361: A surprise

There was such a record in the Bamboo Scrolls of the Phoenix Clan.

"Beneath the Azure Sky, the Martial Dao Law intertwines like threads, profoundly mysterious..."

That the Martial Dao Law intertwined like threads—Li Qi initially didn't understand what this sentence meant, but now, seeing the golden mark before his eyes, he knew what was going on.

This was the mark left behind when Immortal Martial True Lord attained the Dao back then!

It was the True Lord's manifestation of his comprehension of the true meaning of the Martial Dao Law!

Even after tens of thousands of years, this mark still persisted here, never disappearing.

But this wasn't the most crucial thing; the most crucial thing was that Li Qi's System actually reacted?!

"Discoverable Cultivation Technique!"

"Cultivation Technique being recorded..."

Li Qi's breathing became uncontrollably heavy.

This was Immortal Martial True Lord's Martial Dao insight!

Hidden within this mark was Immortal Martial True Lord's Martial Dao Cultivation Technique!!!

The System had already detected this and was scanning and recording the Cultivation Technique within the golden mark, just like with the Phoenix King's remains earlier.

Seeing Li Qi standing before the golden mark with an excited expression, Phoenix Lord was momentarily puzzled: "Li Qi, what's wrong? Is there something unusual about this golden mark?"

"Unusual? No, no, no..."

"This is too right!"

"This couldn't be more right!!!"

Li Qi laughed heartily, feeling very pleased; he actually had a chance to obtain the Cultivation Technique that Immortal Martial True Lord Cultivated... This might be his greatest gain since arriving at the Land of Dao Attainment!

Phoenix Lord was momentarily stunned; Li Qi had always given her the impression of being steady and experienced, rarely losing his composure like this. She didn't know why Li Qi was suddenly so happy.

Phoenix Lord also looked at the golden mark. Years ago, she had come here and seen many golden marks. She had also tried to comprehend these Martial Dao marks, hoping to gain something.

However, these golden marks were too profound and obscure. Her many attempts were fruitless, and she could only give up.

"Li Qi, you want to comprehend the true meaning of the Law within the golden mark, don't you?"

"That's probably not possible. I tried years ago, but I failed."

Li Qi was noncommittal, instead saying, "It's fine, just wait for me. I shouldn't need too much time here."

Seeing Li Qi's insistence on comprehending the golden mark, Phoenix Lord no longer stopped him, but quietly waited by his side, acting as his Protector and constantly deflecting the incoming spatial fragments.

As Li Qi's strength continuously improved, the System's Cultivation Technique also became increasingly powerful. The scanning and recording of the golden mark didn't take much time, and the Cultivation Technique within it was successfully extracted.

"Recording complete!"

"You have obtained the Cultivation Technique... Heaven and Earth Furnace!"

"Heaven and Earth Furnace?!"

Li Qi was overjoyed and quickly checked the detailed information of this Cultivation Technique.

This [Heaven and Earth Furnace] was the method Cultivated by Immortal Martial True Lord. It was a Creation Realm Cultivation Technique that could plunder the Creation of Heaven and Earth, refining it into an opportunity to Breakthrough the Creation Realm!

This method was exceptionally profound. It was by relying on this method that Immortal Martial True Lord successfully attained the position of True Lord.

It allowed the Cultivator to reach the very top!

"Finally, it's mine..."

The time spent waiting for the System to record was only two short incense sticks' worth, but it felt to Li Qi as if an entire century had passed. When this Cultivation Technique was recorded by the System and clearly displayed on the System page, Li Qi finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm done... Let's go."

Li Qi said with a relaxed expression and a comfortable mood. Phoenix Lord also didn't ask further, and the two continued to rush deeper into the Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky.

Along the way, Li Qi saw many more golden marks. The closer they got to the central area of the Martial Dominion of the Azure Sky, the more golden marks there were.

However, Li Qi merely swept past these golden marks, and the System showed no reaction; no prompts appeared before his eyes.

This indicated that the Cultivation Technique contained within all the golden marks was [Heaven and Earth Furnace]. After successfully recording it once, the other golden marks no longer reacted, as the System would not record duplicates.

After the two advanced for a while, the pressure on them became increasingly terrifying. The True Lord's power remaining here had almost materialized, pressing down on Li Qi like a massive mountain.

Li Qi's forehead was slightly beaded with sweat. The immense pressure here made him feel unbearable: "We need to hurry... Even I can't endure here for too long."

Phoenix Lord was also not feeling well at this moment. She also nodded and pointed to a spot ahead, saying, "Look over there... That should be what you're looking for."

Li Qi followed Phoenix Lord's direction and saw a massive stone platform ahead. The stone platform was ten thousand feet in circumference, covered with dense golden marks.

In addition, there were some small objects floating above the stone platform, emitting faint spiritual light, shimmering like stars.

Anything that could appear here... was most likely left by that Immortal Martial True Lord.

Li Qi's eyes lit up, and he quickly flew towards the massive stone platform.

Soon, the two arrived on the stone platform. Li Qi reached out and grabbed the closest light cluster. As the object fell into Li Qi's hand, the light receded, revealing the object hidden within.

This was a jade pendant.

This jade pendant was as smooth as fat, as pure as the moon, shaped like clouds, winding and coiling, with the posture of a soaring Dragon, as if hidden within a sea of clouds, ready to emerge. Its color was warm and moist, like flowing clear spring water, faintly revealing a faint glow.

After the jade pendant came into his hand, a look of joy involuntarily appeared on Li Qi's face. He had finally gotten it. He quickly put the jade pendant into his bosom.

There were still many light clusters floating on the stone platform. Li Qi collected these light clusters one by one, acquiring many miscellaneous items, such as wrist guards, vertical flutes, and combs.

After sweeping all the items clean, this trip was perfect. Li Qi and Phoenix Lord were about to leave when an unexpected change occurred.

A giant spatial fragment nearby drifted to one side, revealing a figure hidden behind it.

"I never thought that I would encounter others here, just by reminiscing for a moment..."
