Chapter 652: 602: Incense Flame Path
However, such a cultivation method that gets sneered upon by powerful beings like Pei Xuanjing is not as uncommon or rare in the Sky Wasteland as one might think. In contrast, it can be considered as a second-tier method. Even though it can’t rival the Great Tao of Refining Qi, Refining Essence or Refining Spirit, it still holds a place among various methods of cultivation.
After all, compared to other cultivation methods, the Incense Fire God Refining Path has many deficiencies and shortcomings, but there is one advantage that other methods can’t achieve.
Talent!
For any cultivator, talent is essential. Even a Bone and Marrow Transformation at the Mortal Realm could improve one’s innate talent, enhancing the original gift. However, this would still be a case of the stronger gaining greater benefits.
As the realm of a cultivator continues to elevate, their talent would inevitably affect the next phase of the cultivation. No matter which path they choose — Refining Essence, Refining Qi, or Refining Spirit, the farther they want to go, the higher the demand for talent.
But the Incense Fire God Refining Path is completely different. As long as the cultivator can continue accumulating the Power of Incense Faith, then they can continuously use it to enhance their own strength. Even though this might be very slow, compared to being trapped in a realm with other cultivation methods unable to progress, this advancement is what many people greatly hope for.
So, many cultivators had to switch to the Incense Fire God Refining Path in situations where they see no hope.
If the considerably huge accumulated power of the Incense Flame Path Faith could be used by me, it would definitely increase my cultivation by at least two realms,” a powerful being said with a covetous look, watching the power of Incense Flame Path Faith continuously emerging within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, sighing a little.
“Hehe, whoever dares to touch it will die!” Someone sneered.
Indeed, this Power of Incense Faith is displayed here as if it could be taken at will without anyone caring, but all the powerful forces in the world, especially those who follow the Incense Flame Path, are all holding back their desires to possess it even if they covet this power. They coldly observe, daring not to make any moves for fear of misunderstandings.
Towards Pei Xuanjing, they showed great apprehension, or even fear. Powerful beings like him may have enemies but they are definitely not the ones they can provoke, especially not the cultivators of the Incense Flame Path Faith.
“Is this person’s achievement in the Incense Flame Path Faith this profound?” wondered some powerful beings belonging to top forces of the Sky Wasteland in their minds.
No one in the top forces would underestimate the mystery displayed by Pei Xuanjing. They continually pay attention to every move of Pei Xuanjing, silently gathering information.
After all, whether they turn out to be enemy or friend in the future, they instinctively feel the need to understand him first, to know when to clear their judgment of him so as to prevent being unprepared in case of conflict.
In the eyes of many veteran top forces, they actually look down upon an emerging power like the Taixu Sect. Although the emergence of a strong cultivator at the Nine Realms of Spirit has promoted the Taixu Sect, the sect still lacks the foundation, placing them at the bottom of the chain of top forces.
If someone else from another top force showed up this time, they would definitely not rashly block Pei Xuanjing’s way before truly figuring out Pei Xuanjing’s trump card.
After all, in their eyes, since Pei Xuanjing has already had a conflict with the Canglang Palace, they need to merely wait and observe. They can make a decision after a result emerges between the two parties. This would be the wisest decision.
“What is he trying to do?” A powerful cultivator, also standing high up in the sky, looked at the endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and the power of Incense Flame Path Faith constantly gathering in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty realm while feeling intensely curious.
A powerful being like Pei Xuanjing emerged and rose so quickly that their understanding of him remains superficial. His every move keeps breaking their original perceptions and differs from the information they gathered.
Additionally, the more they understand about Pei Xuanjing, the more mysterious they find him, seemingly veiled behind an enigmatic layer, preventing them from seeing through his true essence.
“No matter what he wants to do, what is known is that he’s doing something important for himself. If you don’t want to become mortal enemies, you can only watch quietly and don’t do anything else,” remarked No Phase True Monarch, waking many people with his words.
Yes, the strength he’s showing now is very powerful, so during this time unless one is ready to confront him to death, they can only step back and watch, refraining from interfering rashly.
They had to admit that Pei Xuanjing’s previous actions were indeed perfect. He’s demonstrated his position in this world. Without understanding Pei Xuanjing’s exact intentions and without any huge benefits, these people couldn’t rashly interfere with his plans, despite their curiosity.
…
Standing above the sky, Pei Xuanjing, who is unaware of the happenings around him, didn’t care. His attention was entirely focused on his current experiment.
In all the Taoist academies in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, divine light soared into the sky, forming pillars of light that pierced the clouds and constantly connected, filling the entire sky. The infinite Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, as well as the power of Incense Flame Path Faith, fused together, converging towards the void where Pei Xuanjing resided. Right now, the power surrounding Pei Xuanjing formed a vicious vortex, gathering ceaselessly in this place.
A thunderous sound kept resonating in the sky above. The invisible and intangible Golden Core in his body, formed by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art, was constantly rotating at high speed, flowing out Shenxiao Origin Qi, permeating these powers.
After waiting for a long time, Pei Xuanjing’s eyes suddenly opened, divine light twinkling in them. He was emotionless, rational to the extreme.
In the next moment, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi appeared out of thin air, its power manifesting itself. This power abided by Pei Xuanjing, elevating his aura even more.
Pei Xuanjing slowly raised his hands, causing the sky to change color and the void to shake.
Seeing this, Pei Xuanjing revealed a satisfied smile. At this moment, his power had reached its peak, the culmination of every trick and strategy he had drawn upon himself without holding anything back.
