Zhou Yang had to return to Dingbei, and he didn't have much time. It was no longer enough to wait for the spiritual field to be upgraded, so he took out a dormant Tree of Life from the Moment Treasure Box and planted it directly into the spiritual field.
As a result, there was no response at all, and the Tree of Life remained dormant. Zhou Yang shook his head. It seemed that he had to at least upgrade the spiritual field to the third level.
However, good news still came. The concentration of spiritual energy in the mansion increased greatly, causing Mu Liu and Mu Ba to successfully break through to the late Tianyuan stage!
Zhou Yang then added the two of them to the guard team of Wangtian Pavilion.
Without any worries, Zhou Yang ordered no one to disturb him, then entered the underground training ground and started his own practice.
Recently, Zhou Yang feels that his breakthrough has been a bit fast, and it needs a period of precipitation and accumulation.
Although he gained insights during the anti-bandit war, he did not want to make a breakthrough in his realm. To encourage the young people would make the foundation unstable and affect future growth.
After running Zhou Tian Wuji Xuan Gong for a week and removing the distracting thoughts from his mind, Zhou Yang began to study the various secret techniques he had mastered.
As the realm improves, the power of the secret technique will also increase accordingly, but if the understanding of the secret technique is not enough, this improvement will be very limited.
Therefore, every time he breaks through a realm, he must deeply study the secret skills he has cultivated in order to maximize its power.
Zhou Yang started with the most basic flame technique, then Xuan Kong Fist, Sky-piercing Sword Technique, Golden Light Finger, Wind Chasing Seven Steps Technique, Wood Breath Qi Condensation Technique, Qi Seeking Technique, and Earth Fire Body Tempering Technique, all the way to the Splitting Light Sword Technique. The first two postures, virtual fire is invisible. The first posture turns fire into silk.
Next, it was only after breaking through the eighth level of Tianyuan that the third form of the splitting light sword was understood and deduced, using the spirit to control the sword, the second form of the invisible fire turning silk into emptiness, and finally the prototype of the infinite yin and yang finger.
From small to large, from low to high, he re-deduced a total of eleven secret techniques. The focus was of course on using the spirit to control the sword, turning fire into void, and the infinite yin and yang finger.
The biggest difficulty in wielding a sword with spirit is the problem of mana. This is the biggest flaw in the entire light splitting sword technique, so the disciples of the Tianxing Sect regard it as a useless secret technique and no one cares about it.
When it comes to the last move, this flaw becomes even more prominent, because the last move is the most powerful and therefore consumes the most mana.
At present, he has exhausted all his mana and can only shoot three swords. After three swords, his combat power is basically lost.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Spirit Control Sword can only be used as a trump card, and a maximum of two swords can be used. If the problem cannot be solved within two swords, he will immediately dodge.
But this kind of secret technique is very useful. Because spiritual energy is everywhere, sword energy is also everywhere. Therefore, the spirit sword can suddenly appear anywhere, making it difficult for people to guard against it. It is the only way to win by sneak attack. .
However, the problem of mana is the most difficult to solve. The most effective method is to expand the area of the spiritual sea, expand the meridians, and increase the storage capacity of spiritual energy.
This method can only have two ways, one is to break through the realm, and the other is to open more heavenly acupoints.
But the realm cannot be broken by just wanting to break through. It requires one's own understanding of the way of heaven, and it also requires accumulation and opportunities. And it is not easy to open up the heavenly acupoints, the hard work is too slow, and the elixir is hard to come by.
It shouldn't be too difficult for Zhou Yang to break through the small realm, because his qualifications are extremely high and he has reached a genius level that is rare to see in a thousand years. But he didn't want to break through continuously, as that would cause the mana to be in vain.
Therefore, these two methods are obviously unrealistic, so we can only find a solution in the secret technique itself.
But with Zhou Yang only in the late Tianyuan realm, it was not easy to modify the secret techniques created by his senior masters!
After thinking hard to no avail, his intensive study of the Spirit Control Sword came to an end.
Although there was no progress, through speculation, he had a deeper understanding of this technique, and it was much smoother than before.
The virtual fire's invisible threads are transformed into virtual objects, which is a further virtualization of the black fire threads. From the substantial fire threads visible to the naked eye, they are gradually transformed into invisible things, just like aura, which can be felt but has no substance.
The ultimate cultivation of turning silk into emptiness is more effective than wielding a sword with spirit. Before the opponent is aware of it, countless fiery threads are already there, making it a sharp weapon for surprise attacks.
The highest state of turning silk into emptiness is the invisible fire, which is the third form.
At that time, flames can be produced anywhere and at any time, even hundreds of miles apart.
But his ability to turn fire into nothingness had just been deduced, and he had never had time to use it during the war before.
Now that he has further deduced and become more proficient, he feels that this technique is indeed infinitely mysterious. It can turn the thread of black fire into an invisible object within a hundred feet. If you are not a master of fake elixir or above, you will not be able to detect it at all.
Zhou Yang stopped speculating until he could no longer deduce it. After recovering for a while, he began to understand the most powerful Wuji Yin and Yang Finger again.
The first form of the Wuji Yin Yang Finger is to condense the force. The transformation of mana is very simple, the key is to condense the power of yin and yang.
All matter, whether tangible or intangible, has both yin and yang attributes, and nature also has the power of yin and yang. This is also a perception of nature.
In the universe, heaven and earth, humans are divided into men and women. The two qi interact and transform into all things. As the saying goes, all things come into being when the heaven and earth are harmonious, and the yin and yang connect and change.
Yin and Yang are both opposites and unified, both exclusive and integrated. There is yang in yin, yin in yang, and the same is true for the power of yin and yang.
Zhou Tianzong sent its founder to observe the changes in heaven and earth and feel the power of yin and yang. It took a full five hundred years to create the infinite yin and yang finger, which shows its difficulty and power.
This technique requires the integration of essence, energy, and spirit. If any one of them fails to meet the requirements, the practice cannot be successful.
This is not just a requirement for the realm, but mainly a requirement for the true energy, mana and spiritual consciousness of one's life.
The lowest level of cultivating infinite yin and yang is the late Tianyuan stage, but the requirements for the three aspects of life essence, magic power and spiritual consciousness are much more stringent.
If you are in the late Tianyuan realm, then these three aspects must at least reach the peak Tianyuan or even the fake elixir level.
And now Zhou Yang has only just reached the standard.
However, he has practiced Golden Light Finger, which can be used as a reference in terms of practice routes and other aspects.
The first step is to form two fingers, one on the left and one on the left, with the left as yang and the right as yin.
Then pour spiritual consciousness and mana into it at the same time. After the Yin and Yang Finger has its own will, finally use a trace of the true energy of life to activate it.
A cultivator's magic power can be improved quickly, and so can his spiritual consciousness, but the accumulation of his true energy is extremely slow.
In general battles, all that is used are mana, spiritual consciousness or soul power, and the true energy of life is rarely used because it cannot be consumed.
When the mana and spiritual consciousness are used up, they can be replenished with elixirs and other substances, but the true essence of life needs to be cultivated bit by bit.
In fact, the founder of the Zhou Tian Sect originally created the Yin Yang Finger, which did not use the true essence of life. The power is considered extraordinary, but it can only be classified as an advanced Taoist art. It has obvious advantages in fighting in the same realm, but it is slightly insufficient in fighting enemies across realms. .
This Patriarch is also a heaven-defying figure who is rare to meet in a thousand years. He has taken level-defying challenges as a daily routine since he was a child, so he is not very satisfied with this newly created Taoism.
Later, after continuous improvement and deduction, the final conclusion was that only by using the true essence of one's life to activate this technique can one break through the limitations of high-level techniques, thereby being infinitely close to the top-level Taoist techniques, and gain the upper hand in cross-realm battles.
Therefore, from the time this technique is finalized until it is passed down, it must be activated with the true energy of one's life.
Because of this, very few people actually receive this inheritance.
Don’t forget, Wuji Yin Yang Finger is based on Zhoutian Wuji Xuan Gong.
The threshold for Zhou Tian Wuji Xuan Gong is ridiculously high, which has already shut out most people. Then the stepless yin and yang fingers have to be activated with their own true energy, and practitioners with a limited amount of their own essence and blood are eliminated again. For a large part, it makes sense that there are few inheritors.
The prototype of the first move is the double fingers of yin and yang, and the ultimate of the first move is the integration of yin and yang, that is, the double fingers of yin and yang turn into one shocking finger.
This takes time and requires practice over and over again.
The underground training ground is really a good place. Not only can you practice meditation, but you can also perform various secret techniques. As long as the power of the magic weapon is not exceeded, you can attack at will.
Zhou Yang worked day and night without slacking off for a moment, devoted himself selflessly to the understanding and deduction of the secret technique, and had long forgotten the passage of time, until the bottleneck of Wuji Yin Yang Finger could no longer be broken through.
Opening his eyes, he let out a long breath.
Glancing at Chen Gui, he couldn't help but be surprised that a month and a half had passed!
Except for the underground palace in the secret realm of the Shrine, this was his longest active retreat, and he spent most of the time on the Wuji Yin and Yang Finger.
Although it took such a long time, Zhou Yang's gains were huge. The secret technique he had mastered before was now being used, and the power was at least doubled.
The biggest gain is undoubtedly the Yin Yang Finger. Although it is still in the introductory stage of the first style, the two fingers can already condense. After being pointed out, it can even open gold and crack stones. Even the best magic shield cannot resist it, unless it is Quasi magic weapon.
But that also depends on who is using the quasi-magic weapon. If it is controlled by an ordinary Tianyuan peak cultivator, it will not be able to block his finger.
However, this technique requires the consumption of life essence. Although it only consumes a small amount, he will not use it easily. He just uses it as a trump card.
Compared to a month and a half ago, his overall strength has more than doubled.
Although he has never tried it, he feels that it should be easy to kill an ordinary peak Tianyuan master with one move.
"Unknowingly, a month and a half has passed like this. Has Yangtianfang City been completed and put into use? Will there be any changes in Jiemeng City?"
Zhou Yang stood up, pushed open the door that had been closed for a month and a half, and strode out.
"Boss, you are out of seclusion!"
"Yes. Mu Shi, Mu Eleven, have you all broken through?" The auras of these two people are much stronger than before, and they have naturally broken through to the late Tianyuan stage, which makes Zhou Yang very happy.
"Yes, boss, we made a breakthrough ten days ago. Thanks to boss's elixir and the spirit gathering formation, we were able to achieve a breakthrough in such a short period of time!" The two said gratefully.
