Chapter 294: Fifteen Years Of Immortal Wu (2)

With that, the group of Heavenly Rankers entered the tower.

The Daoist Scripture Tower was divided into four major sections: qi refining, body refining, general knowledge, and miscellaneous studies. Each section was further subdivided into smaller sections.

The Heavenly Rankers quickly dispersed, searching for teachings suitable or interesting to them.

So one can even circulate qi in this manner through their meridians? The Arctic King sighed inwardly as he read the immortal slip in his hand. Compared to this qi refining method, the method I cultivated is simply trash.

What a pity, if I had cultivated this from the start, I could have established a sixth-degree immortal root. The Arctic King shook his head and sighed.

Once an immortal root was established, it could only be slowly upgraded over time.

However, if I cultivate more profound teachings, I might be able to upgrade my immortal root by one degree once I step into the Golden Core phase.

The stronger one's immortal root, the more difficult it was to upgrade, thus a cultivator who simply wished to raise their seventh or eighth-degree immortal root by one or two degrees would find it relatively easy.

Hm? There's only the first chapter? The Arctic King's expression shifted slightly. I need to provide a two-star contribution to learn this cultivation method?

Two-star contribution, that's ten catties of ethercrystal. Ethercrystal, where am I going to find that? The Arctic King frowned slightly.

Oh? There's another way, I can exchange 500 catties of high-grade etherstone for this cultivation method.

High-grade etherstone was already extremely precious to him. A single catty of high-grade etherstone could be exchanged for 10,000 catties of low-grade etherstone.

Only a small amount of high-grade etherstone is produced in etherstone mines. However, I've accumulated quite a bit over the years.

He was currently stuck in a cultivation bottleneck. No matter how much etherstone or ethercrystal he had, it couldn’t help him break through. It was far more practical to exchange them for better cultivation methods.

...

Flying Sword Art? There’s actually a method that progressively enhances one’s Soul Force telekinesis abilities, leading to better flying sword control? Liu Junxing was equally astonished.

In the past, he struggled to control just three flying swords, but as long as he learned this technique, he would be able to create a basic sword array.

Oh? Ethercrystal is required! Liu Junxing soon realized this criterion as well.

...

"So, the Middle Land is but a small corner of the vast Summerpeak World, which in turn is part of the Greenridge Macrocosm, a vast space encompassing countless spacetimes. Within the boundless river of time and space, it is considered one of the larger macrocosms." Hai Feizhang immersed himself in the wealth of knowledge before him.

Previously, his knowledge was confined to the Summerpeak World. Now, his understanding of the world beyond had broadened exponentially.

...

“Ether arts! Heavens, the Alliance Leader has placed ether arts in the Daoist Scripture Tower.”

“Ether art 'Mountain Mover', ether art 'Four-Armed Form'." The Qiong Sea King and Mountain Devil King were thrilled.

The incomplete inheritances they received included mentions of ether arts, but they were merely records with no clear instructions on how to cultivate them.

"One ether art requires 100 catties of ethercrystal for redemption?" The Qiong Sea King and Mountain Devil King exchanged glances. Both felt that this requirement was a little unreasonable.

Soon, the Qiong Sea King noticed that 50 catties of ethercrystal had already been contributed under his name.

Is this a reward for my loyalty? The Qiong Sea King's heart swelled with joy.

As the ruler of the South Ocean, acquiring 50 catties of ethercrystal was not impossible. After all, he could only cultivate one ether art for now.

...

A short while later, the Heavenly Rankers of the Middle Land began to realize the true value of the Daoist Scripture Tower. Fang Xia's introduction was not an exaggeration but rather an understatement.

The secret techniques guarded by their own sects couldn’t even begin to compare to the ones stored within the Daoist Scripture Tower. Even the simplest teachings available for free could become the cornerstone of their sects, let alone the profound methodologies that required contributions.

For instance, Wu Yuan and Jin Quan were able to easily cultivate sword arrays and control numerous artifacts thanks to their inheritances. Meanwhile, many Heavenly Rankers struggled with controlling just a handful of low-grade flying swords.

This was the power of an inheritance.

Consider the Thousand Swords Array detailed in the 'Dark Earth Sword Array’.

In theory, a Qi Sea cultivator could control 729 flying swords. The gap was staggering!

The only issue that vexed these experts was how they could obtain a sufficient quantity of high-grade etherstone and ethercrystal.

"Apart from ethercrystal and etherstone, various precious metal ores can also be exchanged for these teachings." Some Heavenly Rankers quickly noted this information.

Soon, they received a message from Fang Xia: "The Middle Land is vast, and the four oceans are expansive, teeming with treasures. The Xin Continent is even larger. Venture out and explore the world! Acquire enough treasures, and you may exchange them for teachings."

...

Within a hall in the Middle Land Immortal Hall, Fang Xia delivered the news to Wu Yuan, "Young Master, your orders have been completed. I have disseminated a variety of martial arts teachings, manuals, and qi consumption and refining methods among the martial academies across the various continents, provinces, and counties."

"Before long, those exclusive martial teachings of the major sects will all be worthless.”

Fang Xia continued exuberantly, "Martial arts will flourish in the Middle Land. In just one decade, martial arts prodigies will spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."

"In twenty years, countless martial arts geniuses will emerge. And in 50 years, countless qi refiners will surface.” Fang Xia's voice turned solemn. “Your benevolence will be remembered for eternity."

A slight smile played on Wu Yuan's lips.

The Middle Land of the present day was free from civil unrest. In the near future, the population would burgeon. By spreading various martial arts teachings, they were planting the seeds for the future. All that remained was to await the fruition of their efforts.

...

The years flew by. Apart from spending time with his family and meeting with Heavenly Rankers from various regions, Wu Yuan also occasionally mentored budding martial arts prodigies. The remainder of his days were devoted to cultivation, and his essentia and vital ether steadily increased each day.

Simultaneously, he embarked on journeys across the fifteen continents and four oceans. He tread every corner of the vast Middle Land, observing the customs of diverse regions and the evolution of various life forms, garnering new insights.

Unbeknownst to him, his comprehension of the land and life deepened during these travels.

In the blink of an eye, it was the year 3247 of the Eastern Martial calendar. Fifteen years had elapsed since the Wu Empire's unification of the world. The children who had witnessed Wu Yuan’s rise to power were now adults.

Factions like the Great Jin Empire, the Starcom Consortium, the Wu Sect, and other sects gradually faded into obscurity as the people's faith shifted towards His Majesty the Emperor, the illustrious founder of the empire, Wu Yuan.

Now, the most formidable force in the world was the Middle Land Guard. Heavenly Rankers patrolled the skies and earth, safeguarding the Middle Land. In the hearts of the new generation of martial artists, Wu Yuan's stature surpassed even the ancient Martial King.

This heralded the dawn of a new era - the era of Immortal Wu.

...

On this day, within a meditation chamber on Archeldritch Mountain, Wu Yuan immersed himself in cultivation.

"Master, the Star Embryonic Body has completed the incubation stage," Little Black's jubilant voice resonated in Wu Yuan's mind.
