54: Chapter 54: Gathering Inheritance, Organizing Thoughts, and Creating the First Chapter

The attack of the One-Eyed Poison Scorpion rang like a warning bell in Ye Qing's ears.

The border is unstable, and the Yao Race has infiltrated to within hundreds of miles of Liuyun City.

The seemingly peaceful life of Cultivate is actually hiding turbulent undercurrents.

Improving strength is an urgent matter.

However, Ye Qing's method of Cultivate is destined to not take the ordinary path.

He does not rely on Medicinal Pill or external objects, but entirely on the feedback from the space and his own tempering.

Every Realm must reach the theoretical limit before a Breakthrough can happen naturally.

This means he needs a more solid Foundation, more substantial accumulation, and a clearer understanding of his own path than others.

It is time to systematically organize, collect, and even create a Cultivation Technique System that truly suits himself.

Currently, what he practices is still that crude Five Elements basic Cultivation Technique from the Qingyun Sect; although it has been optimized by the space, its essence is inferior and it is no longer sufficient for use.

His methods of fighting mainly rely on his self-created "Pseudo" series of Spell and "Void Realm" type Divine Ability; although sharp and devious, they lack a System and consume a lot.

The Hundred Arts, such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation, and Spirit Plant cultivation, are also learned in a scattered and piecemeal fashion.

"I must read widely, take the essence, discard the dross, and combine my Five Elements Spiritual Root, the advantage of space, the Void Dao Seed, and my insights into the Hundred Arts to create a unique System of Cultivate. It must cover every aspect, including Cultivation Technique, Spell, and even Body Refining, Spirit Refining, escape techniques, and the application of the Hundred Arts."

Ye Qing's thoughts were clear. This is not a task for a single day; it requires long-term accumulation and repeated deduction.

But he has the extraordinary Comprehension Ability granted by the space, and he has time and patience.

The first step is to collect the "Legacies of the Hundred Schools."

The Wen Dao Pavilion in Liuyun City, with hundreds of thousands of volumes, is the perfect information database.

He came to the Wen Dao Pavilion again, this time with a clear goal: all basic, general, and even obscure Jade Slip and books in the Cultivation Technique area, Spell area, and miscellaneous studies area.

He does not care about the grade, only that the content is comprehensive and the concepts are diverse.

From the most basic "Detailed Explanation of Five Elements Qi Guidance" and "108 Forms of Common Attribute Spiritual Power Operation," to the niche "Fragment of Hunyuan One Qi Cultivation," "Introduction to Star Induction Technique," "Miscellaneous Discussion on Body Refining," and "Analysis of Divided Soul and Thought Transformation."

From the orthodox "Complete Collection of Basic Spell" and "True Explanation of Talisman," to the unconventional "Secret Record of Poison Gu," "Miscellaneous Talks on Qimen Dunjia," and "Handnotes on Imitating Yao Beast Divine Ability."

As long as it involves energy operation, body tempering, Divine Soul application, or the principles of techniques, he borrows and copies them all.

Spending Spirit Stone is like water, but his income from the contract with Baicao Hall is stable enough to support it.

He spends his days soaking in the Wen Dao Pavilion, absorbing massive amounts of knowledge like a hungry man.

He does not seek to learn immediately, but to record them first, understanding their core ideas, operating principles, and pros and cons.

Under the blessing of the space's Comprehension Ability, his reading and comprehension speed is extremely fast, and his memory is unforgettable.

The second step is to organize, summarize, and refine the essence.

Inside the Immortal Cave, dozens of blank Jade Slip recording his insights are floating in front of Ye Qing.

He classifies the collected knowledge.

Cultivation Technique types are subdivided by spiritual power attributes, operation routes, tempering focus, and Breakthrough characteristics.

Spell types are classified by attribute, effect, consumption, and casting method.

Body Refining types are distinguished by the part being tempered, energy source, and progress speed.

Spirit Refining types are arranged by tempering method, risk level, and accompanying effects.

The Hundred Arts types are sorted by their respective principles, commonalities, and combination points with Cultivate.

Like the most rigorous scholar, he builds his own knowledge tree.

He soon discovers that many Cultivation Technique and Spell seem different, but their core principles have similarities. Many niche skills, if their essence can be extracted, might be combined with orthodox Cultivate to produce miraculous effects.

For example, a fragment of Body Refining mentions tempering internal organs with "Evil Qi of Earth Fire." Although dangerous, the idea can be used for reference; perhaps he can try to replace it with the gentle star power and moonlight Qi within the space.

Another example is a crude Spell that mimics the gliding of a "Wind Falcon." Its concept of borrowing force and unloading force is quite inspiring for optimizing the "Wind Spirit Wings" and "Void Step."

Furthermore, the compatibility ideas of the monarch, minister, assistant, and guide regarding medicinal properties in several low-grade Pill Formula actually have the same effect as the layout of spiritual power nodes in some composite Formation.

"The Dao is simple, and all methods have the same Origin. Many profound truths are hidden in these basic, niche, or even incomplete Legacies. It just depends on whether one has the Wisdom Eye and the ability to discover, refine, and perform Fusion."

Ye Qing is immersed in it, enjoying it tirelessly. Every new discovery and association deepens his understanding of the essence of Cultivate.

The third step is to combine it with his own situation and sprout the initial idea.

While sorting and refining in the vast knowledge, Ye Qing constantly compares, verifies, and deduces various concepts with his own situation.

His own Five Elements Spiritual Root, seemingly Trash, might not be unable to be transformed into an advantage under the reconciliation of the space and the feedback of massive energy. Possessing all Five Elements means he can accommodate, transform, and use energy of various attributes, and his Foundation might be more comprehensive and stable than those with single attributes or special Spiritual Roots.

The existence of the space is the biggest variable. It not only provides endless energy and Comprehension Ability blessing, but its internal attributes such as Chaos, stars, moonlight, and Void Realm, as well as the gradually forming ecological cycle, Floating Landmass, and Void Turbulence Zone inside, all provide him with a unique reference for the "Dao."

The Void Dao Seed points directly to the Void Realm Great Dao and is the guarantee for the upper limit of his future Cultivate.

His insights into the Hundred Arts allow his micro-control and macro-application of spiritual power, matter, and energy to far exceed those of the same rank.

"My Cultivation Technique should not be limited to the traditional operation of spiritual power cycles. It should take the internal space as the 'Inner World' and use myself as a bridge to induce the power of space to feedback and temper myself, while simultaneously using my own insights and energy to feedback and nourish the space, forming a cycle of symbiosis and common growth."

"The spiritual power attribute should be based on the rotation of the Five Elements, reconciling Chaos, embellishing stars, integrating moonlight, and attempting to unify the power of the Void Realm. I do not seek the extreme of one attribute, but rather to encompass everything, with an immeasurable Foundation."

"Spell and Divine Ability should take the Void Realm attribute as the core, combined with the changes of Five Elements mutual generation and Restriction, accompanied by wind and thunder, to form a unique 'Void Realm Five Elements Dao Method.' It has both the devious unpredictability of the Void Realm and the infinite changes of the Five Elements."

"Body Refining should not only temper the muscles, bones, skin, and organs, but also nourish every inch of flesh and blood with space energy, and even try to refine the 'toughness' of the space barrier, the 'tearing' of the Void Turbulence Zone, the 'eternity' of the stars, and the 'serenity' of the moonlight into oneself."

"Spirit Refining, in addition to conventional tempering, needs to be deeply combined with the Void Dao Seed to perceive the mysteries of space and enhance the intuitive insight into energy, crises, and the operation of all things."

A vague yet infinitely possible path of self-created Cultivation Technique gradually emerged in Ye Qing's mind.

He decided to name this unique Legacy, which has not yet been born and integrates space, Void Realm, Five Elements, stars, moonlight, and even insights into the Hundred Arts, the "Hunxu Yandao Scripture."

"Hun" implies the Origin of Chaos, encompassing everything, and also refers to the chaotic state in the internal space that has not yet been fully defined.

"Xu" points directly to the Void Realm Great Dao and is the core and reliance of his future Dao path.

"Yandao" means that this scripture is not fixed and unchanging, but will continue to be deduced, evolved, and perfected with the improvement of his cultivation, the growth of the space, and the deepening of his insights. It is a dynamic, growing "Dao" that belongs solely to him.

Currently, it is just a prototype, a direction, and countless details need to be filled, verified, and optimized.

But he is not in a hurry.

With a direction, the rest is to use time, resources, and wisdom to turn it into reality step by step.

This day, while he was in the Immortal Cave deducing how to more smoothly transform Five Elements spiritual power into a trace of Void Realm power, the Restriction outside the Immortal Cave was triggered again.

It was the sound transmission Talisman from Shopkeeper Zhou Ming of Baicao Hall.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, sorry to bother you. Our shop recently received a batch of broken ancient Jade Slip. The content is messy, involving some ancient runes and incomplete Cultivation Technique, which are obscure and difficult to understand. Knowing that you are knowledgeable, I wonder if you are interested in taking a look? If you can identify a thing or two, or gain something, it can be considered a reward."

Ancient Jade Slip? Ancient runes? Incomplete Cultivation Technique?

Ye Qing's heart moved.

It came just in time.

He is in need of more ancient, niche, and systematically different Legacy knowledge to verify, supplement, and inspire his self-created "Hunxu Yandao Scripture."

"Many thanks to Shopkeeper Zhou for informing me. I will be there shortly."

After replying to the sound transmission Talisman, Ye Qing tidied up a bit and went to Baicao Hall again.

On the road of steady development, collecting and creating have never stopped.

Inside his body, in the 150-zhang Immortal Cave, Chaos Qi flows slowly, the leaves of the moonlight star seed stretch, as if it is also silently nurturing that supreme Legacy called "Hunxu Yandao Scripture," which belongs solely to Ye Qing and will surely shake the universe in the future.
