Chapter 489: Chapter 488: 1 Cultivation Technique, 3 Great Divine Techniques
Passing by the Nine Great Dao Origin Stone Steles, Bai Ziyue continued deeper into the great hall, using the jade token to pass through a layer of array mist, and suddenly everything before him became clear.
Almost immediately, his gaze fell upon a life-sized divine statue enshrined on a stone platform.
"Inheritance Divine Statue!"
Bai Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat.
The statue seemed neither wooden nor metallic, wholly dark red, resembling a middle-aged Daoist. He wore a feathered crown, his eyes subtly gleaming with starlike brilliance, and a dharma robe that seemed to harbor endless mysteries.
He held one hand in a mysterious gesture, and the other as a sword finger, solitary not sharp, yet exuding a sense of transforming all things into a single point, encapsulating the vastness of Dao in one moment.
With just one look, Bai Ziyue could clearly sense the extraordinary nature within the statue.
However, when he tried to carefully comprehend it, it felt like trying to look at flowers in the fog, everything blurred.
The entire Inheritance Divine Statue seemed to contain endless mystery, yet appeared ordinary, imparting a natural Daoistic feel, as if the universe existed eternally.
"This statue..."
Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but cover it with his Divine Thought Power, wanting to sense its changes more clearly.
But when he used his Divine Thought Power, all he sensed was emptiness before him.
"It can’t be sensed by my Divine Thought Power at all, only visible to the naked eye..."
Bai Ziyue was shocked; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Generally, avoiding his Divine Thought exploration required array concealment, yet now this statue showed no sign of array fluctuations and could still achieve this...
"This is Dao charm naturally formed, only under such conditions can it naturally block my Divine Thought exploration."
Bai Ziyue could only give up on the Divine Thought investigation, his eyes carefully ’watching’ the entire Inheritance Divine Statue, using his perception to touch the natural Dao charm within the statue.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Bai Ziyue silently perceived, first exploring the gesture of the sword finger.
Beneath the sword finger, mysterious insights about the utilization of the Flying Sword slowly emerged in his mind. In a daze, he seemed like a peerless Sword Immortal; one hand forming a gesture, the other pointing out a sword finger, a beam of sword light shot to the sky, the universe and all things seemingly enveloped in this sword...
One hour, two hours, three hours...
He suddenly snapped out of it, looking at the sword finger again, it appeared ordinary, as if the Dao charm had vanished.
"Was it because the opportunity wasn’t ripe, and in the end, I couldn’t fully comprehend it?"
Bai Ziyue frowned involuntarily.
Even though the insights he gained over several hours were already substantial, and now revisiting his previously mastered Sword Dao Spells, like the 23-Layered Tower Sword Qi, he was clearly aware of some inadequacies.
If he could refine, optimize, and possibly combine them, he could potentially further enhance the 23-Layered Tower Sword Qi, evolving it into a genuine Sword Dao Divine Technique.
Then, Bai Ziyue’s gaze inevitably fell upon the dharma robe of the Inheritance Divine Statue.
That robe also contained endless mysteries, and almost instantly, Bai Ziyue immersed himself within it.
Next came the eyes of the statue, the crown... almost every aspect seemed to embody the Heaven and Earth Dao, making him feel greatly benefited. His understanding of the universe seemed to deepen.
Yet, after three whole days, he had not obtained a complete ’method’ from the Inheritance Divine Statue. Many insights remained fragmented.
Maybe, if combined, they could form one or two powerful Magic arts, and serve as a complement to his cultivation technique theories. However, he was acutely aware that he had barely scratched the surface of the inheritance.
*"This is only natural.
Even countless Golden Core Realm experts from the Qingxu Sect have not truly obtained a complete inheritance from it. I’m only at the early-stage Divine Realm, and my comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao is far inferior to such existences. How could I possibly attain the ’method’ and ’Dao’ carried within this inheritance?"*
*Bai Ziyue was well aware of his own limitations. Although his foundation was profound, in terms of accumulation and understanding of the Heaven and Earth Dao, he compared unfavorably to Golden Core Realm True Monarchs.*
*Even with countless Golden Core True Monarchs within the Qingxu Sect being unable to derive a complete inheritance from this statue, his lack of revelations was actually quite normal.*
"However, coming to Treasure Mountain without reaping benefits is truly regrettable.
It seems that in the end, I need to harness the power of the Attribute Panel, relying on its ’Enlightenment Time’ ability.
By entering a state of enlightenment, I can explore and observe the Inheritance Divine Statue once more, perhaps uncovering its true essence."
Bai Ziyue whispered, and without further hesitation, his gaze immediately fell upon the Attribute Panel.
"Activate Enlightenment Time!"
Bai Ziyue’s thoughts flickered.
In an instant, his mind paused slightly, then became incredibly fast. His entire body and mind, from the inside out, were in a special state of perception.
At this moment, his gaze fell once again on the inheritance divine statue.
Almost instantly, countless pieces of information came rushing in. The previously seemingly vanished Dao comprehension aura suddenly appeared, incredibly clear. Various fleeting Dao principles evolved, multiplying countless times in his vision, allowing him to fully glimpse any subtle and mysterious changes within.
"Under enlightenment, the countless secrets and true inheritance hidden within the inheritance divine statue indeed had nowhere to hide and could be fully perceived by me."
*The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately focused more on accepting the inheritance.*
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Bai Ziyue’s thoughts were faster than ever, but the inheritance within the divine statue was vast. Moreover, it was reinstated through the power of enlightenment rather than being received directly from the Dao Origin Stone, so it was relatively slower.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Finally, Bai Ziyue’s body swayed, and he thoroughly received the entire inheritance within the divine statue.
"Three inheritances.
Who would have thought that the inheritance divine statue contained three completely matching and blending inheritances?
One is the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique, one is the Five Emperors Divine Robe, and one is the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword.
The Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique is a cultivation technique directly pointing to the mid-stage Primordial Spirit Realm. Practicing this technique can further allow the cultivator to form an upper three grades pill, condensing a second-grade Golden Core.
As for the Five Emperors Divine Robe, it is a top-tier defensive great divine technique. It evolves a set of immortal technique battle robes using the endless power of the Five Elements, which can almost immunize against most Five Elements Attacks. In terms of defense, it is much stronger than my Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light.
But this Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword is a Sword Immortal Great Divine Technique that is both offensive and defensive. It is driven by the power of the Five Elements, evolving into five Five Elements Divine Swords: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Finally, when the five swords combine, the Five Emperors Divine Sword emerges, sealing heaven and locking earth, forming a sword dao cage. To break out of the cage, one must first break the sword dao lockdown... No wonder when I previously comprehended, I always felt that this sword had excess power but insufficient sharpness. It turns out it is not a purely offensive divine technique.
Even though the attack of this evolved Five Emperors Divine Sword is also strong, the main focus is still on the word ’seal.’"
Bai Ziyue marveled, and joy filled his heart.
This time, his gains were truly immense.
A cultivation technique directly pointing to the mid-stage Primordial Spirit Realm, combined with the previously obtained Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting, made it a total of three great divine techniques.
Moreover, the power of these three great divine techniques was extremely strong. Once practiced, they could immediately greatly enhance his strength.
"However, it is evident that both the Five Emperors Divine Robe and the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword were created based on the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique.
This means that practicing the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique is required to truly exert the strongest power of those two great divine techniques.
In this respect, it is quite similar to the Immortal Martial Sect inheritance in the Desolate Ancient Realm. Whether it’s the Immortal Martial Hand Seal or the Immortal Martial Glowing Light, and even the Immortal Martial True Body, they were all created based on the Immortal Martial Dao Skill.
If one has not practiced the Immortal Martial Dao Skill, even though one could still practice the Immortal Martial Hand Seal and the Immortal Martial Glowing Light, because the complementary effect is lost, it is difficult to exert the power of those secret skills comparable to divine techniques."
Bai Ziyue pondered silently and soon smiled lamely, "Fortunately, this is not much of a problem for me.
Both the Primordial Daoist Method and the Heaven-Devouring Divine Transformation Technique are top-tier cultivation techniques created based on numerous techniques, naturally containing the wonders of Five Elements utilization.
And most importantly, when I was in the Enlightenment Realm, I ignited 1,296 acupoints, breaking through to the Divine Realm with Acupoint Perfection in my body.
This means, in theory, I can completely practice and use any magical great divine techniques without encountering situations where I cannot practice or cannot fully exert the power of divine techniques.
With acupoints unobstructed, naturally, many miraculous applications can be fully continued.
At worst, I can integrate the essence of the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique in the next creation of a technique.
After all, this is a cultivation technique directly pointing to the mid-stage Primordial Spirit Realm. Practicing it can form a second-grade Golden Core; its many subtleties are indeed unique."
Then, Bai Ziyue set his sights on the attribute panel.
Sure enough, he saw that the Five Emperors Reincarnation Technique, the Five Emperors Divine Robe, the Five Emperors Heaven-Sealing Sword, and the Primordial Magnetic Great Cutting all manifested on the attribute panel, which steadied his heart.
Finally seeing the Soul Energy value, he couldn’t help but sigh, "Previously upgrading the Nine Qi Unification Alchemy Method to the fourth layer, my Soul Energy was already greatly consumed, leaving only ten million points. This time, five hours of enlightenment time consumed another three million Soul Energy.
Now there are only a little over seven million left.
Calculating by the required enlightenment time for the last creation of a technique, this Soul Energy is not enough to consume.
Even if I could increase a certain amount of Soul Energy daily, it would still be like a drop in the bucket.
It seems it’s time for me to head out on a journey to earn a wave of Soul Energy."
Bai Ziyue found himself with the thought of leaving the Sect.
