Chapter 728: Chapter 384: The Way of Divine Skills, Witch's Heavenly Grotto_2
```
As the Teleportation Formation evolved, the current formations could cover distances of up to 300,000 kilometers in a single transfer, greatly facilitating the travel of martial artists and support for crisis-stricken Heavenly Grottoes.
This also led to a continuous decline in the threat posed by the Netherworld Cave.
Even so, strong individuals would suddenly depart, suppress a Heavenly Grotto, and once the suppression of a Heavenly Grotto was completed, before the strength-drained enemies of the Netherworld inside could react, the strong individuals had already returned to their station in the Heavenly Grotto.
This tactic was tried and true, leading to consecutive defeats for the Netherworld.
"Taicang Body Cultivation is quite interesting,"
Li Xuan chuckled inwardly. The appearance of a body cultivation lineage within the Taicang Martial Arts was beyond his expectations.
Of course, since the body cultivation originated with Meng Chong, and Meng Chong was the practitioner of the Physical Body Martial Arts he wrote, his disciple.
Naturally, the emergence of the Taicang Body Cultivators also provided him with some feedback.
"Master, this is the new spiritual cake I've made!"
Cai Ling'er came over with a plate of spiritual cakes.
Since activating the royal bloodline of the Sea Spirit Tribe, Cai Ling'er's strength had been rapidly improving, and in just five short years, she had already reached the mid-stage of Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable.
Especially after activating the royal bloodline, Cai Ling'er looked even more beautiful and pure, with a subtle air of majesty.
"Hmm!"
Li Xuan nodded.
In five years, Jiang Buping also made considerable progress, although he still hadn't dealt with the Imperishable Qi within his Divine Soul, nor had he stepped into the door of Extreme Soul Martial Arts.
However, he no longer needed external stimulation and was able to concentrate his mental awareness, the influence of the Imperishable Qi was further diminishing.
Given this trend, the day would come when he would resolve the Imperishable Qi and enter the door of Extreme Soul Martial Arts.
"Xu Yan has already reached perfection in his Divine Skills. Over these five years, he has traversed the Qinghua Realm. Perhaps it's time for him to leave the Qinghua Realm?"
Li Xuan mused to himself.
The Domain Realm was indeed too mystical. Over these five years, Xu Yan had still been unable to fully grasp and comprehend it.
"Walking and travelling, viewing the splendors of the Domain and grasping the true essence of Martial Arts, I believe Xu Yan will eventually come to understand,"
Li Xuan was not in a hurry. After all, it had only been five years.
The further one advanced in their realm, the more mystical it became, and naturally, the harder it was to comprehend, especially the Domain Realm, which represented a significant leap.
"I have already come to understand more than half of the Taicang Dao Principles, and I can almost establish the techniques of Martial Arts above the Domain Realm.
"Principles, the root of the Domain, where the operation of heaven and earth resides."
Li Xuan sighed inwardly.
The Heaven and Earth Laws are derived from the Domain, while the Domain Dao Principles represent the root of the Domain, the fundamentals of its operation. Without the Dao Principles, or should they collapse, the very Domain would cease to exist.
"Beyond the Domain Dao Rules, how should I craft it? Transcendence of the Domain cannot be the end – for the Martial Arts Endless Realm awaits,"
Li Xuan had already started pondering the direction of Martial Arts beyond the transcendence of the Domain, as well as the Martial Arts Techniques.
"There's no need to rush. Once I truly transcend the Domain, I will naturally know how to proceed."
Li Xuan mumbled to himself.
"Wu Tianan has cultivated the Heavenly Wave Palm; you've earned the Divine Skill Technique from the Divine Skills you created." Your journey continues at m v|l-e'-NovelBin.net
Suddenly, the Daoist Golden Book opened, and an unexpected feedback arrived.
Li Xuan was taken aback, Wu Tianan had actually succeeded in cultivating a Divine Skill, and more to his delight was the feedback from the Daoist Golden Book.
The Divine Skill Technique represents understanding of the intrinsic meaning of Divine Skills, aiming directly at their foundation, mastery of the Divine Skill Technique implies comprehension of the fundamentals of Divine Skills, which allows for the creation of new Divine Skills.
"My Divine Skill Martial Code, similar to Divine Skills like White Bone Rebirth and Instantaneous Rebirth, can now be created."
Li Xuan was overjoyed.
With mastery over the Divine Skill Technique, his Divine Skill Martial Code was no longer a blind concoction.
The Divine Skills he would create would all be practicable, and he knew exactly how to create even the most profound ones.
For instance, he now truly understood how to create Divine Skills like White Bone Rebirth, which he had always yearned for.

"Heavenly Wave Palm, although it's just a minor Divine Skill, is still quite impressive and very powerful,"
The Heavenly Wave Palm was one of the minor Divine Skills he had created, and one that Xu Yan had already mastered. A palm strike would ripple out like waves, continuous and unending, its power quite remarkable.
"The Divine Skill Technique can now be cultivated within Taicang Martial Arts. Although it's limited to minor Divine Skills for the time being, and some of the real Great Divine Powers are still beyond reach, it can already enhance the strength of Taicang Martial Arts."
"I thought that Xie Tianheng would be the first to cultivate a Divine Skill, but it turned out to be Wu Tianan."
"This guy is truly worthy of being the once-favored son of the Inner Domain. His talent and destiny are both extraordinary. I wonder who his martial arts mentor is and how strong they are," Li Xuan mused inwardly. After learning of Wu Tianan's past, he marveled at the man's great fortune.
At the same time, Li Xuan became curious about Wu Tianan's martial arts mentor for the first time.
"I should finish writing the Divine Skill Martial Code soon and set it at three thousand Divine Skills."
Li Xuan had an idea in mind.
All kinds of Divine Skills, both Great and minor, would amount to a total of three thousand.
In the following days, Li Xuan memorized the Dao Principles of the Book of Taicang while starting to compose Divine Skills.
...
"Having perfected my Divine Skills, it's time to accumulate a foundation. Although I've obtained many treasures, some special items are lacking. There's a good chance that Qinghua State doesn't have such special treasures, time to venture into other Realms."
Atop a mountain peak, Xu Yan opened his eyes, his expression contemplative.
He had new insights on how to continue building his foundation in the Divine Skill Realm. Finding a treasure with unique properties would ensure a stronger and more unique transformation when breaking through to the Physiognomy Realm.
With that in mind, Xu Yan vanished from where he stood, seeking out the Tianwu Sect Master to inquire about where he might find such special treasures.
The Tianwu Sect Master was very warm in welcoming Xu Yan's visit, displaying none of the airs of one of the three most powerful experts in Qinghua State. He treated Xu Yan as an equal, as this was the disciple of a highly esteemed master.
"The treasures you seek, Brother Xu, are heavy and condensing, solid yet supple... Such items are likely not found in Qinghua State; however, they may exist in the Nine Mountain Realm."
"The Nine Mountain Realm consists of nine enormous mountains, and their vastness is beyond imagination. There, a heavy metal is produced; perhaps in the Nine Mountain Realm, you'll find the heavy and condensing treasures you seek."
After hearing the purpose of Xu Yan's visit, the Tianwu Sect Master pondered for a moment before speaking.
Being an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, he was well-traveled and knowledgeable, and though he might not know all the Thirty-six Realms of the Divine Realm, he was quite familiar with the adjacent Nine Mountain Realm.
"The Nine Mountain Realm?"
Xu Yan nodded thoughtfully, recalling Feng Yan, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Nine Mountain Realm.
"The Nine Mountain Realm is thick with forests and abundant in Spirit Beasts, and it has a greater variety of Divine Medicine than Qinghua State. Apart from the Netherworld Cave, it has other caves as well, one of which contains a treasure known as the Ten Thousand Catty Duckweed. A tiny duckweed yet it weighs ten thousand catties, and what's curious is that it can float on water.
"Young friend, you might want to look for it, as it may just be what you need."
The Tianwu Sect Master thoughtfully suggested a unique treasure exclusive to the Nine Mountain Realm.
Xu Yan inquired with curiosity, "What is that cave in the Nine Mountain Realm called?"
Having been in the Divine Realm for years, he knew quite a bit about caves. The Divine Realm faced threats not only from the Netherworld, and thus the caves were categorized.
"It seems to be the Witch Demon Cave, and since this particular cave is small, the threat is considered minor, so it hasn't garnered much attention," the Tianwu Sect Master said after some thought.
"Thank you, Tianwu Clan Master. I take my leave!"
After receiving the information he needed, Xu Yan saluted and said farewell, ready to head to the Nine Mountain Realm and explore the Witch Demon Cave for himself.
"Farewell, young friend!"
Departing from the Tianwu Sect, Xu Yan headed straight for the Realm Gate, the fastest way to reach the Nine Mountain Realm.
The Realm Gate was located at the boundary of three great powers—Da Yue, Wan Lei, and Tianwu—who had built a large city at this junction called Qinghua City.
The Realm Gate is a special gateway allowing swift travel among the Thirty-six Realms of the Divine Realm, formed by the Heaven and Earth Laws, somewhat akin to the Spiritual Realm Gate.
Passing through the Realm Gate, one could directly arrive at another Realm.
The Nine Mountain Realm got its name from the nine colossal peaks within its borders.
The vastness of the Nine Mountains was beyond imagination, and each mountain housed a cave, indicating the presence of a powerful force overseeing each peak.
