724: Qihuo

Subsequently, Tang Jue used specially imprinted blank jade talismans to engrave the selected cultivation techniques and divine abilities, then returned to the entrance and found Elder Tang.

He showed them to him.

“Hmm, good~ Go on.” Elder Tang glanced at them briefly, nodded, and said to Tang Jue, “These are all excellent and very suitable for you. It seems your judgment is quite good, and you have your own plans and path. Not bad.”

“Thank you, Elder Tang!” Tang Jue nodded slightly with a smile, then took the jade talismans and returned to his cave abode.

Only then did he begin to carefully study these few jade talismans:

They were:

Sword Technique: 《Dividing Shadows and Harmonizing Rainbows Sword》

Divine Ability: 《Five Qi Facing the Origin》

Spell: 《Imprisoning Gods Restraint Array》

For spells, he chose a confinement-type spell, to be used for support and to increase the hit rate when he unleashed his ultimate moves!

This was to prevent the opponent from using secret techniques to dodge, which would be a huge loss. Even if he couldn't kill them, he could at least clash with the opponent head-on, which would still be considered accomplishing something.

Being dodged would be the biggest loss.

As for the Sword Technique he chose, Tang Jue valued its versatility.

Just as its name, “Dividing Shadows and Harmonizing Rainbows,” implies, wide-range attacks are dividing shadows, while single-target attacks are harmonizing rainbows. In essence, it's about scattering and gathering sword qi.

However, simply scattering and gathering is just an application of “basic attacks,” whereas the Sword Technique applies special qi circulation methods and laws, thereby greatly enhancing its effect and power.

The two sword arts Tang Jue possessed were like this: the area-of-effect 《Myriad Swords Art》 and the single-target 《Heaven-Shaking Sword Art》.

The Divine Ability 《Five Qi Facing the Origin》 that Tang Jue chose was an explosive, state-altering divine ability.

Its effect was simple and direct: it significantly increased the “quality” of his True Energy.

However, the difficulty of cultivation was very high, as it was a Divine Ability after all!

The power of a Divine Ability lay in its having no side effects or extremely minimal side effects, yet its power and effect were immense!

Compared to spells, it was like a super-enhanced, no-side-effect version.

Currently, the “life and death” of the human race was not yet his concern. What he needed to do now was to improve himself.

Strive to become stronger!

Only by becoming stronger first could he make a difference!

Otherwise, no matter how much of a genius he was, if thrown out now, he would just be a slightly higher-level cannon fodder.

As Tang Jue was thinking, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

“I forgot, cultivation technique!” Tang Jue's current cultivation technique, 《Myriad Swords Heaven-Shaking Art》, became somewhat unsuitable after his ascension. After all, for the subsequent realms and directions, this cultivation technique no longer matched.

It wasn't that he couldn't cultivate it anymore; it was just that there was no path forward, only the simple refinement and increase in the quality of True Energy.

“Hey, hey, hey! I told you, you can totally come to us for cultivation techniques!” Yi Xin said to Tang Jue in the Cross-World Group.

“Hmm? I'll go to the Scripture Pavilion to find one,” Tang Jue said.

“That works too. You can use it for now. We are still researching. Later, we can tailor a cultivation technique specifically for you, one that suits your talent, physique, and the Geng Metal Sword Intent you cultivate,” Yi Xin said to Tang Jue.

“This is possible?” Tang Jue was a bit moved when he heard Yi Xin's words. Could they actually do something like that?

“Absolutely! Our Martial Pavilion's products are always top-notch! What’s more, it’s for a group member. If you don't believe me, you can ask others; it's definitely worth it!” Yi Xin said to Tang Jue.

“Understood. Then I'll find a cultivation technique to practice for now, and I'll leave the rest to you later!” Tang Jue said to Yi Xin.

“No problem! Once we've finished our research, we'll immediately start customizing a cultivation technique for you!” Yi Xin immediately agreed.

“Thank you for the trouble.” After Tang Jue replied, he got up and went to the Scripture Pavilion to find a cultivation technique.

Seeing Elder Tang again and stating his purpose, Elder Tang couldn't help but chuckle softly and nod slightly.

Tang Jue then delved into the Scripture Pavilion, beginning his search for a cultivation technique he liked.

As for recommendations? Elder Tang wouldn't do such a thing.

Everyone has their own path and destiny; the cultivation techniques are there, and it's up to each individual to decide which one to choose.

Moreover, the most important thing was that any cultivation technique in the Scripture Pavilion was not bad.

Even after such a long time, the number of cultivation techniques in the Scripture Pavilion was not large (there were many categories, so when calculated, the actual number in each category was not large).

In reality, many cultivation techniques, after being studied by people over long periods, had various improved versions, all crafted by various senior mighty figures.

So, one cultivation technique had N versions, and under this “original,” many different versions were listed, making it seem like there were many.

Tang Jue made a selection in the cultivation technique section.

He ultimately chose a cultivation technique called 《Profound Heaven True Art》.

He didn't choose any of the various versions, but rather the original.

He chose to use the original version. Everyone walks their own path, and he naturally wanted to forge his own. Plus, Yi Xin was going to create a custom cultivation technique for him later, so he would see how that turned out!

“Profound Heaven True Art, ah, this cultivation technique is very good, and it is balanced and gentle, with extremely strong inclusivity. It will be very easy for you to switch to other cultivation techniques later, and its purity is also very high. Although it doesn't have special functions or effects, its quality is top-notch,” Elder Tang said, glancing at the cultivation technique Tang Jue had chosen, and nodded slightly.

“Thank you, Elder Tang.” Tang Jue nodded slightly, then took the imprinted jade talisman and returned to his cave abode.

“Everything is ready.” Tang Jue took a deep breath, scanned the imprinted cultivation technique with his divine sense, and branded it into his Sea of Consciousness.

Let's start practicing!

Next was the time to change cultivation techniques.

Changing cultivation techniques would take at least several days, followed by subsequent cultivation, as well as the practice of Sword Techniques, Divine Abilities, and Spells.

According to his situation, he had to train all of them to perfection!

It was a long and arduous journey!

Let's start practicing!

Tang Jue immediately began his closed-door cultivation.

At the same time, Yi Xin, Lin Zifeng, and Xiao Feng from the Cross-World Group also entered closed-door cultivation together, researching the room full of cultivation techniques Tang Jue had given them.

“They really have passion!” Maple Leaf couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the situation in the group.

She had just finished guiding the cultivation of the techniques, which was now on track.

These officers had just entered the threshold; the rest was diligent study and hard training.

“Alright, they've learned it. The rest is up to you all.” Seeing that these officers had entered a state of cultivation, Maple Leaf directly handed over the responsibility.

“Okay, no problem! If there are any further situations later... could we continue to trouble you?” The Official said to Maple Leaf.

“We'll see then, if I'm still here,” Maple Leaf said to the Official, then walked outside.

She had to pull Allie, who was having a blast playing there, back.

“Phew~ That was fun! These big toys are quite enjoyable.” Allie was quickly found by Maple Leaf.

She chuckled and said to Maple Leaf.

Indeed, for Allie, these technological products were just big toys.

There was no other way; these products, unless they reached the intensity level of Ran Quan's interstellar era, Allie would barely even look at them. At least then, they would be considered things with “lethality.”

In a world that hadn't even achieved interstellar travel, these technological products were just so-so, including nuclear bombs.
