Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 666 - 357: Soul Control Technique, New Divine Techniques_2

The only possibility is that Chu Tiange knew his identity from the very beginning.

"Uh... you must have known about that a long time ago!" Lu Yu didn't know what to say.

Chu Tiange thought briefly and knew what Lu Yu meant. He nodded and said, "Yes, after coming out of the Soldiers' Secret Realm, I knew."

"Back then, you hid so deeply that I couldn't even tell you had such strong power." Chu Tiange still felt a bit shocked as he spoke.

The impression that the Sword God's image left on him was extremely deep, almost getting him killed by the Sword God's image.

But now, he was confident enough to battle the Sword God's image.

Previously, it was because his bloodline hadn't awakened that he was relentlessly chased by the Sword God's image. Now his bloodline has awakened, significantly boosting his power, so even when facing the Sword God's image of the same realm, he felt no fear.

The Sword God's talent was indeed strong, but in the Soldiers' Secret Realm, there were also images comparable to the Sword God, just not as famous. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The fundamental reason is that the Sword God grew and did not perish halfway.

Thus, the Sword God's image became legendary.

Otherwise, it would probably have been "an image of a strong Sword Cultivator" rather than the renowned Sword God's image.

Chu Tiange's pursuit wasn't to defeat the Sword God's image but to follow in the Sword God's footsteps, aiming to defeat the real Sword God one day.

On the path of cultivation, who doesn't seek the name of the strongest?

Without the courage to challenge the strong, one won't get far on the path of cultivation.

Throughout history, every renowned powerful figure has walked a path far surpassing their predecessors.

Lu Yu was seen by him as a rival who could journey alongside him on the path of cultivation, for having a rival allows one to travel faster and further on this path.

Therefore, Chu Tiange took Lu Yu seriously.

Lu Yu thought to himself, where had he hidden any power back then? Being able to perish together with the Sword God's image was due to the temporary boost in power from the Soldiers' Secret Realm.

He found it hard to explain this to Chu Tiange, so he changed the topic and asked, "Did you come here to find me?"

"Yes." Chu Tiange nodded and glanced at the invitation on the table, saying, "It seems someone came before me. I arrived a step too late."

"Uh." Lu Yu scratched the back of his head. To be honest, when he accepted this invitation, he was a bit bewildered.

He accepted the invitation in a daze, and then the person who sent it left hurriedly without giving Lu Yu a chance to inquire.

With a thought, Lu Yu realized that Chu Tiange was from the Chu Royal Mansion, and Zhou Hong was from the Zhou Royal Mansion. The two might know each other. Lu Yu stepped forward, picked up the invitation on the table, and asked,

"Do you know Zhou Hong?"

Saying this, he opened the invitation and handed it to Chu Tiange to see.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiange's eyes flickered. He took the invitation, glanced at it, returned it to Lu Yu, and said, "I know him, but not very well."

"My brother is quite familiar with Zhou Hong's brother, but they probably don't know much about Zhou Hong's matters either. I've heard some things—Zhou Hong seems to be a cultivation fanatic."

"Back then, Zhou Hong also challenged the Sword God's image and was narrowly defeated. He probably holds a grudge about it. You accomplished something he didn't, so him looking for you might be because he wants to have a match with you."

Chu Tiange paused for a moment and pondered before saying, "But I don't think it's that simple."

"The Zhou Royal Mansion inviting you to the imperial city so ostentatiously is probably related to that matter."

"That matter?" Lu Yu asked, puzzled.

Chu Tiange glanced around and said, "You'll know when the time comes. It's not convenient for me to say now."

After chatting for a while longer, Chu Tiange took his leave and left the small courtyard. Before leaving, he reminded Lu Yu to inform him when he arrived in the imperial city, as he wanted to show Lu Yu around.

After Chu Tiange left, Lu Yu returned to the small courtyard and saw Kwee Defa looking as if he was hesitant to speak. He understood what he was thinking.

So he said, "Senior Brother, don't worry too much. What you should know, you'll eventually find out. What's not meant to be known, even knowing early doesn't bring any good."

When he said the last sentence, Lu Yu felt particularly touched.

He didn't know if knowing the apocalyptic scene of demons and monsters in advance was a blessing or a curse.

Even though he had previously consoled himself and adjusted his mindset, he could never return to the relaxed state he once had, always feeling a pressure, like the sky might fall at any moment.

The Great Sage's power was close to transcendence, yet he couldn't resolve the root cause of the demon disaster.

Lu Yu was unsure of how strong the Great Sage's near-transcendent power was, what realm of strength it had achieved.

But he could vaguely feel that the Great Elder, who had shown him the true face of the Netherworld, was definitely no weaker than Zhao Tianjue.

Zhao Tianjue could effortlessly tear open space and travel thousands of miles in an instant, and the Great Elder could easily do the same.

Their realms exceeded Lu Yu's understanding, and he couldn't compare who was stronger or weaker.

The Great Elder and his group, immensely powerful as they were, could only survive in seclusion on Silent Island.

This meant that before the apocalypse arrived, he needed to elevate his power to at least the realm of the Great Elder to survive the catastrophic end times.

But Lu Yu didn't want to just survive; he needed greater power.

Kwee Defa saw Lu Yu speak like this, opened his mouth, sighed lightly, and said, "Alright, I'll head back first. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," Lu Yu replied.

After Kwee Defa left, Lu Yu turned and left the small courtyard, heading to the Pavilion of Teachings.

With his Saint Heir's status, he could learn almost all of the Pavilion of Teachings' secret techniques for free.

When he presented his Saint Heir's exclusive identity token, the elder guarding the Pavilion of Teachings stood up, took a deep look at Lu Yu to remember his appearance, and allowed him to go upstairs.

Although the Pavilion of Teachings was very important, the elder in charge of the bottom five floors held a position that was only moderately high.

It was the elders managing the core area above the sixth floor who were the true guardians of the Pavilion of Teachings.

The elders below mostly handled the daily affairs of the Pavilion of Teachings.

"Saint Heir..." The elder from the Pavilion of Teachings sat back at a distance, watching Lu Yu's figure disappear up the stairs.

Though the Divine Weapon Pavilion had announced Lu Yu's status as a Saint Heir, they hadn't publicized it widely, so most elders had only heard his name but hadn't seen him in person.

On the top floor of the Pavilion of Teachings, an elder was meditating at the center of an open space. When Lu Yu showed his identity token and walked upstairs, he opened his eyes.

The floors seemed nonexistent in his eyes as he immediately saw Lu Yu ascending. After watching him for a moment, he slowly closed his eyes again.

Lu Yu suddenly felt a gaze upon him. He looked up but could only see the ceiling.

That gaze was emotionless, much like a security guard giving him a once-over when he entered a building.

Upon reaching the sixth floor of the Pavilion of Teachings, this level contained Saint-grade cultivation techniques, divine techniques, top-level secret techniques, and top-level secret techniques.

Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples would need at least a million contributions to reach this place through normal channels. Moreover, they would have to be a direct disciple of one of the great elders and obtain an elder's token to gain entry to the sixth floor.

If they hadn't apprenticed under an elder, becoming a direct disciple, they had to make significant contributions to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to receive a single chance to enter the sixth floor.

This was just the basic condition to enter the sixth floor. Once inside, massive contributions were needed to exchange for Saint-grade cultivation techniques, divine techniques, top-level secret techniques, and top-level secret techniques.

After redeeming them, whether they could cultivate them or even get started was another issue.

But for Lu Yu, these were not issues at all.

With his status as a Saint Heir, all the cultivation techniques, divine techniques, secret techniques, and secret techniques on the sixth floor were his to choose from, as many as he wanted to learn.

He was a player and thus did not face the issue of being unable to cultivate after redeeming.

As long as he had experience points, no matter how difficult the cultivation techniques, divine techniques, secret techniques, and secret techniques were, he could cultivate them to the highest level.

This time, he came to find a speed-based divine technique. The Spirit-level Seventh Grade Heaven's Edge Ruler Step was somewhat insufficient after his realm advanced to the Core Formation Realm.

Moreover, after the breakthrough in realm, the fourth-layer skills of the Battle God Technique finally unlocked.

[Battle God Technique: Shocking God Stab, Mental Mark, Soul Splitting Slash, Soul Control Technique]

Soul Control Technique can suppress an enemy's soul power, thereby suppressing their strength.

Another very important function is that it allows Lu Yu to use soul power in advance.

Before breaking through the realm, the restless power he felt in his mind was soul power, but his soul power had just been born and was very weak.

Without the Soul Control Technique, he'd have to wait until his soul power was strong before he could use it.

So, now he could display divine techniques.

Lu Yu stopped in front of a bookshelf, where an ancient jade slip was placed. This was the divine technique he wanted.
