Chapter 65: Keep one technique in reserve! It'll be easier to control later!
(Previous Chapter: The Silver Pages belong to Han Li. The protagonist said he would help him explore the secrets of the Silver Pages and then share them. Some people are saying he's licking his boots?)
Han Li was dumbfounded.
This incomprehensible scene before him made him completely convinced that the secret hidden in this page was probably far more astonishing than he had imagined.
"Junior Brother Han, this isn't over yet!"
Lin Chuan glanced at Han Li, who looked surprised and doubtful, and with a slight smile, he offered words of reassurance.
Immediately, his expression became even more focused, and the cyan sword light that had gathered at his fingertips reappeared, but it was much smaller and more refined than before.
As fine as a cow's hair.
He manipulated the wisp of sword light, striking the floating dark gold pages once more.
This time, the sword light silently disappeared into it, as if it were being absorbed.
Lin Chuan did not stop.
The sword-like energy from his fingertips continued to strike the pages of the book, bit by bit.
The true essence of the Azure Origin Sword Manual within his body continuously transformed into pure sword light, which then flowed into the small pages of the book like streams converging into the sea.
The dark gold pages seemed to transform into a bottomless abyss, accepting all the sword light Lin Chuan poured into them and absorbing it all.
As the sword light continued to flow in, the dark gold color of the book pages seemed to become more restrained, with a strange radiance flowing within, yet it never truly appeared.
Time passed slowly, and Han Li watched intently from the side.
He could feel Lin Chuan's energy continuously dwindling, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. The page, aside from appearing slightly darker, remained unresponsive, greedily absorbing the sword's edge.
After a full incense stick's time, Lin Chuan had consumed seventy to eighty percent of his true essence, and the sword light at his fingertips seemed to be losing momentum, its brilliance dimming.
Just now.
A sudden change has occurred!
The dark gold pages that had been silently absorbing the sword's light suddenly burst forth with golden light!
A blinding golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire room in a magnificent golden glow, and even deflecting a faint wisp of sword light that followed!
"Sizzle!"
The deflected sword light lost control and flew out diagonally, piercing a bowl-sized hole with smooth edges in the wall of Han Li's house, letting in the sunlight.
Han Li was shocked; the residual power of that sword light was so sharp!
Immediately afterwards, the golden light that burst forth from the pages did not scatter, but rather, as if drawn by an invisible force, quickly converged and condensed towards the center of the pages.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light transformed into countless ancient golden characters, smaller than grains of rice yet crystal clear, flowing, arranging, and combining slowly on the dark golden pages, as if they possessed life.
In an instant, the entire page turned into a dense array of golden specks, as if the entire starry sky had been condensed into a space of just one foot, exuding an aura of mystery and unfathomable power.
Han Li was dumbfounded; the scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension.
Then, there was a soft "click".
Lin Chuan's levitation technique seemed to be forcibly interrupted by some force.
The dark gold pages, now without their support, fell straight down from mid-air.
Lin Chuan reacted extremely quickly, immediately bending down to take it; however, his fingers had barely touched the warm, slightly cool surface of the pages—
"Buzz!"
The countless golden words flowing on the pages seemed to have suddenly found their only outlet. Like a flood bursting its banks, or like sharks smelling blood, they rushed and surged through Lin Chuan's fingers, pouring into his entire body!
The speed at which the light characters were transmitted was unbelievably fast, even exceeding the limits of Lin Chuan's divine sense reaction.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Chuan's entire body—starting from his fingertips, rapidly spreading to his arms, torso, legs, and even head—was completely covered by those dense, flickering golden characters!
At this moment, Lin Chuan was covered in golden light, with countless tiny ancient characters moving and flickering on his skin, creating an extremely eerie scene, like a golden statue covered with mysterious runes.
"Senior Brother Lin, are you...are you alright?!"
Han Li was so shocked by this horrifying scene that he took a half step back, his tone filled with genuine worry.
He had some connection with Lin Chuan after all, and he didn't want to see the other die in front of him because of an object.
More importantly, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a sect were to perish in the Hundred Herbs Garden for some reason, even if it had nothing to do with him, he would definitely be implicated, and the law enforcement cultivators of Yellow Maple Valley would not listen to his side of the story.
"Junior Brother Han, there's no need to worry... Uh ah—!" Lin Chuan wanted to say something to comfort Han Li, but as soon as he spoke, another unexpected thing happened!
The golden characters that covered his entire body and flickered incessantly seemed to receive some ultimate command. They suddenly stopped, and then, like rivers flowing into the sea, they all changed direction and rushed towards Lin Chuan's head!
Thousands upon thousands of light characters, like a golden torrent, surged wildly into Lin Chuan's brow and instantly squeezed into his sea of consciousness!
"ah--!"
Lin Chuan let out a low, suppressed growl of pain, his body trembled violently, and he almost lost his balance.
"ah--!"
Lin Chuan let out a low, suppressed growl of pain, his body trembled violently, and he almost lost his balance.
His head felt as if it were being forcibly cracked open. A massive amount of complex, profound, and mysterious information was forcibly crammed into the depths of his mind by those light characters. The instantaneous impact made his vision go black, his consciousness churn, and he was in excruciating pain.
Fortunately, although the information infusion was violent, it only lasted for a moment.
When the last character for "light" merged into his brow, all the golden light on his body disappeared, and the dark golden page of the book completely lost its luster, becoming ordinary and unremarkable.
The shockwaves from the information were still lingering; Lin Chuan was pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
But he knew that the most important thing at this moment was to digest this information. He forced himself to calm down and, disregarding everything else, sat down cross-legged in Han Li's room, closed his eyes, and sank all his mind into his sea of consciousness.
They began to painstakingly sort out and understand the influx of traditions.
Seeing this, Han Li dared not make a sound to disturb him, nor did he dare to touch Lin Chuan or the fallen page.
He could only find a spot in the room that was neither too close nor too far away, and sat down cross-legged to guard it quietly. At the same time, his heart was filled with turbulent waves of curiosity and shock about the golden pages and the inheritance that Lin Chuan had obtained.
Lin Chuan sat there for a full day and night.
He didn't open his eyes until the afternoon of the next day.
His eyes were deep, and the cyan-gold sword shadow flashed by, adding an indescribable sharpness and sense of vicissitude.
After a full day and night of effort to digest the information, he finally began to understand the core of the massive amount of information in his mind.
The complete version of "Qingyuan Sword Manual"!
From the first level all the way up to the legendary thirteenth level, which can only be cultivated by those at the Nascent Soul stage! The cultivation path, the circulation of true essence, the use of sword light, and the accompanying secret techniques... are all detailed and complete.
The message also contained an amazing auxiliary technique called the Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique!
This method requires practitioners to actively disperse their energy once when they have cultivated the "Azure Origin Sword Manual" to the sixth level (corresponding to the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage), dissipating most of their true energy, and then cultivate it back to its original state.
This process is repeated three times. Each time the true essence is restored after the power is dissipated, it is compressed and purified to the extreme by the method of the "Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique", making the purity of the magic power far exceed that of the same level, and the foundation is incredibly stable.
The predecessor who created this technique asserted that cultivators who have undergone the "three transformations" of tempering and have rebuilt their sword technique to the peak of Foundation Establishment will have a significantly higher success rate in forming the Golden Core, almost equivalent to avoiding the most difficult bottleneck in the Golden Core stage!
This is simply a heaven-defying divine skill that all cultivators stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment dream of!
"Senior Brother Lin, how...are you?"
Han Li's concerned voice rang out, pulling Lin Chuan back to reality from his shock and elation.
Seeing the change in Lin Chuan's expression after he woke up, Han Li guessed that Lin Chuan must have obtained some kind of extraordinary inheritance from that book.
What he cared about most at that moment was whether Lin Chuan would keep his promise.
"I'm fine, better than ever before."
Lin Chuan stood up, a sincere smile on his face, and looked at Han Li, "Junior Brother Han, there is indeed a complete cultivation technique inheritance sealed in those pages, which is extremely precious."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I will now burn the contents to you."
