563: Chapter 563
Qin Yun sat cross-legged, and the aura around his body had completely stabilized.
He sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness. The silent azure pagoda, along with the complete and clear ancient characters on its body, was the sole focus of his attention at this moment.
After five years of seclusion, he had finally comprehended the general outline of this Cultivation Technique.
Now, it was time to verify its true power.
Qin Yun held his breath and focused his mind. Following the guidance of that supreme technique, he began to try and draw upon the energy of the world.
However, the next moment, his brows furrowed slightly.
There was no response.
No matter how he circulated his Cultivation Technique or how he used his Divine Thought to connect with the outside world, this world offered no response to him.
"What is going on?"
Qin Yun was not discouraged and tried again.
Once.
Twice.
Ten times.
The result was the same.
His Divine Thought probed deep into the Laws of this world, yet he could never find that source energy capable of resonating with this supreme technique.
There was no problem with the Cultivation Technique.
There was no problem with his own Comprehension Ability or Foundation.
Qin Yun quickly reached a conclusion.
It was this world that had a problem.
This new world, formed by the Fusion of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, although its Laws were more complete than before, and even sufficient to support Cultivators in reaching higher Realms, it still lacked something.
A higher level of source energy, necessary for cultivating this supreme technique.
Qin Yun was silent for a moment.
Give up?
Impossible.
A path leading to the Immortal path was right before him; he would never turn back because of a temporary obstacle.
Since the Laws of this world could not directly support this supreme technique, then he would create one himself—a Cultivation Technique that could operate within this world and point to the same destination.
A light reignited in Qin Yun's eyes.
He did not try to draw upon the power of the world again; instead, he deconstructed the Dao rhymes, concepts, and general outline of that technique in his mind.
Then, he began the Fusion.
Taking his original Foundation, the Azure Heaven Pagoda Record obtained from Jun Yun's lifetime, as the cornerstone.
Taking his self-created Body Scripture, which he had continuously perfected along his journey and was capable of accommodating thousands of Physiques, as the furnace.
Taking the Supreme Scripture, which recorded his own insights as a Great Emperor and had been further derived and sublimated later, as the guide to clarify the direction.
Finally, incorporating part of the essence of that supreme technique as the ultimate guidance.
This was not a simple stacking of Cultivation Techniques.
This was an act of creating a technique that used himself as the Foundation to re-organize his path of cultivation.
Qin Yun's mind was completely immersed in this creation process.
He did not know how much time had passed.
When he opened his eyes again, a brand new Cultivation Technique, completely unique to him and compatible with the Laws of this new world, had taken shape in his mind.
He named this new Cultivation Technique "Immortal Scripture."
...
As soon as the "Immortal Scripture" began to operate, Qin Yun immediately felt the difference.
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth was no longer just passively absorbed but was actively converging toward him through a deeper resonance.
His perception also greatly increased at this moment.
He could clearly "see" the direction of the mountains and earth veins, "hear" the breathing of the Spiritual Qi tides, and even "touch" the veins of the Laws of this world.
It was also at this moment.
A familiar fluctuation came from the distant end of the world, creating a clear resonance with the azure pagoda in his Sea of Consciousness.
Qin Yun's heart stirred.
This fluctuation was exactly the same as the azure pagoda in his memory that suppressed the "Emperor" above the Boundary Sea, and the azure pagoda in the Land of Expedition that he had absorbed.
So that was it.
Qin Yun understood in an instant.
These azure pagodas scattered across the world were not independent entities.
They were all residual sources that had separated from the main tower in his Sea of Consciousness an unknown number of eras ago due to some unknown reason.
A bold and clear goal emerged in his mind.
Find the towers.
Unify them.
He had a strong premonition.
If he could let the azure pagoda find all the scattered sub-towers and return them to one, then whether it was the azure pagoda itself or himself as the host, a huge change would occur.
This was the path he truly needed to walk next.
Qin Yun did not hesitate at all and immediately operated the "Immortal Scripture" with all his might.
His perception, amplified countless times by the Cultivation Technique, followed that homologous fluctuation and began to precisely lock onto the specific location of that sub-tower.
Soon, a vague coordinate appeared in his mind.
Qin Yun immediately broke the Seal of the Immortal Cave and rushed out from underground.
He activated the Immortal Wander Divine Ability.
That pair of magnificent immortal spirit wings unfolded behind him. With a gentle flap, his figure vanished from the spot, speeding toward the direction where the sub-tower was located.
...
Several days later, Qin Yun stepped into a brand new Great Region.
As soon as he entered, he felt that the Laws of heaven and earth here were completely different from the Tianlan Region.
The air was filled with thick Demonic Qi.
Looking around, Demonic Qi soared between the mountains and rivers, huge Yao Beast phantoms appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and countless powerful Yao Race auras were entrenched here, with almost no concealment.
This was the territory of the Yao Race.
In contrast, the Human Race was in decline.
Along the way, Qin Yun could barely see any large-scale Human Race cities.
The occasional Human Race gathering places he encountered were mostly like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, cowering in some inconspicuous corners, barely surviving by relying on remnant Formations, their situation extremely difficult.
He even saw powerful Yao Race members openly treating Human Race Cultivators as slaves, driving them wantonly, with the power of life and death in their hands.
The Human Race here had been reduced to livestock kept in captivity.
Qin Yun's expression gradually turned cold.
He quickly learned from some scattered information that in this Great Region, there was only one place left as the last hope and pure land for the Human Race.
An ancient power named the "Great Xia Holy Dynasty."
In this Great Region rampant with the Yao Race, it preserved a sanctuary for the Human Race, guarding the sparks of the Human Race, and struggling to hold on.
In the process of continuing to explore deeper, Qin Yun keenly noticed a detail.
The Yao Race in this region, whether it was their Cultivation Technique, totems, or the aura revealed in their Bloodline, all made him feel a strange sense of familiarity.
He quickly remembered.
This sense of familiarity originated from the depths of his distant memories—the Yao Race Orthodoxy that had once been powerful during the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths era.
The Northern Plains Demon Court.
This discovery made Qin Yun's heart stir.
The Fusion of the two worlds, it seemed, was not just a geographical splicing; many Karmas and Legacies of the old era had also continued in this new world in another way.
He kept this discovery in his heart and continued to advance in the direction of the sub-tower.
Finally, after passing through more than half of the Yao region, he stopped.
The sensing of the "Immortal Scripture" became incomparably clear at this moment.
The sub-tower he had been painstakingly searching for was right ahead.
However, the final location of the sub-tower made Qin Yun feel a hint of surprise.
It was not in any Forbidden Ground of the Yao Race, nor was it in any ancient ruin.
Instead, it was situated exactly within the territory of that last pure land of the Human Race—the Great Xia Holy Dynasty.
