Chapter 38: Spiritual Cultivation

"Xiao Bai, can you still make it?"

Under the heavy rain full of turbulent winds, the anxious Lin Yan asked worriedly.

Above his head, the little fox's body grew large, and like a big umbrella, she blocked all the wind and rain for him.

She could block it easily if it was just an ordinary rainy day. However, this was the Ancient forbidden land, so how could there be normal rain here?

The rain here was full of evil qi that could even melt their bones if stained by it.

Also, the wind here was like a sharp blade, cutting a stone into pieces easily with a simple gust of wind.

"I-It's…fine."

The voice of the little fox trembled.

At this moment, the snow-white fur on her body had scarred already, and the blood was trailing down her limbs, yet the little fox gritted her teeth and still insisted.

...

"I can't watch it anymore. I'm so angry with this little fox."

"Me too. If not for him, so many clansmen of our demon race wouldn't have to die."

"Ah, Little fox, quickly get out of there and let this sinful Heavenly Emperor die in the Ancient Forbidden Land directly ."

A group of Demon Clan Saints yelled at the Linglong Treasure Mirror as they couldn't look at her protecting Lin Yan, the future Heavenly Emperor.

Currently, she was fighting to the death for him.

And the reason behind this was simply because he had good looks, and the fish he grilled was delicious.

"The Heavenly Emperor actually had such a past, and she also saved his life many times. He clearly has a good relationship with this little fox of the demon race, but why was he so cruel to the demon race later?"

Looking at the scene before them, they muttered under their breath.

It was well known that the Heavenly Emperor was so ruthless to the demon race.

In the Lingxuan Continent, although the humans suppressed the demon race, they were incomparably strong. The Seven Demon Great Empire in the Lingxuan continent was the paradise of all demon races, and each was quite powerful.

Even the former Heavenly Emperor was not able to destroy them.

But these seven Demon Kingdoms were burned into ashes under the fury of the Heavenly Emperor.

In the end, if not for the rise of the Queen of All Demons, creating the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom with the remaining demons, they were afraid that the demon race would completely get extinct on the Lingxuan continent.

Regardless, they didn't know the cause of the Heavenly Emperor's bone-deep hatred for the demon race.

However, from the current situation alone, they never expected the young Heavenly Emperor to be saved by the little fox many times. Instead of showing gratitude, he held grudges against the demon race.

"Ungrateful and ruthless, this is the true face of the Heavenly Emperor. Do you guys still have any hope?"

Noticing the unusual look of the surrounding crowd, the Queen of All Demons sneered contemptuously.

Undoubtedly, the later Heavenly Emperor was cold and incomparable with his cruel methods.

Thinking about what the Heavenly Emperor did later, the doubts in their heart were dissipated.

The Heavenly Emperor was indeed an ungrateful person.

His end wasn't that surprising.

...

(Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)

With the wind and rain turning more fierce as the time passed, the injuries on the little fox's body also became more evident, and her body began to shake and sway.

Nevertheless, she never fell and kept Lin Yan firmly covered.

Lin Yan couldn't watch this anymore, so he attempted to run into the storm several times. However, he was pressed back with her paws.

"Be... at ease, with ...me ... Xiao Bai here, ...this is ...n-nothing."

The little fox's voice trembled as she comforted Lin Yan.

Lin Yan gave the name Xiao Bai to her.

At first, the little fox was not pleased with this name, but now, she began to call her this way.

Being pressed under the paws of Xiao Bai, Lin Yan didn't have the strength to break free.

While looking at the bruised Xiao Bai above, his heart ached severely, but a strange warmth was also well inside his heart.

When he was five years old, he suffered a tragic family disaster and didn't have anyone to care for him like this.

"Xiao Bai, let go of me, I promise I won't try to run again. Please, let me help you to withstand the storm together." Being pressed down by Xiao Bai, Lin Yan suddenly calmed down.

Hearing his words, Xiao Bai's claws slowly loosened.

Then, Lin Yan stood up and didn't continue to run. But instead, he sat on the ground in cultivating posture.

"The Origin of All, the Dao of Nature."

A dot of light, which coalesced out around him, rushed over to Xiao Bai above his head.

These streaks of light merged into Xiao Bai's body, immediately rejuvenating her spirit.

…

(Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror)

Including those Demon Saints, all were stunned at this moment.

They had been watching Lin Yan's every move all this time.

Hence, even Lin Yan's action of cultivating for two hours every day was clear to them.

Previously, they were laughing at Lin Yan because although he knew he had become a cripple, he persisted in cultivating like a fool, even knowing it would be futile.

But now, looking at the streaks of light that coalesced around Lin Yan, they were shocked to discover that Lin Yan's cultivation wasn't completely useless these days.

...

"The Origin of all, the Dao of Nature ...It is Spirit cultivation technique." Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Spirit Cultivation was an incredibly unique cultivation method in the Lingxuan Continent.

This cultivation technique was utterly contrary to the traditional cultivation method.

Spirit Cultivation could only be cultivated through the mind, not the body.

With the power of the mind, they could mobilize the incredible power of nature.

A strong Spirit practitioner was enough to fight with the most powerful immortals.

But even so, the number of cultivators who followed this Spirit cultivation was still very scarce.

It could even be said that there was none.

Because Spirit cultivation consisted of no techniques in aiding control over the spiritual qi, they had to sharpen their minds step by step.

More importantly, it was tough to practice as the Spirit cultivation was related to everything but only the mind.

Even if the same Spirit cultivator wanted to teach other Spirit cultivators, it was impossible.

Because their cultivation experience belongs only to them, others couldn't possibly learn from them.

Such cultivators don't have masters to teach and no fixed cultivation route. Also, they couldn't depend on the pills or other treasures to cultivate.

As a result of such harsh conditions, the number of cultivators who took the path of Spiritual cultivation was pitifully small in the entire Lingxuan Continent.

But now, Lin Yan had set foot on the path of spiritual cultivation.

Of course, this was also the only path he could take now.

His Heavenly Spirit body collapsed, his internal tendons and veins were destroyed, and he could no longer even condense his Dharma forms.

Except for Spiritual cultivation, no other cultivation method was no longer useful to him.

...

"How long has it been since he relied on his own comprehension and solidified his Spiritual cultivation technique?"

A Demon Sage said with a trembling tone.

While the other Demon Saints around them all stared in awe, the human race looked rather calm.

A person whose cultivation was ruined and had collapsed. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed there was no possibility of stepping into the cultivation path again.

But this didn't let Lin Yan give up.

Instead, he comprehended Spiritual cultivation and reopened his cultivation path.

Such talent was truly too terrifying.

...

Compared to these Demon Saints, the human cultivators around them looked much calmer at this moment.

After all, this was not the first time they had seen Lin Yan doing this.

Before, when Lin Yan condensed the dharma forms as if he was simply eating and drinking water, they were also like these demon saints, shocked and didn't know what was happening in front of them.

But having seen more of Lin Yan's inhuman talent, they have grown numb to it.

Turning their heads to look at those dumbfounded Demon Saints, the human cultivators felt a sense of superiority in their hearts.

"You guys find that shocking? Your jaws will drop if you see the 49 different Dao forms he had manifested over the past 3 years. And if you see him fighting the Sage Realm Cultivator when was only at Dao Entry as well, you will be so shocked that you will lose all your teeth…."
