Chapter 321: 321 Book of Mystical Heaven
“Phoenix bloodline? You belong to the Monster Race?”
When Gu Yang morphed into a Phoenix and quickly fled, that gruff voice again echoed, causing his head to throb incessantly.
He retorted irritably, “You’re the one from the Monster Race, your whole family is from the Monster Race. Also, speak less loudly, my ears are… I’m nearly deafened by you.”
“So you’re a body cultivator who practices by borrowing the Monster Race Essence Blood, hmm, these are deviant methods.”
Unruffled, Gu Yang said, “I’ve actually misled myself. Can you point me to the right path?”
“Within your Zifu, there is a divine scripture. If you retrieve it, you can aspire to become a Celestial Immortal in the future. However, do you dare to go back? Without the strength of the Human Immortal, you won’t be able to exterminate those Heavenly Demons from outside realms.”
Divine scripture?
Gu Yang couldn’t help but feel tempted, clearly it was an ancient Immortal Cultivator technique.
The practices he cultivated, whether it was “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” or “Nine Heavens Divine Method”, were all adapted by the later generations after the Way of Heaven perished, to fit the era.
Not that these practices were ineffectual, but so far, none among those who cultivated Martial Arts had reached the Hollow Void realm.
Even a character like the Xia Emperor had failed to take that step.
One couldn’t help but question if there was a problem with these practices.
The “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” was deliberately disseminated by the Divine Beast Phoenix before its Nirvana. Whether or not it contains the practices of the Celestial Being realm remains uncertain.
The “Nine Heavens Divine Method” was given to the Xia Emperor by a mysterious person under the palace grounds. Whether this mysterious person was good or evil was questionable, suggesting that this practice might also have problems.
Gu Yang had always wanted to find some genuine ancient inheritance practices. Even if they couldn’t be used for cultivation, they could serve as references to deduce practices of realms like the Celestial Being and even the Hollow Void.
He possessed a Simulator and had ample time to deduce.
Even if the path to Martial Arts in this world had reached the end, he would carve a new path.
Therefore, upon hearing there was a divine scripture in that cave dwelling, Gu Yang immediately activated the system, initiating a simulation.
“…You utilized the complex terrain, circled around, returned to the cave dwelling, used your Phoenix transformation to clear the path, fought your way in, obtained The ‘Taixuan Heavenly Book’ in the Scripture Pavilion. You acquired the legacy of the divine scripture, but were besieged by strange beings, your mana was drained, and you eventually died in battle at the age of twenty-two.”
Got it!
He was overjoyed. With just one simulation, he successfully obtained the divine scripture. It was too smooth.
“Simulation has ended, you can retain one of the following items.”
“…”
Gu Yang firmly chose the second option.
Immediately, countless mysterious and profound mantras of cultivation methods surged into his mind.
After a while, he felt something was amiss, “Eh, why is it only the first level?”
The content in his mind only contained the first level, that is, the Divine Power realm, including the content of the three realms: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.
Techniques of the realms above Celestial Being were missing.
“Damn it.”
Gu Yang cursed under his breath. These cultivation secret manuals all had this issue. They wouldn’t directly give you all the techniques, only when your cultivation reached that level would you receive the corresponding realm’s technique.
His current cultivation level was equivalent to the Golden Core stage, so what he got was the Nascent Soul stage’s technique.
The techniques of just this realm alone greatly broadened his horizons.
Contrary to the conciseness of “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” and “Nine Heavens Divine Method”, the contents of just the three realms in the “Taixuan Heavenly Book” exceeded these two practices tenfold.
Needless to say, the contents within were extremely profound, containing a vast amount of information. When expanded, it was more than a hundred times more than the techniques of Martial Arts.
Many puzzling areas were now clear to him through the divine scripture, which deepened his understanding of the path of cultivation.
Many aspects enlightened him.
The ancient Immortal Cultivators’ understanding of this universe was somewhat beyond his imagination.
In comparison, the Martial Arts that are trending in Great Zhou now are just a simplified version, and myriad contents had been removed.
Though those contents seemed useless, they could help Martial Artists understand the essence of cultivation, and could be beneficial for them to walk further.
Honestly, Gu Yang didn’t respect Cultivators much initially. Be it in the Water Moon Celestial Realm, or Yellow Springs Celestial Realm, even the Golden Court Celestial Realm.
The cultivators he encountered seemed weak. It was effortless for him to kill Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If it were an Unleaking Realm Martial Artist, it would be more difficult.
