Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

The Zhou Tian Xing Qiao is a complete inheritance, but for Lu Qian now, its function is more auxiliary, such as opening the star aperture and tempering the body. It seems to be somewhat inferior to powerful techniques like the Water and Fire Dao Techniques.

However, although it is an auxiliary skill, as long as you open a few more star apertures, you can improve your comprehension, which is very powerful.

Moreover, as a complete inheritance, the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao is not lacking in combat power; it just hasn't been revealed yet.

Moreover, in this era, Lu Qian may be the only one who can cultivate the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao (a type of energy cultivation technique), and he has no one to ask for guidance, so he can only explore on his own.

"Perhaps I could go out and try to cultivate the power of stars, but we're currently in Luo Wei's cave, so let's wait and see!"

By circulating his Qi through his meridians, Lu Qian felt that his cultivation speed had increased significantly. Most importantly, the strength of his meridians had also improved, allowing him to cultivate for a longer period of time. In the long run, his cultivation speed would naturally continue to increase.

The greatest advantage of the Zhou Tian Star Aperture is that it doesn't depend much on spiritual roots. As long as Lu Qian continues to open the Star Aperture, his cultivation speed will become faster and faster, no longer limited by spiritual roots, and he will gradually be able to rival, or even surpass, those true geniuses.

When he had almost finished cultivating, Lu Qian returned to the Heart World. As usual, he first practiced the Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse. Then, he switched the scene to the Myriad Laws Battle Tower, grabbed his double maces, and jumped off the ship to fight the monsters in the water.

Any Ice Scale Crocodile that dared to approach him was dealt with by Lu Qian with a single mace. If it hit, it would surely break bones and rupture tendons. With the added power, it was as if a mere graze would cause injury, and a single touch would be fatal. He was virtually invincible.

However, seeing Lu Qian's ferocity, the Ice Scale Crocodile quietly retreated after leaving behind six corpses.

Then the Ink-backed Toads surrounded him, and Lu Qian instinctively struck with his mace, as if he had smashed a black water bag. Poisonous water sprayed everywhere, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

At this moment, the remaining Ice Scale Crocodiles and the Misty Swamp Herons in the sky rushed towards Lu Qian and attacked him frantically. When he retaliated, he hit the Ink-Backed Toad again, which sprayed poisonous water all over its body. In the end, it was helplessly overwhelmed and killed by the monsters.

"It seems that physical cultivation alone is not enough, at least not enough for me. After all, I don't specialize in physical cultivation; I need to use spells to complement it!"

"Continue practicing the Turbid Wave Bone-Corroding Curse? I don't think that's necessary. Let's just learn it in battle!"

After a day of training, Lu Qian felt that his efficiency in practicing alone was too low, and it would be better to comprehend it in battle.

So he reset the scene and reappeared on the small boat. All around him was an endless expanse of water and swarms of monsters. The next moment, he stretched out his hand and sprinkled it outwards. The surrounding water surface was covered with a layer of frost, and the monsters were frozen in place.

However, the Ice Scale Crocodile seemed unaffected and quickly tore Lu Qian's boat to pieces, forcing him to fight in the water.

"The Icescale Crocodile doesn't seem to be afraid of the Turbulent Waves Corrosion Curse? No, it's not immune to freezing, but it's actually still affected to some extent!"

The Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse not only has a freezing effect, but also a corrosive power.

During the battle with the Icescale Crocodile, Lu Qian clearly felt that the Icescale Crocodile's scales were much weaker. However, since he was already capable of breaking through its defenses, this advantage was better than nothing.

"It's clearly a water and fire magic technique, but it only has water; how can it work without fire?"

Seeing the Ink-Backed Toad approaching again, Lu Qian suddenly had a brilliant idea and reached out to slap out a fireball.

Strangely enough, in the area where the Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse had not yet completely lost its effect, the ice water was ignited, emitting bursts of poisonous smoke. Lu Qian accidentally inhaled two mouthfuls and immediately felt weak all over, as if he was about to sink into the water.

But instead of being annoyed, he burst into laughter. "Indeed, there's a trick to it! It's clearly a water and fire technique, so of course, water and fire should be used together! However, how to control this poisonous smoke needs careful consideration! And the timing of releasing the Turbid Wave Bone-Corroding Curse is also important!"

Lu Qian reset the scene again. He first jumped into the water to kill the Ice Scale Crocodile. When the Ink-Backed Toads got close, he released the Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse twice to freeze them. Then he used Fireball to ignite them. More than a dozen Ink-Backed Toads could only struggle and die in the poisonous smoke.

However, there are thirty Ink-backed Nether Toads in total, and they are very scattered. It is probably impossible to eliminate them all at once. Lu Qian's Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse was only barely released and was not very sophisticated. His cultivation level was also low, and the range only covered about five or six meters around him. It was too far away to reach the Ink-backed Nether Toads in the distance.

However, with a few more practice sessions, it is possible to eliminate these black-backed toads. The only remaining problem is the twenty misty herons in the sky.

Lu Qian could still find a way to deal with the Ice Scale Crocodile and the Ink-Backed Toad, but the Misty Swamp Heron was in the sky, and as long as it didn't fly down, he couldn't reach it, which was a problem.

"These water herons are too agile and highly mobile. They can also dive into the water and then suddenly fly out again. They are unpredictable and difficult to deal with."

If there were only a few Misty Swamp Herons, Lu Qian could have easily wiped them out with Palm Thunder. However, he needed to save his true energy to release the Turbid Wave Corrosion Curse to deal with the Ink-Backed Toad, so he naturally didn't have much true energy left to release Palm Thunder.

Clearly, if the Misty Swamp Heron cannot be defeated, this level will become very difficult to pass.

The requirement to pass the trial is to kill all these monsters within one hour. If you can't deal with the Misty Swamp Herons, how can you be considered to have killed them all?

When Lu Qian came out of seclusion, he went out for a big feast with Luo Wei. He had gotten used to it by now, and while they were eating, he raised his questions.

Upon hearing Lu Qian's words, Luo Wei immediately laughed, "You just can't see things clearly. Do we cultivators always have to use spells or powerful inheritances when we fight?"

Lu Qian didn't quite understand and quickly asked, "What do you mean? If not magic, what else can we use?"

Luo Wei put down the large bone she was holding, pointed at Lu Qian's head, and said, "Think carefully about what happened when you first entered the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws."

Lu Qian still didn't quite understand Luo Wei's meaning, but he still thought back to the first time he entered the Ten Thousand Laws Battle Tower without any preparation. After falling into the water, he struggled and killed several demonic beasts with his bare hands.

At that time, Lu Qian did not use any magic or combat skills. He simply killed the monster with his wild punches. This was purely human instinct and had nothing to do with any skill.

Now he seemed to understand Luo Wei's method. Cultivators are also human, and there are still many ways to use besides magic. They shouldn't limit their thinking too much.

Just like the water heron in the mist, since it can't be solved with magic or combat skills, it's easy to deal with it by shooting it with a bow and arrow.
