With a thought, and the Vast Sky Technique in the internal storage appeared in front of Ye Yan. He impatiently flipped through it, and with just one look, he was so happy that he almost cried out in joy.
The spell synthesized by the system was even more detailed than the thoughts he had just inputted! There were some useful functions that he had not thought of that were all mentioned in the spell. The Vast Sky Technique was a staircase-type spell that was divided into five levels, and each level had great effects.
The first level, Impurity Removal. Trash such as dirt and impurities could be removed with a thought of the spell caster, disappearing into space.
The second level, Qi Removal. There were many gases in the world, such as air, oxygen, and some invisible gases like spiritual qi or ghost qi, which could be purified by the spell in its second level.
The third level, Mind Clearing. It allowed the spell caster to invade the mind of others and eliminate the target’s obsessions and other thoughts, commonly known as an expiation of the spirit.
The next two levels were what Ye Yan looked forward to the most, and also the most valuable.
The fourth level, Ten Thousand Spells. According to the introduction, Ye Yan roughly understood what it was. It should be something similar to enlightenment, which forced spells or genuine qi into someone’s body to achieve a rapid increase in strength.
The fifth level and also the most offensive level, Soul Shake! He could wipe out all the enemies he saw with this method!
The more Ye Yan looked at the spell, the happier he was. The content was almost completely in line with his thoughts, which was so cool!
“However, there’s still a matter of time,” Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and touched his chin, “As the sect master, I have many official matters to deal with, and I still have to study the Dharmic technique. How do I have time to cultivate the spells?”
[Ding! Due to the host’s strong desire to improve and the fact that he’s also the sect master, the system will thus introduce a high-level cultivation function. All spells will be learned immediately when the host reads them, and the host doesn’t need to cultivate them himself.]
[Host, please develop your sect as soon as possible and increase your strength quickly.]
Great! The system took his words to heart. What a good system! Ye Yan exclaimed in joy, his excitement overflowing, “System, can this self-cultivation function solve the problem of comprehending the Dharmic technique at the same time?”
[You can’t have the best of both worlds. The self-cultivation function is not applicable to the Dharmic technique because the latter has an inseparable karmic relationship with the host. The host must comprehend it step by step for it to be successful.]
The system answered Ye Yan’s question quickly, but the content this time disappointed him. That being said, the system came up with another suggestion.
[Note: If the host is willing to give up on becoming a celestial in this realm and become an unaffiliated cultivator, the system can unlock the ability for the host to break through without cultivation.]
Hearing the system’s answer, Ye Yan was a little disappointed, but he put his emotions away quickly. So be it if he couldn’t understand the Dharmic technique straight away like his spells. The system had already given him many practical functions, so he could indeed cultivate the Dharmic technique by himself. Besides, he would be able to use the technique more freely if he comprehended it himself.
As for giving up on the celestial path, it was impossible. What was celestial cultivation about? It was to become an immortal celestial! It wasn’t as if Ye Yan had lost his mind. With the automatic cultivation function, what was there to worry about becoming a celestial? It was just a matter of spending a few more spirit stones and completing missions.
Looking at his current situation, he had obtained his first spell book. Through the system’s at-a-glance learning function, the spell poured into his mind like a tide, and he learned it in two to three seconds.
“Let’s test it first and see how practical it is,” Ye Yan raised his head and looked around the house. Then, he smiled lightly as if he had found his target.
“Impurity removal, go!” He raised a hand and quickly made a few hand seals in the blink of an eye. Then, he pointed in the air. With a buzz, the air rippled and a stream of light flew out. The next second, the entire house was cleaned up!
The fine dust on the roof in the corner disappeared, and even the worms in a certain wooden board had been removed. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. With a spell, the room was clean!
Ye Yan used Impurity Removal to clean the small house, then carefully sensed the changes in his body.
“There’s no change in my spiritual power, and I’m not feeling unwell for the time being…” Perhaps it was because Impurity Removal was a small skill that consumed little spiritual power consumed, as soon as there was a space in his spiritual power tank, new spiritual power filled in. However, he couldn’t be sure. If it was because his strength had improved, this bit of spiritual power was nothing.
Ye Yan sighed and looked at Chen Geng who was still in a trance. An idea emerged in his mind. If Chen Geng could learn this spell, he would have a comparison then.
Ye Yan didn’t plan to use the next four levels of the spell for now.
First of all, there was no target for the spell to be cast on for the time being. Although there was Chen Geng, it was better to forget about trying out Mind Clearing or Ten Thousand Spells on him in case it caused any trouble later.
In addition, it could be seen that the effects of each level of the spell would double, and the mental power and spiritual power required were different.
Ye Yan was just a new celestial cultivator. If he used it, he might overdraw his life force and die due to the exhaustion of spiritual power and other conditions.
As such, it was best to take it safely.
At noon, Chen Geng opened his eyes. It was not because of any problems with his cultivation, but because he was hungry.
“Brother Yan, can we eat now? I’m starving and I don’t have any energy left!” Chen Geng looked at Ye Yan with some anticipation.
Ye Yan estimated the time as if he was considering something, then said frankly, “Alright, let’s go down the mountain to get water. We’ll catch two hares later and cook rabbit legs!”
Chen Geng’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard this. Among his peers in the village, who didn’t know that Brother Yan was the best at catching rabbits?
In the mountains, other people might not be able to catch a rabbit all day, but Brother Yan could clear out a nest of rabbits in a short time. The excited Chen Geng hurriedly picked up two small wooden buckets and followed Ye Yan down the mountain.
Dumen Village’s river came from the mountains. The two of them had originally planned to go upstream to get water, but there were many ferocious beasts hidden there. For safety, they had to return to the village entrance.
“Comfortable!” Chen Geng lowered his head and washed his face. He breathed in the cool air and felt very comfortable, “After I become a celestial, I’ll stay in Dumen Village and bask in the sun. When I’m hungry, I’ll use spells to capture a few fish and prawns. This kind of life is too great!”
Ye Yan also washed away his fatigue, saying happily, “That’s right. After becoming a celestial, life will become much more comfortable.”
The two of them washed up, then took the wooden buckets they brought, and began to fill them with water. Not only would the water be used for food, but was also the sect’s daily water for the next few days.
While Ye Yan was getting water, he looked up and looked around. Suddenly, the corner of his eyes flashed as if he found something. His whole body quivered, and he called Chen Geng hurriedly, “Geng, quickly look, isn’t that…”
“It’s Liu Kan!” Before Ye Yan finished, Chen Geng immediately exclaimed.
As if he realized that he had lost his composure, he quickly lowered his voice, “Shouldn’t Liu Kan be locked up by his mother? Why is he out to fetch water today?”
Dumen Village had a local tycoon, Liu Hui, also known as Old Liu. The Liu family’s financial resources were unquestionable in Dumen Village. They were most definitely the richest in the village, and Liu Kan was Liu Hui’s eldest grandson.
Ye Yan raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have heard something unusual from Chen Geng’s words, “What’s wrong? Can’t he fetch water?”
“Sigh!” Chen Geng immediately smiled bitterly, “Brother Yan, you don’t know how strict Liu Kan’s mother is. She forces him to study and doesn’t allow him to do any work. Even if someone asks him to help carry some things, she’ll get angry, let alone fetch water. Also, Mrs. Liu doesn’t allow him to play with us. Look at him now, he seems so lonely.”
To be honest, Ye Yan usually didn’t hear much about Liu Kan, but now he couldn’t help but feel a little sympathetic. He looked up at the figure who was fetching water slowly in the distance.
