Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 613 - 610 Cultivation System

Moreover, to Lu Ren's surprise, it seemed that even the Earth God's lifespan was nearing its end, not the immortality of legend.

Seeing that Lu Ren no longer controlled him, the Earth God immediately got up and stayed far away. Yet, he didn't dare to run, just stood honestly to the side, cursing in his heart while meekly bowing and saying, "I don't know what else this esteemed person needs to be enlightened about?"

Lu Ren, pinching his chin, circled around the Earth Spirit, finally coming to the conclusion that the counterpart was indeed in a Primordial Spirit state or, in other words, a special kind of somatic spirit form, strictly speaking, only a Ghost Immortal.

"You don't seem to be immortal?"

Upon hearing this, the Earth God couldn't help but smile bitterly. Though puzzled why Lu Ren didn't know such simple common sense, he still didn't dare act rashly and answered honestly.

"Even Immortals face three disasters and five calamities. If you can dodge and withstand them, you naturally leap beyond the Three Realms and aren't tangled in the five elements. But I, an old man, just performed many good deeds during my life, gaining favor from the Celestial Court to become an Earth God.

Strictly speaking, it's just a rank of Ghost Immortal. Even though the Celestial Court grants authority to delay the three disasters and five calamities from descending upon me, as my strength doesn't improve, I will inevitably decay."

"What is the Cultivation Technique you are practicing?"

The Earth Spirit was slightly startled, thinking, with your strength so formidable, you're actually interested in my dreadful Spell, which is somewhat unprecedented.

Mumbling to himself, the Earth Spirit took out a Jade Scroll from his bosom and handed it to Lu Ren, saying, "This is the Thick Earth Immortal Technique of the Celestial Court, the most basic Cultivation Method for all Earth Gods."

Seeing how readily the Earth Spirit handed it over, Lu Ren understood that this Thick Earth Immortal Technique might already be quite common in the Celestial Court.

Those truly inherited wouldn't spare this Immortal Technique a glance even if it was thrown at their feet.

But for Lu Ren, it was indeed a worthy reference.

Lu Ren didn't mind the Earth Spirit and immediately sat down to study it carefully.

This Thick Earth Immortal Technique is indeed the most fundamental Immortal Technique. Perhaps it is a rare Immortal Technique in the mortal realm, but for Lu Ren, just a few glances and a bit of pondering, he understood the pinnacle this Thick Earth Immortal Technique could reach.

The so-called universal applicability just barely reaches the Human Immortal Realm.

The full text describes nurturing essence, refining Qi, storing the spirit, harmonizing the dragon and tiger, capturing Kan and replenishing Li.

In summary, from the crown of the head's Muddy Pellet Palace down to the sole's Yongquan Point. Circulating the kidney's water into the Floral Pool, supplementing the Dantian with gentle warmth. Infant and maiden in Yin-Yang harmony, lead and mercury meet to divide the sun and moon. Balancing the Li Dragon and Kan Tiger, the sacred turtle absorbs the Golden Crow's blood.

Put simply, it says Yin and Yang unite to understand the Way, only reaching the Human Immortal Realm.

Moreover, this Cultivation Technique lacks many powerful Magical Techniques, only concentrating on life cultivation.

"Isn't there a higher level of Cultivation Method?"

Lu Ren spoke casually, placing the Jade Scroll aside while activating the Immortal Technique, drawing strands of Spiritual Qi into himself, which his powerful physique instantly absorbed and refined into Witch Power.

Feeling the changes within himself, Lu Ren's brows relaxed. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of this world indeed has its rules. It wasn't that he couldn't absorb it before, but it was actually a crude and inefficient utilization of the Spiritual Qi.

Now, the Thick Earth Immortal Technique improved it significantly. He believed that more advanced Great Celestial Immortal Spells, Nine Revolutions Profound Skill, and Thirty-Sixth Grade Golden Immortal Technique among high-level Cultivation Methods would further enhance the Qi manipulation to a deeper level.

At this moment, he heard the Earth Spirit reply, "This is the Cultivation Method from Ghost Immortal to Human Immortal. If one day, I shed my Ghost Immortal status and achieve Immortal Human status, I will report to the Celestial Court, and they'll grant a higher-level Spell for me to cultivate."

Lu Ren nodded slightly, not asking further. What he wanted to know was already clear, and any deeper insights, the Earth Spirit was unaware of. He merely sighed at the strict hierarchical levels of this world, completely pyramid in structure.

Furthermore, due to the Celestial Court ruling the Three Realms with the laws of Heaven and Earth involved, it's even more chilling.

He thought of going to see the Celestial Court, possibly discovering the Peach Garden.

As for the consequences, Lu Ren didn't think too much; he wasn't a person of this world and wasn't daunted by any power.

Though he was an Earth Immortal, he wasn't of this world, and his strength was unmatched by anyone in this Journey to the West World.

Watching Lu Ren leave, the Earth Spirit wiped the sweat off his forehead. His back was entirely soaked, making his heart restless, fearing this uninvited guest would transform into a God of Massacre and destroy him at will.

As for reporting to the Celestial Court.

What a joke; if such a powerful figure had truly escaped from Celestial Court's pursuit, it would undoubtedly lead to his own death. It would be better to act as if he knew nothing at all.

Leaving the Earth God Temple, Lu Ren hadn't walked far when he saw Sun Wukong, dressed in Traveler's Clothes and holding the Golden Cudgel, casually sitting on a nearby rock taking a nap.

Most importantly, the faint aura Lu Ren exuded clashed with this world. Coupled with his prior inquiries which were entirely common knowledge.

This made the Earth Spirit realize this figure might just be a Demon from a secluded place or an Outer Heaven Evil Demon.

Clearly, his origin was terrifying. A little Ghost Immortal like him getting involved would likely result in being obliterated.

If the sky were to fall, naturally, there would be a taller person to bear it. He needed only to manage his own patch of land well.

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow; this fellow was completely headed for him.

After some silence, Lu Ren spoke aloud, "Could it be that before me now stands the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?"

Sun Wukong's ears twitched slightly, but then, he stopped pretending to be asleep. He got up with a smug smile, saying, "You guessed it right, kid. Good eyesight you've got. I did say this title would become more and more imposing."

Lu Ren gave a slight smile, saying, "I wonder what brings the Great Sage here?"

Sun Wukong sized up Lu Ren with a peculiar grin, saying, "I was curious, though, about why your aura stands out so much. Turns out you're an Outer Heaven Evil Demon."

Outer Heaven Evil Demon?

Lu Ren pondered a moment but was not surprised. His entire strength indeed didn't belong to this world. It was like suddenly inserting a JOJO art style into a heartwarming youth anime, mismatched to the extreme.

Even if he restrained his aura, it couldn't stop his noticeable incongruity.

Ordinary cultivators might see nothing wrong, but in the eyes of these individuals, it was utterly revealed.

Lu Ren glanced at the long-missing Golden Cuff on Sun Wukong's forehead, chuckling lightly, "After your journey to the west, having been conferred by Tathagata as the Victorious Fighting Buddha, you must be enjoying the glory. Why not settle in Western Heaven as Buddha and Founder, enjoying blessings? Why seek me out?"

Upon Lu Ren mentioning the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong's eyes hinted at some disdain, for despite his carefree nature, through all his experiences, he understood this western journey was filled with darkness.
