Chapter 356: Immortal Burial and Earthly Evil
The demons in this damn world are having a hard time making it. Yan Xu didn't think he could do it, so he left some life-saving items for Aimees and left. He would check on her every once in a while to see if she was still alive.
However, as the situation in the strange world became worse, he went there less and less often. He only took care of close people like Ames and left a way out for them.
Time passed quickly, and the sixth world was about to open. However, before knowing what the next world would be like, Yan Xu could not make targeted preparations. He could only practice step by step and wait for the day when it would open.
"Immortal Burial World." After reciting these four words, Yan Xu realized something and suddenly wanted to sit down. It was not because of anything else, but simply because his legs were a little weak.
He really wanted a world where he could practice cultivation, but there was really no need to give it such a high level.
They have buried all the immortals, but they can’t bury a rookie like him who is not even half-baked?
Yan Xu was silent, but after seeing the new system, his confidence returned.
"Magical power system!" Yan Xu stood up suddenly and almost laughed out loud, because he got what he had always wanted.
The system of supernatural powers is very simple, recording the 72 Earthly Fiends' magic. It can be exchanged for merits and upgraded with merits. In other words, as long as one has enough merits, becoming the Monkey King is not a dream.
Yan Xu originally thought that the incense and fire system was already invincible, but he didn't expect that the magical powers were even more powerful. Unfortunately, there were still limitations. The current magical power system could only allow him to learn the Nine Earthly Evil Techniques, and he needed to consume merits from the entry level to the advanced level.
Of course, you can also learn it by yourself. As for the difficulty, just think about how hard it is for him to practice the Lightning Thunder Fist, and you have to multiply it ten or eight times.
The most terrifying thing is that no matter whether it is upgrading the system or upgrading the supernatural powers, the requirements for merit are extremely high. He looked pale because merit is so difficult to obtain.
"Nine are enough. I can't afford more." Yan Xu said with a wry smile.
Because it was not easy to come by, Yan Xu was very cautious in how to use the merit.
This thing is not only a talisman in front of the big guys, but also the hard currency of all the heavens and worlds. How dare you use it all? So far, Yan Xu has only upgraded the Incense God to the intermediate level, and then refined two Incense Merit treasures, and kept the rest to save his life.
But now that the magical powers were right in front of him, no matter how patient Yan Xu was, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so he began to select carefully.
There is no distinction between high and low among the 72 Earthly Fiends, it's just that the upper limit is not as high as he imagined. To put it bluntly, the 72 Earthly Fiends of ordinary practitioners are completely different from the 72 Transformations of the Great Sage. If he wants to reproduce the style of the Great Sage, he must upgrade his magical power system to a high level, learn all the 72 Earthly Fiends, and integrate them into one magical power.
Even though Yan Xu is a cheater, it is impossible for him to directly bridge the gap between the two. After all, his cultivation journey has just begun, and he is still a long way from being a great sage. For now, his goal is still to reach the invincible level of Fahai.
He considered it for more than ten days. During this period, Yan Xu went to the world of the late Qing Dynasty to ask Uncle Jiu a lot of questions, and read countless ancient books.
After all, the world was once glorious in the late Qing Dynasty. According to Uncle Jiu, the 72 Earthly Fiends really existed in ancient times, but they were incomplete because many of them were lost and it was too difficult to cultivate them. Therefore, they gradually evolved into spells of various schools.
This reminded Yan Xu that the Earthly Evil Technique he had just exchanged was only an entry-level one, and it was probably not very powerful. It could only be truly effective after being upgraded, so quality was more important than quantity. Therefore, his first choice of Earthly Evil Technique was the technique of covering up the sun and concealing the secrets of heaven. Although Yan Xu could travel through the myriad worlds, it was actually the bronze door that opened a back door for him. God knows what would happen if the powerful people in the Immortal Burial World figured out his background, so concealing his identity, origin, and roots was the most important thing.
As a thousand merits were injected into it, the Sun-Covering Technique from the 72 Earthly Fiends transformed into a hazy light and merged into Yan Xu's body. Countless mysteries between heaven and earth were revealed to him, and then nothing happened.
I can't understand it, I can't figure it out, I can't comprehend it. This is Yan Xu's only feeling.
Covering the Sun can be regarded as the most mysterious and profound of the 72 Earthly Fiends. After all, it is an ordinary method to conceal the secrets of heaven, not to mention that he has not even figured out what the secrets of heaven are.
With Yan Xu's current level, even if he is not cheating, his actual realm is still one or two levels away from Uncle Jiu. And Uncle Jiu is not even qualified to be a Taoist child in the world of Journey to the West, so his idea of improving the method of concealing the sun through self-study is purely wishful thinking.
After giving up his naive idea, Yan Xu endured the pain and spent five thousand merits to upgrade Yanri to minor success, which almost made him die of heartache.
Just to get started with the Earthly Evil Technique one needs one thousand merits, five thousand for a minor level, and ten thousand for a major level. This is just one Earthly Evil Technique. Just thinking about the merits required for the seventy-two Earthly Evil Techniques, Yan Xu felt a little weak in the knees. If all the merits consumed were added together, he was afraid that he would be able to become an immortal.
After feeling heartbroken for a long time, Yan Xu became more cautious in choosing the next Earthly Evil Technique.
After concealing his origins, Yan Xu naturally chose the method of cultivation. After all, this is the basis of immortality.
Unfortunately, there is no great celestial art among the 72 Earthly Fiends, only corpse transformation, guiding, taking medicine, and pill concentration.
Corpse transformation follows the path of ghost immortals. Although it is eerie, it is a serious Taoist practice. It just requires abandoning the physical body and the process is a bit creepy, so Yan Xu gave up on it directly because instead of choosing this, he might as well follow the path of incense and gods.
Daoyin is similar to the internal power in martial arts, but it focuses on benefiting people and prolonging life. It is related to regulating qi, making blood flow smoothly and eliminating all diseases. It is a technique for prolonging life. However, this technique is not conducive to killing enemies and protecting oneself, and it is easy to be beaten to death, so it is used as a backup.
By taking it, the essence of Yi wood is collected to make elixirs and swallowed, in order to achieve immortality, cure all diseases or detoxify.
To put it simply, it means refining elixirs and eating them to become immortal. It seems simple, but in fact, without enough luck and opportunity, don't even think about it.
It is difficult enough to pick the magical herbs that can be used to refine elixirs, let alone to refine them. It requires the right time, place and people. And even if you refine them, it is not the end. You still have to take them safely. Otherwise, if you are unlucky, someone will intercept you halfway.
Nong Wan is the path to the Golden Elixir, which is the way to become an earthly immortal, but it is very consistent with Yan Xu's impression of cultivating immortals in his previous life, that is, forming a golden elixir, so he finally decided to choose Nong Wan as the second earthly evil technique.
After spending a lot of merit to get started with Nong Wan, Yan Xu's internal energy and blood suddenly retracted without any warning, and were completely absorbed by his dantian which turned into a black hole without any control. He, who was originally strong and had bright eyes, suddenly became skin and bones, with dull eyes, like a walking corpse.
