Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 229: Dream of the Yellow Millet

Tai Zhen's puppet deity has the ability to directly enhance divine consciousness and strengthen Lan Jie. Gao Xian has always regarded Tai Zhen's puppet deity as the most important secret technique.

With 800,000 points of Human Dao Spiritual Light, Tai Zhen's puppet deity can be elevated to the level of a grandmaster.

Based on Gao Xian's experience, there will be a noticeable enhancement when a spell or secret technique reaches the expert level, and a qualitative change when it reaches the grandmaster level.

At the level of a grandmaster, there will be another qualitative change. When one reaches the pinnacle of a grandmaster, the secret technique will be elevated to its peak, comprehending all changes.

Elevating Tai Zhen's puppet deity to the level of a grandmaster may bring some surprises.

However, investing all 800,000 points into Tai Zhen's puppet deity would have a low cost-effectiveness.

His divine consciousness is already very strong, not much weaker than Shui Yu Ying.

In order to cope with the upcoming competition, upgrading the Thunderous Lightning Law can directly enhance his combat power.

Including the Thirty-Six Layers of Ice and Fire and the Yin-Yang Treasure Wheel, they can make him more composed in battle and display more variations.

Especially the Ninth Layer of Ice and Fire, it can directly enhance the power of the Profound Ice Arrow and the Flame Bullet.

After weighing the options, Gao Xian decided not to upgrade Tai Zhen's puppet deity for now. The consumption of Human Dao Spiritual Light for this technique is too high.

Using the 800,000 points of Human Dao Spiritual Light on other secret techniques can provide him with comprehensive improvements.

Especially the Thunderous Lightning Law, which is second only to Tai Zhen's puppet deity. It is his fundamental secret technique.

With this in mind, Gao Xian no longer hesitated and invested 480,000 points of Human Dao Spiritual Light into the Thunderous Lightning Law, continuously elevating it from the level of proficiency to the level of a grandmaster.

A faint electric light emerged from the depths of his sea of consciousness, rapidly expanding and dividing, multiplying by a hundred, a hundredfold to ten thousand, and ten thousandfold to billions...

Billions of strands of electric light spread throughout Gao Xian's body, penetrating his blood vessels, muscles, and organs, constructing an incredibly complex three-dimensional network of electric light centered around his body.

From his divine soul to his physical body, the electric light enveloped him at every level.

After a long time, the billions of strands of electric light gradually dissipated.

Gao Xian opened his eyes, and there were still traces of electric light left in the depths of his eyes.

He extended his index and middle fingers of his left hand, and a needle-like electric light shot out from his fingertips, extending several zhang before curling into a circle, transforming into a long whip of electric light that swept and danced.

Under the control of his divine consciousness, a strand of electric light changed freely in the air, appearing exceptionally agile.

The grandmaster-level electric light ring is no longer limited to a circular shape and can transform into a whip, but its effect remains unchanged, lacking direct killing power.

When an enemy is struck by the electric light ring, their body becomes paralyzed and weak, and their mana and divine consciousness quickly pour out.

Although it lacks killing power, it possesses extremely strong control ability.

When the electric light ring is used inwardly, it can greatly enhance Gao Xian's speed. It can also integrate well with the Qiankun Wheel.

Gao Xian also tried the Thunderous Cannon. With a movement of his divine consciousness, a ball of lightning formed in the palm of his hand and shot out like a cannonball.

The grandmaster-level Thunderous Cannon is almost instantaneous, with a faster flying speed, comparable to the Flame Bullet.

Thunder techniques are all fast, but in this realm, they all require the condensation of thunder-based mana and the control of divine consciousness. The casting speed is limited by divine consciousness and it is impossible to reach the speed of light.

Especially the Thunder Cannon, the condensed thunder light acts as a projectile, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy in the air and transforming it into thunder power during launch, so the speed is not too fast.

The speed of the Solar Bullet is already exceptionally fast, surpassing ordinary second-tier spells and even comparable to second-tier flying swords.

The upgraded Thunder Cannon gathers even stronger thunder power, with a faster launch speed and a decrease in mana consumption by thirty percent.

The Thunder Cannon released by Gao Xian continuously absorbs spiritual energy while flying in the air, and in an instant, it has turned into a basketball-sized ball of blazing thunder light.

Just as this ball of blazing thunder light cannon is about to strike the wall, the thunder light suddenly dissipates silently.

With the Thunder and Lightning Mastery reaching the Grandmaster level, Gao Xian can freely control the Thunder Cannon, gathering and dispersing it at will.

During the battle with the Four-Armed Demon Monkey, Gao Xian tested the power of the Thunder Cannon and found it to be a certain threat to the Four-Armed Demon Monkey.

The Thunder Cannon at the Grandmaster level can be considered the most powerful attack spell he has mastered, far surpassing the Solar Bullet and the Profound Ice Arrow.

Compared to active attack spells like the Thunder Cannon and the Electric Light Ring, Gao Xian actually values the enhancement of the Thunder and Lightning Mastery on his physical and spiritual aspects.

During the upgrade of the Thunder and Lightning Mastery just now, it refined his body and consciousness with electric light.

Gao Xian feels that his consciousness is now noticeably clearer and purer, operating more smoothly and swiftly. His body, including his thoughts, immediately responds as soon as he moves, and his reaction speed has increased by at least fifty percent.

According to his understanding, this upgrade of the Thunder and Lightning Mastery strengthened his body and expanded the network for transmitting signals of consciousness.

It's like upgrading from 4G to 5G, with faster and more stable signal transmission, and strengthening the body can achieve synchronous response.

To test these changes, Gao Xian directly activated the Qiankun Wheel.

A faint platinum halo rotates, propelling Gao Xian to suddenly accelerate forward.

The secluded room left by Zhang Dongling is located about two zhang underground, with a radius of only ten zhang. The walls are all built with blue stones, and the middle is cast with bronze juice, with some spirit stone materials containing spiritual energy added to enhance the runes.

This secluded room is exceptionally sturdy and well-designed, with fast air circulation and the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

The only problem is that it is not very large, and the speed at which Gao Xian propels the Qiankun Wheel is three hundred zhang per breath.

He is only about a zhang away from the wall, and in terms of his familiar units, he would hit the wall within one-hundredth of a second.

In the past, Gao Xian would definitely not be able to react in time.

But now he can easily control the Qiankun Wheel to change direction, making a precise return to the original position after circling inside the secluded room.

If there was a Qi Refining cultivator in the room, they would only see a blur in front of them and not be able to see anything else.

If it was a Foundation Building cultivator, they would see a series of afterimages left by Gao Xian.

Gao Xian then activated the Electric Light Ring to enhance the Qiankun Wheel. The speed suddenly doubled, and he could still fly freely in the small room, advancing or stopping at will.

This terrifying speed gave him the initiative to enter or retreat from the battlefield at will.

He can fight if he wants to fight, and leave if he wants to leave. With his high speed, he can move freely in all directions during battles, ensuring his own safety to the maximum extent.

As long as he doesn't encounter the suppression of Gold Core level spiritual consciousness or certain spatial treasures or Spiritual Weapons that can control a large area, or some formations, with his high speed, he can come and go freely.

As for the remaining 320,000 Human Dao Spiritual Light, Gao Xian considered adding 240,000 to the Ice and Fire Thirty-Six Heavens, elevating this technique to the expert level.

The most direct effect of the Ice and Fire Nine Heavens upgrade is that the Profound Ice Arrow and the Fiery Sun Bullet are both upgraded synchronously, from the beginner level to the mastery level.

The Profound Ice Arrow and the Fiery Sun Bullet cannot be directly upgraded. It takes at least thirty years of gradually accumulating proficiency every day to reach the mastery level.

By allocating skill points, it is equivalent to saving thirty years of arduous cultivation. This upgrade is really amazing.

The backside spells of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror can be directly allocated skill points, while the frontside spells cannot.

The Profound Ice Arrow and the Fiery Sun Bullet are also extremely compatible with the Ice and Fire Thirty-Six Heavens, which allows for indirect allocation of skill points.

The remaining 80,000 Human Dao Spiritual Light, Gao Xian allocated 40,000 to the Yin Yang Treasure Wheel, raising its level to expert.

The Qian Kun Wheel was also raised to the level of Master, only one step away from the Grandmaster level.

Gao Xian's consciousness entered the Heart-Mind Temple and tested the upgraded Fiery Sun Bullet, Ice Arrow Art, and Qian Kun Wheel.

The power of the Fiery Sun Bullet and the Profound Ice Arrow increased by more than 30%, while the mana consumption decreased.

This kind of upgrade is very significant.

It should be noted that with the support of the Ice and Fire Thirty-Six Heavens, he can instantly unleash seventy-two Fiery Sun Bullets or Profound Ice Arrows. A 30% increase in power for one spell is not considered very strong, but a 30% increase in power for all seventy-two spells is enough to cause a qualitative change in power.

The speed of the Qian Kun Wheel did not increase much, but with the support of the Electric Light Ring, the speed of the Qian Kun Wheel reached a high speed of eight hundred zhang per breath.

Under this extreme high speed, Gao Xian also found it difficult to control as he wished. However, it was enough to use it for escape.

After upgrading various secret techniques, Gao Xian felt that his strength had greatly improved.

When facing Xing Shan again, he should be able to defeat him with just one confrontation.

It is a bit regrettable that the Shadowless Robe, the Body Splitting Technique, and the Vajra Staff have all reached the level of Grandmaster perfection, but he does not know how to break through.

Especially the Vajra Staff, if it could break through its limits, it should be able to further enhance his physical body.

His ultimate move is the Azure Lotus Flying Rainbow Sword, and to kill a strong enemy, he must engage in close combat.

Close combat is full of danger, and a powerful physical body can ensure his safety to the greatest extent.

Unfortunately, the Vajra Staff is a secret transmission of the Dragon Elephant Palace.

The Dragon Elephant Palace is very far away from here, and it is probably difficult to obtain such a secret technique inheritance.

Gao Xian couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If the Vajra Staff could continue to be upgraded with skill points, it would be possible to elevate his physical body to the Gold Core level.

Even if it meant consuming a large amount of lifespan, it would be worth it.

After the upgrade, his strength greatly increased, but he couldn't find anyone to spar with.

With nothing to do, Gao Xian suddenly had an inspiration and drew a book called "Dream of the Yellow Millet".

He had already transformed and sold the two painting albums under the identity of Liu Sanbian, but the results were not very good.

Perhaps the cultivators in Qingyun City have a slightly higher appreciation and taste, and they don't like things that are too direct and crude.

Different platforms have different audiences, so there are differences in content and form.

Just like how Douyin users look down on Kuaishou, and Bilibili users look down on Douyin.

This book, "The Dream of the Red Chamber," its core content remains unchanged, nothing more than the affairs of love and romance. It is just presented in a more elegant form, and the allusion to the dream of the red chamber elevates the level of the story.

The story of the dream of the red chamber has also been modified. It is said that the protagonist dreams of transforming into a butterfly and entering the fairyland of butterflies, where he encounters numerous beautiful butterfly maidens and engages in various passionate love affairs.

In the end, the protagonist Zhuang Sheng wakes up from the dream, and all the love and affection dissipate. Zhuang Sheng is filled with regret, not knowing whether he dreamt of the butterfly fairy or if the butterfly fairy dreamt of him...

Finally, Gao Xian also plagiarized a famous poem by Li Shangyin.

A few days later, Yun Qiushui came to visit.

As soon as Yun Qiushui entered the door, he had a smile on his face and said, "Brother Gao, I have great news. The ancestor has taken a liking to Wan Yingying and wants to accept her as a direct disciple!"

"Ah?!"

Gao Xian was both surprised and delighted. Although he had anticipated this, when it actually happened, he felt a sense of unreality, as if he was in a dream.

Yun Qiushui also had a look of envy on his face. "She will be the true disciple of the ancestor. In terms of seniority, I will have to call her senior martial brother. In a few hundred years, she may even take charge of the sect!"

"This is truly surprising..."

Gao Xian sighed with emotion. No one could have expected such a tremendous change in Wan Yingying's destiny.

He asked, "Can I go and see Yingying?"

Yun Qiushui said, "I came here this time on the orders of the ancestor to invite you to the mountain for a discussion. After all, you are Yingying's only elder. When Yingying pays her respects to the master, there should be an elder present to witness the ceremony."

He added, "This matter is of great importance. Fellow Daoist, remember to keep it confidential. If the news leaks out, it will be greatly detrimental to her."

A future Nascent Soul seed will inevitably attract ill intentions from all sides.

Especially the sect masters of the nearby sects, no one wants their neighbors to become too powerful!

Gao Xian understood this well and nodded, "Naturally, I understand the importance."

"Let's go."

After Yun Qiushui and Gao Xian got into the car, Gao Xian casually handed "The Dream of the Red Chamber" to Yun Qiushui and said, "It's a work of fiction. Brother Yun, please take a look..."

Yun Qiushui took it and saw the three characters "Liu San Bian" written on the cover.

He paused for a moment and couldn't help but laugh, "So Brother Gao is Liu San Bian. His recent paintings have become quite popular. Although the stories are simple, the art style is unique and very appealing..."

The hyper-realistic art style has now become a trend, and various publications are imitating and plagiarizing it.

Yun Qiushui initially found this painting to be exquisite and lifelike, but the style was too direct and lacked any profound meaning. After seeing it a few times, he grew tired of it.

He casually flipped through "The Dream of the Red Chamber," and the little stories were still sensual, but they had gained a touch of ethereal and dynamic Zen-like quality.

Especially the last poem that was mentioned, it had a profound artistic conception.

He softly recited, "The moon shines on the sea like a pearl with tears, the sun warms the blue fields and jade emits smoke. This love can only be remembered, but at that time, it was already lost..."

Yun Qiushui lightly clapped his thigh and sincerely praised, "What a great poem, Brother Gao is truly talented!"
