My Informative Cultivation Life

It was already deep into the night, but Yang Ji still had not slept; in fact, his spirit seemed even more invigorated.

Inside the stone house, he was currently urging on the Earth Spirit Fire, burning a piece of rotten hardwood.

The hardwood's superficial scraps continuously turned to flying ash and dissipated in the Spiritual Fire. As time passed, the rotten wooden surface was finally completely burned away, revealing the jade interior of the Jade Slip.

With a trace of excitement, Yang Ji immediately extended his Divine Sense into it, acquiring the mysteries of the Great Divine Abilities "Humanoid Weapon".

The entire interior of the Jade Slip was like a space filled with spiritual energy, extremely dreamlike, filled with numerous Golden Tadpole Runes. Each rune was permeated with a special Dao charm, without a fixed shape, in a state of disorder.

After looking for a while, Yang Ji understood why Great Divine Abilities must be conveyed in such special ways and could not be expressed in written words.

Because Great Divine Abilities involve the Dao, ever-changing, they can only be intuitively grasped, not taught verbally or through demonstration, as all creation depends on the individual.

Yang Ji realized that these Golden Tadpole Runes emanating Dao charm must contain the mysteries of "Humanoid Weapon".

At first glance, he found it profoundly abstruse, like reading a celestial tome.

It's no wonder that people say it's difficult to comprehend Great Divine Powers, indeed there is reason in this.

His thoughts briefly wandering, Yang Ji quickly returned to his senses, his Divine Sense touching the Golden Tadpole Runes and beginning to comprehend their mysteries.

After three hours had passed, the Golden Tadpole Runes kept twisting disorderly, changing endlessly.

For a moment, he had no clue, no understanding of any feeling or mystery they might express.

Yet, he was not discouraged, nor was he anxious.

Under the guidance of the Golden Finger, he continued to try and err.

Thus, he pondered for three days straight.

After three consecutive days of contemplation, he finally touched some profundities and realized that this was actually a method of bodily cultivation related to Great Divine Power.

He discovered that those Golden Tadpole Runes seemed more active in his Divine Sense, like little figures slowly moving and adjusting their positions.

This caused Yang Ji great joy; at last, there was some clarity.

As he delved deeper into his contemplation, a mysterious and majestic Dao sound began to echo in his mind.

All the Golden Tadpole Runes also began to arrange themselves methodically in his perception, forming a brief section of scripture, like a gentle stream flowing through his heart.

At this moment, Yang Ji wanted to seize this opportunity and write down the scriptures in order.

He immediately activated his Cultivation Technique and condensed the moisture in the air, using swift strokes on a slate, swiftly dotting and drawing, and in one go, he wrote down the scriptures.

But before he could feel joy, he saw the lines of text rapidly fading away. Under the influence of a mysterious power, the residual water drops boiled and quickly turned into steam, disappearing without a trace.

The faint golden light flashed on the ground, and with a sizzle, amidst the rising green smoke, even the marks drawn with force from his fingertips were erased.

[The Great Dao Scriptures are not allowed to manifest, abolished by the Dao's power.]

"This..." Yang Ji was surprised, "The Dao does not allow manifestations? The Dao power hidden within my pen strokes has actually connected with the forces of heaven and earth and destroyed everything."

"All I wanted was to write down the scriptures, and even that is not allowed?"

"The Dao is so difficult to seek, and the scriptures cannot be shared with the public; no wonder it is said that obtaining the Dao is difficult, truly difficult."

"How can those of mediocre talent ever obtain the Dao?"

"The Dao being elusive, the Cultivation Technique and Great Divine Abilities serve as the bridge to 'Dao', but often even those with Dao Techniques in hand cannot step onto the bridge of Dao, unable to obtain the Dao and become immortals."

At this moment, Yang Ji gained many insights. Today, having dealt with Great Divine Abilities and touched upon the Dao, he knew that the deeper one goes in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes.

Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Void Refining, Fusion, Mahayana, Tribulation Immortal.

There appear to be only nine major realms, but too few manage to reach the Realm of Void Refining, comprehend the Dao, and transcend tribulations to reach immortality; the difficulties and dangers along the way are too numerous.

Throughout the vast Thousand-Islands Sea Area, those who have undergone Divinity Transformation are the strongest, and those who peek into the Dao through Void Refining are simply beyond reach.

For the Realm of Void Refining is not attainable through mere asceticism; it requires a preliminary understanding of the mysteries of the Great Dao.

Whereas the Dao contained inside "Humanoid Weapon" is just the barest fraction of the Great Dao, not even one ten-thousandth, one hundred-thousandth, or even one millionth.

At this moment, Yang Ji felt a sense of awe towards the path of cultivation, yet a streak of unyielding determination was also born within him.

He no longer forced himself to write, but instead delved deeper into contemplation.

Three days passed in this manner.

On the sixth day of contemplation, Yang Ji's mind became suddenly clear and transparent. The Golden Tadpole Runes inside the Jade Slip seemed to come to life, turning into streams of golden light that rushed into his sea of consciousness, imprinting themselves deep within his soul.

Then, with but a thought, those Golden Tadpole Runes instantly surged towards his limbs, trunk, as well as the internal organs, blood, flesh, and bones.

Every inch of his body, inside and out, including his soul, was covered with Golden Tadpole Runes.

The runes emitted a faint golden glow, connecting mysterious forces as if invisible lightning had struck.

His entire body, under the tempering of these forces, crackled and popped as if struck by thunder, with blood surging like tumultuous waves. His skin and flesh trembled continuously as if sifting chaff.

It was as if his body was being smithed, using the forces as the hammer and his body as the raw material, forging the strongest weapon.

At this moment, Yang Ji knew that after six days of contemplation, he had finally grasped the rudiments of this Great Divine Power of body refinement.

Using these forces as the hammer to temper the flesh, the method of this body cultivation technique was indeed rare and exceedingly fierce.

Under the onslaught of these forces, Yang Ji slightly gritted his teeth, feeling as if his body were being struck by thunder, trembling violently.

However, he could feel that as the forces hammered away, his body was growing stronger.

Days passed one by one.

Another night of cultivation flew by in haste.

It was not until the sunrise glowed in the east, the sky painted in rosy hues.

Only then did Yang Ji exhale and conclude his practice, hiding away all the Golden Runes.

Having not slept for over twenty days, he felt not a hint of fatigue but was instead brimming with vitality, his spirit extremely refreshed.

Upon examining himself with his Divine Sense, he discovered a faint luster on the surface of his blood, and his bones also emitted a pale white glow.

Clenching his fist, a surge of power streaked across his body, causing his joints to crackle.

Throwing a punch, it was like a shooting star chasing the moon. With a "bang," he astonishingly produced a fearsome sonic boom.

A mere punch without employing any Dao Technique carried great momentum and force; his strength had increased by too much.

"This Humanoid Weapon truly lives up to its reputation as a Great Divine Ability, far from ordinary. Just by tempering for a little over twenty days, my strength has increased this much."

Yang Ji now carefully felt his physique, clearly noticing his muscles, bones, and skin had become tighter.

The most important aspect was...

His soul had also strengthened, and his Divine Sense had grown significantly.

This discovery completely shocked Yang Ji: "The Golden Tadpole Runes covering my body not only tempered the flesh but also refined the soul. Could this be not only a body cultivation technique but also a precious and rare Divine Refining Cultivation Method?"

The value of Divine Refining Cultivation Method was immense, its importance on par with top-tier cultivation techniques.

To become a Nascent Soul True Monarch and attain a pure Nascent Soul, one must transcend three tribulations, which are tribulations of the soul.

Among the numerous powers of the Thousand-Islands Sea Area, only the three great Sects and some prominent families had Nascent Soul True Monarchs at their helm.

The rarity of Nascent Soul True Monarchs was attributed to the fact that many cultivators lacked a strong enough soul to pass the soul tribulation.

The reason why the three great Sects had several Nascent Soul True Monarchs was precisely that each Sect possessed a Divine Refining Cultivation Method close to the level of Great Divine Power.

This Divine Refining Cultivation Method was a core of the core, inaccessible to the ordinary.

In the entire Thousand-Islands Sea Area, Divine Refining Cultivation Methods were exceedingly rare, with most powers lacking them. Even the inferior methods were treasured as precious gems, which underscored the preciousness and importance of Divine Refining Cultivation Methods.

At this moment, Yang Ji was truly overjoyed. The technique he had was indeed a Great Divine Power level Divine Refining Method, surpassing even the top-tier methods of the three great Sects.

His only regret was that he had but one volume, insufficient to attain a pure Nascent Soul.

Yang Ji shook his head with a sense of loss.

However, knowing the formidable strength of this Humanoid Weapon, his desire for the second volume was extremely fervent.

Should he be fortunate enough to master it entirely, he would undoubtedly become the premier cultivator of the Thousand-Islands Sea Area.
