Is there something inside the skull?
Li Cheng looked dubiously at the skull. Before, there had indeed been the Heavenâs Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame residing within, but was there still something there now?
Use your Spiritual Sense to check!â Old Bai reminded.
Li Cheng realized that when he previously checked with his Spiritual Sense, he hadnât yet subdued the Heavenâs Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, and after it devoured that part of his Spiritual Sense, he hadnât checked again using his Spiritual Sense.
For an Immortal to hide something within a skull, it certainly wasnât going to be ordinary!
His Spiritual Sense surged out, enveloping the skull, and indeed, on the inner side of the skull, Li Cheng found a simple seal.
If the old manâs Remnant Soul hadnât been severely damaged by Black Elder, Li Cheng might not have been able to break the seal, but now, he easily broke it.
As soon as the seal was broken, what followed was a Cultivation Technique!
âChaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!â
After briefly reviewing it, Li Cheng appeared astonished, âHave the Black and White Elders ever heard of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture? Itâs much more powerful than the Xuanqing Immortal Scroll that Iâm cultivating!â
The Black and White Elders pondered, both shaking their heads. Black Elder said, âIt must be a Cultivation Technique from the Immortal World! If it were a Cultivation Technique from the Kunlun Realm, we would definitely have heard of it.â
Old Baiâs eyes gleamed with hope, âTo what Realm can it be cultivated?â
In this world, there were no specific grades for Cultivation Techniques; their strength lay in the Realm they could help achieve.
The Xuanqing Immortal Scroll that Li Cheng was currently cultivating could be cultivated to the Complete stage of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, which was already considered a top-tier Cultivation Technique in the Kunlun Realm.
But this Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture could actually be cultivated to the realm of Immortal Emperor!
Li Cheng had seen it mentioned in the Scripture Repository, the Immortal Emperor, that was the ceiling realm of the Immortal World.
âThis Technique records eighteen layers, but starting from the tenth layer, there are some deficiencies. If perfected, it can be cultivated to the Immortal Emperor level,â he said.
According to the description, there should be a total of thirty-three layers, but the skull only contained eighteen!
Moreover, these eighteen layers were incomplete, which didnât make them very valuable, unless the deficiencies could be filled.
Li Cheng said this and looked towards the two Elders, the implication was clear, did they want it?
The Elders shook their heads with a smile, and Black Elder said, âThe old manâs Realm was certainly not low, it seems he had already perfected quite a bit of
it.â
Old Bai nodded, âMaybe, he intentionally left it incomplete!â
âWeâre not interested, you keep it. But if you want to cultivate it, you need to think it over carefully,â they advised.
Li Cheng smiled without saying much, with Enlightenment opportunities at hand, completing the Cultivation Technique would be no trouble!
In fact, based on this foundation, he could even make the Technique stronger!
Enlightenment, that was a state of unity with heaven and earth, a state where one could use the universe itself as a teacherâwhy would one fear any deficiencies in a Cultivation Technique?
As he scrutinized the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture once more, Li Chengâs heart grew increasingly awe-struck.
This Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was a practice of concurrently cultivating the physical body, the soul, and True Yuanâjust cultivating to the ninth layer would make the bodyâs strength comparable to that of a demi-Immortal Artifact!
If the physical body was that strong, there was no doubt that the True Yuan and the soul strengthening alongside it would be formidably powerful.
âIf I could cultivate my physical body to the strength of a demi-Immortal Artifact, doesnât that mean, just by standing there, others using a demi-Immortal Artifact would hardly be able to break through my bodily defenses?â
âThe ninth layer is the Tribulation Crossing Stage, cultivating a body of demi-Immortal Artifact level at the Tribulation Crossing Stage? My body right now is only comparable to a lower-grade Spiritual Artifact!â
I must switch my cultivation!
I definitely must!
Li Cheng instantly made up his mind.
With his current Cultivation, switching wouldnât be difficult; he just needed to transform his True Yuan into the True Yuan of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, and that would be considered a successful switch.
Moreover, he still had opportunities for Enlightenment.
Once the switch was completed, he would be several times stronger than he was now!
He previously wondered how that old man, who was merely a True Immortal, could possess such a powerful Remnant Soul. Now, he understoodâit was because the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture was so potent!
During his lifetime, the old man must have been invincible among his peers, right?
But what Li Cheng didnât know was that the old man was more than just a True Immortal.
He had merely understated his level, afraid of losing face and tarnishing his reputation of tens of thousands of years.
âOnce I return to the sect and deal with the Pill Sect, Iâll go into seclusion to cultivate the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture!â
Just then, natureâs spiritual energy began to surge crazily towards the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod!
âHis Sword Body is about to be complete!â
Li Cheng felt a movement in his heart and stored the Purple Void Jade Emperorâs Tripod away.
Yun Tianqiong was seen sitting cross-legged in the Sword Immortal Pool, with the Sword Path Rules that had been washing over his body all drilling into him now!
âTsk tsk, my nephew, your discipleâs potential is truly boundless!â Black Elder marveled unceasingly.
Old Bai also showed excitement, âAt the Qi Cultivation Realm alone, he already possesses Sword Path Rules within his body, and not just a small number. Thatâs something only Immortals have!â
Li Cheng smiled and flipped his hand to also add the droplet of Sword Essence into the Sword Immortal Pool, âThen letâs allow him to absorb more Sword Path Rules while his Sword Body is forming!â
With Yun Tianqiongâs cultivation level, although he couldnât utilize the Sword Path Rules yet, having them inside his body would surely make his cultivation soar at an astonishing pace.
This was a target that Immortals had prepared to seize through possession, pushing him to become a monstrous talent, yet in the end, it benefited Yun Tianqiong!
Of course, the stronger Yun Tianqiong became, the more benefits Li Cheng accumulated, so in a sense, it also benefited Li Cheng!
âOld Bai, the Sect Master said this journey would be extremely dangerous, but it turned out to be extremely fortunate!â Black Elder transmitted his laughter.
Old Bai sighed and, turning his head to Black Elder, transmitted back, âThis battle has made it so that neither of us can overcome the next Loose Immortal Tribulation, is that really fortunate?â
Black Elder frowned. That was true!
The sect has indeed lost two nine-tribulation Loose Immortals, which definitely wasnât a good sign.
Gathering his thoughts, Black Elder then said, âNo matter, whether itâs Li Cheng or his disciple, they are both monstrously talented with limitless futures, so itâs worth it!â
Old Bai nodded, he couldnât disagree with that.
They had both lived almost ten thousand years, it was not in vain.
Natureâs spiritual energy rushed into Yun Tianqiongâs body like mad, coupled with the influx of Sword Path Rules, unconsciously, his body began to emanate strands of Sword Qi.
At this moment, Yun Tianqiong became like a sharp sword. Even though he was simply sitting there, it was as if an astonishing Sword Intent was about to break through the heavens.
[Disciple Yun Tianqiong has formed an initial-level Sword Body, reward: 6 Enlightenment opportunities. ]
[Disciple Yun Tianqiong has integrated Sword Path Rules within his body, reward: 3 Enlightenment opportunities.]
Suddenly, a notification sounded in Li Chengâs mind.
Li Cheng subtly raised an eyebrow. Well now, nine Enlightenment opportunities all at once!
[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 10 times.]
So rich!
Now he could have Enlightenment at will. Anything he didnât understand, he could just have Enlightenment on!
Wherever he was lacking, thatâs where heâd focus!
Amidst his delight, the aura around Yun Tianqiong receded like a sharp sword being sheathed.
âThank you, Master, for saving me!â
Opening his eyes, Yun Tianqiong immediately knelt down, speaking respectfully.
Li Cheng casually waved a stream of True Yuan and lifted Yun Tianqiong, âSince everything has been resolved, follow your master back to focus on your cultivation.â
âYes, Master!â
When Yun Tianqiong was perceiving the sword scar left by Li Cheng, his admiration for him had grown immensely, and now, having faced calamity and obtained a tremendous opportunity through his masterâs aid, his reverence for Li Cheng deepened beyond measure.
âBlack and White Uncles, donât rush to go into seclusion after we return. Iâll try to concoct two King Grade Responding to Calamity Pills for you.â
Just as they were preparing to set off, Li Cheng suddenly spoke.
King Grade Responding to Calamity Pills?
Both elders looked at Li Cheng in astonishment. If a King Grade eighth-level Spirit Pill could truly be concocted, they wouldnât have to worry about their Loose Immortal Tribulation!
Facing the astonished yet hopeful gazes of the two, Li Cheng nodded slightly. In truth, he had wanted to mention Emperor Grade Responding to Calamity Pills, but he hadnât tried making them before and didnât want to make promises he couldnât keep.
Unbeknownst to Li Cheng, when he had previously been concocting pills, Black and White Elders had secretly watched him. They harbored no doubts about Li Chengâs ability to concoct King Grade Responding to Calamity Pills.
But to show that they hadnât been secretly watching, they had to act surprised and they did so perfectly in sync!
