It is because Immortal City has never forgotten the Desolate Regions, and the structure of the Cultivation World owes much to the contribution of ancient great powers. Our mere existence in the Desolate Regions serves as a reminder to the entire Cultivation World, that the existence of the ancient cultivation world, as history, cannot be abandoned.

For no one knows whether there will be another crisis in the future that would reshape the current Cultivation World, so the existence of the Desolate Regions is a warning in itself.

We cultivators, are inherently defying the heavens, contending with the heavens.”

However, what Liang Sheng was thinking about was not these issues. He had already identified a blind spot and eventually couldn’t help but ask.

“So, does our current method of cultivation, which is different from that of the ancient times, require spiritual pills for breaking through realms? In other words, can it be said that ancient cultivators didn’t need spiritual pills to break through realms?”

“Ah?”

This question caught the surrounding alchemists off guard, and they didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Yang to think about this. They then nodded their heads in agreement.

“It seems to be true. Although ancient cultivators did indeed have spiritual pills to aid cultivation, breaking through relied on one’s own abilities and whether they could naturally achieve breakthroughs. Indeed, spiritual pills were not required as a means of assistance.

Now, the cultivation methods are different from those of the ancient times, and even the divisions of the various realms are different. However, 1 didn’t pay much attention to these things before, so I’m not clear about the specific differences.

There were even rumors that, in the early days after the Great Heavenly Change, some great powers with ancient techniques defied the heavens and the earth but met an unexplained demise. It was only when the new methods emerged that the path of cultivation was passed down.”

Hearing this, Liang Sheng had an epiphany, as he seemed to grasp the blind spot of the issue. It seemed that his path of cultivation should not be like this.

Golden Yuan Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, and so on are actually only products of the new generation of cultivators. In the ancient times, cultivating never needed these complicated spiritual pills to break through realms.

That is to say, breaking through with ancient techniques merely required cultivation, and although bottlenecks were barriers on the path of cultivation, spiritual pills were not needed for breaking through realms.

Although he didn’t know what had happened to the ancient era that led to the Great Heavenly Change and caused ancient techniques to become unsuitable for cultivation, what about himself?

He must realize that the biggest difference between him and any other cultivator is that under the Talent of Innocent Foolishness, there are no bottlenecks in all the laws of the world.

If he could enter the ancient cultivation techniques, wouldn’t he only have to face the issue of time and no longer worry about needing spiritual pills to break through realms thereafter?

When this thought occurred to him, Liang Sheng was extremely excited, but he still had two problems to confront.

The first question was how to obtain ancient cultivation techniques, and the second was whether he could still successfully cultivate in this new era after obtaining ancient cultivation techniques.

However, regardless of the outcome, Liang Sheng had to try. Because once successful, his goal of immortality would no longer be a dream.

From then on, he would no longer need spiritual pills to break through realms and would simply have to bide his time. Would he still be concerned about not having enough time in his hands?

What a joke!

Not to mention Nascent Soul Masters, even Divinity Transformation Experts might not have as long a lifespan as him. To him, time is nothing but a number.

With this thought, Liang Sheng forced himself to calm down and asked, “Do our Three Sects and Six Orders still have intact ancient cultivation techniques left?

As you all know, 1 love researching and have a strong curiosity, which is why my alchemy skills are so good.

Not to boast, but it is precisely because of this character that my alchemy skills have been constantly improving and steadily advancing.

If I hadn’t known about these past events, it would have been fine, but now that 1 am aware of them, I want to know what is the difference between ancient cultivation techniques and today’s Cultivation World, and why it led to the collapse of the ancient cultivation era.”

Hearing this, the surrounding alchemists showed their respect. It’s no wonder that Fellow Daoist Yang has such extraordinary skills.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this mindset that he possesses such excellent skills. That is why they immediately nodded and answered Liang Sheng’s question.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Yang. Intact ancient techniques indeed exist. After all, this is the Desolate Region, where ancient great powers experimented and innovated.

Although many of their inheritances are no longer suitable for the current Cultivation Era and their practice might bring about unknown consequences, they are, after all, a record of the era in which they fought.

Thus, our Sects all have ancient techniques recorded in the Scripture Repository, which can be accessed by Foundation Establishment Disciples.

However, it is embarrassing to admit that we have all been single-mindedly focusing on breaking through realms, and few of us share Fellow Daoist Yang’s mindset. We have seldom studied these things and are truly ashamed compared to Fellow Daoist Yang.”

Liang Sheng was extremely delighted to receive this answer, though he tried to suppress his excitement at this moment.

One must not be impatient, as haste does not bring success. At this moment, he was not in the right state to take action, needing to calm down and plan carefully.

Next, Liang Sheng forced himself to be calm and engaged in lively conversation with the Outer Sect alchemists. Everything seemed just as it was before, and the atmosphere was cordial.

After the gathering was over and Liang Sheng returned to his Cave Mansion, he finally began to contemplate the situation from beginning to end.

Perhaps this was the correct way to unlock the talent of Innocent Foolishness. Only one question remained: could he still successfully practice ancient cultivation techniques in this era?

Or to put it simply, under the talent of Innocent Foolishness, was the absence of bottlenecks in all the worldly laws still effective after the Great Heavenly Change?

Liang Sheng had no guarantees in his heart, but he did not hesitate for a moment. He was determined to obtain the ancient techniques.

If the idea failed, he would merely have to start over and look for the materials for the Golden Yuan Pill. Additionally, since he already possessed Third Realm Monster Blood, the Golden Yuan Pill was just a matter of time.

Since he has a way out and getting the ancient techniques isn’t dangerous, and since others don’t pay attention to them, why should he be worried as long as he does not act deliberately?

Of course, at this moment, Liang Sheng had a vague thought in his mind. Perhaps this time, he had found the true way to unlock the Talent of Innocent Foolishness.

However, this question would ultimately need to be answered when he entered the Scripture Repository the next day.

Can ancient cultivation methods still be practiced?
