9: The Great Celestial Immortal Technique, Xu Jinhuan's terrifying comprehension

“Revered Master went out fooling around again?”

“Heh heh, she really is a heartless scumbag woman who forgets everyone once she puts on a skirt.”

Standing atop Eastern Emperor Mountain, Xu Jinhuan gazed into the distance, unsurprised that Addictive Master was not by his side.

It wasn't the first time, anyway.

This woman has a mysterious background and terrifying strength; she must have things she needs to do.

Currently, he was too weak to help or interfere.

But Xu Jinhuan could also sense that this Revered Master was quite proper in front of other people.

She was only like this with him.

After complaining, he stopped thinking about the woman, hummed a tune, and walked down the mountain.

After another day of tireless effort, he had accumulated ninety thousand miles deep of terrifying Spiritual Qi in his Ten Thousand Mile Spiritual Sea, making the entire Spiritual Sea almost a perfect square.

“It's close! I'm almost at the Perfect Golden Core!”

Xu Jinhuan had a premonition in his heart.

This is cause for celebration! We must drink heartily!

“Speaking of which, ever since I Transmigrated, I've been focused on enjoying Revered Master, this nine-star beauty, and haven't yet tried the fine wine and delicious food of this world.”

However, just as he descended the mountain and hadn't taken two steps, he was swept away by a Supreme Divine Power.

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Jinhuan was amidst swirling colorful clouds and dense Immortal Qi, looking down upon millions of miles of mountains and rivers below—an infinitely magnificent view.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was lush, almost condensing into substance. He could feel the vapor formed by the Spiritual Qi exploring his skin, ready to penetrate his pores and become part of his cultivation at any moment.

What a blessed land of Immortals, a Spiritual Qi Heaven Cave!

Staying in a place like this long-term, even a pig could cultivate to a profound Realm.

Although he hadn't yet seen the Immortal Master, Xu Jinhuan already guessed the identity of the host, turned around, and bowed toward the Void Realm.

“Disciple Xu Jinhuan of Eastern Emperor Mountain greets Old Ancestor.”

“Hahahaha...”

A hearty laugh rang out, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

Appearing along with the voice was an old man with the demeanor of an Immortal Master, possessing white hair and beard—it was Taiyi Old Ancestor, whom he had met once before.

The Old Ancestor, who had previously appeared as a beggar, felt a little embarrassed. Today, he specifically changed his appearance, hoping to put on a show for Xu Jinhuan and display the demeanor of an expert.

After all, this young man was a Supreme Prodigy of the Ten Heaven Caves, and the personal Disciple of that person?

“Little Xu, you are quite sharp to know that I was the one who brought you here.”

“Old Ancestor's overwhelming Divine Might is unparalleled in the world; Jinhuan naturally recognizes it.”

Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, though he was secretly complaining in his heart.

He was the number zero sequence personally appointed by the Old Ancestor, with a distinguished status. Even if the current Holy Lord came, he wouldn't dare abduct him so directly.

In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, the only one who would dare act so recklessly is probably this rotten old man... “Hahaha, you young man are quite the smooth talker, completely the opposite of your Revered Master, that aloof Young Miss.”

Feeling greatly pleased by the praise, the Old Ancestor casually tossed out a Storage Pouch, patted Xu Jinhuan's shoulder, and said cheerfully:

“These are the resources prepared by the Holy Land. As the number zero sequence, this is what you deserve. If you need resources in the future, just ask. Anything the Holy Land possesses will be prioritized for your supply!”

Xu Jinhuan accepted the Storage Pouch, and his Divine Thought scanned inside, instantly being shocked by the wealth contained within.

Inside the ten thousand foot space, all kinds of treasures were present, countless Divine Pills, and resources needed for the Transcendent Stage, from the Blood Moving Realm to the Life and Death Realm, were all complete, even amounting to dozens of sets.

Such wealth is enough to support dozens of Divine Spirit Realm experts!

“Thank you, Old Ancestor. Jinhuan will certainly cultivate diligently and repay the Holy Land soon.”

Putting away the Storage Pouch, Xu Jinhuan stood still, awaiting further action from the Old Ancestor.

The fact that he brought him here was definitely not just about giving him resources.

Sure enough, Taiyi Old Ancestor's expression turned serious.

“Little Xu, I have another great Opportunity to give you.”

Before his voice faded, the world suddenly changed.

Amidst the spinning heavens and turning earth, Xu Jinhuan found himself in a vast Void Realm. Here, Law Divine Chains were interwoven like a net, Dao Runes flowed ceaselessly, and countless shimmering light clusters containing ancient aura floated, like remnants from the creation of heaven and earth.

In the center of the Void Realm, an Immortal Stone stood majestically, approximately three zhang, six chi, and five cun tall, with a circumference of two zhang and four chi.

The stone body was covered in nine apertures and eight holes, and as if possessing life, it continuously devoured the power of the Great Dao in the Void Realm while spitting out ancient light clusters, creating astonishing phenomena.

“Come, place your hand on this stone.”

Taiyi Old Ancestor said.

Only now did Xu Jinhuan realize with a start that he was already standing right in front of the Immortal Stone, just a step away.

Such a fantastical experience caused his heart to tighten.

What a terrifying method! It was completely undetectable. If the other party had wanted his life, he would probably be a corpse already!

Thankfully, this was one of their own people.

This world is terrifying; I must quickly increase my strength!

A sense of urgency arose in Xu Jinhuan's heart.

But he remained composed on the surface, obeying the Old Ancestor's words and placing his hand on the Immortal Stone.

The next moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

Buzz—

In an instant, brilliant divine light soared into the sky, and a deafening hum echoed in the Void Realm.

Countless Law Divine Chains trembled violently, and Great Dao Divine Runes frantically pulsed, as if fearing the arrival of some Supreme existence.

Reflected by the divine light, Xu Jinhuan's body became sacred and transparent, appearing like a Divine Being descending from beyond the heavens.

At the same time, massive amounts of unfamiliar memories surged into his mind like a tide.

Beside him, Taiyi Old Ancestor watched calmly, his eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

“I wonder how long the Ten Heaven Caves, the only one in eternity, will take to comprehend the Great Celestial Immortal Technique?”

“Ten days? Five days? Or three days?”

As for a shorter time, he couldn't imagine it at all.

“The Great Celestial Immortal Technique is a top-tier Legacy from the Immortal Domain; its mysteries are boundless. Even Senior Brother, the Nine Heaven Caves Supreme, took a full month to comprehend it. Although this young man's talent is stronger, he will surely need to spend some time...”

But just as this thought crossed his mind, Xu Jinhuan slowly opened his eyes, divine light swirling within them.

From the moment he pressed his hand onto the Immortal Stone until he opened his eyes, barely half a quarter-hour had passed!

Such a precedent was unheard of. Could it be that... Taiyi Old Ancestor's pupils contracted sharply. Worrying made him reckless, and he suspected that there was a problem with the Legacy.

“Xu Jinhuan, tell me honestly, were you rejected by this Legacy, unable to comprehend it?”

“I will immediately go and arrange other Legacies for you, guaranteed to be not much worse than this one!”

Xu Jinhuan shook his head.

“Thank you for your concern, Old Ancestor. I have already comprehended this Cultivation Technique. Too much is as bad as too little; let's discuss other Legacies later.”

Of course, he intended to acquire the other Legacies as well; he was just postponing it.

“Then tell me the methods and characteristics of the Great Celestial Immortal Technique.”

Taiyi Old Ancestor still did not believe him.

Helpless, Xu Jinhuan used his finger as a brush and wrote in the air.

“The moon hides the Jade Rabbit, the sun hides the Crow. The Spiritual God must be firmly guarded and secured. The tortoise and snake intertwine, planting the Golden Lotus in the fire...”

He wrote smoothly, without the slightest pause, naturally, as if by instinct.

Not only that, but Xu Jinhuan also offered his own evaluation.

“This Cultivation Technique has boundless mysteries and points directly to the Great Dao. It is countless times more profound than all the Cultivation Techniques in the Taiyi Holy Land combined!”

“It's as if this Cultivation Technique doesn't even originate from the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.”

Looking at the hundred and twelve characters floating in the air, Taiyi Old Ancestor was dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.

“Completely mastered? How is that possible...”

“Has this kid gone insane?!”
