#686 - Reverse the method to find clues
Li Chengfeng's ability to deduce cultivation methods and secret techniques was almost innate.
As his strength grew, deducing attack and defense became increasingly effortless for him, as if it were merely a matter of lifting a hand.
Zhuque Zhongli Meiying knew about Li Chengfeng's talent and naturally wouldn't refuse his request.
Therefore, she unreservedly passed on everything she knew about the Four Saints' cultivation methods to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng digested this information piece by piece, slowly deducing the mysteries within.
To find traces of Xuanwu, he had to first deduce the Xuanwu Saint Method. To do this, he needed to devote all his energy and focus.
Late at night, Li Chengfeng quietly disappeared with Zhuque Zhongli Meiying.
They didn't go to the Heavenly Demon Sect, but instead came to a mysterious place: the World of Wandering Souls. Time flowed differently here; one year outside was equivalent to a hundred years here.
Li Chengfeng had set up formations here that allowed him to enter and exit at will.
This place was not only a refuge but also a sacred ground for cultivation.
At this time, most of the wandering souls here had recovered.
However, when Li Chengfeng entered, the powerful aura he released frightened these wandering souls, and they immediately scattered like startled birds.
Who would dare provoke this ominous star? His reputation had long spread throughout the land, known to all.
As soon as Li Chengfeng entered this mysterious place, he immediately began deducing the cultivation methods.
Zhuque Zhongli Meiying followed him, sensing the unique speed of time flow here, and she felt incredible.
Here, her life seemed to be flowing away at an imperceptible rate.
Li Chengfeng noticed her change and said softly, "Enter my space, and your life will flow more slowly."
With a wave of his hand, he sent Zhuque Zhongli Meiying into the Hell Space.
This was a special space he had prepared for Zhuque Zhongli Meiying, allowing her to reflect on her cultivation methods from her previous life and see if she could remember anything.
Li Chengfeng himself then began to focus all his attention on deducing the three cultivation methods, as well as the Four Saints' cultivation methods he had obtained.
Although these cultivation methods were somewhat incomplete, under Li Chengfeng's powerful strength, many fragmented methods were restored to their original forms.
He seemed to be able to perceive the essence of the cultivation methods, disassembling them one by one and then reassembling them.
In this mysterious place where time flowed slowly, Li Chengfeng single-mindedly deduced the cultivation methods.
With a thought, the phantom of the Bodhi Tree appeared behind him, helping him to calm his breath and stabilize his mind. Just like that, time flew by, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these hundred years, Li Chengfeng finally deduced the Xuanwu Saint Method.
With a thought, his body transformed into an old turtle, its dragon head huge, soaring through the sky.
Both the Dragon Turtle and Xuanwu were ancient divine beasts. At this moment, he circulated the Xuanwu Body Technique, and power surged wave upon wave, combined with the Dragon Turtle's true form, allowing his power to reach an unprecedented level.
The cultivation method was even more in harmony with his body, as if he had become one with it.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng finally completely merged the four cultivation methods into one, transforming them into the Four Saints' cultivation method.
However, he quickly disassembled this combined method, deducing the complete version of the Xuanwu Saint Method.
The Four Saints' cultivation method, which combined the four methods, was not suitable for any of them to cultivate. The White Tiger, Zhuque, Qinglong, and even Xuanwu himself, could not cultivate this method.
Xuanwu's defense was astonishing, and he was also skilled in water-based divine abilities, but even so, he could not cultivate the Four Saints' cultivation method.
Then why did Xuanwu want to deduce this method in the first place? Li Chengfeng's eyes were burning, and his heart was filled with doubts.
He hoped to find out Xuanwu's true intentions at the time. There must have been a deep meaning behind his deduction of the Four Saints' cultivation method.
Suddenly, he had a thought and used the Great Prophecy Technique.
As if a fragment of the future flashed before him, it was a blurry figure, extremely vague, but Li Chengfeng could still roughly make out a little of its outline.
He was somewhat moved in his heart. Although the Great Prophecy Technique could not predict the future with 100% accuracy, it could capture some fragments or clues of the future.
The blurry figure seemed to be saying: "I deduced the Four Saints' cultivation method not for my own cultivation.
Because Qing Ning Old Ancestor is unparalleled in wisdom, she may cultivate her own cultivation method and then reincarnate.
If that day comes, whoever cultivates the Four Saints' cultivation method must be Qing Ning Old Ancestor.
I can take precautions in advance to avoid falling into her trap.
Qing Ning Old Ancestor and I are merely in a cooperative relationship, wary of each other.
She cannot do without my understanding of some of the cultivation methods of the Spirit Realm, and I cannot do without some of her formations for protection."
As the voice said this, the fragment drifted away, entered the future, and shattered in the void.
This was the wonder of the Great Prophecy Technique, allowing people to glimpse some fragments of the future, but unable to fully grasp it.
Li Chengfeng withdrew the Great Prophecy Technique, and his understanding of Xuanwu's intentions deepened.
Xuanwu deduced the Four Saints' cultivation method to guard against Qing Ning Old Ancestor, and also to maintain their cooperative relationship.
This cultivation method was perhaps a balance and constraint between them.
Li Chengfeng let out a long breath, his heart full of emotion. This time was not in vain after all, and he finally completely deduced Xuanwu's cultivation method.
If it weren't for being in this mysterious space, it would have taken hundreds of years to complete such a feat.
This space was not a place where just anyone could stay, because it consumed the life of those who entered.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator, if they stayed here for hundreds of years, would probably turn into withered bones; even a Nascent Soul powerhouse would not be able to stay for long.
Moreover, once inside, ordinary people could not get out, and only Li Chengfeng could come and go freely.
However, for Li Chengfeng, these consumptions were nothing.
His lifespan was long; in every war, his lifespan would reach millions of years, and consuming a few hundred years was insignificant to him.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave but continued to sit here and comprehend.
He wanted to integrate this newly deduced cultivation method into his own Nirvana Saint Method.
As he continued to deduce, the cultivation method continued to improve.
Finally, he perfectly integrated his own cultivation method with the Four Saints' cultivation method deduced by Xuanwu, creating a brand new Four Saints' cultivation method that belonged to him.
This cultivation method was fundamentally different from the Four Saints' cultivation method deduced by Xuanwu.
The Four Saints' cultivation method deduced by Li Chengfeng was based on his own Nirvana Saint Method, making it more in line with his own cultivation system and combat style.
Now, the four great cultivation methods had transformed into four runes, constantly rotating around Li Chengfeng.
He integrated this cultivation method into his own runes, and instantly, Li Chengfeng himself transformed into a sky full of runes, merging with these runes to form an indescribable and wondrous scene.
In this fusion process, a special artistic conception constantly flashed in Li Chengfeng's mind. He seemed to see the essence of all things and feel the mysteries of the universe.
Only at this moment did he truly understand that his All Methods Return to One was definitely one of the most powerful cultivation methods.
However, cultivating this method was extremely difficult. Without a super powerful soul as support, it would be impossible to deduce it.
Therefore, he cherished even more the opportunity to cultivate this method.
He closed his eyes, wholeheartedly feeling the wonderful changes brought about by this fusion.
His soul seemed to be washed by these runes, becoming more pure and powerful.
