Within the Inner Sect residence.
Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged, silently reviewing the gains from this retreat.
"The Pure Lotus Heart Scripture, although originally a Zen Buddhism ultimate skill, somehow ended up in the Cyan Cloud Sect."
"This technique emphasizes Refining Heart, perfectly complementing the Self-Cutting Sword Dao, greatly accelerating my Cultivation speed."
"However, the rate at which this technique consumes resources is undeniably terrifying."
Lu Yuan smiled wryly.
Although this world focuses on the Idealist Martial Dao, Cultivation Resources are still indispensable.
Moreover, the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture believes that all Cultivators are merely passengers crossing the bustling world.
It requires using the spirit as the guide and the flesh body as the vessel.
If the flesh body is not solid, how can it carry oneself to cross the sea and reach the legendary shore?
Because of this.
While spiritual will is indeed important, the physical fortitude must also be diligently exercised.
As such.
Compared to other Cultivation Techniques, this one naturally consumes more Cultivation Resources.
Of course.
Where there is a loss, there is bound to be a gain.
Although the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture is like a bottomless pit that devours resources, its effects in enhancing combat power are remarkably significant.
It’s like Lu Yuan, after cultivating this technique, became spiritually vibrant, mentally strong, and physically indestructible.
Even though he only has a Sixth-Layer Spiritual Sea Cultivation, he can easily defeat a Soul Palace Realm expert!
"The Inner Sect competition is approaching, I should set off now."
Lu Yuan stood up and stretched lazily.
Then he had a simple wash, changed into clean clothes, and headed straight out.
As he left his dwelling and headed to the Inner Sect square, he discovered that the Cyan Cloud Sect was already bustling with noise and excitement.
People came and went along the way, occasionally seeing powerful guests from various factions.
Sometimes, a rainbow light would streak across the sky, revealing the presence of a Supreme Elder Level Nirvana Realm expert!
"If body refining, Spiritual Sea, and Soul Palace can still be considered the Martial Dao, then Nirvana Realm marks the transcendence into the path of cultivation, shedding mortal constraints and truly embarking on the journey of a Cultivator."
Watching the rainbow lights, Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Compared to Nirvana Realm Cultivators.
Even powerful Soul Palace Realm Martial Artists are like lowly beings yet to fully evolve, fundamentally not on the same level.
Therefore, to a giant like the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Nirvana Realm Cultivators are like Stabilizing Needles whose mere words can alter the destiny of countless sect disciples!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As these rainbow lights appeared.
Six consecutive low and resonant bell tolls suddenly echoed throughout the Cyan Cloud Sect.
This was the sound of bells from the Main Peak, and once struck, it signifies a significant event is occurring.
"Six tolls represent esteemed guests are visiting, even the Sect Leader must personally greet them; it seems these individuals have extraordinary identities."
Lu Yuan pondered.
Following the crowd, he ascended the steps and soon reached the Main Peak.
The usually quiet Main Peak was now bustling, with at least ten thousand disciples gathered.
Looking around, there were figures everywhere.
The tops of several dozen peaks near the Main Peak had been shaved off with Great Mana, serving as the arenas for this competition.
"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, come over here quickly."
Lu Yuan was standing among the crowd, quietly waiting for the competition to start when suddenly he heard a familiar female voice.
He looked up and saw Luo Xin standing on a stone pavilion not far away, warmly waving at him.
Beside her, there were several young disciples of remarkable demeanor.
These disciples wore Dark Gold Profound Robes, each looking poised and dignified, clearly the sect’s True Disciples!
"Greetings Elder Sister Luo Xin."
Lu Yuan only greeted Luo Xin, but he himself remained standing where he was, not moving over.
Because judging from the speech and behavior of those True Disciples, they carried a subtle arrogance.
Evidently, only fellow True Disciples of great talent are qualified to stand alongside them.
If Lu Yuan were to approach them, he would undoubtedly be seeking a cold shoulder, equal to inviting discomfort.
"Is this the Inner Sect genius the Sect Master favors?"
Upon hearing Luo Xin’s words, those True Disciples glanced at Lu Yuan indifferently, but their expressions quickly changed, as if they had encountered something unbelievable.
Because they were astonished to find.
With their Soul Palace Realm Cultivation, they couldn’t discern Lu Yuan’s realm or depth of power.
Moreover, when they focused their Spiritual Power to forcibly probe further.
Suddenly their vision went dark, all the Spiritual Power they had extended was instantly severed, losing all connection with them.
"How is this possible! His spiritual will is so strong, even we cannot compare?"
Those True Disciples turned pale, utterly shocked, as though they had seen a ghost.
After all, to become a sect’s True Inheritor, one must be extraordinarily gifted.
It’s said that whether in Cultivation, Comprehension, innate talent, or Martial Dao Will, they are leaders among their peers.
Yet now.
Despite deploying all their methods, they could not see through Lu Yuan’s depth.
Does this mean.
Lu Yuan’s real battle prowess surpasses even theirs?
"Soul Palace experts have steadfast will, the soul can temporarily leave the body, but he’s only at Spiritual Sea Cultivation; how can he possess such formidable Spiritual Power?"
Those True Disciples looked grim, unable to accept this reality for a long time.
"I’ve said before, Junior Brother Lu Yuan is extraordinarily talented, not inferior to many True Disciples."
"Yet you refused to believe, and now you finally face the consequences, don’t you?"
Luo Xin rolled her eyes, speaking with slight annoyance.
