True Seal of Mana
Five days later, in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, an Elder from the Merit Court came. This was an order from the Sect Leader to pass on a cultivation method to Zhang Yan.
Originally, the Elders in the Merit Court were all highly respected and had high seniority. If a disciple made a great contribution, even if they had to go to the Merit Court to exchange for a cultivation method or magic tool, they would still have to do something about it. Even if it was a true disciple, if there was the slightest bit of disrespect, they wouldn't be nice to them, and there was no reason for them to personally hand over the cultivation method.
But this time, because the Sect Leader specially reminded them not to leak the matter of the cultivation method, they could only choose an Elder to come here.
Zhang Yan had already received the flying sword message earlier, so he was already waiting in the cave residence. When the person stepped into the main hall, he unexpectedly discovered that this person was actually an old acquaintance. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I was wondering who it was, so it's Elder Gong. Please take a seat."
Elder Gong laughed heartily and strode over, raising his hands to return the greeting, saying, "Junior Brother Zhang, no need to be so polite, no need to be so polite."
Zhang Yan took a look at him. After not seeing him for a long time, this Elder's face was glowing, and his hair that was half black and half white seemed to have been dyed with a layer of oil wax. His spirit was so good that it couldn't be any better.
After Zhang Yan greatly swept the face of the Celestial Sect of Xuan Family at the Pill Grading Assembly, Elder Gong released all the anger that he had accumulated for over a hundred years. He gained a lot of face, and his chest was incomparably comfortable. Therefore, after he learned of this matter, he took the initiative to volunteer and wanted to personally deliver the cultivation method bestowed by the sect into Zhang Yan's hands.
The two of them exchanged greetings and sat down. Elder Gong said with a smile, "In the sect, there are five techniques and three scriptures, a total of eight cultivation methods. In my opinion, the cultivation method that I'm giving to Junior Brother is profound and difficult. Since the founding of the Qincang School, very few people have cultivated it. However, the Sect Leader has his own considerations, so it's not up to this half-dead old man like me to interfere. However, in cultivation, if there's anything you don't understand, you can go to the Little Cold Realm. You'll gain something there."
Zhang Yan said thoughtfully, "Little Cold World?
Elder Gong's expression was serious. He nodded and said, "That's right, the Little Cold World!"
In Qincang School, other than the Great Lake of Longyuan, there were several other Small World Abodes that had been opened up by the Great Sage of the past, and this Small Cold World was one of them.
This was the place where the disciples of past generations died.
When a cultivator's cultivation reaches a certain level, or when they feel that their lifespan is running out, and they attempt to break through, they can enter this place to cultivate.
There was an unwritten rule in the Little Cold Realm. If one wanted to comprehend the cultivation method of one's own sect in the realm, he or she had to write down his or her experience of cultivation in his or her abode of abode and engrave it into words so that later generations could refer to it in detail.
Elder Gong saw that this cultivation method was extremely difficult to practice, so he specifically told Zhang Yan that if he really had no clue, he could go to the Little Cold Realm to look for the words left behind by the ancestors. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it would at least be of some help.
Zhang Yan thought about it and understood that this elder had good intentions. He stood up and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for your advice, Elder Gong."
"Not at all, not at all."
Elder Gong also stood up with a smile. Zhang Yan was humble and polite. After his Dan reached the first grade, he didn't have any arrogance at all. This was very much to Elder Gong's liking. What he hated the most in his life was the arrogant attitude of the disciples of the Xuanmen aristocratic families.
He reached into his sleeve and took out a talisman. He handed it to Zhang Yan and said warmly, "Elder Yuan, who guards the Little Cold Realm, has some friendship with me. If you have any questions, you can bring this talisman to me at any time. I will take you to see him."
Zhang Yan accepted it generously and cupped his hands in respect. He smiled and said, "I dare not refuse an elder's gift. If I have time tomorrow, I will pay a visit to Elder Gong."
Elder Gong laughed heartily again and said, "Good, good. Although there are no beautiful concubines in my humble abode, there are many spiritual fruits and fine wine. It is tasteless for me to drink alone. If you can come, I will open the door to welcome you."
After chatting with Zhang Yan for a while, Elder Gong made an excuse to leave the jade box on the table with the excuse that he had something to do. He then took his leave.
After Elder Gong left, Zhang Yan sat for a while and then picked up the jade box. He pinched his fingers and activated a spell. The array door in front of him immediately changed and revealed a square door. He stood up and took a step forward, landing in the main residence.
He sat cross-legged on the jade couch and took the jade box in front of him. He opened the lid and revealed a jade scroll on the bright red silk.
He smiled faintly and reached out to hold the item in his hand. With a slight urge, his Spiritual Qi probed into it. With just a turn, it turned into a glittering golden talisman and jumped into the space between his eyebrows. In an instant, countless talisman characters flashed through his mind.
This cultivation method was called "Nine Numbers Taishi Spiritual Treasure Mystic True Scripture". It was one of the Five Skills and Three Scriptures in Qincang School.
The "Five Skills" in the Five Skills and Three Scriptures corresponded to the five elements. Some of the disciples in the school focused on one, while others focused on the other.
The "Three Scriptures" didn't focus on the elements and could be learned by anyone. For example, "Thousand Cloud Sword Scripture" was a method that focused on the Sword Dao. How to control the body's Dharma Power was all for the sake of the sword.
This' Nine Primordial Numinous Treasure Mystic True Scripture 'was passed down by the founder of the Dark Azure Sect. It was one of the few superior techniques that could deduce the' True Seal of Dharmic Power 'and the Great Dao Mystic Art on its own.
After a cultivator reached the Core Formation stage, the first step was to devour the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of all living things, and the Earth Vein Evil Spirit to refine the power of the Core until it couldn't grow anymore. At this time, one needed to break through the "Shell Barrier" and step into the second realm.
After reaching this realm, one needed to condense the "Dharma Power True Seal".
This seal was the key for a cultivator to form the Nascent Soul in the future. If the power of the Core wasn't enough, the aura would disperse and it wouldn't be enough to stabilize the True Seal.
This was also why it was impossible for the disciples of the lower three ranks to advance further in their lives.
Condensing the Dharma Power True Seal was originally a big difficulty, but if a sect had been passed down for thousands of years and the master and disciple had the same cultivation method, then the elder could pass a "True Seal Seed" to the junior disciple. The disciple could use this to condense the Dharma Power and save a lot of time.
However, because this "True Seal Seed" was given by the elder, it couldn't be completely compatible with the disciple. Therefore, after the disciple's Dharma Power was stable, he still needed to adjust his Qi and slowly dissolve the elder's True Seal.
During this process, if the Pill Evil Spirit contained in the True Seal couldn't be completely converted into his own, it would cause the Pill Evil Spirit to leak out.
This was also the reason why when Zhang Yan met Elder Xun on Ying Luo Island, Elder Xun's movements seemed to shake the mountains and the earth as he walked. This was because he was dispersing the baleful aura that he could not absorb into his body.
However, the Celestial Sect was different. The elders and the disciples of the younger generation were connected by blood. If the cultivation method was the same, and the quality of the pill was similar, then the True Seal Seed that was passed down would be almost perfect. The amount of Evil Spirit wasted would naturally be less, and as a result, their future achievements would be higher.
In this aspect, the Celestial Sect was slightly better than the master and disciple.
As for Zhang Yan, when he reached the first grade of the pill, there was almost no one who could help him, so he could only rely on himself to condense the True Seal of Fa Li. As soon as he returned to the sect, he set his sights on this "Nine Primal Beginning Spiritual Treasure Mysterious Scripture".
What Zhang Yan was most afraid of was not having a clue when he was cultivating and not knowing where to start. However, with this cultivation method, he could point out the direction of the Great Dao, knowing where the road under his feet came from and where he had to go.
It was such a simple step, but the result was like heaven and earth.
The reason why there were so few people who practiced this cultivation method was because it was not easy to practice. Those who practiced this method needed to be able to deduce the Eroded Runes and explain the principles. However, there were many who understood the Eroded Runes in the world, but those who were truly proficient in it and were willing to immerse themselves in it were few and far between. As a result, many people died at this stage.
However, this was only the first step. The second step was to deduce how to condense the True Seal of Fa Li. This process would take an unknown amount of time, especially if one took the wrong path, then all the previous efforts would be wasted, and one would need to start all over again. If one's luck was bad, then even if they practiced until they died of old age, they might not be able to master it.
As a result, apart from those with great willpower, perseverance, and wisdom, most people stopped in front of this scripture.
However, Zhang Yan was not afraid. With this cultivation method to point out the path and a clear direction, he could use the broken jade to deduce the minor details. The two complemented each other and complemented each other. It was as if it was tailor-made for him.
However, right now, what he needed to solve the most was the "Shell Barrier." This was the barrier that prevented Core Transformation cultivators from achieving the Great Dao.
The higher the rank of a Core Transformation cultivator, the more solid this barrier was, and the more difficult it was to break through.
Normally, it was the easiest for a Core Transformation cultivator to break through this barrier. However, they would be stuck on the True Seal of Fa Li. Therefore, even if they managed to break through, it would be useless. For the rest of their lives, they would linger at the second tier of Core Transformation and would never be able to advance.
The middle three grades were slightly more difficult, and the upper three grades were the most difficult to achieve. Zhang Yan becoming a first grade pill was naturally even more difficult. This was also the wonder of the creation of all things. The world had its own destiny, and there was nothing perfect and flawless in this world.
However, if he could break through and break through the shackles of this world, then his future achievements would be far above others.
Zhang Yan smiled confidently. In his heart, however, a feeling of 'if I can't do it, who else can?
Now that he had the "Nine Primordial Spiritual Treasures Mystic True Scripture" and the broken jade in his hand, if even he could not find the way to break through the "Shell Barrier," then no one in this world could succeed.
At this moment, the small mirror in the pot shook, and a voice came out. "Master, outside the mountain gate, there is a cultivator who claims to be from the Northstar Sect. He wants to see you."
"Northstar Sect?"
Zhang Yan waved his hand, and the figure of the person appeared on the mirror.
He took a look and saw that the cultivator was about 30 years old with a short beard. He was standing patiently in front of the mountain gate, and behind him were dozens of people. They were either female servants or strong men. He smiled. "So it's Yan Zhenping, Fellow Cultivator Yan. Mirror Spirit, invite him into the main hall. Order Shang Shang to greet him first. I will meet him later."
