Immortals break through a layer of cultivation every thousand years, this has been the rule throughout the immortal realm for billions of years. Even the most supreme geniuses would take 286 years to break through just one layer!
And Yang Hong, before him?
He had ascended for less than 1200 years in total, had only formally cultivated for over a hundred years, and was still practicing lower realm techniques. Yet, he had broken through eighteen layers of cultivation consecutively!
If this news were to spread, it would absolutely cause the entire immortal realm to boil over!
Those old monsters sealed for tens of thousands of years would madly come out and possess Yang Hong!
"Hehe~ This has to be thanks to Sect Master Lan Shuang. When she cultivated with me, she passed on a lot of cultivation to me."
"Is~ Is that so?"
Jiang Wenjun still stammered, disbelieving.
They, as disciples, knew the sect master's character all too well. Not only was she stingy and cheap, but she also liked to hoard good things. How could she possibly have transferred cultivation to Yang Hong?
"Techniques."
Seeing Jiang Wenjun still in a daze, Yang Hong reminded her again.
"Oh~ Okay~ Yes, I have jade slips here. Senior Yang, please take a look."
Jiang Wenjun was also sharp. She no longer called him "Yang Hong" but addressed him as "Senior Yang."
She quickly took out a small pile of jade slips from her storage ring and presented them to Yang Hong. Whether they were useful or not, she gave them to him first.
Yang Hong scanned them with his divine sense. There were indeed quite a few, as many as 28. A mere ordinary disciple whose name he didn't even remember had so many technique jade slips. This Frost Snow Sect still had some foundation.
He casually summoned a jade slip, extended his divine sense into it, and began to read.
All 28 were indeed technique jade slips. Immortal realm techniques were also divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, and then further into four quality levels: Supreme, High, Middle, and Low.
The introductions to their power and effects were similar to those in the Taiyuan Realm, with threefold increases.
The Frost Snow Sect's main cultivation technique, "Profound Ice Immortal Art," was a Profound-grade, Middle-tier technique. The introduction stated it could cultivate to the seventh stage of Immortality, the Great Luo Profound Immortal realm. However, the jade slip in Jiang Wenjun's hand could only cultivate to the Profound Immortal realm.
Furthermore, the "Profound Ice Immortal Art" was a Yin-attribute technique, suitable for females to cultivate but not for males.
In addition, there were seven Profound-grade, Low-tier techniques, all of which were Yin-attribute. There wasn't a single ordinary technique with the Five Elements attribute.
The remaining twenty techniques were all Yellow-grade, High-tier, Yang-attribute techniques.
"Senior Yang, due to the cultivation of Immortal Venerable Xuanyin, most of the Yang energy in the Xuanyin Domain has been absorbed. Therefore, Immortal Venerable Xuanyin made these twenty Yellow-grade, High-tier techniques freely available to everyone, and required all to cultivate them.
In truth, she merely wanted the cultivators of the Xuanyin Domain to provide her with Yang energy."
Seeing Yang Hong frowning and shaking his head, Jiang Wenjun, with great foresight, immediately explained.
"Does your Frost Snow Sect not have Five Elements attribute cultivation techniques?"
"There should be, but we ordinary disciples can't even properly cultivate Yin-attribute techniques, let alone have the time to cultivate other attribute techniques. Why don't you bring up your Martial Aunt? She definitely has some."
"Hehe~"
Yang Hong gave Jiang Wenjun a knowing chuckle, letting her ponder it herself.
Before he was confident he could defeat Lou Xue, he wouldn't bother bringing her up, unless he intended to kill her the moment she was brought out.
He glanced at Jiang Wenjun and said, "Build a simple house a hundred zhang away. We will settle down by this Ascension Pool from now on."
"Settle down~ Yes, yes, yes!"
Hearing "settle down," tears immediately streamed down Jiang Wenjun's face. Her fleeting thought of using her Martial Aunt to control Yang Hong instantly vanished.
Over the past hundred years, she had absorbed Yang Hong's Yang energy twice, the memories of which were deeply etched in her mind, often recalled in the dead of night.
Now that Yang Hong spoke of settling down, she became immediately excited, her legs felt a bit weak, though she wasn't sure if it was due to soaking in the Ascension Fluid or something else.
After dismissing Jiang Wenjun, Yang Hong began to summon the [System] in his mind, attempting to get it to merge the techniques.
Unfortunately, after being tempered and refined by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the [System]'s functions had become much more singular.
Although the system could not merge techniques, after its refinement, Yang Hong's comprehension of techniques had also greatly increased.
In just a day and a night, he finished comprehending all 20 Yang-attribute techniques.
"The creators of these techniques had a clear objective: to have other cultivators absorb Yin-attribute spiritual energy, then circulate the techniques, compress the Yin energy to make it extremely Yin, giving birth to Yang energy.
But these 20 techniques all have a fatal flaw: the Yang energy naturally dissipates, directly dispersing into the heavens and earth."
"This is a farming technique! It directly uses countless immortals as crops, letting them cultivate Yang energy and disperse it into the world, which is then absorbed by that so-called Immortal Venerable Xuanyin."
After comprehending these techniques, Yang Hong immediately saw the problem. These techniques treated immortals as leeks, and he would never cultivate them.
At this moment, Jiang Wenjun walked over with a flushed face and said.
"Senior Yang, the house is built. I've also set up a new jade bed, a Grade Two immortal artifact jade bed made of warm jade."
Saying this, Jiang Wenjun looked at Yang Hong with anticipation.
Alright, the disciples of the Frost Snow Sect all had peculiar flirtatious traits. Yang Hong suspected it was caused by the "Profound Ice Immortal Art."
"Let's go, shall we try that immortal artifact jade bed?"
Yang Hong did not stand on ceremony. After ascending, his experiences had made him somewhat more open about such matters, and he had some ideas he wanted to test.
Although the disciples of the Frost Snow Sect did not cultivate Five Elements techniques, they still practiced Five Elements spells, and were very proficient in Earth-attribute spells and divine abilities at least.
In just one day, Jiang Wenjun had constructed a small courtyard with two entrances and ten rooms. The main bedroom at the back was very spacious, about four to five zhang wide.
In the true north corner of the room was a massive jade bed, three zhang wide and one zhang long, occupying almost a quarter of the room. A large red gauze curtain hung over the jade bed.
Around the room were a dressing table, a bathing pool, tables, chairs, and other furnishings. The floor was also paved with jade, resembling the luxurious manor of a mortal landlord.
Jiang Wenjun had truly put in effort.
"Senior~ Allow this disciple to serve you."
Saying this, Jiang Wenjun stepped forward to help Yang Hong with his clothes.
Yang Hong did not refuse. Soon, with a gasp from Jiang Wenjun, his sword and boots were off.
However, he gently held back Jiang Wenjun, who was starting to move restlessly, and began to circulate the Yellow-grade immortal techniques one by one. At the same time, his Law of Creation also began to manifest in the immortal realm for the first time.
"Oh~ Ah~ This~ This is the Law, the Law of Creation!"
Jiang Wenjun felt the law spreading from beneath her, encompassing her entire body. She couldn't help but tremble all over, and then her body went limp. She couldn't hold on any longer.
However, she quickly rallied herself and hurriedly circulated the "Profound Ice Immortal Art" to cultivate as well.
Meanwhile, the 20 Yang-attribute techniques appeared together in Yang Hong's mind. With the help of the Law of Creation and the [System], they began to deconstruct and reassemble.
Countless Yin-attribute spiritual energies mixed with a wisp of Ascension Fluid's aura rushed into Jiang Wenjun's body, and her cultivation began to skyrocket.
Earth Immortal Layer Eight ~ Earth Immortal Layer Nine ~ Heavenly Immortal Layer One!
In just three months, Jiang Wenjun's cultivation had recovered to the Heavenly Immortal Layer One. If this cultivation speed were to be revealed, she too would become a delicacy for those old monsters.
"Enough~ Enough~ Senior Yang, enough, stop now."
Feeling a full and satisfied sensation in her dantian, Jiang Wenjun couldn't help but ask Yang Hong to stop cultivating. She was truly too full; she couldn't take it anymore.
"Be quiet! This is just the beginning."
Interrupted, Yang Hong glared at her and continued to circulate his techniques. He was currently creating a new technique!
