The Wandering Immortal

Chapter 73 Forbidden Soul Technique
After dealing with the magical artifacts of the Laoshan cultivators, Jiang Yuan began to cultivate several spells.

First, there is a soul technique that blocks the calculation of cause and effect. This is a forbidden method originating from Tianlong Star. Only those who have reached the Golden Core Realm and opened their divine sense space can barely cultivate it. If one cultivates it successfully, no cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage can calculate cause and effect.

Of course, it was impossible to stop a Golden Immortal from calculating; Venus was always a thorn in Jiang Yuan's side. Little did he know that Venus had stayed at Mount Ling in the Western Paradise for another seven days before finally embarking on the star shuttle returning to the Heavenly Court.

With all the acupoints of the Yin Water Meridian of Jiangyuan fully opened, ice magic has reached a level of complete mastery. Many acupoints of the Yang Water Meridian have also been opened, so naturally, it cannot be limited to methods such as freezing and ice spikes.

In order to improve his recovery ability by cultivating "All Things Grow", he opened up the Jia Wood Spiritual Vein. He can guide Qinghe in wood-type spells, and naturally he can use most wood-type spells. However, unlike Qinghe, he does not have wind-type supernatural powers to support him, so wood-type spells have little future.

Once Jiang Yuan opens one fire-elemental and one metal-elemental spiritual vein, he can cultivate lightning techniques. The metal element is merely a catalyst; he doesn't need to open many acupoints. The strength of his lightning techniques is determined by the number of fire-elemental acupoints he can open.

Thunder magic is the most powerful of all spells, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate. One must start from the early Golden Core stage and reach the Nascent Soul stage before its true power is revealed.

Neither forbidden techniques of the soul nor thunder magic can be mastered in a day, but it requires the corresponding preparations and ensuring that one hour of practice is done every day. Only through accumulation over time can one see the results.

Jiang Yuan was thinking about the level seven Tiger Shark King outside the Spirit Gathering Array. Now that he had the Red Thread available, he felt that there was no major problem. However, he still needed a powerful magic weapon, otherwise he would not be able to break through the defenses of a level seven demon beast.

Wan Haiming's flying sword was quite good. Jiang Yuan didn't like using swords, but he was attracted by its sharpness, which was infused with the essence of gold. So he spent many days hammering the flying sword and reforging it into an Emei dagger.

Shen Wangzhi shook his head upon seeing it, "Such a fine flying sword, and my brother actually destroyed it."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's always best to be comfortable and at ease with things you use yourself."

Jiang Yuan had refined several Emei daggers before setting sail, but he had never been able to use them. Now that he had a good one, those daggers had been turned back into materials.

Knowing that Shen Wangzhi was itching to practice his swordsmanship but had no one to help him hone his skills, Jiang Yuan also wanted to test the killing power of the new Emei daggers. So the two went to the island to spar, with Cui Qinghe watching from the sidelines.

Cui Qinghe has been tortured by Jiang Yuan countless times, so it's unknown how many moves Shen Wangzhi can withstand from Jiang Yuan.

Shen Wangzhi's flying sword was still fiery red, which was related to the materials he originally used. When he flew on the sword, he would leave a trail of flames that was more than ten feet long, which was quite beautiful.

Jiang Yuan's Emei daggers can also travel long distances like flying swords, arriving silently and instantly, seemingly even faster than flying swords.

The two Golden Core cultivators also transformed into streaks of light and flew through the air. As the battle intensified, it became impossible to distinguish between the people and their swords.

Later, it was not just swordsmanship, but also talismans and spells, with fireballs colliding with ice crystals.

After fighting for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Shen Wangzhi had already realized that Jiang Yuan was not using his full strength, but was feeding him moves, inducing him to use all his methods.

"My dear brother, you must not hold back, otherwise I will hardly make any progress!"

"It's just a friendly spar, and besides, I've only just begun to learn sword control."

Jiang Yuan made a judgment: Shen Wangzhi was indeed a seasoned veteran with a lot of practical experience. Jiang Yuan was also a newcomer to swordsmanship, so his performance was quite good.

They fought for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until both of them had almost exhausted their magical power, and then they stopped. Thus, it became a routine for them to spar and fight for half an hour every day.

Cui Qinghe also sparred with Shen Wangzhi a few times, but felt that she still struggled against sword cultivators.

Shen Wangzhi was helpless against the petals flying everywhere; they interfered with his vision, blocked his divine sense, and he had to hold his breath to avoid the poison.

Having witnessed the power of the Green Fox Bow firsthand, Shen Wangzhi knew he couldn't withstand it. To break that move, he would have to fight it in close combat. However, Cui Qinghe's close combat skills were by no means weak. She could easily throw out wooden spikes, thorns, and red lotuses.

When Cui Qinghe retreated, Shen Wangzhi didn't dare to chase after her. After all, the red lotus could stay in the air for five breaths and could explode at any time under Cui Qinghe's control, which was very troublesome.

After a few attempts, Shen Wangzhi felt that Cui Qinghe seemed more difficult to deal with, but then he realized that it was just his imagination. He could only put up a fight with Cui Qinghe; he had the ability to hurt her. Guan Canghai, on the other hand, was more like a master teaching a disciple, handling things with ease, which was why he didn't feel much pressure.

It wasn't until he watched Guan Canghai and Cui Qinghe sparring that Shen Wangzhi understood why they looked down on the inheritance of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Both of them could project true energy from a distance, and their bodies could also be surrounded by protective shield-like energy. When their fists and feet came into contact, they could produce explosive sounds.

Taoist cultivators rarely specialize in physical techniques; they mostly use spells and magical artifacts to fight. Such physical fighting styles are rare, and spells can be used at any time. The moment the two make contact, they often have ice crystals, wooden spikes, thorns, shields, or similar items in their hands, which are almost always released instantly and change too quickly.

Shen Wangzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought it was impossible to keep the couple with him to help him establish his own sect.

After three months of seclusion, Liu Caiwei finally achieved the celestial phenomenon of Core Formation. This phenomenon was also peculiar. In addition to the gathering of thunderclouds in the sky, the seawater around the main island, which initially had no wind, began to rise and eventually turned into a tsunami. The seawater rose by a foot in the air, with the momentum to submerge the entire island.

Shen Wangzhi was overjoyed; the Azure Sea Tide was indeed a very powerful technique.

When Liu Caiwei emerged from seclusion, a banquet was naturally held to celebrate.

During the meal, the topic naturally turned to future plans. Jiang Yuan made no secret of the fact that if Brother Shen wanted to establish his own sect, his wife and he would certainly offer their full support, but they did not wish to remain within any sect in the future. They were simply too used to being free and undisciplined, and it would also cause some trouble, so they did not want to implicate Brother Shen's sect.

Establishing a sect in China will inevitably require returning to the Central Plains. My wife and I will find a way to resolve the conflict with the Laoshan Daoist sect, and we will certainly not implicate Brother Shen. Otherwise, it would be impossible to establish a sect in the Central Plains.

Shen Wangzhi also knew that what Jiang Yuan said was true. If the problem of Laoshan could not be solved, two Golden Core cultivators would not survive a day if they tried to establish a sect.

It's too early to start a new school of thought; we should first consider how to establish a foothold in the Central Plains.

Shen Wangzhi believed that Maoshan had no value anymore. The few remaining late-stage Golden Core elders were all stubborn and pedantic, lacking any ability or determination to revitalize the sect.

The Qingyun Sect has even less redeeming qualities. It has only a couple hundred members, with the highest cultivation level being only at the late Golden Core stage. Moreover, they are jealous of talent and sycophantic towards outsiders, while being harsh on their own. They will perish sooner or later.

For the four of them, the most important thing at this moment is to improve their cultivation. If they can encounter some children with good spiritual roots, they can take them as disciples even if they are rogue cultivators. After all, major sects have long become powerful clans, and many promising talents for cultivation have been buried in the outer sect of Mount Luofu.

Jiang Yuan naturally thought of Liu Haichan, who followed the Blind Man. He was now over thirty years old, and he wondered what his cultivation level was.
