After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Earth Immortal legacy!
Ye Qingxuan suppressed his inner excitement, closed his eyes tightly, and began sifting through the information flooding his mind for details related to Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.
He quickly found the secret method for refining the World Pearl and the technique for opening a Cave Heaven or Blessed Land.
According to the information from the Earth Immortal legacy,
the opening of a Blessed Land was largely similar to a Blessed Land Cultivator contracting a spirit land, with no significant difference.
As for opening a Cave Heaven, it was like a Blessed Land Cultivator contracting a Blessed Land—it also required separating a portion of one’s essence, energy, and spirit origin to fuse into the World Pearl. This was the key to controlling the Cave Heaven or Blessed Land.
The World Pearl, as the vessel for the Earth Immortal legacy, had already been refined by the mighty expert who left the legacy behind.
Ye Qingxuan only needed to refine the World Pearl according to the secret method, fuse it with his own essence, energy, and spirit origin, and then implant it into a spatial node.
After understanding this information, Ye Qingxuan frowned!
The very first step he took in opening his Blessed Land—using his innate clone, the Eternal Turtle, to contract the land in his place—had already deviated from the orthodox Earth Immortal cultivation method.
He wondered if this would have any negative impact on his future cultivation of the Earth Immortal path.
Moreover, he wasn’t particularly keen on following the traditional Earth Immortal path.
Although the traditional Earth Immortal path offered immense benefits to cultivators, the karmic constraints in the later stages were equally formidable.
In the later stages, the bond between the Cave Heaven or Blessed Land and the cultivator would deepen, potentially becoming a weakness for the cultivator themselves. This was not what Ye Qingxuan wanted.
Lost in thought, Ye Qingxuan recalled the Eternal Turtle and the World Pearl in his mind. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he murmured hesitantly:
“Should I… give it a try?”
This sudden idea lingered in his mind, echoing persistently.
After just a moment, Ye Qingxuan steeled his heart, a determined glint appearing in his eyes. He said to himself:
“Since I’ve already strayed from the path from the start, let’s stray a little further!”
Having made his decision!
After refining the World Pearl within his mind space using the secret method from the Earth Immortal legacy, Ye Qingxuan turned his gaze to his innate clone, the Eternal Turtle. With a single thought, the Eternal Turtle vanished from his mind in the next instant.
“Hahaha, it actually works!”
The first step went very smoothly, and even Ye Qingxuan, with his usually composed personality, couldn’t help but lose his composure for a moment.
His divine sense poured into the World Pearl. At the center of its gray, misty space was none other than his vanished innate clone, the Eternal Turtle.
He planned to use the Eternal Turtle to bear the Cave Heaven, fully merging his innate clone with the Cave Heaven to gain control over the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
If successful, according to the characteristics of the Eternal Turtle after contracting the blessed land, he can completely avoid the cause and effect of the blessed land, remain outside, and still enjoy all the benefits brought by the blessed land.
In the future, when the Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands merged into a single Minor Thousand World, he would essentially have an entire Minor Thousand World as his innate clone.
Moreover, it would be a world clone possessing the Eternal Turtle’s unique characteristic, fully capable of shielding him from the myriad karmic ties generated by the world.
Contemplating this future prospect, Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath. With a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, he carefully manipulated the World Pearl, attempting to extract it from his mind space.
Amidst Ye Qingxuan’s tense emotions, the World Pearl instantly appeared in his palm the next moment.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan broke into a relieved smile and let out a sigh:
“As expected, with the World Pearl acting as a barrier, the Eternal Turtle is no longer subjected to external pressure this time!”
After retrieving the World Pearl, Ye Qingxuan began guiding the Eternal Turtle to release its own source. Using the Earth Immortal secret method, he continuously fused the Eternal Turtle’s source with the World Pearl, preparing for the Eternal Turtle’s integration into the Cave Heaven!
With the preliminary steps completed smoothly, the next stage was to implant the World Pearl into a spatial node.
Originally, with his current cultivation level, Ye Qingxuan would be incapable of this step. However, he was now a Blessed Land Cultivator, and the Qingxuan Blessed Land he controlled was currently located within the inner layer of the Di Xuan Realm.
Within the inner layer of the Di Xuan Realm, not far from the Qingxuan Blessed Land, numerous spatial nodes existed.
These spatial nodes were essentially channels through which the inner layer of the Di Xuan Realm absorbed chaotic energy from the outside. And chaotic energy was the key to the Cave Heaven’s continuous growth.
Ye Qingxuan controlled the Qingxuan Blessed Land to sense a relatively large spatial node nearby. He then swiftly threw the World Pearl and used the power of the Blessed Land to channel it through the Blessed Land into that spatial node.
After successfully implanting the World Pearl into the spatial node, Ye Qingxuan immediately activated the secret method to awaken the World Pearl.
Within the World Pearl were mechanisms arranged by the mighty expert who left the Earth Immortal legacy, allowing it to autonomously open a Cave Heaven.
Otherwise, with Ye Qingxuan’s current cultivation level, even with the aid of the World Pearl, he would be insufficient to open a complete Cave Heaven.
The awakened World Pearl began voraciously devour the chaotic energy outside the spatial node, accumulating energy to open the Cave Heaven.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingxuan’s innate clone, the Eternal Turtle, under his deliberate manipulation, began changing form and merging with the World Pearl.
Seeing everything proceed according to plan, Ye Qingxuan finally relaxed:
“Everything’s going smoothly. Now, we just need to wait for enough energy to accumulate to open the Cave Heaven!”
Based on his sense, it would likely take about three months.
During this time, he had no intention of doing anything else. With the Cave Heaven’s opening imminent, his mind was preoccupied.
Retrieving a communication talisman, he sent a message to Ye Zhaoleng and Ye Zhaoyu outside the Blessed Land, instructing them to build their own cave residences. Afterward, Ye Qingxuan began meticulously examining the Earth Immortal legacy within his mind.
Although the legacy below the Immortal Realm had already integrated into his mind, the sheer volume of information was overwhelming and required time for him to absorb and digest.
Ye Qingxuan first sought out and examined the cultivation techniques for Earth Immortals.
The result? There weren’t any.
Well, not exactly none—it’s just that Earth Immortal cultivation techniques were highly unique, essentially varying from person to person.
The cultivation techniques for the Earth Immortal path required the cultivator themselves to comprehend them personally!
That’s right—comprehend them on their own, derived from the Cave Heaven or Blessed Land they opened!
Within the Earth Immortal legacy, the cultivation techniques were more like teachings—guiding cultivators on how to commune with the world of their Cave Heaven or Blessed Land, comprehending techniques that perfectly suited themselves.
The techniques comprehended by Earth Immortal cultivators could be named by themselves or simply referred to as Earth Immortal Arts!
Furthermore, within the Earth Immortal legacy, there was a special technique called the Earth Immortal Body!
The Earth Immortal Body also varied from person to person, or rather, varied according to the Cave Heaven or Blessed Land. This was because the Earth Immortal Body was cultivated through the tempering of the physical body using the dual origin of the Cave Heaven or Blessed Land, evolving naturally.
Different characteristic of Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands resulted in different Earth Immortal Bodies. A first-tier Cave Heaven or Blessed Land could only tempering a first-tier Earth Immortal Body, corresponding to the Qi Refining realm.
Ye Qingxuan wasn’t resistant to this cultivation method of Earth Immortals; on the contrary, he felt somewhat eager to try.
His strongest talent was his own comprehension.
However, Ye Qingxuan didn’t rush into cultivation. After all, the Cave Heaven hadn’t been opened yet, so he could only patiently continue reading further.
