Chapter 111: Chapter 110: Pointing Out Gu Li
Wu Bingji felt this most profoundly. As the one with the highest cultivation base in the team, he was always able to unleash his power during battles, enjoying the thrilling feeling of combat. He even felt as if his own strength had improved. However, he understood that it wasn\'t his strength that had increased, but rather under the assistance of Tang San, he could perform better. This was even more valuable.
The following night, as darkness fell, the five of them found a higher ground to rest and recuperate. Right after dinner, Gu Li approached Tang San.
"Xiao Tang. Hehe." Gu Li winked and nudged him.
After spending two days together, Tang San had found that Gu Li\'s personality was actually quite lively. Normally, he seemed very down-to-earth, but once out of the teachers\' sight, his true nature started to emerge. Both he and Du Bai were considered highly promising by their teachers. Since Du Bai faced such difficulty improving, and Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal had at least reached the Fourth Stage, the pressure Gu Li felt from the teachers was in fact even greater.
Tang San smiled and asked, "What is it, Senior Brother Gu Li?"
Gu Li chuckled and said, "You know. Didn\'t we agree on it last night?"
Tang San naturally knew what he wanted, and Wu Bingji had also come over. Although Tang San was to give advice to Gu Li, Wu Bingji had greatly benefited from what he had learned from Tang San, and listening to Tang San\'s guidance for Gu Li might also be helpful to himself.
In the trees, Cheng Zicheng, and Du Bai, who had not yet climbed up, also came over.
During the day\'s battle, Wu Bingji had begun to apply the throwing arrow technique to launch ice cones in actual combat. The penetrating power of the ice cones had at least doubled, and combined with the Ice Element Compression, their might increased substantially, as did their attack range. All this was despite him still not being proficient enough. Wu Bingji was completely convinced that if he could compress the ice cones into ice needles in the future, it would definitely become a powerful killer technique. Seeing how Tang San could use wind blade so effectively, he was full of confidence in his own throwing arrow technique.
Both Du Bai and Cheng Zicheng had observed this, and they had heard something the previous night. Seeing Tang San about to advise Gu Li today, they were naturally very interested and ready to listen in.
Cheng Zicheng had also received a few tips from Tang San before, but those were related to combat experience and not to cultivation. Now, he watched curiously as this youngest child was surrounded by senior brothers, wondering how he would advise Gu Li.
Tang San said to Gu Li, "Senior Brother Gu Li, your Time Variation ability is incredibly strong. It gives a feeling of absolute certainty, even those with higher cultivation levels than you will be affected by the Time Freeze when you activate Time Variation. The cultivation of Time Variation is influenced by the intensity of your own bloodline, inherited bloodline intensity. I think there are ways to enhance it other than just making the bloodline richer. It\'s good to increase bloodline intensity, of course, but it\'s difficult for such a rare Demon God Transformation like yours. There\'s another method I think you can try."
Gu Li was startled; he had assumed Tang San was going to teach him some techniques to deal with Zhang Zebin but hadn\'t expected him to offer guidance on cultivating Time Variation. The teachers didn\'t have much of a solution, only advising him to continually stimulate his bloodline and absorb heaven earth origin energy to strengthen it. What could he possibly have to offer? Thus, disappointment flashed in Gu Li\'s eyes upon hearing Tang San\'s words.
As if oblivious to the change in his expression, Tang San continued, "In addition to increasing bloodline density. Generally, our cultivation of Demon God Transformation involves stimulating the bloodline. This approach is correct, but the method of stimulation and how to effectively stimulate it is something we need to explore. You might start with that."
"The control of Time Variation is achieved by mobilizing bloodline power through Spiritual Power. Compared to other Demon God Transformations, your Time Variation places greater demands on Spiritual Power. Time is a very mysterious existence; it is always with us, yet it cannot be captured. People often say no one can take Regret Medicine because what\'s passed cannot be reverted. Your ability may not revert past, but it can make time temporarily freeze. When you become stronger in the future, even short periods of reversing time may be achievable. This is the most formidable state of Time Variation. Therefore, to upgrade Time Variation, you need to significantly enhance your Spiritual Power. There\'s a simple method to cultivate Spiritual Power, which is consumption. Deplete your Spiritual Power to the point of exhaustion, even overdraw it. When your spirit recovers, it will be improved. I think while you stimulate the growth of your bloodline, you should focus more on enhancing Spiritual Power. When your Spiritual Power is strong enough, the stimulation to your bloodline will be stronger. I believe Time Variation might need more of a spiritual aspect of bloodline stimulation, rather than the stimulation of bloodline energy itself. This could possibly be your advancement route, at least I think it should have some effect before the Ninth Stage peak."
Gu Li\'s Time Variation was highly valued by Tang San, and since there were no teachers around, he didn\'t care if others might wonder why he had so many ideas. He still felt it necessary to share the correct cultivation methods with Gu Li.
Upgrading Time Variation definitely isn\'t just about stimulating the bloodline energy, or to put it simply, it shouldn\'t be only about increasing bloodline energy. Instead, continuous spiritual stimulation is needed, causing a qualitative change in his Sea of Spirit, which in turn allows Time Variation to evolve.
To grasp the essence of Time, nothing is more important than a strong Spiritual Power or even divine consciousness. If Gu Li\'s Spiritual Power is strong enough, he can use Time Variation more frequently, and the bloodline, stimulated by powerful Spiritual Power, has a greater chance of transforming.
After hearing this, the disappointment in Gu Li\'s eyes turned to surprise, "Just by simply overextending the Spiritual Power, it can be enhanced?"
Tang San said, "It\'s a crude method, but also a very straightforward one. You can give it a try later. This way of cultivating Spiritual Power is suitable for anyone. Brother Du Bai, you might try it too. To further enhance your Heavenly Fox Eye, you\'ll also need strong Spiritual Power. Of course, we shouldn\'t attempt this during our mission since recovering from excessive Spiritual Power consumption requires quite some time."
What Tang San didn\'t say was that this crude method of cultivation is actually only suited for places with an abundance of heaven earth origin energy. In this Falan World, on the Demon Monster Continent, where the heaven earth origin energy is extremely dense, the body will naturally absorb the energy from the air to replenish itself after excessive consumption, and this applies to Spiritual Power as well.
In his previous life, before the evolution of the Soul Land, this method of cultivation would have been effective but certainly not as effective as in this world.
"I\'ll try it too when we get back," said Wu Bingji without hesitation.
