Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1576 Ancestor Ziyang's Invitation
After rectifying the family's conduct, Liu Changxu entered the weapon-refining room. This time, he was going to refine a defensive spiritual treasure called the Tribulation-Crossing Pearl for his wives, Huang Yuyao and Huang Yuqiang, to aid them in their tribulation-crossing.

Because he was very familiar with the crafting of such spiritual treasures, Liu Changxu only took half a year to craft twelve Tribulation-Crossing Pearls, six for each person, enough for them to use in their tribulations.

After receiving the Tribulation-Crossing Pearl from their husbands, the two sisters, Huang Yuyao and Huang Yuqiang, entered the cave to begin their secluded cultivation to break through to the Mahayana stage.

These two cave dwellings were specially prepared by Liu Changxu for them to undergo seclusion and tribulation, and they are located not far from Dengxian Peak.

After arranging for Huang Yuyao and the other two women to go into seclusion, Liu Changxu finally had some free time. Although news of the Blood God Cult committing evil deeds through blood sacrifices kept coming in, he didn't want to do anything as long as the Blood God Cult didn't provoke him.

However, his leisure time is only relative; in reality, he still has several pressing problems to solve.

First, there was the problem of cultivation methods. The cultivation method he practiced, the Red Lotus Immortal Scripture, could only be cultivated to the Great Vehicle Perfection. Therefore, after he advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, he had no cultivation methods to practice.

There are generally four ways to solve this problem: first, join a very powerful sect and obtain the necessary cultivation techniques from that sect; second, purchase cultivation techniques from high-end auctions or from others; third, explore secret realms and dangerous places to obtain cultivation techniques; and fourth, comprehend the cultivation techniques on your own.

Each of these four approaches has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Taking the first approach as an example, with his strength, joining a powerful sect would not be difficult. However, the problem is that as someone who joins a sect halfway through life, even if he can obtain the corresponding cultivation techniques from the sect, their quality will often not be very high; moreover, once he accepts the sect's cultivation techniques, he will inevitably be bound by the sect and serve it, which comes at a considerable cost.

The second and third methods often depend on chance, come at a high cost, and do not necessarily guarantee the quality of the techniques; they are subject to great uncertainty.

As for the fourth method, creating one's own cultivation technique through intuitive understanding of heaven and earth, it requires extremely high talent, sufficient patience, and a profound comprehension of the Great Dao, and also takes a very long time. However, the advantage is that the cultivation technique created by oneself is most suited to one's own path. Therefore, in the cultivation world, many high-level cultivators tend to prefer creating their own cultivation techniques.

After careful consideration, Liu Changxu ultimately decided to create his own cultivation method.

However, creating a cultivation method is by no means a matter of one's own doing. It requires referring to many existing cultivation methods and combining them with one's own cultivation level and the characteristics of one's path in order to have a chance of success.

Currently, Liu Changxu only possesses the "Blood God Immortal Scripture," a cultivation technique that allows him to reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, which he obtained from Tu Hai, the fourth elder of the Blood God Sect. However, this technique belongs to the unorthodox path, and its usefulness for him is extremely limited.

However, Liu Changxu had made up his mind to deduce and create his own cultivation method, and he was determined to persevere despite all the difficulties and dangers.

He knew that if he wanted to truly stand at the pinnacle of the immortal realm, he had to forge his own path. All the existing cultivation methods were created by predecessors based on their own cultivation experience and understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Ultimately, they bore the imprint of others and could never fully match his Dao heart and cultivation needs.

Only a cultivation technique forged by one's own hands can perfectly integrate with one's own spiritual roots, insights, and aspirations, becoming the foundation that supports one to overcome countless tribulations and reach the pinnacle.

Secondly, Liu Changxu needed to solve the problem of how to upgrade the spiritual veins of Yunxiao Mountain into low-grade immortal veins.

After advancing to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the ninth-grade superior spiritual vein of Yunxiao Mountain could no longer meet his cultivation needs.

To solve this problem, Liu Changxu either needs to seize a low-grade immortal vein or upgrade the spiritual vein of Yunxiao Mountain to a low-grade immortal vein.

For Liu Changxu, the best option to occupy a low-grade immortal vein that already has an owner is Zixiao Mountain, which is occupied by the Thunder Rhino Demon Immortal. However, Zixiao Mountain is located deep in the Great Wilderness, too far away from Yunxiao Mountain and the heartland of the human race. Even if he defeats the Thunder Rhino Demon Immortal and successfully occupies the mountain, it will be quite difficult for him to establish a foothold there.

In particular, he heard that this Thunder Rhino Demon Immortal not only had many Taiyi Demon Immortals as friends behind him, but also had a connection with a Daluo Demon Immortal, which made him have to be cautious.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Liu Changxu decided to upgrade the spiritual veins of Yunxiao Mountain into low-grade immortal veins.

The first step in this method is to set up a large array in the clouds that can gather immortal spiritual energy. Then, through long-term nurturing, the spiritual vein is transformed into an immortal vein.

As a formation master, given enough time, Liu Changxu is capable of crafting a formation that can gather immortal spiritual energy.

Besides the two issues mentioned above, Liu Changxu has many other problems to solve, and these are all things he must face and overcome in order to build a truly powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal-level force.

After sorting out these issues, Liu Changxu devoted his energy to the research and development of the Gathering Immortals Formation and the creation of its techniques.

However, this time he did not choose to go into seclusion. Instead, he studied formations and techniques while managing his clan, spending time with his family, and guiding his children in their cultivation, thus balancing both his cultivation and daily life.

After receiving guidance from their father, the Taiyi Golden Immortal, Liu Fujian and his children grew up very quickly, and their relationship with their father also deepened from estrangement to a more profound one.

Liu Changxu gradually got used to this warm and peaceful life, which was much more interesting than the tedious cultivation and fighting.

However, this life lasted for less than a year before it was completely disrupted by a special visitor.

That morning, Liu Changxu was sitting in the stands of the Cloud Palace's fighting arena, accompanied by his wives, quietly watching his children compete in magical duels.

This was a competition he specially arranged for his children, with a small competition every month and a large competition every year, intended to inspire their ambition.

To encourage his children to participate more enthusiastically, he prepared generous prizes for the winners of each competition, including spiritual fruits and pills, as well as magical artifacts and treasures, all of which his children needed for their cultivation.

This arena is quite large, with ten fighting arenas. Each arena is equipped with a spatial array, which can be set up to adjust the size of the arena as needed to isolate the aftershocks of the battle, which is sufficient to meet the needs of cultivators below the Mahayana stage.

On the ten fighting arenas, light and shadow intertwined, and magic roared as the children competed against each other.

While carefully observing his children's competition, Liu Changxu promptly offered his comments via telepathy, addressing any issues they revealed during the battles. He would point out flaws in their spellcasting or highlight deviations in their timing, his words concise yet to the point.

In order to gain their father's approval, the children all put in their best efforts, displaying all the skills they had diligently honed over the years.

But just as the contest was at its most intense, his wife Gao Xin rushed over to see him and said:

"My lord, a message has come from the Ziyang Immortal Sect, saying that the Ziyang Ancestor wishes to see you and invites you to the Ziyang Immortal Sect for a discussion!"
