Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#780 - Shi Hong's Sad Pearl

At this moment, Li Chengfeng had already entered the small secret realm. How large was this secret realm exactly? His divine sense was now suppressed to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, making it impossible for him to perceive.

However, he didn't care about these things. He only needed to seize all the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Pearls to truly achieve perfection.

He didn't plan to hand these pearls over to the so-called Holy Maiden. Instead, he intended to refine all the pearls, unify them, and form a true Seven Emotions and Six Desires cultivation method.

With this true Seven Emotions and Six Desires cultivation method, cultivating it once would be equivalent to successfully tempering his heart in the mortal world.

Of course, he also knew that the other twelve participants were all his enemies and had to be killed.

Li Chengfeng didn't rush to wander around the sect. Instead, he chose to calm down and carefully savor the cultivation method he had just obtained.

He felt that rather than blindly bumping around like a headless fly, hoping to find opportunities by chance, it would be better to wait for his opponents to come to him.

As long as he revealed a little bit of his aura, those opponents who coveted him would surely take the bait. When that time came, he could simply kill them with one strike, and wouldn't their treasures be easily obtained?

With this thought, Li Chengfeng boldly released his aura and leisurely cultivated and comprehended the cultivation method.

In the world of cultivation, strength is the foundation of everything. Only by constantly improving one's strength can one better protect oneself and those around them.

Speaking of that secret technique, the 'One Night of Spring Delight Turns to Rain Technique,' Li Chengfeng found it particularly interesting.

The name of this secret technique sounded mysterious and romantic, making him want to thoroughly study it and completely comprehend its essence.

And so, as Li Chengfeng delved deeper into the cultivation method and continuously practiced, his cultivation base also improved day by day.

One day, a unique Dao rhythm suddenly emanated from his body, spreading quietly like the fragrance of flowers, intoxicating those who smelled it.

Suddenly, his mind surged, like the first light of dawn illuminating all things, a flash of enlightenment appeared.

The 'love' that Li Chengfeng cultivated was originally a deep and affectionate partiality, but it was like a full moon with a missing corner, not yet perfect.

He urgently needed to carefully examine its subtleties and quickly deduce it, hoping to catch a glimpse of the whole picture.

Li Chengfeng's deduction of the cultivation method was like lightning and thunder, covering thousands of miles in an instant.

Although his cultivation was still shallow, only reaching the realm of tempering his heart in the mortal world, his understanding of the cultivation method was not inferior to that of an expert.

His mind raced, and as his understanding deepened, a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he exclaimed in sudden realization: "No, all wrong! Behind these cultivation methods, there are hidden flaws. Even if I collect all thirteen, it will be difficult to glimpse their complete mysteries."

As soon as these words came out, filled with disbelief, he carefully pondered, his eyes flashing with unique insights. So that's how it is, the truth is revealed.

Truly, the Dao is one foot tall, but the devil is ten feet tall. The other party's methods made him marvel.

He once thought that as long as he collected all thirteen cultivation methods, he would be able to master them and achieve supreme power. Little did he know that all of this had been planned many years ago. Countless disciples had gone through fire and water for the sect, but ultimately gained nothing.

All of this was not only aimed at Li Chengfeng, but had been going on for a long time. Xuanwu was just using it as an excuse to deal with enemies. The depth of this plan was chilling.

Li Chengfeng's eyes were like torches, and Xuanwu's unfathomable figure appeared in his mind again, causing him to be secretly vigilant.

However, he was not afraid because of this, only because Xuanwu had calculated everything, but ultimately missed one thing—Li Chengfeng's attainments in the deduction of cultivation methods had reached the point where he could infer three things from one, and even open up new paths.

Therefore, he devoted himself to deducing this 'partiality' cultivation method. The deeper he went, the more he felt its unspeakable wonders.

It turned out that the Dao of cultivation methods could also be integrated with human emotions. Partiality is where love is directed, where the heart is pleased, which is precisely the 'joy' in the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

Joy arises from the heart, and emotions follow intentions. The fusion of cultivation methods and emotions was so natural and harmonious, making him suddenly enlightened, as if he had entered a completely new world.

Love is actually deep affection. The fog in Li Chengfeng's heart suddenly dissipated, and his hearty laughter was like a great bell, shaking the surrounding air.

With this laughter, the cultivation method in his body suddenly changed, turning into a pure force of joy, flowing throughout his body.

This was the Joyful Cultivation, a crucial part of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires cultivation method, and now he had finally grasped its true meaning. As the Dao rhythm flowed, his cultivation became more rounded and flawless. This cultivation was a great advancement.

Just as he was immersed in this rare experience, ripples suddenly appeared in the space ahead, indicating that someone was quietly approaching.

The concealment technique used was extremely clever, difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect, but for Li Chengfeng, it was as clear as looking at the lines on his palm.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he already knew who was coming.

It was a round-faced cultivator with a slightly chubby figure, but with a unique temperament that made people feel close, as if he were harmless.

This person was named Shi Hong. He seemed young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but in the world of cultivation, age is often just an appearance, not to be relied upon.

Shi Hong cultivated the Great Compassion Emotion Technique, which came from the same source as Cheng Dingxiang, but his cultivation was deeper, and his understanding of the realm of great compassion was also more profound.

Li Chengfeng pretended not to notice and continued to cultivate leisurely, while Shi Hong was also a clever person, stopping before getting too close.

His eyes were like torches, staring at Li Chengfeng, and he sneered inwardly: "A mere waste, dare to comprehend the cultivation method here openly, without any concealment, isn't he deliberately luring us to come?

Looking at his cultivation, it's only the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he dares to be so arrogant. Either he has something to rely on, or he's just bluffing.

But in any case, this is tantamount to courting death."

Shi Hong didn't act rashly, but calmed down and pinched his fingers, quietly laying down unique restrictions around him.

Although these restrictions were not complicated, they contained his deep understanding of the art of restrictions, enough to trap cultivators in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

When he was a rogue cultivator, he had quite a bit of research on the art of restrictions, so he was confident in laying down these restrictions.

After laying down the restrictions, he observed Li Chengfeng again, only to see that the other party was still deducing the cultivation method, with continuous hand seals, elegant and extraordinary, disappearing without a trace after being cast.

Li Chengfeng sometimes pondered, sometimes cast hand seals again. This appearance made Shi Hong mistakenly believe that he was immersed in the edge of enlightenment, unable to attend to other matters.

Shi Hong sneered inwardly: "So that's how it is. This kid must be so engrossed in enlightenment that he has neglected his defense. Isn't this courting death?"

He sneered, and then pinched his fingers. A small sword flew out of his storage bag with a whoosh. The sword was surrounded by the meaning of compassion, turning into a stream of light, stabbing directly at Li Chengfeng's brow, intending to kill him with one blow.

However, just as the flying sword was about to touch Li Chengfeng, his figure suddenly disappeared. It turned out that it was just an illusion he had left behind.

Li Chengfeng appeared behind Shi Hong with a smile. Shi Hong was shocked, his mouth wide open, realizing that he was already in a desperate situation.

Sure enough, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and a long sword pierced through his body.
