Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 2321 - 810: Enlightening the Foolish Child, The End of Divinity Transformation
Kunwu Mountain.
Ever since he sent his son Zhou Xinyuan out, Zhou Chun’s life has returned to normal.
Over the years, his cultivation has been diligent and hardworking. Although he has not consumed any elixirs, his Mana has steadily increased.
According to the experiences of predecessors, after the Nascent Soul Late Stage, Mana Perfection takes approximately two to three hundred years, give or take.
By this calculation, he needs at most another hundred years of cultivation to achieve Mana Perfection.
So he’s not at all anxious about this aspect.
Currently, his only worry is how to overcome the "Essence Energy Tribulation."
It’s important to note that it is now less than four hundred years since the Evil Qi has completely dissipated.
This period may seem long, but for a Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator aspiring for Divinity Transformation Stage, it is far from sufficient.
Thus, Zhou Chun had no choice but to start practicing those unique Secret Techniques to cope with the "Essence Energy Tribulation" ahead of time.
Based on his own situation, he selected two Secret Techniques given to him by Tai Geng Divine Venerable for cultivation, called the "Golden Body Energy Consumption Technique" and the "Divine Thought Embodiment Technique."
The former refines the body, developing its ability to adapt to and withstand nature’s spiritual energy, while the latter is a method to temper Divine Sense, enhancing its control over the body’s Mana.
These two Secret Techniques are created to deal with the "Essence Energy Tribulation," and there is no tier or level division — the effectiveness entirely depends on the practitioner’s own capabilities.
The practice of the "Golden Body Energy Consumption Technique" involves consuming and refining various attributes and types of nature’s spiritual energy — the more kinds refined, the better the effect.
Whereas the "Divine Thought Embodiment Technique" primarily requires frequent practice to achieve the desired effect.
Zhou Chun initially chose these two Secret Techniques also because their cultivation conditions are not harsh; he can start practicing immediately.
After making his decision, the Zhou Family Steward Hall soon issued a series of missions with high rewards, purchasing various attributes of evil qi and spiritual energy on a large scale and even distributing Magic Artifacts to collect these spiritual and evil energies.
In less than half a year, with the efforts of the entire Zhou Family, Zhou Chun amassed dozens of common types of evil qi and spiritual energy.
He did not hesitate, sealing his cultivation level with a Secret Technique, and began consuming and refining those spiritual and evil energies solely through his physical body.
Given his cultivation level, if he did not do this, these spiritual and evil energies would be driven and refined by his Mana upon entering his body.
Meanwhile, as Zhou Chun was deeply engrossed in cultivation, the results of Zhou Xinyuan’s sword fights outside were continually reported to him.
The outcome was as expected; the proud Zhou Xinyuan, having heard he could go out to fight swordsmen, went directly to the Great Zhou Kingdom to challenge disciples from renowned sects like the Nine Elements Sword Sect.
Then, in battles pure swords-only, he lost ten times out of ten, failing even to draw a match!
After this series of defeats, he seemed to have suffered a setback and was now merely renting a cave mansion in Tianyuan Immortal City to cultivate quietly.
Zhou Chun did not intervene but simply instructed people to keep an eye on the situation.
But three years later, a shocking news spread throughout the Human Clan Cultivation Realm, rattling all the Human Clan Cultivators.
It was that the creator of the Jade Talisman, the famously Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator, Tianyi Divine Venerable, had perished!
According to news from Tianyi Sect, Tianyi Divine Venerable had chosen to go to the Doran Prairie to engage in a life-and-death battle against a Multi-Winged Clan Saint Ancestor as his life’s wind drew to a close.
Ultimately, Tianyi Divine Venerable was defeated by the opponent and fell at his hand!
But after this battle, the Multi-Winged Clan Saint Ancestor was severely wounded as well, essentially going back to arrange his affairs!
This news, sparking inner admiration for Tianyi Divine Venerable’s contributions to the Human Clan, also gave rise to a touch of anxiety, fearing that it might reignite racial warfare.
"It’s truly awe-inspiring that Tianyi Divine Venerable chose to end in this manner!"
On Kunwu Mountain, upon hearing this news, Zhou Chun was stunned for a long time, and only then did he sigh with emotion.
He couldn’t help recalling his few interactions with Tianyi Divine Venerable, and the impression that master gave him was profound and unfathomable.
Yet he hadn’t imagined that the renowned master, famous for his water-attribute Divine Skills, would be capable of such fierceness at the final stage.
This soon led Zhou Chun to consider another Human Clan Divinity Transformation Period Cultivator, Yuanyang Venerable.
As far as he knew, Yuanyang Venerable was also nearing the end of his life’s wind; what choice would Yuanyang Venerable make?
Since the records from so long ago, only cultivators from the same era and some top influential forces know about early reports concerning Tianyi Divine Venerable and Yuanyang Venerable.
Even Zhou Chun only knew that Tianyi Divine Venerable underwent Divine Transformation seven or eight hundred years earlier than Yuanyang Venerable; later, Yuanyang Venerable also successfully underwent Divine Transformation. That the Human Clan produced two Mahayana Phase Venerables within a millennium was tremendously shocking to neighboring alien races.
Now with Tianyi Divine Venerable’s demise, Yuanyang Venerable should be far from withstanding; would he follow in Tianyi Divine Venerable’s footsteps?
"If he truly could emulate Tianyi Divine Venerable, I’d respect him thrice over and no longer dwell on past grievances!"
As Zhou Chun murmured to himself, he quieted his mind for further cultivation.
The fall of Tianyi Divine Venerable undoubtedly represents a great loss for the Human Clan.
However, Zhou Chun believes that those alien races definitely won’t restart hostilities at this time.
After all, the Multi-Winged Clan Saint Ancestor was severely injured by Tianyi Divine Venerable and is nearly incapable of fighting again, while Nine Blades Barbarian Saint has not regained sixth rank strength.
