Chapter 403: Xingling Sect's Cultivation Technique
In Ye Changsheng's eyes, this so-called path of self-examination naturally has no secrets.
A narrow path with a stone gate at the entrance, on which there is some kind of restriction that can detect spiritual roots.
Once someone below the True Spiritual Roots tries to break in, the restriction will be triggered immediately, and they will be punished, either dead or seriously injured.
After entering the narrow path, one will encounter a fantasy world where one is asked to tell about his or her life story and the purpose of joining the Xing Ling Sect.
These were naturally no problem for Ye Changsheng. After easily walking through this so-called road of self-examination, he met an old man in the Jindan stage. He asked him some questions and after testing his bone age, he successfully joined the Xingling Sect.
Of course, this is just the outer gate now.
Only cultivators who have reached the Jindan stage can become inner disciples of the Xingling Sect.
However, Ye Changsheng didn't care about this. After being assigned to a mountain, he stayed there temporarily.
After a few months, he would sneak into the inner sect of Xing Ling Sect from time to time to find out the situation.
Through his own spiritual exploration and with the help of some psychedelic techniques, Ye Changsheng obtained some information from some important people in the Xing Ling Sect. He roughly figured out the internal structure of the Xing Ling Sect.
"It seems that the most likely place for high-level skills to exist is the Sutra Library. If it is not in the Sutra Library, then it is most likely in the possession of those Void-Refining cultivators!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
In the inner gate of Xingling Sect, at the foot of the mountain where the Sutra Repository is located, a tall young man just came out of the Sutra Repository and walked down the mountain.
He raised one foot and was about to step over a stone step when suddenly his vision blurred and he stood still, unable to move. Even his consciousness became fuzzy.
Then a figure flashed beside him, and Ye Changsheng appeared silently.
"Tell me in detail the situation of the sect's Sutra Library." Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed with a strange black light. He stared into the young man's eyes and spoke slowly in a strange voice.
"The Sutra Repository is divided into two parts, the outer chamber and the outer chamber. The outer chamber is open to all inner disciples and elders, while the inner chamber only allows deacons above the Nascent Soul stage to enter!" The man answered with a dull look in his eyes and a wooden expression.
"The two Nascent Soul Deacons are guarding the outer chamber of the Sutra Repository, and there is a Spiritualization Elder in charge of the inner chamber!"
Listening to what the disciple said, Ye Changsheng's expression did not change, but a thoughtful look flashed in the depths of his eyes.
As one of the most important places in the sect, the Xingling Sect guards the Sutra Repository very strictly. One of the only ten or so elders who have reached the state of Divine Transformation in the sect is stationed here.
It is not an easy task to sneak past them and break into the Sutra Repository.
According to this Xingling Sect disciple, in addition to the elders sitting in the Sutra Library, there are also people patrolling at all times, day and night, regardless of the weather.
In addition, there are countless powerful prohibitions guarding it, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to approach.
Ye Changsheng pondered for a moment, then waved his sleeves and disappeared from the spot in an instant like a ghost.
The Xingling Sect disciple raised his foot for a long time before he stepped down at once.
He walked forward as usual, not noticing anything unusual.
After a while, Ye Changsheng's figure appeared on the top of the mountain. He stood on a huge rock and looked at a tall tower in the distance.
The tower has only three floors, but is more than ten feet high. There are a large number of runes engraved on the tower, which are obviously very powerful restrictions.
Two teams of patrolling monks surrounded the two sides of the attic, moving back and forth and patrolling alternately.
After looking for a long time, Ye Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face, his figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.
A month later, Ye Changsheng appeared here again. After looking at the tower for a moment, a light purple talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.
On the talisman, several silver tadpole runes were flowing, making it look extremely mysterious.
He stuck the talisman on his body, and the purple talisman suddenly shattered silently. The silver tadpole runes flew up and down around Ye Changsheng, and then merged into his body.
A purple mist suddenly appeared around his body, submerging his figure in the blink of an eye, and then a strange scene appeared.
Ye Changsheng's figure disappeared out of thin air. No matter whether he used his spiritual eyes or his spiritual sense to scan the place, he could not find any abnormality here.
"The Taiyi Huaqing Talisman is a rune on the Golden Palace Jade Book. It is more than enough to deceive even the Void Refining cultivators. These God Transformation cultivators in the Sutra Library should have no hope of discovering me!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He flew directly towards the Sutra Library in a swaggering manner, without paying any attention to the patrols around him.
Although the patrolling men looked around from time to time and their consciousness scanned every corner around them, they were completely unable to detect his presence.
Ye Changsheng floated into the Sutra Repository silently, and a circular hall appeared in front of him.
The hall is about thirty to fifty feet in diameter, and some roads extend out from the hall and lead to stone chambers.
In that stone chamber, one could vaguely see a number of bookshelves filled with various jade slips and the like.
At the door of the stone chamber, there are several large characters, which read "skills", "magic", "classics", etc.
A faint light curtain appeared at the door of each stone chamber, which was obviously an extremely powerful restriction.
After taking a quick look, Ye Changsheng had no intention of going into these stone houses to check, and went straight to a corner of the hall.
There was a white jade staircase that meandered up to the second level.
At the bottom of the white jade stairs, there were two old men with white hair and beards, sitting upright and seemingly talking about something.
The cultivation base of both of them is surprisingly at the late Nascent Soul stage.
Ye Changsheng passed by them silently, and the two men didn't notice him at all.
At the end of the white jade stairs, there appeared a stone door. A wave-like light emerged , reflecting colorful misty light. It looked obviously much more powerful than the restrictions in the stone chambers below.
It seems that behind this stone gate is most likely the inner cabinet of the Xingling Sect's Sutra Library, where the Xingling Sect's most exquisite classics are stored. It may not be easy to break the restrictions here.
Moreover, if you want to crack it, it will most likely alert the two people below.
Ye Changsheng looked at the restriction, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a small black flag appeared in his hand.
The magical treasure, the Black Wind Flag, can sometimes play an unexpected role.
With the help of this thing, it is not impossible to travel short distances through space.
Ye Changsheng waved the small flag, and a ball of black light emerged and wrapped him. Then the black light flashed, and he disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he appeared in a hall, which looked much smaller than the one below.
Several large white jade pillars stood in the hall, with countless runes engraved on the pillars. These runes emitted light and wrapped around the pillars.
Inside the light curtain, regularly shaped holes were dug out on the white jade pillars, forming small grids.
In these small grids, pieces of jade slips are floating, emitting a faint spiritual light.
After Ye Changsheng took a look at these white jade pillars, he looked towards a corner of the hall.
There stood a cushion , on which sat a middle-aged man, whose aura was that of an early stage of spiritual transformation.
"If we want to break the restriction here, we must alert this person!"
"It seems that we have to fight quickly and decisively, get rid of this person first, and then see what is in these skills!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Their eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, the Black Wind Flag appeared in their hands.
After he cast a few spells, a thick black light immediately burst out from the Black Wind Flag. Then the black light spread out and enveloped the entire second floor of the tower.
He directly pulled the second floor of the tower into the space of the Black Wind Flag.
The space changed silently, but the two Nascent Souls outside didn't notice it at all.
However, if they walked to the stone door leading to the second floor at this time and tried to open the restriction there and enter the second floor, they would immediately find something unusual.
A layer of black light had silently enveloped the stone door. Without Ye Changsheng's permission, they could not enter the second floor.
The Divine Transformation cultivator sitting in the main hall was also unaware of this.
Ye Changsheng floated behind him, holding the Xutian Ding in his hand. Suddenly, a bunch of black hair rushed out and rushed towards the Divine Transformation cultivator.
This person just realized the abnormality here, his eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted: "Who is it?"
At the same time, he rushed forward at a very fast speed, trying to avoid the rushing black hair.
At this moment, a dark hill appeared above his head and suddenly fell down.
The Xingling Sect's Divine Transformation cultivator was so frightened and angry that he immediately opened his mouth and spat out a magic weapon in an attempt to resist.
But almost as soon as it made contact, his magic weapon was knocked away, and he was knocked away with it, hitting the wall heavily.
Then, countless black hairs wrapped around him and in the blink of an eye, he was wrapped up tightly and turned into a human-shaped dumpling.
With a pull of green hair, the Star Spirit Sect 's deity was pulled into the Xutian Cauldron. After the lid of the cauldron was closed, the man was trapped inside.
Such a violent battle erupted here, but the outside world didn't notice it at all.
Ye Changsheng looked at the white jade pillars and attacked one of them directly.
Not long after, he broke the restriction on the pillar and the secret manuals of martial arts inside were readily available.
"The Xuan Yue Jue is a technique that can be cultivated to the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. This is extremely rare among the human race!" Ye Changsheng held a silver jade slip, probed his spiritual sense into it and looked at it for a while, then murmured.
After taking a quick look at the technique, he put it back into its original slot and picked up another technique to read.
After looking at it for a while, he put it back and picked up another jade slip.
After reading six or seven sets of exercises in a row, his brows furrowed slightly.
"They are all techniques that can only be cultivated to the level of Spiritualization and Refining Void. There is no technique that can be cultivated to a higher level!"
"Xingling Sect can't possibly only have this little skill!"
Ye Changsheng thought so in his heart and turned his gaze to the other pillars.
After breaking one of them, he opened it and saw that the things inside were still limited to the level of transformation of the spirit and refining the void.
His eyes flickered and he shifted his gaze to the pillar in the center of the hall.
He walked forward and smashed the pillar a few times with the Yuanci Mountain to break the restriction on it. Then he stretched out his hand and sucked one of the jade slips over.
"The Purple Flame Art can be cultivated to the peak of fusion!"
"Finally, I found a fusion-level technique!" A hint of joy appeared in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
He looked at the technique carefully for a while, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
"So that's how it is. This simplifies the Heavenly Star Technique and adds content for the Void Refining and Combination levels, so that you don't have to consume so many resources to continue practicing!"
“The difficulty can be said to have dropped dramatically!”
Ye Changsheng held the jade slip in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It seems that the old man from the Star Spirit Sect who had reached the state of transformation and was under his command at the time, had most likely practiced this technique, and so he was able to display the Star Spirit Purple Flame.
"If I were to switch to practicing this technique, it should be easy given my original technique. However, the power of this technique is relatively weak. I might as well practice the Brahma True Demon Technique!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself while holding the jade slip.
After standing there for a while, he took out a jade slip, engraved the technique on it, and then put the original jade slip back.
Then, he began to look at other jade slips.
There were not many skills on this pillar. Ye Changsheng read through them quickly and found two fusion-level skills among them.
These skills seem to have nothing to do with the Xingling Sect and must have other origins.
After Ye Changsheng finished reading the martial arts techniques here, his brows furrowed.
He didn't believe that the founder of the Star Palace could gain such a great reputation among the human and demon races by practicing the "Purple Flame Art".
Shifting his gaze, Ye Changsheng looked at the stairs leading to the third floor.
He lifted his feet and walked upwards.
The second level is the cabinet technique, what is the third level?
Go up the stairs to the entrance to the third floor. There is still a stone door with a forbidden light flashing on it.
Ye Changsheng thought about it and activated the Black Wind Flag to cover the entire pagoda except the first floor.
Then, he summoned Yuancishan and began to violently break the restrictions here.
Not long after, Ye Changsheng appeared inside the stone gate.
This place is very small, only a few meters in size, and there is nothing inside except an incense table and a portrait.
There was an incense burner on the table, with sandalwood sticks inserted in it and green smoke rising.
On the wall above the incense table, there is a portrait of a man with a blurred face carrying an ancient sword on his back, with a bright starry sky behind him.
In the starry sky, there are dots of light, and countless stars are shining with bright light.
But among them, seven stars are extremely conspicuous, with bright light that overshadows all other stars.
Ye Changsheng naturally recognized those seven stars; they were the Big Dipper!
