203: Benefits that one is not fortunate enough to enjoy

Since it was rare for his Revered Master to provide benefits, Su Ling naturally wouldn't be polite and immediately set off for the spiritual field area.

Tens of thousands of mu of spiritual fields stretched for twenty to thirty li. With his Divine Sense range at the Peak Core Formation Stage, he should have been able to cover it with a single thought.

However, after his Divine Sense swept over, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Within the spiritual fields, Spiritual Plants and medicines were exceptionally lush, with medicinal ages of at least several hundred years, including many millennium Spiritual Plants.

But these rare medicinal materials were almost entirely high-level Spiritual Plants that only Cultivators at the Body Integration Stage or above could refine.

With his Core Formation Stage cultivation, if he were to rashly consume them, he feared his spiritual power would explode in the next moment, causing his death and the end of his path.

After seeing the reality clearly, the corner of Su Ling's mouth twitched slightly as he whispered to himself, "Revered Master's joke is a bit too much..."

In the past, he worried about the lack of medicinal potency, but now he had to worry about the potency being too overwhelming.

Left with no choice, he had to find a corner where the Wood-element Spiritual Qi was most dense to properly settle the Spirit Pupil Crane Egg.

The benefits he couldn't enjoy himself actually ended up benefiting this little guy.

After settling the crane egg, Su Ling also sat down cross-legged nearby.

Although it wasn't yet time for Nascent Soul Condensation, the abundant Wood-element Spiritual Qi here was of great benefit to Cultivating the Azure Heaven Thunder Method.

He did not give up the Thunder Method because he had obtained the Nine Nether Soul Devouring True Scripture.

The Nine Nether belongs to Yin, while the Thunder Method is extremely Yang; if the two could achieve Yin and Yang harmony, it would be of great assistance to his future path.

Moreover, he had just reached the Peak Core Formation Stage and needed to stabilize his Foundation and solidify his Dao Foundation... Although Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable had not mentioned it before, he wanted to view the full content of the Nine Nether Soul Devouring True Scripture.

But shortly after they set off, Su Ling still took the initiative to present this scripture to Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable for her review.

With her Golden Immortal cultivation and vision, her understanding of Cultivation Techniques and secret arts was far beyond what Su Ling could compare to.

Therefore, during this twenty-year starry sky journey, Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable often called him to her side to guide him in the various secret arts recorded in the Cultivation Technique.

Su Ling Cultivated diligently within the illusory sea boat, completely unaware of the passage of time in the outside world.

During these twenty years, although his cultivation had not grown significantly, his actual combat capability was no longer what it used to be.

The Qi Sea within his body gradually transformed into the "Devouring Abyss" unique to the Soul Devouring True Scripture, initially possessing the characteristics of devouring Spiritual Qi and Soul Power.

The "Devouring Yuan Hand" performed with the power of the Devouring Abyss could already intercept and devour an opponent's Spell attacks.

The "Shadow Evasion Art" could cover the body's surface with a layer of Devouring Abyss power, devouring all light and aura to achieve a nearly perfect invisibility effect.

Meanwhile, the "Netherworld Soul Devouring Art" used Divine Sense as a guide to manifest invisible soul-devouring tentacles, directly invading the opponent's Sea of Consciousness and devouring their Divine Soul Origin.

After years of hard Cultivation, both of these secret arts had reached the realm of Minor Achievement.

As for the "True Word Soul Burial Curse"... Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable did not suggest he practice it too much.

"Fights in the star sea mostly unfold between strangers and alien races."

Within the Illusory Sea Secret Realm, Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable lightly stroked her long sleeves and explained calmly, "How can it be easy to learn the true name of an opponent? Which true powerhouse has not spent tens or even hundreds of thousands of years Cultivating? Their original names have long been replaced by titles known to all."

She turned her gaze slightly toward Su Ling. "For example, for your Revered Master, the two words 'Clear Ripple' are merely a title. Even your two Senior Martial Uncles, Jing Tao and Fei Hong, do not know my true name. Furthermore, when attaining the Dao of a True Immortal, the Heavenly Dao allows Cultivators to take another true name to be branded within the Dao Sea of Laws... Although this incantation aligns with the Heavenly Dao, it has many restrictions and carries the risk of backlash, so it's better not to practice it."

"So that's how it is." Su Ling suddenly understood.

No wonder his Revered Master didn't think highly of this technique!

If one cannot learn the opponent's true name and rashly performs it, they would end up like that Black-Robed Cultivator, failing to harm the enemy and instead suffering from the incantation's backlash, resulting in a severely damaged Divine Soul.

"As for that Netherworld Corpse Refining Art... you can practice it a little."

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable pondered for a moment and said seriously, "However, this art harms the harmony of heaven. If you use the corpses of Cultivators from the cultivation world to refine them, it will easily incite public anger, which is unfavorable for your future path. I suggest you instead use the corpses of powerhouses from other worlds. After all, powerful alien races in the star sea are as numerous as the hairs on a cow... To put it broadly, why strike at your own people?"

"This Disciple will keep your teachings in mind, Revered Master."

Su Ling responded respectfully.

Spending these twenty years day and night with Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable was the period Su Ling had received the most guidance since becoming her Disciple.

His cognition of the star sea was already vastly different from before.

In the cultivation world, there were the Five Immortal Courts governing the heavens above, and three hundred Dao Sects occupying various Star Domains below.

Furthermore, there was the Magic Civilization that specialized in elemental magic, and the Naya World which believed in ancient gods and advocated Bloodline Power.

The Titan God Race, who were born as gods and could rival Golden Immortals upon reaching adulthood.

And then there were the Starry Sky Giants born from star cores, who could clash head-on with Golden Immortals as soon as they were born... The vast star sea is not dominated solely by the civilization of the Immortal Dao.

Among the known civilizations and races, at least two major forces have a comprehensive strength that can rival the civilization of the Immortal Dao.

"That will be all for today; it's time to go out."

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable stood up and stretched her body, waved to Su Ling, and turned to walk outside.

"Revered Master, have we arrived?"

Su Ling was startled and quickly followed.

"We haven't arrived yet, but we have entered the range of the Chenxi Star Domain."

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable flicked an Immortal Power from her fingertip to open the entrance to the Illusory Sea Secret Realm and stepped out. "After this, we just need to pass through a few more Star Gates to reach the Yunlan Realm where your Grandmaster is."

"Yes."

Following Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable out of the Secret Realm, the two returned to the cabin of the illusory sea boat.

As soon as he stepped out of the cabin door, Su Ling's eyes widened in surprise.

In the endless deep space, there actually stood a majestic Immortal City so massive it was hard to imagine.

Its scale was so massive that even a nearby planet that seemed similar to the Blue Star appeared as small as a ball at its feet.

It was hard to imagine exactly what kind of great power was needed to build such a magnificent pass.

"Both the Yi Xian Star Domain we are in and the Chenxi Star Domain are under the jurisdiction of the Qinghua Immortal Court."

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable glanced at Su Ling's inexperienced look and explained calmly, "This Void Gazer Pass is precisely the transportation hub between the two Star Domains."

The distance between them was originally unknown millions of miles, but the speed of the illusory sea boat was far beyond Su Ling's imagination.

In just a moment, the immortal boat had approached Void Gazer Pass.

Fifteen minutes later, the illusory sea boat carried the two of them straight toward the city gate.

One after another, armored soldiers with majestic auras stood solemnly throughout the city, using their Divine Sense to cover the entire pass without any hesitation.

"They are all True Immortals!"

Su Ling felt a chill in his heart.

As far as his eyes could see, there were actually thousands of True Immortal-level guards.

Behind this pass, there was definitely more than one Golden Immortal powerhouse presiding over it.

After a series of strict identity verifications, Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable finally led Su Ling to officially step into Void Gazer Pass.

The two did not stay in the city but went directly to where the starry sky teleportation array was located.

Besides the large teleportation arrays for large groups of Cultivators, there were also independent Formations for the use of a few people.

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable calmly paid over a hundred pieces of Immortal Jade that were shrouded in Immortal Qi.

Subsequently, the small Formation slowly activated, and a radiant teleportation channel slowly unfolded before her.

She protected Su Ling with her Immortal Power and then stepped into that brilliant curtain of light with him.
