第五卷 天云十二州 第九百二十六章 领悟秘术

Two light blades merged into a silvery-white blade, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure. Moonlight couldn't help retreating slightly as she revealed a look of shock on her face.

*sizzle*

The silver blade flashed and sliced towards the mysterious jade seal, causing a dazzling silver glow to burst forth with faint ripples of air. Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes involuntarily.

Such a terrifying attack; Lin Xuan estimated that he wouldn't be able to withstand it easily. However, when the spiritual light disappeared, the Five-Dragon Seal remained intact without any cracks.

"What...?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel astonished by this result. He waved his hand and the treasure returned to his palm, a look of joy on his face.

Although Lin Xuan still had no clear idea about the origin of this treasure, one thing was certain: it was definitely something from the Upper Realm. And likely not an ordinary item; even in the Spirit Realm, such things would be considered significant.

He really did get lucky this time.

Since he couldn't figure out its purpose for now, Lin Xuan carefully stored the treasure away. Compared to the vast world of Great Six Continents, Youzhou was just a wilderness. He decided to check ancient texts upon arriving at Yunzhou, which was equivalent to about sixty or seventy Youzhous combined.

A simple gesture and an old-fashioned jade cylinder flew out from his sleeve.

This was the treasure he received from Immortal King Hundred Poisons. It supposedly contained various magical techniques, with Bi Phantasmal Fire being just one of them.

Recalling the power of Immortal Flame, Lin Xuan's expression revealed a hint of eagerness despite his composure. With the Yuan婴 of Primordial Origin in hand, he could finally remove the restrictions on this cylinder.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and a chubby baby appeared on his crown, about an inch in size, clearly much stronger than before.

Originally, when the Yuan婴 separated from its body, the physical form couldn't move. However, as Lin Xuan was a dual-Yuan holder with another demon Yuan婴 residing in his dantian, he wasn't bound by this restriction.

The Yuan婴 sat cross-legged with a solemn expression on its face after it appeared.

Lin Xuan flipped his left hand and a small jade bottle appeared, covered with talismans.

With a flick of his fingers, the talisman fell off, and the lid opened. A black beam shot out from inside.

"Still trying to run?" Lin Xuan sneered as he raised his left hand, sending dozens of sword lights, each about an inch long, slicing through the black beam with lightning speed.

The black light dispersed, falling from mid-air, revealing a pale old Yuan婴.

Needless to say, it was Primordial Origin's Elder!

His face was full of malice, but his aura was extremely weak. This wasn't surprising; anyone's Yuan婴 would suffer significant damage after being confined for so long.

Lin Xuan activated his divine sense, and a green hand appeared in mid-air, grabbing the Yuan婴.

"Why are you doing this? I have no grudge against you. Why treat me like this?" Primordial Origin was greatly surprised to see Lin Xuan's physical form still capable of casting spells after his Yuan婴 separated. Could it be that this was the legendary second Yuan technique? No wonder he possessed such immense power.

"Grudge or not, we indeed had no disputes," Lin Xuan said indifferently.

"If that’s so, why make things difficult for me? If you let me go, I can offer you many benefits. Just say a few hundred thousand crystal stones," Primordial Origin hesitated and showed hope on his face.

"Crystal stones? No need for those; several hundred thousand are not worth my attention. Besides, did I ever promise to release you?"

"You said we had no grudges?" Primordial Origin felt uneasy.

"We have no enmity, but I was entrusted by someone, and I always keep my promises."

"Who is the person who entrusted you?"

"Hmph, since you're about to die, why do you care?" Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with cold light. The Yuan婴 in his head formed a hand gesture, emitting a green glow that enveloped Primordial Origin.

"You..."

Primordial Origin was shocked and could not escape. He was struck by the lightning-green beam and fainted.

"Do not blame me; I did nothing compared to your treacherous methods back then."

Lin Xuan's body flickered with black light, his appearance becoming ghastly. Since he intended to blood-cultivate this opponent, using daoist techniques would be more reliable.

Two hours later, Lin Xuan played with the jade cylinder in his hand. Compared to before, the restrictions had been removed. Primordial Origin's Yuan婴 was long gone, reduced to ashes. The outcome of blood-cultivation was no better than soul-drawing.

Lin Xuan placed the cylinder on his forehead and slowly sank his divine sense into it, eager to see what magical techniques were inside.

There were no obstacles, and a cultivation method appeared before him.

However, Lin Xuan's expression changed as he quickly scanned through it. There was only one secret technique recorded here. How could that be? Immortal King Hundred Poisons had clearly said this treasure, though incomplete from the Upper Realm, contained several techniques. Was he lying?

Lin Xuan's face turned somewhat gloomy.

But then something came to mind, and his body flickered with spiritual light as he concentrated his divine sense.

More text entered his mind, but unlike the previous secret technique, these were very blurry and impossible to decipher, let alone practice them.

However, Lin Xuan's expression relaxed significantly. He gently placed the cylinder down.

Such occurrences in the cultivation world were common; many sects' advanced techniques often had similar issues—blurry text that could only be seen when one's divine sense met certain requirements.

Lin Xuan played with the jade cylinder, his face showing shock.

He was now an intermediate Yuan婴 cultivator, and his divine sense was much stronger than those of his peers. Even compared to late-stage great cultivators, the difference would be minimal.

Yet he still couldn't read it; did that mean only peak later-stage or even Separation Realm monsters could decipher these techniques?

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead with a strange expression, unsure if this should be considered good or bad for him.

But Lin Xuan didn't dwell on it. He focused on understanding the clear technique first. He placed the cylinder back on his forehead and began reading each word carefully.

Although this cultivation method was relatively simple compared to the hidden parts, Lin Xuan still found it difficult to read. It took him a full fortnight just to comprehend it.
