Chapter 317 A stubborn rock embraces a mountain, a lotus blooms with two leaves
The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
Xia Ningyan was completely dumbfounded.
The man before me seemed to have everything planned out, yet it also seemed that everything he did was spontaneous.
More importantly, she didn't even know why this man was treating her this way.
Finally, at Xia Ningyan's insistence, Ye Kang took her flying with him.
The secret realm is vast, but for a martial artist in the Lotus Realm, they can traverse every corner within a day.
In fact, Ye Kang's idea to hide Xia Ningyan here was not a sudden whim.
It was all just a side effect.
He desperately needs to become stronger, strong enough that even reclusive sects cannot easily control him.
The best way to become stronger right now is through the Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique.
Each Lotus Blooming Realm cultivation technique, combined with the corresponding spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, can help him to open a leaf.
With the Blazing Body Burning Technique fully integrated, Ye Kang is now left with only the Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain Technique.
Leng Wuqing once said that the "Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain Skill" was only the most basic skill for them, and they would only practice it as a last resort.
If one continues to practice this technique, this statement is absolutely correct.
Even if it's the most suitable, the inherent limitations of the cultivation technique itself are already a bottleneck. Trying to break through to the Divine Sea Realm with this technique is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But if it's just a tool for opening leaves, then there's nothing more suitable.
Ye Kang raised his right hand, and a blazing flame appeared.
These are some changes he gained after refining the Blazing Flame Body Burning Technique and the Fire Element Roc Demon Core. He can now unleash flames at will without needing the Fire Element True Feather.
This raging flame belonged entirely to him. Although its intensity was slightly weaker than the demonic fire within the Fire Element True Feather, it was inexhaustible, and he could have as much as he wanted.
From this, Ye Kang roughly understood the extraordinary nature of the Sacred Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique. After refining a technique, one would not only improve their cultivation level but also gain the corresponding cultivation effects.
Nine Leaves, nine techniques, that's nine effects. Add the Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique, and that's a total of ten techniques to cultivate together!
No matter where it is placed, it can only be described in two words.
unbelievable!
The "Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain Technique" can improve physical strength, equivalent to half of a body tempering technique, making the base more stable, which Ye Kang likes very much.
As for the spiritual resources needed to integrate this cultivation technique, that's why Ye Kang specifically returned to the Poyang Secret Realm.
The "Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain" technique requires spiritual objects like rocks, so what could be more suitable than a pure, giant rock that has become a spirit?
That's right, Ye Kang's initial goal was the stone giant that had been chasing him and Gu Lingwei.
At this moment, the two had arrived at the top of the rocky mountain.
Sure enough, the stone giant usually slept underground without moving at all.
Xia Ningyan scanned the area with her senses and was immediately surprised.
"A stone demon equivalent to an eighth-grade innate level! What a rare demon! To cultivate to this level, it must have taken at least ten thousand years!"
She was absolutely right. It was extremely difficult for the stone demon to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it also lacked the help of bloodlines, making it difficult for it to break through.
As time passed, the stone giant's cultivation level remained unchanged, still at the eighth rank.
No one knows how many years the secret realm has existed, but it has managed to pile up a single rock to this extent.
Ye Kang looked at the top of the stone giant's head. Where the hair he had plucked had grown, a brand new precious plant had sprung up. He looked at Xia Ningyan.
The latter immediately recognized it: "It's a body-tempering treasure plant, the Heavenly Fennel Fruit."
Ye Kang's eyes lit up: Buy one get one free!
There’s also an unexpected bonus!
He immediately activated the Sacred Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique, and an extremely vast surge of true energy erupted, enveloping the surroundings.
Xia Ningyan was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed drastically.
"The Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique! No! Something's different... What is this?!"
Ye Kang ignored her and flew down directly.
The stone giant had just woken up and was still in a daze. Just as it was about to angrily crush the creature that dared to disturb its sleep, Ye Kang slapped its head with one hand and then pressed down hard.
Boom!
The stone giant's body shattered completely, turning into fragments of rock. Ye Kang quickly collected the Heavenly Fennel Fruit, then exerted his strength again, blasting the stone giant into pieces.
Ash filled the air, and pebbles flew wildly until only a palm-sized, black, round stone with an eerie glow remained before our eyes.
This is the stone giant's true form, and the foundation of its demonic aura.
It was an unnamed stone that neither Ye Kang nor Xia Ningyan recognized.
But it didn't matter. With a thought, Ye Kang directly enveloped the round stone with his Sacred Extreme True Qi.
The Furnace of All Laws resounded at this moment.
【Ding】
[Detected: Two Stone Spirits of the Heaven and Earth, resembling rocks]
[Two-Life Stone: A pebble from the land of the underworld, easily imbued with spiritual intelligence, sturdy and durable]
【Ding】
[Path to Heaven (Lotus Realm): The Stubborn Stone Embracing Mountain Technique can refine the Two-Life Stone Demon. Refine it or not?]
Ye Kang chose to refine it without hesitation.
Immediately, the Two Lives Stone was enveloped by the Holy Ultimate True Qi and forcefully incorporated into the Purple Mansion.
The stone demon trembled, still retaining its senses, but the Holy Extreme True Qi gave it no chance, directly shattering its consciousness. Then, golden spiritual liquid covered it, turning it inch by inch into lotus leaves.
The Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain Skill was completely integrated with the Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Skill, and Ye Kang suddenly had many insights into this skill in his mind.
He landed cross-legged, like a giant rock rooted in the mountain, drawing upon the earth's energy to surround him in layers.
It actually involved body tempering during the breakthrough!
Xia Ningyan was stunned.
She never expected that this guy would break through so easily!
This is too fast!
At this moment, a faint blessing descended from heaven and earth, and rays of spiritual light entered Ye Kang's body, helping him to improve his physical body.
The aura of the Holy Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique also increased exponentially, and the two-lived stone demons were completely refined, transforming into a grayish-white lotus leaf engraved with stone demon patterns.
The second leaf opens!
Ye Kang opened his eyes and exhaled, unleashing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth. He inhaled countless energies of the earth's veins, and the blessings of heaven and earth bathed his entire body. Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Kang fed the Heavenly Fennel Fruit he had just obtained into his mouth.
The demonic power was absorbed instantly, without any waste.
He stood up and took a step forward, each step creating countless lotus flowers. Above his head, a phantom image of a two-petaled lotus flower suddenly appeared, leaving Xia Ningyan stunned.
"The leaves have sprouted... It was that easy to succeed..."
Before she could even feel the frustration, something even bigger came.
In the mountains of the secret realm, majestic mountain gods clad in heavy armor emerged from the void and bowed to Ye Kang.
A strange phenomenon occurred in the heavens and earth; the mountain god bowed in reverence!
Xia Ningyan's face was pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
"Spectacular phenomena have appeared in the heavens and earth! What kind of genius is this!"
Ye Kang wasn't too surprised, after all, he had already experienced the phoenix's arrival once, so seeing the second phenomenon naturally calmed him down.
However, he couldn't help but smile.
Another leaf has opened!
Not only did his cultivation level improve rapidly, but he also tempered his body, making his physical body as indestructible as a mountain!
The "Stubborn Rock Embracing Mountain Skill" is even more effective at improving one's physical abilities than the "Blazing Flame Body Burning Technique"!
That was awesome! That was awesome!
