461 Cultivation Mysteries (1/2)
When he awoke, Feng Lin discovered that it was unknown when he had floated up in the sky.
Spiritual qi formed a vortex, resembling a tornado that lifted him into the air.
A concentrated aura was emitted from him, causing ripples to form in the atmosphere.
He glanced at the time and discovered that for this bout of cultivation, he had unknowingly entered seclusion for about a month. He hadn't sensed any changes to his body at all.
For this point, it was completely different when compared to mythological gene cultivation which emphasized strengthening the mythological genes in one's body.
For ancient cultivators, they cultivated the cycles of energy within their bodies, matching it with the cycles of heavens and earth. They were able to breathe in the formless spiritual qi to replenish their energy consumption and enter a type of state where they could abstain from food.
When abandoning the need for food and losing the desire to eat, it was easier for humans to ignore the flow of time. They were ignorant of the flow of time.
During the month's seclusion, Feng Lin immersed himself completely in his cultivation. With Sun Wukong's cultivation experience, his cultivation of the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art was extremely smooth. He directly entered the late-phase of transforming energy into qi. Right now, the amount of true origin energy he had could be considered quite a lot as well.
Feng Lin detailedly sensed the difference between true origin energy and genetic force.
Compared to genetic force that came in a multitude of forms and attributes, true origin energy had no additional properties. It was simply something formed from the combination of vitality force and spiritual qi.
Hence, true origin energy by itself wasn't considered extremely powerful.
If one wanted the true origin energy to fully unleash its might, they had to use methods such as magical spells.
Through spells, curses, hand seals, and runes, one could use true origin energy to drive them and cause the nature of the energy to change. From there on, the user could control wind, water, thunder and the other types of heavenly might.
As for genetic force, it was considered an innate transcendent force. Once a user awakened it, they usually had control over the particular genetic force by instinct.
The differences between true origin energy and genetic force were similar to the mythologies and legends in western mythology, between warlocks and wizards.
One depended on his innate talent to excavate the deepest level of his life energy. The other independently analyzed the true nature and mysteries of the universe, deriving ways to transform himself.
One was an awakening, the other was learning.
There was no good or bad between the two. They were simply two different paths.
The ancient cultivation path was a process where one had to learn continuously and temper oneself constantly.
Currently, Feng Lin could be considered to have some minor accomplishments in his cultivation of the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art. He managed to amass some true origin energy but if he wanted to use it and unleash its true potential, he still needed to learn magical spells.
A portion of the Grand-grade Heavenly Immortal Art was about the supreme magical spells. Other than the ancient cultivation method, it also included complimentary magical spells along with it.
Feng Lin closed his eyes and meditated. The information of all the magical spells flashed through his mind. Curses, spells, hand seals, true origin energy circulation technique...he memorized all of them.
At the next instant, he abruptly opened his eyes. A red light flashed in his eyes resembling the burning of flames.
Nine Fire Spell!
”The sun of Heaven and Earth transforms into true fire. The burning flames nurture the dragon. Obey my orders!...”
His hands performed an intricate set of movements resembling butterflies weaving through the flowers as he chanted words that radiated an ancient air. The spiritual qi in the surroundings instantly gushed over in torrents.
With a flick of his finger, the strands of spiritual qi weaved around, gradually forming the shape of a sphere and becoming corporeal.
Within it, seeds of fire could be seen flickering; they were like living objects.
Ang, ang, ang!
The roars of dragons could be heard within.
Feng Lin frenziedly channeled true origin energy into it. At the next instant, the seeds of fire that resembled a sphere exploded, and a total of nine fire dragons shot out from within. They had deer antlers, dragon beard, scales, the bodies resembling snakes...all the details of their form was extremely clear, like they were true creatures.
The moment the fire dragons appeared, they began to let out cries of joy and fly in circles in the air.
Feng Lin's heart stirred. He only felt his mind being linked with the nine dragons by an invisible chain. He could control them as he desired.
Revolve, gather, disperse…
Formless surge of intents flowed from him. The nine fire dragons listened to his orders and followed his commands. They formed a ring of fire that revolved above him endlessly. Their fire could incinerate everything. In the form of a ring of fire, the power of each dragon was linked as well, becoming a huge fire dragon millstone that could be used to slaughter his enemies. They could also be used to entrap an enemy.
The original forms of this spell were the nine dragons that also had the ability to transform. Their might wasn't weak at all.
