Lou Xiaoyi once again arrived at the foot of the Thousandfold Peak. He had already lost count of the number of times he had been to this place, but his mood was different now. There was no impatience, no anticipation. It was just a normal day, as if he was just passing by and casually flipping through any books he liked.
Every time he came, he would wander around the first few floors of the Boao Pavilion, but this time, he would step onto the eighth floor, the Red Turtle Pavilion!
This was a pavilion that completely belonged to the Jin Dan. Regardless of martial arts or sword techniques, everything was in this pavilion. It could also be seen that the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the fewer things they could choose to learn. Even at the level of a True Lord, there were very few things they could learn. As for the level of a Half Immortal and above, it was completely up to them to figure things out on their own. There was no framework to speak of.
Of course, this did not mean that one could disdain to learn things from other pavilions after reaching the Jin Dan Pavilion. There were many unorthodox things that Jin Dan Swordsman would often stop at.
The Red Turtle Pavilion was completely covered by a spell formation. If one was not a Jin Dan Cultivator or above, one would not be able to enter at all. There were also no cultivators who would purposely lead the way here. It was all based on one's own preferences, and there was no limit to the number of people who could enter.
If one were to compare the path of a cultivator to a person's life, then the Jin Dan Cultivators were already adults. They had the ability to choose, and knew what to do and what not to do.
Lou Xiaoyi entered the pavilion using the talisman. At the same time, the spell formation automatically scanned his cultivation level. It was much stricter than the other Boao Pavilions of the Foundation Establishment Stage. One could already come into contact with the real core of the Sword Vein here, and it was not a place that could be easily accessed. Even though Lou Xiaoyi did not see anyone monitoring him, he felt that there would definitely be.
It was a bit like when he first entered the Boao Tower. But now, he was not as helpless as he was when he was young. After nearly two hundred years of cultivation, he clearly knew what he needed. He could also see through the foundation of these skills and whether they were suitable for him or not.
First was the cultivation method. There was nothing to hesitate about. When he built his foundation, he took the Foundation Building chapter of the Big Dipper Scripture. Now, he took the entire Big Dipper Scripture, including the Yuanying chapter and the Zhenjun chapter. When a cultivator reached Jin Dan, their lifespan would increase by four to six hundred years. The risk of entering and exiting places would no longer be comparable to that of a Foundation Building cultivator. Therefore, he took the entire Big Dipper Scripture just in case he couldn't return to the mountain gate due to an accident, so he wouldn't stop learning.
Needless to say, the main cultivation method was still the Big Dipper Scripture. However, when cultivators reached the Jin Dan Realm, a portion of outstanding cultivators would choose the second cultivation method. This was very beneficial to a cultivator's future cultivation and battle. It was beneficial for broadening one's horizons and enriching one's battle tactics. Lou Xiaoyi also had such thoughts. However, this required him to consolidate his realm and find a suitable opportunity.
Regarding the escape technique, the Star Escape Technique did not require him to learn any new techniques. This was in fact an infinite escape technique. It only depended on the cultivator's comprehension of the number of stars in the universe. There was once a rumor that if a cultivator could comprehend more than half of the main stars in the universe, he could even complete teleportation within the boundaries of the universe, as long as his body could withstand it.
Of course, to achieve this, one could only do so after becoming a Zhenjun. Firstly, the body's mana, and secondly, the brain's capacity. Billions of stars had to be engraved in his mind to form a star chart that resonated with reality. His current small brain could not hold it all!
However, he still chose the second escape technique – the Five Elements Escape Technique! This was because this was the guarantee that a cultivator would not be at a disadvantage when using the escape technique in a special environment! When a cultivator was in water, rock, fire, or any other special environment, even the Astral Evasive Art would be greatly restricted!
The most suitable place for the Star Escape Technique was the void of the universe. It was also the main stage for future cultivators when they reached the level of Yuanying. However, no one could guarantee that they would not be forced into a special environment at a certain time and place. This was the value of the Five Elements Escape Technique!
Physical techniques were not his weak point, but it was also far from his strong point. Under normal circumstances, he would not be at a disadvantage in terms of physical contact, but he had never taken advantage of others physically. At the Cliff of Fish Leaping, this situation was very obvious. He had also thought about whether he should change to a physical technique that was more beneficial for battle!
In the cultivation world, there were countless superior physical techniques. For example, the Zi Wei Celestial Body could only be said to be a superior balanced physical technique. It was unlike some physical techniques that had unique superpowers in certain aspects and could even produce supernatural powers! It could form a more three-dimensional, more comprehensive, and more sudden attack ability. In the Red Turtle Tower, there were also a few physical techniques with strong combat abilities. For example, the Nine Transformation Technique. Every transformation had a chance to obtain a supernatural power …
In the end, he rejected this change and continued with the Star Body Technique! In his judgment, the Zi Wei Celestial Body did not only give him pure physical strength, but it was also the cornerstone of the entire Star System! The advancement of his main technique, the cultivation of his spiritual power, and even the characteristics of the Jin Dan were all closely related to the Star System!
The most important thing for a cultivator's cultivation was the system. It was not to find some techniques that were unique in all aspects and randomly pile them together. If it was done this way, the various techniques of different systems would only affect each other and would not be able to display their own characteristics. It would even cause an irreversible impact on the direction of the cultivator's cultivation!
It was not like his current system, which was a perfect fusion of water and milk, which could achieve an effect of one plus one greater than two in every direction!
For this reason, he chose the advanced version of the Zi Wei Celestial Body, the Seven Stars Shine Together! In the future, if he was lucky enough to reach the Nascent Soul stage, there would be an even higher version, the North Star Arch, and even higher version, the Big Dipper Shift!
He hoped that this would become the cornerstone of his entire cultivation system!
As for the subsidies, he only chose three: Shapeshifting, Unexpected Problems, and Diabolo!
Shapeshifting was not a transformation technique, such as thirty-six changes, seventy-two changes, and so on. After considering that the cultivator had reached the Jin Dan, his ability to create enchantments would greatly increase. In battle, in addition to using the flying sword to cut a way out, he would also need a way to escape in an instant. Shapeshifting was the main technique, which was used in conjunction with the flying sword to escape. As long as the flying sword could pass through, the cultivator could also use Shapeshifting to escape!
Unexpected Problems was another close combat technique, which had the huge effect of teleportation in battle. Not only could it be used to get close to the opponent, but it could also be used to instantly adjust the battle situation of both sides. Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Ruler alone was not enough, and it was easy to be targeted like in the Fish Leap. Unexpected Problems was another method, which was completely different. It complemented the Heavenly Sword Ruler to form a system.
For a Swordsman, if he wanted to achieve the tactical characteristics of Sword Manipulation, he would never complain about having too many escape techniques and body movements. The guiding of the stars was the basic, but he still needed to add some special methods to achieve the true power of Sword Manipulation!
Diabolo was a technique similar to death substitution, but it was different from the talisman used by a spell cultivator. Swordsman were more used to using a sword as a substitute!
The prerequisite was that he had to first cultivate a flying sword as a substitute. The requirements were quite high, and it was something that could only be cultivated after at least ten years. However, the advantage was that it was not a one-time consumable, but could be accompanied by the growth of the cultivator.
There were always accidents, so he had to be careful!
