Chapter 710: Meeting the Derivation Jade Again

Looking around, it was still an enclosed space.

However, compared to the last time when he used the Nascent Soul-level Derivative Jade Token, it was much more spacious.

Aside from the familiar works like "Guidelines for Using the Derivation Law Jade" and "Ten Theories of Derivation Law" displayed on the bookshelves, there were also some short, unsigned articles.

"Discussion on the Relationship Between the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association in the Next Century"

"The Secret of the Unique Physique of the Fairy Kongyou"

"A Study on the Most Beautiful Woman of the Immortal Alliance"

To avoid drawing attention, Xu Bai pretended to browse through the relevant books like "Guidelines for Using the Derivation Law Jade" first.

Then, his spirit lifted as he eagerly read through the anonymous articles one by one.

“There are quite a few interesting characters in the Immortal Alliance. However, being able to enter this Dao Integration-level waiting room means they are far from ordinary,” Xu Bai mused, indulging in the pleasure of reading more volumes.

It turned out that these anonymous articles were left behind by cultivators who had once been here.

Without leaving their names, they couldn't be traced back, allowing them to speak freely.

The topics covered were diverse and unrestricted, ranging from personal insights to wild speculations. Though not necessarily aligned with the truth, they were entertaining nonetheless.

Interestingly, later visitors could also add comments to these articles, creating an interactive exchange—an atmosphere reminiscent of scholarly debates.

Deeply engrossed, Xu Bai unknowingly spent thirteen hours reading.

“Cultivator Xu Bai, your turn is approaching. Please prepare yourself.”

The familiar notification woke him up.

Glancing at the countdown displayed on the wall, Xu Bai returned the book to its original spot.

Before leaving, he couldn't resist adding a note to the article "A Study on the Most Beautiful Woman of the Immortal Alliance" that read:

"Fellow Daoist, truly insightful. Perhaps you could also evaluate the 'Most Beautiful Woman of the Five Elders Association'? Combining the two might create the 'Xuanhuang Beauty Rankings'!"

With a slight smile, the countdown hit zero.

The room’s scene suddenly became illusionary, transforming into countless specks of light drifting toward a distant location. The lights formed a long band, glowing brilliantly in the surrounding darkness.

Following the trail of light, Xu Bai arrived before the Derivation Law Jade.

Under the enormous spherical structure formed by countless changing characters, there was a floating desk.

On the desk sat a little girl—Derivation Law Jade’s spirit—her chin resting on her hands, eyes half-closed, and head nodding with drowsiness. A bit of drool trickled from the corner of her mouth—clearly, she was dozing off.

Even as Xu Bai approached, she remained half-asleep and unaware.

“Ahem!” Xu Bai cleared his throat lightly.

The little girl jolted awake, startled by the sound.

With a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, she frowned, pouted, and looked at the intruder who had disturbed her sleep.

Upon seeing Xu Bai’s face, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly.

Hurriedly wiping the drool from her mouth, she sat upright with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Y-you... hello!”

A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Remembering the previous encounter from his past life, Xu Bai remained silent but politely bowed.

“May I ask if you are the Derivation Law Jade...”

“Yes, yes, that’s me. What do you need?” The little girl nodded repeatedly, her big eyes fixed on Xu Bai.

“Just speak your request, and I will help you!” she said in a sweet, childlike voice, patting the desk with confidence. A blank piece of paper floated over to Xu Bai.

This piece of paper, no matter how I look at it, seems much larger than the one my original self received in my previous life.

"..." Xu Bai remained silent for a moment before his thoughts stirred, and he began to write on it.

Line after line of text appeared:

"Using the Golden Core technique 'Mountain Sitting Technique' as the foundation, with the 'Great Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation' as a reference, and incorporating the technique of 'Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing' as guidance."

"Deduce the Dao Integration version of the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' technique."

"While retaining the characteristic of the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' to passively gain cultivation, I hope to establish a certain degree of surveillance on the cultivators providing the feedback cultivation. Ideally, it should create a kind of connection or sharing among the consciousnesses of all cultivators involved with the 'Mountain Sitting Technique'."

...

Xu Bai meticulously wrote down his requirements.

Although the paper had not yet flown to the hands of the Derivation Law Jade, it seemed as if she had already grasped the content on it.

Her face showed a mix of surprise and distress.

When the paper was densely covered with writing, Li Fan handed it over.

The little girl pretended to take it and carefully examined it.

The space around them fell into silence.

"What’s wrong? Is it too difficult?" Xu Bai smiled gently, showing concern.

"If you find it too challenging, I can lower the technique requirements a bit," he said softly.

The little girl slammed her chubby hand on the table. "What do you mean? Don’t underestimate me! How could something like this possibly stump me!"

"Hmph!"

She furrowed her brows, appearing serious.

She looked over the paper presented by Li Fan once more and then tossed it into the air.

The characters on the paper instantly seemed to come alive, rushing toward the massive spherical object overhead.

“Creak...”

In an instant, the frequency of character changes on the sphere increased countless times compared to before, even producing faint, strained noises.

“Snap.”

Xu Bai looked over to see the little girl had already collapsed on the table, sound asleep.

With a faint smile, Xu Bai looked up, keeping his gaze fixed on the gigantic sphere of light.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, his vision had improved several times compared to when he was at the Golden Core stage. He could barely make out some changes within the sphere.

As the characters kept transforming, some gradually faded and disappeared, seemingly eliminating ineffective arrangements.

Occasionally, a burst of dazzling white light would erupt, wiping out countless characters at once. But shortly after, new unnecessary characters would appear in the blank space, flickering as they continued to deduce.

"This should signify the successful deduction of a new technique."

Xu Bai carefully observed the massive spherical character array, noticing that about one-tenth of the area was still engaged in the usual technique deduction process.

Meanwhile, in the other nine-tenths, the speed of character flashing and changing had reached an entirely different level.

"It must be helping me deduce the follow-up to the 'Mountain Sitting Technique'."

"Compared to my previous life, it truly seems to be giving its all. It’s no longer just a matter of looking good or using reverse psychology."

"Heaven’s chosen, embodiment of heavenly anomaly..."

"I see."

Xu Bai glanced at the seemingly sleeping Derivation Law Jade out of the corner of his eye, and a sense of realization dawned on him.

The time permitted for deducing techniques using the Dao Integration-level Derivative Jade Token was two days.

Xu Bai stood quietly beneath the sphere, patiently awaiting the final deduction result from the Derivation Law Jade.

However, perhaps due to the excessively demanding nature of Xu Bai’s request, it seemed that the difficulty of deducing this technique had surpassed the capabilities of the Derivation Law Jade.

When a phantom countdown appeared before Xu Bai’s eyes, the little girl was still unable to complete the technique deduction.
