480: Chapter 480 The Forbidden Five Elements Primordial Scripture!

After hearing Qin Yan give a definite answer, Shen Wanqian laughed heartily and clinked his wine cup against Qin Yan's.

"Good, Brother Qin is straightforward!"

He drained the cup in one go, his face full of smiles.

"If Brother Qin needs any help in the future, you can come to me. I will do my best to help with what I can."

For a Special Grade Disciple like Qin Yan who had no background, his help at this moment could be described as providing charcoal in the snow.

Lending a hand during the most difficult and unfamiliar times made this friendship far more precious than assistance given after one had already achieved success and fame.

As for those other Special Grade Disciples, they all had powerful factions supporting them and didn't lack his bit of help at all.

At most, he would only be adding flowers to a bouquet—optional and dispensable.

Therefore, he placed extraordinary importance on Qin Yan!

As a local power in the Taixuan Realm and a Core Disciple of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, he knew all too well the weight of a Special Grade Disciple!

That was a "True King Seed"!

A True King—the Tenth Rank Realm—was an existence that surpassed a Ninth-Grade Venerable, a powerhouse truly standing at the Peak of the Martial Dao.

Under a full outburst of power, a Tenth Rank True King was an existence capable of blowing up a Small World!

That kind of power had already exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, sufficient to destroy the heavens and the earth, or to change the very world itself.

In many Small Worlds, the strongest person was merely at the Ninth-Grade Venerable Realm.

And the Martial Artists of those Small Worlds might not even see a single True King in their entire lives.

To them, a True King was a legendary existence, a figure from mythology.

Furthermore, a Tenth Rank True King had a lifespan of up to ten thousand years!

What did ten thousand years represent?

It was the rise and fall of an ordinary civilization, the establishment and collapse of Dynasties, and the profound changes of time.

A True King could witness countless cycles of Reincarnation in history and could protect a Family or a faction for ten thousand years.

You tell me if that's terrifying or not.

In their Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, a True King was also an existence qualified to serve in the ruling tier!

As one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Taixuan Realm, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce had its influence spread across ten thousand worlds, with immeasurable wealth.

But even so, the True King powerhouses in their chamber were few and far between; each was a titan guarding a region.

As for Special Grade Disciples, as long as they could successfully enter the Inner Court in the future and graduate smoothly...

Provided they didn't perish along the way, there was roughly a one-in-four chance of them becoming a True King in the future!

One in four!

Don't look at this number as if it wasn't large; one must know that for an average Prodigy Martial Artist, the probability of becoming a True King wasn't even one in ten thousand.

Yet Special Grade Disciples possessed a one-fourth chance.

This probability was already ridiculously high.

Of course, the premise was being able to successfully enter the Inner Court and graduate smoothly.

The competition in the Taixuan Holy Land was so intense and the elimination so cruel that it far exceeded common imagination.

Every year, countless Prodigies met their downfall and left in dejection.

Those who could make it to the end were all true favored children of heaven.

And if a Special Grade Disciple could successfully become a Core Disciple, the probability of becoming a True King in the future would be even higher!

Core Disciples were existences a level higher than Inner Court Disciples; they were the true elite of the Holy Land.

Every single person who could become a Core Disciple was a Prodigy among Prodigies, a Genius among Geniuses.

And if one became the Saint or Saintess of the Taixuan Holy Land, then it was almost a hundred percent certainty they would become a True King in the future.

The Saint and Saintess were the face of the Holy Land and its future.

They would receive the Holy Land's best resources, strongest training, and top-tier protection.

As long as they didn't perish, becoming a True King was a guaranteed certainty.

However, he didn't hold too high of an expectation for Qin Yan.

It would be good enough if the other party could smoothly graduate from the Inner Court in the future.

After all, without resources or background, how could he possibly outcompete those super Prodigies?

Those Special Grade Disciples from Great Worlds and major powers had been built up with countless resources since childhood, having top-tier teachers and the most complete training systems.

Compared to them, Qin Yan's starting point was far too inferior.

Of course, he wouldn't say these words out loud; he only thought them in his heart.

Soon, the two added each other's contact information in their tokens.

The tokens of the Taixuan Holy Land were powerful; not only could they be used to check information, but they could also be used for mutual communication, which was very convenient.

After adding the contact info, the two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Brother Qin, just now when you were absorbing Spiritual Qi at the Spirit Mountain, I observed that there seemed to be the power of the Five Elements circulating around you. Are you Cultivating the Five Elements Primordial Scripture?"

At that moment, Shen Wanqian suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Qin Yan's face showed his shock!

How did this Shen Wanqian know about the Five Elements Primordial Scripture?

"Brother Shen, how did you know?"

Qin Yan suppressed the surprise in his heart and didn't deny it, asking directly.

Since the other party had already named his Cultivation Technique, there was no need for him to be secretive.

Moreover, he was indeed curious about how Shen Wanqian knew.

Hearing Qin Yan's answer, Shen Wanqian immediately confirmed his previous suspicion.

"Brother Qin, there's something you don't know."

Shen Wanqian put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "This Five Elements Primordial Scripture was an illustrious technique in the Myriad Worlds in the early years."

Its grade is more powerful than many clan-guarding techniques, and even comparable to the Sect-guarding techniques of some Holy Lands."

He paused and continued:

"However, because its Cultivation difficulty is extremely high and the requirements for the Cultivator are exceptionally harsh, not many people Cultivate it."

It requires a Physique with all Five Elements, extremely high Comprehension Ability, and a massive amount of resources."

Ordinary people simply cannot practice it; practicing it is just a waste of time."

"Up until now, very few people still Cultivate this technique, and fewer and fewer people even know about its existence."

I only happened to see some records of it in the ancient books of the chamber of commerce, which is how I knew of this technique's existence."

Seeing the phenomenon when Brother Qin was Cultivating today, I made a bold guess."

At this point, Shen Wanqian was even more certain of Qin Yan's peerless natural talent.

Because their Wanbao Chamber of Commerce had quite a few Prodigies who had once obtained the Cultivation method for the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

Some of those people were Geniuses trained by the chamber, while others were elites recruited from the outside; every one of them was exceptionally gifted.

And the result of their Cultivation was—their Cultivation base got stuck at the Fourth Rank!

Not a single one was able to Breakthrough to the Fifth Rank.

That technique was like an insurmountable chasm, firmly blocking them outside the door.

Some were unwilling to give up and tried repeatedly, wasting several years only to eventually give up.

Some cut their losses in time and switched to other techniques; although they were delayed for a few years, they could at least continue moving forward.

And after that, no one practiced this technique anymore!

It was the same for many other noble families and Sects.

There was a time when countless Prodigies went to brave the Five Elements Tower to obtain the Cultivation method of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture to try and Cultivate it.

But in the end, those who could Breakthrough to the Fifth Rank were few and far between; most met their downfall.

Many noble families, Sects, and races even listed this technique as forbidden.
