55: Chapter 55 Taiyi Nirvana Technique

"Hmm? Have you made more progress in your cultivation?" When Liao Jianshu looked at Yu Xiu, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes!

He could clearly see some different changes in Yu Xiu!

These changes were extremely obvious to him, but if he had to specify what they were, he wouldn't know where to begin.

'Surpassing ten thousand years of Lifespan has led to a transition in my life level. It's actually this obvious!' Yu Xiu whispered inwardly.

The vitality that had undergone transformation within his Life Spring was still washing over his body, causing his Physical Body to change at every moment.

He thought for a moment and used Hidden Edge to conceal these changes.

"I read some books and indeed gained some insights." Yu Xiu spouted nonsense the moment he opened his mouth.

'Can these low-level Cultivation Techniques and martial arts really be helpful?' Suspicion appeared in Liao Jianshu's eyes.

He guarded the Inner Courtyard Scripture Pavilion, so he naturally read books too, but at his level, these low-level Cultivation Techniques and martial arts were long useless to him.

Yu Xiu was already at the level of the Great Four Passes; theoretically, these Four Stages of Ascending Dragon Cultivation Techniques and martial arts shouldn't be useful to him either.

If they were useless to him, how could they be useful to Yu Xiu?

However, thinking that Yu Xiu had come here specifically to read, Liao Jianshu didn't dwell on it.

He waved his hand and left, closing the pavilion.

Although he had once been one of the Ten Heroes of Jinding Peak and was a recognized Genius within the Qingwei Sword Sect.

But there were still gaps between Geniuses.

The Ten Heroes were inferior to the Ten True Seeds, and the Ten True Seeds were inferior to the Top Ten True Disciples.

Yu Xiu was clearly a Genius who had surpassed the level of the Ten Heroes!

"When did you receive the Legacy of the Five Elements chapter of the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword?" On the way, Elder Liao suddenly spoke.

Yu Xiu answered truthfully: "I only received it from the Grand Elder this morning."

"..." Elder Liao suddenly paused and remained silent for a long while. "In half a day, you have already reached Perfection in the Five Elements chapter of the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword?"

Is this reasonable?

Others take years, or even decades, to cultivate a technique, and you reached Perfection in half a day?

'Perhaps, he really has a chance to do it!' The silence in Elder Liao's heart, triggered by shock, turned into burning passion!

Such astonishing Comprehension Ability...

If he still cannot succeed...

Elder Liao's Heart-Nature, which had been dormant for many years, couldn't help but ripple at this moment, fluctuating greatly.

"How did the Elder know that my Five Elements chapter of the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword has reached Perfection?" Yu Xiu asked in surprise.

One's cultivation level could be easily judged from the Qi on their body, and some eye-related secret arts could even directly see a person's cultivation level.

But the Realm is different; this kind of thing has no fluctuating Qi, no obvious external features, and generally only manifests at a deeper level, which almost only one can perceive themselves.

Yet this Library Elder was able to point it out in one sentence!

This was remarkable, and Yu Xiu wanted to learn it too.

Elder Liao smiled: "The Realm cannot be seen, but your attainments in the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword will manifest externally."

"Your Qi is thick and deep, yet it reveals a sense of emptiness and unreality. This is different from having messy cultivation or floating Qi; it is because your Realm is far higher than your cultivation level, causing your cultivation to be unable to keep up, especially..."

He pointed at Yu Xiu: "The Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword is too conspicuous in the eyes of us old guys. It is easy to distinguish what level you have reached and what attainments you have."

'So it's not that he can directly see through the Realm.' Yu Xiu was a bit disappointed; he had thought these old seniors were keeping some powerful method to themselves.

It turned out to be a judgment made purely based on experience, keen eyesight, and an understanding of the Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword.

Then there was nothing to learn.

However, from the point about the Qi being 'empty and unreal', one could actually judge that the Realm was higher than the cultivation level. This kind of experiential advice was worth listening to.

"You may not know this, but this old man was once one of the Ten Heroes of Jinding Peak. It's just that my cultivation was too smooth back then, so I didn't know how to harbor reverence. I went to the Twilight Ridge to eliminate demons and ended up returning heavily injured!" Liao Jianshu spoke of some past events.

He didn't go into detail, but Yu Xiu could still tell that quite a few people must have died during that demon elimination.

Liao Jianshu's mood was somewhat low.

'One of the Ten Heroes of Jinding Peak, Elder Liao was once a Genius comparable to Yuan Tiankuo!'

'And what kind of place is that Twilight Ridge?'

It actually caused even a master at the level of the Ten Heroes to almost lose their life and return heavily injured!

Yu Xiu suddenly felt that even if one reached the level of Yuan Tiankuo, one must still be cautious!

"I was severely injured at the time, to the point where my cultivation dropped. Jinding Peak put in a lot of effort, but they couldn't heal me. In the end, I came to this Inner Courtyard and took an idle job as a Library Elder!"

"To this day, my injuries have yet to recover!" Elder Liao Jianshu's words were very plain.

But for a once high-spirited Ten Heroes Genius who could only waste time in the end, with cultivation unable to advance an inch and even regressing, while guarding a Scripture Pavilion in the Inner Courtyard all day, how could Elder Liao be content?

He certainly wouldn't be content!

So Yu Xiu just listened quietly without interjecting.

"You see that my hair has turned gray, but you may not know that I have only lived for three hundred years so far. In terms of the eight-hundred-year Lifespan of the Indestructible Realm, I still have plenty of time, five hundred years of Lifespan..."

"Yet, burdened by my injuries, I can no longer make any progress!"

He suddenly became serious: "I... am not reconciled!"

Yu Xiu nodded: "How should I help you?"

Liao Jianshu said nothing and walked straight into his courtyard. He took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Yu Xiu: "Take a look at this secret art."

Yu Xiu took it and carefully sensed it.

'Taiyi Nirvana Technique!'

After carefully reading it once, Yu Xiu realized that this secret art was not a cultivation method, but a method for healing injuries.

If cultivated to completion, it could reshape the Five Viscera and six bowels; even if one's heart were shattered by someone, one could grow a new heart.

But...

'It's incomplete!'

Yu Xiu frowned, and it was severely incomplete. It wasn't that the beginning or the end was missing.

It was fragmented, with a bit missing here and a bit missing there; one might not even know if something was missing.

It was only because Yu Xiu relied on his Comprehension Ability of over ten thousand that he could be certain that parts were definitely missing.

"Well, is it possible to cultivate this secret art?" Complex emotions like anticipation and nervousness could be seen in Liao Jianshu's eyes, though he remained calm on the surface.

"I have had this Taiyi Nirvana Technique for a long time, but I have never been able to find a way to enter its gate!"

"I have also studied it together with various Elders and Protectors on Jinding Peak, but the final conclusion was that this method is incomplete!"

But, is it really incomplete?

Is it possible that it's not that the secret method is incomplete, but that their Comprehension Ability is not high enough?

That is why they cannot cultivate it!

Yu Xiu's Comprehension Ability is so outstanding; perhaps he could cultivate it?

At this moment, Elder Liao's heartbeat sounded like a drum, becoming stronger than ever before!

Yu Xiu nodded: "The secret method is indeed incomplete, with many parts missing."

'As expected?' The nervousness and anticipation in Liao Jianshu's eyes were swept away.

What replaced them was relief!

Over these many years, he actually hadn't held much hope.

It was just that Yu Xiu's Comprehension Ability had surprised him too much, so he wasn't reconciled and wanted to try it on Yu Xiu.

Until even someone with such astonishing Comprehension Ability as Yu Xiu stated directly that the secret art was incomplete...

Liao Jianshu completely gave up, just smiling with relief, 'I should have stopped holding onto hope long ago, shouldn't I?'

Yu Xiu also smiled: "I can complete it."

Elder Liao's face suddenly stiffened, and even his heartbeat stopped!
