The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 424 - 250: Turtle Shell (Major Promotion for Women’s Channel, Additional Release)_2
There is only one way, which is to break through to the mid stage of the Great Success as soon as possible. At this time, the "True One Technique" should enter the third rank. The biggest difficulty for ordinary demons in cultivation is obtaining enough Spiritual Energy to transform into demonic power, but she is different. The Demon Transformation Spring has merged about seventy to eighty percent of the Changtian’s Divine Power from his External Body, which for her, is an inexhaustible source of Divine Power.
The current problem lies in how much Divine Power she can absorb daily. To put it in perspective, her body is like a container. How much it can hold depends on its capacity and the strength of its walls. Until now, her fascia and meridians could not withstand the onslaught of the Unowned Divine Power in the Demon Transformation Spring; reaching her limit brought unbearable pain, so she could only extract a small portion of Divine Power daily for her own use.
After refining the "True One Technique" to small success, this situation improved. Changtian estimated that the amount of Divine Power she could absorb and transform daily would probably double compared to the present. The variability in the amount is not as simple as 1 + 1, thereby providing her more Divine Power to squander.
For now, however, she must cultivate diligently and cherish every bit of Divine Power stored in her inner core. To achieve this, she even refrains from using the Sword Control Skill she has already mastered, instead opting to ride Qi Zai... This naughty child serves two functions, one as a fighter in battles, and the other as a mount.
"Isn’t there a Magic Artifact that could make me incredibly powerful all at once?" she muttered discontentedly.
He couldn’t help but laugh: "There is. But your cultivation is too low to control it. It’s like a seven-year-old child trying to swing a hammer weighing over a hundred pounds; either he can’t swing it or he’s likely to hurt himself." He then comforted her, "Now that you’ve inadvertently condensed your true heart, your cultivation progress hereafter will be faster and more solid. Just take it one step at a time."
At present, Changtian hadn’t passed on many Divine Skills to her, only teaching her a few practical techniques, such as a Blinding Technique that can change her appearance. High-level Disguise Pills could only fool cultivators below the Great Success Stage and were becoming increasingly ineffective, so Changtian taught her a Blinding Technique learned from the Ancient Immortals that could freely alter her appearance to deceive peers at the same level. For example, she was currently studying the Concealing Breath Technique.
Originally, she relied on the Mist Hidden Rat Tooth Bracelet to conceal her breath. However, this item was originally given to a severely injured Miluo and was forgotten to be taken back later. Now that she had come to a reputable sect like Guangcheng Palace, the chaotic aura on her could attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, thus Changtian wanted her to learn this new technique of Concealing Breath to control the Ba Snake Divine Power aura on her body.
It was just a small section of the spell. After reviewing it a few times, she could use it skillfully. When activated, her aura was concealed, making her appear no different from a mortal.
At this moment, Changtian took out a second item, which was a mask. Strictly speaking, it was just a piece of wood with two holes carved out, very rudely made. She stared at the python pattern on it for a long time before recognizing it as the millennial sediment wood she stole from a woodworking workshop in Shuangyu City, which was only two feet long, clearly insufficient for making any Magic Artifact.
"I don’t know the origins of this object, but I did find one use for it," Changtian casually put the mask on her face. The item had been polished, both sides were very smooth, and its weight had been greatly reduced, "As long as you wear it, even I can’t recognize your true face."
His words were plain, but they carried a deep meaning. If even he couldn’t see through it, then naturally others couldn’t discern her true face either, truly an essential item for home travel and burglary.
Having completed her lessons for the day, she was now able to endure in the Demon Transformation Spring for over forty-five minutes. Every extra breath she sustained allowed her to channel a bit more Divine Power into her inner core. Changtian waited for her to refine the absorbed Divine Power before he spoke gloomily, "Stay away from Miluo."
Did he notice Miluo’s actions? Ning Xiaoxian blinked her eyes.
Changtian, displeased, sternly said: "Did you hear?"
Was he feeling jealous? She sneakily replied, "Received! I’ll obey."
He coughed lightly and said, "Miluo was chased recently and must be entangled in trouble. Don’t get close to him now. Those troubles might not harm him, but they could cost you your life." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Some things, the more you explain, the murkier they become. But she still obediently nodded her head: "Okay."
"Also, don’t get too close to Quan Shifang." He didn’t like Quan Shifang, nor did he like the words he was speaking. But watching two men showing interest in a woman he liked from the confines of the God Demon Prison, how could he bear it?
Changtian looked noticeably frustrated. She barely held back her laughter, but the corners of her mouth still curved up: "Okay."
"Stop laughing!" His face flushed slightly.
"...Okay."

They arrived early, and it was only nearly noon now. Ning Xiaoxian thought for a moment and decided to take a walk around to see the grandeur of this great sect.
With the ritual ceremony just over a day away, nearly two hundred sects had already joyfully arrived. The usually peaceful Guangcheng Palace was now bustling with comings and goings of cultivators riding on clouds, quite lively indeed. But the White Bird she was riding looked so extraordinary that it garnered a lot of attention everywhere she went.
The first thing she saw was the martial grounds of Guangcheng Palace, still a vast flatland with various figures and several small platforms, presumably for disciples to spar and compete against each other.
