This handsome middle-aged man was the head of the Luo family and one of the top ten experts of the Illusory Realm, Luo Qianqiu.
After staring at the white scroll for a while, Luo Qianqiu rolled it up and said, "Wang Mian, follow me to the library."
The yellow-robed man Wang Mian was startled, but he didn't dare to ask any questions and simply nodded, "Yes."
Luo Qianqiu's figure flew out of the study and arrived outside a two-story jade building. The words "Library" were engraved on the signboard with bold golden ink.
Wang Mian followed closely behind, his heart burning with excitement. Could it be that because of his meritorious service, the head of the family would reward the Wang family with some techniques?
As a vassal family of the Luo family, the Wang family had many techniques, but none of them were as profound as the Luo family's.
Of the three great families of the Illusory Realm, the Xiao family was famous for their alchemy, the Ning family for their treasures, and the Luo family for their techniques. This was a publicly acknowledged fact.
Luo Qianqiu formed a seal and a white golden light flashed, condensing into a large ancient character for "Luo", which he placed on the door of the library.
The formation on the white jade door flickered brilliantly and opened, releasing a dense white mist.
Luo Qianqiu slowly walked into the library with Wang Mian following behind him.
The library was divided into two floors, but it was more than forty feet tall. The surroundings were filled with tall bookshelves, on top of which were leather scrolls, books, and precious jade slips. The cultivation techniques were like a sea of stars.
Wang Mian had been here several times, and every time he entered, his eyes were filled with envy.
However, he could only watch helplessly. After all, no one dared to steal from the Luo family. Luo Qianqiu alone could be considered a top figure among the top ten experts, not to mention the large number of elders and other direct descendants of the Luo family.
Luo Qianqiu waved his hand and a leather scroll floated out from an inconspicuous corner, landing in his hand.
He couldn't tell the age of this scroll or what material it was made of, but it should be a technique passed down from ancient times.
Luo Qianqiu tossed the scroll to Wang Mian, "Take a look at this technique."
Wang Mian nodded and curiously opened it, thinking that it was a reward for him, but after two glances, he was dumbfounded!
"This … this … how could this be …"
Wang Mian kept stuttering as if he had spat his tongue out. His eyes were wide open and he was dumbstruck.
"This cultivation method is called the Nine Tier Void Refinement Technique. It's a cultivation method passed down by our ancestors more than 50,000 years ago. It's extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Although it's said to have nine tiers, there are actually only eight tiers. The last tier, 'Rebirth', only has a name but no cultivation method.
Moreover, the power of this cultivation technique is far inferior to the other cultivation techniques of our clan. There was a senior who managed to cultivate it to the seventh level, 'Parting the Dust', but he discovered that he could only barely enter the Xiantian realm. It was too weak, so he gave up.
When I was young, I've looked through it before. There are many parts of this technique that I don't understand. It's extremely easy for one to go berserk and be consigned to eternal damnation. Moreover … the further one cultivates, the more difficult it is to understand. The ninth layer only has the word 'rebirth', it's simply unimaginable … "
When Wang Mian heard this, he was tongue-tied in disbelief. "These … these two cultivation methods are clearly exactly the same! Could it be … could it be that the one that Yang Cheng gave me was fake!? "
Luo Qianqiu expressionlessly fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, "I don't know either. After all, this Nine Tier Void Refinement Technique isn't some rare cultivation method. This kind of remnant ancient cultivation method is a piece of crap. Every clan has a few, so it doesn't necessarily mean that other clans don't have it as well. Perhaps it's just that the name is different.
Some of the cultivation methods passed down by the ancient martial arts sects in the secular world are similar to the cultivation methods in the illusory realm, so it's not unusual. It's not impossible that Yang Cheng knew of this cultivation method's existence and casually wrote an obscure cultivation method. "
"Even Patriarch, you didn't notice the uniqueness of this cultivation method, so it must be fake. How could it be a cultivation method that can break through the Nine Heavenly Thunder Tribulation? This Yang Cheng kid is extremely cunning. I was almost fooled by him!" Wang Mian said through gritted teeth. He felt extremely ashamed. He had been so smug during the day, but now that he thought about it, it was simply a joke!
Luo Qianqiu narrowed his eyes. He was very confident in his own talent and didn't think that this Nine Tier Void Refinement Technique was really the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture. After all, for tens of thousands of years, the ancestors of the Luo Clan had no lack of outstanding talents who tried to comprehend this cultivation method, but they all failed.
He didn't think that Yang Cheng could surpass the countless geniuses of the Luo Clan and use this remnant cultivation method to break through the Tai Qing Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
With a flick of his hand, the cultivation method written on the cultivation paper was instantly evaporated by a ball of golden-red flame. The Nine Tier Void Refinement Technique also flew back to its original position.
Luo Qianqiu turned to Wang Mian and said, "Alright, you don't have to blame yourself. Yang Cheng is a member of the Yang Clan. With that old thing around, it's not easy to deal with him openly. It's not your fault that you couldn't obtain the cultivation method this time.
In another year, the 'Eye of the Demonic' will open once every hundred years. You'd better go back and cultivate well, urging the younger generation to work harder and improve their strength. When the time comes, you'll be able to obtain great benefits. "
As he said this, Luo Qianqiu reached for a cultivation method book from a nearby bookshelf and handed it to Wang Mian.
"Although this' Thousand Phantoms Frozen Clouds' isn't a very profound cultivation method, the spells inside are not bad. It can raise one's battle strength by quite a bit in a short period of time. Take it back and hand it over to a suitable junior to cultivate," Luo Qianqiu said.
Wang Mian immediately nodded his head seriously. He valued the opening of the 'Eye of the Demonic' very much. Receiving the cultivation method, he was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Luo Qianqiu before flying away.
After Wang Mian left, Luo Qianqiu walked out of the library and formed a seal to close the door.
At this time, a slim and graceful figure descended from the sky. It was a charming woman dressed in a blue cloud-sleeved dress. Her cloud-like hair was tied up high, her beautiful eyes were filled with boundless lust, and her red lips were alluring.
"Husband, it's so late, yet you still came to the library to look at cultivation methods?" This beautiful woman was Luo Qianqiu's wife, Leng Qingqiu.
It was no coincidence that both of them had the word 'Qiu' in their names. Rather, the Luo Family's vassal family, the Leng Family, had deliberately added the word 'Qiu' into their names when they were born.
Luo Qianqiu's unchanging face was still expressionless as he indifferently looked at the woman. "What are you doing here?"
Leng Qingqiu's incomparably seductive and beautiful face was filled with hidden bitterness. "Husband, why do you say that? You've been cultivating in your study for the past month or so. This concubine misses you, so I came to take a look."
"If you're bored, you can also go into seclusion to cultivate." Luo Qianqiu lightly said.
"Husband, you know this concubine doesn't like to cultivate." Leng Qingqiu was used to Luo Qianqiu's coldness and still smiled like a flower. "Hang 'er has been gone for a few days. Does husband know when he will return?"
"He will be back very soon." Luo Qianqiu casually replied. He had no interest in continuing to talk nonsense with his wife. His figure flashed and he flew back to his study.
Leng Qingqiu looked in the direction of the study, her eyes faintly flashing a trace of coldness.
… …
The North Pole, thousands of miles of ice, the cold wind biting into the bone.
In mid-air, Athena, dressed in a black dress and barefoot, still stood at the top of the world, overlooking the land of ice and snow.
Behind her, the black-robed iron masked man respectfully looked at the thing in Athena's hand with some fear.
It was an object the size of an egg, emitting a faint yellow luster. If one looked closely, they would find that it was Gaia's Heart.
However, compared to the little yellow dot from before, Gaia's Heart was much larger, faintly exuding a kind of majestic divine might that disdains the world.
"It's time …"
No one knew who she was talking to. After Athena murmured a sentence, the Gaia's Heart in her hand floated down.
Shrouded in a yellow light, Gaia's Heart fell faster and faster. Finally, it turned into a beam of light and directly pierced under the ice!
Penetrating the eternal glacier, Gaia's Heart fell into the sea, and then drilled into the deep sea, all the way to the hinterland of the deep sea.
When it felt that there was enough soil around, Gaia's Heart finally came to a stop.
Then, slowly, slowly, from all directions, energy that was invisible to the naked eye began to gather towards Gaia's Heart …
Gaia's Heart, with a "thump" sound, expanded and contracted, and strangely jumped up!
The black-robed man in the sky looked puzzled. He could not help but ask, "Your Excellency, is that all? Why does nothing seem to have happened? "
Athena's voice was like an echo from an empty valley, faintly discernible, "You are not of my God Race, how can you feel … The recovery of Gaia's Heart, no one can stop it. This world, after all, still belongs to our God Race. It's time to end the grudge of ten thousand years …"
