Chapter 1639: Arrived as Promised

“This is just a remnant of a technique I once obtained. it can temporarily boost my cultivation, but the manual is severely incomplete, and it’s very harmful to the body.

Moreover, the time it can be maintained is very short. Unless it’s a last resort, it’s better not to use it!”

Li Yan spoke to explain.

“Five Elements Returning to Primordial” did have the ability to merge five-element magical power and boost cultivation for a short time, especially boosting sub-realms. But he naturally couldn’t reveal the origin of this technique.

And he didn’t tell Mu Guyue that he had actually reached the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation, to avoid making people feel his cultivation speed was a bit too fast.

It wasn’t a boost across a major realm. As long as Li Yan circulated “Five Elements Returning to Primordial,” and the five elements merged into one, boosting from mid-stage to late-stage Spirit Transformation was naturally no problem.

“A secret art that burns life essence!”

A thought flashed through Mu Guyue’s mind, and she immediately understood.

In fact, the demonic arts she practiced also had similar techniques. For instance, the “Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art” could also quickly and significantly boost strength.

It was just that the demonic art was even more tyrannical and required drawing upon the demonic source power in the demonic core. The commotion would be huge, and the backlash even stronger than burning life essence.

Once that technique was used, there would be no turning back—one’s demonic cultivation would likely be ruined unless an miracle occurred. It wouldn’t be like Li Yan just now, appearing to be able to use it with relative ease.

“Then after using this art, how long will the period of weakness last?”

With secret arts like this, once used, even if the realm doesn’t drop, it usually leaves the cultivator very weak afterward.

If such a situation appeared, then Li Yan would still show a flaw. You can’t just suddenly become weak for no reason.

Formulating a perfect plan wasn’t just a matter of speaking and thinking it through; one would face many loopholes that had to be resolved first.

“I’m just fluctuating my magical power, not fighting anyone. If it’s only used to deceive, that weakness won’t manifest.

Moreover, after swallowing the Ghost-Transformation Pill, the ghost-like aura in my body serves as cover, providing an extra layer of protection. You can rest assured on this.

As for you, just follow the plan. In the environment you will be in then, Zhao Haiyang won’t dare to probe you carefully.”
