The black-robed man stooped. He waved his hand and threw a talisman to Dongbo Xue Ying: "Refine this talisman. Only you can use it. When you kill enough higher-ups of the Ancient Sacred Religion, you can activate the talisman within the Nine Cloud Great Land and be teleported to this palace. You can then ask me for treasures of corresponding value."
Dongbo Xue Ying received it and immediately refined it.
"Follow me." The black-robed man turned around and walked deeper into the palace along the corridor. Dongbo Xue Ying followed behind.
They arrived at a hidden staircase in the palace. They walked down the staircase and finally entered a hidden cultivation room.
"This is the cultivation room that Master uses."
The black-robed man entered the cultivation room. Dongbo Xue Ying followed behind.
With a glance, the cultivation room was huge. It was comparable to the Great Void Heaven Temple's Myriad Elephant Palace Hall. At the frontmost part of the cultivation room, there were many bookshelves. The bookshelves were filled with large amounts of original books. The bookshelves occupied about 30% of the entire cultivation room.
Behind him, it was empty.
There was only a praying mat placed on the ground.
"The bookshelves are filled with books that Master has collected and created." The black-robed man pointed to the praying mat, "Master would usually cultivate here."
"You can learn all the books in this cultivation room. If you can learn all of them, you can also impart them if you want." The black-robed man said, "This is a benefit that every 'helper' has. When you are done learning, and you plan to leave, just tell me. I will send you out of this place. "Saying that, the black-robed man turned and walked out.
"I can hear whatever you say in this palace." The black-robed man said before walking out of the cultivation room.
Only Dongbo Xue Ying was left in the cultivation room.
Dongbo Xue Ying did not hesitate to walk towards the bookshelves. He began flipping through these books. These were the crystallization of the wisdom of senior cultivators. Since they could be collected by Emperor Jiuyun, they would definitely not be ordinary.
"Wu?" Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the first book in his hands.
It was an ancient cultivation classic called the Eye of Disintegration.
If an ancient cultivator's awakened talent at the beginning of cultivation was related to the eyes and inclined to attack, they could cultivate in the direction of the Eye of Disintegration. Some ancient cultivators cultivated purely based on luck, and those with powerful legacies would also deliberately guide their own evolution … The 'innate' talent was very important, but the 'acquired' guidance and cultivation were also very important.
This Eye of Unraveling was one of the schools of ancient cultivation at the Cosmos God level.
Both eyes shot out the Light of Disintegration. A single glance was enough to disintegrate an entire cosmos. Even Cosmos Gods did not dare to use their bodies to resist against it.
…
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at it carefully.
Close to half the books here were related to ancient cultivation. At the very least, they could be cultivated to the Primal Chaos realm. Some could be cultivated to the Cosmos God level. In terms of strength, innate talent was very important, and so was acquired cultivation. Both had to be perfect enough to achieve great things in the end. The Sacred Lord was the strongest ancient cultivator.
'Maybe I can cultivate in ancient cultivation too?' Dongbo Xue Ying had read through too many ancient cultivation classics. He could not help but have this thought.
It was normal for experts to cultivate in different cultivation systems.
For instance, the peak of the bloodline cultivation system was the Primal Chaos realm giant. They would definitely have to cultivate in other systems. Usually, those who chose to cultivate in different systems would do their best to make up for their weaknesses.
Dongbo Xue Ying did not think about it in the past. But now that he had gotten his hands on so many ancient cultivation techniques … if he was lucky, he would have a great talent. Hence, it was worth spending his effort.
'I'm not in a rush.'
'Wait till I've settled the matters regarding Jing Qiu and the others. When I have sufficient time and energy, I'll try cultivating again.' Dongbo Xue Ying thought. There were quite a few cultivators in the Great Void Heaven Temple who cultivated in ancient cultivation too. There was no need to talk about True God disciples. Even Primal Chaos realm giants like Inquisitive Sky Hall Master was someone who cultivated in ancient cultivation. Hence, he could easily investigate anything that happened in the endless region and teleport Dongbo Xue Ying to the Nine Cloud Great Land.
This was a talent that leaned towards supporting in ancient cultivation. Nonetheless, it was heaven-defying. After all, the primal chaos void was too vast. The distance from the Seven Star Oceanic Sacred World to the Nine Cloud Great Land was too far. It was hard for Cosmos Gods to rush over, yet Inquisitive Sky Hall Master could easily send others over.
The methods of ancient cultivation were indeed enviable.
*****
After spending half a year, Xue Ying had flipped through all the books. Of which, there were only a few books that were helpful to his current cultivation. After all, at his current realm, it was too difficult to find a book that was similar to his path. But it had broadened his horizons. He even had some conjectures about the reason why he could not display the second style of Dark World, 'Sky Punishment Edge'.
'It should most likely be related to the realm of the heart.' Dongbo Xue Ying guessed.
Because in one of the absolute art books he read, there was a similar description: Third stage: Nirvana Flame. If one had not reached the third realm of the heart, his heart realm would not be sufficient. Even if he comprehended all the bottlenecks, he would still be unable to display the Nirvana Flame. In order to reach the third realm of the heart, one had to carefully comprehend the meaning of Nirvana.
This absolute art had a similar situation. If one's heart realm was not sufficient, one could not display it even if he comprehended it.
Just like how mortals drew, if they did not have a suitable heart realm, they would not be able to produce a painting of a sufficient level.
'But to reach the third realm of the heart …' Dongbo Xue Ying was pondering. He was even pondering over the meaning of Nirvana described in that absolute art.
According to the description in that absolute art.
Only when one had great benevolence and devotion, and was willing to sacrifice for the masses without any distracting thoughts, could one comprehend the meaning of Nirvana amidst the sacrifice, reviving from the dead. This was also the prerequisite for grasping the heart realm of the Nirvana Flame.
Dongbo Xue Ying sat there for a long time to no avail. He could not help but shake his head. This third level of the heart realm could not be forced.
'It's time to leave.'
Dongbo Xue Ying stood up.
Since he had read through all the manuals, it was time for him to leave.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked around the training room, looking at every corner in detail. His gaze also landed on some of the scars on the walls. Many of these scars had stopped halfway through. There was actually not a single finished product!
'Emperor Jiuyun was cultivating here. He should have comprehended something and thus casually drew on the walls.' Dongbo Xue Ying guessed. It was very common for experts to casually draw on the walls of a cultivation ground.
'Some of the truly completed absolute arts should have been written into an ancient book. These incomplete ones were casually left on the walls. '
'Before I leave, I should take a look at these scars once more. Perhaps I might be able to gain something from them.'
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at them carefully.
The more he looked, the more he frowned. Because it was too difficult! Even Emperor Jiuyun had not completed some absolute arts. Naturally, they were extraordinary.
As he looked at the scars, he could occasionally understand some of them, but it was just a superficial understanding.
As Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the scars, he walked along the walls. Suddenly, he came to a corner and looked at the continuous scars on the wall. There were a total of four scars. The first three were complete while the fourth was incomplete. Clearly, this was an incomplete absolute art.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the four scars in front of him.
Weng ~ ~ ~
In front of Dongbo Xue Ying, countless threads appeared, forming a complicated 3D array. Clearly, Dongbo Xue Ying was trying to decipher it.
Dongbo Xue Ying had been calm all this while. But as he continued to study it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
'This, this is …'
Dongbo Xue Ying waved his hand, and the praying mat in the distance flew over to him. He sat down cross-legged and started to study the array. 'This seems to be related to my Voidwalker cultivation system?'
