Chapter 336: Chapter 52: Thirty Years of Cultivation in the Small World, the Stone Stele Reappears and Reflects

Mirror world.

The sunlight inside was still gentle and incredibly dazzling.

Zhao Huai had spent a long time searching through the abandoned ruins beneath the valley, hoping to find more precious treasures in the forgotten debris. Unfortunately, it proved difficult.

The ruins had been left undisturbed for too long, and the magical weapons stored within had become nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

After all, just the immortal medicine garden alone had already granted him immeasurable benefits.

“It seems like this place was used to store cultivation techniques.”

Zhao Huai came across a broken palace containing jade slips. He found several damaged jade slips on a cabinet, and even the best Nurturing Spirit Jade couldn’t withstand the erosion of a thousand years. If they weren’t replaced in time, they would deteriorate all the same.

Without a doubt, Zhao Huai picked up a fallen jade slip and discovered that it had lost its original luster, becoming dark and dull, rendering the cultivation technique stored within unreadable.

He was initially excited, as so many cultivation techniques from the prosperous age of Immortal Cultivation over a thousand years ago could make him invincible if he mastered them all.

“At least they are Nurturing Spirit Jade, which contain spiritual qi. I might as well take them to nourish the Treasured Mirror, which should extend its duration.”

Adhering to a frugal and thrifty attitude, Zhao Huai gathered up all the jade slips on the ground and tucked them into the black ring.

As he took the jade slips off the cabinet, the stone wall in front of him cracked because the cabinet lost its support. Unable to restrain itself from collapsing, a thin slit of light appeared, catching his attention.

“Is this… hollow inside?”

Zhao Huai exclaimed in surprise.

He paused from collecting the Nurturing Spirit Jade, stretched out his hand, and in a flash, golden light swirled around his palm as he struck the cracked wall.

The stone wall instantly crumbled, revealing an interior scene: a separate secret room.

It was pitch black with no light whatsoever, but where did that slit of light come from just now?

Zhao Huai strode in and discovered that this secret room was a unique Immortal’s Cave.

Originally, the secret room had eight sides, but one side was smashed by him, leaving only seven. The light coming from the wall was actually from tadpole-like characters written on it.

It was unknown what method was used to etch these characters onto the walls, but each character emanated a not-so-weak divine aura.

Zhao Huai gazed at the characters, eager to decipher their content.

At first, just a glance gave him a headache.

But the destiny of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top in his sea of consciousness began to operate, gradually easing the symptoms. Meanwhile, the [Human Immortal Body] started to exert its power, beginning to interpret the content.

“These are Divine Skills, and not just one!”

After a while of careful observation, Zhao Huai exclaimed in shock.

Who would have thought that within the wall storing cultivation techniques, there were still hidden skills?

Despite having been preserved for thousands of years, they were still legible to descendants. Although the characters were somewhat blurred, the overall content remained largely intact.

Each of the eight walls was covered in densely packed characters.

The practice of etching techniques onto stone was primitive but effective.

People had come up with various methods to protect their legacies, such as writing books, engraving Nurturing Spirit Jade, and hiding them in unusual landscapes, but this method was the simplest and had the longest preservation time.

It could last for tens of thousands of years, with the only disadvantage being the space it took up and difficulties in storage.

Over a hundred types of cultivation techniques on the shelves had completely degraded, while only three techniques were preserved in the vast interior space of the secret chamber.

Zhao Huai studied the stone walls carefully and quickly memorized the characters. Even though he had smashed a section of the wall, he could restore its original appearance by using his Human Immortal talent.

There were three techniques in total, namely: Black and Yellow qi, Immortal Burial, and Dragon-Transformation Skill.

Black and Yellow qi was a cultivation technique for the body. Once a cultivator practiced it and refined a wisp of Black and Yellow Immortal qi, their flesh body would reach its pinnacle and become invulnerable.

There were also details on how to circulate qi and chant the secret mantra.

Wishing to condense a Ninth Stage in the Golden Core Realm?

Zhao Huai was dumbfounded.

This technique seemed quite impressive.

Not only did it teach how to condense a Ninth Stage Golden Core, but it also specifically explained how to form a perfect Rebirth Realm and awaken the Primordial Spirit. The Rebirth Realm and Metamorphosis Stage detailed within it were also incredibly beneficial.

His breathing couldn’t help but become rapid as he looked at the second technique, Immortal Burial.

The name sounded domineering. It should be excellent. Soon, Zhao Huai found a keyword among the countless characters: ‘price.’

“By sacrificing something in return for immense power, for example, sacrificing essence and blood, sentient beings’ flesh bodies, etc., the technique has a tremendous cost, and one must be extremely cautious when using it.” Zhao Huai carefully recited to strengthen his memory.

Turns out this was a sacrificial divine skill?

This required sacrificing the lives of sentient beings and sounded somewhat like the evil way of cultivation.

However, it also seemed different, as it appeared to control the range of the sacrifices. It could be used as a means of survival.

Zhao Huai felt that it was better to minimize the use of this divine skill.

His gaze shifted to the last one: the Dragon-Transformation Skill.

As the name suggests, it was a transformational divine skill.

Once a cultivator learned it, their flesh body could transform into a True Dragon form, temporarily obtaining the powerful flesh body of the Demon Race, capable of crushing Heaven and Earth.

Zhao Huai immediately thought of Ao Jiu, if he could transform into a True Dragon in a short time, then he could contend with those from the Demon Race.

After briefly understanding these three techniques, Zhao Huai withdrew his focus and inspected the place. Once certain that there was nothing else left, he left the area.

He returned to his original starting point.

He had no intention of picking all the immortal medicines at once, because he currently could not withstand the impact of the medicinal power. If he consumed them, he would likely explode and die.
