Chapter 418 Divine Pearl Precept (1)

Xing's sword with a punch, followed by another punch towards Gu Xing. It seemed as though Gu Xing would be hit and have no way to retaliate, when Gu Xing's left hand made an incredible transformation....Chapter 418 Mystic Jade Formula 1

"It's delicious! Is there any more" After Wang Yanyu finished eating, she forgot about settling the score with Xianyao because she was conquered by the taste of the demon nai meat and wanted to eat more.

"None left unless you can get me the ingredients." Xianyao casually replied as he continued flipping through a book in his hands. It wasn't clear if he was flipping pages or reading.

Almost everyone believed that he was flipping pages, not reading. His speed was too fast, even faster than reading ten lines at once!

"What ingredients Tell me and I'll definitely get them for you." Wang Yanyu patted her chest confidently, as if she thought that if Xianyao could obtain the ingredients, then so could she.

"Demon nai. It has to be at least a Holy Rank." Xianyao replied while still flipping through his book.

"Demon nai At least a Holy Rank This is something that rarely appears even once in a century. Are you joking with me The meat I just ate was from such a demon nai" Wang Yanyu's eyes widened in surprise, as she knew what the demon nai was and understood how precious it was. Moreover, she knew that Holy Rank or higher demon nais were even rarer.

Once in a century — this wasn't an exaggeration!

"Yeah, that's what happened today afternoon. Someone came to hunt the demon nai, and I unintentionally became bait and helped her kill it; then she shared some meat with me." Xianyao explained.

"Hear the Rain Lake Demon nai So they were talking about you all along! You're really something, remember to let me taste it too! Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll tell you a great cultivation technique. Practicing this will keep you young forever..." Wang Yanyu didn't elaborate on the demon nai because she wasn't very interested.

Forever youthful Could it be Lady Empress's technique Hearing that word, Xianyao thought of Her Royal Highness and her cultivation technique.

"This technique is called Mystic Jade Formula!"

"What!" Xianyao exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect the technique to be the Mystic Jade Formula; it was just one character different from Mystic Jade Technique, perhaps the original version of it. However, Xianyao had no way to get his hands on the Mystic Jade Formula because it belonged to Dayu Island, a very mysterious sect.

The people of Dayu Island rarely moved around in this world and seldom participated in major sect competitions; they were an extremely low-profile sect force.

Nevertheless, Dayu Island was well-known within the circles, almost everyone knew about it. Yet why did such contradictory phenomena exist It was actually quite simple!

Although people from Dayu Island rarely moved around outside, those who came out were undoubtedly top-notch individuals. Perhaps because so few people came out of Dayu Island, some believed that the reason only top-tier experts emerged from it over the years was simply due to there being such a small number.

Thus, some didn't take Dayu Island seriously, and even someone involved in conflicts went after them. Although Dayu Islanders were already top-notch experts, there were still quite a few people in this world with comparable or even higher strength levels.

In that pursuit of Dayu Islanders by a larger sect, which could even enter the Top Ten Sects list, they managed to kill one or two top-tier experts relatively easily after paying some costs.

This matter caused quite a stir initially because those killed were top-notch experts. It made people realize how strong that sect was, indeed powerful enough to be in the Top Ten Sects list.

Later on, this event gradually faded away until a year later when it was brought up again and sparked intense reactions, but not by that sect; instead, it was because of Dayu Island.

When everyone thought Dayu Island was nothing special anymore, the people from Dayu Island appeared once more. This time they weren't just one or two individuals but a group powerful enough to change the world's color in just a day, eliminating that sect completely and destroying any related person or place.

At the same time, they declared to the world: whoever dared to harm Dayu Island people would serve as their example with no exceptions!

In virtually one night, they wiped out that sect. The strength of Dayu Island was deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts at this moment, and they believed that nobody would dare to do anything against the people from Dayu Island anymore because nobody could withstand such retaliation.

Indeed, when Dayu Islanders moved about in the江湖 (Jianghu), they never committed any major evil deeds. On the contrary, they often acted heroically and fairly, which was itself a reason for respect. Because of this, no one felt threatened by Dayu Island as they were only ensuring their disciples' safety instead of covering up for their misdeeds.

After that event, people from Dayu Island still rarely appeared; every few decades or even centuries, just one or two would surface. This is why everyone remained clueless about where Dayu Island was located and how many members it had.

The only thing they knew were some information about the disciples who came out of Dayu Island, including the Mystic Jade Formula.

"Why, are you surprised The Bright Jade Sutra is not an easy thing to obtain. You should thank me on your knees," Wang Yanyu said with a smile. At this moment, she didn't know the reason for Xiyao's surprise and thought that it must be because of his knowledge about the origin of the Bright Jade Sutra.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiyao immediately said. He needed to satisfy her so he could learn more about the Bright Jade Sutra, which he was very curious about.

"That's better. Listen carefully, the Bright Jade Sutra..." Wang Yanyu started reciting the Bright Jade Sutra while Xiyao stopped reading and focused on absorbing it fully, comparing it with the Bright Jade Art.

Reading so many books was because he wanted to find ones useful to him, and the Bright Jade Sutra was just such a book. It naturally deserved his attention!

After comparing the two, Xiyao found that the Bright Jade Sutra might be the original version of the Bright Jade Art. The meridians and their pathways were very similar, but the Bright Jade Sutra seemed to have more refined techniques. However, it was only the original version of the Bright Jade Art.

Xiyao had already modified the Bright Jade Art for Guxing, so his current version wasn't inferior to the Bright Jade Sutra. The difference was that the Bright Jade Art lacked several levels of technique compared to the Bright Jade Sutra, which Xiyao hadn't calculated before.

The reason he didn't calculate it was because Guxing didn't need those advanced techniques yet. Those advanced techniques would be used after reaching the peak Saint realm, but Guxing had only just entered the initial Saint realm; there was still plenty of time left!

Now that Xiyao had obtained this Bright Jade Sutra, he no longer needed to worry about the future techniques for Guxing. In two days, he would pass the technique on to him.

Why wait two days

It was simple: Xiyao's messenger eagle had already delivered the demon fish meat to Guxing, and he needed to wait for it to return before sending more things over.

The appearance of the Bright Jade Sutra also gave him some inspiration regarding his Divine Farmer Art. Until now, he hadn't encountered any techniques beyond the peak Saint realm, which was why this was the first time he could calculate the advanced techniques for the Divine Farmer Art.

With these new calculations, he could now predict some of its subsequent techniques, a very important matter at this point in time. The Divine Farmer Art seemed different from other arts; it only allowed cultivation up to the Imperial realm, while others could cultivate beyond that.

The ability to reach the Imperial realm was due to the accumulation of internal energy and not the breakthroughs in meridian cultivation. Normally, a breakthrough would be achieved by opening new meridians, which would allow for rapid growth of internal power and enhance its potency.

This was why there were such large differences in power between different strength levels.

If one relied solely on the accumulation of internal energy without opening new meridians, it would become increasingly difficult as the amount of energy saturated within the existing meridians grew.

Generally, when this situation arose, one had to attempt to open new meridians!

In fact, all techniques were similar in nature: they started with simple and easy-to-cultivate meridians. The differences lay in which specific meridian was chosen and the pathway it followed.

Gradually, one would increase the number of cultivated meridians until reaching full-body cultivation. Generally speaking, being able to cultivate 80% of the body's meridians already equated to the Divine realm; attaining 100% was nearly impossible.

This was a law in the world: pure and perfect things could never truly exist.

Put simply, this meant that no one is perfect!

The reason why cultivation became more difficult as one advanced was because each subsequent meridian was harder to open. Yet once opened later on, it would result in a significant increase in power.

The strength of internal energy and the number of meridians couldn't be calculated simply by adding or subtracting; instead, there was a complex formula involved. Opening an additional meridian didn't just add a bit to one's strength but doubled it and more.

Currently, Xiyao found that if he cultivated his Divine Farmer Art to the Imperial realm, the number of meridians would be similar to what others cultivate at the Saint level. If this Divine Farmer Art wasn't completely powerless, then right now, Xiyao's combat strength should already reach the late King rank because he was about to enter that stage in terms of the meridians he could cultivate.

At first, when feeling his cultivation progress slow down, it had something to do with him needing to cultivate more meridians and thus always feeling a lack of internal energy.

However, currently, his cultivation speed was actually increasing. Even though there were still reasons related to the Divine Farmer Art, he couldn't stop this acceleration in progress.

This made Xiyao very puzzled but unable to come up with an explanation; he assumed it might be due to adapting to the world's primordial energy here—anyway, it was a good thing and didn't need too much thought.ircumstances but seemed quite ordinary at this moment because he had just saved her life.But what does it matter if it seems normal Who would act like her in such a situationThe ideas are all reasonab...
