Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

Nanshan Yu took the booklet, scanned it with his divine sense, and his heart stirred slightly.

The jade slip contained a great deal of information, but several points were clear: In the past thirty years, at least three mysterious figures had appeared in the Chu Kingdom, suspected of collecting specific innate martial arts techniques through the system.

One of them had characteristics that closely matched those of the "immortal master" he was investigating in Fucheng—he preferred to wear black robes, his moves were accompanied by a faint gray aura, and he showed an unusual interest in martial arts with strange names such as "Northern Darkness Divine Art," "Six Meridian Divine Sword," and "Lingbo Steps."

However, the other party collects martial arts through various channels, and is particularly interested in the martial arts that flowed out from the "Twelve-Story Tower".

He had absolutely no interest in the handwritten copies that were later made.

Nanshan Yu frowned slightly as she looked at this information.

"It seems that the other party is not after the martial arts itself, but rather the original ancient texts that record the martial arts."

Clearly, the original manual from this "Twelve-Story Tower" contained hidden secrets.

"This person was last seen in the 'Fulong Mountain' area five years ago, and then disappeared without a trace," Fentian added.

"Fulong Mountain is located at the junction of three kingdoms, where the spiritual energy is disordered and there are many ancient ruins and legends. It is also an area where the outer forces of the 'Twelve-Story Tower' were once active."

This humble official suspects that this person may have some connection to the "Twelve-Story Tower," or even... be a survivor of it.

Shen Xiao tapped the armrest of the seat lightly with his fingertips.

The Twelve-Story Tower, this mysterious organization, is like a ghost, always lingering in the shadows of this world.

Its connection with the "previous time travelers" is one of Shen Xiao's deepest research goals.

If this person is truly a remnant of the Twelve-Story Tower, then the martial arts he has collected are likely to be a key piece of the puzzle pointing to the truth left behind by the "previous transmigrator".

Of course, it's also possible that their judgment was flawed from the very beginning.

In short, as long as this cultivator is found, the secrets will be revealed.

"Well done." Shen Xiao nodded slightly and flicked a pale blue pill toward Fentian.

"This pill can benefit your current Grandmaster realm, helping you to strengthen your qi and blood, consolidate your foundation, or even have the opportunity to break through to the Celestial Realm."

Continue to investigate covertly, paying particular attention to any unusual activity in and around Fulong Mountain. Report any findings directly to me.

Remember, do not alert the enemy.

Fen Tian accepted the pill, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He quickly bowed, "Thank you for your generous gift, Immortal Master! This humble official will certainly do his utmost!"

Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom a thousand years ago, no one has ever broken through to the Grandmaster level in martial arts and become a legendary "Celestial Realm" expert.

That's a martial arts expert equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although Fentian knew that a core disciple of a celestial sect probably couldn't produce such a miraculous elixir.

For some reason, seeing "Nanshan Jade's" calm and composed demeanor made people feel inexplicably convinced.

These ordinary martial artists desperately wanted to break through to the legendary "Celestial Realm," which was the lifelong wish of every martial artist.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, he'll hold on tight.

After sending Fen Tian away, "Nanshan Yu" stood alone on the Cloud Viewing Platform, the highest point of Wenxian Pavilion.

The capital city under the night sky was brightly lit and bustling, but this only highlighted the slightly complicated emotions in his eyes.

His gaze fell upon a nine-story underground palace on the northeast side of the imperial city, which was the imperial armory and his primary objective for this trip.

As far as Fentian knows, the lowest level of the armory contains some of the most mysterious and oldest martial arts manuals collected since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Among them are items that are suspected to be directly related to the "Twelve-Story Tower".

It is said that there is a rubbing of an inscription that is neither gold nor jade, with characters that are twisted like tadpoles and no one can decipher them.

However, at the very bottom level, apart from the Great Chu royal family, only the Pavilion Master of the Wenxian Pavilion is allowed to enter.

Even the chief of the Zhenyu Division, Fentian, is not qualified to set foot here.

In the past, because each generation of Wenxian Pavilion Master was a core disciple of the Foundation Establishment stage from one of the four major immortal sects, they had no interest whatsoever in mortal martial arts manuals.

Therefore, no outsider has ever entered the lowest level of the royal armory.

Now, Nanshan jade may become this special case.

A few days later, relying on his status as the Imperial Advisor, Shen Xiao (Nanshan Yu) successfully entered the core forbidden area of ​​the Imperial Armory.

They only gave the Chu Emperor a public greeting, without caring whether the other party agreed or not.

He didn't even need anyone to guide him.

For a moment, the Emperor of Chu's expression faltered, turning quite ugly.

He wasn't stupid; he quickly realized that this new immortal master had probably come prepared.

They must be aiming for the royal armory.

This time, it seems like bleeding is inevitable.

Gritting his teeth, the Chu Emperor notified several royal elders to follow him.

"Nanshan Jade" walked leisurely through the underground palace as if no one else was there, as if it were its own secret vault.

The heavily guarded array and traps were rendered useless by his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation and the secret techniques of immortal cultivators for breaking restrictions.

He bypassed the mountains of ordinary martial arts manuals and divine weapons, and went straight to the eighth floor where the innate martial arts manuals were kept.

This is a huge palace, with rows of bookshelves inside.

The bookshelves were filled with all the innate martial arts manuals collected by the Great Chu royal family over the past thousand years.

At a glance, there were no fewer than several thousand books.

Even though Shen Xiao was prepared, he was still greatly shocked.

The Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's divine sense spread out like a tidal wave, instantly reading these martial arts manuals into his mind and examining them.

Most innate martial arts are native martial arts manuals of this world.

Although there were quite a few martial arts techniques that Shen Xiao found peculiar, there were only a few dozen of them, and most of them were handwritten copies.

It seems that even for the Great Chu royal family, obtaining the original manual is not easy.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Innate Skill, the One-Finger Divine Skill, the Divine Illumination Scripture, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, the Nine Yin Manual...

Indeed, the collection in the royal armory was abundant.

It's likely that most of the innate martial arts techniques that originated from the "Twelve-Story Tower" three hundred years ago are now in this armory.

Even if it's not the original, there are handwritten copies.

Shen Xiao carefully selected and copied all these innate martial arts manuals into blank jade slips.

Furthermore, Shen Xiao also copied down all the special local innate martial arts techniques that he found valuable.

Go back and use the Derivation Spirit Pearl to deduce and upgrade all of them, transforming them into a top-grade Xuan-level immortal cultivation technique.

The Shen family's library is likely to become the place with the most cultivation techniques in the entire cultivation world.

From now on, the Shen family members will no longer have to worry about cultivation techniques.

On the contrary, they will be troubled by which practice method to choose.

After all, they are all top-grade Xuan-level cultivation techniques, each with its own unique characteristics, so it's normal to find it difficult to choose one at the moment.

What troubles Shen Xiao is how to obtain more offerings to activate the Evolutionary Spirit Pearl.

Although it only takes 50 offering points to deduce a cultivation technique, there are just too many of them.

The Chu Emperor, who arrived later, and several royal elders were looking at the motionless "Nanshan Jade" with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.

Countless blank jade slips, gleaming with a faint white light, floated in the air.

Then, they transformed into streams of light and disappeared into the storage bag of "Nanshan Jade".

This scene left them in awe.

A deep sense of envy flashed in his eyes.
