238: Chapter 238 [Thunder and Fire Refining Demon and Nurturing Heavenly Treasure Formation], Five Immortal Techniques

"It seems like the law fluctuations of living beings from the Yang world?"

Making this judgment, Wang An immediately took a Yin Locust tree leaf from the Netherworld Realm.

This Yin Locust leaf was pitch black, as if surrounded by Yin energy.

A point of golden light condensed at the fingertip of his Yin Spirit, and he struck a [Yin Soldier Talisman Edict] onto the surface of the leaf.

Afterward, his Yin Spirit thought wrapped around the leaf, fluttering about, and in a moment, it molded an illusory little figure.

Under the protection of his status, it flew silently out of the Thunder Hell, approached the pitch-black crack, and tilted its head as if listening intently.

The reason he did this was not because Wang An could not approach the crack, but because after sensing the approach of a powerful life aura, some weak demons would retreat under this pressure, while the aura of living beings would simultaneously attract even more powerful demons.

At this moment, countless scents, sounds, life fluctuations, and law fluctuations were captured by the Yin Spirit thought.

"Hahaha, so many undead demons, this must be a super ruin. Brothers, we're going to be rich."

"Captain, you are wise and mighty! Let's charge in."

"Living beings... smell good... eat."

"Cough... hah... hiss."

"Ah... help me, Captain. Don't leave me behind... I don't want to die."

In just ten minutes, the originally chaotic law fluctuations calmed down, stopping instantly like the surface of a lake.

After that, smaller demons squeezed toward the crack, attempting to enter this land rich in vitality.

Wang An's Yin Spirit made a judgment and withdrew the [Yin Soldier Talisman Edict], and the leaf figure dissipated immediately once it was gone.

Gazing at the demons squeezing out from the crack from time to time, he saw that the crack was being worn down and expanded bit by bit by a powerful existence behind it.

"In my judgment, I'm afraid it won't take a hundred years before a Tier 2 intermediate demon breaks in, or perhaps even higher-level ones."

Based on this, Wang An set up a great refining array that combined the Dao of Refining and the Dao of Arrays within the Thunder Hell—the [Thunder-Fire Demon-Refining Heavenly Treasure Array].

To set up this array, besides needing the Thunder and Fire environments to provide a continuous means of refining, it also required the comprehension and Dao cultivation knowledge of a Grandmaster of Refining and a Grandmaster of Arrays.

The so-called Dao cultivation realm is a standardized classification among the many Great Daos.

For example, one who can forge top-tier Qi Refining magical artifacts can be called an initiate in the Dao of Refining.

After that, one must be able to fully forge all types of Tier 1 magical artifacts for beginners to be called a Master.

And upon reaching the intermediate stage, with the ability to imbue artifacts with spiritual essence, one automatically reaches the level of a Grandmaster of Refining, though this is still far inferior to a Great Grandmaster who understands a portion of the laws related to the Dao of Refining.

Although Wang An had not comprehended the laws related to the Dao of Refining, with the blessing of his supreme status in the Netherworld Realm, he was already able to reach a state of doing as he pleased.

With the help of the realm's massive computing power, deducing the [Thunder-Fire Demon-Refining Heavenly Treasure Array] did not take much time.

Sure enough, ten days later, a large hole suddenly opened in the barrier in the sky connecting to the Blazing Fire Hell, and countless flames descended.

They were received by the countless runes and terrain features inscribed in the land of this Thunder Hell.

A furnace standing between heaven and earth took shape here.

The upper part of this furnace was covered in infinite flames, while the lower part was supported by intertwined dark clouds and lightning across the sky.

The demons entering this realm from the outside were all guided by the array into the center of the furnace to be refined by the thunder and fire.

Ten thousand meters up in the sky, countless demons over a hundred meters in size were struck by lightning and scorched by flames; the various sinister emotions and monstrous sins around their bodies rapidly withered, and their entire demon bodies were refined into small clusters of energy liquid, entering the furnace of heaven and earth on the side.

A strand of Demon-Slaying Sword Intent continuously absorbed these demon essences within.

This ball of sword intent floated in this ocean of demon essence, sometimes revealing a three-inch-long, hiltless dark sword, and sometimes turning into a gaseous state to absorb the characteristics of these demons.

After Wang An's Yin Spirit finished setting up this great array, he looked at this scene and had an epiphany.

"The method of refining here could perhaps become the method for Flying Swords, a technique for the Sword Immortal path to refine form and quality, going through nine turns and nine changes."

"It's just that I've already put all the remaining Star Beast materials in here. I wonder how much longer I'll have to wait for the mineral veins on Blue Star to advance to the intermediate stage?"

However, he also thought that his Incarnation had already passed the bounty project and entered the small world to conduct experiments, which might be able to lend him a helping hand.

"I can apply for more metal-attribute ores with subtle spatial characteristics to add to the refining of the Flying Swords."

Thinking of this, after dealing with the loose ends, he would return here to check every ten to fifteen days.

Time passed bit by bit. Wang An did not enter deep seclusion again and began to promote the Five Immortals system of Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost to the entire Tianhe Dao lineage.

A large number of foundational cultivation methods for the Five Immortals system were deduced by him.

In addition to the Heavenly Talisman Dao foundation system as the path of the Heaven Immortal, the Earth Immortal cultivation method was the first to be created because there was already a large amount of data and blueprints available.

Wang An named it the [Inner Scene Five Elements Spirit-Nurturing Earth Immortal Method]. Because of the strict spatial laws in the macro-universe, this cultivation method could not open up a real space.

However, it inherited the characteristics of the [Inner Scene Spirit Cultivation Scripture]: "Refining spirituality and comprehending the laws to build a foundation."

In the Qi Refining stage, it is more about contacting spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, getting close to nature and the world to condense spirituality, and simulating the relevant laws within one's own inner scene.

This is exactly the fit: using the human body as a small universe to simulate the great universe of heaven and earth.

In the initial stage of Qi Refining, if one nurtures a tree spirit of a Qi Refining level [Clear Heart Tea Tree], one's comprehension will increase from then on, and the body will spontaneously move toward this high level of comprehension.

It can be considered a method of change and learning from the inside out.

Not only that, there is the [Outer Scene Five Elements Qi-Regulating God Immortal Method] for practicing the God Immortal Dao to control the weather, the [Five Viscera Five Elements Qi-Transforming Human Immortal Method] that only cultivates the self without seeking outwardly to develop the infinite secrets of the human body, and the [Five Qi Five Thunder Refining Form Ghost Immortal Method] to transcend death and return to the Yang world.

These cultivation methods all use the Dao of the Five Elements to explain the path of the Five Immortals, but the Five Elements are themselves a component of the world and the foundation of all living things.

Once one method is mastered, all methods are mastered; cultivating with this naturally presents no obstacles.

Moreover, with the cultivation data of the many disciples from the Incarnation's side, even these Qi Refining level cultivation methods are extremely perfect; at the very least, cultivating to the perfection of Qi Refining is not a problem.

As for the Dao foundation level of cultivation, it still depends on their own fortune. After all, he himself has not practiced other paths; he is only making some deductions and guesses from a high vantage point.

Five years flashed by. Because some people in the Human Federation found it difficult to cultivate on the Heaven Immortal path, they switched to other paths, and even innovated themselves, so the extraordinary systems gradually began to become diverse.

Even some elderly people who had exhausted their lifespan successfully switched to the [Five Qi Five Thunder Refining Form Ghost Immortal Method] after death, maintaining their intelligence in the Netherworld and being able to cultivate for a long time.

With so many Ghost Immortal practitioners, the Netherworld naturally operated more smoothly.

You must know that even with the current population of over 4 billion, millions of elderly people die of old age every year. With these Qi Refining level Yin soldiers and Ghost generals, the Netherworld operates even more efficiently.
