusion monsters’ appearances became more frequent, the cultivators struggling within each cave finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
When the first casualties appeared, some formation masters directly chose to stop working.
Of course, they didn’t openly announce it.
They just covertly opposed the situation under the guise of dealing with monsters.
Regarding this, Qi Buyi was a bit helpless.
She couldn’t just ask the two sitting Ancestors to unleash a killing spree, right?
Not to mention that the formation masters within the subworlds all had quite prestigious backgrounds.
If she really did that, forcibly pressuring them might just backfire and lead to the construction of the Five Elements Cave formations directly grinding to a halt.
This was a rare situation for Qi Buyi, and for a moment, she felt somewhat at a loss.
She could only report the situation to Chief Lu while trying her best to appease everyone.
To prevent a worse riot from happening.
As for the storms outside, although Li Fan himself didn’t care much, his efficiency in setting up formations inevitably suffered.
Yan Hang and the other five were gradually struggling against the monsters, so he also had to allocate some mental energy to pay attention to the battle.
At critical moments, Li Fan would even participate in the battle.
Of course, only in an auxiliary capacity with formations.
Just as the situation was gradually deteriorating, a thorough white light pierced through the entire Five Elements Cave.
The reinforcements had finally arrived.
An extremely massive Dust Crossing Boating Boat spanned outside the void of the cave.
Occupying most of the sky.
Cultivators flew towards various subworlds like densely packed black dots, orderly.
And Li Fan, who had been staying in the water attribute subworld, also got a glimpse of the overall situation of the Five Elements Cave for the first time.
It seemed like interconnected rings, yet also like a mixed palette of colors.
Clear and distinct, yet hard to distinguish from each other.
As the light column gradually dimmed, the illusory scenes of the metal, fire, and earth subworlds also slowly disappeared.
At the same time, the collaborative operation list in the Heavenly Record almost doubled.
When Li Fan looked through it, he even saw many familiar names.
They were the young formation masters who had trained with Li Fan in the Universal Institute and then returned to various provinces to participate in the Grand Competition.
“It seems that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is really short-handed now.”
“Even the reserves have been pulled over.”
