Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

Chapter 131 Transmission and Consolidation
"The environment back then was far less prosperous than the cultivation world is today; population, spiritual lands, and resources were all insufficient."

"It is precisely because of suffering that outstanding talents have emerged among the human race."

"Starting with the Four Nine Immortal Path, countless cultivation techniques and secret arts were created, which was known as the ancient golden age."

"The first war between humans and demons ended with a great victory for the human race. The ancient human ancestors conquered the territory of the Twelve Immortal Sects, and the land of Nanyue Kingdom was one of them."

"Later, the ancient ancestors ascended to heaven one after another, and the second war between humans and demons began ten thousand years ago."

"The twelve immortal lords, led by the [Baiyue Immortal Lord], who are now the founders of the Immortal Mountain Sect, truly shouldered the heavy responsibility and led the human race to a minor victory over the demon race."

"The mortal soil of fifty kingdoms was laid at this time. Although it was barren in terms of spiritual energy, it still fed trillions of ordinary people, which led to the current prosperous era."

The reason it is called a minor victory is that although the land area of ​​the fifty kingdoms is large, it is not as great as the benefits brought by the twelve immortal cultivation kingdoms.

At this point, Gu Qing had a clear understanding of the past history.

"Eight thousand years have passed since the ascension of the Immortal Lord of Baiyue. The founding ancestors of the other immortal sects have also ascended. This is a critical period for the demon race to stir up trouble once again."

"It can remain peaceful for a thousand years."

"But we also need to plan ahead and prepare in advance."

A thousand years...

Gu Qing's eyes were calm. He could only live this long for now. Compared to the years he had already lived, those years were countless.

It's hard to find someone with the same sense of crisis as the Ninth Ancestor.

After telling him the general history, it was time for the main event—the core heritage!
The Ninth Patriarch spoke again.

"The Immortal Lord of Baiyue was a disciple of the ancient ancestor of mankind, and the immortal scripture he passed down was called the 'Mysterious Path'."

"The [Yu Yu Tian Yuan Qi Jing], the [Da Chi Tian Xuan Qi Jing], and the [Qing Wei Tian Shi Qi Jing] are the three immortal scriptures passed down in the Xuan Yi Dao lineage."

Which one do you want?

"..."

Gu Qing listened intently. Compared to names like Yanlong True Skill, those with "Scripture" in their names were clearly Great Dao techniques that led directly to the fourth rank. Their names were completely unpredictable.

"May I ask, Ninth Ancestor, which of these three immortal scriptures is most suitable for your disciple?"

"Haha."

Upon hearing what Gu Qing said, the Ninth Ancestor actually laughed.

"You have chosen the path of fire. In the early stages, you are brave and diligent, with unparalleled combat power. But in the later stages, when you need to control the five elements and unify all elements, you will know the bitterness."

"These three immortal scriptures are not conventional cultivation methods. If one is to practice the Great Dao through fire cultivation, the Great Crimson Heaven Profound Qi Scripture may be the most suitable for the first time to comprehend the Dao."

I didn't quite understand. I felt that this transmission of the Dharma was completely different from what I had imagined. Would any disciple of Baiyue Mountain who broke through to the eighth rank receive these three immortal scriptures?
A question mark appeared in Gu Qing's mind.

"This disciple will obey the Ninth Ancestor."

"Then use the Great Crimson Heaven Profound Qi Scripture, calm your mind and focus your spirit, and do not resist."

"Yes!"

Sitting cross-legged, Gu Qing closed his eyes, and after a moment he felt the Ninth Ancestor's finger touch his forehead.

According to the information he had learned in advance, the core inheritance was layered, and it would stop at the seventh rank. If he broke through after returning from the frontier battlefield, he could obtain the subsequent cultivation methods from the mountain gate until he broke through to the sixth rank.

Only when one becomes one of the founders of Baiyue Mountain will one have full knowledge of all the contents.

But... the Great Crimson Heaven Profound Qi Scripture is different, or rather, hearsay is inherently unreliable.

The entire text is no more than three hundred words, each word is profound and contains multiple layers of meaning. Different meanings can often be deciphered from a single word.

Moreover, this is not the main cultivation method, but more like a enlightenment scripture that can enhance the level of the main cultivation method.

Its effect is similar to the ability to predict the lifespan of a panel.

Gu Qing's main cultivation technique, the Flaming Dragon True Technique, is a seventh-grade ultimate technique with twelve levels, corresponding to the twelve realms of the third grade.

When his divine sense received the Great Crimson Heaven Profound Qi Scripture, it was as if the Great Dao in the darkness had opened a door for him.

Countless insights into the Great Dao of Fire surged into his ancestral aperture.

The Fiery Dragon True Skill is also constantly being improved and evolved...

I don't know how much time passed before I opened my eyes again.

I can't remember the contents of the 300-character Great Crimson Heaven Profound Qi Scripture at all; it's as if it never existed.

The Yanlong True Skill has undergone a complete transformation, and the Dragon-Snake Transformation Secret Technique, which it had long wanted to incorporate, was naturally added to it, becoming a secret technique that complements the skill.

Its own rank is even at the highest level of the sixth rank.

"Nine Revolutions Fiery Dragon Scripture, Eighth Level... Dragon Transformation Secret Technique!" Gu Qing was shocked. This effect was no less than his own lifespan-burning deduction, and even better.

Little did they know that the Ninth Ancestor was also secretly alarmed.

With his cultivation level, he could naturally perceive the subtle changes in Gu Qing's body. The amount of true essence that was ten times that of others of the same level, as well as the physique that was comparable to that of a dragon, all indicated that the cultivation method Gu Qing practiced was extraordinary.

"Gu Qing, do you now understand what the core heritage of Baiyue Mountain is?"

"road!"

His answer was resolute and extremely certain.

"Yes, that is the Tao!"

"The fundamental purpose of the three immortal scriptures is to help cultivators embark on their own path, and the effects of each scripture are roughly the same."

"Generally speaking, without the three times of enlightenment, the disciples of Baiyue Mountain cultivate the eighth-grade ultimate technique. After the first time, they reach the seventh-grade ultimate, the second time the sixth-grade ultimate, and the third time the fifth-grade ultimate."

"That crucial step of ascension depends on one's own destiny."

If one is already practicing a fifth-grade technique and then receives the effects of the Three Scriptures of Enlightenment, could one then obtain a second-grade technique?

This idea of ​​exploiting a bug is completely unworkable.

When Gu Qing asked this question.

This is what the Ninth Patriarch said.

"Cultivating the Tao, cultivating the Tao, is cultivating my own Tao, not another's Tao!"

“Starting from the seventh rank, each cultivator’s foundation and path are different, and their understanding of the Great Dao is different. It is difficult for later generations to cultivate the same technique to the level of their predecessors.”

"Take a closer look at the new method you just grasped."

Gu Qing hesitated before examining it, and that's when she discovered...

Unlike the True Flame Dragon Technique, the Nine Revolutions Flame Dragon Scripture has prerequisites for cultivation.

Innate Fire Spirit Body.

Ten times the true essence of the same level.

Dragon-like physique.

Three conditions can prevent most cultivators from learning the Nine Revolutions Fiery Dragon Scripture. So why would a cultivator with the necessary qualifications want to learn it?

What should have been the effect of the Yanlong True Skill has become the entry requirement for the new technique. Apart from Gu Qing himself, even if others obtain this technique, they will find it difficult to master.

If later generations cultivate the Yanlong True Skill and reach this stage, they can still rely on the Three Classics to comprehend the Dao and develop their own unique cultivation method.

The core heritage of Baiyue Mountain —

The teacher is not a disciple, but a fellow practitioner!

What we need is not to inherit the mantle, but to sit down and discuss the principles!
It’s really amazing.

Gu Qing, who was unable to calm down for a long time, had gained a lot of insights and it took him a while to remember to ask about what to do next.

"Ninth Ancestor, after breaking through to the seventh rank, can I still comprehend the Dao once more?"

"Yes or no."

"Generally speaking, those at the eighth, seventh, and sixth rank of the ultimate level can comprehend the three scriptures and attain enlightenment, but their effects are not absolute."

"The upper limit is the fifth rank, the highest level."

"Disciple understands."

Gu Qing felt a little regretful.

"Alright, go out now. You can choose the technique you want from the Scripture Pavilion."

"I hope to see you enter the palace again."

"The disciple will come!"

Leaving the Ancestral Hall, Gu Qing looked up at the hall again and was once again amazed by the grandeur of Baiyue Mountain.

When he left the library.

His purse was also completely empty. He had exchanged for three seventh-grade magic techniques, each with different effects and generally worth seven or eight hundred contribution points.

Now all that needs to be done is let things settle down.
