Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 246 The Secret of Second-Rank True Skill
Three days later, Lü Yang finally obtained the cultivation manual.

However, the gains were still significant.

Lu Yang sat upright on the futon, silently examining his gains over the past three days. It was a thick book, with several large characters written on the cover:

"The Divine Refinement Technique for Weapon Disassembly and Sword Unraveling!"

This sword technique is the second-grade true skill of the Sword Pavilion in Ye Guyue's hands, and it is also the origin of her [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword].

The key to the sword technique lies in the "refining" process, which is derived from a realm under the jurisdiction of the Sword Pavilion called the "Divine Weapon Realm". Sword Pavilion cultivators enter the realm and absorb its energy. With each absorption, they grow stronger. Upon reaching the peak, they can even refine flying swords that are compatible with the energy they have absorbed.

However, this so-called "gathering of qi" is not simply about absorbing spiritual energy.

The so-called "gathering of qi" is actually about seizing the essence of heaven and earth. This essence can be human, beast, or rare treasures.

Seize these essences of heaven and earth, and then integrate them into yourself.

For example, Ye Guyue's [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword] was created by her after she seized nine demonic weapons in the [Divine Weapon Realm] and then devoted herself to forging them.

"But what does this have to do with the Golden Elixir?"

Lu Yang frowned slightly. He knew the principle of the second-grade technique, but some details were undoubtedly missing, as Ye Guyue's understanding of the sword technique was lacking.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Ye Guyue: "It seems we have no choice but to try again."

For the sake of his future path, Lü Yang did not hesitate and immediately plunged back into the intense and exciting debate. Soon, another day passed—

"I see."

Disappointed, Lü Yang pushed Ye Guyue away, a look of realization dawning on his face: "Second-grade true skill, in essence, is still about proving one's position in this world!"

"The difference lies in the fact that the second-grade true skill, through [Qi gathering], deprives the essence of other realms and heavens, and then uses it to prove the Golden Core. It is a kind of process of integrating the fruition of other realms and heavens into the fruition of one's own attainment. This is undoubtedly of great benefit to the fruition of this world."

"Therefore, they are more likely to gain favor with those in positions of authority!"

"If you cultivate a second-grade true skill and reach the stage of seeking gold, you won't even need to perform any rituals; the fruit will respond to you and appear."

This is the advantage of being a second-rank official.

Of course, while cultivating a second-grade technique can gain favor from one's own spiritual level, it will also attract strong hostility from the spiritual level of the external world where one gathers qi.

This hostility not only makes gathering Qi extremely difficult, but also easily puts people in mortal danger. It's like being constantly threatened by the heavens and earth, and one could easily die in the outside world. That's why, compared to the stable and safe third-grade true skills, second-grade true skills are ignored.

However, there is another factor...
As he looked at it, Lü Yang suddenly frowned: "Why is it gone again?"

My memory has faded again.

It seems that as the target's cultivation level increases, the refining effect becomes worse and worse, leaving Lü Yang feeling helpless.

Another day has passed.

"Another factor is the scarcity of the Boundary Realms!"

"After all, not every realm can nurture a fruit position. Most realms are still like the battlefields of the past, easily manipulated by True Monarchs."

Lü Yang exclaimed in amazement, "Incredible!"

If even a second-grade true skill is like this, then what about a first-grade true skill?

If a second-grade true skill corresponds to a realm where a Golden Core fruit exists, then does a first-grade true skill correspond to a realm where a Nascent Soul Dao Lord exists?
In this way, the fact that a first-grade true skill can directly lead to the Nascent Soul stage can be explained!
"Moreover, because the realms are rare, different second-grade true skills sometimes refer to the same fruition position in the external world, only with different meanings."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang felt somewhat disappointed: 'Unfortunately, that [Divine Weapon Realm] looks a bit like a cultivation secret realm, probably unique to the Sword Pavilion. Unless I reincarnate and go there, I have no way to absorb Qi and cultivate this second-grade sword technique. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until it reopens before I can make any plans.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang changed his mind again. After all, besides the Sword Pavilion's "Divine Refinement of Weapons and Dismantling of Swords Techniques," he also had a second-grade true skill given to him by True Person Chongguang, produced by the Holy Sect.

The "Heavenly Unity and Unification of All Gods" method!
This second-grade true skill is not much different from the "Divine Refinement of Weapons and Swordsmanship" in principle, except for the difference in the goal and method of gathering qi.

"If the 'Divine Refinement of Weapons and Swordsmanship Technique' is about gathering Qi to eventually forge a natal flying sword, then the 'Heavenly Unity and Unification of All Gods Technique' is about gathering Qi to eventually cultivate an unparalleled Dharma body. Therefore, the corresponding realm is also different, and it is called the 'Myriad Martial Realm'."

Upon reaching the end, Lü Yang suddenly frowned.

"Besides the Holy Sect, the Pure Land has also discovered the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm], and even created a corresponding second-grade true technique to compete with the Holy Sect?"

This is also the difficulty in cultivating the second-grade true skill.

In addition to the hostile environment of the place where you gather Qi, you may also encounter cultivators from other forces, which will further increase the difficulty of gathering Qi.

"However, it's also much easier to get started now."

"After all, second-grade true skills and Dao foundation are not actually related, so they can be cultivated together with other skills. Foundation building can also be cultivated without starting from Qi refining."

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sky and earth shook, and a star suddenly shone brightly in the originally dark and colorless sky. Its golden light illuminated the world in an instant.

The radiant light passed by, illuminating neither the sun nor the moon, nor the heavens and earth, pushing aside all thirty-six layers of dark clouds in one breath, revealing a boundless abyss of blue sky, and finally manifesting a majestic realm that encompassed the universe, where lights shone brightly, and one could vaguely see jade palaces and towers.

"Uncle-Master Chongguang succeeded!?"

Lu Yang was startled at first and looked up at the sky, but he quickly noticed something strange: "No, it's still a blessed land, it hasn't been sublimated into a grotto-heaven!"

Lü Yang had personally witnessed the cave.

After all, he was present when the True Monarch of Sword Pavilion perished and the cave collapsed overseas, which is why he was able to see the difference between the two.

In his view, although the majestic realm that was manifested at this moment was magnificent, it still lacked the transcendent realm of a grotto heaven that stood above the mortal world. This was like the difference between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment. Without ascension, one's status remained unchanged, and no matter how powerful the numerical value was, it was meaningless.

In other words—it failed!

"Kacha!"

The next second, a crisp explosion resounded in the hearts of all the real people below, and an indescribable sadness suddenly surged into their hearts.

Especially those Foundation Establishment cultivators who cultivate supernatural powers and possess the [Chen Earth] element.

This was not due to their own emotional fluctuations, but rather the thoughts of True Person Chongguang, transmitted to the hearts of all the corresponding cultivators through their respective positions at this moment.

One thought, and the world responds!

In a sense, this is already a symbol of a True Lord; one could even say that True Man Chongguang has almost reached the position of a True Lord at this moment.

Alas, it remains water without roots.

"Just one step away, but still lost."

In a daze, Lü Yang seemed to hear a long sigh.

Like a lamp encountering a fierce wind, in an instant, the golden light that once illuminated the world suddenly dimmed, and the brightly lit blessed land also collapsed!
