175: Passionate Cangyun Yao

"Here, this one suits you best!"

Cang Yunyao handed the Jade Slip to Yao Delong and introduced it:

"Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art, an Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique!

It was created by an ancient powerhouse who observed the Nine Heavens Divine Sun. It is extremely rigid and Yang, incomparably domineering!

It perfectly inherits your extreme Yang path, and can push it to a higher Realm!

Once Cultivated to a deep level, your Yuan Qi can transform into Nine Yang Divine Fire, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas with ease!"

Yao Delong looked in the direction she pointed. The red-gold crystal emitted a scorching aura, with faint shadows of nine great suns floating within it. It did indeed resonate slightly with the Pure Yang Creation Golden Core inside his body.

"As for Martial Skills…"

Cang Yunyao's gaze swept over Yao Delong's sturdy physique, carrying undisguised appreciation,

"Junior Brother, with your build, it would be a waste of talent not to practice some physical Divine Abilities!"

She then took two ancient-looking animal hide scrolls from the side.

"Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art, an Earth Rank High Grade Body Refining method!

Practicing this technique allows you to draw upon Earth vein Evil Qi for Body Tempering, granting infinite strength; every gesture carries the power to suppress a prison!

When cultivated to Major Achievement, your Physical Body will be comparable to a Magic Treasure!"

"Void Splitting Nine Strikes, an Earth Rank High Grade melee Martial Skill!

It emphasizes instantaneous burst, nine consecutive strikes, shattering the Void Realm!

Combined with your formidable Physical Body and explosive power, its might will be doubled!"

Cang Yunyao's recommendations were incredibly precise, hitting exactly what Yao Delong needed and leveraging his advantages!

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior Sister!"

Yao Delong thanked her sincerely. Although this inner Disciple Senior Sister was a bit overly enthusiastic, her eye for talent was truly sharp.

"Heehee, why be so polite with your sister?"

Cang Yunyao covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes dancing with charm,

"However, Junior Brother, the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills on this second floor are not like the ones below, where you can just pay contribution points and take them away to study slowly."

She pointed to the Void Realm above her head and explained:

"This place is guarded by an artifact spirit. After you make your selection, you only need to communicate with the artifact spirit using your Divine Sense, and it will directly imprint a portion of the core information of the chosen Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill into your Sea of Consciousness."

"Oh? And what price must be paid?" Yao Delong asked.

"The price…" Cang Yunyao's eyes flashed with a hint of slyness,

"Is time! The artifact spirit will give you a deadline, usually ranging from three months to a year.

You must Cultivate that portion of the technique imprinted in your Sea of Consciousness to the 'Entry' Realm within the specified time.

When that happens, the artifact spirit will sense it and impart the complete information of the technique to you."

"What if I cannot reach the 'Entry' Realm within the deadline?" Yao Delong pressed.

"That would mean your compatibility with this Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill is extremely low, and forcing yourself to practice it would do more harm than good," Cang Yunyao said seriously.

"The artifact spirit will retract the imprint, and you will not be able to attempt to obtain this technique again for a short period.

This is a test set by the Sect to prevent Disciples from being overly ambitious and going astray."

After hearing Cang Yunyao's explanation, Yao Delong was stunned for a moment, and then an indescribable ecstasy surged in his heart!

A test? A deadline? Entry?

To him, wasn't this just a free gift?!

He had the System in his hands! Any Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill, as long as he obtained the core information, he could instantly reach the "Entry" Realm, or even directly reach "Perfection"!

This so-called test was completely useless against him!

"So that's how it is! Many thanks for clearing that up, Senior Sister!"

Yao Delong suppressed the excitement in his heart and put on an "I understand now" expression.

"Junior Brother, do not worry." Cang Yunyao thought he was worried about the difficulty of the test and comforted him softly, her beautiful eyes filled with encouragement,

"Given your talent and Foundation, it should not be difficult to reach the 'Entry' Realm for the ones I recommended.

Especially that Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art, it shares the same source as your Cultivation Technique and has extremely high compatibility. You might even reach the 'Entry' Realm in a month!"

Yao Delong looked at the three Legacy items in his hand that Cang Yunyao had recommended—the Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art, the Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Art, and the Void Splitting Nine Strikes—and he was already satisfied.

Cultivation Technique, Body Refining, and melee burst Martial Skills—the three complemented each other, enough to push his current advantages to the limit.

But he was not satisfied yet. The yanshen fetus he had obtained from the witch as collateral was currently emitting a warm divine light in his Sea of Consciousness, constantly nourishing his Divine Soul and making it far surpass those of the same Realm.

If such a treasure for the Divine Soul were not used in conjunction with a corresponding method, wouldn't it be like a pearl covered in dust?

"Senior Sister," Yao Delong looked at the stunning inner Disciple beside him, who was smiling beautifully, and asked:

"I wonder if there are any secret manuals specifically for cultivating the Divine Soul on this second floor?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Yunyao's charming face showed a hint of regret as she shook her head gently:

"Junior Brother Yao, the path of the Divine Soul is mysterious and unpredictable, involving the Origin of the Soul.

Such extraordinary methods are the most core and precious Legacies even within the Yin Yang Sect.

Unless one has rendered great service or obtained the approval of the Sect Master or the Grand Elder, it is difficult to access them.

The second floor of this Scripture Pavilion mostly collects mainstream Legacies regarding Yuan Qi, the Physical Body, and Dao techniques.

Secret manuals specifically for cultivating the Divine Soul… are not included."

A flash of disappointment crossed Yao Delong's eyes. As expected, Divine Soul secret manuals were too precious.

Although the yanshen fetus was good, for the time being, it could only serve as an auxiliary item to nourish his Divine Soul and enhance his Divine Sense.

He sighed inwardly, then his thoughts shifted.

"Thank you for informing me, Senior Sister."

Yao Delong nodded slightly and turned his gaze to the young man in black not far away, who was holding an ancient sword and exuded an aura as cold as ice.

"Senior Sister, I wonder if the sword Dao manuals are in the area where that Senior Brother is?"

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Cang Yunyao's beautiful eyes as she looked up and down at Yao Delong's sturdy physique.

"Junior Brother, with your build, you follow a rigid and domineering path, yet you are still interested in the Dao of the sword?

Could it be… you are also a hidden Sword Cultivator?"

Her tone was filled with intense curiosity and a hint of teasing.

"I only know a little, having cultivated a bit of Sword Intent," Yao Delong said calmly.

"I just want to see if I can find a way to Breakthrough among the Earth Rank sword techniques."

"I see." Cang Yunyao realized, pointing her jade finger toward the area where Zhuge Chuixue was located.

"There, that is where the sword Dao manuals are. That cold person is the inner Disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak, Zhuge Chuixue.

This person has a clear Sword Heart, and his temperament is just like his sword—aloof and cold.

I have not delved deeply into the path of the sword, so I will not give you any random recommendations. Junior Brother, you should go and choose for yourself."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Yao Delong thanked her again and turned to walk toward the bookshelf area that emitted a sharp aura.

Zhuge Chuixue sensed Yao Delong approaching but only indifferently raised his eyes to glance at him.

That gaze was like ten-thousand-year-old ice, devoid of any emotion, and then he lowered his head again, immersing himself in the Jade Slip emitting ancient Sword Intent in his hand, as if Yao Delong were just an insignificant wisp of air.

Fellow Disciple? In his eyes, only the Dao of the sword was worthy of attention.
