Chapter 3 The Supreme Response Method
The "Supreme Response Method" was something he borrowed from the Demon Sect's Scripture Pavilion in his previous life when he was in the late Golden Core stage, at a cost of a huge amount of contribution points.
This technique has an extraordinary origin.
It is not the orthodox path, and it differs from traditional demonic arts. Its most prominent feature is that it focuses on cultivating consciousness and the soul.
"Cultivators who practice this method have a far greater range of divine sense coverage than other cultivators of the same level, and the strength of their divine sense is also incomparable to that of other cultivators of the same level."
"One can cultivate divine consciousness in the early stages of Qi cultivation."
"Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the range of one's divine sense is already three times that of other cultivators of the same level."
"The advantage is even greater in the Golden Core stage, with the range of divine sense increasing by five times and the intensity of divine sense also increasing by three to five times."
"Perfect for looting trash."
"After all, only by seeing far and clearly can we discover more opportunities and avoid more dangers."
This method also has other advantages.
Especially in terms of the soul, it also enhances the soul several times over.
By cultivating other demonic techniques as a supplement, one can create many strange and wondrous methods that are bizarre, dangerous, and extremely difficult to kill.
"The only drawback is..."
"Compared to other cultivation techniques of the same level, this method is slightly weaker in direct combat."
"But it's not a big deal; it can be supplemented by other demonic sect techniques."
"I'll choose this one."
Ji Yun closed his eyes and concentrated, searching through the entire text of "The Method of Response and Retribution" from the depths of his mind, word by word.
His experiences in the Demonic Sect in his past life taught him a profound lesson:
Those who are powerful in combat are not necessarily long-lived.
No matter how strong your fighting skills are, you can't defeat the unpredictability of human hearts, let alone sneak attacks and conspiracies.
In the Night Sea, where resources are scarce at the bottom and monopolized by those above, one must fight to climb up.
But even in competition, there are advances and retreats.
There is also a difference between light and dark.
Of course he will fight for it in this life.
But fighting in the shadows, hiding your true intentions, is naturally safer than fighting openly.
In addition, his aptitude was relatively poor in this life, but by practicing the "Taishang Ganying Fa" (a method of spiritual response), he was able to circumvent this shortcoming.
First, secure the resources.
Manage the Sky Island well.
Then give back to the qualifications.
In this way, one can go far on this long journey to immortality.
……
Seven days later.
Ji Yun slowly finished his practice, went out to the fields, made a hand seal to cast the Cloud and Rain Technique, and summoned a misty fog to shroud the fields.
The yam has already sprouted from the soil, with tiny new shoots emerging, radiating vibrant green life.
A thought crossed my mind.
A wisp of invisible and intangible divine consciousness probed outwards from between the eyebrows.
He has abandoned his original inferior cultivation method and switched to practicing the "Supreme Response Method," and has successfully entered the first stage.
This wisp of divine consciousness is rather small, and for the time being, it can only cover a meter around the body.
But that's already quite rare.
Normally, cultivators can only gain divine sense after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
Divine sense has many wonderful uses; it can also be used to explore dangerous places.
"But this Supreme Induction Method is even more bizarre than I imagined."
"Perhaps it's because these two cultivation worlds are different that this top-tier cultivation technique has encountered some problems."
"In the previous life, this method required sensing the 'Supreme One' and visualizing its true form in order to cultivate consciousness and spirit."
"But in this life, there are no Supreme Beings in this cultivation world. I can only sense myself, but the effect is the same..."
Ji Yun couldn't figure out the reason for the time being.
In his previous life, his Golden Core cultivation was quite high, but when it came to comprehending the Great Dao, he had only just begun to grasp the basics.
However, this change is for the better.
The Supreme Being is an extremely mysterious image; a hundred people will see a hundred different forms of it, some seeing nine heads, others seeing a thousand eyes.
In his previous life, when he was comprehending his true nature, he had a vague illusion that he would be assimilated by the "Supreme One" and transformed into a cultivation body devoid of emotion and desire.
It's just that his cultivation level is too low.
We haven't reached that threshold yet.
In this life, there is no "Supreme One" in the world, or rather, he is the only "Supreme One" in this world.
He saw himself.
However, this way there are no worries, and one can cultivate with peace of mind.
……
Three days later.
Ji Yun put the spirit stones back into his storage bag. All three spirit stones were completely drained, and not a single one could be squeezed out.
"The spiritual energy has been exhausted."
"It's time to go find some spiritual energy."
He walked out of the main room.
Look up at the sky.
The outside world was completely dark; the layers of pumice completely blocked out the light, making it impossible to see the upper level.
The first floor of the night sea is sparsely populated.
Although it can evade pursuit, the spiritual energy is scarce, and if one wants to cultivate, one still needs to advance to a higher level.
"Let's bring the island to the surface."
"Let's go to the second floor of Night Sea first."
"The array on this island has been destroyed, but fortunately, there is still one left on the previous floating island, which can be dismantled."
The local cultivators were born and raised in the Night Sea, and created many unique formations specific to the Night Sea.
Floating island formations are one example.
By setting up this formation on the floating island, one can take the island on a journey and explore the night sea.
Storage bags at the bottom are scarce, as spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, and various large immortal materials cannot be taken away in them.
Once you leave the island.
The house could be taken advantage of by thieves, and the entire house could be destroyed.
When they returned, their own floating island had long been taken away by someone, and even if they found it, it was just an empty shell.
Sky Island is the foundation upon which Night Sea cultivators establish their careers, and it cannot be easily lost.
Thus, some cultivators created formations that allowed them to take the island with them wherever they went.
Ji Yun got up and returned to the previous island, dismantled the formation, and brought it back to the new island.
He set up the array flags and array plates one by one, and poured spiritual power into the array.
They made hand seals to initiate the battle.
呲.
Air currents surged around the sky island.
The island trembled slightly and slowly rose upwards.
"Indeed, humans are the most intelligent of all beings."
Even the most extreme conditions can create endless possibilities.
Ji Yun sat on the edge of the floating island watching this scene, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In my memory, there was an advanced array in the upper layer of the Night Sea that allowed the floating islands to move rapidly, just like the flying boats of my previous life.
Some people even refined the islands into magical artifacts and used them as weapons of war.
There are also some treasure islands that possess their own spiritual veins, rare immortal materials, ancient cultivators' cave dwellings, and ancient sect ruins.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level is still shallow.
Those are still too far away.
……
Twelve hours later.
The sky island is still slowly rising.
The sea was pitch black at night, and Ji Yun had to constantly control the formation, expending a lot of effort as he carefully navigated through the scattered rocks.
At first, I found it novel.
Now I am completely numb.
The level of this floating island array is too low, causing the islands to rise too slowly.
They might not even be as fast as him.
"The concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area has changed. Although it is still thin, it is barely enough for cultivation."
Ji Yun focused his mind and sensed for a moment, then formed a hand seal and channeled his energy, drawing in a wisp of spiritual energy.
Based on past experience.
He had now entered the second level of the Night Sea.
The second level of the Night Sea is inhabited by a large number of mortals, and there are also quite a few cultivators. It is the most populated level among the three lower levels.
Look up.
In the pitch-black sea, twinkling lights, like stars, some bright and some dim, were scattered in all directions, adorning the horizon.
A floating island that dares to be guided by a beacon in the night sea is naturally not afraid of being disturbed by outsiders.
Most of them are market islands frequented by cultivators, gathering places for mortals protected by upper-level cultivators, or mining islands controlled by the upper echelons.
"Let's stop here."
"Cultivate for a period of time."
Ji Yun manipulated the formation, causing the floating island to hover in front of a rocky area that resembled a nest, before slowly disappearing into the depths.
Wait for the sky island to come to a stop.
He rubbed his temples, feeling utterly exhausted.
The long journey of more than ten hours not only exhausted his energy, but also nearly depleted his spiritual energy.
However, there were some gains as well.
While cooking, he discovered an unclaimed floating island.
After exploring the island, they found a few sturdy wooden planks in a corner and finally managed to repair their broken door.
It sounds a bit ridiculous.
It is a kind of mental tempering.
"Regardless of my cultivation level in my past life, I am now just a minor cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining. I must recognize my limitations."
"You can fix the door."
"That's a gain in itself."
Ji Yun sighed softly.
He got up and went to the kitchen, lit the bamboo charcoal, took out a handful of spirit rice from his storage bag, put it in the pot, added water and cooked it.
While waiting for the rice to ripen.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, making the most of his spiritual energy.
Given the concentration of spiritual energy in the second layer of the Night Sea, it would take a cultivator five days and five nights to replenish their Qi Sea without relying on external objects.
Spirit rice has many benefits, allowing cultivators to quickly replenish their spiritual energy, and it is especially effective in places where spiritual energy is scarce.
Unfortunately, he only had three cans.
Moreover, it is impossible to plant seeds.
……
Not long after.
The rice in the pot wasn't cooked yet.
Ji Yun suddenly opened his eyes, stared outside the house, and released his divine sense at the same time.
He heard several noises.
The sound was extremely faint and came from afar, but he was certain he hadn't misheard.
He appears to be a monk.
It is approaching its own empty island.
