My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 781 Clear
The third floor of the Sutra Repository did not contain the heretical teachings that Brother Hou Ping had mentioned.
It's not that such heretical teachings don't exist; it's just that Hou Ping made it up or something.

Rather, it is due to the unique nature of non-Buddhist teachings.
This makes it impossible for them to be included in the Immortal Sect's library.

After browsing through many jade slips in the scripture pavilion on the third floor
Shen Changchuan learned one thing: the external methods are bound to the cultivation techniques of their origin!

For example, the third-tier spell that Lin Wushuang used in the Grand Competition was, in a sense, a kind of heretical spell.

Its ability to be used essentially relies on the power of Lin Wushuang's bloodline.

It was precisely because his cultivation methods and spells were adapted to the trace of ancient demon bloodline within Lin Wushuang's body that he was able to use third-level spells when he was in the Out-of-Body Realm.

Such magical techniques, if applied to someone who does not possess even a trace of the bloodline of an ancient demon, might be able to be forcibly activated to some extent, but their power would be greatly reduced as a result!

This is the essence of why heretical teachings are bound to their specific practices.

For example, the methods of Gu poison.

The Gu Dao techniques, comparable to third-tier spells, generally require the activation of Gu Dao cultivation methods at the Divine Travel Realm level.

The same applies to unorthodox paths such as body refinement and talisman cultivation!

Unlike ordinary third-tier spells, which allow for different cultivation methods but still share the same magical power characteristics, these spells can be practiced and cast.

Gu techniques, body-refining attack methods, and so on, can basically only be used in conjunction with their own cultivation methods. If they switch to a different cultivation method, they can no longer activate them.

It is precisely because of this,
The third floor of this Immortal Sect's Scripture Repository,

Naturally, there were no such unorthodox teachings or practices collected.

Once you understand this...
Shen Changchuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems this path is also blocked!"

"It's a pity."

"But so be it. Even if one manages to master one or two third-tier spells, it will probably take a lot of hard work to reach perfection."

"Instead of wasting time, you'd be better off practicing a few more second-tier or top-tier second-tier spells!"

"Anyway, every time you master a spell, you will accumulate a small amount of perfected experience. In time, you might be able to turn quantitative changes into qualitative ones!"

"Since the road ahead is blocked, I will now focus on this one path!"

After spending three days confirming this,

Shen Changchuan, somewhat disheartened, adjusted his mood and set new directions and goals.

That makes sense.
Perhaps I've become too used to things going smoothly all along and underestimated the difficulty of comprehending spells beyond my level.

At the same time, he also developed a bit of unrealistic ambitions.

Admittedly, that third-tier spell might be quite powerful.

After cultivating to perfection, one may accumulate a considerable amount of experience with perfect spell characteristics.

But the problem is,

Having that time to master a third-tier spell to perfection

I'm afraid I've already mastered thirty to fifty top-tier second-order spells to perfection!

For him now

Ultimately, the most direct way to improve actual combat effectiveness is through the progress of comprehending the true meaning.

Furthermore, the progress of comprehending the true meaning is also related to his plan to complete the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment when he advances to the Divine Travel Realm in the future.

And all of this is only related to the accumulated experience of perfecting the characteristics of magic after mastering it!
Why bother going to such lengths to pursue some third-tier spell?

Wouldn't it be better to spend another two or three years cultivating thousands of top-tier second-order spells, and then further accumulating experience for perfecting those characteristics? Shen Changchuan suddenly smiled.

He felt that his previous actions had become somewhat ridiculous.

"Even though the power of a third-tier spell is considerable, it is probably no match for the devastating attack I am producing now by combining the Sky-Stepping Step with the True Meaning of Time!"

"Some third-tier spells might not even be as powerful as my top-tier second-tier spells that have been fused with spatial power!"

"Right now, I should focus on accumulating experience and mastering the characteristics of second-tier spells!"

"Third-tier spells... We can talk about that after we advance to the Divine Travel Realm!"

It didn't take much time.
Shen Changchuan then clarified his next goal, and the path ahead became clearer.

Subsequently,

He had no regrets whatsoever.

They left the third-floor scripture pavilion directly.

"It's a pity that the Immortal Sect's Scripture Pavilion can only borrow up to thirty spells at a time."

"Otherwise, I could just borrow a few hundred spells at once, and I wouldn't have to travel back and forth so often. Even after borrowing a few hundred, I could still continue to cultivate and accumulate these spells in my spare time when I go to the Southern Yue region."

"wrong!"

Originally, I was feeling sentimental,

And as he pondered how he would continue cultivating second-tier spells if he left the Immortal Sect and went to the Southern Yue region, or where he would find so many spells after leaving the Immortal Sect,
A sudden inspiration struck him.

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind like lightning, making him tremble and stop in his tracks.

"wrong!"

"Damn it! How could I be so stupid!"

As that flash of inspiration struck, Shen Changchuan suddenly understood something.
He slapped his forehead, a look of regret on his face!

What stupid thing have I done?!

"Nowadays, I only need to glance at various second-tier and top-tier second-tier spells, simulate them in my mind, and I can master them and make them appear on the progress bar panel!"

"Then why should I go through all the trouble of following the procedures, only to borrow a maximum of thirty jade slips from the Treasury Pavilion at a time?!"

"Just browse through the library for a bit, and once the name of the spell appears on the panel, move on to the next one. As long as you add them all to the panel, what's wrong with grinding for those spells later when you have time?!"

In a flash,

Shen Changchuan felt extremely frustrated.

Fortunately, he frequently visited the Sutra Repository over the past year, bringing thirty jade slips each time!

This was the stupidest thing Shen Changchuan had ever done!

“Other ordinary inner disciples of immortal sects would need to spend three to five days to master a second-tier spell. They would also need to frequently check the contents of the jade slip to ensure that they were not practicing incorrectly. Therefore, they are used to borrowing and taking away the jade slips from the Scripture Pavilion.”

"But I'm different! With the accumulated experience from mastering thousands of spells, I can learn the basics almost instantly with just a glance and a mental simulation!"

"These second-tier spells are not particularly valuable to the Immortal Sect, so the spells in these jade slips are all in their entirety and have not been concealed."

"This is absolutely my chance!"

I recalled the vast collection of magical spells on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

For a time,

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement!
