219: The road of cultivation has no end

Jiang Yu chuckled, “I won’t bother with Earl Xining’s Mansion anymore. I’ve decided to focus on cultivation from now on.”

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, embarking on the path of cultivation is the best choice. She intends to walk this path well.

Xie Weilou nodded slightly, “That’s good. Thinking too much is detrimental to cultivation. Since there’s a better path now, walk it well. However, this path might be very cruel, so you need to be mentally prepared.”

“Thank you for the Young Lord Xie’s reminder. How about I treat Young Lord Xie to a meal?”

A smile appeared on Jiang Yu’s face.

Being able to cultivate indeed has to do with her spiritual bone. A teacher at the academy had tested her this time, and she possesses a high-grade spiritual bone, which is quite extraordinary.

But she understood that Xie Weilou was her benefactor. If it weren’t for that bottle of pills, she probably wouldn’t have ever gotten involved in cultivation in this lifetime.

Since childhood, her uncle and aunt had always suppressed her, not even allowing her to get her bone structure tested, let alone letting her cultivate?

Xie Weilou smiled and waved his hand, “There’s plenty of time. I observe that the spiritual power within your body is extraordinary, and your spiritual bone’s grade should not be low. Just entering an ordinary academy isn’t enough; you should consider entering a Sacred Institute. If you enter a Sacred Institute, then you can treat me to a meal!”

“Alright! It’s a deal then. If I’m fortunate enough to enter a Sacred Institute, I will definitely treat you to a meal.”

Jiang Yu said with a serious expression.

The academy teacher had also mentioned the matter of the Sacred Institute to her. Although her cultivation was low now, having just embarked on the path of cultivation, her bone structure was extraordinary, and she had a great chance of entering a Sacred Institute.

Entering a Sacred Institute depends on one’s bone structure, strength, and perseverance. The first thing to look at is bone structure; those with extraordinary bone structures have a greater chance.

“Mm!”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly and walked forward.

Jiang Yu looked at Xie Weilou’s back and murmured, “Young Lord Xie is a good person!”

— — — — — —

Xie Weilou did not go to the Tianquan Division again, but instead went directly to Xie Bian’s residence.

On the plaque of the residence, the four characters ‘Life is like a dream’ were still conspicuous.

Xie Weilou entered the residence and glanced around. Third Uncle had already left and hadn't returned for some time. He probably wouldn't be back anytime soon.

Buzz!

He waved his hand, and several Restriction runes appeared, sealing the residence. Then he entered a pavilion.

Inside the pavilion.

Xie Weilou once again set up some rune Restriction, then sat down cross-legged and muttered to himself, “The path of cultivation is endless. How can I be lazy and negligent? There are still ten days left to raise my cultivation to Dao Repository Realm Peak!”

After speaking, he took out the old monk’s Dao Fruit.

Boom!

The Nirvana Sutra circulated, frantically refining the power of the Dao Fruit. The surrounding spiritual energy continuously poured into his body, enveloping him like a cocoon. Powerful energy surged into his kidney’s divine repository, continuously forging it.

The heart stores the spirit, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the will, the lungs store the corporeal soul, and the kidneys store the ambition.

The kidney’s divine repository stores ambition, governs water, and seals essence. The “Suwen: Six Sections of Zang Xiang Theory” states: “The kidney is the master of hibernation, the foundation of storage, and the place of essence.”

The five divine repositories are all connected to the five elements and the soul. Therefore, the deduction of the Profound Manifestation Realm needs to be deduced through the five divine repositories, which is profound and unpredictable.

For Xie Weilou now, the Profound Manifestation Realm is still a little far off. The top priority is to first forge the kidney’s divine repository to its extreme and raise his cultivation to Dao Repository Realm Peak. Only then can he consider the matter of Xuanxiang.

Boom!

Xie Weilou frantically circulated the Nirvana Sutra. The power of the Dao Fruit continuously forged his kidneys with an endless supply of energy. The last divine repository was the most difficult to forge, and the forging time would definitely be a bit longer...

In a flash.

Seven days passed.

Inside the pavilion.

Terrifying pressure erupted from Xie Weilou’s body, and many Restriction developed cracks.

Boom!

A roar came from within Xie Weilou’s body. Golden light surged out from him, filling the entire pavilion, and the surrounding Restriction completely shattered.

At this moment, his vital energy was at its peak, as if it was about to condense into a physical form. Golden light surged out from his five divine repositories, dazzling and radiating a terrifying pressure.

“The kidney’s divine repository has been forged to its extreme, just like the other four divine repositories, appearing golden. My cultivation has successfully entered Dao Repository Realm Peak.”

Xie Weilou opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

After entering Dao Repository Realm Peak, he felt his combat power had increased significantly. His vital energy was incredibly abundant. At this moment, he might be able to fight against an ordinary Profound Manifestation Realm cultivator across levels even without the Heaven Mending Art.

He looked at the Dao Fruit floating in front of him. The originally blood-red Dao Fruit had dimmed slightly. Forging two divine repositories consumed a significant amount of the Dao Fruit’s power.

However, there was still powerful energy hidden within this Dao Fruit, and it could continue to be refined.

“There are still three days left, which should not be enough to deduce Xuanxiang. I’ll put aside the Profound Manifestation Realm for now and prepare to engrave Restriction.”

Xie Weilou put away the Dao Fruit and then took out several pieces of precious jade.

The Void Heaven Sword Arena, just by its name, sounded extraordinary. Besides the immense killing intent hidden there, the cultivators going there also posed a huge threat, so preparations needed to be made in advance.

Defensive and offensive Restriction were essential and had to be prepared.

Buzz!

Xie Weilou instantly merged with the Demon Hand, and demonic energy erupted from his entire body. At this moment, he felt much more relaxed merging with the Demon Hand.

However, this Demon Hand was extremely powerful, and its demonic energy was too terrifying. To completely control it without being corroded by the demonic energy, he might need a higher cultivation level.

He conjured his spiritual brush.

Xie Weilou directly began to engrave Restriction onto the precious jade in front of him. The Restriction he was engraving this time had to be sixth-grade, otherwise, mere fifth-grade ones would not provide much assurance.

With the Demon Hand, plus the soul power enhanced by Mend the Sky Defect, engraving sixth-grade Restriction runes now posed no major problem.

Two hours later.

Xie Weilou engraved Restriction runes into more than a dozen pieces of precious jade. During the engraving process, he discovered a problem: ordinary precious jade could only withstand a limited amount of Restriction rune power.

Especially with sixth-grade Restriction runes, only a few could be engraved on each piece of precious jade. If too many were engraved, the precious jade would be destroyed.

“A few runes in one piece of precious jade isn’t enough. I need a Restriction rune that can serve as a Forbidden Artifact.”

A faint light flashed in Xie Weilou’s eyes. He took out a peculiar piece of precious jade—this was spirit jade, which he had embezzled from Song Shenfeng earlier!

The spiritual brush moved, and Restriction runes appeared, continuously engraving into this piece of spirit jade, a total of ninety-nine of them.

“To the extreme...”

Xie Weilou stared at the spirit jade in front of him. Although this spirit jade was extraordinary, the Restriction runes it could bear were also limited, at most ninety-nine. One more, and it would directly shatter.

He held the spirit jade, feeling the power of the Restriction runes within. The Restriction engraved this time were of the offensive type. When ninety-nine sixth-grade runes fully erupted, even a Dragon Transformation Realm Peak cultivator would likely lose half their life.

“It’s quite a killing weapon.”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently. The demonic energy on his body dissipated, and he put away his spiritual brush and the precious jade in front of him.

“There’s still a little time left. I’ll try to comprehend Haoran Sword Qi and strive to complete its cultivation within three days. As for the Ninth Heaven Blade, it will have to wait.”

Xie Weilou closed his eyes, and the contents of Haoran Sword Qi appeared in his mind.

Buzz!

He formed a hand seal, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged wildly. First, it entered the Haoran, then condensed into sword qi, and finally, by drawing and swinging the sword, one could dominate the Haoran Heaven!
