It was utterly unprecedented to have concluded the cultivation based on The Refining Divine Pithy Formula within three days. If it had been anyone else rather than Lin Xiao, Li Taixuan would definitely have leaped in ecstasy.
The sparkles of excitement soon faded out in Li Taixuan's mind, his eyebrows were already tightly knitted.
His martial uncle — Lin Xiao boasted a cultivation competence much more formidable than Li Taixuan imagined. Even if he made Lin Xiao pick otherwise, any other cultivation methods might be a waste of time for Lin Xiao as well.
Busy wracking his brain, Li Taixuan exerted himself to identify a cultivation method book suitable for Lin Xiao in his mind. Nevertheless, he had no option but to give up on his search after a long time.
Gazing at Lin Xiao, Li Taixuan felt split down in the middle and thought to himself, "It was a hard-won discovery for the sect to have had Lin Xiao — a once-in-blue-moon talent. However, the sect didn't have any cultivation methods equaling Lin Xiao's capacity. I'm literally leading him astray."
Li Taixuan had never felt so dreadfully helpless before.
It was right then that Li Taixuan sensed something strange. He was struck slack-jawed the moment he came back to his sense.
Somehow, innumerable energies of the heaven and the earth came from all directions and rushed to gather in the room at a horrendous speed. And these mighty energies were converging into Lin Xiao's body across the board.
In the meantime, Lin Xiao's body glowed with his muscles, bones, skin, and membrane becoming clear and transparent.
Li Taixuan found that the energies popped into Lin Xiao via his Baihui acupuncture spot. After a circulation within him, they eventually assembled at his crown.
Gradually, the sparkles of shock in Li Taixuan's eyes were converted into flames of fear, as he found the dense mixture of energies disappeared without a trace after the gathering at Lin Xiao's crown, like a stone sunk in an ocean.
"How could that be!" Li Taixuan let out a startled cry without control. He had never been there before.
It was worth noting that the Refining Divine Realm was only the initial stage of the cultivation process. Anyone who just stepped into this stage couldn't afford to take in too much energy from the heaven and the earth.
Warriors were the most vulnerable at the stage of the Refining Divine Realm. Too much intake of energies would only render them dumb or ruined. There hadn't been any that were the case with Lin Xiao based on LI Taixuan's experience and observation.
The spectacle was so forceful that Li Taixuan had to hold his breath in case that his any carelessness will result in Lin Xiao's downfall. Li dared not even blink his eyes.
As a matter of fact, Lin Xiao was indeed in dire straits right then.
After three days' deep cultivation based on The Refining Divine Pithy Formula, Lin Xiao eventually opened the jade-slip book in which The Doctrines of Limbo was contained.
Indeed, The Doctrines of Limbo was exactly the initial approach to the cultivation of the Refining Divine Realm. Lin Xiao learned the cultivation methods by heart. To his surprise, though he found The Doctrines of Limbo murky and elusive at the first sight, the feeling of dizziness was gone right after he kicked started the running of The Refining Divine Pithy Formula.
The Doctrines of Limbo contained merely thousands of words. Once Lin Xiao finished reading it, he found it even superior to The Bible of Gods and Devils, except that it was exclusively formulated for the Refining Divine Realm.
Li Xiao identified the difference between The Doctrines of Limbo and The Bible of Gods and Devils the minute the former started running. The Bible of Gods and Devils refined a warrior's body with the energy it brought, whereas The Doctrines of Limbo navigated a warrior toward the Ocean of Conception after it infused the energy into his body.
Lin Xiao had steered by the Ocean of Conception with a fluke when studying The Bible of Gods and Devils. And he made his entrance into the first level of the Refining Devine Realm thereafter, though the route to the Ocean of Conception was sealed by the Formation of the Nine Stone Tablets in the Wonderland. Hence he had certain experience in opening up the Ocean of Conception.
Nevertheless, it was unexpected that the prior Ocean of Conception remained blocked once Lin Xiao changed The Bible of Gods and Devils into The Doctrines of Limbo.
Initially, Lin Xiao attempted to charge into the Ocean of Conception with the cautious management of his energy. However, even if he turned loose the momentum of his energy to the extent that he dashed by virtue of the force of his energy alone at last, he failed as before.
However, as perseverant, as Lin Xiao was, he still retained his willingness to have another go.
Having lost track of the time, Lin Xiao felt a sudden buzz in his brain — the sealed Ocean of Conception finally relented and generated a rift.
