Since he began his cultivation journey, Ling Xian has seen far too many powerful techniques. He has even seen many forbidden techniques used by those who achieved Taoism.
However, there were very few techniques that could tempt him.
The Seal of Nine Wonders was, without a doubt, one of them.
This technique was far too mysterious and far too powerful. Even though it could only trigger the Soul Shaking Technique and the Body Splitting Technique, it could still be considered a forbidden technique.
This was why Ling Xian wanted the Seal of Nine Wonders.
"Tell me what you want first. As long as it's not too much, I will agree to it." The Red Haired Elder stroked his beard and smiled.
"I want the Seal of Nine Wonders." Ling Xian grinned. This technique was extremely mysterious, who wouldn't be tempted?
"I …" The Red Haired Elder frowned. The Seal of Nine Wonders was a secret technique of the Wan Sheng House. Only the Supreme Headmaster's descendants had the right to learn it.
"I am not asking for it for free."
Seeing that the Red Haired Elder was troubled, Ling Xian softly chuckled, "I will trade for it with a cosmic technique."
Hearing this, the Red Haired Elder's eyes brightened, "What cosmic technique?"
"The Technique of San Qing. If you teach me the Seal of Nine Wonders, I will give this technique to you."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. Ever since he started cultivating, he had acquired three cosmic techniques. The first was primitive, the second was Sanqing, and the third was fortune.
To him, the Technique of San Qing wasn't very useful, so exchanging it for the Seal of Nine Wonders was, without a doubt, a good deal.
"Are you serious?" The Red Haired Elder's eyes were heated. Any cosmic technique was priceless. Of course he was tempted.
"Of course." Ling Xian smiled. To him, the Technique of San Qing wasn't very useful. It was far less useful than the Seal of Nine Wonders.
"Okay, I promise you."
The Red Haired Elder revealed a smile, "But I have to remind you that the Seal of Nine Wonders is extremely difficult to cultivate. If you aren't careful, you will die."
Then, he wiped off his smile and sighed, "Back then, to cultivate this technique, my life was hanging by a thread multiple times. If I wasn't lucky, my soul would've been destroyed a long time ago."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. The Red Haired Elder wasn't a Heaven's Favorite, but he was a genius. Even he was on the verge of death multiple times. It wasn't hard to imagine how dangerous the Seal of Nine Wonders was.
"Instead of saying that the Nine Profundity Seal is a single Divine Ability, it can be said to be nine types. Because this technique possesses nine types of might, and it has to be cultivated separately."
"For example, the first power, Soul Shaker."
"When cultivating, your soul will be split into two, and the pain will be unbearable. If you can fuse them together, you will have cultivated the ability to shake the soul."
The red-haired old man's expression was solemn as he said, "The second power is Body Splitting. When cultivating it, your body will split into pieces. Only by enduring for six hours can you successfully cultivate it."
Pausing, he continued, "The third power is the Forbidden Technique. When you cultivate it, your spiritual energy will be sealed. Only by breaking through the seal can you cultivate the Forbidden Technique."
"No wonder you said that if I am not careful, I will die." Ling Xian frowned. Ignoring the last six powers, the first three alone were extremely dangerous.
"Throughout the ages, the number of people who have cultivated this technique are as many as the hairs on a cow. However, only the creator managed to cultivate all nine types of power."
"The rest, at most, have five types of powers."
The red-haired old man exclaimed, "This technique is far too difficult to cultivate. I won't lie to you, even if I become a Nearer Cultivator, I have no confidence in cultivating the sixth power."
"No wonder you can only summon five types of power despite being a Venerable." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. He didn't think that cultivating the Seal of Nine Wonders would be so dangerous.
However, he wasn't afraid.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had encountered countless dangers. Why would he be afraid of a technique?
Ling Xian faintly smiled, "No worries, I have confidence."
"Then I won't say more."
The red-haired old man's expression was serious as he said in a low voice, "Be careful. If you can't do it, don't force yourself."
"I understand. Give me the method to cultivate the Seal of Nine Wonders."
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. Though he didn't know what the last six powers of the Seal of Nine Wonders were, he could tell from the first three that they were extremely powerful.
"Empty your mind." The red-haired old man's expression was serious. He pointed out a finger and light swirled.
Instantly, the method to cultivate the Seal of Nine Wonders entered Ling Xian's brain. It was profound and mysterious, making him exclaim in shock. At the same time, he was confused.
This was all because he could only see the methods to cultivate the first three types of power.
Ling Xian asked, "Why can't I see the methods to cultivate the last six?"
"The creator set up a restriction. Only by cultivating the first three powers would one be able to see the cultivation method for the last six powers."
The red-haired old man smiled, "This is to protect the cultivator. Because if one cannot cultivate the first three, cultivating the last six will only result in death."
"I see." Ling Xian had a realization. He now knew that the last six were extremely dangerous. Or else the creator wouldn't have set up a restriction.
Thus, he smiled, "I will pass on the Technique of Three Clearnesses to you right now."
Hearing this, the red-haired old man closed his eyes and emptied his mind.
At this, Ling Xian pointed out a finger and imprinted the Technique of Three Clearnesses into the red-haired old man's brain.
After some time, the red-haired old man opened his eyes. There was shock and joy in his eyes, "It truly is a cosmic technique. It sure is mysterious."
"As long as you are satisfied." Ling Xian smiled, very satisfied with this trade.
To trade the Technique of Three Clearnesses, which was useless to him, for the powerful Seal of the Nine Mysteries, it couldn't be more worth it.
"Haha, of course I am satisfied."
The red-haired old man laughed brightly, "Why don't you cultivate the Soul Shaker now? Though this is the first ability, it is much harder to cultivate than the third."
"Splitting the soul is far too dangerous. If you aren't careful, your soul will be destroyed."
"With me by your side, even if an accident happens, I can protect you from dying." The red-haired old man smiled.
"Alright." Ling Xian grinned. To him, the Soul Shaker was the easiest to cultivate.
Because his soul had an undying quality, the Seal of the Nine Mysteries could not affect it. Naturally, it was easy to cultivate.
However, the red-haired old man had good intentions, so Ling Xian didn't decline.
Thus, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate the first ability of the Seal of the Nine Mysteries, the Soul Shaker.
Immediately, a mysterious force descended and attempted to split his soul into two.
Sadly, Ling Xian's soul was indestructible. No matter how the mysterious force attacked, it couldn't move him at all.
"It looks like I have to split my soul into two." Ling Xian's gaze was deep. If he relied on the mysterious force, he wouldn't be able to split his soul even after a hundred years.
Thus, he split his soul into two and bathed in the mysterious force.
If this was anyone else, they would be in unbearable pain. But Ling Xian's soul was far too sturdy. The mysterious force couldn't even break it, so how could he feel pain?
"Strange, why is his expression calm and unmoved?" The red-haired old man didn't understand. He clearly remembered that when he was cultivating the Soul Shaker, he was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
Yet Ling Xian's expression was normal. This was far too strange.
Just as the red-haired old man was confused, Ling Xian opened his eyes and revealed a happy smile.
After splitting his soul, he merged them back into one. Then, he successfully cultivated the first ability of the Seal of the Nine Mysteries, the Soul Shaker.
"Why aren't you cultivating anymore?" The red-haired old man was a little startled.
"I have already mastered it." Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. He had already mastered the Soul Shaker, why would he continue?
"What did you say?" The red-haired old man was stunned, wondering if he heard wrong.
