Chapter 340: Chapter 339: Ancient Immortal’s Technique_1
Actually, it wasn’t that Lu Yang was incapable, but devising a cultivation technique at the Foundation Establishment Stage is truly a tall order. With insufficient experience and knowledge, how could he create a cultivation technique?
Not to mention Lu Yang himself being unable to accomplish this, even Fairy Eternity would find it impossible.
While walking towards the Scripture Pavilion, Lu Yang casually asked, “What cultivation technique did you practice initially, Fairy?”
“The Profound Technique. A very common technique, but quite suitable for me at the time. It was through this technique that I cultivated to the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. When I noticed that this technique had its limits and could not lead one to become an immortal, I had a revelation and deduced the Immortal Technique. I swapped techniques, and subsequently achieved immortality.”
“When you reach the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, you’ll realize that the limits of every cultivation technique are at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. After all, the limits of sentient beings lie at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage. Becoming immortal is in defiance of the natural order. Only by breaking the limits can one become immortal, hence previous methodologies cannot be applied. If one wishes to achieve immortality, they must formulate their own cultivation technique based on personal comprehension and their own distinctive circumstances.”
“This was the case for me, as well as for Immortal Jiuchong, Ying Tian Immortal, and the rest of them.”
“However, I encountered difficulties when I was writing my technique, and my progress was slower, so I was the last to achieve immortality.”
“I thought you would name your technique ‘The Invincible Immortal Technique.'” Lu Yang muttered teasingly.
Fairy Eternity waved her hand, acting generously, “Absolutely not. That’s Ying Tian Immortal’s technique. I can’t occupy his spot.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Ying Tian Immortal, what’s going on with you? Have you been assimilated by Fairy Eternity?
It seemed that compared to Immortal Jiuchong’s ‘The Immortal Skill of Chaotic One Energy, Two Instruments, Four Images, Six Unions, Eight Desolations, Nine Lands, Ten Heavens, and Only I Am Supreme’, and Ying Tian Immortal’s ‘Invincible Immortal Technique’, the technique devised by Fairy Eternity had the most sober title.
Of course, it could also be that Fairy Eternity lacked a sophisticated linguistic culture. In consideration of her Dao Fruit of Eternity, she named her technique ‘Immortal Technique.’
“What’s Qilin Immortal’s technique called?”
“The Even More Invincible Technique.”
“Actually, I contemplated that name for myself as well, but Qilin Immortal beat me to it and stole my potential title.”
Considering the constant arguments between Qilin Immortal and Ying Tian Immortal over who had a closer relationship with the heavens, his choice of name was somewhat justifiable… Lu Yang tried his best to appease Qilin Immortal.
“What’s Time Immortal’s technique called?”
“The Everlasting Green Technique.”
Lu Yang gasped. As expected of Time Immortal, who was the oldest amongst them. His naming skills were far superior to the other three, including Fairy Eternity.
Fairy Eternity shook her head, “I believe Time Immortal has the worst naming sense. It closely resembles those street level techniques.”
“Those in the ‘merge with one another’ and transcendent stages dwell in ‘The Undying and Indestructible Sutra’, ‘Heaven Derivation Taoist Manual’ and ‘Five Elements Rotation Technique’, with Time Immortal’s technique blending in without a trace. Which one of them sounds like an immortal technique?”
Lu Yang thought to himself, as it turned out, they had disparaged the naming skills of Time Immortal due to their own deficient technique-naming abilities.
Wait a minute, Ying Tian Immortal is a face-saving immortal. How could he come up with such a name?
“Does Ying Tian Immortal have other names for his technique?”
“Yes, he calls his own technique the ‘Innate Ultimate Immortal Technique’ when introducing it to others.”
As he discovered the ancient secrets, Lu Yang entered the Scripture Pavilion.
The first thing upon entering the Scripture Pavilion was to seek out the book that contained the experiences of his senior brothers and sisters in the Golden Core Stage.
It was time to input his own Golden Core knowledge.
“Lu Yang, Invincible Elixir, First-Grade Golden Core. Those who follow this guide can understand the strong and the weak, generate invincibility within their hearts, feel that they can conquer any obstacle, win all battles, and become invincible in the world.”
Lu Yang originally wanted to trust Fairy Eternity’s instigation and add the phrase “This is the supreme Golden Core in the world” but given that Eldest Senior Sister’s Golden Core was at the forefront, he decided to not do so.
“Practice Method: Challenge across levels, be undefeated in hundreds of battles, create an invincible momentum, draw upon the momentum, consolidate the Qi of the Dantian, only then can one form the Core.”
“Notice 1: Challenging across levels means challenging one level higher, not one level lower.”
“Notice 2: This Golden Core may lead to overconfidence.”
“Notice 3: The name of the Golden Core is for reference only. The actual combat effect is what really matters.”
“Done!” Lu Yang closed the book with satisfaction.
“Let’s check out the techniques at the Golden Core Stage,” Lu Yang walked towards the second floor.
The first floor had books for the public as well as the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Stages of all major techniques.
The continuation of the techniques and the ones for the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stages were on the second floor.
“Mortal World Heavenly Technique”, live in reality but your heart stays in tranquility. Only by fully experiencing the suffering and desires of the human world can one have a breakthrough and transform the Core into an Infant.”
“I never expected to see this technique first.”
“Have you seen it before?” Fairy Eternity’s era didn’t have concepts like worldly cultivation or hermit cultivation.
“Eldest Senior Sister told me about it. Didn’t we used to see many old beggars on the streets of Great Xia? A lot of cultivators who practiced this technique will disguise themselves as old beggars and blend in. After all, being a beggar is the most efficient way to experience the suffering in the world.”
“Used to? It isn’t the same now?” Fairy Eternity saw the key point.
Lu Yang rolled his eyes, “With the development of Great Xia, the increase in grain production, and the establishment of welfare facilities, there are no beggars anymore. Now every old beggar you see on the streets is at the Golden Core Stage.”
“I estimate that it won’t be long before these Golden Core Stage people will need to find a new way to experience the secular world.”
“Eldest Senior Sister said that the court is preparing to open a few mines, and let these Golden Core Stage cultivators work in there.”
Fairy Eternity: “…”
“Hundred Flowers Technique”. For each stage, collect thirty-three different kinds of rare flowers and when one has reached the Consummation of the Golden Core Stage, combine the ninety-nine kinds of rare flowers into a single bud. When the bud blooms, it will be the time for breaking the Core and reaching Nascent. Many female cultivators like this technique. It’s simple to learn, highly aesthetic.”
“However, as this technique became popular, a few types of the rare flowers have been picked to near extinction. Only one person had the last few flowers. He held an auction and sold the last few flowers for a sky-high price.”
“After some time, he said he still had a few flowers and wanted to hold another auction.”
“Then it happened again.”
“People later found out that he was the author of this technique. He had collected all the types of flowers in advance. He would release a few every once in a while just to make money.”
“Sword Path Truth. This is the technique our master practiced. Like the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Stages, there are no bottlenecks to this technique as long as one continues to observe swordsmanship. It’s the most suitable technique for us of the Sword Spirit Root lineage.”
“I initially wanted to directly cultivate this technique as well, but unfortunately, only one person in the world can practice this technique. If the master is practicing it, I can’t.”
Fairy Eternity seemed to be deep in thought. Her observations of Daoist Buyu’s grasp of swordsmanship didn’t seem like it could stop at the door of the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.
