The Heavenly Devil Old Man, Zhu Ganglie, Xiao Mingchu, and the others brought Mo Qingtong, Huo Gang, and Fatty Zhu to the Yaoxia Tower's mission issuance area.
Not only Mo Qingtong, Huo Yang, and Fatty Zhu, the three rookies, needed to accept missions, but Fang Ling and Dongfang Qin also wanted to accept some missions to earn contribution points.
Only Xiao Han and Blackbird were left in the private room.
"Xiao Han, do you want to go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a secret manual?" Wu Yu asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Xiao Han nodded. After thinking for a few breaths, he said.
"Sect Master, this disciple's greatest trump card is my flesh shell … and … the demon race's secret technique … In terms of true qi cultivation, this disciple is still too weak.
I knew that the flesh shell and the secret arts of the Demon Race were ultimately unorthodox and not the righteous path.
This disciple must work hard to improve his True Qi cultivation.
Otherwise, he would be overtaken by others sooner or later.
Furthermore, this disciple knows that to become an immortal and to prove one's Dao, one must cultivate true qi!
This was the only way!
If you don't cultivate your True Qi, you won't become an immortal! "
Wu Hu stared at Xiao Han and said.
"Xiao Han, your current problem isn't that you lack true energy techniques, but that your true energy level is too low.
You have opened 36 acupoints in your body and you are only at the fourth level of True Qi. Even if you were given a top-notch True Qi Divine Art manual, you wouldn't be able to cultivate it. "
Xiao Han was taken aback.
"My realm isn't high enough." Wu Yu smiled.
"The difference between Level Five and Level Six is like the difference between heaven and earth.
There was a fundamental difference.
If he didn't ascend to the sixth stage of true qi, he would forever be a low-level Yao Xia. He wouldn't be able to make it to the top 5000 of the Yao Xia Ranking.
Fang Ling and Dongfang Qin were already outstanding among those at the fifth level of True Qi.
But they can only hover outside the top 5000 of the Monster Man List. "
"A true peerless divine art.
He had to reach the sixth stage of true qi.
Only then could he cultivate.
Even those at the pinnacle of the fifth level of zhenqi would not be able to see through it.
This is also the reason why we haven't taught Fang Ling and Dongfang Qin the ultimate skill, the Great Eight Unity Qi. "Wu Yu said indifferently.
"Xiao Han, our sect has already prepared to gift you with a few True Qi Divine Skill manuals. However, your cultivation level is too low, so you can't cultivate them.
Wait until you reach the sixth stage of True Qi. "
"Level 6 zhenqi.
Also known as the Acupoint Expansion realm.
Expanding the capacity of the True Acupoints.
Now, I will simply tell you that the expansion of acupoints depends on one's talent, root bone, and fortuitous encounters.
Some martial artists at the sixth stage of true qi could only expand their acupoints by a few times, while others could expand their acupoints by ten times.
To be able to expand one's acupoints by 50 times, one could be called a heaven-sent monster, a genius that could shock the world.
If my memory serves me right, there has been a case in the history of the Zhenwu Continent that successfully expanded the acupoint by 80 times.
There was even a legend that it could expand the acupoints by 95 times.
But they were as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
It's a rare sight. "
"Ninety-five times?" Xiao Han was shocked!
The capacity of his True Acupoint had been expanded by 95 times!
How much true energy could it contain?
It was definitely not a small matter!
After the acupoints were expanded, the amount of true qi contained in one or two true acupoints would be more than the amount of true qi contained in all the true acupoints of the body at the fifth level of true qi!
At Expanded Acupoint realm, the slightest release of zhenqi is sufficient to cover the entire world, illuminating the world with a divine radiance!
From the looks of it, the difference between Level 6 and Level 5 zhenqi was like the difference between the heavens and the earth, and could not be compared at all.
"Sect Leader, you said that all peerless divine arts require one to expand their acupoints and have an abundant amount of true qi before one can cultivate it?" Xiao Han asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Wu Yu nodded his head.
"There are many martial artists in the world, but those who can reach the sixth stage of true qi and proceed with the expansion of acupoints are few and far between.
The seventh stage of true qi is also known as the 'Talisman Materialization Realm'. It allows one to transform the true qi in one's body into 'True Talismans', greatly raising the quality of one's true qi.
The talismans within one's true qi are formed, and with just a slight strike, the space around them will warp, destroying everything in its path. Furthermore, the incomparably profound intent contained within the talismans can destroy mountains and rivers, and even ghosts and deities. It's an easy feat. "
As he spoke, Wu Yu flipped his right hand and opened his palm. A small ball of true qi appeared in the center of his palm.
"This?"
Xiao Han stared dumbfoundedly at the ball of true qi. It seemed to contain many laws and principles within the ball of true qi, and its luster resembled that of an exquisite nectar. Flowing within the ball of true qi were jade-like runes that exuded an ethereal charm. Some of these runes were in the shape of mountains, some were in the shape of birds, some were in the shape of flames, and some were in the shape of dragons and snakes.
"True Talismans?" Xiao Han shivered in fear.
"The quality is too high!
Sect Leader, the quality of the ball of true qi in your palm doesn't seem to belong to the mortal world. There are traces of supreme divine energy within it, and just a sliver of it is enough to create a phenomenon in the world! "
Wu Yu casually grabbed the ball of true qi and destroyed it. "The Expanded Acupoint realm is still just a foundation. Once the foundation is built up, one can attempt to break through to the seventh stage of true qi, the Talisman Materialization realm. Once one's zhenqi is transformed into True Talismans, one will be able to cause the heavens to crumble and the earth to crumble!"
Xiao Han was mesmerized by Wu Yu's words.
Zhenqi Stage 6, Expanded Acupoint realm.
Zhenqi Stage 7, Talisman Materialization realm.
"Alright, Xiao Han, the higher realms are Zhenqi Stage 8 and Zhenqi Stage 9. I won't talk about them for now.
You should accumulate your strength and reach Zhenqi Stage 6 first.
If you want to take a look at the Scripture Depository, I'll accompany you there now.
However, don't expect to be able to buy any decent secret manuals there.
Firstly, your cultivation level is not high enough. Secondly, the true top-notch secret manuals require at least a few hundred thousand or even a million contribution points, "Wu Yu said with a straight face.
"Then … then I'll just go and take a look …" Xiao Han was a little disinterested.
"Let's go."
The two of them teleported back to the first floor of the Yaoxia Pagoda and randomly chose a floor of the Scripture Depository, Level 101.
300 contribution points were used to teleport.
Yaoxia Pagoda, Level 101.
Scripture Depository region.
The spacious 101st floor was filled with beautiful and dreamy rays of light.
Every scarlet glow was wrapped in a book.
Xiao Han took a quick glance and was speechless.
Just on this 101st floor alone, there were hundreds of thousands, or even millions of martial arts manuals stored here!
In the outside world, ordinary sects, even those with tens of thousands of years of heritage, would only collect tens of thousands of martial arts secret manuals, including a large number of low-level secret manuals for Physical Body Realm martial artists.
However, the number of secret manuals on just one floor of the Yaoxia Pagoda was more than a million.
More than a million!
One had to know.
In the Yaoxia Pagoda.
The 101st to 300th floors were all part of the Scripture Depository. How many secret manuals would there be?
Just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle!
The Yaoxia Pagoda's heritage was too terrifying!
It was frightening!
"Oh?
Is that Brother Wu? "
A middle-aged man in linen clothes with golden light surging around his body. His aura was as oppressive as a god's, and there were characters floating in his eyes.
It was terrifying.
He walked over slowly and greeted Wu Yu.
"Brother Xia, long time no see. How have you been?" Wu Yu smiled.
"Oh?
This young man is Xiao Han, right?
The most talented young man in this year's Yaoxia Contest. "The middle-aged man in linen clothes looked at Xiao Han in a friendly manner." Not bad, not bad at all. "
"Greetings, Senior." Xiao Han bowed slightly.
"You don't have to be so polite, Xiao Han. Choose the secret manuals yourself." The middle-aged man in linen clothes smiled.
"All the secret manuals on this floor will be shown in the free information column of your Yaoxia Token.
You can check them yourself and choose the one you want.
Just tell me directly. "
"Yes …" Xiao Han nodded, and then his soul force seeped into his Yaoxia Token.
The densely packed names of martial art manuals and the required contribution points started surging up …
"Heaven-Wasteland Old True Qi, Level Six True Qi and above, five million contribution points.
"Aurora Freezing Divine Fist, Level Six True Qi and above, two million contribution points.
"Doomsday Palm, Level Six True Qi and above, two million contribution points.
"Unbreakable Immortal Body, Body Refining Technique, five million contribution points.
Fire Emperor Body Refining Technique, five million contribution points. "
…
"Sun Dominating Blade, Level Six True Qi and above, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Heavenly Demon Body Refining Technique, Body Refining Technique, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Blazing Divine Shield, Defense Technique, Level Six True Qi and above, two hundred thousand contribution points."
"Seven Samadhi True Fire, Level Six True Qi and above, two hundred thousand contribution points."
…
"Whale Swallowing True Qi, Level Five True Qi and above, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Galaxy Blast Slash, Level Five True Qi and above, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Golden Dragon Body, Body Refining Technique, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Vast Yang True Fire, Level Five True Qi and above, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Great Light Divine Fist, Level Five True Qi and above, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Heavenly Sound of Brain Breaking, Level Five True Qi and above, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"Ice Soul Chilling Body Technique, Body Refining Technique, five hundred thousand contribution points."
"…"
There were as many true qi and body refining techniques on this floor as there were stars in the sky. Xiao Han was dazzled, but he kept shaking his head.
Just like what Wu said, the secret manuals in the Scripture Pavilion were too expensive. They could easily cost hundreds of thousands of contribution points, and there were even millions of contribution points.
Even the cheapest one would cost tens of thousands of contribution points.
Furthermore, Xiao Han's cultivation realm was not high enough. Even if he bought the secret manuals, he would not be able to cultivate them.
"Heh …" The middle-aged man in linen clothes smiled faintly as he looked at the man's expression.
"Xiao Han, you don't have to rush.
You have just become a Devil Hero and do not have any foundation. When your cultivation realm is higher and you reach the Expanded Acupoint Realm, you can choose the secret manuals again.
By then, you should have accumulated quite a lot of contribution points.
You are talented, and it is only a matter of time before you become famous. "
"Er …" Xiao Han nodded his head blankly.
At this moment, Xiao Han scanned the area with his soul and found a secret manual …
"Nameless Secret Manual, an ancient remnant, suspected to be an immortal art. However, there is only one page and it is incomplete. No one can cultivate it. Forcefully cultivating it will cause one to go berserk and explode. Suspected to be a body refining technique.
Ten thousand contribution points. "
"Alright, Xiao Han, let's go now.
Let's go to the Mission Announcement Area and see if there are any suitable missions for you, "Wu said with a smile.
"Brother Wu, we will meet again," the middle-aged man in hemp clothes said with a smile.
"Wait … Wait …" Xiao Han licked his lips.
In an instant, his mind was in turmoil.
"An incomplete secret manual?
An incomplete martial arts manual passed down from the ancient times?
There is only one page and no one can cultivate it successfully?
The Invincible Golden Body, Seven Fragment Saber Art, Son of Heaven's Divine Fist, Nine Revolutions Divine Art are all incomplete. They were triggered by the mysterious seal on the demon egg, thus completing them … This … This … "
"Xiao Han?" Wu looked at Xiao Han doubtfully.
"Sect Master, please wait a moment."
Xiao Han's heart was beating wildly. He forcefully suppressed his restless and uncontrollable emotions and pretended to be calm as he said to the middle-aged man in hemp clothes.
"Senior, I would like to buy the incomplete ancient secret manual. It is worth ten thousand contribution points."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man's body trembled. "This?
Xiao Han, the incomplete manual you mentioned can't even be called a secret manual.
It is an incomplete manual that a Devil Hero found in an ancient ruin. It is extremely dilapidated and the words and pictures on it have been eroded and destroyed.
After being identified by a mighty who ranked in the top 100 on the Devil Hero List, this remnant might be a body-refining technique, or even a legendary magic art. However, it had been corroded and damaged by the passage of time, and no one could clearly recognize the handwriting on the remnant.
It is even more impossible for me to cultivate it.
This is an incomplete manual and only has some commemorative value. Spending ten thousand contribution points to buy this incomplete manual is … really unwise. "
"This … I only have about twenty thousand contribution points in my Devil Hero Token. Since I can't buy any secret manuals, I might as well buy the incomplete ancient manual that is worth ten thousand contribution points. Even if I can't cultivate it, isn't it quite meaningful to take it back and paste it?
After all, it is something passed down from the ancient times … "Xiao Han said nonsense.
The other Devil Heroes who were choosing secret manuals on this floor also heard Xiao Han's words. They all stopped and looked at Xiao Han with slight mockery …
"This guy actually wants to buy that incomplete manual … Spending ten thousand contribution points just like that and it is meaningless.
How many Demon Generals does he have to kill to earn ten thousand contribution points?
Really … It is better to find a few lively little beauties in the resting area to have some fun. "
"These rookies are really naive. Do they think they can cultivate a peerless divine skill just by randomly finding an incomplete ancient manual?
God knows how many Devil Heroes have studied that incomplete manual but to no avail. It has long been appraised as a waste. How dare he insist on buying it? "
…
"Xiao Han, studying this kind of ghost talisman passed down from the ancient times might cause you to be possessed by the devil." Wu Yu reminded.
"This … doesn't matter.
This disciple just wants to have some fun. "Xiao Han insisted.
"Then … alright, it's up to you." Wu Yu looked at Xiao Han with scrutiny.
"If that's the case … alright." The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a ball of light from the void.
Within the light, there was an ancient mottled beast skin scroll. It was faintly discernible that there were some characters written on it. They did not look like characters from the human world.
However, it was really rotten. The edges were wrinkled and full of mold. It emitted the smell of dust from history. Of course, it also emitted a choking stench.
"Xiao Han, are you sure you want to buy this incomplete manual?" The middle-aged man asked solemnly.
"Once you make a deal, you can't go back on your word. Do you understand?"
"Uh …" Xiao Han swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
However, at this moment, Xiao Han's heart twitched and throbbed!
"Poof!"
The seal on the surface of the demon egg that was wrapped around Xiao Han's heart suddenly broke into pieces.
This was the fifth seal that had been broken!
Compared to the previous four seals that had been broken, the fifth seal that had been broken was bigger and had a stronger aura!
Once it was broken, a surge of desolate divine power would burst out and break free from the shackles. The sound of drums and harps would be heard and the sound of celestial music could be heard!
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The seal and the fifth seal that was wrapped around the demon egg suddenly broke into pieces!
Clouds were steaming and rosy!
The aura of the fifth seal was extremely strong. Once it was broken, a crack would appear on the surface of the demon egg and billowing demonic qi would seep out!
"Oh no!
This fifth seal is incomparable to the previous four seals! "
Xiao Han's heart was pounding. In a split second, he mobilized all the Spirit Turtle True Qi in his body and madly filled the crack on the surface of the egg.
At the same time, on the ancient scroll, a few huge characters that were full of celestial qi appeared …
"Art of Ten Thousand Beasts"
These characters were definitely not characters from the human world. However, it was strange that Xiao Han could understand them.
"Xiao Han, what's wrong?" Wu Yu and the middle-aged man asked at the same time.
…
…
… (To be continued …)
