Chapter 284
The news of various cultivators making breakthroughs spread out after they went out of the secret realm, but Xiao Jinting had kept a low profile and no one knew about their improvement.
Occasionally, Xiao Jinting would discuss all kinds of things with Qiu Yun and Mu Yun.
Xiao Jinting found that the relationship between Qiu Yun and Mu Yun didn’t get much better, but Mu Yun had improved a lot compared to three years ago. He got much cheekier than three years ago.
“Recently, the Heavenly God Sect is frantically looking for the person who took away the Soul Refining Water.” Mu Yun said.
Xiao Jinting was curious. “Why does Heavenly God Sect look for the person who took away the Soul Refining Water? Even though the Soul Refining Water had a miraculous effect on spiritual power, it shouldn’t be of much use to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Why are they making such a big fuss?”
Mu Yun shook his head and said, “Actually, they are not looking for the Soul Refining Water, but the God Demon Body Refining Manual which is rumored to exist in the same cave with the refining water.”
“Thousands of years ago, a cultivator of the Heavenly God Sect had entered the cave and imprinted the manual, but later part of it was lost.”
Xiao Jinting was curious. God Demon Body Refining Manual? Wasn’t it Heavenly Demon Body Refining Manual? On second thought, he guessed that Heavenly God Sect was a respected major sect, and it was not proper for them to practice Heavenly Demon Body Refining Manual, so God Demon sounded better.
“Is this manual good?” asked Xiao Jinting.
“Actually, very few people have practiced it.” Qiu Yun shook his head.
Xiao Jinting was confused, “Why?”
“Because it consumes a lot of materials, and most people can’t afford to cultivate it,” said Qiu Yun with a lack of interest.
“However, there is one benefit after one finishes the cultivation of the manual,” Mu Yun said.
Xiao Jinting thought to himself, “Finally, they get to the point. What is the benefit? The Heavenly God Sect would not be so anxious to get this manual if there is no big benefit.”
“This manual can increase the probability of entering the Deity Formation stage.”
Xiao Jinting was speechless. Deity Formation was too far, but it didn’t harm to make a good preparation.
“The world has changed. Qi nowadays is much thinner than that of tens of thousands of years ago. It is difficult to reach the Nascent Soul stage, let alone Deity Transformation. This manual is useless for most people. I heard that tens of thousands of years ago, there were many people cultivating this manual. They believed in body refining, which could turn the body into a powerful magic weapon if they completed cultivation of the manual.”
Xiao Jinting was amazed.
“Is there an elder in Heavenly God Sect who is going to reach Deity Formation stage?” asked Xiao Jinting.
“There is an elder at the advanced level of Nascent Soul stage in the Heavenly God Sect. If he intends to reach Deity Transformation, he will most likely die under the thunder tribulation. Since ancient times, countless Nascent Soul cultivators died under the thunder tribulation. God Demon Body Refining is one of the strongest body refining techniques. With it, it will be much safer,” Mu Yun said.
Qiu Yun chuckled and said, “The person who owns the manual had better not show up. Otherwise, he will definitely die miserably. Heavenly God Sect has an elder at the Deity Transformation stage. If they have one more, other sects will be threatened. The righteous and demonic sects would not like to see more Deity Transformation cultivators in Heavenly God Sect. In fact, not everyone in Heavenly God Sect is happy to have another Deity Transformation cultivator.”
Xiao Jinting nodded, thinking, “Qiu Yun is right. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The Deity Transformation cultivator in the Heavenly God Sect might not like to have another Deity in the sect.”
Mu Yun looked at Qiu Yun, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Qiu Yun glared back and said angrily, “I am not talking nonsense. Isn’t this the truth?”
Xiao Jinting was speechless.
He changed the topic. “Mr. Qiu, why is the atmosphere in the sect tense recently?”
Gu Yun nodded and said, “That is right.”
Xiao Jinting was puzzled.
He asked curiously, “Why is that?”
“Spiritual stones are the most precious cultivation resource, but the supply of it falls short of the demand, as the production of spiritual mines in the sect is decreasing. In fact, other sects are facing the same problem. Once the spiritual stones are exhausted, the whole cultivation world will be turbulent,” said Qiu Yun.
Xiao Jinting touched his chin and said, “In that case, the most important thing now is to find a spiritual stone mine.”
Gu Yun nodded and said, “Yes, most of the spiritual stone mines have been exploited after so many years, and it is difficult to find a new one, so everyone turns their eyes to the sea.”
Qiu Yun continued, “The land has been clearly divided by various major sects, but there is no demarcation line in the sea area. Recently, the righteous sects have found a few spiritual stone mines on several small islands, but the demonic sects came and killed all the cultivators on the islands, taking over the mines. As a result, the relation between the righteous and demonic sects is strained, and a war might break out.”
