Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 1363 - Teaching Cultivation Techniques

Chapter 1363 - Teaching Cultivation Techniques
The feat of killing fifteen divinekins in just a few breaths was utterly terrifying.
"Refine the Divine Fruits," Liu Wuxie murmured.
He refined all fifteen Divine Fruits without the slightest hesitation, and terrifying divine force surged through his soul sea as the third divine gate slowly took shape within. The divine gate then burst open with a thunderous explosion, and an even more terrifying wave of divine force poured into Liu Wuxie, rampaging throughout his meridians.
After all, these Divine Fruits belonged to the Void Realm, and refining them was comparable to absorbing hundreds of Divine Fruits at the Primal Origin Realm. The laws contained within them corresponded directly to the Void Realm.
Although Liu Wuxie did not break through to a higher realm in terms of cultivation, his divine force became at least ten times stronger than before. A faint outline of the fourth divine gate also appeared, but it did not fully open; he still needed more Divine Fruits to force it open.
With his divine force fortified, the power of his mythical arts became even more devastating. The Great Poison Mythical Art slipped into the bodies of the remaining divinekins like a curse, eroding them from within.
Yet the Great Darkness Mythical Art remained the most terrifying, as the Ghost Pupil controlled it and plunged the divinekins into a boundless darkness where they could not find even their way forward.
"Gate of Darkness, crush!" Liu Wuxie finally unleashed his trump card. The True Martial Star's world force was already close to exhaustion, and he had to bring this battle to an end as soon as possible.
Across the planet, countless people collapsed to the ground as the energy within them funneled into Liu Wuxie. Many cultivators sat down the instant they drained the last shred of their true essence, only to discover that their cultivation had become even more refined than before.
They had received feedback from the True Martial Star.
"Planet lord! Master Liu has become the planet lord!" Countless people cheered. The fact that Liu Wuxie had become a planet lord meant that the True Martial Continent had fully evolved into a planet. Only an actual planet had independent laws that allowed cultivators to advance into the higher realms.
Before long, the True Martial Star would produce a new batch of powerful experts, and the Transcendent Realm would probably not remain the upper limit.
The True Martial Star was still growing rapidly as a newborn planet in its infancy, and this swift growth would only slow down once it fully matured, just like the Indigo Bamboo Star.
The Ghost Pupil opened between Liu Wuxie's brows, and the entire True Martial Star instantly plunged into darkness. The sun vanished the moment the Ghost Pupil appeared, and this was the Ghost Pupil's terrifying ability—capable of commanding darkness itself.
"Liu Wuxie, damn you! Damn you!" the remaining divinekins roared in despair as the Gate of Darkness crushed them all, their bodies converted into Divine Fruits on the Ancestral Tree.
Liu Wuxie did not consume these Divine Fruits and instead suppressed the Ghost Pupil's power. A sharp, stinging pain immediately shot through his soul sea, as he had burned too much soul energy to activate the Ghost Pupil.
Even though his soul energy now rivaled that of the Void Realm, he could only maintain the Ghost Pupil for a single breath; any longer, and his soul sea would collapse.
Looking over the battlefield, Zhen Yi and Mao Renfeng exchanged glances. The shock in their eyes was unmistakable.
"Wuxie, congratulations on becoming the True Martial Star's planet lord," the two said.
"I should be thanking you two instead. These two Divine Fruits are for you. It can help to expand your soul seas and extend your lifespans so you can better protect the True Martial Star," Liu Wuxie said. Now was not the time to be stingy, especially when he still needed their help in the future.
Moreover, Liu Wuxie could not possibly move the entire Liu Clan and the Heavenly Dao Society. He would only be taking a portion of the people with him this time, and he needed the two elders to watch over those who stayed behind.
The two elders accepted the Divine Fruits with trembling hands, so overwhelmed with emotion that they could not even form proper words.
"Wuxie, no amount of thanks can express our gratitude," Zhen Yi said as he put away the Divine Fruit and bowed deeply toward Liu Wuxie. Though Liu Wuxie's current cultivation realm sat beneath theirs, his combat prowess meant he could easily kill them if he truly wished.
"Let's head back," Liu Wuxie said.
He tore through space once more and returned to the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy with the two elders in just a few minutes. The battle had lasted for barely an hour before they slew all twenty-odd divinekins.
......
Far away on the divine race's planet, four powerful divinekins stood in formation, their hands weaving seals as they maintained the Astral Domain Path's stability.
Without any warning, the spiritual array suddenly shattered, and the Astral Domain Path collapsed inward.
"This is bad! Someone has severed the Astral Domain Path!" the four divinekins exclaimed, their faces changing dramatically. The severing of the Astral Domain Path meant that the divinekins they had sent out would never be able to return.
"Go to the Divine Lord immediately!" They had to deliver this news to the Divine Lord at once, as the collapse of the Astral Domain Path was no small matter.
Liu Wuxie knew nothing of this and returned to the Liu Clan after concluding his meeting at the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy. With only a little more than a day left, he intended to spend the remaining time with his family.
The Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy operated at full speed, particularly those who were descendants of cultivators from the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. They all went to their ancestral halls, preparing their ancestors' remains for transport home.
The Han Clan also selected three hundred elite disciples and placed them in the Treasure Soul Pouch. The Dragon Emperor Academy chose over two hundred disciples of its own.
At the Liu Clan, Liu Xiucheng personally screened every candidate before finally selecting fifty disciples. Liu Feng, Liu Tian, and Liu Xing were among them. Liu Yan and Liu Yan stayed behind, refusing to leave the clan without roots.
Liu Tian and Lu Shuang had long since married, and their child was already a year old.
According to his original plan, Liu Wuxie intended to bring his grandfather and parents along, but they rejected the idea, insisting that the Liu Clan would shatter without them. The Liu Clan had finally stepped onto the proper path, and no one wanted to see it torn apart by internal strife.
In the end, they agreed that the younger generation would accompany Liu Wuxie to the astral domain. After a year of tempering, they had all grown significantly, especially Liu Feng, the eldest of Liu Wuxie's generation. He had already developed the bearing of a patriarch.
Faced with his grandfather's and parents' firm insistence, Liu Wuxie could not push the matter any further. He also understood that the Liu Clan would likely fall apart within a few years without them.
In any case, they would connect the True Martial Star to the astral domain in three years, so he did not feel overly worried.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao Society still struggled over who would get the chance to leave with Liu Wuxie. In the end, they quickly settled on three hundred elites, including several promising talents from the Southern Domain.
By now, Bai Lin and Tang Tian had taken charge of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, sending a steady stream of prodigies to the Heavenly Dao Society every year.
By the time of the next event, the final lists from the Heavenly Dao Society and the Han Clan were both handed over to Liu Wuxie.
Bi Gongyu, Lan Yu, Hu She, Miao Jianying, Mu Yueying, her husband, Jiang Le, Yu Zhibai, Shen Rong, and many others were all on the list.
They were the younger generation's elite, and the organizers granted very few spots to the older generation. Xu Yilin voluntarily gave up his opportunity, as he refused to leave the Heavenly Dao Society without his management.
Tian Xing also forfeited his chance; he was already satisfied that he had come this far. He did not hesitate to pass the opportunity to Miao Jianying instead, someone who had assisted him for many years.
Mu Tianli led the older generation; he had once served as the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's sect master and possessed formidable administrative ability.
He would lead the Heavenly Dao Society in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain. He had been managing most of its affairs over the years, which meant he was thoroughly familiar with its inner workings.
Since Liu Dayue had been staying in the Heavenly Dao Society throughout the years, he would also join the group. The Liu Clan needed someone from the older generation, and he was the ideal candidate.
Just yesterday, Gu Yu had joined the Heavenly Dao Society without a moment's hesitation, determined to follow Liu Wuxie to the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain.
With that, not counting the Han Clan, Liu Wuxie would be taking around a thousand people with him, which was not too many.
On the second night, Liu Wuxie called his parents, grandfather, in-laws, his wives, Bi Gongyu, Hu She, Lan Yu, Song Ling, Mu Tianli, Qiao Bian, Miao Jianying, Gu Yu, Jiang Le, Shen Tian, Liu Xing, and the others to the Liu Clan's cultivation chamber.
There were a little over thirty people present, but they were the closest to him. Those further down on the list were the upper echelons of the Heavenly Dao Society.
Liu Wuxie had already given Song Ling a cultivation method. After cultivating it, Song Ling slimmed down dramatically, and his strength grew in parallel. Through careful examination, Liu Wuxie discovered that Song Ling possessed a rare constitution with a trace of primordial force in him.
With such a constitution, his future would be unimaginable once he matured.
Everyone revealed grave expressions, fully aware that Liu Wuxie had to have summoned them here for an important reason.
"I believe you all should know why I gathered all of you," Liu Wuxie said. They had specially constructed the cultivation chamber, and the time laws inside differed from those of the outside world. One day outside the cultivation chamber equaled a full year inside.
Liu Wuxie had even spent two hours modifying the cultivation chamber, making the spiritual energy within extraordinarily dense. He planned to use this single night to raise their cultivation as much as possible.
In the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, their current cultivation could not even be considered at the bottom of the pyramid, after all.
He intended to boost their strength as much as he could using the vast trove of resources he had obtained from the Myriad Race Ceremony.
Everyone's eyes shone with eagerness. Yesterday's preach had been broad and aimed at the masses, but tonight would be different—Liu Wuxie would provide each of them with specific guidance.
"All of you circulate your cultivation techniques," Liu Wuxie said. He planned to modify their cultivation techniques, as the ones they practiced now would not even qualify as garbage in the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain.
Everyone followed Liu Wuxie's instructions without a single complaint, fully aware that this was a golden opportunity they could not afford to miss.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu Yueying's lips as she sat beside Mu Tianli. She never would have imagined that a single unintentional act in the past would lead to all of this.
Liu Wuxie was not someone who forgot favors, and even if he became an Immortal Emperor again, he would never forget those who had helped him.
Moreover, he would not allow anyone to harm his family and friends in this lifetime.
He did not want to find himself alone at the end of the cultivation path, watching his loved ones leave him one by one. Thus, he planned to bring his family and friends along so they could reach the pinnacle of the world together.
Everyone circulated their cultivation techniques as Liu Wuxie split his divine sense into more than thirty strands, something he could do only after refining dozens of Divine Fruits.
When the Heavenly Dao Book unfolded in his soul sea, he began deducing and perfecting their cultivation techniques one by one.
Time slipped past quietly. A month passed inside the cultivation chamber, while only two hours passed outside. Under Liu Wuxie's tireless guidance, multiple new cultivation techniques gradually took shape.
"That's enough," Liu Wuxie said, signaling for them to stop.
Everyone halted their circulation of true essence and turned their gazes toward Liu Wuxie. Their eyes burned with anticipation.
"Grandfather, your cultivation technique is too overbearing, and it damages your meridians as you cultivate. Practice this one instead, from now on," Liu Wuxie said, sending a golden beam from his fingertip into Liu Xiucheng's soul sea.
The new cultivation technique was thousands of times more exquisite than the previous one, and with his current cultivation, Liu Xiucheng could not even fully comprehend it.
Shortly after, Liu Wuxie moved on to his parents and his wives. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra that Xu Lingxue practiced had originated from the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, but it became incomplete after that ancient battle. Through his modifications, the cultivation technique returned to its perfect form.
Everyone, aside from Song Ling, received a new cultivation technique explicitly tailored for them, allowing them to cultivate with half the effort and reap twice the results.
