Chapter 014: Switching Cultivation Methods

This realm-crossing gate was established by Wang Bo after he entered Chang'an and made friends with exorcists. It had already connected to the Central Plains, but Wang Bo had never used it.

On one hand, because Afra was in the Central Plains, everything was developing in an orderly manner.

On the other hand, because Wang Bo had been gaining good harvests every day while befriending exorcists, he had been busy and had no time to return.

The reason he set up the realm-crossing gate at home was merely to fix the time between the two worlds.

To avoid spending a year or two in this world, only to find that decades had passed in the Central Plains when he returned.

That would be terrible.

After settling down in Luoyang, Wang Bo also entered the Time Villa, brought out Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, and taught them the cultivation method he had obtained from Zhu Ganglie.

This cultivation method was not exclusive to boar demons, nor was it exclusive to demons.

In fact, this cultivation method had long transcended that limitation.

Both humans and demons could cultivate it.

The cultivation methods that Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing had were far inferior to this one.

After obtaining this cultivation method, the two women did not integrate it into their own demonic arts but instead unhesitatingly switched to cultivating this Daoist method.

However, as a result, both women suffered a certain loss in their cultivation base.

After all, switching cultivation methods is a major taboo for anyone.

For example, in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, to cultivate the supreme skill Northern Dark Divine Art, one must dissolve all other internal energy; otherwise, the two techniques would inevitably conflict, causing the cultivator to fall into demonic possession.

Although Zhu Ganglie's cultivation method was not so domineering, switching was still not easy.

A loss in cultivation base was inevitable.

But the two women did not mind; instead, they were overjoyed. Xiao Bai looked at Wang Bo's silent face, smiled slightly, and caressed his cheek, saying, "Don't blame yourself too much. Although Xiao Qing and I have lost some cultivation, we now have a bright future. Husband, you should be happy."

Xiao Qing nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right. It's just some cultivation; what does it matter?"

Wang Bo thought about it and relaxed his brow, no longer being sentimental.

"By the way," Xiao Qing asked curiously, "What world did you come to this time, husband?"

Wang Bo replied, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons."

Xiao Qing was startled, then immediately recalled, "Is that the very dark Journey to the West world?"

Wang Bo nodded. Compared to the orthodox Journey to the West world, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons indeed had a bit more darkness, but in reality, the orthodox Journey to the West world was not much better; it just wasn't as obvious.

For instance, in the orthodox Journey to the West world, Sha Wujing seemed honest, but before embarking on the pilgrimage, he stirred up trouble in the Flowing Sands River, harmed the locals, and specialized in eating passersby.

He even ate the first nine reincarnations of Tang Sanzang.

Clearly, this guy killed and ate people without mercy; he was no good bird.

But in the orthodox Journey to the West world, these things were glossed over and not detailed.

Thus, it gave people the illusion that this world's darkness far exceeded that of the orthodox Journey to the West world, but in reality, the darkness of both worlds was about the same.

It's just that this world was more straightforward.

Among demons, not all were single-mindedly seeking the Dao; most were not good things.

Even Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, if they stayed long in this world, might eventually become the kind of man-eating demons. 'Near vermilion, one gets stained red; near ink, one gets stained black' is not just an empty saying.

Wang Bo had not forgotten that when he first saw Xiao Bai, she was hostile to humans and killed people with clean efficiency—something that couldn't be honed in just one or two times.

Fortunately, they were now on Wang Bo's side, and with his restraint, they naturally wouldn't become those man-eating demons.

After confirming the world they were in, Xiao Qing couldn't help but have a bunch of questions and blurted out, "Have you seen Zhu Ganglie? How powerful is that Zhu Ganglie? Is he more powerful than us?"

Wang Bo said, "The cultivation method you just obtained is what I took from Zhu Ganglie. What do you think—is he more powerful than you?"

Xiao Qing exclaimed in surprise, "So this is Zhu Ganglie's cultivation method! No wonder it's so profound. Does that mean he doesn't cultivate the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations in this world?"

"I wish, but unfortunately not."

"That is a pity, but from this, Zhu Ganglie is very powerful," Xiao Qing sighed softly. The more she understood this cultivation method, the more she realized its terror.

And Zhu Ganglie, who had cultivated this method, was naturally even more formidable.

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "As expected of the Journey to the West world; it's truly formidable."

In her world, the National Preceptor was definitely a top-tier expert, but even his Supreme Yin True Art was not as powerful as this cultivation method.

Wang Bo smiled and interrupted the women's sighs, "Alright, enough about Zhu Ganglie. You've obtained this cultivation method too, and I believe you'll catch up to him sooner or later."

The two women exchanged glances and smiled.

Over the next month, Wang Bo worked hard to digest this cultivation method, while Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing diligently practiced without pause, successfully switching their techniques and reaching the introductory stage of this method.

Originally snakes, the two women's demonic energy was cold and yin, but after cultivating this method, their cold energy began to transform, becoming both firm and soft, balancing yin and yang.

Every strand of energy carried a heavy force.

Wang Bo clearly saw that after Xiao Qing reached the introductory stage, she merely blew out a strand of energy and shattered a piece of refined steel into powder.

Such power was beyond imagination.

But even so, this power was still inferior to the Solar True Qi within Wang Bo, mainly because his Solar True Qi had undergone several transformations, becoming extremely dense and condensed, with unimaginable might.

Moreover, this time Wang Bo extracted the essence of Zhu Ganglie's cultivation method and integrated it into the Solar Divine Art, elevating his Solar Divine Art to a higher level.

The true qi in his body had been compressed to the extreme, even turning into liquid and merging into his bones and blood.

This made Wang Bo's steel body even stronger.

Wang Bo even felt that with just a breath, he could freeze the five lakes and four seas, create storms, and destroy the entire city of Luoyang.

And Wang Bo was certain that this was not an illusion.

He truly possessed the power to change the weather and destroy a city with a single breath.

If he enhanced it with Solar True Qi, magical power, and the like, his strength would undergo another leap.

At this moment, Wang Bo felt he had become inflated again.
