Chapter 912: Chapter 484: Eighth Lifetime: Severing the Self to Illuminate the Dao, Pure Lotus Heart Scripture! (Part 2)

However, previously he had been traveling with Elder Li and others, so he hadn’t had the chance to take a closer look.

He opened a Qiankun Bag and saw inside a pile of low-grade spirit stones, at least tens of thousands of them.

In addition to that,

the amount of treasure medicines and spirit elixirs was also considerable.

Although the quality of these elixirs was very low, their quantity could not be underestimated.

Moreover, after Lu Yuan carefully counted, he found a yellowed scripture in Lin Hu’s storage bag.

"Is this the Supreme Profound Sect’s Foundation Technique, the Supreme Profound Scripture?"

Lu Yuan’s pupils slightly trembled, and he immediately became interested.

Judging by the content,

this scripture was just a copy, but it was filled with messy scrawls, all of which were Lin Hu’s cultivation insights and understandings.

Profound beyond deep, a gateway to many wonders.

The magical aspect of the Supreme Profound Scripture was that if someone could cultivate it to a profound level, they would get a chance for rebirth.

When Lin Hu first joined the Supreme Profound Sect years ago, he had mediocre qualifications and unremarkable talent, until he spent over ten years to cultivate this technique to a minor success.

Only then did he manage to purify his marrow and soar into the sky, becoming the Inner Sect Chief of the Supreme Profound Sect!

However, according to the insights left by Lin Hu, this technique is extremely complex and cumbersome, and ordinary disciples might not be able to cultivate it to the entry realm even with great effort if they fail to grasp the essentials.

"The Supreme Profound Sect is one of the top sects in the Great Li Dynasty, and since the Supreme Profound Scripture is regarded as their foundational technique, it must have its unique features."

Lu Yuan casually browsed through it, then put it away without directly cultivating it.

After all, he still had an opportunity to visit the Scripture Pavilion to select a superior cultivation technique. It would not be too late to cultivate this scripture after finding a technique that could be compatible with it.

"These low-grade weapons and spirit medicines aren’t very useful to me. In the future, if there’s an opportunity, I could sell them all to exchange for cultivation resources."

After counting all the supplies, Lu Yuan took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun Bag.

"Pop!"

He pulled out the cork, and a rich scent of pills immediately wafted through the air, filling the room with a strand of fragrance.

"As expected of a top-grade Spirit-Storage Pill, just a wisp of its scent increased my cultivation technique’s operation speed by more than fifty percent."

Lu Yuan’s eyes gleamed slightly, a trace of joy emerging in his heart.

It should be known that even though martial artists in the Spiritual Sea Realm can absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, they need to activate their cultivation technique to circulate the energy throughout the body in a Great Circulation to thoroughly refine and absorb it.

Under normal circumstances,

a martial artist in the Spiritual Sea Realm, even if they forgo eating and sleeping, can only manage a hundred circulations per day at most.

But if the technique operates faster, it means that the speed of refining spiritual energy also improves significantly.

The Spirit-Storage Pill, however, can bypass the step of refining spiritual energy, directly making the martial artist’s Sea of Qi fill up quickly.

"With these hundreds of Spirit-Storage Pills, I should be able to advance to the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm in a short time."

"By that time, even if I encounter a Soul Palace Realm expert, I can easily defeat them!"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, overwhelmed by a strong sense of confidence in his heart.

Then he took a deep breath, dispelled all distracting thoughts, and began to immerse himself in cultivation.

As the sun and moon alternated, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, over two months had passed.

While Lu Yuan was secluded in cultivation, the much-anticipated Inner Sect Grand Competition arrived as scheduled.

Compared to outer disciples,

those who become inner sect disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect are all people of remarkable talent.

Even the weakest among them have an early stage Spiritual Sea Realm cultivation.

As for those few top prodigies, they’ve already entered the late stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm and can break through to the Soul Palace Realm with just one more step.

In terms of status and cultivation, they’re on par with the inner sect elders!

As the time for the competition drew near, the entire Cyan Cloud Sect became even more lively.

Many inner disciples and sect elders, who were far away, returned early to participate in this grand event.

After all, the Inner Sect Grand Competition is extremely important and is the most lively event of the Cyan Cloud Sect every year.

Not only is it to select exceptionally talented individuals, but it’s also an opportunity to display the sect’s heritage to the various external powers, deterring those with ill intentions.

Because of this,

whenever the Inner Sect Grand Competition unfolds,

the entire Cyan Cloud Sect would summon back all disciples and elders, and also send out numerous invitations to nearby big and small powers to come and watch.

It’s safe to say that the entire sect highly values the Inner Sect Grand Competition.

All the inner sect disciples are eager, hoping to achieve a good rank in the competition.

With the attention of all parties,

if they can stand out in the competition, they will not only receive generous rewards but also make a name for themselves, thereby securing more investments!

"The strength of this year’s inner sect disciples is formidable. I wonder which prodigy will seize the top spot in this Inner Sect Grand Competition."

"There’s no need to wonder; it’ll surely be Brother Zhao Xu!"

"Rumor has it that Brother Zhao Xu is the most favored direct descendant of a certain Supreme Elder and was personally trained by the Hall Master Yan Xing. He’s spent years honing his skills in the Law Enforcement Hall, personally cutting down countless powerful criminals and bandits."

"Indeed, Brother Zhao Xu is immensely powerful, having already reached the first layer of the Soul Palace Realm. Whether in talent, aptitude, wealth, or combat experience, he is flawless."

"In my opinion, this time the title of Inner Sect Leader belongs to none other than Brother Zhao Xu."

Many disciples gathered together, discussing in whispers.

Among them, quite a few admired Zhao Xu tremendously, believing him to be the undisputed Inner Sect Chief.

But after hearing these remarks, some held differing views.

"I wouldn’t be so sure. While Brother Zhao Xu is indeed powerful, the other inner sect prodigies aren’t pushovers either."

"For example, Sister Su Rhyme is merely twenty yet already has cultivation at the half-step Soul Palace Realm and is also personally taught by a certain Supreme Elder."

"Her mastery of the Profound Lady Swordsmanship is so profound that not even Soul Palace Realm experts dare to take it head-on."

"And Brother Lei Heng, a natural martial arts fool, although only at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Sea Realm, is rumored to have torn apart a Soul Palace Realm expert with his bare hands during a life-and-death battle, being regarded by many as a monster!"

"Sister Su Rhyme? Brother Lei Heng?"

Upon hearing these names, everyone’s expressions changed slightly, revealing an undeniable respect in their eyes.

The person was right.

Though Zhao Xu’s strength is extraordinary, Su Rhyme and Lei Heng are also prodigies with exceptional talent, strong competitors for the title of Inner Sect Leader.

"Everyone, you seem to have forgotten someone."

At the same time,

someone spoke with a smiling face.

"Are you referring to Junior Brother Lu Yuan, who is currently in the limelight?"

Other disciples’ expressions changed slightly, immediately guessing who was being referenced.

In the past two months, the news of the sect’s convoy being ambushed has spread far and wide.

And the name Lu Yuan has been associated with it, becoming known throughout the Cyan Cloud Sect, recognized by many disciples and elders.

"Though Junior Brother Lu Yuan managed to slay Lin Hu and his strength is not to be underestimated, he has just been promoted to inner sect disciple and might not participate in this competition, right?"

Someone asked with doubt.

Though there was one more thing he left unsaid.

In everyone’s eyes,

Zhao Xu, Su Rhyme, and Lei Heng are seen as being on par with Soul Palace Realm experts.

While Lu Yuan was able to kill Lin Hu, who was at the ninth layer of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he is said to have only reached the first layer of the Spiritual Sea Realm and has been cultivating for a relatively short time, making him hard to compare to the top three.

Just as everyone was deep in discussion,

Lu Yuan’s two months of intensive cultivation finally came to an end.

"The Pure Lotus Heart Scripture indeed deserves to be called a superior cultivation technique, the resources needed for its cultivation are astronomical."

"Even with over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones and hundreds of top-grade Spirit-Storage Pills, I could only raise my cultivation to the sixth layer of the Spiritual Sea Realm."

Lu Yuan let out a turbid breath, silently feeling the spiritual power that had grown several times within and showed a somewhat helpless expression.

During his seclusion, he took the time to visit the Scripture Pavilion.

After careful consideration, he chose the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture as his technique.

This technique, as the name suggests, focuses mainly on cultivating mental will, emphasizing a heart like a lotus platform, inherently bright.

I have a bright pearl, long trapped by mundane worries.

Once the dust is washed away, its brilliance emerges, illuminating countless mountains and rivers.

If this technique is cultivated to the extreme, the practitioner can reflect myriad mountains and rivers with their mental will.

In a mere instant, they can transform countless beings!
