Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 266 - Preparations Before Departure, New Spells!

Chapter 266 Preparations Before Departure, New Spells!

“Master, is the Purple Sun Realm really so powerful?” Li Mingqiong could not help but ask.

Pei Qingshu and Li Wei also looked at Cui Heng, wanting to seek an answer to this question.

Cui Heng’s guess just now was too terrifying, and he had described the Purple Sun Realm as too powerful. It was unbelievable.

“It’s just some guesses.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and smiled. “I’ve never been to the Purple Sun Realm, nor have I seen any books about it. Naturally, it’s impossible to know the exact situation.

“However, it’s not wrong to be cautious. Now that the Purple Sun Realm has yet to reveal themselves, the outside world has very little understanding of them. We should still be careful lest we suffer a huge loss because of carelessness.”

“Yes, Master,” Li Mingqiong and Pei Qingshu replied in unison. They felt much more at ease, but they still maintained their vigilance towards the Purple Sun Realm.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can leave first.” Cui Heng waved his hand and glanced at the books piled on the table. “I’ll be reading here next. If there’s anything else, you can come over anytime.”

“Immortal Venerable, I, I have something to ask you.” Li Wei mustered her courage and took a step forward.

“Speak.” Cui Heng nodded slightly.

“I want to ask about our cultivation method.” Li Wei took a deep breath and said with an incomparably solemn expression, “You said that there’s a problem with the cultivation method that uses Immortal True Essence as the core. What’s going on?”

“It’s not difficult for you to discover the problem if you think about it. You didn’t discover it earlier because you didn’t suspect anything.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “From the moment you became a Golden Immortal, were you cultivating your own body or your Immortal True Essence?”

“This…” Li Wei immediately felt as if she had been struck by lightning and froze on the spot.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind. All kinds of doubts that had appeared when she was cultivating in the past but she did not care about now appeared again.

Why did Mystic Deities not cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm like the previous realms? Instead, they had to rely on external objects like the Immortal True Essence?

Even the Immortal bodies of Golden Immortals relied on the existence of Immortal True Essence.

If one wanted to become a Limitless Golden Immortal, they had to strengthen the Immortal True Essence.

Whether it was a Golden Immortal or a Limitless Golden Immortal, all of their cultivation revolved around the Immortal True Essence. Even breaking through to the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm and becoming a Sage was a strengthening of the Immortal True Essence. From the Golden Immortal realm, or rather, from the Fifth Realm, the core of a martial artist’s cultivation was no longer themselves, but the Immortal True Essence.

In that case, once the Immortal True Essence was stripped away, all their cultivation results from the Fifth Realm onwards would leave with the Immortal True Essence…

No, that’s not right!

When they broke through to the Sixth Realm, the nomological divine powers imprinted on their body had also been fused into the Immortal True Essence.

In other words, if the Immortal True Essence of a Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm Sage was stripped away, all their cultivation results would be wasted starting from the Fourth Realm Mystic Deity realm.

Li Wei immediately understood the problem.

Actually, this was not the first time she had thought of these questions. She had heard about it from others before, but she had never really thought about it or doubted anything.

After all, the cultivation method with the Immortal True Essence as the core had existed for an unknown period of time.

There had never been any problems.

To all martial artists, this was a path that could directly point to the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm.

If there was a problem with this cultivation method, how could they become a Golden Immortal, how could they refine an undying body, and how could they reach the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm?

There was no answer to any of this.

At this moment, Li Wei had already understood everything, and she also understood why no one really cared about these doubts even though they were so obvious.

Because this was the only path.

Only when the path was no longer unique and a new path was presented to them would the people who cultivated this path feel that the path they took might be wrong.

But it was only a “might”.

“Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Venerable.” Li Wei knelt down respectfully. Her gaze changed from fear and confusion to resolution as she said solemnly, “Immortal Venerable, please strip away my Immortal True Essence.”

As soon as she said this, Li Mingqiong and Pei Qingshu looked at her in surprise.

Li Wei had already become a Limitless Golden Immortal for hundreds of years. Her cultivation was all on the Immortal True Essence. Even the increase in her lifespan was brought about by the Immortal True Essence.

If she stripped away the Immortal True Essence now, not only would she lose all the cultivation results of the past hundreds of years, but she would also have very little lifespan left.

She was more than 700 years old now.

To a Limitless Golden Immortal with a lifespan of 5,000 years, her life had just begun. She could also confidently say that she was young

However, once her realm returned to the Taiyi Mystic Deity realm, she would only have a thousand years of lifespan.

In another 200 years, she would die of old age.

“Oh?” Cui Heng was also a little surprised. He sized up this little girl and examined her. “After stripping away the Immortal True Essence, your realm will decrease.

How are you going to cultivate next? Could it be that you want to explore the path to becoming a Golden Immortal without the Immortal True Essence? You won’t have much lifespan left to do that.”

“To be honest, Immortal Venerable, I did have such thoughts, but I know my limits. I know that I’m not capable enough to be the ancestor of a lineage.” Li Wei shook her head and explained, “I want to ask Sister Mingqiong to keep me by her side as her female official. I’ll use the remaining 200 years of my life to obtain her recognition and seek the method to become a Golden Immortal.”

Li Mingqiong was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she did not say anything. She did not agree or refuse.

Back in the Heavenly Void World, Cui Heng had allowed her and Pei Qingshu to take in disciples and impart their techniques. They could teach the Soul Golden Core technique and the Martial Dao True Body technique to their favorite disciples.

This was also to allow these two paths to go further. A semi-finished cultivation path like this could not be cultivated behind closed doors. One had to gather more data. The more people cultivating it together, the easier it would be for them to go further.

“To you, this is indeed the best choice.” Cui Heng actually had some guesses when Li Wei made the request. He smiled and said, “However, whether you can obtain Mingqiong’s recognition will depend on your own ability.” Then, he looked at Li Mingqiong. “Do you want to take this female official in?”

“Master, she has been organizing the books in a rather orderly manner recently. She’s quite useful.” Li Mingqiong nodded and smiled. “Coincidentally, the Disciple Palace also lacks a close-combat attendant.” “Then it’s settled.” Cui Heng nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Immortal Venerable. Thank you, Sister Mingqiong. No, thank you, Your Grace!” Li Wei kowtowed repeatedly. This grace could be said to have started her new life.

Pei Qingshu rubbed his nose at the side. He felt that standing here was a little redundant. It had nothing to do with him.

….

When Li Cheng saw his sister’s actions, he was stunned on the spot and said in surprise, “This, what’s going on? Why are you…”

At this moment, Li Wei’s Immortal True Essence had already been stripped away by Cui Heng, and her lifespan had greatly decreased. It was equivalent to her entering her twilight years from her teenage years.

Even though she had the cultivation of a Taiyi Mystic Deity to nourish her body and did not look especially old, she no longer looked like a young girl. She looked to be in her forties now. Her appearance was still very beautiful, and her facial features were still incomparably moving. Her figure was still graceful, but she had many charms that she never had before.

Li Cheng and the current Li Wei did not look like siblings. Instead, they looked like a father and daughter pair.

However, Li Wei was in a good mood. She was not depressed by the change in her appearance at all. Instead, she felt the joy of being reborn.

Faced with her brother’s shock, she even had the mood to joke, “Li Cheng, address me as Elder Sister!”

However, Li Cheng was not in the mood to joke. He sized up Li Wei in surprise and panic. “What’s going on? Why did your realm regress to the Taiyi Mystic Deity realm? Your Immortal True Essence was stripped away. It’s Immortal Venerable…”

I took the initiative to ask Immortal Venerable to strip away my Immortal True Essence.” Li Wei interrupted Li Cheng and explained, “It’s like this…”

Then, she told Li Cheng about the matter of the Immortal True Essence.

Li Cheng fell silent. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed. “In the past, I always felt that I could be your role model no matter what you encountered. Now, I realize that there are some things that I really can’t

do.”

At this point, he paused and suddenly smiled again. He said to Li Wei solemnly, “You did the right thing!”

“Yes!” Li Wei nodded and said, “I will do my best to work beside the Empress and strive to obtain her recognition as soon as possible!”

….

In the next few days, Cui Heng flipped through the books that Ye Han had “left behind”.

The Plague Imperial Palace had a long history that could be traced back to 120,000 years ago. If one studied it carefully, they might be able to find some clues about ancient secrets.

To him, every ancient secret could mean a large wave of “experience”.

Naturally, it was very valuable to investigate.

In addition, he had also done a deeper study of the martial techniques pa.s.sed down in the Plague Imperial Palace. He tried to use these martial techniques to create some more practical spells.

The martial techniques of the Plague Imperial Palace were mainly focused on plagues, disasters, and death.

Although these were all relatively negative laws and Great Dao, they were all methods to launch a large-scale group attack. Moreover, they involved a certain degree of the mysteries of life and had good reference and research value.

However, after studying martial techniques for a period of time, Cui Heng suddenly felt that he seemed to have grasped too few true spells.

A hundred years had pa.s.sed, and he was still using the 13 spells that he had deduced before he went to the Heavenly Void World.

“The balance of the System currency is already extremely sufficient. It’s fine to take out a little to deduce new spells.”

Cui Heng’s mind immediately became active. “Moreover, I’m really going to step into the vast starry skies of the universe next. The situation in the Purple Sun Realm is even more unknown.

I indeed need some new spells to rely on.”
