Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 65 Cultivation Technique

Inside the library of the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy, two elderly men with white hair but ruddy complexions were in shock.

"Such a young Battle King, young friend, from which prominent family in Central Continent do you come?"

No wonder the two elders were so shocked. They knew that even Mang Tianchi back then was only slightly less talented than this. Apart from being a descendant of a major family in Zhongzhou, the two elders really couldn't imagine where Lin Feng came from.

Lin Feng exchanged a glance with Vice Dean Hu Qian, then stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Elders, elders, this young Lin Feng is a native of the Gama Empire in the Northwest Continent, even in his youth..."

"Incredible! Incredible!" After listening to Lin Feng's story, Elder Qian exclaimed, feeling somewhat fortunate as well. The academy was able to provide protection for a prodigy who excelled in both alchemy and martial arts cultivation during his childhood. As he grew up, the academy was destined for at least another century of glory.

As for the two of them, their lifespans are nearing their end, and they have no choice but to spend years in seclusion to reduce the depletion of their life force. You mean Dean Mang Tianchi? That fellow hasn't returned to the academy for almost a century; I wonder if he's still alive.

Moreover, if they are trained well, the academy might even have its own seventh-grade alchemist in the future. Only then will Canaan Academy's alchemy department dare to truly announce its existence to the outside world, unlike now, where the highest-ranking alchemist in the Black Corner Region is not even from the academy.

After exchanging a glance, Bai Lao spoke again, his expression carrying a hint of regret.

"However, it's a pity that you have a rare Five Elements physique. Judging from the fluctuations in your aura, the problem with your cultivation technique has not been resolved."

"Elder Bai, are you aware of this constitution? But do you know if there's a solution?"

Lin Feng saw that Elder Bai had immediately identified his problem. Although he was amazed by the power of a Dou Zong expert, he was also delighted, as he thought that the problem with his cultivation technique might be solved this time.

However, Bai Lao shook his head under Lin Feng's expectant gaze.

"The reason I've heard of this physique is because when I was adventuring in Zhongzhou with Qianmu, there was a person with the Five Elements Physique who was famous far and wide."

The old man beside him nodded and then spoke.

"At that time, that person was known as the Five Elements Venerable, and was famous for his powerful combat strength and battle qi. With the strength of only a five-star Dou Zun, he actually suppressed a seven-star Dou Zun of the Soul Hall without any power to fight back, which shocked the Central Continent."

The two elders had a hint of longing in their eyes. It was still unknown whether they would be able to break through to the Dou Zun realm in their lifetime. Moreover, they had heard in their youth that someone could fight beyond their level in the Dou Zun realm. How could they not admire them?

"Where is this Venerable Five Elements currently located? Please tell me, elders!"

Lin Feng said excitedly, bowing slightly. Since this Five Elements Venerable could cultivate the Five Elements Physique to the Dou Zun realm, he must have already solved the problem of cultivation techniques. If he could find him, perhaps Lin Feng's problem could also be solved.

But what the two elders said next sent a chill down Lin Feng's spine.

"Gone, not even ashes. It is said that the Soul Palace was furious at the time and sent a master of unknown rank, whose appearance was not even known. People nearby only saw a black hand that blotted out the sky appear, and the Five Elements Venerable and his sect's address all disappeared."

As they spoke, a hint of fear appeared on the faces of the two elders, making Hu Qian wonder if the people they were referring to nearby were these two.

"In the years that followed, the Fearful Soul Hall of Zhongzhou was like a tiger, and blackness spread all over the land. We two felt the danger and quickly returned to the Northwest Continent."

"It is said that Danta organized an alliance to counterattack, which restored peace to Zhongzhou."

Then, the two elders seemed to remember something and said to Lin Feng.

"Who knows, you might one day become famous in the Pill Tower, a place teeming with alchemists!"

Lin Feng made no secret of his confidence in himself, despite the elders' high expectations. However, he was somewhat distracted. He had thought the problem of the cultivation method was solved, but his glimmer of hope was instantly shattered.

The two men, Qianmu Bailie and Qianmu Bailie, were both experienced and shrewd, and they could easily see through Lin Feng's thoughts, so they offered words of comfort.

"You don't need to be discouraged, kid. It's said that the Five Elements Venerable is very fond of juniors and often leaves his insights in nameless caves. You might have a chance to meet him in the future."

Hearing this, Lin Feng calmed himself down. He had been through so many years of trials and tribulations, but he had lost control of his emotions today, which was really inexcusable.

He gave a slight bow and said, "Lin Feng is here to thank you both for your guidance!"

"It's nothing. In that case, let's go inside and find a suitable cultivation technique!"

As he spoke, Bai Lie waved his arm, which was hidden within his wide robe, and another spatial passage opened. Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded slightly to the three of them and then leaped into the passage.

After the spatial passage disappeared, Hu Qian smiled slightly at the two elders and suddenly spoke.

"The elders are certainly quick to speak today. In previous years, when they brought newly promoted elders and the top five students from the competition, they would just give a few perfunctory words."

She glanced at Hu Gan indifferently, as if asking if he was itching for a beating. After making Hu Gan's scalp tingle, Qian Mu finally spoke.

"This kid's future achievements will at least be at our level, and perhaps even surpass it. It's only natural that the two of us would say a few more words about such a prodigy."

Then, his tone changed, sounding rather disappointed.

"As for you, kid, you've been at the peak of Dou Huang for so many years, when will you break through to Dou Zong?"

Seemingly knowing that Hu Qian wouldn't be able to say anything, the two elders disappeared from the spot in a flash after they finished speaking.

"well"

Seeing the disappointment in the two elders' eyes, Hu Qian was also unwilling, but how could he break through the barrier of his cultivation realm that had not fluctuated for so many years? He then looked towards the direction of the pavilion, a faint expectation rising in his expression.

"Perhaps, my breakthrough pill will depend on this kid!"

As for Elder Huo, well, we've worked together for so many years, we all know each other inside and out. Even if this old guy really does advance to the sixth rank this time, Hu Qian thinks it's more practical to wait for Lin Feng, this genius, to come and refine the sixth-rank peak Breakthrough Pill.

"Tap, tap, tap"

Walking slowly through the huge attic, following the signs to the area marked with cultivation techniques, Lin Feng was suddenly shocked. Never before had he felt so ignorant.

"boom"

Rows of bookshelves stood tall, each a Xuan-level technique; even Huang-level techniques didn't qualify to stand a chance here.

"Green Wood Skill, Red Phosphorus Strength, Black Shadow Technique"

With just a quick scan, Lin Feng saw dozens of Xuan-rank cultivation techniques. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, thinking that as expected of the Lei Clan, one of the ancient imperial clans, their foundation was truly beyond his imagination.

Then he thought of the Xiao clan, which was also an imperial clan. Even the patriarch's cultivation technique was only at the Xuan level. Just thinking about how terrifying this was made Lin Feng shudder.

He shook his head, putting aside the matter that was none of his business, and strode toward the bookshelf where Earth-rank cultivation techniques were kept.

"That's a really big spender!"

At least ten scrolls of martial arts techniques stood quietly on the bookshelf, and Lin Feng quickly stepped forward.

"Blazing Sun Burning the World Technique, a mid-level Earth-rank technique. Cultivation of it carries a strange burning aura and slightly enhances physical strength. Upon mastery, one can use their own battle qi as a guide to absorb a wisp of flame from the blazing sun, greatly increasing both their battle qi and the power of the flames. With the sun's blessing, its power explodes."

"Dragon's Roar and Tsunami Technique, a mid-level Earth-rank technique. It was created by an ancestor who observed an eighth-rank water-attribute dragon's cultivation. After practicing it, one not only gains dragon energy, greatly increasing the likelihood of attracting dragon-attribute magical beasts, but also possesses the vastness of the ocean, making it difficult to exhaust one's battle energy. It also has the effect of increasing physical strength."

"Thunderous Might Technique, a high-level Earth-rank technique. Although named a Battle Qi cultivation technique, it is actually a combination of Battle Qi and body tempering. With the clan's consent, I have specially placed it here. This technique must be practiced in a lightning environment. The stronger the lightning used, the better the effect. It combines body tempering and Battle Qi refinement, and its speed is top-notch among its peers. If one can find the legendary Black Demon Lightning to cultivate it, it can even be comparable to the Half-Step Heaven-rank."

"Earth element."

With so many Earth-rank cultivation techniques, which one will Lin Feng choose as his main cultivation technique?
