A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 493: Chapter 403: Massive Eruption!

"The decline caused by over half of the Nascent Soul cultivators in higher levels dying should be overcome soon with the current circumstances!"

In the recent battle, the Star Sea Continent suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the highest realm cultivators, from Divinity Transformation to Void Refining cultivators, perishing.

Although their bodies transformed into spiritual essence, which further advanced the spirit veins under Qi Ping’s handling, if the Star Sea Continent doesn’t give birth to enough powerful cultivators in a short period, the spirit veins will soon decline.

With the current distribution of spirit veins in the Nine Star Sea Realms, the required spiritual support is also enormous.

The flourishing scene today hides obvious crises, but currently, only Qi Ping is aware of this. Meng Tianqi and others know something, but not in such detail. The problems are very complex, and it’s because Qi Ping, as an Earth Immortal Druid, has achieved some degree of integration with heaven and earth that he can deeply understand the relationships within.

Although Qi Ping’s current degree of integration is not high, given the complexity of heaven and earth itself, achieving the current state with his present realm is already considered miraculous.

...

In the coming period, driven by the allure of the future, the prospect of better living conditions, and external pressures such as the Demon Race, all the cultivators joining the Nine Star Sea Realms threw themselves into a frenzy of development.

A large number of spirit fields were quickly cultivated, turning into exceedingly fertile spirit fields.

The most eye-catching was that many cultivators contributed highly sophisticated methods for spirit field cultivation, which could transform many previously barren lands into fertile spirit fields.

These methods collectively increased the total amount of spirit fields in the Nine Star Sea Realms by at least thirty percent beyond the original plan!

And this number continues to grow!

Even Qi Ping was astonished by the Zhoutian Star Spirit Field Cultivation Method, provided by a Nascent Soul spirit farmer, a loose cultivator named Shen Nong Taoist adept in arrays.

Despite a remarkable talent for arrays, he uniquely loved farming. Due to a lack of high-level spirit fields, he couldn’t experiment with or cultivate many of his precious spirit plants and hybridization methods for spiritual medicine.

In the absence of the strength to compete for high-level spirit fields, this person started collecting various methods to enhance spirit fields.

After spending most of his life cultivating the Star Technique and comprehending the Path of the Stars, he finally realized a Dharma Gate and created the "Zhoutian Starland Plowing Method"!

According to this plowing method, by using a small amount of Spirit Stones and Spiritual Qi, combined with a special formula for spirit soil cultivation, one can gradually cultivate spirit fields suitable for Star System spirit plants.

However, this spirit field cultivation method is not easy, requiring a long time.

But this was not a problem for Qi Ping at all. With his current financial resources and array abilities, the difficulty was negligible.

Moreover, upon examining this person’s method, Qi Ping was tremendously shocked because the amount of Spiritual Qi required was incredibly low, yet the quality of the cultivated star system spiritual medicine was remarkably good.

Through this method, Shen Nong Taoist quietly rose from an ordinary Qi Refining loose cultivator to become the renowned Shen Nong Taoist.

However, one drawback is that this spirit field must be planted with spiritual medicine he perfected through numerous trials and hybridizations. Regular spiritual medicine struggles to survive in such spirit fields, and refining these spiritual medicines ideally requires dedicated cultivation techniques...

To a certain extent, Shen Nong Taoist has almost established his own system, which is why Qi Ping places such importance on it.

Currently, most cultivation techniques in the Star Sea Continent focus on Spiritual Power. Even star-related cultivation techniques require powerful Spiritual Power as a carrier, with Spiritual Power being central to integrating and harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth.

However, Shen Nong Taoist’s technique is almost pure Power of the Stars, with Spiritual Power merely playing a minor lubricating role.

This undoubtedly opens up a new continent for the Star Sea Continent, which currently faces a shortage of Spiritual Qi.

Because in the Star Sea Continent today, what is least lacking are the Power of the Stars, Power of the Sun, and Moonlight Power shining in all heavens and myriad realms.

In the past, limited use of these powers was mainly due to the high difficulty of comprehension and utilization. In contrast, no one studied how to perfectly use the Power of the Stars in conditions of scarce Spiritual Qi when one could practice a Spiritual Power system.

But now, as the Star Sea Continent faces the crisis of Spiritual Qi decline, someone has blazed a trail, though it has remained unnoticed until now.

Qi Ping also believes that this system can indeed be attempted and can expand from the Power of the Stars to the Power of the Sun and Moonlight Power.

If these forces are significantly introduced to the Star Sea Continent, it might greatly benefit the development of heaven and earth.

So Qi Ping had Lin Yue personally meet this Shen Nong Taoist and rewarded him generously.

Qi Ping also took some time specifically to deduce several similar Dharma Gates and arrays concerning the three forces, establishing a new institution with Shen Nong Taoist to explore this endeavor.

However, this was merely a minor attempt. The grand path of Spiritual Power cultivation remains the orthodoxy. In the current condition where Spiritual Power is still abundant, pursuing pure Power of the Stars cultivation is futile.

Yet this path is also worth exploring. If successful, it could potentially make the cultivation system of the Star Sea Continent more radiant in the future.
