Chapter 212: 154: Birth of Spiritual Liquid, First Exploration of Ancient Tomb Ruins! (5000 words)
One should know that the cultivation techniques of Qi Refinement cultivators are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
The Changchun Technique Su Xing was currently cultivating was merely of the Profound Rank.
At most, it could be cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm.
A higher-level Earth Rank technique could be cultivated to the Integration Phase, Mahayana Realm.
Heavenly Grade Techniques are secrets that directly lead to the Immortal Path!
Even in a grand sect like the Luo Tian Sect, one needed to reach the level of an inner sect elder to qualify to cultivate Heavenly Grade Techniques.
Su Xing’s original worry was that after reaching the Return to Void in Qi Refinement, there would be no techniques for further progress.
But unexpectedly, this simulation gave him an enormous surprise!
“Wan Mu Jue… being termed as a Heavenly Grade Technique must at least mean that among the predecessors who practiced it, there was at least one Immortal!”
Su Xing murmured softly.
Yes, it was not the technique that decided the cultivator’s ceiling but the cultivator who achieved the technique’s ceiling!
A technique, no matter how profound, needed cultivators who achieved Immortality to be qualified as a Heavenly Grade technique!
“Wan Mu Jue… it needs to integrate three Profound Rank techniques into one to achieve Heavenly Grade?”
Su Xing frowned slightly, calming his emotions.
In the simulator, although he had obtained the three techniques, how to merge them into the Heavenly Grade technique Wan Mu Jue was definitely not as simple as cultivating them simultaneously.
“Perhaps I could ask that Innate expert?”
Su Xing was moved and looked at the simulation panel.
[Knowing it’s about a Heavenly Grade technique, you were excited and inquired how to elevate the three techniques to Heavenly Grade.]
[After several inquiries, the old man was also unclear about the secret, but he said that the relic might hold the secret to how Wan Mu Jue restored its past glory.]
[After hearing this, you made a decision, it seemed you had to visit this relic!]
[You then joined the three jade fragments together, but nothing happened.]
[You were a bit puzzled, and then you infused spiritual power into the jade fragments.]
[Indeed, a miraculous scene occurred, the three jade fragments slowly restored under the infusion of spiritual power, and eventually merged into a simple jade pendant.]
[The jade pendant was engraved with a vibrant image of trees and flowers, probably the emblem of the Wan Mu Sect.]
[You used your divine sense to explore the jade pendant, and sure enough, you saw a map indicating the location of the relic.]
[You secretly memorized every detail of the map, but after thousands of years, things had changed, and many landmark buildings had been washed away by time.]
[You carefully observed and studied for several days and roughly confirmed the location of the relic.]
[According to the map in the jade pendant, the relic was located in a large mountain about five thousand miles northwest of the Wan Mu Sect.]
[You spent a day to reach the mountain, but the vast mountain range extended hundreds of miles, finding a relic wouldn’t be easy.]
[Thus, for the next month, you cultivated while using your divine sense to explore every part of the mountain range, not missing any details.]
[A month passed quickly, and under your relentless search, you finally narrowed down the area where the relic was located to a particular mountain.]
[You extended your divine sense, covering the entire mountain, meticulously exploring every detail, even the rabbit holes were not missed.]
[But you still couldn’t find the so-called relic.]
[You began to doubt the map, but after repeated comparisons, you felt it should still be within the mountain.]
[Unyielding, you used your divine sense to carefully search again, yet still found nothing.]
[Helpless, you decided to explore every corner of the mountain personally, hoping to make some gains.]
[For the next month, you traveled among the mountains and rivers, searching for possible locations of the relic while enjoying the magnificent landscapes, occasionally hunting wild games.]
[Experiencing tranquility and harmony among the mountains and rivers, your mind state improved…]
[Until a month later, you discovered a giant rock over one zhang tall in a valley.]
[The giant rock looked ordinary, having endured countless years of wind and rain, it was somewhat dilapidated, perfectly blending with the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees without any abruptness.]
[But what amazed you was that while you could see the giant rock with your eyes, your divine sense couldn’t sense its existence!]
[You immediately understood that this one-zhang-high giant rock might be the entrance to the relic!]
[You carefully explored the area around the giant rock and finally discovered that some sort of formation was inscribed on it, which could not only interfere with divine sense but also transport to a mysterious space.]
[There were two ways to break such a formation: one is to study formations enough to break it directly.]
[Secondly, use immense strength to break the formation with brute force, which could also allow entry.]
[You had not studied formations, so you prepared to use strength to break the formation.]
[You stored massive power, gathered qi in your dantian, and just as you were about to smash the giant rock with a punch…]
[Suddenly, an unprecedented feeling of restlessness and anxiety overcame you, making you feel extremely uneasy, so you paused your action of smashing the giant rock.]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
“Restlessness and uneasiness? What’s going on…”
After thinking for a moment, Su Xing seemed to have some insight.
“Could it be, the Danger Instinct talent is warning me?”
