Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

"Is it still a little short?"

Mu Zi's gaze lingered on Lin Dong. Now, the latter's Yuan Power and physical body were both perfected. If there was any shortcoming, it was his spiritual power.

The spiritual path of the Tianxuan Continent involves condensing the power in the Niwan Palace into a natal talisman, thus becoming a talisman master.

Not long ago, Lin Dong's natal talisman in his Niwan Palace split into two, allowing him to advance to the realm of a second-level talisman master.

An ordinary second-level talisman master is comparable to a Yuan power cultivator at the Lesser Yuan Dan realm. Even though Lin Dong's spiritual talent is extraordinary, and the natal talisman he condensed is more profound than that of ordinary people, making his spiritual strength no weaker than that of an ordinary third-level talisman master, he is still only close to the Lesser Perfection of the Yuan Dan realm.

Even with the methods of a talisman master, it might not be easy to defeat Wei Tong in a head-on battle. Compared to Lin Dong's powerful physical body and Yuan power, which are enough to defeat someone at the Creation Realm, his spiritual power seems rather "ordinary".

"For the next period of time, your focus in cultivation will be on spiritual power. Try to raise it to the perfect level as soon as possible," Mu Zi said meaningfully, looking at Lin Dong.

The sense she had just sensed was just a little off. If Lin Dong's mental strength had been slightly stronger, perhaps she would have already located the origin of that source, instead of being left helplessly gazing at it from afar.

"It might not be easy." Lin Dong frowned slightly.

Lin Dong clearly intended to make up for his shortcomings, but after all, he had only recently advanced to the second-level talisman master, and the breakthrough could not be rushed. You must know that a year ago, Lin Dong was still an outsider who knew nothing about spiritual power. Being able to condense his natal talisman in such a short time and enter the hall of talisman master was already considered a peerless genius in the eyes of outsiders. If he wanted to take it a step further, how could it be so simple?

"Let me see your natal talisman."

"Okay."

Lin Dong focused his mind on his Niwan Palace and summoned his natal talisman. The next moment, a stream of light shot out from between Lin Dong's eyebrows and landed in front of the two of them, transforming into a strange rune.

The runes floated in the air, rotating silently in a special way, sometimes turning into a vortex in front of Lin Dong, emitting a powerful suction force.

Mu Zi raised an eyebrow, and a strand of her black hair was lifted up, about to be sucked into the vortex. Fortunately, Lin Dong reacted quickly and controlled his natal talisman to move further away, thus avoiding a potential beating.

"Why are you hiding so far away? I'm not going to eat you," Mu Zi said gently.

Faced with the girl's soft-spoken attitude, Lin Dong felt a sense of wariness. After what had happened before, coupled with the slight difference in positioning the source, Miss Mu's mood was far from pleasant. Lin Dong suspected that if he were to offend her at this time, Miss Mu might take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"snort!"

Mu Zi glanced at Lin Dong, then reached out and gently beckoned, and the swirling talisman landed in her palm. Her clear eyes quietly gazed at the rune before her.

Lin Dong leaned closer and added, "I obtained this Ancient Vortex Talisman by chance. It's said to be a kind of natal spirit talisman that can devour the spiritual power of others and turn it into one's own."

Mu Zi declined to comment. A somewhat special talisman might be a rare opportunity in the eyes of the people of the Great Yan Dynasty, but in Mu Zi's view, the so-called natal talisman was nothing more than an ordinary talisman. From it, one could glimpse the cultivation method of spiritual power in the Tianxuan Continent.

"You do have some skill, but it's not strong enough for you right now."

Mu Zi casually tossed the ancient vortex talisman back to Lin Dong. After a moment of contemplation, she looked at him and said calmly, "Today, I will impart to you a method for tempering spiritual power. I hope you will cultivate it diligently."

Immediately, the girl lightly raised her slender finger and touched Lin Dong's brow, and a ray of light entered Lin Dong's spiritual platform.

boom!

Lin Dong's vision suddenly darkened, and his consciousness seemed to have arrived in an ancient and unchanging void, where boundless darkness enveloped the place, like the chaos before the creation of heaven and earth.

In the void, a towering divine lotus stood at the edge of sight, seemingly eternal. Its petals spread out majestically, and chaotic energy swirled around it, creating a scene of creation before Lin Dong that was truly awe-inspiring.

"What is this...?"

Just as Lin Dong was gazing at the colossal object stretching across the void, Mu Zi's clear, cold voice echoed in his mind.

"This method is called the Chaos Divine Lotus Visualization Method. The object before you is transformed from a wisp of divine essence and suppressed deep within your spiritual platform. By visualizing the Chaos Divine Lotus, you can strengthen your spiritual origin. When you reach mastery, you can forge a divine soul."

Mu Zi spoke calmly. The so-called Chaos Divine Lotus was nothing more than a few remnants of her original form at its peak. Even so, it was terrifying enough. Even a powerful expert whose strength far surpassed Lin Dong's would have their soul completely shattered the moment they touched the aura of the Chaos Divine Lotus. Looking across the world, perhaps only Lin Dong, who was connected to Mu Zi by karma, was qualified to cultivate this method.

"The Chaos Divine Lotus Visualization Technique?"

Lin Dong snapped out of his shock, and as if he had thought of something, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Since the so-called visualized divine lotus is somewhat similar to Mu Zi's true form, does this cultivation method count as constantly thinking about Miss Mu in one's mind?

"Um?"

Just as this thought arose in Lin Dong's mind, he saw the Chaos Divine Lotus, which stretched across the depths of the void, slowly rotate. Its vast and boundless aura spread out, and Lin Dong's consciousness, being too close, was affected and swept into it. Under the pressure of the Divine Lotus, it was instantly crushed.

Buzz... Buzz...

The void fell silent. A moment later, Lin Dong's illusory light and shadow reassembled in the distance. He looked at the Primordial Lotus, which stood in the chaos like a divine millstone, with a slight tremor in his heart. The experience of having his spiritual power crushed was enough to make one's mind tremble.

"I forgot to tell you, if you get caught up in that phantom of the divine lotus, your spiritual power will be tempered in this way. You should have experienced the effect just now."

Mu Zi's belated reminder caused Lin Dong's lips to twitch slightly, but when he calmed down, he could indeed feel that his mental energy had become more solid.

Lin Dong was no stranger to similar cultivation methods. The "Mental Grinding Wheel" in the stone talisman also tempered mental power by crushing and reassembling a person. However, compared to the "Chaos Divine Lotus Visualization Method", the improvement effect was far inferior.

Having just passed under the Divine Lotus, Lin Dong's spiritual power seemed to have been faintly tainted by the aura of divine might. Although it was only a tiny trace, it still caused a qualitative change in Lin Dong's spiritual power.

At this moment, Lin Dong could feel that although his realm had not changed, the quality of his spiritual power had undergone a tremendous improvement. The level of strength was probably comparable to some senior talisman masters who had condensed four natal talisman seals, or even stronger!

In the cultivation system of Tianxuan Continent, although mental power techniques are difficult to defend against, they are still somewhat inferior to the strength of Yuan power in the early stages at the same level. However, the mental power refined by the Chaos Divine Lotus Visualization Method is in no way weaker than the Yuan power gathered from the Yin and Yang.

Two natal talismans are enough to contend with the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm, which is unprecedented.

boom!

Within Lin Dong's Niwan Palace, a surging spiritual storm spread out, stirring up waves of turbulent energy.

The projection of the Chaos Divine Lotus occupied the very center of the Niwan Palace in the most domineering manner. Its aura, as deep as an abyss and as deep as a prison, spread like ripples, inadvertently affecting Lin Dong's two natal talismans.

Then, to Lin Dong's astonishment, the two vortex-like runes shattered into nothingness.

"The talisman... is broken?"

Looking at the empty Niwan Palace except for the divine lotus, Lin Dong felt a sense of bewilderment.

I've become a Zero-Seal Master?
