The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 22 Shattering the Diamond Cutter with My Own Hands
In this way, Liu Shan stayed in the city for five consecutive days. Every day, Liu Shan would use the method of changing the world to change his appearance and go to a new stone shop to gamble on stones.

Every day he had new gains, and he would stop when the crowds of onlookers grew. Even so, there were still people following him every day, so he burned to death batch after batch of fearless rookies.

In the following days, only ordinary source stones could be cut out from the stone every day. No exotic source stones or precious materials were cut out, so it did not attract much attention.

After getting more than 100,000 jin of source stones, Liu Shan stopped. After all, Liu Shan was not a holy body, so his consumption of resources was not that terrible. It was enough, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The Yuantian technique is truly magical. After practicing the Yuantian technique, the Shifang becomes the Yuantian Master’s own treasury. Whenever he is short of Yuantian, he can just come and get it.

Everything in the Northern Territory is done, it's time to return to the Eastern Wasteland.

When they arrived at the headquarters of Taixuan Sect in the Northern Territory, they did not expect that the three people Hua Yunfei had sent to help Liu Shan were still waiting there. So Liu Shan and the three people took the teleportation array and returned to the Eastern Wasteland.

Liu Shan asked the three of them to go back to Taixuanmen first. He planned to look for Ye Fan first. He didn't know how he was doing after not seeing him for such a long time, and what adventures he had encountered.

After arriving in Yan State and searching for a while, there was no trace of Ye Fan.

So Liu Shan went to the six major caves in Yan State respectively and found several classmates who were still practicing there. He left a thousand kilograms of source stones for each of them.

As classmates, and living in a different place, Liu Shan still wanted to help them within his ability.

Liu Shan got more than 100,000 jin of source stones this time, 1,000 jin of source stones per person, a total of more than 10,000 source stones. These are just a drop in the bucket for Liu Shan.

But the thousand kilograms of source stone they obtained was enough for them to practice for a long time. There was no need for more, and they might not be able to keep it.

In Yan State, with their qualifications, after getting the help of these source stones, they will definitely be able to cultivate to the Dao Palace realm easily.

Daogong Realm is also the level of the head of the sect or the supreme elder. At that time, they will be willing to go to a better sect, or act arrogantly in Yan State.

After gathering with his classmates, Liu Shan came to Lingxu Cave Heaven again and met Elder Wu Qingfeng who taught them the basics of cultivation.

Elder Wu Qingfeng was very happy to know that Liu Shan had already joined the Xingfeng of Taixuan Sect. He also asked Liu Shan many questions about Taixuan Sect.

He was not surprised that potential disciples would leave Lingxu Cave Heaven. Just like Xianlingyan Weiwei, after failing to improve in Lingxu Cave Heaven, she joined Yaoguang Holy Land.

After reminiscing about the past with Elder Wu Qingfeng, Liu Shan left him a thousand kilograms of source stones and asked him to tell Ye Fan to look for him again when he saw him in the future. Then he left.

After leaving Yan State, Liu Shan flew all the way to the Fire Region. The Fire Region of Jin State in the southern region of the Eastern Wasteland is a peculiar place that has existed since ancient times and has been burning for who knows how many years.

It does not rely on grass or trees, and has no magma, yet it just burns for a long time.

The flames here also have mysterious powers. When refining equipment in the Fire Domain, it will be easier to take shape, easier to carve the texture of the avenue in the equipment, and form mysterious principles and truths. Therefore, many powerful people come to the Fire Domain from afar to refine equipment. Precious materials that have been wasted in refining can often be seen in the Fire Domain.

The Fire Region is divided into nine layers, and the flames on each layer are different. In the original text, Ye Fan relied on the Bodhi seed and walked to the eighth layer.

When Liu Shan came to the Fire Region, he did not intend to refine weapons. Although he did not have immortal gold, as a small scoundrel with no background, he probably could not get immortal gold in the early stage of cultivation. So he planned to use the divine fire of the Fire Region to train his body, and then refine it into a body that could resist the bare-handed anti-imperial weapon.

Arriving at the first level of the Fire Domain, the red flames were burning. Liu Shan found a place and sat cross-legged in the middle of the flames. He used the Fire God Furnace to calm himself down, carefully attracted the red flames, and began to train his body.

The effect was not very good. After all, Liu Shan's physical strength had reached the limit of 180,000 kilograms. This little flame was just a drizzle for him.

He simply stopped using his mana to protect himself and just let the flames burn his body. He felt that it was not enough, so he attracted a small amount of flames to train his internal organs and bones, and then used the flames to burn his mana.

Liu Shan discovered that the magic power would become more refined after being burned by fire in the fire zone.

After staying on the first floor for a few days, Liu Shan came to the second floor. The flames on the first floor only refined Liu Shan's magic power, but had little effect on improving his physical body. He attracted the flames every day and let them burn his internal organs and bones. It was a little helpful at the beginning, but it was useless later.

The flames on the second layer were dark blue. The flames here did not cause much damage to Liu Shan's body. Liu Shan had no choice but to continue using the flames here to refine his magic power.

The third layer of milky white flames was much more powerful, and could easily burn Liu Shan's body. However, after the Phoenix Regeneration Technique restored his body, it did not improve much. Liu Shan realized that it might be his cultivation that limited the improvement of his body. The fourth layer of black flames, the flames here were shaking like dark ghosts. Liu Shan had just walked in when he found that his mana was rapidly depleting. He hurriedly retreated to the third layer. He sacrificed the Lihuo Shenlu to protect himself, and then walked in again.

After passing the fourth floor, I came to the fifth floor. The flame here was purple and was called Purple Air Coming from the East.

The flames here were extremely overbearing. Even with the protection of the Lihuo Divine Furnace, Liu Shan still felt extremely hot.

After finding a place, Liu Shan planned to use the fire here to refine his magic power. Since there was no way to improve his physical body for the time being, he could only improve his magic power.

Just now, he attracted a small wisp of purple flame, which followed the magic power and burned towards Liu Shan's body. "Whoosh" the flame followed the magic power and burned towards Liu Shan's fingers, palms, and forearms...

Puff, Liu Shan broke all his arms. The purple arms fell to the ground instantly and turned into ashes.

I was careless. I didn't expect the purple flame here to be so overbearing. Fortunately, it was just a trace, otherwise this time it would not be as simple as losing an arm. Liu Shan thought with lingering fear.

Taking out a large piece of source stone, Liu Shan began to absorb the essence of the source stone, then activated the Phoenix Regeneration Technique and began to recover from his injuries. A new arm grew out.

"Puff" Liu Shan spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was not because of the physical training that he was injured, nor was it because he was burned by the purple flame again. Instead, Liu Shan shattered his own weapon - the diamond cutter. He broke the diamond cutter apart and turned it back into a Taoist pattern.

The Vajra Cutter is his natal weapon, connecting his mind and spirit. It was originally used to prove his truth, but now it has been shattered by Liu Shan and turned back to its original form.

Liu Shan had no other choice. Although he knew that this would cause great harm to himself, without the immortal gold, the tool he would forge in the future would definitely be inferior to others, so it would be better not to have it. Liu Shan planned to use these Dao patterns to make a unique "tool".

He used the Phoenix Regeneration Technique to continue recovering from his injuries. The Phoenix Regeneration Technique was indeed a secret technique created by the ruthless emperor. With the help of the Originium, Liu Shan recovered from his injuries that were almost serious. It took him half a month.

He opened the lid of the Lihuo God Furnace and began to absorb the purple flames in the fire area. After absorbing it for a whole day, the surrounding purple flames became fainter.

Liu Shan encouraged himself, and then he flew into the Lihuo Divine Furnace. Although the Lihuo Divine Furnace was full of purple fire, the Lihuo Divine Furnace was controlled by Liu Shan after all, so these purple fires did not burn towards Liu Shan like the outside world.

Sunk into his mind, Liu Shan began to communicate with the Dao patterns. He tried to use the Dao patterns to form words one by one. These words were exactly the nine emperor characters recorded in the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.

It turned out that Liu Shan was going to imitate the ruthless emperor and refine his body into a unique weapon. The difference was that the ruthless emperor had already become an emperor, and then a new divine fetus was bred from the old body, and the divine fetus refined the old body into the Heaven Devouring Demon Pot, an extremely spiritual imperial weapon. Liu Shan was going to refine his body like refining a weapon, and refining his body was refining a weapon.

The Dao patterns formed the word "Emperor" one by one, and then these words "Emperor" disappeared into the flesh and blood bit by bit. Liu Shan kept forming the word "Emperor" like this, and then the word "Emperor" kept disappearing.

Liu Shan began to communicate with the purple flame in the Lihuo Divine Furnace again. With the help of the Lihuo Divine Furnace, the purple fire began to burn his body little by little. Under Liu Shan's control, the purple fire burned very slowly.

While engraving the imperial text and refining his body with purple fire, Liu Shan really treated his own body as a tool and began to refine and burn it.

This process was extremely dangerous. Even with the help of the Lihuo Divine Furnace, Liu Shan was often burned by the purple fire or shocked and mentally disturbed by the Chinese character "Emperor" formed by the Dao patterns.

After half a month, Liu Shan integrated all the Dao patterns produced by the four realms of the wheel sea in his body into his flesh and blood, and the imperial pattern also vaguely emerged.

Liu Shan sensed his own strength, 120,000 jin. He had already broken the limit, so this path was feasible.

When his cultivation level is higher, he will engrave all the hundreds of imperial characters he heard from the small bronze coffin into his flesh and blood.

"By that time, my body will probably be independent, and a slight movement should be able to shatter the void." Liu Shan thought happily.

It's time to go back to Taixuanmen. Calculating the time, the God King Jiang Taixu should be back to the Jiang family soon. When he comes to Taixuanmen to find me, I will discuss the alliance with the Jiang family with him.

What Liu Shan didn't know was that during the time he was practicing, Jiang Taixu had already gone to Wanchu Holy Land and brought back Fairy Caiyun in a forceful manner.

Because Liu Shan rescued Jiang Taixu two years earlier, Fairy Caiyun has not yet run out of life. She has been taken back to the Jiang family by Jiang Taixu. After Jiang Taixu returned to the Jiang family, he sent people to Taixuanmen to look for Liu Shan, but unfortunately Liu Shan was not there. However, the Jiang family has sent people to discuss the alliance between the two families with Taixuanmen.
