First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 83 "Divine Soul Visualization Sutra"

After practicing for this period of time, he has gained something in the three major fields of alchemy, talisman, and forging.

The improvement in talisman is the fastest, only a little over 20 points of proficiency away from advancing to the second rank.

Alchemy comes next, while forging is the slowest progressing among the three secondary professions.

This is related to the frequency of Shen Mo's daily alchemy, talisman making, and forging.

Because he already has a large amount of materials needed for talisman making in his pocket, making talismans has become his most frequent activity recently.

"With the improvement of these secondary professions, my efficiency in earning spirit stones has increased significantly."

"However, it is still not enough to offset the consumption of cultivation resources."

Shen Mo muttered to himself and opened another panel.

[Master: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation Technique: "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" Initial Insight (384/1000)

"Primordial Qi Technique" Proficiency (3874/4000)]

[Martial Arts: "Supreme Clear Sword Technique" Proficiency (3153/16000)]

[Light Body Immortal Technique: "Thunderous Steps" Proficiency (135/5000)]

[Body Cultivation Immortal Technique: "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" Elephant Body (57/100)]

This page records the progress bars of the cultivation techniques, martial arts, and immortal techniques that Shen Mo has practiced.

During this period of time, he successfully advanced "Thunderous Steps" to the stage of mastery, greatly increasing his speed in battle.

In addition, what Shen Mo pays the most attention to is the progress of "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" cultivation.

This body cultivation technique has the most obvious effect on improving his combat power.

But practicing this technique requires a large amount of cultivation resources, demon pills, demon corpses, and spirit pills that can enhance vitality.

The five Earth Element Pills given by the peak master allowed Shen Mo to raise the experience bar of the Elephant Body to the range of (40/100).

And during these days, Shen Mo sold alchemy and talisman making products and obtained a total of 283 low-grade spirit stones, all of which were used to purchase demon pills and demon corpses in the market.

By devouring these things, Shen Mo's experience bar increased by seventeen points.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Mo's income is not only from his active alchemy and talisman making, but also from luck.

The special destiny [Adventure (Ordinary)] still has some passive effects.

During these days, Shen Mo specifically equipped this destiny and has already found two treasures within ten days.

One time, he found an ownerless purple crystal blood ginseng on the way back from the market to the sect.

The other time, he unexpectedly found a storage bag on his way to the Immortal Technique Tower.

There wasn't much inside, but the miscellaneous items combined were worth no more than twenty spirit stones.

Although this amount of spiritual medicine is just a drop in the bucket for the resources he needs for cultivation.

But after all, it was picked up for free, which made Shen Mo feel good for a while.

There is also progress in body cultivation techniques.

"Although the body cultivation technique has not made a direct breakthrough, it still has a significant enhancement effect."

The increase in experience of "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" has once again boosted Shen Mo's strength and physical fitness.

But the consumption is too great.

"It really is a bottomless pit."

The various cultivation materials purchased with 283 spirit stones only increased his experience bar by a dozen points.

It can be seen that if he wants to fully cultivate it, he still needs to work hard, diligently practice alchemy and talisman making, and earn more spirit stones every day.

"I hope I can complete the cultivation of the Elephant Body before stepping into the Mountain and River Realm, only twenty days left!"

Shen Mo thought to himself, sat cross-legged, and continued his breathing cultivation.

Time flies like water, and twenty days pass in an instant.

On this day, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, illuminating the earth.

Shen Mo sits in front of the cave, staring at the sun in the sky, and slowly says, "Divine Soul Visualization, manifest all things."

As he finishes speaking, the power of his divine soul gradually appears in his sea of consciousness.

In his mind, a scene of a blazing sun gradually emerges, shining in all directions.

"Boom!"

But soon, the scorching sun suddenly shook and eventually dissipated into fluorescent light.

The radiance of the sun extinguished, and the sea of consciousness once again fell into darkness and silence.

[You attempted to visualize the scorching sun and condense your soul image, but failed. Due to the failure to condense the soul image, your spirit and soul have been traumatized.]

"Failed again."

Shen Mo opened his eyes, his face filled with uncontrollable disappointment. "This is already the seventh time."

He took out a Soul Nourishing Pill from his Qiankun Bag, which was specifically used to heal soul injuries, and swallowed it.

The pain caused by the failure of the soul visualization gradually eased.

"This 'Soul Visualization Scripture' is truly difficult to cultivate."

The 'Soul Visualization Scripture' is a Profound Grade middle-level immortal technique.

This scripture is a soul-related scripture that specifically cultivates and strengthens the power of a cultivator's soul, teaching them how to use soul power to defend against enemies.

Ten days ago, Shen Mo went to the Immortal Technique Tower.

As a reward for the competition among newcomers, he obtained the qualification to choose a technique from the third floor of the Immortal Technique Tower.

After using his Heavenly Gaze to investigate, Shen Mo finally chose this technique and brought it back to cultivate.

The first hurdle in the entry of the 'Soul Visualization Scripture' is to choose an object for visualization and condense the soul image.

Once the soul image is formed, it will condense within the sea of consciousness, making the spirit and soul tangible.

The soul image that Shen Mo chose to visualize was the vast and scorching sun in the sky.

For the past seven days, he would sit on the cliff every day, waiting for the sun to appear, and then attempt to visualize and condense it.

But he had been defeated repeatedly and had not succeeded.

"Forget it, I'll go to the Mountain and River Realm today. I don't have time to continue preparing."

"I'll wait until the 'Soul Visualization Scripture' is released before practicing it."

Shen Mo stood up and opened his Destiny Panel.

[Master: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation Technique: 'Purple Mansion Heart Sutra' Initial Insight (514/1000)

'Tianyuan Gong' Proficiency (3874/4000)]

[Martial Arts: 'Supreme Clear Sword Technique' Profound Mastery (3752/16000)]

[Light Body Immortal Technique: 'Thunderous Steps' Proficiency (245/5000)]

[Body Cultivation Immortal Technique: 'Dragon Elephant Bloodthirsty Body' Elephant Body (87/100)]

[Soul Immortal Technique: 'Soul Visualization Scripture' (Not yet condensed)]

These were the results of his twenty days of seclusion and cultivation.

The 'Dragon Elephant Bloodthirsty Body' did not reach the stage of perfecting the Elephant Body as he had hoped before entering the Mountain and River Realm, let alone breaking through to the Dragon Body stage.

It was still far away.

"I still lack spirit stones."

Cultivating the 'Dragon Elephant Bloodthirsty Body' was like swallowing a golden beast.

No matter how many talismans and pills Shen Mo refined, and how many spirit stones he earned, he couldn't keep up with the speed of spending.

"I can only see if I can find some spiritual herbs to break through after entering the Mountain and River Realm."

Shen Mo thought to himself.

In the Mountain and River Realm, he would inevitably encounter many conflicts and battles, but in the first few days, he shouldn't come into conflict with opponents who were too powerful.

His strength should be enough to protect himself inside.

"You lazy creature, come with me to the Star Peak!"

As Shen Mo spoke, the spirit mouse resting in the cave quickly jumped out and leaped onto his shoulder.

"When we enter the Mountain and River Realm later, you have to work hard to find treasures for me."

Shen Mo said, taking out a piece of dried meat from his Qiankun Bag and stuffing it into the little creature's mouth.

Then, he waved his sleeve.

"Clang!"

The Long Sparrow Sword at his waist turned into a stream of light, floating about a foot in front of him.

Steadily stepping on the Long Sparrow Sword, Shen Mo flew out along the cliff and the sea of clouds, heading towards the Star Peak.
