Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Grand Banquet for Guests

At the moment Lu Xuanji was comprehending the Spring Wind Spirit Wood Technique, the Grand Elder was also imparting the Minor Divine Technique of the Celestial Fire Technique to Ye Feixue.

The Celestial Fire Technique primarily converts the True Qi within the body into the supreme Celestial Fire.

Unlike the Spring Wind Wood Spirit Art, which focuses on support and healing, the Celestial Fire Technique is purely a Great Art of Slaughter, an offensive Secret Technique.

Ye Feixue was comprehending the Celestial Fire Technique, and also entered a state of enlightenment.

Lu Xuanji glanced over, casually memorizing the Celestial Fire Technique, planning to study it further later.

Seeing the two in a state of enlightenment, the Grand Elder couldn’t help but smile.

Entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, the first two or three years are when the mind is most active, also the most likely time for enlightenment.

Many cultivators choose to cultivate in seclusion, digesting their comprehensions.

...

Time passed, and a year later, the aura around Ye Feixue started to transform, a flame of destruction rose from her body, after a long time, the flame converged and transformed, returning to calm.

Yet Ye Feixue opened her eyes, and it seemed there were flames burning within her pupils.

The aura of destruction was surging, it was pure destruction, nothing else existed beyond destruction, strong because of purity, terrifying because of purity.

Moments later, the destructive aura converged, and the flame within her pupils vanished.

Her pupils concentrated the light, returning to a normal appearance.

Yet at this moment, within Ye Feixue’s Dantian, a Talisman was inscribed with True Qi.

This Talisman is called the Celestial Fire Talisman.

She had entered the initiation of the Celestial Fire Technique.

Condensing the first Celestial Fire Talisman was just initiation.

Condensing nine Celestial Fire Talismans is considered Minor Success.

Condensing thirty-six Celestial Fire Talismans is considered Great Success.

Only condensing sixty-four Celestial Fire Talismans represents Perfection.

Using the Talisman to lead the path, evolving Divine Techniques.

The power in the early stages is mediocre, but as it progresses to the later stages, the power becomes terrifying.

The initial stages are relatively easy and time-consuming, but as it progresses, the time taken grows, and the difficulty becomes immense.

"A heaven-gifted genius."

The Grand Elder remarked.

There’s no need to say anything extra because it’s unnecessary.

At this moment, Lu Xuanji was still immersed in comprehension.

The Grand Elder’s expression shifted slightly.

Once, he believed that this junior had a special physique; however, after stepping into Foundation Establishment, he realized he was mistaken.

This descendant was merely of a Mortal Body, without any special physique, but with astonishing comprehension.

At this moment, Lu Xuanji’s body was undergoing dramatic changes, a surge of intense Wood Spirit Qi rose, transforming into a towering tree.

The tree was extremely tall, spanning across the stars, passing through Chaos, the roots beneath extending into countless dark Netherworld realms; the canopy above connected to the Immortal Realm, drawing Spiritual Qi.

The anomaly lasted only for three breaths before vanishing.

Then, Wood Qi soared upwards, forming a Cyan Lotus; then, Li Fire Qi rose and transformed into flames, encircling the Cyan Lotus; then, Earth Qi ascended, settling beneath the Cyan Lotus, becoming its nourishment. The three combined perfectly.

Using Earth to nourish Wood, using Wood to assist Fire.

The anomaly was continuously rising and changing, and after a long time, the anomaly dispersed, appearing as if it never existed.

Yet as the Cultivation Technique operated, it continually absorbed external Spiritual Qi, the Spiritual Qi forming vortices, surging towards his body, endlessly.

This speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was extraordinarily fast.

Five layers faster compared to normal Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Self-created Cultivation Technique, perfectly fitting his three main attributes."

A trace of surprise flashed across the Grand Elder.

Low-level cultivators rarely create their Cultivation Techniques, firstly because their lifespan is limited, time is precious, and there isn’t enough time to create Cultivation Techniques; secondly, due to limited insight and insufficient comprehension, they aren’t capable of creating Cultivation Techniques.

In summary, the cost-effectiveness is too poor, not worth it.

Many low-level cultivators learn from the Cultivation Techniques of predecessors.

Only after reaching the Golden Core Stage does the lifespan become extremely long, nearing a millennium, allowing cultivators to continually comprehend various Cultivation Techniques, drawing advantages from many, thereby creating their own Cultivation Techniques.

A self-created Cultivation Technique fits oneself better and speeds up cultivation.

Of course, if one is particularly fortunate and happens upon a Cultivation Technique that perfectly fits oneself, with a hundred percent congruence rate, there’s no need to force oneself to create a Cultivation Technique.

Creating a Cultivation Technique is extremely difficult, requiring extraordinary talent and comprehension, a long lifespan, and a wealth of knowledge and experience, making it difficult to reach that point.

But Lu Xuanji had just entered Foundation Establishment, and he had already created a Cultivation Technique, and advanced quite far.

After a long time, Lu Xuanji gathered his aura, completely stabilizing his cultivation.

The Cyan Lotus Creation Technique perfectly matched him, accelerating his cultivation speed.

The Spring Wind Wood Spirit Art also was initiated.

In the Dantian, three Spirit Woods were inscribed.

"How do you feel?" the Grand Elder asked.

"Feels great."

Lu Xuanji said, with an elated mood: "Better than ever."

"That’s good then," the Grand Elder smiled, "Since you’ve become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, you should throw a grand banquet, invite guests, and have a grand celebration."

In the Cultivator Clan, after the emergence of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a grand celebration is held not only to reflect strength but also to boost the clan’s morale.

The liveliness is even more than a wedding in a previous life.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator affects the fate of smaller clans, determining the future of some small clans.

Even in the Dan Yang Sect, Foundation Establishment Cultivators are considered pivotal figures, influencing future configurations, and are the seeds of Purple Mansion Cultivators, belonging to the level of Elders or Inner Sect Disciples.

The Dan Yang Sect also merely registers the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in its vassal forces, imposing a tax (collecting tributes) on them and conscripting Foundation Establishment Cultivators (military service), with household registration primarily focused on Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

As for the Qi Cultivation Cultivators and ordinary people below them, they aren’t registered.

Similarly, only Foundation Establishment Cultivators are eligible to establish a cultivator clan, and if all Foundation Establishment Cultivators in a clan perish, the clan’s cultivator status is revoked.

Losing the title of a cultivator clan means no longer paying taxes to the Dan Yang Sect and not needing to oblige to the sect’s conscription, but it also means the clan won’t receive protection from the Dan Yang Sect and will be reduced to a Loose Cultivator.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators hold significant importance to each clan.

"Grand Elder, our Lu Family is currently weak; it’s best not to be too ostentatious, we should keep a low profile, survival is primary."

Lu Xuanji suggested, speaking of the philosophy of survival.

The Grand Elder smiled, his face revealing a hint of madness: "In the Cultivation Realm, the weak are prey to the strong, competition is endless. Although there are rules in the Dan Yang Sect preventing large-scale wars, there are all kinds of open and secret struggles, schemes endlessly. Being too low-profile might be seen as weakness, and be preyed on by others."

"It’s best to show formidable claws and demonstrate a fearsome side to deter the encroaching wolves and tigers."

"Xuanji, you are excellent in every way, except you are too calm, too rational. You are just a child but think as calmly as an elderly, that’s not good."
