Su Que, while flying in the sky, released his spirit to observe the terrain below.
He saw a secluded cave in a deep mountain valley, with no other cultivators around.
So, he descended, his body passing through the clouds and mists, flying straight into that cave.
Once in the depths of the cave, he imdiately waved his hand, releasing a stream of gang qi, sweeping away the dust on the ground.
Then he floated to that spot, directly sitting cross-legged in mid-air, slowly descending.
As he landed, he took out the storage pouches he had collected earlier, placing them in front of him.
He knew that these storage pouches contained secret manuals, magical treasures, magical artifacts, celestial dicine, and elixirs.
Because he had acquired the mories of those cultivators, the secret manuals were no longer useful to him.
What the cultivators knew, he also knew.
And as for the magical treasures and artifacts, he currently had no use for them.
Because the martial arts techniques he was proficient in were the Seven Injuries Fist and Celestial Deford Foot, neither of which required magical treasures or artifacts.
His Demon Saber, however, could be used to perform his techniques.
But none of these magical treasures and artifacts were suitable.
Su Que focused all his attention on the celestial dicine and elixirs.
Compared to the herbs of the small world, the dicinal properties of celestial dicine were purer, so most celestial dicines didn’t need to be used for alchemy and could be consud directly.
And the elixirs of the Upper Realm were made by combining and concentrating various celestial dicines using more advanced alchemy techniques.
’With these celestial dicines and elixirs, it’ll be enough for to cultivate for a while.’
He knew that recently the Spirit Mountain Divine Buddhas were searching for him intensely.
He could hide here for a while to cultivate before seeking news about the rging Realm technique.
However, he knew the Disguise Skill, so he thought even if he went out openly, these Spirit Mountain Divine Buddhas might not be able to find him.
Su Que pondered for a while, then cald his heart spirit.
He took out five sea-like blue lotus flowers from a storage pouch and put them in his mouth, chewing.
These were celestial dicines called "Earth Sea Lotus," taken from the Baggy Arhat’s storage pouch.
Consuming them during cultivation could increase cultivation speed.
Additionally, they had a certain nourishing effect on the body.
While Su Que chewed, a sweet and glutinous fragrance filled his mouth.
He swallowed the juice and residue of the "Earth Sea Lotus," along with his saliva.
Imdiately, a warm current surged in his abdon like ocean waves, spreading throughout his body.
Su Que then focused his mind to cultivate the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
The Circulation of the Six Void Skill, originating from the Celestial Sect in the Unclaid Land of the Upper Realm, was a Lower Level Extremist Technique.
The Upper Realm divided various cultivation techniques into certain levels.
These levels were Mortal Technique, Desperate Technique, Heaven-Reaching Technique, Great Daoist Skill, and Supre Skill.
From the mories of the Arhat and Vajra, he knew that they also practiced Desperate Techniques.
So weaker Bodhisattvas also practiced Desperate Techniques.
Other Bodhisattvas mostly practiced Heaven-Reaching Techniques.
The Arhat and Vajra heard that so of the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain practiced Heaven-Reaching Techniques, and so practiced Great Daoist Skills.
After all, higher level techniques were not only rarer than lower level techniques but also more difficult to cultivate.
So, even if soone achieved the fruit position of a Buddha at Spirit Mountain, they might not be able to practice Great Daoist Skills.
And Supre Skills were only legendary in the Upper Realm.
In the mories of the Arhat and Vajra, Supre Skills were extrely rare in the Upper Realm, possibly only existing in Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court, though so ancient immortals might have them.
They believed that on Spirit Mountain, perhaps only the Spirit Mountain Buddha Tathagata practiced Supre Skills.
Among Su Que’s inner strength techniques, only the Circulation of the Six Void Skill and the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique reached the level of Desperate Techniques.
Among them, the Circulation of the Six Void Skill was a Lower Level Extremist Technique, and the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique was a Middle Level Extremist Technique.
The Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique only needed to continuously absorb the essence qi and spirit of cultivators to complete the level and technique advancent without much effort in cultivation.
So what he needed to cultivate daily was the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
’From the mories of the Red Sound Fire Vajra and several Arhats, I’ve obtained a few demon skills with side effects.’
’However, these demon skills are only at the level of Desperate Techniques.’
’Currently, my Circulation of the Six Void Skill has not reached a state that requires extensive cultivation to progress, so there’s no need to cultivate these demon skills.’
Su Que closed his eyes, practicing with the Qi Circulation Technique of the Circulation of the Six Void Skill.
The Eight-Colored True Qi representing heaven, earth, mountain, lake, wind, thunder, water, and fire surged in his ridians, instantly strengthening and coursing through his ridians.
...
Su Que remained in the mountains, oblivious to ti.
He roughly guessed the passage of five days inside the cave based on the alternating light of day and night outside.
After reaching the rging Realm, he no longer needed to eat, drink, or expel waste, able to sit in one place until death.
Cultivators at the rging Realm have a lifespan of at least several thousand years.
He knew from the mories of the Mountain Master Wu Haidong of "Luohong Mountain" in the Unclaid Land and the Lineage Master Zhuge Liancheng of the "Valley River Mountain Range."
Upper Realm loose cultivators experience scarcity of celestial dicine and elixirs, often engaging in hundreds or even more years of hardship to advance their cultivation and technique mastery.
So most loose cultivators actually spend more ti in cultivation than Arhats and Vajras do.
Unfortunately, Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court not only draw from the Lower Realm but also occasionally "sweep" the Unclaid Land.
So loose cultivators who closed themselves off for hundreds of years, finally breaking through, may find themselves captured and forced into service by Spirit Mountain and the Celestial Court soon after erging.
