Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Consciousness entered, the Primordial Spirit’s eyes opened, and a stream of silvery Primordial Spirit power flowed out and entered his body, colliding and merging with the Ultimate True Power.

The first time, failure!

The second time, also failure!

...

The process of True Essence’s birth was not smooth. Otherwise, Huo Tianzheng wouldn’t have used the Blood Venerable as a grindstone to pressure the birth of True Essence with the stress of a Martial Venerable powerhouse.

After countless failures, finally, a golden power was born.

"It’s no longer purple!"

Wei Fan was taken aback. He thought that even if True Essence was born, it would still maintain its past purple color. Unexpectedly, his True Essence was no longer purple but had turned golden like all Martial Venerables.

"Indeed, Horizontal Cultivation of Innate doesn’t have much advantage in the Divine Realm. Reaching the Martial Venerable Realm, the advantage should be gone."

No longer being purple is also good.

Purple power was too recognizable. Sometimes, wanting to hide one’s identity meant not even being able to use True Power.

Boom!

At the same time, as the first trace of True Essence appeared, a vast aura erupted from Wei Fan’s body, and the Primordial True Power began rapid fusion.

The Primordial Spirit rumbled, intertwining with the True Power surging from the Dantian acupoints, transforming into a higher-level True Power.

After dozens of breaths, the purple True Power vanished completely, turning into golden True Essence Power.

In an instant, his physical body, like land parched for decades, began to frantically absorb the True Essence Power.

[Five hundred years of power, Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Martial Venerable Chapter Expertise, you have fused True Essence Power]

Wei Fan did not pause. Fusing True Essence was just the second step. Forging the Golden Body is what truly marks him as a Martial Venerable.

However, the third step of cultivation is much more complex than the first two steps.

The Golden Body needs to be forged nine times for the cultivation of a Martial Venerable to be considered Perfection.

Completing the First Forging of the Golden Body marks entering the Early-stage Martial Venerable, the real start of being a Martial Venerable powerhouse.

After three forgings, cultivation progresses to Mid-Martial Venerable; six, to Late-stage Martial Venerable.

After nine, the Martial Venerable’s cultivation becomes Perfection.

Thus, within the Martial Venerable Realm, although both could be Early-stage Martial Venerables, the disparity in cultivation can be vast; simply classifying as Early-stage and Mid-stage does not adequately differentiate their strengths.

More accurately, one needs to see how many times the other has forged their Golden Body. Using the number of Golden Body forgings to distinguish strength is clearer.

[Five hundred and one years of power, you study Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Martial Venerable Chapter, beginning the forging of the Golden Body]

The True Essence entering the physical body began to permeate Wei Fan’s limbs and bones, his internal organs, entering every corner of his body, forging it.

His body began to emit dazzling golden light, illuminating the pitch-black cave.

As time passed, his normal skin tone began to be tinged with a subtle golden hue, which grew deeper.

[Twenty thousand years of power, your Golden Body First Forging reached twenty percent]

Of course, the power consumption was also terrifying. After twenty thousand years of power, the Golden Body First Forging only achieved twenty percent.

Using ordinary power to forge the Golden Body wasted power like flowing water.

It was as if low-level energy was used to replace high-level energy.

In fact, Wei Fan had anticipated this; with his current cultivation, using thousands or tens of thousands of years of power is not because his talent is so deficient, but because ordinary power seems like something low-grade and becomes increasingly weak in use.

To give a simple example, even a Martial Venerable powerhouse lives only for a few hundred years but can erupt with twenty thousand years of power, which is obviously unreasonable.

In twenty thousand years, even a Demon Venerable wouldn’t survive that long, so how could they erupt with twenty thousand years of power?

So, his result of using ordinary power to cultivate the Golden Body is infinitely weakened effect.

At this rate, it would take a hundred thousand years of power before completing the First Forging of the Golden Body.

...

[Eight thousand years of power, your Golden Body First Forging completion reached eighty percent]

[Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Martial Venerable Chapter (Entry Level)]

[Ordinary Power: 23,000 years]

[Spirit Soul Power: None]

Although the First Forging wasn’t complete, Wei Fan stopped. Breaking through to Martial Venerable means more than cultivation; martial techniques and other aspects need attention, and Divine Soldiers must be refined into Golden Body Artifacts at various power points; it’s unwise to expend all power on Golden Body forging.

The main guess in his mind is:

Perhaps, like the Divine Realm, slaying a Martial Venerable powerhouse also yields special power.

Otherwise, with ten thousand years of power per forging, nine forges would need ninety thousand years. How many Martial Venerables would it take?

"Turns out to be only a Six-Colored Golden Body!"

Having stopped adding power, he checked himself.

Thinking his foundation should’ve allowed the strongest Seven Colors, yet he had only achieved six.

Amid the intertwined golden light on his body’s surface, a faint halo of six colors formed.

"At the very least, I am four or five times stronger than before the breakthrough!"

Wei Fan stood up from the ground, feeling the robust power within. Even without completing the First Forging of the Golden Body, he had undergone a drastic transformation.

The enhancement wasn’t primarily in power; true elevation was in defense and longevity.

In two bouts with Martial Venerable level figures, the deepest impression had been the terrifying Vajra Indestructible body of this tier, as if nothing could harm it.

"Hmm?"

Wei Fan suddenly sensed a violent disturbance in the air, like a colossal presence stirring it.

The next moment, a majestic but indifferent roar reached his ears: "Surrender Wei Fan, or today we’ll flatten your Yunhua Sect..."

Outside Yunhua Sect, White Mountain Elephant Venerable stood across the sky like a Great Sun, radiating brilliant golden light.

Beside him was a Demon Venerable expert who had also achieved a Golden Body, more overwhelming and terrifying than White Mountain Elephant Venerable.

Behind the two Demon Venerables, a dozen or so Demon Monarchs floated in the air, menacingly eyeing Yunhua Sect.

Recently, a string of Demon Monarchs nearby had been slain, eleven dead. Even White Mountain Elephant Venerable couldn’t sit ide.

If this Wei Fan continued to slay, he’d soon be left alone, a naked commander.

Ji Qingyue, bathed in golden light, rose from Yunhua Sect: "Wei Fan has already left; if you wish to find him, do so yourselves. If you wish for war, Yunhua Sect will accompany. Yunhua Sect has been here a thousand years; it’s not destroyed on a whim."

She looked gravely at the Demon Venerable beside White Mountain Elephant Venerable, gravity in her gaze.

Cangshan Wolf Venerable! A Demon Venerable even more terrifying than White Mountain Elephant Venerable.

"I was wondering how the destitute loser of that day dared challenge our Yunhua Sect, turns out you’ve hooked up with Cangshan Wolf Venerable!"

At this, White Mountain Elephant Venerable’s eyes filled with killing intent; being driven away by Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue was a humiliation.

This visit partly for revenge, partly for the unease regarding Wei Fan.

Even at the Divine realm, he was terrifying; becoming a Martial Venerable, who could stop him?

It’s one thing if there weren’t any grievances with Wei Fan; since there are, he must be eliminated before achieving Martial Venerable.

White Mountain Elephant Venerable coldly snorted: "Refuse a toast only to drink punishment; if your Yunhua Sect intends to protect Wei Fan, don’t blame me."

His aura surged, signaling an intention to attack.

Cangshan Wolf Venerable stopped White Mountain Elephant Venerable from acting with a raised hand.

Shrouded in golden light like a Divine Mansion, Cangshan Wolf Venerable’s eyes glared bleakly, "Ji Qingyue, you’re unqualified to converse with me. Let your master come.

Dongfang Ye, if you don’t appear, don’t blame me for oppressing the weak, killing your apprentice!"

"Harm even a hair on her, and I guarantee nothing from your Cangshan lineage will survive!"

A dazzling golden figure soared from Yunhua Sect’s depths, stepping swiftly to Ji Qingyue’s side.

He was Ji Qingyue’s master, Martial Venerable Dongfang Ye.

Yunhua Sect has rich heritage; besides Ji Qingyue, her master is also a Martial Artist powerhouse.

Her rapid rise to Martial Venerable, besides innate talent, owed much to a Martial Venerable master’s devoted teaching.

Dongfang Ye said indifferently, "My apprentice’s stance is mine; if you seek war, war it shall be. Where’s this much nonsense coming from? When has Yunhua Sect ever feared you Demons?"

Simultaneously, Yunhua Sect started to have Divine Realm Martial Sect members levitate.

However, they had few such members, only seven or eight, similar to Demons, just about half.

"Since you won’t cry until you see the coffin, let’s fulfill your wish then. Think I and White Mountain Elephant Venerable fear you?"

With no more words, Cangshan Wolf Venerable transformed into golden light rushing at Yunhua Sect.

Only force can compel Yunhua Sect to surrender Wei Fan.
