Chapter 283: Its Purpose
Although Sect Master Song Jiulai had already understood that these cultivation techniques were not simple.
He hadn’t expected them to be so outrageous.
But upon reflection, it was understandable.
“You can force Spiritual Roots onto people who don’t have them, what’s a mere ancient cultivation technique!”
Moreover, cultivation techniques that could be practiced at the Foundation Establishment Stage likely meant the truly outrageous ones hadn’t been released yet.
Just like the Nine Transformations Dragon Bone on his own body.
Didn’t the System hint that there might be a complete version later?
It wasn’t seen this time!
System: “Isn’t it too early to release it now?”
“Not too early. No one has seen these cultivation techniques before. Without cultivation techniques, what would Players cultivate?” Song Jiulai said with a heavy tone: “What’s more outrageous than these cultivation techniques is that we can’t afford the common cultivation techniques on the market!”
System: “…”
That was true.
Who would believe it if it were said out loud.
Ancient cultivation techniques were just for practicing casually; the real reason was that market cultivation techniques were unaffordable.
“Even if it’s an ancient cultivation technique, if the upgrade reward can be released, it means it’s definitely truly lost. If you dare to release it, why are you afraid of Players cultivating it?”
That was definitely not the reason.
Song Jiulai thought this, his eyes darting around, clearly having something to say.
But she didn’t speak again for a long time.
The System couldn’t hold back: “Are you trying to ask why we have lost cultivation techniques?”
Song Jiulai: “I didn’t ask, you said it yourself!”
System: “…That’s good, I don’t know anyway.”
“…”
Song Jiulai added a patch: “But still warn Players not to reveal the names of the cultivation techniques they are practicing.”
The moves haven’t been seen, but it’s best not to say the names.
Tai Xue Sect already has rumors of the All Beings Technique. Rumors should be avoided.
But the Players clearly didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.
As soon as these cultivation techniques were released, the Sect Channel became lively.
【 Gu Yunxi: Oh wow, we said we didn’t have cultivation techniques before, and now a bunch of new ones have appeared. Is our Sect getting rich? 】
【 Su Daqiang: Obviously the Sect Master is getting rich, not us. 1000 for a beginner Heart Method, is that something a person can exchange for? 】
【 Yang Meimei: Be content, you. In Spirit Stones, that’s only one Mid-grade Spirit Stone. Go look on the market, which Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique will sell to you for one Mid-grade? 】
【 Han Tian: Five-element cultivation techniques, should they be used in combination? 】
【 Zhen Weida: Why have I never heard of these cultivation techniques? Where did the Sect Master find them? 】
【 Zhou Nüzi: Great, I can finally practice a new cultivation technique. Does anyone know about the All Beings Technique? It looks quite powerful. I want to practice this first. Will I achieve equality for all beings if I practice it? 】
As soon as she finished this sentence, a Player privately messaged her.
【 Zhan Sheng 】: The All Beings Technique is a Wood Element-biased support healing cultivation technique, very useful for Spirit Beasts. If you don’t usually follow a Beast Taming support route, don’t rush to practice this.
【 Zhou Nüzi 】: Huh? How do you know?
【 Zhan Sheng 】: Tai Xue Sect’s signature cultivation technique, the Spirit Transformation Art, was derived from a fragment of the All Beings Technique. Tai Xue Sect is a Beast Taming Sect.
【 Zhou Nüzi 】: …
As soon as Zhan Sheng spoke.
Zhou Nüzi’s brain directly crashed.
What the heck?
Tai Xue Sect!?
She knew about it.
The second largest Beast Taming Sect.
A renowned Major Sect.
But this All Beings Technique…
Zhou Nüzi’s pupils suddenly widened.
She immediately understood the terrifying implications contained within.
The small, insignificant Sect she thought it was, unleashed such a powerful cultivation technique right off the bat?
Zhou Nüzi felt utterly bewildered.
【 Zhou Nüzi 】: Is the All Beings Technique a cultivation technique of Liyun Sect?
【 Zhan Sheng 】: No, this is a lost ancient cultivation technique.
Now, Zhou Nüzi’s brain crashed even harder.
Meaning, these five books could all be lost ancient cultivation techniques?
Are ancient cultivation techniques sold for one Mid-grade Spirit Stone in their Sect…
Zhou Nüzi fell silent.
Actually, Zhan Sheng accepted it better than expected.
Ever since they arrived in this Game, they had understood the rules of Yunzhou Continent.
On Yunzhou Continent, if you were born without Spiritual Roots, you had none.
There were also no Pills that could induce Spiritual Roots.
Players possessed the most outrageous capital from the very beginning.
They were all just ordinary people, and in this World, they could cultivate by occupying a Puppet Body.
Who could the native inhabitants of Yunzhou Continent complain to?
And the appearance of ancient cultivation techniques this time further explained something.
Zhan Sheng reminded Zhou Nüzi simply because she hoped that someone at the forefront of combat power wouldn’t waste time practicing unsuitable cultivation techniques.
She thought for a moment, found an excuse, and returned to her room, saying she was going into seclusion to cultivate.
She raised a Fire Crow Beast, in her own Small Courtyard.
Zhan Sheng went over and patted its head, and the Fire Crow Beast looked at her askance.
Zhan Sheng didn’t mind, only saying, “Mommy will be gone for a while.”
Zhan Sheng meditated in her room and logged off. The Fire Crow Beast saw that she was no longer reacting, and the stiff Puppet Body seemed to have lost its soul.
It quietly came next to Zhan Sheng, confirmed she wasn’t reacting, lifted its tail, and farted at Zhan Sheng.
Then it swaggered out of the room.
*
Zhan Sheng logged off and told Liu Wenyu the information she had just obtained.
Liu Wenyu said he understood after hearing it.
The news was then reported to the expert group at the base.
An analysis was quickly reached.
“Lost ancient cultivation techniques, something even Major Sects couldn’t achieve. The System did it, which brings us one step closer to our hypothesis.”
Someone proposed: “The System Seal Theory. These things existed before, and it’s gradually unsealing them by relying on the Sect Master and Players to develop and grow.”
Wei Jun nodded in agreement.
Because this viewpoint was indeed what most people agreed with now.
“Then we can now infer in reverse where the System originated from.” Liu Wenyu tapped three hypotheses on an electronic screen.
“1. The rumored advanced civilization.”
“2. An existence shaped by cultivators who ascended from Yunzhou Continent.”
“3. The most powerful Sect that once existed on Yunzhou Continent. However, this hypothesis can most likely be ruled out. If it were on Yunzhou Continent and had already been destroyed, it’s unlikely they would possess the power to break through dimensions.”
“Ultimately, it converges to one point: its purpose. With such power, it could have found local cultivators to solve these problems. It has the power to control Players, and if it could think of a way, it could also control the original Flying Sparrow Sect.”
Liu Wenyu raised an eyebrow: “Unless the key issue isn’t with the Players and local cultivators, but Sect Master Song Jiulai is the key, and it was Song Jiulai who proposed this method.”
A low murmur of discussion followed.
Someone nodded: “As an intermediary, the Sect Master is certainly crucial.”
Someone laughed: “It wants to rule the World?”
Wei Jun and Liu Wenyu shook their heads simultaneously: “If it had this ability, it would have ruled Yunzhou Continent long ago. What was given at the Foundation Establishment Stage is already this outrageous, and there will definitely be things beyond imagination later. Such strength cannot be resisted by just Yunzhou Continent, so this purpose seems too simplistic.”
