Journey to the West: The Demon Emperor

Chapter 161: The Secret Technique of “Spiritual Ascension”

The fragments of the innate spiritual treasure are indeed of no great value to other people until all the fragments are collected.

But this is not the case for Li Yang.

At the beginning, Li Yang accidentally obtained the supreme inheritance left by Zulong - "Zulong Sutra" in the deepest part of "Longmen Secret Realm".

Although Li Yang had already established his own foundation in cultivation at that time, he did not choose to practice the fundamental method to condense the "Dragon Ball".

However, the combat skills, formations, and secret techniques recorded in the "Ancestral Dragon Sutra" provided great help to Li Yang.

And in the "Zulong Jing", there is a record of a top secret technique called "Spirit Ascension".

This technique can be regarded as the culmination of Zulong's comprehension of the "art of refining weapons" and a summary of his own insights.

Its function is to improve the quality of innate spiritual treasures.

Of course, the innate spiritual treasure, as the "essence" born from heaven and earth, cannot be easily improved.

The art of "ascending the spirit" can improve the quality of innate spiritual treasures. Its principle is nothing more than "one increase and one decrease".

That is: to improve it by devouring the essence of other innate spiritual treasures.

Even if there is only a one-level difference between innate spiritual treasures, the difference in power they can exert is enormous.

In this way, in order to complete the upgrade of an innate spiritual treasure, at least more than ten innate spiritual treasures of the same level need to be consumed.

Of course, if you want to upgrade a low-grade innate spiritual treasure to a medium-grade one, you can directly consume a medium-grade innate spiritual treasure.

However, even the powerful dragon clan cannot afford such losses.

Therefore, after the secret technique of "Spirit Ascension" was accidentally created by Zulong, it was shelved and not even any related inheritance was left within the dragon clan.

It was not until Li Yang obtained the complete "Ancestral Dragon Sutra" in the "Longmen Secret Realm" that this secret art was able to see the light of day again.

The reason why Li Yang asked for all the fragments of innate spiritual treasures in the "Dragon Clan Treasure House" was of course for his own companion spiritual treasure - Liantian Ding.

Li Yang has always been very satisfied with the powerful effect of his companion magic treasure.

However, it must be admitted that the grade of "Lian Tian Ding" is still a bit lower than the other innate spiritual treasures on Li Yang's body.

After all, the appearance of "Lian Tian Ding" was an accident.

It is merely the virtual form of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Ding, which has been fused with a ray of "innate immortal spiritual light" bestowed by Heaven because Li Yang embarked on the path of transformation into an innate creature. Only then can it complete the transformation from virtual to real and become Li Yang's companion spiritual treasure.

Therefore, although the "Lian Tian Ding" is extremely powerful, it is inherently flawed compared to those inferior innate spiritual treasures nurtured by heaven and earth.

At this moment, Li Yang wanted to rely on the secret technique of "Spirit Ascension" to let the "Lian Tian Ding" devour the remaining essence in those innate spiritual treasures.

We don't ask for complete advancement, but at least we can make up for the missing foundation and prepare for future advancement.

After leaving the "Dragon Treasure House", Li Yang asked the Dragon King of the East China Sea for a secret place for retreat on the pretext of wanting to go into seclusion.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea would certainly not refuse Li Yang's request, and he immediately led him into the most secure retreat place in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

This time, Li Yang followed the West Sea Dragon King to the East Sea Dragon Palace, not only for the "Dragon Treasure House", but also to enter the "Dragon Tomb" in order to advance his own dragon bloodline.

Therefore, Li Yang was not in a hurry to leave at this time.

After opening the formation in the retreat place, Li Yang took out a fragment of the innate spiritual treasure, and used all his strength to activate the "Lian Tian Ding", supplemented by his own "Ben Ming Dragon Flame", to try to refine the innate essence in the fragment. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Li Yang tried, he was unable to shake the essence in the spiritual treasure fragment.

"call out!!!"

Take the fragments out of the "Lian Tian Ding" and place them in the palm of your hand.

Looking at the burnt red fragments in his hand, Li Yang frowned.

He thought that relying on his "natal dragon flame" formed by the fusion of two innate true fires, plus the terrifying refining ability of the "Lian Tian Ding", it would be enough to refine the innate origin in these spiritual treasure fragments.

Unexpectedly, although these innate spiritual treasures have been broken, their innate status has not been lost and they are extremely stubborn.

Li Yang thought to himself that if he wanted to successfully refine these fragments, he would have to upgrade his "Natural Dragon Flame" to a higher level.

At that time, he would go to the "Sun Fire Sea" in "Tanggu" and set up a "Nine Dragons Refining Heaven Array" with the "Refining Heaven Cauldron" as the center of the array. Only then would it be possible to completely refine these spiritual treasure fragments and turn them into nutrients for the "Refining Heaven Cauldron".

Now that the refining method was decided, Li Yang was no longer impatient and put the matter aside for the time being.

After all, the current "Liantian Ding" is enough for Li Yang for the time being.

However, although he had decided to ignore the spiritual treasure fragments for the time being, Li Yang was not in a hurry to go out immediately.

He planned to take this opportunity to refine the twelve "Dinghai Pearls" he had just obtained.

As an innate spiritual treasure that once made a great name in the "Battle of the Gods", the "Dinghai Pearl" is worthy of its great reputation.

Each of the twelve "Dinghai Pearls" seems to contain a vast ocean and is extremely heavy.

A random blow was like a sea crashing down upon him, so terrifying.

At the same time, the "Dinghaizhu" also has the ability to restrain water-based magical powers. For the dragon clan, which is the master of the water system, it can be said to be a natural nemesis.

However, after Li Yang initially refined the "Dinghai Pearl", he did not realize how it would help him practice the great magical power of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm".

"The reason why Randeng was able to transform the 'Dinghai Pearl' he had taken from Zhao Gongming into the so-called 'Twenty-Four Gods' was because of the 'Qiankun Ruler' in his hand."

"The Ruler of Heaven and Earth... The Power of Heaven and Earth..."

Looking at the "Dinghaizhu" that he had taken into his body and was absorbing and exhaling the "innate water energy" to nourish the "water energy" in his body, Li Yang fell into deep thought.

Qian and Kun, Qian is yang, represents heaven, and represents father; Kun is yin, represents earth, and represents mother.

The power of Qiankun can also be called "the power of heaven and earth."

Alone yang cannot produce, alone yin cannot grow, alone yin cannot grow, the universe must be twisted to make yin and yang blend, only then can the "power of heaven and earth" be generated.

Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but turn his gaze to the "Innate Yin and Yang Origin" that had been sealed in the deepest part of the "Lian Tian Ding".

Ever since Li Yang snatched it from the golden-winged Roc, it has been placed in the "Lian Tian Ding" to allow it to slowly breed the "innate yin and yang energies."

"The power of heaven and earth... the origin of yin and yang... the Dinghai Pearl... the twenty-four gods... the Buddha kingdom in the palm of your hand..."

For a moment, Li Yang fell into deep thought with a dull look in his eyes, muttering to himself.

However, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if endless mysteries were brewing in them.
