Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The crimson-gold afterglow had not yet dissipated in the sky when the more than twenty dragon clan powerhouses at the Divine Realm around the crater had all knelt on the ground.

No one dared to continue resisting.

What a joke.

Even the ancestor at the peak of the Godhood realm was cleaved in two with a single strike. What are these fifth and sixth-level Godhood realm cultivators doing up there? They'd just be food for the enemy.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the dragon clan experts prostrate on the ground, too lazy to bother with them, and raised his hand to cast the Starry Sky Treasure Mirror on the broken corpse of the Fierce Dragon Clan Ancestor.

Starlight fell.

Then, there was no response.

"Tsk."

Jiang Chuan clicked his tongue expressionlessly, and instantly understood the reason.

The reason he couldn't revive Long Yuan before was because Long Yuan had been tempered by immortal light and had already stepped into the cultivation system.

The Eternal Star Lord is a product of the Awakening System.

The two are mutually exclusive.

Therefore, he went to great lengths to refine the Eternal Star Lord into the Star Treasure Mirror.

The problem has been solved.

As a result, things have turned out quite differently now.

The Starry Sky Treasure Mirror is a magic weapon in the cultivation system, while the ancestor of the Fierce Dragon Clan is on the path to godhood and has already absorbed and refined a large amount of source essence, so they are mutually exclusive!

"So, you can't have your cake and eat it too, right?"

Jiang Chuan was speechless.

He had hoped to pry some information about ancient times out of this old monster.

After all, this guy has lived for countless years, and what he has personally experienced is definitely more reliable than what is recorded in ancient books.

It seems this plan is not going to work out.

Fortunately.

The current Dragon King of the Fierce Dragon Clan is still alive.

Jiang Chuan turned his gaze to the Molten Fire Dragon King, who was lying paralyzed on the edge of the crater, half of his body burned to charcoal.

The Dragon King's scales bristled from that single glance.

Struggling, he rolled over and knelt down, his forehead pressed against the ground: "Little Dragon pays respects to the Immortal Master! The Immortal Master's divine might is unparalleled, and Little Dragon is utterly convinced! From this day forward, the Fierce Dragon Clan is willing to follow the Immortal Master's lead, and will gladly die for any command!"

He spoke so quickly and fluently, it was clear that he had already rehearsed the words countless times in his mind.

Jiang Chuan looked at him with a half-smile: "Now you don't mind that I'm a lowly human?"

The Dragon King trembled, lowering his head even further: "This little dragon was blind and deserves to die! I beg the immortal to spare my life!"

"Alright, stand up and talk."

Jiang Chuan waved his hand.

He spared the Dragon King's life not out of mercy, but because the guy was still useful.

With the ancestor of the Fierce Dragon Clan dead, the only one left in the clan who truly understands the ancient secrets is the current Dragon King.

The next three days.

Jiang Chuan thoroughly examined all the ancient books collected by the Lielong Clan.

As the oldest of the four races of the source bloodline, the Lielong race indeed has a much richer heritage than the other three races.

Some of the content can even be traced back tens of thousands of years, recording some secrets that have long been lost in the Origin Realm.

He interrogated the Dragon King while flipping through the book.

The Dragon King was terrified by his methods.

Answer whatever you are asked.

He was so eager to confess that he had even stolen a few dragon eggs when he was a child.

Although this guy knew far less than the deceased ancestor, piecing together the bits and pieces was enough for Jiang Chuan to get a general outline of the ancient era.

Ancient times.

The Origin Realm was not as desolate as it is now, with the immortal path severed.

At that time, the human race was the only one in the Origin Realm. The immortal sects were prosperous, and human immortals emerged one after another. There were even rumors that more than one Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord had appeared in this world!

until a certain day.

A cataclysmic event that swept across the entire Origin Realm was about to occur.

Almost all the immortal sects collapsed on the same night, and cultivators fled this world as if avoiding a plague.

As for what exactly happened, the Dragon King's answer was the same.

"The same Dharma cannot be practiced by the same person."

However, instead of continuing to play the riddle-maker, he provided a detailed explanation that was closest to the truth:

"Immortal, you may not know this, but the five words 'the Dharma cannot be practiced together' were not some mysterious and profound heavenly maxim in ancient times, but simply their literal meaning."

"Literal meaning?"

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Exactly."

The Dragon King swallowed hard and recounted the secrets he had heard from his ancestor in detail: "The so-called 'one cannot cultivate the same method' means that if two or more people practice the same cultivation method at the same time, the cultivation level of all cultivators will be forcibly locked by some rule, and they will be unable to make any further progress. Even if you are a Golden Core True Monarch, as long as the cultivation method you practice collides with that of another living person, you can forget about taking even half a step further."

Jiang Chuan's expression finally changed.

"you mean……"

"That's right." The Dragon King's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that even tens of thousands of years later, this secret still sent chills down people's spines. "In the ancient times, which immortal sect didn't establish itself with one or two inherited cultivation techniques? From the sect leader to the servants, a sect had hundreds or even tens of thousands of people, all of whom cultivated the same cultivation technique."

"Once the rule that the Dharma cannot be practiced by the same person was implemented, these sects were almost completely wiped out overnight, with all their high-end combat power being destroyed. Golden Core True Monarchs found that they could no longer comprehend the Great Dao, Foundation Establishment Immortals found that they could no longer break through their bottlenecks, and Qi Refining Disciples found that they could no longer refine their spiritual energy. The entire cultivation system of the Immortal Sects was directly severed from its root."

Jiang Chuan fell into a deathly silence.

He had been wondering what kind of catastrophe could cause a flourishing cultivation civilization to collapse almost instantly.

just now.

He finally understood.

"Because of this sudden rule, all the ancient immortal sects fell apart. Disciples killed each other to compete for the unique cultivation qualifications, and sects fought fiercely for the cultivation techniques that had not yet been 'occupied'. In just a hundred years, the entire Origin Realm went from a prosperous age where all the immortals came to pay homage to the emperor to a wasteland."

As the Dragon King spoke, a hint of emotion crept into his voice, "After that disaster, almost all cultivators perished. The very few who survived either fled to the outside world with their inheritance, or were unable to leave and either died of old age in the Origin Realm, or, like our ancestors of the Fierce Dragon Clan, abandoned the path of immortality and turned to the method of ascending to godhood..."

Jiang Chuan felt a chill in his heart. He had already thought of another, more serious problem: the "True Fire Refinement Record of the Sun" that he was cultivating was almost an open secret within the human race!

Back then, in order to study the mysteries of this technique, the first Heavenly Marshal printed millions of copies and distributed them like leaflets!

Although this happened hundreds of years ago, there may not be many people in the Federation who still remember it.

However, what if someone remembers it and spreads the contents of the technique, and by some coincidence it spreads throughout the Heavenly Chapter Realm...?

A supreme cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage.

How many powerful figures will covet this, and how many lower-level cultivators will be driven mad by it?!
