Chapter 0066 Upgrade of the Heavenly Dao Engine

A new week, everyone’s support is much appreciated.

※

In a blink of an eye, several days passed. During these days, Qi Tian utilized every advantage and method he could muster, and in the end, to deal with the King Salamander, he even used up his only remaining Fourth Grade talisman, and finally used a Thunder Axe Talisman to eliminate the salamander group in the underwater cave.

Naturally, the hardship and danger he experienced during this time were terrifying. On many occasions, if Qi Tian did not act quickly and dodge in time, combined with the protective inner armor he was wearing, he would have already died within this cave.

His consumption in these few days was immense as well. Just the talismans he used were worth over ten thousand taels of silver. If he didn’t have so many spoils of war, the expenses would’ve been something he couldn’t afford even by selling everything he has. However, gains correspond with losses. In comparison to the high cost, his gains were also enormous. More than four hundred salamanders, all lying in his Storage Bag. These salamanders were worth a fortune, enough to cover his costs and even more, and moreover, Qi Tian also gained this Sacred Cultivation Place.

Qi Tian didn’t rush to climb onto the reef. He first arrived at the entrance to the cave connected to the outside world, spent some time, and cut down a large stone from the cave wall to block more than half of the entrance. This was to prevent any magical creatures from coming outside and disturbing his cultivation after he had cleared out the salamanders here.

After this, Qi Tian swam to the center of the lake, climbing onto the reef emerging from the water’s surface.

The moment he stood on it, Qi Tian couldn’t help exclaiming, “Fantastic.” The Spirit Qi here was too dense, a whole level or two higher than Han Chengnuo’s Cultivation Room, built at the cost of a fortune. A secret spot for cultivating like this was probably not casually available to anyone in the National Master Manor. If a private person wanted to build one, they would probably not be able to do so without over thirty thousand taels of gold.

There was also a drawback to Han Chengnuo’s Cultivation Room; it required a regular replacement of materials that provided Spirit Qi. However, this was not the case here. The Spirit Qi here was endless. It’s similar to the difference between natural beauty and surgically enhanced beauty.

Qi Tian had read many classics collected by Yu Chuan and knew that according to the common classifications in the Cultivation World, this underwater cave ought to be the coveted paradise of cultivators, and it should be rated as a top-grade first-class level. It was exceedingly rare, especially for Qi Tian in his current state, it was even more precious.

Qi Tian didn’t waste any time and began his cultivation soon after resting a bit.

In a blink of an eye, approximately ten more days passed. Qi Tian had used up all the middle-grade Essence Qi Pills and five-hundred-year-old ginseng remaining. Borrowing the natural conditions of this top-grade first-class paradise, he managed to clear two more meridians, bringing the total to twelve. His strength once again increased by six hundred pounds.

He spent a few more days trying to clear the fifth meridian in the Qi Cultivation 3rd Level, but he still failed.

So, he turned to practicing the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, bringing the seventh move “Tiger Sniffs Rose” and the eighth move “Tiger Ambition” to a highly accomplished state. These two are Low-grade Mysterious Level fist techniques, especially Tiger Ambition, which can increase fist strength by four hundred pounds. Adding the True Essence Power provided by the twelve meridians, he could punch with an astonishing force of four thousand pounds. This is the strength he obtained without using the Heavenly Dao Engine. Of course, such a punch would surely break his bones and tear his muscles. His physical strength was no longer able to keep up with his power enhancement.

After that, Qi Tian didn’t dare to continue cultivating. Instead, he began to hold the Fire Spirit Stone, storing more fire attribute Spirit Qi in his heart, and constantly practicing Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist. After several days of nearly endless cultivation, he successfully increased the frequency of his Fire Fist. Initially, he could possibly only activate Fire Fist once every ten punches. But now, he could certainly activate Fire Fist with every eight punches.

Upon calculating, Qi Tian had been in the Lianying Realm for a considerable period. In less than a month, it was time to leave the Lianying Realm. Qi Tian found that remaining in this first-class top-grade cave-estate wouldn’t contribute much to his progress. He had already achieved everything he could in a short amount of time. The rest, including practicing his fist, was a matter of slower progress. Remaining here might offer some improvement in efficiency but only to a limited extent.

It was time to leave. During Qi Tian’s perusal of the classics left behind by Yu Chuan, he has an unexpected surprise. The Lianying Realm had a great number of Tiger Demons, and there is a large Tiger Demon Tribe within Jia Nan Mountain.

At present, Qi Tian’s physical strength could not keep up with his power enhancement, which would be an obstacle and shackle during battles, greatly detrimental to him. There was a pressing need for him to capture some Tiger Demons, use their tendons, bones, and flesh as the main ingredients to refine some Tiger Roar Pills, thereby accelerating the training of Tiger Golden Body Skills.

The Tiger Demon Tribe was not close to his current location, so he had to hurry. But before leaving, Qi Tian needed to deal with this paradise. Although he couldn’t take this place with him, he did not want to do something like destroying it completely either. First, he used the remaining gourds to fill them with the Spirit Qi rich spring water here. Then he stretched out his right hand, wanting to see if the Heavenly Dao Engine was interested in the Spirit Qi in this paradise.

Whoosh… Whoosh…

Two consecutive sounds rang out as two whirlwinds flew out of Qi Tian’s palms, heading towards the lake.

Qi Tian wasn’t surprised that the Heavenly Dao Engine was interested in the lake, but what he didn’t expect was that the Heavenly Dao Engine released two Transporting Whirlwinds. Up until now, the Heavenly Dao Engine had only released one Transporting Whirlwind. When had it turned into two? Had there always been two, or had the Heavenly Dao Engine upgraded after he fed it a hundred spirit stones last time, resulting in an extra Transporting Whirlwind?

Qi Tian’s eyes suddenly brightened. If it was the latter, that meant the Heavenly Dao Engine still had a lot of potential. His cultivation journey could become as fast as taking a plane if the Heavenly Dao Engine could continuously upgrade and provide more help.

Thinking about it, Qi Tian started to laugh.

Qi Tian stayed in the cave for half the day to let the Heavenly Dao Engine consume the Spirit Qi dispersed in the water and air of the lake. And if Qi Tian hadn’t stopped it, it would have almost consumed the Spirit Spring.

Qi Tian wasn’t sure whether he would come back to Lianying Realm later, so he decided to leave the tranquil heavenly land behind as his backup plan. If the Heavenly Dao Engine consumed it, he would lose everything.

Finally, after lingering and taking one last look at the natural paradise he had been in for over a month, he pushed the stone blocking the cave exit, and swam out via the stream leading outside.

Along the way, Qi Tian encountered several demons, but thankfully they were all solo and not very powerful. Qi Tian made short work of them. He kept the best one and let the Heavenly Dao Engine consume the others as fuel.

Just as he was about to climb over another mountain, Qi Tian saw signs of activity in the distance. The land was in disarray, trees toppled or sheared off, evidence of fire and frost. These traces could only be left by battling cultivators, not demons.

Qi Tian’s expression shifted. He was likely going to encounter native cultivators once more. He quickly dressed himself in traditional cultivator garb, swapped out his shoes for wooden clogs, replaced his weapon with a long, thin blade worn by the local cultivators.

After a brief adjustment, Qi Tian appeared just like a local cultivator. As long as he didn’t speak, no one would recognize him as an outsider.

He took a deep breath, slung the hunted demon animal over his shoulder, and started climbing the mountain.

Once he reached the top, he noticed a narrow valley stretching beyond, separated from his current location by a river. Across the water, he saw a town bustling with local cultivators. To his surprise, he even saw a cultivator riding a large bird across the sky.

This was Guchuan City, as mentioned in Yu Chuan’s collected texts. It was a famous city in Jia Nan Mountain, home to many cultivators. If Qi Tian wanted to reach the Tiger Demon Tribe, he would have to pass through Guchuan City.

Qi Tian observed his surroundings and noticed a bridge over the river. So, he headed towards it.

As he approached the bridge, he saw that it was connected to a large road leading outside Jia Nan Mountain. At the bridge’s entrance, two cultivators at the Qi Refining Initial Stage stood guard. Every cultivator wanting to enter Guchuan City across the bridge had to give them something, likely an entrance tax.
