Chapter 0247: 0247
Heaven's Equal Peak, Yin Yang Dao Palace .
This was the highest palace on Heaven's Equal Peak . It was extremely luxurious . Although it was just a palace, it was bigger than the Imperial City of Dong Yue Wu . All kinds of build-ups were constructed along the precipitous cliff, and many of the walls were inscribed with spirit designs that would draw the spiritual qi from the surroundings and fortify the walls .
The Shushan Immortal Sect had a history of a million years . In the world of numbers, one yuan was more than 120,000 years;therefore, this million year history spanned about eight yuan . It was anybody's guess how many of the eight yuan that the Yin Yang Dao Palace had been standing for . In this world, non-living things abided longer than living things . Wu Yu walked within the vacant expanse of the palace and pictured all the sword cultivators who had cultivated and reached enlightenment within this place .
The place where he sat in a lotus position absorbed the spiritual qi from the entire Heaven's Equal Peak, funneled by spirit designs . All of it was channeled towards Wu Yu . Countless sword cultivators had sat in this position before him .
Yin Yang Dao Palace was a name that he had come up with .
Although the contest at the Mountain of Swords and Immortals was proceeding on at a furious pace, Wu Yu was still quite calm .
"Only with more power can I shine brightly amidst such a battlefield . "
Perhaps many people were waiting for him to quickly make an appearance, especially after news of Zhang Futu's murder had spread .
For now, Shen Xingyao only watched him . In the end, the notion of whether he would become Shen Xingyao's disciple was an answer that many were even more anxious than Wu Yu to know .
"On this road of cultivation, it does not matter what kind of disaster or commotion is going on . One still has to find inner calm . One should seek dao enlightenment when it is time to seek dao enlightenment . And fight when it is time to fight!"
Yin Yang Dao Palace was the most central palace, and Wu Yu was sitting at the most central position . It was vast and empty around him, and mortal eyes could not even see the four walls around . Even the ceiling above was more than 10 zhang high .
In this vast palace, the copious amounts of spiritual qi were sucked in, circulating within the palace . Wu Yu was at the middle of the vortex, frantically absorbing the vast amounts of spiritual qi . He used the Great Way of Immortality Art's Jindan Condensation Wondrous Art to shape the spiritual qi and refine his Jindan . He incorporated the spiritual qi into his Jindan .
This was a dry, tedious, and repetitive process . Yet it required one's full concentration, and a strict adherence to the procedure .
Even with the excellent quality of Wu Yu's Jindan and the Great Way of Immortality Art, he had to take it step by step, aided by Golden Essence Pills, in order to go further .
But Wu Yu was now as poor as winter . He did not have many merits left .
Even if he had Golden Essence Pills, he would be frugal with them . After all, the Jindan that he had crafted step by step had to be more robust .
Besides this, Wu Yu still had many free days, and he spent them on two things . Firstly, he refined immortal medicines, and very quickly expended all the immortal essences and other materials that he had with him . He had made many Spirit Concentration Pills and other ordinary immortal medicines, but had yet to create Golden Essence Pills . This still required an even stronger immortal fire and more refined techniques .
Next, it was a deeper understanding of the Yin Yang Heaven-Earth-Void Sword Art . After his fight with Situ Gongde, he had begun to make inroads into this technique, laying down some foundations . Developing them in the future would not be as difficult .
"I still have two months before the external challenge of the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals ends . And then I have seven more months before the entire battle of the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals ends . Within these seven months, I must at least reach the third tier of the Jindan Dao Realm, and also do my best to completely master the void sword technique . "
Wu Yu planned it out .
If he could complete these two goals, then forget the first rank on the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals - even the so-called demon that was Zhao Tianjian's son, even if there were many Huang sword rank disciples - Wu Yu would not be afraid .
However, Wu Yu was very clear that refining his Jindan was even more difficult than refining his spiritual sources! Many people were stuck at the Jindan Dao Realm because of their Jindan Condensation Wondrous Art limiting them . Their talent was wasted, and their spiritual enlightenment was insufficient to proceed further .
Even in cultivation, many things were naturally bestowed, and could not be forced .
In these seven months, these two goals would see many changes, and might not be completed .
Crucially, Wu Yu had smoothly progressed for half a month before he stopped . He gazed out at the empty plains and could not help but be worried . Why had Nangong Wei not come to find him?
"News of my location at Warring Immortals Hall has spread throughout the entire Common Sword Domain . This concerns my killing of Zhang Futu, and will definitely spread very quickly . Wei Er must know of my whereabouts . Why has she not come? Could it be that she was really caught by people from the Clear Sky of Shushan because of me?
"She must be the heir of some expert, although she did not tell me what was the reason for her escaping in the first place . If she has been brought back, then forget the chance to say goodbye, will she . . . . "
Thinking of the year that he had spent together with that girl, he had become used to her presence . And now that she was not by his side, Wu Yu was a little uneasy .
"The road of cultivation is incomparably long . If it is just me, it would be a little lonely . " In this expansive and vacant hall, Wu Yu soon felt a crushing sense of loneliness .
After thinking about it closely, he did not even have a single brother here at Shushan . Only Nangong Wei was close to him, and yet now she was gone without even a word of farewell .
Suddenly, he thought of the words “dao companion . ”
"Besides mutual collaboration and spending their lives together, the dao companionship of martial cultivators has an even more profound meaning than the marriage of ordinary mortals . They will walk the path of cultivation together, and cultivate together . They will live and die together, and share their fortunes and misfortunes equally .
"Dao companions are even closer than husband and wife . All that they have is shared .
"In one's life, there will only be one dao companion . Turning one's back on one's dao companion will cause one to be spurned by the world of dao . "
