Chapter 212: Chapter 154: The Birth of Spiritual Liquid, First Exploration of Ancient Tomb Ruins! (5k)
The Changchun Technique that Su Xing is currently cultivating is only of the profound rank.
At most, it could only be cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm.
The higher-level Earth Rank techniques could be cultivated to the Integration Phase, Mahayana Realm.
And the Heavenly Grade Technique is the secret lore that leads directly to the path of immortality!
Even in a grand sect like Luo Tian Sect, one would need to reach the level of an inner sect elder to be qualified to cultivate a Heavenly Grade Technique.
What Su Xing was originally troubled about was that after Qi Refinement to Return to Void, there were no more techniques to advance further.
But he hadn't expected that this simulator would give him such an immense surprise!
"Wan Mu Decree... To be called a Heavenly Grade Technique that at least implies that among the seniors who primarily cultivated this technique, there must have been at least one immortal!"
Su Xing murmured softly.
Indeed, it's not the cultivation technique that sets the limit for a cultivator, but rather the cultivator who achieves the limit of the cultivation technique!
A technique, no matter how profound and infinite, requires a cultivator of that technique to achieve immortality, to be worthy of being called a Heavenly Rank!
"Wan Mu Decree... Does it require the fusion of three profound rank techniques to achieve the Heavenly Rank?"
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly, calming his emotions.
In the simulator, although he had obtained three techniques, how to merge them into the Heavenly Grade Technique, the Wan Mu Decree, was definitely not as simple as simultaneously cultivating them.
"Perhaps, I could consult that innate expert?"
An idea struck Su Xing, and he looked towards the simulator panel.
[Knowing it concerns a Heavenly Grade Technique, you were excited and inquired how three techniques could be elevated to the Heavenly Rank.]
[After several inquiries, the old man was also unclear about the secret, but he indicated that within those ruins might be the secret to how the Wan Mu Decree could restore its former glory.]
[After listening, you made up your mind. It seems a trip to the ruins was indispensable!]
[Thus, you pieced together the three shards of jade, yet nothing happened.]
[You were puzzled, then an idea struck, and you infused spiritual power into the shattered jade.]
[Sure enough, a miraculous scene unfolded. The three shards of jade, under the infusion of spiritual power, slowly restored themselves, eventually merging into an ancient jade pendant.]
[This jade pendant was engraved with a vibrant pattern of trees and plants, likely the emblem of Wan Mu Sect.]
[You extended your Divine Sense into the jade pendant and indeed saw a map, which roughly identified the location of those ruins.]
[You memorized every detail of the map in secret, but thousands of years had passed, and everything had changed. Many signature structures had been erased by time.]
[You studied the map carefully for several days and approximately located the position of the ruins.]
[According to the jade pendant's map, the ruins are about five thousand li northwest of Wan Mu Sect, in a large mountain.]
[It took you a day to reach that mountain, but the vast mountain stretched for hundreds of li, and finding the ruins was not easy.]
[So, for the next month, you continued to cultivate while using your Divine Sense to meticulously search every corner of the sprawling mountain range, sparing no detail.]
[Quickly a month passed, and with your relentless search, you finally narrowed down the range of where the ruins might be to one particular large mountain.]
[You projected your Divine Sense, enveloping the whole mountain, carefully inspecting each detail, not even overlooking a rabbit's den.]
[But still, you found no trace of the so-called ruins.]
[You began to doubt whether there was something wrong with the map, but after repeated comparisons, you felt it should still be within this mountain.]
[Unwilling to give up, you once again used your Divine Sense to meticulously search, but still found nothing.]
[With no other choice, you decided to tread through every corner of the mountain in person, hoping to find something.]
[For the next month, you wandered between the mountains and rivers, searching for any possible location of the ruins while enjoying the magnificent landscape and occasionally hunting game.]
[Experiencing the tranquility and harmony amidst nature, your state of mind improved...]
[Until a month later, you discovered a boulder over a zhang tall, situated in a valley.]
[The boulder appeared quite ordinary, weathered by countless years of wind and rain, somewhat worn and perfectly integrated with the surrounding flora, without any sense of abruptness.]
[Yet to your surprise, while the boulder was visible to the naked eye, your Divine Sense could not detect its existence!]
[You immediately realized, this one-zhang tall boulder was likely the entrance to the ruins!]
[In front of the boulder, you explored meticulously, eventually discovering that the boulder must contain some kind of formation, capable of not only disrupting Divine Sense but also transporting to some mysterious space.]
[There are two methods to break such a formation, the first is having enough research in formations to directly solve it.]
[The second is to use absolute power to shatter the boulder and the formation, which would also allow entry into it.]
[Having little research in formations, you prepared to use force to break it.]
[Filled with immense power, with energy guarded in your dantian, you were about to smash the boulder with a punch...]
[Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of palpitations and unease arose, making you extremely uncomfortable. As a result, you halted your action to smash the boulder.]
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly.
"Palpitations and unease? What's going on..."
After contemplating for a moment, Su Xing seemed to have an epiphany.
"Could it be that my talent for sensing danger and avoiding it is giving me a warning?"
