Yinshan Record

Chapter 645 A Boat Straight into the Desolate Land (Part 1)

Su Che focused on his cultivation, not even lingering at the grand scene of the Floating Cloud Ferry in Tingchao City, and directly boarded the Star Raft of the Su Nu Dao.

The so-called Floating Cloud Ferry is a ferry crossing where cloud boats and star rafts are moored. Because it is built at a high place and is adjacent to the floating clouds, it is called Floating Cloud Ferry.

The Floating Cloud Ferry in Tingchao City is divided into two types: freight and pedestrian. Each type is located on a mountainside, and there is a constant flow of people and merchants. However, with the Su Nu Dao's carriage leading the way, it is quick to reach the foot of the Star Chariot.

The shape of a typical star raft is slightly different from that of a cloud boat, but in terms of size, it is actually much smaller than a cloud boat.

According to Si Xiang's explanation, this is because the Star Chariot needs to break through the Nine Heavens, which is a laborious task that requires a lot of effort and cannot be accomplished without the presence of a Void Step cultivator.

If it were to be made on a larger scale, even a cultivator at the Void Step stage wouldn't be able to do it; it would require a True Immortal or even a cultivator of higher cultivation level.

It's extremely difficult to find someone of that caliber to be a coachman.

Therefore, most of the star rafts in this realm are guarded by cultivators with the Void Step cultivation level, and they are not very large in size.

Su Che went directly into the purification room, while Si Xiang accompanied him throughout.

Only after asking did I learn that Su Nu Dao had arranged for three other Void-Stepping Masters on the Star Chariot to escort Su Che to the Seventy-Two Kingdoms.

If it weren't for the fear that having the Immortal of Longevity oversee things would attract attention from other parties, the Su Nu Dao would have directly sent the Immortal of Longevity to oversee things.

This time, the Star Chariot was arranged with nine heavenly pillars, but Su Che did not have the same interest in observing and comprehending it as he had when he ascended to the outer realm with Yu Lizi.

At this moment, Young Master Su is pondering a very important question.

That is, what is the current state of one's own Dao foundation?

According to the common understanding of the Xuanmen school, the so-called Dao foundation is the fundamental basis for carrying the innate spiritual seed.

However, due to the manipulation of the Yin-Yang Dharma King, his own Dao Foundation was different from that of ordinary people. It had an extra seed of innate spiritual root Ruomu, which took root, sprouted, and merged with his own Dao Foundation.

This creates a very tricky situation.

The purpose of the Dao Foundation is to solidify the innate spiritual seed, preventing its innate fundamental energy from being lost, while also allowing it to absorb external spiritual energy to replenish and strengthen the innate spiritual seed.

The various methods and supernatural powers practiced by spiritual practitioners, when combined, form the foundation of this path.

For example, the "Secret Manual of Yin Heaven of Zhou" can be used to extract the essence of the moon and strengthen the soul, replenish the foundation, which is the basis for Su Che's enlightenment.

However, because of the presence of an innate Ruomu spiritual root in the Dao foundation, some other changes occurred.

Because Ruomu is an innate spiritual root of life and death, it is inherently in harmony with the Great Dao. What cultivators pursue is simply readily available to Ruomu.

Furthermore, this innate spiritual root of life and death is unique and can nourish and nurture all kinds of Yin spirits. With such a great god in Su Che's Dao foundation, it directly gives the impression that the guest is stronger than the host.

The "cardinal" that was originally faintly fixed in one point, now soothed by the Ruomu tree, is somewhat like a subordinate spirit.

However, Ruomu, who was originally considered an outsider, is now connected with his own cardinal and seems to have the potential to become the master.

For Su Che now, the so-called "loss of fundamental vital energy" is no longer a problem. With the great god Ruomu presiding over the Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Scroll, no innate energy will leak out.

From this perspective, relying solely on Ruomu, Young Master Su's lifespan naturally becomes infinitely long. Even in death, he will remain an old ghost under Ruomu's protection.

But this is also where the trouble lies. Su Che's Dao foundation can no longer stabilize the innate spiritual seed, so he can only continue to work around Ruomu.

However, how could the innate spiritual roots of heaven and earth be bound by these lower-level laws?

Therefore, Su Che's current situation is that he has no problem establishing the core of his power, but forming the elixir is almost impossible. This is because forming the elixir now would be tantamount to going against Ruomu, whose innate spiritual root is already connected with his own.

After a while, Su Che became like some kind of mysterious tree spirit. He only needed to take good care of this innate spiritual root and not think about anything else, because thinking about it wouldn't make any difference.

If we really want to continue down this path, then the only way is to isolate Ruomu from the core of our own essence and spirit...

How easy is that?

Su Che's head was throbbing from thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it and emptied his mind, slowly exhaling and resting.

The advantage of "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Mi Lu" lies here: this method is one of the few ghost cultivation methods in Huang Tian Dao. In other words, the cultivation of the true form and body is relatively late, and it mainly focuses on strengthening the soul.

Therefore, the requirements for utilizing the various spiritual energies between heaven and earth are simple, requiring only the power of the Taiyin Moon Essence. And this Moon Essence, Young Master Su has enough stored up in his own possession, so he doesn't need to search for suitable spiritual veins like other cultivators.

The star raft broke through the nine heavenly barriers and then accelerated, speeding towards the seventy-two kingdoms.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Che could feel the speed of the star raft gradually decreasing, and the clean room where he cultivated was carefully opened by Miss Si Xiang.

"Mr. Zuo, we have arrived at the surface of Wushi City. Wushi City is considered a large city among the Seventy-Two Kingdoms, with many cultivators. However, there is no ferry like Floating Cloud Ferry for our star raft to dock."

Sixiang led Su Che onto the deck of the starship and said somewhat awkwardly, "In order to avoid attracting attention and causing you any other trouble, we had to land in mid-air."

On the deck, three Void Step experts dressed in black stood side by side. They were both men and women. When they saw Si Xiang leading Su Che up, they all bowed to him.

"Greetings, Holy Envoy."

Sixiang returned the greeting to the three of them.

"Mr. Zuo, Sixiang will take you downstairs now."

As he spoke, the incense master grabbed Su Che with his arm and lifted him down from mid-air.

The wind howled past Su Che's ears as this Void Step expert flew away at full speed, a feat truly incomparable to the Core Formation Realm.

Su Che truly felt the huge difference at this moment. Compared to Si Xiang's speed, his own speed could not be called flying; it could only be described as leisurely strolling in the sky.

"The land of the Seventy-Two Kingdoms is close to the northern wilderness of the Western Kingdom, and there are many cultivators there, but their quality varies. Mr. Zuo should still be careful."

Having grown accustomed to the warmth and comfort of soft, warm women, the Third Young Master Su found it somewhat strange to be held in someone else's arms.

"Especially around this Wushi City, there are many ghosts. Sixiang doesn't know why Mr. Zuo came here, but we must be extra careful."

As they spoke, the two of them landed lightly on the ground.

Su Che looked at the star raft above his head, which was still hanging high in the sky and could be vaguely seen. This person had actually sent him down directly from the bottom of the Ninth Heaven.

"Mr. Zuo."

Si Xiang bowed gracefully and said, "Please take care."

As she spoke, she directly rode away in the light of escape.

It was truly a high-profile arrival and departure, leaving Su Che standing below in a daze.

That's it? Where am I supposed to find the Yin-Yang Dharma King and the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor?
