Chapter 659: Chapter 402: Taoist Skill Achieved, Future Promising_2

Zhao Sheng sighed softly, “Alas, as an outsider, it is not my place to forcefully persuade you to give up. I am aware of your intentions. If there is no significant change in the future, I shall remain impartial and neutral.”

… “Leave the item behind, and if there is nothing else, you may withdraw!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengzhuo’s heart surged with joy, and he immediately took out a gold-embossed Storage Bag from his bosom and handed it over…

…

Half a month later,

The red Barrier covering the spirit field had not been withdrawn, but in half a month’s time, batch after batch of people had already come to the outside of the barrier. Except for the few who were fortunate enough to see the Ancestor in person, the rest bumped their noses, disheartened and had to leave in dismay.

That green-robed old farmer, since leaving from inside, had been called by countless people for questioning. He honestly recounted everything that had transpired and then, confused, received a large amount of rewards.

After this event, the old farmer was suddenly promoted to be the Spirit Field Manager, leading a quiet and prosperous life from then on. His descendants also seized this opportunity, and to everyone’s surprise, produced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, thus a small Cultivation Family was born.

This is a later story and does not need to be detailed now.

Zhao Sheng had stayed in the spirit field for two consecutive months and finally managed to create a preliminary Fire Dao Technique called “Life Flame.” The effect of this Spell could now maintain stability for a day and a night, barely sufficient for use.

When he removed the red barrier, it was clearly visible that the Dragon’s Tooth Rice in the ten-acre spirit field was not only half a foot taller than the surrounding spirit rice but also more robust and vigorous. The tips of the rice leaves were faintly yellowing, and the three-foot-long rice ears were as thick as thighs, obviously ripe for harvest soon.

At this moment, the crowd outside the field saw such a phenomenon and was amazed. Those with spiritual awareness realized that the Sixteenth Ancestor might have created an extraordinary Magic Skill.

At that time, someone suddenly stepped forward from the crowd, intending to bow down to the Ancestor.

However, Zhao Sheng suddenly soared into the sky and turned into a streak of red light that flew away.

…

In the middle of the thousand-mile spirit field of Divine Dragon Valley, there were large areas of continuously sprawling Spirit Medicine Gardens, the total area covering nearly a hundred miles. This place is known as Ten Thousand Medicine Garden, beneath which runs a third-tier, mid-grade Wood Element Spirit Vein.

Just then, a red light suddenly streaked across the sky and in a flash, descended into the most Spiritual Energy-rich medicine patch in Ten Thousand Medicine Garden.

The red light receded, and Zhao Sheng stepped on the thick Medicine Soil, walking towards the profusion of green light ahead.

At this moment, the green light spread over nearly a thousand feet, and at the brightest center of it sat an ordinary-looking old farmer. Surrounding the old farmer, nearly twenty green-robed people were sitting cross-legged, mostly middle-aged or older, with few young ones among them.

They all closed their eyes, meditating deeply, trying to comprehend the true essence of life.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes sparkled with admiration for Ancestor Fu Ji’s Nascent Soul Domain.

At that time, tender sprouts competed to break through the soil in the area covered by the green light. They grew rapidly enough to be seen with the naked eye, branching out, blossoming, and bearing grains. Then the grains fell to the ground, the branches and leaves decayed into the earth, and returned to the land.

And then, another cycle of breaking through the soil, growth, blossoming, and bearing grains began again and again.

It seemed that Zhao Sheng’s arrival had disturbed Zhao Fushi’s cultivation. His facial expression shifted slightly as he suddenly opened his eyes, and the Nascent Soul Domain around him also dissipated.

“Haha, so it’s Qiong Tian who has come. Welcome, welcome!” Zhao Fushi stood up from the ground, dusting off the soil on him, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

“Elder Fu, I have recently had some insights, and I came today to discuss the Tao with you,” Zhao Sheng took a few steps and said with a smile.

By now, everyone had awakened from their meditation and, upon seeing the figure of Zhao Sheng, stood up one after another, bowing respectfully.

“Ancestor Gong’an!”

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, while Zhao Fushi instructed everyone to withdraw first.

Once everyone had left, Zhao Fushi led Zhao Sheng to a vast Medicine Garden and entered a spacious and simple quiet room, where they sat down.

After exchanging pleasantries for a bit, Zhao Sheng quickly explained his intention and recounted the creation of the “Life Flame” Dao Technique from start to finish.

When he heard that there was a Magic Skill in the Fire Dao that could “Accelerate Spiritual Plant Growth,”

Zhao Fushi was slightly surprised at first, but then as if he came to an understanding, quickly regained his composure.

He directly said, “The so-called Heavenly Dao is natural! The Great Sun, the ancestor of all things, it’s not surprising that the ‘Life Flame’ Dao Technique, which embodies the Great Sun, can foster growth. But the Great Sun is too lofty and mysterious, far from the Mortal World. It is common for Cultivators to harness the fierce sun for destruction, yet few understand its creative aspect like Qiong Tian. This Technique is indeed rare!”

With that, Zhao Fushi’s eyebrows quivered. He inquired, “Qiong Tian, could you allow this old man to witness the mystery of this ‘Life Flame’ Dao Technique with his own eyes?”

“Ancestor Fu, please have a look.”

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng flicked his fingers, and a “Sun” had already leaped into the mid-air, emitting a white yet gentle light.

To give Zhao Fushi a clearer view, Zhao Sheng deliberately removed all the coverings to let the white glow subside, allowing the seven colors of the rainbow to reemerge, and actively displayed the internal Taoist construction.

Under the cover of the colorful rainbow light, a complex Rune Ball woven from countless Divine Thoughts faintly revealed itself. It was dotted with dense rune nodes, shimmering like a sky of twinkling stars.

Zhao Fushi’s eyes burst with Divine Light, his expression excited and thrilled as he probed the Taoist construction.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng also narrated some of the Fire Laws involved in the Life Flame Dao Skill to the other party.

Zhao Sheng was not afraid that the other party might learn and use it.

It was not only because Zhao Fushi specialized in the Wood Element and his Magic Skill was greatly conflicted with the Fire Dao,

But also because Zhao Sheng intended to teach the “Life Flame” Dao Skill to more people, hoping to draw on the strength of the masses to modify and improve it, thereby nourishing his own cultivation.

Zhao Fushi was worthy of being a Spiritual Agriculture Grandmaster. He soon had great insights and began to point out some deficiencies in the Life Flame Dao Skill from the perspective of the Wood Element.

Zhao Sheng was amenable, immediately starting to rectify the Taoist construction.

After several exchanges, the Life Flame Dao Skill saw significant improvements.

…

A day later, Zhao Sheng stood alongside Zhao Fushi at the edge of a Spirit Rice Field, both of them gazing intently at the “Sun” above the spirit rice field.

At this moment, a layer of emerald light permeated the field. The emerald glow was from Elder Fu’s Nascent Soul Domain; he was closely monitoring the growth of the spirit rice.

“The growth speed has only increased by a fraction, the Flame Power is still too strong, we need to weaken it a bit more.”

“Hmm,” Zhao Sheng nodded, immediately releasing a stream of Divine Thoughts, starting to make fine adjustments to part of the Taoist construction.

Soon, Zhao Fushi asked again, “If the range of the flame light were expanded by another thirty percent, how long could the spell be maintained?”

“Well, about two days or so. If it remains unchanged, it can be maintained for three days and nights,” Zhao Sheng estimated and replied.

“…Is there a possibility that once you release the Life Flame, someone else could take over maintaining the Dao Method, keeping it from falling?”

“Good question! That… I need to think carefully about that.”

…

“…It’s been modified, but at minimum, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator must take over the maintenance, because it’s at Foundation Establishment that Divine Sense is born.”

…

Another month went by, and the two Nascent Souls were still single-mindedly perfecting the Dao Method.

However, as the Life Flame Dao Skill became increasingly complete, their exchanges became less frequent. Most of the minor issues had been resolved, and regarding the remaining challenges, there seemed to be no hope for a solution in the near future.

On the day when the spirit rice in the spirit field matured, Zhao Fushi asked one final question: “The ‘Life Flame’ is indeed miraculous, but its Dao Skill grade is too high, only a Nascent Soul can cultivate it. Qiong Tian, could you simplify it to create several Middle and Low Rank spells that Golden Cores, Foundation Establishments, and even Qi Refinements can cultivate?”

This question plunged Zhao Sheng into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally lifted his head, hesitant to say, “If there are a few decades or a hundred years, it should be possible, I guess!”

Little did he expect that Zhao Fushi would appear quite satisfied: “Excellent, merely a hundred years is not a long time at all. I thought it was impossible, but it turns out you, Qiong Tian, are so capable!”

Since ancient times, the most difficult part of Taoist Skills is not the cultivation, but the entry barrier is too high.

But if it becomes a system where Low, Middle, and High Grade spells form a continuous lineage, then the difficulty of cultivating Taoist Skills would be greatly reduced. It would then not end up lofty and isolated, often resulting in loss of transmission.

In Zhao Fushi’s view, the Life Flame Dao Skill was undoubtedly a major breakthrough for the Fire Dao.

This technique had infinite potential, and if further researched, it could indeed create an unprecedented Nascent Soul level Cultivation Technique.

As for a Divinity Transformation Level True Scripture, he did not dare to hope for it because that… was too difficult, almost impossible!
