Chapter 16: Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique, Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture

Chapter 16: Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique, Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture

After flying across several peaks, a magnificent nine-story tower appeared before his eyes.

Zhang Yuhe flew down swiftly, only to see an Elder with a long beard wildly waving his brush in front of the tower's doors, completely unaware that someone had arrived.

"This Senior truly has such refined tastes."

Seeing that the Senior guarding the Scripture Pavilion was focused on calligraphy, Zhang Yuhe did not dare to make a sound to disturb him, standing quietly to the side instead.

After a long while, the long-bearded Elder still kept waving his brush without stopping, which made him curiously steal a couple of glances.

This…

Seeing the long-bearded Elder's calligraphy, Zhang Yuhe was utterly speechless.

The Elder's calligraphy couldn't just be called ugly; it could only be said to be completely unpresentable.

Seeing the Elder so focused earlier, Zhang Yuhe had thought he must be a calligraphy master of the cultivation world.

However, reality completely exceeded his expectations; this Elder could at most be said to be writing characters, having nothing whatsoever to do with calligraphy.

As for that handwriting, it was probably several tiers worse than a kindergarten child from Blue Star.

It made him want to shake his head.

To be able to focus so intently while writing such dog-scratch handwriting was truly something else.

What kind of nasty habit was this anyway?

After a moment more, the long-bearded Elder waved his large hand and gently put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand.

He picked up his "masterpiece" and examined it closely, nodding repeatedly as he looked, quite pleased with himself.

Suddenly, the Elder seemed to have just discovered Zhang Yuhe's presence. He picked up the scroll in his hand, instantly arrived in front of Zhang Yuhe, and asked with a proud expression,

"Young man, let this old man broaden your horizons and see how well this piece of calligraphy is written?"

Zhang Yuhe felt that he was an upright person and didn't want to speak against his conscience, so he could only remain silent.

Silence was his final persistence.

"Hmph, what an ignorant brat."

The Elder clearly saw through his thoughts and seemed somewhat displeased.

"Which peak's Disciple are you, and what brings you here?"

The Elder was clearly still angry, and his words showed no pleasant expression toward Zhang Yuhe.

He came here naturally to exchange for a Cultivation Technique! As an important ground of the Dao Saint Sect, if not to exchange for a Cultivation Technique, who would dare idly wander around here with nothing better to do?

Wasn't this looking for trouble?

Hearing the Elder's words, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help feeling some regret.

If he had known earlier, he would have praised it a couple of times against his conscience. Look at how this turned out…

Pity that there was no regret medicine in this world, nor a Moonlight Box, unable to let him return to a few seconds ago.

Zhang Yuhe had no choice but to reply in a low voice,

"This Disciple is Zhang Yuhe of Galaxy Peak, here to exchange for a Cultivation Technique."

After speaking, he handed over his identity jade token.

The Elder took the jade token, glanced at it, and said with a somewhat disdainful expression,

"Oh, you're that kid who had dogshit luck, picked up a token, and just joined the Sect?"

The Elder's words made Zhang Yuhe feel even more apprehensive inside.

Since he hadn't praised it a few times earlier and offended this guarding Elder of the Scripture Pavilion, would the matter of the Cultivation Technique fall through just like that?

Just as Zhang Yuhe was beating drums in his heart, the Elder waved his large hand, tossing a thin booklet toward him, and then said indifferently,

"Take a look yourself, and tell me once you've chosen."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe finally let out a long sigh of relief. He happily took the booklet and quickly opened it to check.

The booklet was not a Cultivation Technique, but rather recorded the corresponding introductions of the Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion.

Opening the first page of the booklet, rows of tiny handwriting came into view.

《Blazing Flame True Scripture》, fire-attribute Cultivation Technique, High Grade Heaven Rank.

This is a top-tier Cultivation Technique pointing directly to the Immortal Realm. Relying on this Cultivation Technique, one can Cultivate all the way to Mahayana Ascension.

Moreover, the Divine Ability matching this Cultivation Technique is also extremely fierce.

The Divine Ability, Blazing Flame Scorching Heaven, has the might to burn mountains and boil seas. Once mighty figures unleash it with full force, even the Void Realm can be burned through.

"This Cultivation Technique is so fierce. Should I just learn this one?"

Seeing the introduction on 《Blazing Flame True Scripture》, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help feeling somewhat tempted.

He could completely learn fire-attribute Cultivation Techniques; he had all eight Spiritual Roots complete, and they were all top-tier Dao-grade Spiritual Roots.

According to common sense, he would have no obstacles learning any attribute's Cultivation Technique.

"Let's check other Cultivation Techniques first before deciding."

Although somewhat tempted, Zhang Yuhe decided to take a look first.

He then turned to the next page.

《Overturning Sea True Scripture》, water-attribute Cultivation Technique, High Grade Heaven Rank…

As page after page was turned, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help marveling at the foundation of the Dao Saint Sect.

"It's truly too strong."

Flipping through eight consecutive pages, what was recorded on them were all High Grade Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, with exactly corresponding Cultivation Techniques for each of the eight attributes.

"Which Cultivation Technique should I choose in the end?"

According to the introduction in the booklet, every single Cultivation Technique above was incomparably powerful, leaving him unable to make a choice for a moment.

He subconsciously flipped through the booklet in his hand once more.

"Eh, there is still one more page behind."

"Holy shit…"

When Zhang Yuhe turned to the ninth page, the whole person was shocked.

Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture, Immortal Grade (suspected), Divine Ability (ominous), which can only be known after fully comprehending the Cultivation Technique.

Advice: This Cultivation Technique requires having all eight Spiritual Roots complete to Cultivate, and the difficulty to Cultivate is extremely high (perhaps there are other special requirements).

For the past million years of the Dao Saint Sect, no one has ever successfully achieved Foundation Establishment relying on this Cultivation Technique.

Before choosing this Cultivation Technique, please consider carefully.

Zhang Yuhe held the booklet in his hand, speechless for a long time. It was too agonizing.

Without a doubt, the first eight Cultivation Techniques were every single one a path to the heavens.

Choosing any one of them casually could lead to the apex of the Yufantian World, and even Ascension to the Immortal Realm wouldn't be a problem.

However, the temptation of that final Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was truly too great.

An Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique, even if it was only suspected, would inevitably have unfathomable effects.

Otherwise, why would other Cultivation Techniques clearly indicate their grades, while this Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture was a suspected Immortal Grade?

This Cultivation Technique clearly had a profound background. Even though no one had ever successfully Cultivated it, the Dao Saint Sect still carefully stored it within the Scripture Pavilion.

Zhang Yuhe's brain spun at high speed.

Over so many years, why could no one Cultivate the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture to success?

Was it because his natural talent wasn't enough? Or was his Comprehension Ability insufficient? Or were there other reasons?

Zhang Yuhe thought while closely examining the content on the booklet.

The description of the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture on the booklet was very little. Soon, a sentence among them caught his attention.

[The difficulty to Cultivate is extremely high (perhaps there are other special requirements).]

Special requirements?

Could it be because of this?

Those people who once tried to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique did not meet certain requirements, which was why they couldn't Cultivate it successfully?

Seeing this sentence, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help guessing.

"But what on earth could this special requirement be?"

A suspected Immortal-Grade Cultivation Technique was placed right before him; he didn't want to give it up.

But if he didn't figure out the problem, he wouldn't dare make a rash choice either.

In case he couldn't Cultivate it either, that would spell huge trouble.

Although he felt that he was a super Cultivation Genius, it was very obvious that wanting to successfully Cultivate the Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture wasn't just a matter of ordinary natural talent.

The Dao Saint Sect had been in this realm for over a million years, and it definitely lacked no geniuses.

Zhang Yuhe didn't think that things others couldn't do, he could accomplish just by stepping up.

He wasn't that arrogant.

There should be a certain degree of compatibility needed inside. Only by fitting the requirements of this Cultivation Technique would it be possible to Cultivate successfully.

Suddenly, inspiration flashed in Zhang Yuhe's mind.

"Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture, Primordial Dao Body."

"Could it be that Cultivating this Cultivation Technique requires a corresponding special Physique, for instance, the Primordial Dao Body?"

In an instant, Zhang Yuhe felt that he had thought of the key to it all.
