Stronger from Earth-Chapter 79: Reincarnated Cultivator

"The Mixed Element Stance focuses on the intent of ’Mixed Element,’ ultimately reaching a state of being immovable like a mountain. What does it mean to be immovable like a mountain? It’s like a towering tree, with roots penetrating deep into the earth, unshaken by wind and rain.

You can imagine yourselves as such a tree, with a gentle breeze brushing against your face, breathing in the air, exchanging matter with the body, continuously gaining every moment.

Your feet, like roots, contact the earth. Your legs are strong and powerful, gripping the ground tightly, absorbing nutrients from it..."

Wang Xuan was hypnotizing these students. The words from his mouth seemed to carry magic, immersing them in the world he was constructing, imagining themselves as towering trees.

"After practicing the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture, one can easily change one’s aura, making others unconsciously trust them. Once the psychological defenses are broken, hypnosis is easy," he thought to himself.

Hypnotizing these students easily allowed them to deeply understand the Mixed Element Stance, practicing the Posture Stance in their best state. Even if they’ve only grasped a sliver of the true intent of being immovable like a mountain, they will benefit greatly.

Even this sliver, brought by post-hypnotic suggestion, vastly improved their efficiency in the Posture Stance, and they reap great rewards, rapidly increasing the strength of their tendons and bones.

Practicing the Posture Stance like this for a month, their tendons and bones, and strength, could grow by at least ten percent. With results so evident, Wang Xuan, as their instructor, had accomplished his duty, providing what the students desired.

Under prolonged states of hypnosis, they naturally experienced subtle increases in the level of the Mixed Element Stance.

Looking at the hypnotized students, Wang Xuan knew they wouldn’t wake for a few hours, allowing him time for his own endeavors.

Guiding these students was merely a side task, consuming little energy, as they were not his disciples.

Similarly, these students served as great experimental subjects for him to improve his application of mental power and enhance his hypnotic abilities.

After a day of cultivating the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield, the progress was significant. Within half a month, the transformation of the body could be complete. Meanwhile, the consumption of qi and blood would not be small, requiring ample nutritional supplementation.

"Forget it, half a month is too long. I need to enter the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm in five days; I don’t have time to wait."

Wang Xuan spent a long time studying the theory of the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield, hoping to practice Meridian Opening and Innate level parts without obstacles. If the theory is problematic and he cannot figure out how to practice, then the accelerator is unusable.

And as long as the theory holds and meets the acceleration conditions, he can instantly enhance the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield to its peak in the Otherworld.

He did worry about improving too rapidly now, only to be unable to enter the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm due to excessive cultivation level.

During meditation, he activated the accelerator.

"Martial Immortal Visualization Image: Minor Achievement (acceleratable), accelerate?"

"Accelerate!"

Wang Xuan chose to accelerate, not elevating his realm all at once but instead incrementally, every few minutes.

"Don’t speed up too much lest you stand out. Pushing the Visualization technique to its limit within a day is too eager; two days should suffice."

He had his considerations, intending to push the Visualization Image to its limit before entering the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm. The perfect fusion of the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield would further enhance his physique and defense.

Once completed, he could heighten the level of the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture, merging Glazed Realm and True Demon Realm, to ultimately achieve Great Success at the Divine Demon Realm.

Regarding his cultivation level, he still intended to elevate it in the Otherworld later; for now, delving into the Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture and the Blood Exchange level’s Cultivation Techniques was enough as theoretical groundwork.

To truly elevate his cultivation level, as long as he meets the accelerator’s conditions, he could reach Bone Marrow Refining Realm, perhaps even Blood Exchange Realm, within a minute.

Firm in resolve, he was in no rush.

While activating the accelerator, he consumed Violent Dragon Potions, bottle after bottle, as if they were just drinking water.

Two hours passed, and at a distance, the trash bin was piled high with empty potion bottles.

"Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield 5th Floor (acceleratable), accelerate?"

"Accelerate!"

"Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield 6th Floor (acceleratable), accelerate?"

"Accelerate!"

Accelerating every few minutes, Wang Xuan’s physique improved steadily, his Spiritual Power gradually augmented, Heart Spirit robust, yet avoiding overly rapid bursts.

Continuing this way, by tomorrow, he’d reach his goal, transforming the physical form of the Golden Bell Shield’s Body Refining Realm into the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield’s Body Refining Realm, and push the Visualization Image to its limit, continuing with the Heart Spirit Demon Scripture.

After a satisfied belch, Wang Xuan used the restroom and then went for guidance from Elder He, listening to him talk about Bone Marrow Refining and Blood Exchange, even the practice theories of Meridian Opening and Innate Realm.

As a seasoned figure and True Immortal of profound insight, just a little guidance could save him months of effort.

"This expedition into the Otherworld yields great benefits as a pioneer, laying a solid foundation for the future, undisputed.

With enough fortune, you can grow rapidly, seize opportunities, transforming misfortune into safety and live long.

However, the most dangerous for pioneers is that you receive limited support and must accomplish much, surviving the sieges by Otherworld inhabitants, survival might be challenging.

"If the task fails, it doesn’t matter; the most important thing is to preserve one’s life. Only by staying alive can one hope to rise, understand?"

He the Sixth advised, and the trial he gave Wang Xuan was this journey to the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm: to survive and reach the Meridian Opening Realm.

He believed Wang Xuan could accomplish it; Wang Xuan had wandered alone in the past yet lived well, far surpassing those mountain gate disciples in resilience, with survival ability exceeding them by numerous times.

If he can’t survive this, it can only be said that fate is against him, further indicating that this journey to the Otherworld for the young talents will have a lamentably low survival rate.

Wang Xuan nodded: "Got it."

After seeking advice, he went back to instruct the trainees, who at that time were still in the Posture Stance, seemingly truly believing themselves to be towering trees.

Two to three hours in the Posture Stance, these youngsters showed no signs of fatigue, none of them trembling like they used to; on the contrary, their physical strength increased visibly.

The longer they stood in the stance, the stronger their bodies became without feeling tired, a state rarely achieved even by those who have practiced for years, but under Wang Xuan’s hypnosis, they experienced this realm early.

A divine aura enveloped one trainee, as Wang Xuan casually patted that person’s arm, discerning the condition of their tendons and bones.

Checking each one, these trainees didn’t give him much surprise; in fact, their foundation was quite ordinary—muscles were not strong enough.

The more diligent young Shi Lei, with relatively commendable perseverance, had the weakest foundation among them; poor nutrition impeded physical growth, and the strength of tendons and bones was inadequate.

Wang Xuan stood before He Lianshan, casually gave a pat, sensing a slight vibrancy—among the group, He Lianshan had the strongest tendons and bones.

Yet something puzzled him.

Wang Xuan pointed a finger at He Lianshan’s forehead, noticing the skin tremble, even goosebumps emerge—these reactions indicated the young man wasn’t hypnotized and his will remained clear.

"What’s your real name?" Wang Xuan asked.

"He Lianshan."

"Where are you from?" Wang Xuan inquired again.

"Guess?"

He Lianshan opened his eyes, stared directly at Wang Xuan, without a flicker, revealing no fear or awe in his eyes.

"Interesting."

Wang Xuan smiled, showing eight teeth—He Lianshan had indeed deceived him, or perhaps the young man had been masquerading well, pretending to be hypnotized all along.

Yet to not be hypnotized, and completely go unnoticed, was challenging—at least cultivators of the Bone Refining Realm would manifest signs of confusion, show struggles.

Clearly, He Lianshan didn’t possess a cultivation level of the Bone Refining Realm; thus, there was one reason: his soul was inherently powerful.

But this only made Wang Xuan more curious.

"Roar!" An outburst made He Lianshan’s heart leap, tension overtaking him.

Wang Xuan’s aura suddenly turned dark—his eyes seemed to encompass a world of death, slaughter, and destruction, instantly engulfing He Lianshan.

He Lianshan became dazed, face straining, trying to break free from the hypnosis, but Wang Xuan’s demeanor now radiated divine unusualness, his palm brushing the youth’s crown.

Divine brilliance enveloped him, Wang Xuan uttered the Buddhist Six-Word Mantra again: "Om! Ma! Ni! Pad! Me! Hum!"

The Buddhist Six-Word Mantra shattered all He Lianshan’s wary, fearful, hesitant, and rebellious thoughts, directly breaking down his mental defenses.

With vacant eyes, He Lianshan’s consciousness dazed like in a dream state, his brain’s alertness stopped functioning, leaving him undefended.

Wang Xuan spoke again: "What’s your real name?"

"He Lianshan." The youth’s voice lacked emotion, instinctively recalling the memory to answer.

"Why did you come to the Immortal Martial Combat Hall?" Wang Xuan asked.

The hypnotized youth replied: "I hope to amaze the Martial Arts Hall and get recommended to train at Immortal Martial Mountain." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Why go to Immortal Martial Mountain, is there a conspiracy?" Wang Xuan pursued.

Youth: "I need cultivation resources; Immortal Martial Mountain is the best choice."

Hearing this, Wang Xuan nodded slightly, realizing the youth had many thoughts but seemingly harboring no ill intentions.

"One last question, why weren’t you hypnotized by me?" Wang Xuan asked.

Upon hearing this question, the youth hesitated unlike his previous swift responses, showing signs of struggle and reluctance.

Eventually, he revealed his inner secret: "Because I’m a Reincarnated Cultivator, my soul is inherently strong."
