Chapter 772 -330: Lingshan Market, Iron-blooded Divine Monkey

After half a year of exploration, Chu Lingguang confirmed something. The Profound Celestial Technique of the Profound Celestial Sect and the Cyan Cloud Technique of the Cyan Cloud Sect were both derived from the Divine Sealing Technique.

Cultivating the Divine Sealing Technique caused the Spiritual Power of those who practiced the Profound Celestial Technique and the Cyan Cloud Technique to resonate, preventing them from killing each other.

Of course, this required the aid of the Divine Sealing Scroll.

Chu Lingguang opened the Divine Sealing Scroll.

The images of chess pieces and board lines on its surface were a Cultivation Technique. Others couldn’t understand it, but Chu Lingguang, with his Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, saw it with perfect clarity.

He could even resonate with it, easily grasping its core principles and recording it into his panel.

He discovered that the chessboard and chess piece symbols on the Divine Sealing Scroll were not only a Cultivation Technique but also subtly formed an Array. When he cultivated the Divine Sealing Technique and channeled his Five Elements Power through it, the Divine Sealing Scroll would act like that Array. This would allow his Spiritual Power to more easily control practitioners of the Profound Celestial and Cyan Cloud Techniques, creating a resonance between the three and preventing them from killing each other.

This was a contingency plan left by the Cyan Cloud Sect’s founder.

As someone from the same era as the master of the Immortal King’s Tomb, he seemed to possess the ability to see the future.

Since coming to Great Qin and joining the Profound Celestial Sect, Chu Lingguang had encountered many mysterious and unpredictable Magic Techniques, such as the Divination Skill.

It could be used to glimpse the secrets of heaven and predict the future. However, it was extremely difficult to cultivate and required the consumption of one’s lifespan to activate, so very few people ever succeeded in mastering it.

Thus, Chu Lingguang quickly came to terms with the idea that the Profound Celestial Sect’s founder had left behind the Divine Sealing Technique.

The only thing he found strange was that if the Profound Celestial Sect’s founder and the master of the Immortal King’s Tomb were contemporaries and had some sort of relationship, why would the Immortal King’s Tomb become a place for seeking Immortal Fate?

‘I wonder where the Profound Celestial Sect founder’s tomb is.’

‘That patriarch must have left behind some incredible opportunities as well.’

‘Of course, it’s also possible those opportunities have already been claimed by the Profound Celestial Sect’s successors.’

After he recorded the Divine Sealing Technique in his panel,

Chu Lingguang checked his panel’s information.

Favors: None

Divine Thought (6,000,000 / 6,000,000)

Five Elements Escape Technique (343,277 / 4,000,000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 1,976 years)

For helping Yun Hong refine the black vine, Chu Lingguang had earned over 600,000 Favor Points. This instantly brought his Divine Thought, which was already close to Perfection, to the state of Perfection, and it also boosted his Five Elements Escape Technique by more than 200,000 points.

Divine Sealing Technique (12 / 10,000,000)

He saw that the Divine Sealing Technique had been recorded into the panel.

‘As expected of a technique that can make the Spiritual Power of both the Profound Celestial and Cyan Cloud Sects resonate, controlling their Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities through that resonance. The value for Perfection is actually ten million!’

Even with his greatly improved talent, if he relied on cultivating day and night, reaching the ten million points needed for Perfection would take an incredibly long time.

And Yun Hong’s words were still fresh in his mind.

The Cyan Cloud Sect and the Profound Celestial Sect were now as incompatible as fire and water. War was imminent.

If Chu Lingguang wanted to cultivate the Divine Sealing Technique to Perfection, his only option was to use Favor Points.

Even with the Divine Sealing Scroll to help, he couldn’t guarantee he could control the disciples of the Profound Celestial and Cyan Cloud Sects without first cultivating the Divine Sealing Technique to Perfection.

He needed to make their Spiritual Power resonate and use that resonant force to firmly control them, preventing them from slaughtering each other.

And so, in the days that followed, Chu Lingguang focused on both earning Favor Points and diligently cultivating the Divine Sealing Technique. The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, three more years went by.

Chu Lingguang checked his panel’s information.

Favor Points: None

Five Elements Escape Technique (3,779,121 / 4,000,000)

Divine Sealing Technique (1,277,012 / 10,000,000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 1,973 years)

Over the past three years, Chu Lingguang had spent all his Favor Points on the Divine Sealing Technique. The Five Elements Escape Technique, on the other hand, had gained points through passive cultivation.

As he became familiar with more and more Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities, especially after starting on the Divine Sealing Technique, cultivating the Five Elements Escape Technique also became much easier.

It had increased by over three million points in just three years.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sealing Technique, thanks to a combination of Favor Points and diligent training, had increased by over a million points.

‘At this rate…’

‘…Chu Lingguang would be able to master this Cultivation Technique in about thirty years.’

Thirty years might seem like an eternity to a common mortal, but to a Practitioner, it was merely the blink of an eye.

‘I wonder how Second Aunt and the others are doing.’

‘It’s already been thirteen years since I returned to Great Qin.’

‘I originally planned to return to Great Yuan to cultivate after avenging my master. But then the Profound Celestial Sect was reorganized, and I became a Sect Elder. I’ve been so caught up in sect affairs that thirteen years have just flown by.’

‘Cultivation can’t be rushed.’

‘And neither can the Divine Sealing Technique.’

‘Maybe I should take this opportunity to return to Great Yuan and see Second Aunt and the others.’

Thirteen years of arduous cultivation hadn’t made Chu Lingguang cold and heartless. On the contrary, he found himself missing the people from his past more and more.

“Senior Sister, I need to make a trip back to Great Yuan.”

Yang Rong was still in seclusion, so Chu Lingguang went to find Li Qiushui.

By now, Li Qiushui had long since achieved Foundation Establishment and had become the Profound Celestial Sect’s Eldest Senior Sister. Her status was no less than his, and she was in charge of all the sect’s affairs, large and small.

“Great Yuan… After so many years, you really should go back and have a look.”

Li Qiushui had seen Chu Lingguang’s connections in the mortal world and knew he couldn’t yet sever those old ties.

“Mm.”

Neither of them said anything more.

With his Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, mastery of the Five Elements Escape Technique, Divine Thought at Perfection, and seventh-rank Telekinesis, Chu Lingguang’s flight speed was on a completely different level than before.

Traveling at full speed,

he could return to Great Yuan in a little over half a month.

He bade farewell to Li Qiushui, simply asking her to handle his sect duties in his absence.

「Ten days later.」

Chu Lingguang’s figure appeared in the sky above Lingshan.
