I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Foundation Establishment is the basis of the Great Dao.

It is the beginning of a cultivator’s longevity, and also the distinction between cultivators and ordinary people at the level of life.

"Foundation Establishment is still too distant for me.

However, the benefits of having strong Spiritual Power are immense.

Whether it is cultivation or learning, there can be certain enhancement effects."

After Zhou Changwang regained his composure, he went to cultivate the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique and immediately noticed the difference.

It became much easier.

The speed at which he understood the structure of runes also became relatively faster.

The stark comparison of changes made him unable to resist slicing himself again two hours later.

Instantly, Zhou Changwang let out a wretched howl, feeling his head empty and throbbing with twitching pain, thinking that nothing in the world could be more painful.

If given another chance, he would choose to slice himself in the third hour.

...

In the days that followed, Zhou Changwang did not leave home again.

He was extremely busy every day.

Guarding the Spirit Field, digging underground tunnels, cultivating techniques, then slicing through his Spiritual Power horizontally with a knife.

Even at night, his schedule was packed, drawing talismans, cultivating, watching the Taiyi Atlas...

After several days.

The results were remarkable.

The underground tunnel had already been dug to a depth of ten zhang, and with another approximate five zhang, he could consider finishing it by creating a second exit.

By then, he would no longer have to worry about safety issues when chaos erupted in the Marketplace.

As long as he ran fast enough, danger couldn’t reach him.

As for the techniques.

There were several techniques that he subsequently cultivated to the Realm of Perfection.

Cleaning Technique, Calming Technique, Light Body Skill, Sound Insulation Technique, Concealing Breath Technique.

These five techniques reached Perfection one after another.

Although all are basic techniques, and their growth in his strength is not significant.

But these techniques are very useful.

Among them, the Cleaning Technique can clean battle traces and eliminate foreign Spiritual Power, having proven quite effective several times before, and now at Perfection, its effectiveness has greatly improved.

The Calming Technique offered miraculous effects in his breeding of Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects—not even mentioning the Little Spirit Dog—sometimes he applied this technique to the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, and the offspring bees that hadn’t been contracted became quite affectionate towards him.

Now at Perfection, he vaguely sensed the thoughts and intentions of the others and was able to relay his commands accordingly.

For instance, when he used the Calming Technique, he could grasp the needs of dozens of Gold-Devouring Spirit Bee offspring, and he could also transmit his ’command’ to the minds of these bees, almost commanding them at will.

This technique, to a certain extent, has established a communication bridge between him and the Spirit Beasts and Spirit Insects he breeds, its effectiveness far beyond his imagination.

As for the Light Body Skill, there’s no need to elaborate; it allows him to be as agile as a swallow, able to leap several zhang, and even travel laterally over short distances, spanning nearly ten zhang.

The Sound Insulation Technique isolates sounds, and at Perfection, it can even isolate Spiritual Qi.

For example, after using the Sound Insulation Technique, as long as he wishes, the surrounding spiritual power would find it difficult to break through his acoustic barrier, being correspondingly blocked.

Although he has yet to discover specific applications for this technique, it is indeed full of mystery.

As for the Concealing Breath Technique, it conceals all auras, even allowing him to merge with the environment, so that even if others’ gazes fall upon him, they would subconsciously ignore him, achieving effects akin to the Invisibility Technique.

...

However, Zhou Changwang felt that his greatest progress was in the strength of his Spiritual Power.

Almost every day, every two hours, he would slice himself with a knife.

Although the corresponding pain was indeed unbearable.

Whenever he felt that his Spiritual Power had indeed grown significantly, he was incredibly satisfied and able to harden his heart to keep wielding the knife.

Now, the strength of his Spiritual Power far surpasses his previous state, as reflected in his Spiritual Sense; the original radiation range was only about a zhang, roughly three meters, now the radiation range has reached five meters, approximately one zhang and six chi.

Such a tremendous enhancement made Zhou Changwang’s cultivation in all aspects quite successful, with notable progress.

For example, casting the Spirit Eye Technique at the Mastery Level originally required about four breaths; now although the Dharma Realm hasn’t changed, the casting time has shortened to three breaths.

And this is the change manifested after having strong Spiritual Power.

The stronger the Spiritual Power, the more rune structures can be quickly drawn within the same time frame, naturally shortening the casting time correspondingly.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique Zhou Changwang is learning has also benefited greatly.

Originally, he estimated it would take at least ten days to reach Entry Level.

Now, that period has been halved.

Of the fifty or so rune structures, he has already familiarized himself with most.

Estimating that in three to five days, he will truly reach Entry Level.

"However, the Five Elements Thunder Transformation Technique is truly the most complex and powerful technique I have encountered.

I just wonder once this technique reaches Entry Level, how powerful it will be when cast?

Could it compare to my long-mastered Geng Metal Finger?"

Zhou Changwang felt anticipation in his heart and began another attempt.

Before a technique reaches Entry Level, what is needed is continuous familiarization and relentless attempts.

After hundreds and thousands of trials and errors, constantly adjusting and correcting, one can inevitably find the right path and eventually cast the technique successfully.
