Chapter 218 - 218 Cultivation Is Really Too Difficult
The shattering of the Dao Platform did not affect his cultivation.
So, after he cultivated so many Dao Bricks, where did the additional cultivation come from?
“I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out…”
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Xia rubbed his temples to ease his headache and sighed with a strange expression. “It’s said that when divine beings cultivate, their cultivation rises like the tide. The more they cultivate, the more they understand and the clearer it becomes. In the end, it’s completely the other way around for me!”
He could not figure it out, nor did it become clear to him.
In the end, Feng Xia could only give up on thinking. In any case, his cultivation level did not fall at all. In comparison, the injuries on his body and soul were more serious. He needed to recuperate properly.
“Forget it, let’s not think too much about it.”
Feng Xia shook his head with a bitter smile.
One had to take one step at a time, eat one mouthful at a time, and cultivate bit by bit. For example, he should set a small goal for himself first, which was to cultivate the Dharma Characteristic Realm in the Demon Imperial Tombs.
Of course, before Feng Xia figured out the problem of his sole Mystical Wheel and the traps of the Divine Power Realm, he would not cultivate recklessly.
However, things were different at the moment…
The current him had an Azure Dragon incarnation!
Although the incarnation and the original body were originally one and the same, the strength of the Floating Dream Three Lives Technique was that the cultivation of the incarnation and the original body could be completely separated!
Simply put, the original body could cultivate himself, and the incarnation could cultivate himself.
When needed, the two could be combined into one to achieve a huge increase in cultivation and combat strength. When not needed, they could be clearly separated and would not go against nor interfere with each other.
“My original body can continue to walk this strange path, but the Azure Dragon incarnation can cultivate the normal way, with eight Mystical Wheels, eight divine powers, eight Dao Platforms, and then advance into the Primal Core Realm…”
With a quick thought, Feng Xia made a plan in his heart.
At the same time, the Azure Dragon incarnation had already sat down in the lotus position. His chest rose and fell as he breathed in and exhaled the surrounding spiritual qi of the world. Then, a cultivation technique unique to the East Sea Flood Dragon Clan appeared in Feng Xia’s mind.
The Cangming Diagram of the Nine Heavens.
The strongest and final inheritance of the East Sea Flood Dragon Clan.
The Cangming Diagram of the Nine Heavens was said to be a perfect cultivation technique that could lead one to the Deity Realm!
“The Cangming Diagram of the Nine Heavens…” Feng Xia muttered this name in a low voice. It was unknown if he was lamenting or letting out an inaudible sigh.
In the body of the Azure Dragon incarnation, the Azure Dragon Bloodline was instantly activated. Under the guidance of the Cangming Diagram of the Nine Heavens, it was like a gurgling stream. Although it was not very magnificent, its advantage was that it was like an endless stream that flowed through every corner of his body.
The spiritual energy in the world slowly gathered and poured into the Azure Dragon incarnation’s body, cleansing his body and bloodline, slowly increasing his cultivation.
At a certain moment, the Azure Dragon incarnation suddenly swayed. His aura grew steadily, and a Mystical Wheel appeared behind his head.
First level of the Inception Realm!
This was only the beginning. Once the first Mystical Wheel was condensed, there was a second faint shadow on the first Mystical Wheel and it rapidly became clearer.
At a certain moment, the aura of the Azure Dragon incarnation increased again.
Second level of the Inception Realm!
After that, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth Mystical Wheel condensed behind his head within a very short period of time.
“Eighth level… of the Inception Realm!”
After an unknown period of time, Feng Xia exhaled deeply and opened his eyes at the same time as the Azure Dragon incarnation. “Next up is the Divine Power Realm. In the Cangming Diagram of the Nine Heavens inheritance, there are many kinds of divine powers. It shouldn’t be difficult to cultivate this realm. However, the spiritual energy in this area has basically been exhausted. If I want to continue cultivating, I have to change a spot.”
Other than that, when the Azure Dragon incarnation was cultivating in the Inception Realm, it also encountered a problem that Feng Xia’s original body had never encountered when cultivating.
“Why do I feel like… I can condense a ninth Mystical Wheel?”
Feng Xia could not figure it out.
In the past, when he was cultivating, he could not produce a second Mystical Wheel no matter how he tried. Yet now when the Azure Dragon incarnation was cultivating, his Mystical Wheel opened up one after another. It was not enough to open eight Mystical Wheels. It seemed that as long as he was willing, he could form a ninth Mystical Wheel!
“In any case, it’s an incarnation. I’ll try it.”
Feng Xia did not hesitate too much. He quickly got the Azure Dragon incarnation to start cultivating again. With a flash of thought, the ninth Mystical Wheel’s shadow gradually condensed. Although it was much slower than before, it had indeed condensed!
Finally, the moment the ninth Mystical Wheel was formed, the first eight Mystical Wheels suddenly trembled as if they had formed some kind of connection. They resonated with the ninth Mystical Wheel and all of them connected into one. Feng Xia suddenly realized that the speed at which the Azure Dragon incarnation was operating the Mystical Wheels was more than twice as fast as before!
“Can this be… ninth level of the Inception Realm?”
He felt speechless and muttered to himself, “I just want to cultivate peacefully. It will be best if I can reach the Dharma Characteristic Realm in a month. In the end, something new appears. Is cultivation so difficult?”
However, Feng Xia soon made a new discovery. “The ninth level of the Inception Realm. Hmm… I can’t condense a tenth Mystical Wheel, so it seems that I have already perfected this realm. Also, why do I feel…”
A strange expression appeared on his face.
Originally, in the perception of the Azure Dragon incarnation, there was still a high wall between his cultivation and the Divine Power Realm. If he wanted to step into the next realm, he had to either climb over the high wall or completely shatter it.
However, when he stood at the ninth level of the Inception Realm, he suddenly felt that the barrier between realms had become a thin wooden door.
With a light push, he could cross it.
“Yes, I’ll give it a try. At most, I’ll just die.”
Both the Azure Dragon incarnation and Feng Xia spoke in a low voice at the same time, “If it’s really feasible, compared to my original body’s cultivation method, perhaps this method of plus one can be recommended to others.”
A smile appeared on the face of the Azure Dragon incarnation.
The nine Mystical Wheels resonated with one another and trembled. It was as if they had transformed into an invisible hand that pushed forward casually.
Then, the door to the next realm opened with a bang.
“Is this the true Divine Power Realm?”
The aura of the Azure Dragon incarnation became more and more vast and majestic. There was even a natural authority that emanated from it. It was high and mighty, like a true Azure Dragon that shook the world and looked down on it!
“No, I have to cultivate an intrinsic divine power before I can truly reach the first level of the Divine Power Realm.”
Feng Xia and the Azure Dragon incarnation sighed in unison.
“As expected, cultivation is still very difficult. I can’t afford to be careless.”
