Chapter 484: East Wind Divine Technique

Xu Fan decided to give his good grandson a lesson, helping him vividly and comprehensively understand where he fell short.

Li Chufan stood beside Xu Fan with his head down, feeling quite unhappy, realizing that his recent progress was trivial.

"Compared to ordinary people, you’re a genius, but next to real geniuses, you’re only slightly better."

"Compared to true prodigies, you are nothing," Xu Fan said, looking at his good grandson.

"Master Ancestor, I understand."

"I will cherish the opportunity to be by your side," Li Chufan said earnestly.

"No need to cherish it; it’s not like I’m running out of time," Xu Fan said with a smile, waving his hand.

"Being by my side mainly helps you understand the path ahead."

"Yeah, my dad also told me that," Li Chufan replied.

"Then study hard beside your Master Ancestor and strive to surpass your grandpa in the future," Xu Fan said, patting Li Chufan on the shoulder.

"Master Ancestor, how long do you think it will take for me to surpass grandpa?" Li Chufan’s eyes began to fill with determination.

"About 1500 years."

A bucket of cold water instantly extinguished the fire of ambition that had just ignited.

"Does it really take that long?"

"Calm your mind; for the inevitable result, don’t waste more energy," Xu Fan said lightly.

"Understood, Master Ancestor."

Time flew by, and before long, the disciples of Qianling Sect were about to celebrate their three-year milestone.

"Sigh, I wish I could stay at Hidden Spirit Sect for a few more years," one Void Refinement stage disciple from Qianling Sect said reluctantly.

Once he arrived at Hidden Spirit Sect, he found that the high-quality Tier 5 treasures were surprisingly cheap, and he could exchange them for a small amount of points and spirit stones.

Of course, the purchase with spirit stones was limited to five items per person, while points had no restrictions.

What excited him the most was the Dao tools; he felt that if he worked hard for a few decades, he could afford to exchange for them.

"If I could stay here for a few more decades, I could definitely exchange for the Qingyun Spiritual Sword," the Void Refinement stage disciple from Qianling Sect said, his eyes filled with desire.

"What’s the Qingyun Spiritual Sword? Isn’t the Panshi Armor even better?"

"Such a rare armor Dao tool is truly hard to come by," another Void Refinement stage body refinement disciple from Qianling Sect lamented.

"The Five Elements Dao Disk is also quite nice," another Void Refinement stage spell-user disciple said.

"Stop thinking too much; when we go back, let’s tell the sect and see if we can buy those Dao tools with spirit stones and spirit ore through the sect."

This suggestion immediately reminded the other Void Refinement stage disciples from Qianling Sect.

"Senior Brother Yunxiu’s suggestion is good. Let’s tell the elders when we return. Over the years, I’ve saved quite a bit at home; bringing it all out should be enough."

As the several Void Refinement stage disciples of Qianling Sect talked, their conversation turned to another topic.

In the demon race, Xu Gang stood atop the Steel Wall, feeling the thin spiritual energy around him, and said, "Puta, how much longer until Master’s plan is complete?"

He sensed that the density of spiritual energy here was at least half lower than when he first arrived.

"It will take three more years to completely control the spiritual energy within a radius of three hundred thousand miles," Puta replied.

"Three hundred thousand miles!?" Xu Gang couldn’t help but be amazed every time he heard this number, always in awe of his master’s capabilities.

"Will there really be no spiritual energy left by then?"

"Not entirely; the master mentioned that just enough spiritual energy will remain to sustain the basic growth of the spirit plants."

"That’s a relief; it would feel unnatural to completely deplete the spiritual energy of this region."

After sensing the sparse spiritual energy, Xu Gang gently twisted the ring on his finger.

He adjusted his spiritual energy density to level 5, and instantly, a surge of spiritual energy descended from the sky, enveloping him within a yard.

The Spirit Calling Ring was essential for anyone on a mission in the demon race.

The ring had nine levels, each corresponding to a different realm. During cultivation, one would use the level that matched their realm, and in battle, they would increase it by one level.

"With this, how can the beast race possibly compete with us?" Xu Gang remarked, looking out at the distant landscape of the demon race.

"These rings can only protect against ordinary beast warriors; they’re no match for a beast king," Spirit Cut noted, standing beside Xu Gang.

Spirit Cut held five swirling orbs of spiritual energy in his palm.

"Being able to defend against ordinary beast warriors is sufficient," Xu Gang said, observing the five orbs in Spirit Cut’s hand.

"The Five Elements Spiritual Domain is truly extraordinary," Xu Gang commented.

"Xu Gang, why not switch to the Five Elements Spiritual Domain and cultivate it with me?"

"Then we could discuss our insights into the Dao together in the future," Spirit Cut suggested with a sly smile.

He knew that Xu Fan held Xu Gang in high regard, and if he could persuade him to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Domain, then perhaps the Grand Elder would include him in his teachings as well.

"I’ve already asked my master, and he said the Great Five Elements Divine Technique is more suited to me," Xu Gang said, scratching his head.

"That makes sense; the strength of the Dao lies in the practitioner, not the practice itself," Spirit Cut agreed.

"Xu Gang, could you demonstrate the East Wind Divine Technique for me once more?"

Spirit Cut’s eyes sparkled with interest. He often visited Xu Gang’s area, partly to guard it but mainly to observe the East Wind Divine Technique.

"Spirit Cut Elder, if you wish to learn it, you should ask my master directly; you won’t grasp it just by watching me," Xu Gang replied, shaking his head.

It took him over two years to successfully perform the East Wind Divine Technique.

Initially, seeing Xu Fan cast it so effortlessly made him think it was similar to other spells that could be mastered in a month or two.

But upon trying it himself, he was astounded; the East Wind Divine Technique was exponentially more difficult than ordinary spells, and he failed to cast it over ten thousand times.

Only with his master’s meticulous guidance did he finally succeed.

"The Grand Elder won’t teach me, saying it’s not useful for me now and that there’s no time to learn such advanced techniques."

"So I want to watch you perform the East Wind Divine Technique and see if I can learn it. Even if I can’t, the Path of Fusion involved could aid my understanding of the Five Elements Spiritual Domain," Spirit Cut explained with a smile.

"If you’re keen to watch, then watch; I’ll treat it as practice."

As Xu Gang spoke, a thousand-hand illusion materialized behind him, with dozens of hands simultaneously forming seals and casting spells.

Now he could cast the technique, but he still required the assistance of the thousand-hand illusion.

As the Five Elements of Spiritual Energy gathered from the heavens and earth, a missile-shaped illusion began to form.

Spirit Cut’s eyes widened, and he focused intently on the missile as it slowly took shape.

"The Path of Fusion is indeed formidable."

It was clear that the East Wind Divine Technique didn’t demand a vast amount of spiritual energy, but the complexity of the Five Elements fusion involved was staggering.

One could say that the entire East Wind missile was a pinnacle of the Five Elements fusion technique.

As the East Wind missile fully formed, exhaust flames burst forth, propelling the East Wind missile as it roared into the distance.
