1113 Simple and Crude Cultivation



"Divine Fire Technique?"

Lin Feng did not pay much mind to Elder Yun Zhou's departure. Instead, he was very interested in the Divine Fire Technique "recommended" by Elder Yun Zhou. Hence, he browsed through the Divine Fire Technique.

There were indeed as many as 81 levels.

However, this Divine Fire Technique was not some miraculous or arcane technique, but something ordinary, even commonplace. Almost all the orthodox or heretic cultivation factions had a copy.

The reason was very simple. It was an experimental spell. It was a spell created by a certain Golden Core Perfected Person on a whim.

fThat Golden Core Perfected Person conceptualized that the process of cultivating the Divine Fire Technique went from frugality to extravagance. In other words, it was very easy to cultivate in the beginning. One only needed to cultivate a kind of "intrinsic divine fire" as the core to enter the first level.

Basically all cultivators could do it. The core of the Divine Fire Technique was to allow the divine fire to undergo metamorphosis step by step.

The intention was quite good, but that Perfected Person Golden Core had forgotten a very crucial factor, and that was time.

He might succeed in cultivating the first level in a day.

The second level varied from person to person, but even for those with ordinary aptitude, a month was enough.

The third level required at least three months.

The fourth level required six months.

The fifth level required a year.

According to this pattern, the time required for each subsequent level would increase by several times, or even exponentially. How much time would it take to cultivate to the 81st level?

At the very least, even a Golden Core Perfected Person did not have such a long lifespan. As for the undying and long-lived Nascent Soul Immortals, it was possible for them to cultivate it to the peak.

However, how miraculous were the spells of the Nascent Soul Immortals? Why would they need the spell of a mere Golden Core Perfected Person?

Hence, this Divine Fire Technique was basically useless. Almost no one chose to cultivate it. Some people did not believe it and tried to focus on cultivating it, but no one could cultivate more than the first 30 levels.

There were very few people who had even cultivated the first 20 levels.

However, Lin Feng was very interested after reading it. The Divine Fire Technique used a kind of divine fire as the core for constant cultivation, allowing the divine fire to undergo metamorphosis. This seemed to be somewhat similar to the Spirit Flame Hallowed Body, but was not completely identical.

The Spirit Flame Hallowed Body cultivated the hallowed body, not the Chaotic spirit flames. This Divine Fire Technique was different. It cultivated the divine fire, but not the body.

"Interesting. The principle is not complicated. It's just that it requires controlling the metamorphosis of the divine fire, which is very troublesome. According to the concept of the Divine Fire Technique, it requires a long time to nurture. This point has practically blocked all the paths ahead. However, what if I use another method that doesn't require nurturing it for a long time, but instead uses other divine fires to promote the metamorphosis of the intrinsic divine fire?"

Lin Feng also had an idea, but he was a Hallowed Lord, and his realm was actually not much different from the Nascent Soul Immortals of this world. Hence, his knowledge far exceeded that Golden Core Perfected Person who had created the Divine Fire Technique.

Therefore, Lin Feng decisively chose this spell.

Right on the heels of that, Lin Feng looked up on the arrays in this world. Unlike the arrays in the Chaos, the arrays in this world did not have any runes. Every array emphasized adapting to the world, and relied on the power of the world.

Hence, one had to have a deep comprehension of the heavenly principle in order to be accomplished in arrays.

Lin Feng's realm was not bad. As for his comprehension of the heavenly principle? He did not care at all. Perhaps arrays at higher levels still posed some obstacles to him at the moment, but as for some basic arrays, Lin Feng did not encounter any trouble.

Soon, Lin Feng chose the Divine Fire Technique and the basics on arrays, and left the Secret Technique Library.

After returning to his small courtyard, Lin Feng quickly set up a few arrays near the small courtyard to conceal his aura. Even the fluctuations of the world spiritual aura could be concealed.

This way, Lin Feng could cultivate the Fire Cloud Aura Cultivation Chapter without worries.

"Let's see if I can cultivate the Aura Cultivation Chapter to the consummate tenth level of Aura Cultivation today."

Lin Feng was eager to give it a try. He realized that cultivation in this world also seemed to take a slightly different path, but different paths led to the same destination. He believed that at the end of cultivation, the outcome would be about the same.

With Lin Feng's "Hallowed Lord" realm, cultivating the Aura Cultivation Chapter would be a piece of cake.

Hence, Lin Feng began to cultivate with all he had.

Boom.

Once again, the world spiritual aura grew restless, and a storm brewed. However, due to the concealment of the array, no one noticed the commotion at Lin Feng's place.

The fourth level, fifth level, sixth level, seventh level, eighth level…

Cultivating the Aura Cultivation Chapter became instinctive to Lin Feng. With his massive mental power, it was as if he was cheating. He extracted a large amount of world spiritual aura with abandon, and "infused" it into his body.

"Oh, I think I've reached a bottleneck on the eighth level."

When Lin Feng reached the eighth level, he finally paused for a moment. He realized that there was a feeling of "fullness" in his body, as if it was already difficult to continue past the eighth level.

"A bottleneck? Or is this the limit of my aptitude?"

A sharp glint flashed across Lin Feng's eyes. Innate talent. Cultivators in this world were very particular about aptitude. If one's aptitude was not high, there would be a limit.

This was the case for many people. No matter how much they cultivated, they could only reach the fifth or sixth level of Aura Cultivation realm for their entire lives, and could not improve any further. There were also some who could only circle around the Aura Cultivation realm in their entire lives, and could not build their foundation at all.

Of course, aptitude did not completely determine a person's future. Once one reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the effect of aptitude would slowly decline, because Foundation Establishment was actually a process of modifying one's aptitude.

If one's Foundation Establishment was solid, their aptitude would instead change.

It was the same for the Golden Core. Condensing a powerful Golden Core could also allow a cultivator's aptitude to undergo metamorphosis.

However, before Foundation Establishment, aptitude was crucial. For example, now, the limit of Lin Feng's aptitude was the eighth level of Aura Cultivation. If he cultivated step by step, it might take decades or centuries for him to reach the eighth level of Aura Cultivation. However, in just two days, or to be precise, in just four hours, he had reached the bottleneck.

Even the Foundation Establishment elders could not do anything about this bottleneck. The Golden Core Perfected Persons might have a way, but the price must be very high.

However, Lin Feng was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a Hallowed Lord from another world. In terms of realm, he was a top-notch Perfected Deity, not inferior to or even better than the top-notch Golden Core Perfected Persons in this world.

He was not far from even the Nascent Soul Immortals.

Hence, Lin Feng had a solution, and his method was very simple and direct. It could even be considered "crude".

"Bottleneck? Isn't it just that the body can't accommodate more world spiritual aura? At this moment, even if I cultivate, the spiritual aura can't be converted into true aura. Since ordinary methods won't work, I'll be direct."

Lin Feng's method was very simple, direct, and even crude. He immediately mobilized his mental power and absorbed a large amount of world spiritual aura. Then, like a huge hand, it poured the world spiritual aura into his body.

He was "forcibly stuffing" the world spiritual aura into his body. It was like a bottle. Although it was already full, Lin Feng ignored it and stuffed it inside forcefully.

If one fold of spiritual aura did not work, he would add ten times. If ten times did not work, he would add a hundred times.

Even a Golden Core Perfected Person could not use such an easy, direct, and even crude method. After all, in terms of mental power, perhaps only a Nascent Soul Immortal could compare to a Hallowed Lord like Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's body began to expand bit by bit like a balloon. Although most of the infinite world spiritual aura that was forcefully stuffed into his body was lost, there was simply too much world spiritual aura surging in.

Hence, it could only be compressed again and again.

Finally, it reached a certain limit.

Boom.

A rumble sounded in Lin Feng's mind, and his body suddenly shook. Then, Lin Feng's body absorbed a large amount of world spiritual aura, like a sponge absorbing water.

Just like that, he broke through the bottleneck of aptitude with such an easy, direct, and even crude method.
