Chapter 56: Lotus Ascension Soul Art
Tianyi wasn’t so insensitive as to immediately start working on the cultivator’s cellphone. The most important thing was to allow Xi Ri to acclimate himself to the Spring Autumn Scripture.
Xi Ri’s cultivation was at the Spiritual Pillar Formation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it was not too late for Xi Ri to switch his cultivation technique. He only needed to demolish his partially formed Spiritual Pillars. Although his hard work in the past would go up in smoke, the new Spiritual Pillar formed would greatly increase his potential and strength.
If a Core Formation wanted to change their cultivation technique, the process would be far harder and would require many natural treasures. Tianyi was unique in that he had nine Spiritual Cores, so if he shattered them the treasures he would need to switch were less than people with only one Spiritual Core.
While Xi Ri was reconstructing his cultivation base, Tianyi once again returned to the Immortal Scripture Repository. Unlike the last time, Tianyi had permission to enter the seventh level!
The seventh level was for techniques that reached the level of True Immortals. Had to say, this represented the preciousness of the Spring Autumn Scripture that Tianyi brought back. Perhaps if Tianyi was at the Transcending Mortality or Unity Ream, he might’ve been allowed access to the eighth level.
The current him was not strong enough to reach the eighth level, if he tried to take a technique from there, nevermind taking a technique, Tianyi might suffer damage from the esoteric knowledge contained within.
He stepped into the seventh level and felt the dense spiritual qi within. Unlike the previous floors where there were books for the techniques, the whole floor was filled with jade slips. Unlike books, jade slips directly imparted the knowledge into your mind. In terms of effectiveness, jade slips were far superior to books.
Tianyi walked through the rows of jade slips, examining their name as well as their purpose. He paused when he came to the jade slip titled “War Golem Manufacturing Method.”
At the highest level, the manual allowed the user to create a hulking golem ranging from a few tens of feet to even one several miles large. The golem would be created from numerous materials and would have superior strength and toughness in comparison to magic beasts or demons of the same realm!
The only downfall was that it was very costly and that the user would have to control the golem from within. Even if Tianyi was a rich second generation, once he reached the Immortal Realm, the cost would even make him hurt. In addition, this was the ultimate peak of the method and there was no higher realm version.
Although the thought of him piloting a particular mobile suit appeared in Tianyi’s mind, the fleeting sense of interest ultimately could not win against his reason.
If the War Golem Manufactory Method gave Tianyi a slight sense of regret, then the next jade slip that caught his eyes made him want to vomit blood again.
Three Union Lifebound Weapon Manual
It was an ingenious method that allowed a cultivator to form three lifebound weapons upon the creation of their Spiritual Core. Not only that, but on higher mastery, the cultivator would be able to merge the three lifebound weapons to create a single lifebound weapon stronger than their cumulative strength and would instead increase the strength of the weapon exponentially.
Tianyi wasn’t planning on creating twenty-seven lifebound weapons. His head hurt just thinking about it. He was more interested in the merging method of the Three Union lifebound Weapon Manual.
He had nine Spiritual Cores. He could theoretically have nine lifebound weapons or artifacts. Just the thought of the merged strength of nine Lifebound weapons made Tianyi salivate. The Three Union Lifebound Weapon Manual allowed the merged lifebound weapon to have the strength of an artifact half a realm to a full realm higher than the weapon’s realm.
What would its strength be if thee merged lifebound weapon was made of nine lifebound weapons?
Tianyi, unknown of Sima Ming’s thought, waited outside the hall for Sect Master Xia’s summoning. It wasn’t like the Sect Master was idle all day and able to meet at Tianyi’s convenience. But at Tianyi’s insistence, as well as his status as Xi Mengfei’s son, Sect Master Xia allocated a time to meet Tianyi.
When Tianyi explained his purpose for meeting him, although Sect Master Xia still had his amiable expression, Tianyi felt a change in the air.
“Little Xi, it’s good that you brought this matter up to me.” Sect Master Xia said. “Do you feel different after cultivating the Lotus Ascension Soul Art? Any change in your senses at all?”
Tianyi shook his head. “I feel fine. I feel as if my head is even clearer, and I grasp concepts more easily. Sect Master, what about the jade slip?”
Seeing Tianyi still concerned about the jade slip, Sect Master Xia released a slight smile. “No worries, Little Xi. The jade slip is a minor inconvenience at most. There is nothing to worry about. After cultivating the Lotus Ascension Soul Art, how is your soul, any changes?”
“No, my soul feels fine. Except being a little denser, it’s still the same.” Tianyi replied, slightly confused why the Sect Master would ask about the Lotus Ascension Soul Art. “Is there a problem with the Lotus Ascension Soul Art?”
“I won’t hide it from you, Little Xi. The Lotus Ascension Soul Art is incredibly hard to cultivate, on the same level as the Primordial Heavenly Scripture. Aside from you, the number of people able to cultivate the Primordial Heavenly Scripture in our sect’s history numbered less than twenty.”
Sect Master Xia stroked his beard as he spoke. “You seem to have great fate with the Heavenly Scriptures created by the Three Pure Ones.”
“I only cultivated two scriptures related to the Heavenly Scriptures. Maybe it’s a coincidence.” Tianyi said, his voice laced with confusion.
Sect Master Xia shook his head. “The Spring Autumn Scripture was created in an attempt to merge the Timeless Heavenly Scripture and the Spatial Heavenly Scripture. In other words, you have come into contact with four Heavenly Scriptures.”
“H-how many scriptures are there?” Tianyi asked upon the revelation, gulping down some saliva.
“Ten, only ten since the creation of time.” Sect Master Xia said.
“Then what would happen if someone cultivated all ten?” Tianyi asked, an absurd idea forming in his head.
Sect Master Xia laughed. He could already guess what idea Tianyi thought up. “Little Xi, give up on that idea. The chances of you cultivating all ten are abysmally small, and cultivating all ten is not necessarily a good thing. Of the twenty who cultivated the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, seven of them suffered from Qi Deviation and died.”
“This... it won’t happen to me, right? I don’t feel anything wrong, though.” Tianyi asked, his body tensing slightly.
“No worries, you’ve already cultivated the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures for years now. If you have any problems, you should have been able to sense it by now. Stop trying to rely on elders and have more confidence in yourself. Cultivation is cultivating the self.” Sect Master Xia said. Afterward, Tianyi left as Sect Master Xia had many more duties to attend.
Once Tianyi left, the amiable smile on the Sect Master’s face disappeared and was replaced with a contemplative look.
The defect of the Lotus Ascension Soul Art wasn’t as simple as he had described to Tianyi. Under the Lotus Ascension Soul Art’s effect, the cultivator’s soul would become pure like a newborn baby’s, but at the same time, it would slowly turn the soul into a lotus.
This was the Lotus Ascension Soul Art’s greatest flaw, and it can only be categorized as a flawed fragment of the Soulheart Heavenly Scripture. Because of this, the Lotus Ascension Soul Art was locked on the ninth level and forbidden from being imparted unless under the implicit instruction of the Sect Master or the Grand Elders.
“Genyi, go search the records to see if anyone visited the ninth level of the Immortal Scripture Repository.” As a core building of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, the Immortal Scripture Repository was under constant surveillance. Every cultivator who came in and out at what time was precisely recorded.
