Chapter 3460: Spirit Domain Cultivation Methods

"I am Qingxuan True Monarch," the old man in green robes declared in a resonant voice. "Since you were able to undo the Locking Deity Restriction, your divine sense must be powerful. You are worthy of inheriting my legacy."

Wang Changsheng looked thoughtful. He had never heard of Qingxuan True Monarch, but for someone to set up such a potent restriction—one that he and Wang Ruyan could only break by combining their divine senses—Qingxuan True Monarch must have been a Grand Ascension cultivator.

Qingxuan True Monarch began to recount his history. "I hail from the Ancient Yin Realm and possess the Myriad Wood Physique. I reached the Nascent Soul stage at two hundred years old, Void Refinement at one thousand, Integration at five thousand, and Grand Ascension at twenty thousand. My cultivation speed was the fastest in the Ancient Yin Realm over the past three hundred millennia. My Dao companion, Fairy Qianyue, possessed the Profound Jade Physique; she also advanced to the Grand Ascension stage three thousand years after me. During that era, we were unmatched in fame..."He described his background: he came from a powerful immortal cultivation clan with two Grand Ascension cultivators. He himself had a spiritual physique, and his Dao companion also possessed one. His cultivation journey had been smooth, encountering no major setbacks.

Qingxuan True Monarch then discovered a nascent minor world. To contend for it, he engaged in fierce battles with several other Grand Ascension cultivators. Relying on their powerful divine abilities, Qingxuan True Monarch and Fairy Qianyue defeated the other cultivators and gained control of the minor world. Within it, they found a Heavenly Artifact that could be refined into a defensive treasure. However, news of this discovery somehow leaked. The Grand Ascension cultivator of the powerful Nethermoon Clan personally intervened, annihilating Qingxuan True Monarch's family. Fairy Qianyue perished while covering Qingxuan True Monarch's escape, and he himself suffered severe injuries.

Qingxuan True Monarch managed to escape the Ancient Yin Realm, intending to return for revenge after greatly improving his cultivation. Soon after arriving in the Profound Yang Realm, a Daoist sanctuary appeared. Qingxuan True Monarch entered it to seek treasures, where he discovered the remains of an ancient cultivator and obtained a legacy, which included the cultivation method for a Spiritual Domain.Later, Qingxuan True Monarch encountered two Eighth-rank Face-Owls, and all his treasures were destroyed, yet he barely escaped with his life. While fleeing, he then encountered an Eighth-rank mid-grade Six-Eyed Sand Spider, was poisoned with a potent venom, and ultimately succumbed to it.

"Before discovering that minor world, my life was truly unhindered," Qingxuan True Monarch stated. "If it weren't for the Nethermoon Clan, my family might have already developed into a True Spirit Family. If you, the fated person, are capable, please help me eradicate the Nethermoon Clan. If not, then so be it."Having said this, Qingxuan True Monarch dissolved into countless specks of spiritual light and vanished, replaced by thousands of shimmering characters.

"The cultivation method for a Spiritual Domain!" Wang Ruyan's breathing quickened, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She quickly took out paper and brush and began copying the characters."I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus!" Wang Changsheng was overjoyed. To be honest, he had been disappointed that the storage bracelet didn't contain a single High-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. He had assumed the legacy stone would contain Qingxuan True Monarch's cultivation art, not the method for a Spiritual Domain. They examined all the jade slips and found a cultivation art called the *Myriad Ghost True Scripture*, which could be cultivated up to the late Grand Ascension stage, but no other high-level cultivation arts.

Wang Changsheng had a theory: several Integration cultivators discovered Qingxuan True Monarch's secluded cultivation cave. They fought fiercely over the treasures, and one of them managed to snatch some items but was also severely injured, with their physical body badly damaged. This cultivator's Nascent Soul couldn't find a suitable host for soul possession, so they switched to cultivating a Ghost Cultivation Art. They eventually managed to advance to the Grand Ascension stage, only to encounter Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, who then killed them.

"Our good fortune is immense," Wang Ruyan said with a smile. "To actually obtain the cultivation method for a Spiritual Domain! Even if we only grasp a superficial understanding, it will greatly enhance our strength."Xuanqingzi, for instance, had only a rudimentary grasp of the Spiritual Domain, yet he could contend with Grand Ascension cultivators from the Fiery Spirit Clan and the Yakshas in the early Grand Ascension stage. While Skyriver Sword Sage was constantly traveling, it was Xuanqingzi who bore the brunt of supporting humanity on the Profound Spirit Continent. Chen Yueying had once wanted to exchange for the Spiritual Domain cultivation method with Xuanqingzi, but his asking price was too high, and she couldn't afford it, so she had to give up.

Wang Changsheng nodded, collected the items from the ground, released Wang Liao, and then took out formation flags and plates to set up a formation, working with Wang Liao to transplant the Soul-Nourishing Wood. As long as they acquired Jade Soul Crystals, they could set up a formation to continue cultivating the Divine Forging Art of the Grand Void.

A loud beast roar echoed from Wang Changsheng's person. He took out his Demon-Seeking Mirror, and its surface showed the pointer aimed southeast.He released Wang Tun Tian, who activated his Spiritual Eyes and peered in the southeast direction. Frowning, Wang Tun Tian said, "It's too far away; I don't detect any demonic beasts.""Then let's go take a look; we're bound to find something," Wang Changsheng replied.He summoned the Azure Luan Boat and stepped onto it, with Wang Ruyan and the others following closely. Wang Changsheng made an incantation gesture, and the Azure Luan Boat instantly glowed with dazzling green light, soaring towards the southeast. They flew over a vast, boundless green grassland, where thick golden lightning bolts struck from the high sky, yellow sand billowed everywhere, and strong winds howled.

Jin Lei stood in a vast yellow desert, his face slightly pale. A yellow shield, its spiritual light dim, floated before him, its surface showing numerous fine cracks. High above, a colossal golden crane circled erratically. Its right wing had lost a large amount of plumage, bleeding profusely, with white bones visible. Its right claw was completely missing.

A piercing crane cry rang out. Countless golden electrical arcs surged from the golden crane's body, and a deafening thunderclap reverberated from high above. Tens of thousands of thick golden lightning bolts tore through the sky, heading straight for Jin Lei. Jin Lei made an incantation gesture, and countless yellow sand grains flew up, transforming into tens of thousands of yellow sand blades that shot forth to meet the attack.

The yellow sand blades collided with the golden lightning, instantly exploding into countless yellow sand grains. Smoke and dust billowed, shrouding Jin Lei's figure.The yellow desert violently shook. A powerful gravitational force appeared out of nowhere, twisting and warping the void, causing the golden crane's body to slowly descend towards the ground.The yellow desert then burst open, and a colossal yellow sand dragon flew out, heading straight for the golden crane. The golden crane opened its mouth and spat out a thick golden lightning bolt, which shattered the yellow sand dragon. A large expanse of shimmering yellow sand appeared, swirling and transforming into numerous yellow sand arrows that flew towards the golden crane.

Just as the golden crane was about to evade, a radiant golden light descended from the sky, enveloping it. The golden crane felt its body tighten, unable to move, as countless golden electrical arcs surged from its surface. The dense yellow sand arrows then pierced its body.A miniature golden crane flew out of its body, was enveloped by a yellow radiance, and vanished as it was drawn into a shimmering yellow gourd. The golden crane's corpse fell from high above, landing before Jin Lei.

Jin Lei sighed in relief. He took out a small yellow dagger, cut open the golden crane's abdomen, and extracted a golden demonic core and a golden orb.He held the golden orb high, but there was no abnormality in the sky. He then took out a small golden mirror, made an incantation gesture, and the mirror shot out a finger-thick golden lightning bolt. It struck the golden orb, and the lightning vanished."An Eighth-rank Thunder-Absorbing Pearl!" Jin Lei was ecstatic. With this Eighth-rank low-grade Thunder-Absorbing Pearl, his trip to the Profound Yang Realm had not been in vain.He put away the Thunder-Absorbing Pearl and the golden crane's corpse, then departed from the area.
