Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 49 The Willow Tree Sheds Its Broken Body and Gains New Life

Li Changsheng copied all the cultivation methods and put them in his storage bag.

With the token in hand, he requested a secret room and went into seclusion.

Combining the methods of demon cultivation, and based on the predictions in the above manual, his lifespan will be twenty or thirty years longer than that of the Lingxu Xuan Gong.

Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one can even gain an extra fifty or sixty years of lifespan.

Of course, whether they can live that long is still unverified, but it's certain that they will have a longer lifespan.

"The Spirit Void Profound Technique is too poor," Li Changsheng mused. "If I could master the Profound Heaven Dao Scripture, my lifespan would probably be much longer than that of ordinary cultivation methods."

Lingxu Cave Heaven is just an ordinary sect with shallow foundations. When I have the chance, I'll go to Qingxuan Cave Heaven to see if I can find out some information.

Anxin immersed himself in the cultivation method, using the Xuan Tian Dao Jing as a foundation, incorporating the methods of demon cultivators, as well as formations, to form a cultivation method unique to him.

With the Xuan Tian Dao Jing, the Xuan Jin Formation is no longer a problem.

He incorporated the Xuanjin Array, fused it into a cultivation method, and then combined it with the methods of demon cultivation to form a unique method of his own.

It's just a rough patchwork; it will take time to gradually streamline and simplify, as long as the core remains unchanged.

While Li Changsheng was in seclusion cultivating, Lingxu Cave Heaven also settled down and focused on development.

The branches and trunk form pillars reaching to the heavens, representing the foundation of the project, but it is still somewhat rudimentary.

If the limbs are like the earth and mountains, with too many branches, then let's just make them all like a pillar reaching to the sky, and temper and strengthen them together.

Blood, like a river, can also do this.

  

The meridians are like mountains and rivers; I have quite a few meridians and they take time to develop.

Their eyes are the sun and moon. They have no eyes of their own, but demon cultivators have special sensory abilities and can absorb the essence of the sun and moon.

"With this comprehensive upgrade, it will probably take some time before you can establish a foundation."

Li Changsheng was deep in thought.

If it's just about reaching the heavens through the tree trunk and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it won't take long.

If you were to do all of that, it would take some time, but the results would be amazing.

If he can achieve this, the spiritual power he stores in the Foundation Establishment stage will be so abundant that it will astound even demons.

It might even surpass Niu Wendao, allowing him to freely set up formations and maintain his combat prowess for a long time.

To put it in human terms, I'm a real man for a few seconds right now.

"I have plenty of time. I can take it slow. I can't afford to be beaten black and blue by my peers millions of years from now, can I?"

Li Changsheng muttered to himself.

If things continue to be ordinary, what will happen a thousand or ten thousand years later when they are chased and beaten by their descendants? That scene would be too brutal!

Having made up his mind, he continued to immerse himself in the cultivation method and continue to improve it.

As the days passed, Li Changsheng organized his cultivation techniques.

After half a year, he finally perfected the cultivation method, which he named the Longevity Dao Scripture.

He corrected his cultivation technique but did not break through; instead, he secretly left Lingxu Cave Heaven.

Upon returning to Zhongyang City, the Liu family residence is now inhabited by Lu He.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng," Lu He greeted with a bow.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Liu?" Li Changsheng returned the greeting and asked.

"They've all gone to the Xuantian Sect," Lu He sighed softly. "This courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, so I've come to tidy it up. Fellow Daoist, has something come of your business?"

"I was bored staying in Lingxu Cave Heaven and couldn't break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so I came out for a walk."

Li Changsheng said, "I originally wanted to find fellow Daoists from the Liu family to rent this courtyard, but I didn't expect them to be gone."

"They have a better future. This courtyard is just sitting there anyway, so please stay here, fellow Daoist," Lu He said. "With you here, it saves me some trouble."

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment before asking.

Lu He said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Whether they'll come back or not is another question. As long as we don't sell this courtyard, it's fine."

"I certainly won't sell it. Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Lu," Li Changsheng said, bowing.

"Then I shall take my leave. If you have some free time, you may visit Lingxu Cave Heaven."

Lu He bowed and left Qingliu Courtyard.

Li Changsheng closed the courtyard gate, looked at the old willow tree, and was greatly surprised: "Why do you look like this?"

The old willow tree was decaying; it was completely bald, its trunk was cracked, and the whole tree looked lifeless.

A voice from a tree spirit rang out: "Niu Wendao gave me a drop of unique spiritual liquid, which helped me shed my old body."

"Shed your old body?" Li Changsheng was taken aback.

When Niu asked the question, he did indeed say that if he had the ability, he would repay the willow tree. The willow tree was reborn and its talent was enhanced.

The willow tree made a killing after getting bitten!

But then, from within the tree trunk, a small willow tree, about a meter tall, appeared and disappeared: "Now that my new body is complete, what business do you have with me?"

Li Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I came here to borrow your cultivation."

A clear and ethereal tree spirit voice rang out again: "Lend me your cultivation? How?"

Li Changsheng said, "I want to absorb the essence of the sun and moon within your body, so that you can also benefit from it."

"Do you human cultivators also absorb the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate?" Willow Tree asked curiously.

"I can do some things, but I can't do others," Li Changsheng said. "My cultivation method is profound; you can observe it and perhaps gain some insight."

"Okay," Willow Tree agreed.

Li Changsheng then said, "I didn't expect that the calf would know to repay you for eating your leaves."

"I never expected that Niu Wendao would give me spiritual liquid," Liu Shu said.

"Do you have a name?" Li Changsheng asked.

"No," the willow tree said, swaying its branches. "Just get me one."

"Lingxu Cave Heaven is named with names like Changjiu (meaning longevity) and Changshou (meaning long life), like my Changsheng (meaning long life), which implies a long lifespan."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "I do hope that you can live a carefree life as a little tree spirit, enjoying happiness all your life. How about we name you Liu Wuyou (Worry-Free Willow)?"

"Liu Wuyou? Alright, I'll be called Liu Wuyou then," said the willow tree.

"I will go into seclusion and teach you the method of drawing upon the essence of the sun and moon."

After Li Changsheng finished speaking, he used the Wood Escape Technique to disappear into the trunk of Uncle Liu's tree.

He taught Liu Wuyou the method of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and also taught him an even better cultivation method.

Of course, this cultivation method does not involve branding formations.

If Liu Wuyou achieves something in the future, he will naturally be able to comprehend the Dao patterns that suit him.

Li Changsheng drew upon the essence of the sun and moon within Liu Wuyou's body.

Strands of pure solar essence seeped into his body, tempering his entire being.

A surge of intense warmth flowed into my body, warming my entire being.

The bloodline patterns on its body are also being refined by the essence of the sun.

Liu Wuyou was also absorbing the essence of the sun, cultivating peacefully through the cultivation methods he taught.

Two trees, both in seclusion.

Liu Wuyou also gave most of the Sun Essence he absorbed to Li Changsheng, keeping only a small portion for himself as a way of repaying Li Changsheng's kindness in passing on his skills.

At night, it absorbs the moonlight.

Li Changsheng used the essence of the sun and moon to temper his body and branches.

Visualize the universe around you, your own body becoming the universe, your branches reaching the heavens, reaching the heavens within yourself!

As he cultivated, Li Changsheng grew increasingly respectful, convinced that the creator of the Xuan Tian Dao Jing must have been a top-tier expert.

Refined by the essence of the sun and moon, his perception became increasingly acute.

The wind in the air, the surrounding spiritual energy, and the poisonous insects on the ground all appeared in his mind.

The blood streaks on its body, tempered by the essence of the sun and moon, became increasingly eerie.

And so, with the help of the essence of the sun and moon, it is being refined with peace of mind.

The essence of blood and flesh stored in his body was also being rapidly digested.

The Green Willow Courtyard was closed off, and with him staying there, people from the Mysterious Heaven Cave Heaven no longer came.

Lingxu Cave Heaven is developing steadily, and Nie Qiu is striving for the position of elder.

No one bothered him.

With Liu Wuyou's help, he gathered the essence of the sun and moon much faster than he had expected.

As the days went by, Li Changsheng's physical body gradually strengthened.

The blood vessels on its trunk spread all over its body, merging into the leaves and becoming one with the veins of the leaves.

Visualize your own world; your torso has already reached the heavens!

Although its main body is still a small sapling, it contains immense energy, enough to make ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators tremble with fear.

Refined by the essence of the sun and moon, his body is filled with the power of the sun and moon, which is eventually transformed into spiritual power.

Liu Wuyou also benefited from observing his cultivation, and occasionally he would share some of his power with Liu Wuyou.

Two trees, helping each other and making progress together.

Liu Wuyou's cultivation is also progressing rapidly.

A year later, Liu Wuyou reached the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Li Changsheng was still in seclusion and could only sense the aura growing stronger.

When Liu Wuyou observed him, it was as if he were seeing a simple, unrefined world.

Li Changsheng did not reveal his true form, but only let Liu Wuyou see his surface.

In visualization, the body is lush and verdant, brimming with endless vitality, like an ocean, like the world.

Although it has no eyes, it can still gather the power of the sun and moon and condense the sun and moon.

The sun and moon are complete!
