Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 18 Unlocks New Uses of the Heavenly Book

Although the world of Shrouding the Heavens is also about cultivating immortality, it is different from traditional cultivation. In traditional cultivation worlds, there are all kinds of cultivation arts, but in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, there are very few of these.

This is not to say that the world of "Covering the Sky" is backward, but rather that it simply does not need it.

For example, the reason why traditional cultivation-style talismanic methods are so popular is that the spiritual energy of Qi cultivators cannot withstand large-scale consumption. For instance, a Qi cultivator's spiritual energy would probably be depleted after using a few fireball spells.

However, the Human Body Secret Realm Method in the world of Shrouding the Heavens was created by the Desolate Heaven Emperor using the Chaotic Ancient Method. Within the Chaotic Ancient Method, there is a realm called Cave Heaven. After opening the Cave Heaven, cultivators can use it to steal the creation of heaven and earth, allowing them to continuously restore their essence and energy. The Life Spring Realm inherited this advantage, and even surpassed it.

Therefore, cultivators in the world of Shrouding the Heavens rarely consider the depletion of divine power when fighting. Rather than worrying about the consumption of divine power, the depletion of qi and blood is the norm in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

But if you've exhausted all your energy and still haven't defeated the enemy, then no matter how many talismans you have, they'll be useless.

Moreover, most of the cultivators in the world of Shrouding the Heavens are madmen. They pursue the feeling of sublimation between life and death, and the art of talismans is naturally incompatible with this world.

Aside from the art of talismans, the arts of array formations and alchemy are quite popular in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. However, unfortunately, the cultivators in this world are somewhat hexagonal in nature, and many of them can refine pills and set up large arrays themselves.

Take Elder Han of Lingxu Cave in the original novel, for example. He was just a nobody, but he had a remarkable skill in alchemy.

The path of cultivating immortality and mastering various arts is certainly feasible in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, but Li Yao's idea of ​​amassing a fortune through this is utter nonsense.

Li Yao racked his brains trying to figure out how to amass a large amount of resources in a short period of time. His thoughts were wandering when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he focused his attention on the Heavenly Book.

If there was anything that could help him now, besides the Heavenly Book, Li Yao couldn't think of anything else.

Wow!
With the sound of pages turning, the first and second pages shone brilliantly, now filled with scriptures. Each passage contained only about a thousand words, but every word was precious, and every character fully explained the profound meaning of the Great Way.

The original Yao Guang Jing Lun Hai Juan had more than ten thousand words. Although it was very exquisite, it was somewhat lengthy compared to the Emperor's Scripture. Its explanation of the Great Dao was also far inferior to that of the Yao Guang Emperor's Scripture.

Li Yao's attention did not linger on the two profound scriptures. He turned the pages again, arriving at the third page. The dazzling light disappeared, replaced by ancient, simple pages.

Just now, Li Yao thought of a key point. Since he acquired the Heavenly Book, he has always charged it up before inscribing the scriptures on it, and then the Heavenly Book deduces the results, reaching the highest level of Emperor.

Now Li Yao wants to reverse the process: first, he will inscribe the scriptures on the Heavenly Book, and then he will charge the Heavenly Book with energy. The amount of energy will determine the level to which the scriptures can be deduced.

If this were truly feasible, he could acquire a means of accumulating wealth, such as selling scriptures for spiritual practice.

On the path of spiritual practice, what is most important? It is not resources, nor rare treasures, but the scriptures for spiritual practice; this is the foundation of everything.

The strength of a spiritual text often determines how far a person can go.

The cultivators of Hengyang Cave Heaven can only reach the fifth level of the Dao Palace in terms of their scriptures. They do not possess any scriptures from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. The fifth level of the Dao Palace is the pinnacle for cultivators in Hengyang Cave Heaven. They can only continue their cultivation journey if they obtain new cultivation scriptures with profound meanings similar to the original scriptures.

This shows just how important a good scripture for cultivation is. If Li Yao's conjecture is true, then he could mass-produce good scriptures and then resell them.

Looking at the ancient, yellowed pages, Li Yao was filled with anticipation. With a thought, an invisible pen appeared, and instantly, a scripture appeared on the page.

This is the divine technique, Hao Ri Shen Hui (Radiant Sun Divine Radiance). Its level isn't particularly high; it's merely a secret technique created by a powerful expert and included in the Yao Guang Jing (Shaking Light Scripture). As the cultivation text for Hao Ri Shen Hui appeared on the third page of the Heavenly Book, Li Yao's heart skipped a beat. The fact that it could be inscribed meant that half the battle was won.

He took out a fist-sized piece of pure essence, weighing about ten pounds. The abundant essence was drawn out and then absorbed by the Heavenly Book.

Ong!
A dazzling light shone forth, and the third page of the celestial book began to glow, no longer just in one area as before, but the entire page was radiant.

"It's done!" Li Yao was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that his guess would actually come true.

As the light of enlightenment shone forth, the Scripture of the Divine Radiance of the Sun underwent some subtle changes. Compared to the original scripture, the new scripture was slightly simpler and more profound.

Li Yao immediately grasped the new Hao Ri Divine Radiance. Because it had been deduced by the Heavenly Book, he didn't need to practice at all and mastered it completely.

The new Hao Ri Divine Radiance is not much different from the original, except that it is slightly smoother to use.

Li Yao didn't find anything strange, after all, it only cost ten jin of source energy. He wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.

His guess came true; he found his own path to wealth, a path that no one else could replicate, one that only he had the means to achieve.

Now that we have the method, the next step is to deal with the scriptures.

"That's simple. As the holy land of the Eastern Wilderness, Yao Guang Holy Land has dominated this land for hundreds of thousands of years and has collected countless scriptures. Just pick any scripture that's gathering dust in a corner."

Li Yao stood up, and for the first time since he joined the Yao Guang Holy Land, he left his own living space.

He lived on a mountain peak, which was not very high, only a few hundred feet high. There were hundreds of such peaks on the Sunrise Island, and they were not particularly remarkable.

……

Sunrise Island, Library.

Li Yao arrived at the library and, after taking out his elite disciple identification token, entered smoothly.

There are no restrictions on elite disciples entering the library. They cultivate the Yao Guang Scripture, the highest secret technique of the Yao Guang Holy Land. There is no more powerful scripture in the library. Moreover, as the key talents cultivated by the Yao Guang Holy Land, the only requirement of the Holy Land for elite disciples is that they cultivate diligently. They never thought of asking them to make any sacrifices in the early stages.

Of course, it's not like that for ordinary disciples. If they want to enter the library, they need to make certain contributions before they are allowed to enter the library to select cultivation scriptures and divine arts.

The library doesn't look particularly large from the outside, only a hundred feet tall, but once you go inside, it's a completely different scene.

The building was dimly lit, like night, but countless stars, in all their colors, shone brightly in the darkness.

“Every star is a cultivation scripture or divine technique?!” Li Yao was somewhat shocked, because in his vision there were countless stars, numbering in the tens of thousands, dazzling the eyes.

PS: It's just initial startup capital. After making a profit from the source, you can deduce source techniques and gamble on stones to earn divine source.
