Wang Xuan ignored all that and instead activated his Golden Eyes of Luck, staring intently at the heavens above.
This time, Heaven was clearly much more generous, since cultivating the innate method explained by Wang Xuan could raise the martial arts level of this world by several minor realms!
A wisp of azure cloud of fortune descended from the heavens and merged into Wang Xuan's natal fortune, turning it azure.
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Profound Yin Refining Form Technique! (Bonus Chapter)
The cyan natal energy is only for those whose personal luck value exceeds one million.
"This is truly the favor of Heaven! With so much luck value, my efforts to spread the Dao throughout the world have not been in vain!" Looking at the azure pillar of luck above his head, Wang Xuan wanted to burst into laughter three times.
Previously, when he explained the cultivation methods for the acquired realm of martial arts, the will of this world only granted him 300,000 luck points. But now, when he explains the cultivation methods for the innate realm of martial arts, his luck points have increased by 1.8 million, bringing his total luck points to over 2.1 million. That's why the innate luck above his head has turned pure blue!
"Should we continue and reveal the cultivation method of entering the Dao through martial arts at the third stage of martial arts?" Wang Xuan was slightly tempted. According to the nature of the Heavenly Will, if Wang Xuan revealed the cultivation method of entering the Dao through martial arts, he would definitely receive more fortune, perhaps even close to ten million!
But after thinking it over carefully, he ultimately held back.
After all, Wang Xuan himself is only at the late stage of the Innate Realm. With the help of the power of the nascent Heavenly Dao, he is able to exert strength comparable to that of a Perfected Dao Realm cultivator.
If he were to reveal his cultivation method of entering the Dao through martial arts, the will of Heaven in this world might spare no expense to forcibly create several masters at the third level of martial arts. In that case, some of Wang Xuan's schemes would be difficult to achieve.
Thinking of this, he forcibly resisted the temptation and stood up from the platform.
"boom!"
As if sensing that Wang Xuan had no intention of continuing, a muffled thunderclap suddenly sounded, followed by more than 100,000 luck points converging on Wang Xuan's head from all directions.
"Damn it, I thought the will of this world was just a newbie, but I didn't expect it to be such a cunning old fox. It's playing the carrot and stick game so well!" Wang Xuan's face was a little ugly. The will of heaven had been playing the fool with Wang Xuan all along, but it was only now that it had torn off its disguise in order to obtain higher-level martial arts techniques.
The Sui and Tang world is not as simple as Wang Xuan imagined. It is mostly a top-tier low-martial world, and it has already touched the threshold of a mid-martial world!
Once the alien invaders who arrived hundreds of years ago are eliminated, the Sui and Tang world can be transformed and upgraded to a mid-level martial arts world!
"Do you think I'd be threatened by you?" Wang Xuan looked up at the sky, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Your biggest mistake was giving me so much luck! You gave me over 2.1 million luck points before, and then another 100,000, making it 2.3 million!"
"These luck points are enough for me to go toe-to-toe with fate!"
Wang Xuan closed his eyes, his mind activating the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth in his sea of consciousness, and he clicked hard on the "Permission Level" column.
That's right. Now that he has harvested so much luck value, Wang Xuan naturally wants to refine the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth again to gain access to the third level of this treasure!
As Wang Xuan began refining the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, the fortune within his body rapidly dissipated, the speed at which it was consumed causing him immense pain.
When he refined the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth for the second time, he only consumed 10,000 points of luck. But now, for the third time, the amount of luck consumed is not ten times that of the second time, but a full one hundred times!
In an instant, Wang Xuan lost a full million points of luck, but he didn't have time to complain. Instead, he directly checked the information on the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth.

"Great! I never expected that the new ability I gained from refining the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth would be to conceal the secrets of heaven!" Wang Xuan was completely relieved after just one glance, and a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, as a supreme treasure, has always possessed the function of concealing heavenly secrets. It's just that this supreme treasure is rather arrogant. Before today, it only concealed the existence of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth itself. Even if gods and demons stood in front of Wang Xuan, they would never be able to detect the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth.
As for Wang Xuan, the host, he was ignored by the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth and was not within the scope of concealing heavenly secrets.
Now that Wang Xuan has refined the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth for the third time, he can finally use this supreme treasure to conceal his true nature.
The treasure is indeed a treasure; every function of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth is extraordinary.
Wang Xuan could vaguely sense that the will of this world had always been focused on him. No matter where he went, as long as he remained in this world, he could not escape the surveillance of the will of heaven. If he did anything to harm this world, heavenly lightning would probably strike him down immediately, blasting him into dust.
But now that Wang Xuan has mastered the third level of authority of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, he has already exceeded the control of Heaven's Will. As long as Wang Xuan doesn't directly attack the World's Will, Heaven's Will simply cannot lock onto his existence!
"Boom!"
Just then, a series of thunderclaps suddenly boomed in the sky; it was the heavens' anger!
The thunder startled everyone who had come to the Golden Summit of Zhongnan Mountain to listen to the sermon, and they all looked up at the sky in astonishment.
"It was sunny just a moment ago, but now there's constant thunder. Is the weather about to change? Will it rain?" someone muttered to themselves.
Wang Xuan ignored all that. Now that he had finished explaining the "Great Dao of the Profound Heaven," he naturally wouldn't stay any longer. He activated the Soaring Void Steps again, stepping through the void and flying down the mountain.
Before long, he arrived at a deserted place and threw the Heavenly Dao Talisman above his head.
The Heavenly Dao Talisman cast wisps of light, protecting Wang Xuan's body, and Wang Xuan immediately began his seclusion.
He gained 2.3 million points of luck from spreading his teachings throughout the world. Even though the third refinement of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth consumed one million points, the remaining luck points were still enough for him to deduce a method for controlling zombies.
"I want to comprehend the Dao!" Wang Xuan roared. The Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth continuously consumed his luck points, allowing him to directly enter a state of enlightenment.
In this state, countless laws were presented to Wang Xuan in a profound and intuitive way, as if he had transformed into an omnipotent god or demon.
It took Wang Xuan about half a day to deduce a technique for controlling zombies. However, this technique was not of a high level; at most, it could only control zombies at the second-tier Innate Perfection level, and there was also a possibility of backlash.
Wang Xuan was naturally dissatisfied with this technique. Fortunately, he still had a considerable amount of luck points left, and he continued to deduce its secrets.
About three days and three nights later, Wang Xuan finally opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
At this moment, a new technique called "Mysterious Yin Refining Form Technique" suddenly appeared in his mind. This technique was not just about simply manipulating zombies, but about refining zombies into his own external avatars!
Moreover, this technique is of a high level; he can control even a zombie equivalent to a fourth-tier Transcendent Realm expert with ease!
Chapter 75 Li Yuanba vs. Zombies?
After three days and three nights of enlightenment, Wang Xuan created the Profound Yin Refining Form Technique. Unable to suppress his joy, he let out a long roar to the sky.
However, his expression quickly hardened again. Through the perception of the nascent Heavenly Dao, he discovered that two people were running rapidly toward him.
These two people are Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang.
What Wang Xuan found even more unacceptable was that, in just three days, both Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang had become completely different from what they used to be.
Their cultivation had reached the perfect state of the Innate Realm, a whole realm higher than their master Wang Xuan. They were truly surpassing their master!
"Looking up at the sky, this must be the work of Heaven." Wang Xuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry. He possessed the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, a supreme treasure, and he still had to cultivate for two years in the Water Margin world, and then for several months in the main world and the Sui and Tang worlds before he reached the late stage of the Innate Realm.
Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang reached the perfect Innate Realm in just three days, which made Wang Xuan's mentality somewhat unbalanced.
Since this world is facing the threat of invaders from another world, it is only natural that Heaven must fully arm the beings of this world.
Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang were already comparable to the early stage of the Innate Realm. With the Heavenly Will consuming the world's origin to strengthen them, it was not difficult for them to raise their cultivation to the perfect Innate Realm in a short period of time.
If Wang Xuan hadn't failed to explain the cultivation method of entering the Dao through martial arts, Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang would probably already be third-level martial arts masters by now.
"Fortunately, I had a backup plan back then and didn't covet those lucky omens, revealing all the cultivation methods for entering the Dao through martial arts." After secretly feeling envious, Wang Xuan felt somewhat fortunate.
Just as Wang Xuan was observing Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang, Li Yuanba and his group had already run several hundred meters towards them, and were only a little over 1,000 meters away from Wang Xuan.
If this place weren't Zhongnan Mountain, where vegetation is lush, even experts with the eyesight of innate masters could see each other.
"These two must have been attracted by my long howl. I don't know if they're friend or foe, so I'd better hide for now." Wang Xuan didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and ran down Zhongnan Mountain.
It wasn't that Wang Xuan was afraid of Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang, but as the master, he felt somewhat ashamed that his cultivation had been surpassed by his own disciple, so it was best not to meet them.
When Wang Xuan had run a few hundred meters, Yuan Tiangang behind him seemed to sense something and shouted at Wang Xuan, "Fellow Daoist ahead, please wait! I am Yuan Tiangang of Louguan Temple, and I have something to discuss with you concerning the fate of the world!"
"Fellow Daoist, please wait?" Wang Xuan felt a little flustered and ran even faster. Anyone who had heard the legend of Shen Gongbao would remember this phrase vividly.
He even used the Lingxu Step, quickly widening the distance between himself and Yuan Tiangang and Li Yuanba by more than a hundred meters.
Yuan Tiangang was somewhat helpless. Although his cultivation had reached the perfect state of the Innate Realm, which was a small realm higher than Wang Xuan's, he couldn't catch up with Wang Xuan in terms of speed.
After all, "Lingxu Step" is a top-tier movement technique even in the main world, so how could it be compared to the lightness techniques of a mere low-level martial arts world?
"Fellow Daoist, please hear me out!" Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to channel his innate true energy and use a method similar to telepathy to speak to Wang Xuan: "From your long roar just now, I can tell that your cultivation has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm!"
"Systematic martial arts cultivation methods have only appeared for three short days. To be able to cultivate to the late stage of the Innate Realm in just three days is something that ordinary people cannot achieve."
"Fellow Daoist, you must have sensed it too. There is a vast power in the heavens above constantly flowing into your body, right? That is the blessing of the world's origin!"
"Now that you've taken the benefits, how can you escape responsibility? If you don't stop and fight alongside us against the great enemy, divine retribution is imminent!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's expression turned somewhat strange. It seemed that Yuan Tiangang and Li Yuanba had received the blessing of the world's origin and were chosen by Heaven to face their tribulations.
After judging Wang Xuan's cultivation level from his long roar, they assumed that Wang Xuan was also destined for tribulation and wanted to drag him along to fight the invaders from another world.
Having figured all this out, Wang Xuan was no longer in a hurry to leave.
Fate is his enemy, and so are the otherworldly invaders. It seems like a good idea for him to join forces with Li Yuanba and Yuan Tiangang to fight the otherworldly invaders.
Wang Xuan stopped and continuously poured his innate true energy into the Heavenly Silkworm Armor.
The next moment, the Heavenly Silkworm Robe changed shape and color according to Wang Xuan's will. The originally snow-white robe instantly transformed into a black warrior's outfit, and even a hood covered his entire head, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The Heavenly Silkworm Robe is a top-grade magic artifact. Over the past few months, Wang Xuan has been constantly refining this robe with his innate true energy, which is why he can now easily manipulate the Heavenly Silkworm Robe to change its color and shape.
Wang Xuan looked at his outfit and nodded with satisfaction, standing still and waiting for Yuan Tiangang and Li Yuanba.
Before long, Yuan Tiangang and Li Yuanba ran up to Wang Xuan. Upon seeing Wang Xuan's attire, they were immediately filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Wearing all black in broad daylight, even covering his head, he doesn't look like a good person at all!
"Could it be that my judgment just now was wrong?" Yuan Tiangang had a slight doubt, but then put the thought out of his mind.
After all, martial arts cultivation methods have only been introduced to this world for three short days. To be able to cultivate to the late stage of the Innate Realm in just three days, there must be external assistance involved! Only the will of Heaven could accomplish this!
Moreover, Yuan Tiangang is the spokesperson for the will of Heaven. If his judgment were wrong, the will of Heaven would probably have already given a warning.
As for the person in front of them being "Xuantian Daozu"? Neither Li Yuanba nor Yuan Tiangang had considered that possibility.
Xuan Tian Dao Zu's cultivation was unfathomable. He could fly in the air with his physical body and attract purple clouds with every move he made. How could a mere late-stage Xiantian cultivator do that?
"Fellow Daoists, is what you just said true?" Wang Xuan asked in a deliberately hoarse voice.
Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment before recounting all the information about the otherworldly invaders.
