Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 10 The Foundation of the Purple Mansion
Ziyuan recounted all the information she knew.

Upon hearing this, Di Yi couldn't help but become curious about this so-called Nine Revolutions Refining God Technique.

"I once heard a Nascent Soul Half-Saint say that spiritual cultivation and martial arts cultivation have similarities. Martial arts cultivators try every means to open up meridians, temper their physical bodies, and purify their true qi to lay a solid foundation for future cultivation."

“The same applies to spiritual cultivators, only the methods of building their foundation are different. I imagine the Nine Revolutions Refining Spirit Technique is one of them.”

Ziyuan was a martial arts cultivator and didn't know much about spiritual cultivation. She only said, "I heard that as long as you probe a wisp of spiritual energy into the Refining God Stele, you can obtain the Nine Revolutions Refining God Technique inside. Why don't you give it a try, young master?"

Di Yi's martial arts talent goes without saying, he has the appearance of a dragon and phoenix, but Zi Yuan is quite curious about his spiritual talent.

The fact that Di Yi possessed a spiritual power of level twenty-nine without ever cultivating inspired endless imagination in her, making her feel that it was only natural for her young master to surpass the red-tears girl from the Ye family.

"Is it that simple?"

With a hint of anticipation, Di Yi released a wisp of spiritual energy to contact the stone tablet in front of him. In just an instant, a cultivation method appeared out of thin air in his mind.

"The methods of a sage are truly miraculous."

He sighed inwardly and carefully pondered the method in his mind, discovering that it seemed to be quite easy to practice.

"According to the description of this Nine Revolutions Refining Spirit Technique, as long as one practices to the sixth revolution, one can reach the level of 'thoughts follow the mind as easily as the arm,' which can increase the utilization of spiritual power several times over. This coincides with what I am seeking now."

Overjoyed, Di Yi couldn't wait to try it out.

As one of the Seven Star Halls, the Wenqu Hall naturally has a large number of places for cultivation, and it has unique features for cultivating spiritual power, surpassing even the quiet room in Emperor Yi's mansion.

He found a quiet cultivation room nearby, had Ziyuan wait outside, and then stepped inside, activated the formation, and immediately began to cultivate.

The meditation room contains a calming array set up by a master array master, which, together with special incense, allows the practitioner inside to quickly enter a meditative state and clear their mind of distractions.

Emperor Yi sat cross-legged, his breathing was steady and powerful, his eyes were closed, and his consciousness had already explored his own sea of ​​consciousness.

The sea of ​​consciousness is located deep within the brain and is very mysterious. Spiritual power is born from this place. Although it only occupies a small area of ​​the brain, what the consciousness sees at this moment is boundless and vast, like a void world.

Before a cultivator's spiritual power reaches level fifty, all their spiritual power is stored in their sea of ​​consciousness. Only when they reach level fifty do powerful spiritual thoughts burst out of their sea of ​​consciousness, flow into their heart, and transform into a sacred heart, thereby becoming a spiritual saint.

The Nine Revolutions Refining Spirit Technique is a rather profound method for building a foundation of spiritual power. It has an extraordinary origin, and even if one succeeds in nine revolutions, it will not increase the level of spiritual power. It is specifically designed to shape a solid foundation.

Therefore, this method is not complicated and can be learned very quickly. Di Yi mastered the secret after only a few simple attempts. In a short while, a golden vortex appeared in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

The vortex was made of spiritual energy, yet it absorbed the remaining spiritual energy around it, forming a special and subtle cycle.

Sensing the subtle changes in his spiritual energy within his sea of ​​consciousness, Di Yi understood the underlying principle.

By constructing a vortex with mental energy and then introducing other mental energy into it, one can refine mental energy through the mental energy itself. This process can both eliminate the dross and retain the essence, and also improve one's control over mental energy.

Although it looks simple, the simpler it is, the more it shows how genius the predecessor who created this method was.

Once the golden vortex was formed, it meant that he had mastered the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Refining God Technique.

The so-called Nine Revolutions is actually the condensation of nine spiritual energy vortexes in the sea of ​​consciousness. The nine vortexes are arranged vertically and interconnected, like nine sieves or nine forging workshops, which temper the spiritual energy passing through them.

Having successfully completed the first transformation, Di Yi briefly assessed his abilities and discovered that his control over his mental power had indeed improved, which filled him with joy. He then attempted to condense a second vortex in his sea of ​​consciousness, and after about half an hour, he succeeded as well.

The first two stages of the Nine Revolutions Refining God Technique are not very difficult. Half of the disciples of the First-Rank Hall in the Wenqu Palace who have practiced it can achieve it. However, starting from the third stage, the difficulty increases sharply, and less than one-tenth of them can complete it.

The more vortexes there are, the more difficult it becomes to condense, and the more significant the effects become.

Emperor Yi's spiritual power reached the 29th level, with profound foundation and a will far stronger than that of ordinary people. In less than half a day, he successfully condensed four vortexes in his sea of ​​consciousness. The originally empty and dark sea of ​​consciousness turned completely golden, and his control over his own spiritual power was greatly improved.

His consciousness gazed at the golden ocean before him and discovered a deeper level of change in his sea of ​​consciousness. After strands of spiritual energy passed through the four vortexes, they did not simply become more refined; there was also something intangible accumulating in his sea of ​​consciousness.

It is the fundamental principle of spiritual power.

Mental cultivation, like martial arts, is clearly divided into levels, with a total of one hundred stages, encompassing both ordinary people and legendary figures who have surpassed all others throughout history.

However, while there is a supreme realm among the four realms of martial arts, spiritual power seems much more ethereal and mysterious. In addition to the innate level of geniuses, each school has its own different system for classifying geniuses.

Confucian and Taoist cultivators cultivate a righteous spirit; the Inscription Masters Guild focuses on inscribing various inscriptions; and the ancient corpse-driving and ghost-raising clans of the Southern Region place greater emphasis on the compatibility between spiritual power and the Yin energy of corpses and ghosts...

In short, people from all walks of life in the Kunlun Realm have their own understanding of the cultivation of spiritual power, which varies greatly and is not unified.

The Nine Revolutions Refining Spirit Technique originates from the Illusionary Saint lineage, and naturally has a different understanding of spiritual cultivation, emphasizing the tenacity of spiritual power and willpower.

After all, if a practitioner of illusion magic is not strong enough in terms of mental strength and will, they will fall into the illusion before they can even confuse their enemies.

According to the Nine Revolutions Refining God Technique, the Illusion Saint lineage divides the talent for spiritual power into four levels: Gray Pool, Silver Lake, Golden Sea, and Purple Mansion.

Among spiritual cultivators in the world, eight or nine out of ten possess talents that are merely at the level of a gray pool, a pool of gray water with no living water flowing in, confined to a small area, making it difficult to achieve anything.

The Silver Lake, one level above, is a promising talent. With the guidance of a good teacher, reaching the fortieth level would not be a problem. If given the right opportunity, becoming a saint is not impossible.

Upon reaching the Golden Sea, one becomes a true genius, even rarer than an ordinary holy body. With a little nurturing, there is a high chance that one will become a spiritual saint in the future.

As for the highest level, the Purple Mansion, in the vast Kunlun Realm, it is rare to find even one person there in thousands of years.

The Illusion Saint is skilled in illusion techniques and is known as the number one illusionist in the Kunlun Realm. However, eight hundred years ago, there was another senior master who cultivated illusion techniques to an unparalleled level.

In the present Kunlun Realm, Empress Chi Yao shines like the sun high in the sky, and the First Central Empire dominates the Five Domains. Whether it's the black market or the evil path, the demonic path or the righteous path, they are all being suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe. No one in the entire Kunlun Realm can contend with Empress Chi Yao and the First Central Empire.

Eight hundred years ago, however, it was an era of fierce competition among warlords, led by nine emperors and three empresses.

The nine emperors and three empresses were all emperors in the Holy Path, and their cultivation reached the level of Great Saint. The nine emperors were male and the three empresses were female.

Among the three queens, one was known as the Illusion Queen, who achieved the Great Sage of Spiritual Power through the Way of Illusion, and was the first person in the Kunlun Realm to master the art of illusion in ten thousand years.

The Illusion Saint in the black market today is said to be the successor of the Illusion Queen, and her youngest disciple.

In the last ten thousand years, only the Illusion Queen has successfully forged the foundation of the Purple Mansion using the Nine Revolutions Refining God Technique.
