Shen Luo muttered to himself for a moment. He stood up and walked to the table, placing the green bamboo tube near the flame of the oil lamp.
The dim yellow flame licked the bamboo tube, and the place where the two sides touched began to turn yellow.
He squinted his eyes. He didn't immediately remove the bamboo tube, but continued to roast it with the flame of the lamp.
The yellowed bamboo tube quickly turned black, and a few red sparks appeared inside it. Wisps of smoke rose, as if it was about to burn.
Shen Luo hurriedly removed the bamboo tube and blew out the sparks. His face revealed a disappointed expression.
It seemed like this emerald green bamboo tube was really just an ordinary item.
He laughed at himself.
This time, not only did he find the Nameless Heavenly Book as he wished, but he also unexpectedly obtained a treasure box with the ability to shrink things. His Minor Yang Conversion Art, which had been stagnant for a long time, was now perfect. He was too greedy to want more treasures.
Shen Luo secretly warned himself, but he still couldn't bear to throw away the bamboo tube. He put it back into the stone box.
He returned to his bed and sat cross-legged. He picked up the Nameless Heavenly Book and continued to "stroke" it.
In the next few days, Shen Luo studied the Nameless Heavenly Book in seclusion. When he was tired, he would meditate and rest. When he recovered, he would continue to read the book. Occasionally, he would ask Xiao Sanzi to bring him some food to eat.
With almost no sleep or rest, he finally finished reading the contents of this half of the Nameless Heavenly Book in the afternoon of the fifth day.
On this day, Shen Luo sat cross-legged on his bed. His face was unshaven and full of fatigue, but his eyes were shining with excitement.
Just as he had guessed, the Nameless Heavenly Book recorded a cultivation method. It was many times more profound than the Minor Yang Conversion Art. It was a real immortal cultivation method.
This cultivation method didn't have a name. According to the introduction, it was divided into eighteen levels. It could be cultivated from the Qi Refining Stage to the Immortal Ascension Stage.
In addition, he also figured out all the cultivation stages before crossing the tribulation to become an immortal. They were the Qi Refining Stage, the Fasting Stage, the Soul Condensing Stage, the Out-of-Body Stage, the Mahayana Stage and the True Immortal Stage.
The Nameless Heavenly Book did not explain the six great realms in detail, and only briefly mentioned them. If one were to cultivate them to a profound level, not only would one's lifespan be long, one would also possess powerful abilities. Even being able to summon the wind and rain, move the mountains and fill the seas would not be a problem.
As for the final True Immortal Stage, one could truly ascend and become an Immortal, shining as brightly as the sun and moon, and living as long as the heavens and earth.
Although there were only a few sentences in the book, Shen Luo was still excited.
In these past few years, he'd seen descriptions of "Immortals" in some fantastic stories more than once. Especially those stories of subduing demons, eliminating devils, and enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens, it was even more fascinating to him. However, with his weak body at that time, even living like a normal person was an extravagant hope, and cultivating to become an Immortal was even more wishful thinking.
Now, however, things were different. His Minor Yang Art had reached perfection, and his physique had changed greatly. Even though he could not completely recover from the loss of his vitality due to the Yin Qi, at least he now had the qualifications to practice Immortal Cultivation Techniques.
Unfortunately, the latter half of the leather scroll was torn, and only the first nine stages of the Cultivation Method were recorded. In other words, after cultivating all of them, one could reach the Soul Condensing Stage.
Shen Luo was not disappointed by this.
According to the book, combined with the information he'd discussed with Bai Xiaotian, cultivating to become an Immortal was something that defied the heavens. Every stage of cultivation was abnormally difficult. If one's aptitude was not good enough, or if one's perception was not enough, even the most basic Qi Refining Stage would not be able to reach it. Among the hundred disciples of the Temple of Spring and Autumn, only three had truly entered this stage and possessed magical power.
Although Shen Luo yearned for the profound stages described in the Nameless Heavenly Book, he did not have the wishful thinking that he could easily reach it. If he could reach the Qi Refining Stage and increase his lifespan by sixty years, he would be satisfied.
Of course, if his luck was good and he could reach a higher stage, that would be even better.
Moreover, after this treasure hunt, he was already convinced of everything that had happened in the bizarre dream brought to him by the jade pillow.
It really was the future world a thousand years in the future!
In other words, in a few hundred years, the Demonic Calamity Day would descend …
Shen Luo stopped his train of thought and let out a long sigh.
Everything about the future was still very far away, and it was useless to think too much about it. Now, it was better to cultivate this Nameless Heavenly Book first, and then talk about other things.
After making up his mind, he put the leather scroll back into the stone box and hid the stone box under the pillow. Only then did he fall into bed and sleep.
…
After an unknown period of time, Shen Luo slowly woke up from his sleep. The accumulated fatigue of the past few days was swept away, and he felt that his whole body was full of energy.
Shen Luo got out of bed and stretched his limbs, and then opened the window.
It was pitch-black outside, and he could faintly see the crescent moon setting in the west through the branches and leaves of the banyan tree. The courtyard outside the window was quiet except for the occasional sound of insects. It seemed that it was already the latter half of the night.
"Could it be that I slept for a whole day and a half?" Shen Luo secretly muttered. Then, he turned around and walked towards the bed.
It was late at night, and it was a good time to practice.
Shen Luo stretched out his hand and took out the stone box from under the pillow. Then, he put it in his bosom, and gently opened the door and walked out.
Speaking of which, the practice of this Nameless Heavenly Book was quite strange. From the very beginning, one needed to meditate in a pond or a small stream to practice it.
However, this wasn't a difficult thing to do. There was a small stream not far from the town, and he had passed by it on his way here.
Shen Luo followed the corridor, and turned a corner, and arrived near a courtyard wall.
With a light leap, as if his body was weightless, he leaped more than ten feet high from the ground. His right hand pushed against the wall, and his entire body silently landed in a small alley outside. It was the same place where he had tested the talismans a few nights ago.
Shen Luo turned around and looked at the wall, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After the Minor Yang Art had been perfected, his jumping ability had greatly improved. It was a pity that he hadn't learned any Light Body Technique. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to use his hands to climb over this small courtyard wall.
He slightly identified the direction, and quickly rushed towards the end of the alley. After a moment, he left the town, and arrived near a small stream three or four miles away from the town.
This small stream was only three or four feet wide, and the water was quite clear. It was full of aquatic plants.
Shen Luo found a remote area near the stream, and took off his clothes. He was only wearing a robe.
He was about to enter the water when his gaze swept over his shoulder. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stared without blinking.
At the place where the previous dark red teeth marks were, there was no trace of the teeth marks. Instead, there was a bowl-sized black skull pattern!
