His next target was the Wind Ao Tower, the Tower of Escape Techniques. To him, the passion for speed was ingrained in his bones! Even the choice of techniques was based on speed. Of course, he had to come here to see if there was anything special!
In one day, Lou Xiaoyi was in a dilemma. He was drifting between the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Starlight Technique.
The essence of heaven and earth was the Five Elements! The essence of flying was how to overcome the resistance of the Five Elements! The essence of the Five Elements Escape Technique was how to integrate the cultivator into the environment of the Five Elements, turning resistance into assistance!
This was the strength of the Five Elements Escape Technique. Furthermore, cultivating the Five Elements Escape Technique could be based on the foundation of the Five Elements. It was not as simple as just one escape technique!
The Starlight Technique was much simpler. In short, he liked it!
He sighed. Since he was sentimental once, he might as well stay sentimental until the end!
In order to prevent himself from biting off more than he could chew, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect limited their disciples to nine secret techniques. He already had one of the three secret techniques. He had only chosen one of the three secret techniques. However, he could not bring the remaining secret techniques to other areas. He could only leave it empty for now!
This meant that in the remaining Cloud Ao Tower and Mountain Ao Tower, he could still choose four secret techniques!
From his perspective, the secret techniques could also determine victory or defeat. When fighting with others, it was never a simple thing. Swordsmanship was very important, but it was only the main part. There were many other things!
In his life of fighting, almost all of his opponents were stronger than him. But so what? Didn't they all die in his hands in the end?
Hence, he did not feel that giving up on swordsmanship was the same as giving up on combat power. In terms of secret techniques, he could still make up for it!
He placed his hopes on secret techniques. This was because in Xuanyuan's external swordsmanship, secret techniques were the most common. Furthermore, many of the secret techniques were above Xuanyuan's direct techniques!
This was not an area that a cold-blooded Swordsman like Xuanyuan was good at. The ancestors of Swordsman in this area were orthodox Taoists. Therefore, the strange things that Swordsman brought back through other channels were often more awesome, novel, and imaginative than Xuanyuan's own.
Actions could solidify one's thinking. Swordsman's way of thinking had been fixed for thousands of years. Directness, speed, and sharpness had become their motto in battle. It was easy to imagine that Swordsman were trash when it came to dirty tricks, and they were the type that was hopeless.
These were not his own thoughts, but Gu Bei had told him. However, it was a warning, warning him not to spend too much time on these deviant aspects. Lou Xiaoyi's current thoughts were the exact opposite of what he had said.
The Cloud Turtle Building was also the last building that Lou Xiaoyi needed to enter now. After that, he did not have the qualifications to enter the Golden Elixir Building and the Mysterious Building. The Miscellaneous Building and the Opponent Building were not what he urgently needed now.
The cultivators in Cloud Turtle Tower were second only to Sword Turtle Tower. Everyone was not stupid. Lou Xiaoyi was not the only one who understood the meaning of secret techniques. It was just that everyone had different directions!
Lou Xiaoyi went straight for the detection techniques. His strength was not as good as his senses. If he could not beat him, he could just hide. The prerequisite was that he had to discover his opponent first!
This was not to be taken for granted. Because his spiritual power was different from ordinary people, he actually had an advantage in terms of divine sense. What he needed to do now was to make up for his shortcomings in other areas.
Divine sense was very important, but it could not cover everything. Especially after the opponent had deliberately concealed themselves, the cultivator needed to form a strong field of perception in other areas to make up for the shortcomings.
His problem was that other than divine sense, there were five other types of senses. However, he only had four choices. Therefore, he could not find individual detection techniques. He had to find a systematic detection technique that included all six senses. If he chose this, the range would be much smaller.
Finally, he found a technique that was somewhat related to Buddhism. Ah Bi's Advancement of Six Senses.
In the cultivation world, Taoism and Buddhism were not completely separated. Many things were connected. Under the same sky, how could there be completely opposite positions of cultivation? In many aspects, it was just a different soup but not the same medicine.
Buddhism had many things that were unique. Among them, the elaboration of the six senses was the creation of Buddhism. In this aspect, Taoism did not see it as a heresy. They often used it as a reference. For this thing to be placed here openly for people to choose, it actually represented Xuanyuan.
Of course, Lou Xiaoyi chose it because this secret technique was equivalent to six. It was very worth it!
The remaining directions were a little vague and uncertain. Should he start over in an unfamiliar direction or continue to strengthen in the direction he was good at? It was a headache!
There were more than four thousand techniques in Cloud Turtle Brothel. He decided to be presumptuous this time and look through them thoroughly. He quickly browsed through the introductions and strived to not miss anything that was useful to him.
He was not the only one who did this. This was because it was very difficult to have a fixed system for subsidy methods. They were often unconstrained. Everyone's method was the same. One by one!
They would always find something that they liked!
Lou Xiaoyi did not even exclude the Dao of Pills, Talismans, and Medicine. He was very repulsed by these things that could form their own Dao. In terms of depth, Xuanyuan's things were mostly superficial. They could not be compared to those orthodox Taoism. Gu Bei also admitted this.
However, there could be unexpected surprises within.
Most of the cultivators here were in the same situation as him. They quickly picked up an introductory book and skimmed through it. They put it down and picked up the next book. Then, they slowly moved forward in an orderly manner. They did not interfere with each other. If they fancied something, they would just memorize it in their hearts. After going through all of them, they would study it again.
They went from the first floor to the fifth floor, then from the fifth floor to the first floor. They chose close to a hundred targets and carefully studied their uses, origins, and effects.
This method of choosing techniques was very painful for cultivators. It was far from having a master to guide them in the right direction. However, compared to the long lifespan of a cultivator, this delay was nothing!
Xuanyuan had always insisted on using this clumsy and troublesome method. It was also easy to make mistakes. He had his own deep considerations!
There was an advantage to using this method. Every Swordsman's choice was different. Their future achievements would also be different. This could ensure that the entire sect would flourish. This method was the best choice for a sect, but it might not be the same for an individual. This was because there would always be people who would take the wrong path when making a choice!
Sacrificing a portion of the cultivators' future to ensure that the sect would be full of vitality on the path of Dao sounded cruel. However, this was also the norm in the cultivation world. This was the power of a sect. It was a place where adults fought against the heavens. It was not a kindergarten!
No one could guarantee anything!
