Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 438: Techniques
Following the guidance on the map, Fang Hong quickly found the nearest Teleportation Array.
He lightly swiped his identity token across the crystal next to the Teleportation Array, which immediately activated, enveloping his body in immortal light.
The next moment, Fang Hong appeared atop another mountain peak.
This peak was named "Shuhai Peak," and the Dao Lineage’s Scripture Pavilion was located here.
As soon as Fang Hong stepped out of the Teleportation Array, he was drawn by the sight before him; outside the array was an extremely spacious plaza.
Hundreds of small dueling platforms were scattered across the plaza, and many Dao Lineage disciples were currently sparring and exchanging techniques on them.
Various immortal techniques flashed, roars echoed throughout the plaza, and the disciples exchanged insights and discussed immortal arts, creating a lively scene.
At the end of the plaza stood a magnificent giant tower with a grand Aura.
The giant tower was hundreds of zhang tall, constructed entirely of an unknown dark jade, emitting a weighty and mysterious presence.
At the very top of the tower hung a massive plaque, inscribed with the three characters "Scripture Pavilion."
The calligraphy was vigorous and powerful, faintly revealing the essence of immortal Laws, inspiring awe in those who looked upon it.
The Scripture Pavilion had a total of six floors, each floor being remarkably tall, appearing solemn and majestic from afar.
According to the Dao Lineage rules, ordinary Dao Lineage disciples could only enter the first three floors of the Scripture Pavilion to consult basic immortal methods and technique manuals.
Only Cultivators who reached the Immortal King Realm and became an Elder of the Dao Lineage were qualified to enter the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, accessing the more profound and precious core Dao Laws and secret manuals.
Fang Hong stepped into the Scripture Pavilion, and a rich scholarly scent washed over him.
Upon entering the pavilion, what met his eyes were rows upon rows of neatly arranged massive bookshelves.
These bookshelves were crafted from hard, ancient millennium wood, several zhang high, standing firmly on the ground or suspended in the air.
Each shelf was filled with various books and jade slips, categorized very clearly and marked with distinct labels.
There were texts specifically recording immortal method incantations, detailed explanations of immortal technique applications, and classics covering astronomy, geography, strange tales, and insights on alchemy and artifact refining.
The collection was considerably rich; this was the largest Scripture Pavilion Fang Hong had ever seen.
Fang Hong casually pulled a few texts from a nearby shelf and quickly flipped through them.
The books recorded only Entry-Level foundational immortal methods, which held no reference value for him, having already advanced to the Mid-stage Immortal King.
Since there was nothing worthwhile on the first floor, Fang Hong did not linger.
He returned the texts to their original spot and, without stopping, walked straight up the wooden stairs toward the sixth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
In this Scripture Pavilion, the height of the floor directly corresponded to the preciousness of the inheritance.
The higher he went, the more profound the stored Dao Laws and secret manuals became.
Relying on his Immortal King Elder identity token, Fang Hong proceeded unimpeded, successfully reaching the sixth floor shortly thereafter.
As soon as he stepped onto the sixth floor, the sight before him was completely different from the lower levels.
There were no dense bookshelves here, nor were there mountains of texts.
The entire space was wide and empty, with only dozens of tall stone pillars standing within it.
These stone pillars were deep cyan throughout, their surfaces covered in dense writing.
This method of engraving text onto stone pillars to record a inheritance was something Fang Hong had seen many times before and was not unfamiliar with.
At this moment, he was not the only one on the sixth floor; there were ten other Immortal King Elders of the same rank scattered beside the various stone pillars, selecting Dao Laws with focused expressions.
Fang Hong did not step forward to disturb the Elders, instead walking by himself to an unattended stone pillar, looking at the inscription on the column, and beginning to examine it carefully... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
After only the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Fang Hong had finished reading all the content on the first stone pillar, and he couldn’t help but marvel secretly.
This stone pillar completely recorded a top-tier Dao Law named "Burning Heaven Flame Emperor Art."
Just hearing the name, one could sense the magnificent Aura contained within it.
This was clearly a fire-attribute exclusive Dao Law that could be Cultivated directly up to the Immortal Emperor realm.
"Indeed, joining the Dao Lineage was the most correct choice." Fang Hong sighed with emotion.
Such a high-level Immortal Emperor Dao Law possessed infinite power; if placed in an external merchant association, it might not be obtainable even by spending astronomical amounts of Immortal Stones.
After thoroughly reviewing the "Burning Heaven Flame Emperor Art," Fang Hong’s horizons broadened once again, and he finally understood the specific path of Cultivation above the Immortal King.
According to the records in the Dao Law, the core of the Immortal King Realm was to cultivate "dao patterns," constantly comprehending the Great Dao to condense dao patterns containing Great Dao Power within the body.
When the dao patterns accumulated to a certain extent, one could attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
The key to advancing to the Immortal Emperor was condensing the "Dao Foundation," completely transforming the internal dao patterns into a stable Dao Foundation.
If dao patterns merely touched the threshold of the Great Dao, barely glimpsing a trace of the Great Dao’s true meaning, then the Dao Foundation was truly stepping into the Dao.
It is worth mentioning that the Dao Foundation condensed by every Immortal Emperor was unique.
The strength or weakness of the Dao Foundation was closely related to the number of Great Dao Laws the Cultivator had Cultivated.
The more Great Dao Laws Cultivated and the deeper the comprehension, the more stable and powerful the condensed Dao Foundation would be, leading to higher future achievements.
And above the Dao Foundation was the "Dao Heart."
Only by further deepening one’s understanding of the Great Dao, fully realizing one’s original heart, and achieving harmony between the heart and the Dao.
Only then could the immortal path become more stable, which was the core key to advancing to the Immortal Emperor realm.
However, there was no record in the "Burning Heaven Flame Emperor Art" regarding the legendary Celestial Venerable realm above the Immortal Emperor.
Presumably, the Immortal Emperor who created this method had not reached that level either.
Fang Hong quickly gathered his thoughts, no longer dwelling on those distant realms.
He took out his Elder identity token and lightly pressed it against the surface of the stone pillar.
The identity token instantly emitted a soft light, resonating with the writing on the pillar, and began rapidly copying the "Burning Heaven Flame Emperor Art."
In just a short while, the copying was complete.
Fang Hong put away his identity token and turned to walk toward the next stone pillar to continue examining the Dao Law recorded on it.
His current Cultivation was only at the Middle Stage Immortal King, the Immortal Emperor realm was still distant, and the Celestial Venerable realm was even more illusory.
The most important thing now was to focus on the present, carefully figuring out how to condense the Dao Foundation and strive to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm as soon as possible.
Over the following period, Fang Hong examined the content on each stone pillar one by one, and the shock in his heart grew stronger.
The Dao Laws recorded on these stone pillars were all top-tier Immortal Emperor level, covering various attributes.
Whether it was the basic Five Elements Great Dao of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, or special Great Daos like Wind, Thunder, and Ice, everything was available, and every single one possessed formidable power.
