Chapter 471: Chapter 470: Officially Establishing Achievements
Having just entered the Pill Treasure Hall of the Qingxu Sect, Bai Ziyue had a full ten days to settle in and didn’t need to worry about sect tasks for the time being.
So early the next day, without any hesitation, he headed straight for the Innovation Hall.
Under the purple token, except for a few places, Bai Ziyue was almost unhindered within the sect.
Soon, a magnificent palace, seemingly nestled among the clouds, appeared before him.
Innovation Hall!
Bai Ziyue quickly found the Steward Elder of the Innovation Hall. Upon seeing Bai Ziyue, especially dressed in his Third-Grade Alchemist Fire-Resistant Robe, the elder was initially stunned, then hurriedly said, "Are you perhaps the newly admitted Alchemy Master of the Pill Treasure Hall, Kunlun Elder?"
"I didn’t expect Elder Tie Xing to have heard of my name,"
Bai Ziyue immediately smiled and said.
"Although it seems few come to see this old man here at Innovation Hall, when it comes to being well-informed, I’m not inferior to others,"
Elder Tie Xing’s old face bloomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile as he stroked his graying beard, then asked, "Kunlun Elder, are you here to use the Innovation Hall to create techniques?"
"Indeed. How are the contribution points charged?"
Bai Ziyue nodded and asked.
"It’s rather simple for an Enlightenment Realm disciple creating techniques, requiring only one thousand merit points per day, and the sect will provide a certain number of entry-level cultivation methods for free as reference. This is also a form of encouragement from the sect for its disciples.
But what Kunlun Elder is about to pioneer is a Divine Realm level cultivation method.
Divine Realm techniques are profoundly mysterious, involving much more complexity. Moreover, initiating the Innovation Hall consumes top-grade spiritual stones and the power of Dao Essence Divine Marrow, coordinated with the operation of the Grand Array. This creates an environment that seemingly borders on enlightenment, where thoughts naturally flow several times faster than usual.
Therefore, ten thousand merit points will be deducted each day.
Additionally, if Kunlun Elder requires it, the sect can provide a total of three hundred and eighty Divine Realm techniques.
Although these Divine Realm techniques are not the true heritage methods of the Qingxu Sect, they have been collected over countless years. They allow one to cultivate from the mundane all the way to the Divine Realm level. Some of these techniques’ grades and power after cultivation aren’t even weaker than our sect’s true heritage methods.
They can definitely provide immense help to Kunlun Elder’s creation of techniques.
Any technique costs only three thousand merit points to exchange for, which is many times cheaper than exchanging in the Internal Affairs Hall.
Of course, any technique exchanged from me can only be used or cultivated by Kunlun Elder himself and must not be shared with outsiders."
Elder Tie Xing said with a smile.
"A thousand merit points for a technique?"
Bai Ziyue was slightly startled.
*To be honest, this value wasn’t actually expensive, and only within the sect could such convenience be enjoyed.*
*In the outside world, a Divine Realm level cultivation technique would cost at least thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, ten times more than here.*
*However, his desire for a Divine Realm technique was for the sake of creating techniques, and one thousand merit points per technique meant ten thousand for ten, and three hundred and eighty techniques amounted to a whopping three hundred eighty thousand merit points... This price was quite unfriendly.*
"Can it be cheaper?"
*Since he began cultivating, Bai Ziyue, for once, felt the pinch of having an empty wallet.*
"Certainly.
If you possess a purple token, you may utilize it within the sect to receive a thirty percent discount on all expenses.
Each technique would require only seven hundred merit points to exchange."
Elder Tie Xing maintained his smile as he spoke.
Bai Ziyue’s face turned dark, and after a while, he cautiously asked, "Can I buy on credit?"
"That is out of the question. Sect rules are strict, and no credit is extended—no exceptions, even if the Sect Leader himself were present."
Elder Tie Xing, as if his tail had been stepped on, glared, blew his mustache, and shook his head emphatically.
...
In the Innovation Hall.
"One hundred Divine Realm methods, five days of technique creation time, cost me a total of one hundred and five thousand merit points. I hope it results in something worthwhile."
Bai Ziyue sighed slightly, his gaze then falling on some fragmented records on the floor, walls, and empty spaces within the Innovation Hall, his eyes gleaming brightly.
Buzz!
At that moment, the Grand Array within the Innovation Hall activated, and immediately a rich surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi mingled with the power of Dao Essence, which could calm one’s Heart Spirit and make thoughts unprecedentedly active, swiftly spread throughout the room.
And at this moment, Bai Ziyue’s mind was at peace, and his thoughts also accelerated.
"It was indeed far inferior to the Enlightenment Time I initiated with the Attribute Panel; the two were almost incomparable,"
Bai Ziyue silently assessed the environment in the Innovation Hall and quickly concluded.
*However, this was to be expected; the wonders of the Attribute Panel naturally couldn’t be compared to ordinary methods.*
"Let’s begin.
Officially starting technique creation."
Without much more thought, Bai Ziyue sat cross-legged in the central position of the Innovation Hall, his Divine Thought spreading out.
Instantly, the walls, floor, and ceiling... all the recordings, inspirations, and summaries of the predecessors’ technique creation throughout the thousands of years in the Qingxu Sect were memorized by him.
At the same time, as he waved his hand, a hundred Jade Scroll Eyes floated around him.
His Divine Thought reached out, and the recorded Longevity Dao Skill, Bright Moon True Technique, Nine Yang Qi Technique, Mountain Shifting Technique... all one hundred Divine Realm Level techniques transformed into streams of light, quickly flooding into his mind.
After his Divine Thought probed them, the Jade Scroll Eyes shattered as if struck by lightning, completely destroyed.
Bai Ziyue knew this was because these Jade Scroll Eyes were restricted, so they would inevitably be destroyed upon being probed to prevent further dissemination.
*He didn’t mind in the slightest, but his eyes slowly closed at this moment.*
"Enlightenment Time begins, time is unlimited..."
Bai Ziyue turned his thoughts.
In an instant, Bai Ziyue felt that his thinking, perception, Divine Thought, understanding of Heaven and Earth, enlightenment... all sensory aspects were enhanced exponentially.
*His ability to capture fleeting inspirations in his mind reached its peak at this moment.*
With just a thought, all his prior accumulated knowledge, various cultivation theories, cultivation experiences, his understanding of the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, and his perception of the Great Dao, transformed into tangible formulas in his mind and began to collide.
They sparked with ideas and insights.
However, Bai Ziyue did not immediately create new techniques.
Instead, he began to integrate and thoroughly examine each technique he had previously mastered.
"Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, Immortal Martial Dao Skill, Primordial Daoist Method..."
Then there were the various techniques he had acquired afterward.
Purple Jade Smoke Fall Technique, Water Dragon Technique, Mountain and Earth Splitting Technique, Great Sun Divine Skill, Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique, Jade Void True Skill... Plus the Swallowing Yuan Demon Technique, Yin Yang Demon Skill, white bone skeleton technique, Buddha Vajra Method, and the Demon Race Technique Nine Transformations of the Snake Dragon... Finally, those he exchanged from Elder Tie Xing in the Innovation Hall, such as Longevity Dao Skill, Bright Moon True Technique, Nine Yang Qi Technique, Mountain Shifting Technique... countless techniques.
He contemplated each technique, pondered each deeply, explored each thoroughly...
*Using the Enlightenment Time, Bai Ziyue meticulously comprehended all these over one hundred techniques.*
Time passed.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
*Immersed in this boundless enlightenment, a curious sense of impatience on Bai Ziyue faded away.*
*A calm, patient confidence emanated from deep within him.*
A serene smile appeared on his face.
In a daze, he opened his eyes.
"Nature follows the Dao."
Bai Ziyue murmured, a flash of wisdom that seemed to see through all the mysteries of the world gleamed in his eyes.
*At that moment, he gained a comprehensive, new understanding of the over one hundred techniques he had reviewed.*
*If he wished to cultivate, he was confident that he could achieve Entry Level with any of those techniques in a very short time.*
*This was a kind of mastery!*
*And it was also the confidence within his heart.*
Then, his eyes closed once more.
Instantly, all the previously suppressed conjectures, ideas, and inspirations about new techniques collided.
Combining the cultivation theories and operation methods of the hundreds of techniques he had meticulously analyzed, along with various creative inspirations and fleeting insights from the Innovation Hall... All his accumulations and foundations quickly circulated in his heart.
*Bai Ziyue’s thoughts became unprecedentedly clear, using the Primordial Daoist Method as a foundation, hundreds of techniques, countless inspirations, and summaries of predecessors as a bridge to continuously deduce...*
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...
*Unconsciously, a sense of clarity arose in Bai Ziyue’s heart.*
*An emerging idea quickly combined, evolved, and slowly imprinted itself in his mind.*
"A technique aiming at the Peak of Early-stage Divine Realm is completed."
Bai Ziyue’s heart trembled, a flash of divine light piercing his eyes.
*Even though he had previously refined a technique targeting the Peak of Early-stage Divine Realm during his last enlightenment and creation session, actually creating the technique filled him with delight.*
*Yet, at this time, he dared not relax. With just a slight fluctuation of thought, he continued to deduce along this idea.*
It seemed like a long time had passed or possibly just an instant.
Bai Ziyue’s thoughts suddenly shook again.
"The cultivation method aiming at the Peak of Mid-stage Divine Realm is completed as well."
*Bai Ziyue was secretly excited.*
*He knew his strength could finally advance once more.*
*No longer did he have to feel the gap with Golden Core Realm Powerhouses, nor restrain himself due to dissatisfaction with commonplace cultivation methods.*
"Continue..."
Bai Ziyue sank once more into Enlightenment.
