Chapter 318: Chapter 317 "Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra

"Do you have the ’Mystic Sky Dragon Transformation Technique’?"

Zhong Lin’s eyes also lit up upon hearing this. He wanted to witness a middle-grade Heavenly Grade cultivation technique.

Although he had deduced a new version of the ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill’, it was still Earth Level. To progress further, he needed a plethora of other high-level techniques as evidence.

"You don’t?"

Zhong Lin’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint appearing once more. He tightened his grip on the Mystic Sky Stick.

"Master, though I don’t have it now, I know where it is, and I also have other techniques from the Sea Suppressing Sect. As long as you help me rebuild the Sea Suppressing Sect, I will definitely find it for you." Long Zhao said urgently.

"Trying to get something for nothing, huh? Kid, you’re still too green. Even millennium-old ghosts have suffered at my hands. Who do you think you are?"

Zhong Lin said disdainfully.

"Master, I’m not lying to you. Look."

Long Zhao quickly retrieved a jade scroll from the storage bracelet and handed it over.

Zhong Lin caught it mid-air, then scanned it with his divine thought.

The jade scroll indeed contained a cultivation technique named ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’.

"Master, this ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’ is also a follow-up to the Dragon Elephant Golden Body. It is a low-grade Heavenly Level martial art and one of the three Protecting Sect Skills of the Sea Suppressing Sect.

The so-called ten thousand dragons correspond to the myriad apertures of the body. Once mastered, each aperture contains a strand of Dragon Power. When unleashed, it can transform into a true dragon, capable of overwhelming opponents at the same level."

Zhong Lin allocated a strand of divine thought to quickly flip through, absorbing the content page by page into his mind.

"What an exquisite ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’. Indeed, it is profound and intriguing."

Even though it was just a cursory browse, he could indeed feel this martial art was in the same lineage as the Dragon Elephant Golden Body.

The ’Dragon Elephant Golden Body’ is for body training, enhancing physical robustness, while the ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’ is for Qi cultivation, strengthening one’s spiritual origin.

Just as Long Zhao said, once mastered, it can sweep through opponents at the same level, much like the ’Dragon Elephant Golden Body’.

Glancing at the system panel, due to the lineage shared between the ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’ and ’Dragon Elephant Golden Body’, it was very easy to begin learning this martial art, and the system panel had already formed a skill.

At the very least, getting a free Heavenly Grade technique this time didn’t go to waste.

"Not bad, indeed worthy of being a Heavenly Level martial art, truly profound. You mentioned the Sea Suppressing Sect has three Protecting Sect Skills; what are the other two?"

"The other two are ’Eight Desolate Dragon God Body Protection Skill’ and ’Azure Dragon Eight Forms’. If one can master all three martial arts, surpassing ranks in combat isn’t a problem." Long Zhao boasted.

The Sea Suppressing Sect is a Supreme Sect, naturally having its own deep heritage. Though it was annihilated, that was because the Hundred Battle Sacred Land was too powerful, not because they were weak.

"Can you learn them?"

"This....Master, I am merely an Inner Sect Disciple. The ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’ was taught to me by my master, only True Disciples are qualified to practice all three martial arts simultaneously, but I can indeed find them for you."

"Just you?" Zhong Lin asked skeptically.

"Master, I’m truly not lying to you."

Long Zhao said with a bitter smile, "My master once told me that the sect was cautious about unforeseen disasters breaking its inheritance, so it left Inheritance Lands outside. One of them is located in the Sword Domain, so as long as you help me rebuild the Sea Suppressing Sect, I will definitely get the inheritance for you, and besides, you will eventually leave the Luoxing Islands. Why don’t we support each other?"

"Why do you say that I will leave?"

Zhong Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at Long Zhao curiously.

Long Zhao smiled and said, "The Luoxing Islands are too small, and the resources are too scarce to nurture a dragon like you. With your pride, you could never be satisfied with forming a low-grade Xuandan, only by going to more abundant territories can your needs be met."

Although Zhong Lin didn’t say anything, he secretly nodded in his heart.

As the saying goes, "prepare for a rainy day", although Zhong Lin is currently only at the early stage of the Yunling Realm, he is indeed considering his future core formation.

Postnatal, Innate, Spiritual Origin, Transcendent, and then Xuandan.

Xuandan is formed by the fusion of the essence, energy, and spirit, the embryo of the Dao, the foundation of martial arts, thus, absolutely no mistakes are allowed in future cultivation.

However, Xuandan also has grades, divided into top, middle, and lower thirds, and more finely, from one to Ninth Grade, just like the Ninth Grade martial arts on the Xuangu Turtle Road.

Different grades of Xuandan have significant differences in combat power and future martial achievements.

Simply put, the higher the grade of the Xuandan, the stronger the combat power, and the broader the future.

With Zhong Lin’s current foundation, as soon as the Yunling Realm reaches Perfection, he can directly forge a Xuandan, but at most, it is a Seventh Grade Xuandan, that is, a lower-grade Xuandan, and it is absolutely impossible to break into the middle-grade.

The essence, energy, and spirit are the fundamentals of core formation. In terms of "essence", Zhong Lin has forged a Five Elements Spirit Body, a solid foundation, but in terms of "energy", the ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill’ is only an Earth Level technique, even if the newly acquired Heavenly Grade technique ’Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra’ is mastered, there’s still an ordinary "spirit", incomparable to those disciples from the Holy Lands, being able to forge a Seventh Grade Xuandan is already a blessing.

And those disciples from the Holy Lands have the best resources in every way, practicing various kinds of Heavenly Grade techniques, yet still, they only achieve a middle-grade Xuandan.

To forge a top-grade Xuandan, especially a First Grade among the top grades, requires the help of heavenly spiritual objects.

Most importantly, forging a Xuandan requires a Sixth Grade Elixir, the "Gathering Top Pill".

This is known as the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top".

With the help of this elixir, one can integrate the essence, energy, and spirit into one, forging the Xuandan.

Zhong Lin, confident in the system panel, naturally had no interest in a lower-grade Xuandan.

But whether it’s the "Gathering Top Pill" or the heavenly spiritual objects to enhance the grade of Xuandan, they are not something that can be found on a resource-scarce Luoxing Islands.

So Long Zhao is right, Zhong Lin will inevitably head to the greater Eastern Desolate lands.

"Give me the ’Azure Dragon Sea Suppressing Scripture’."

Long Zhao’s face lit up with joy and exclaimed, "Master, you agree?"

"Let’s take a look first! It is indeed as you said, I will leave Luoxing Islands for Eastern Desolate, but whether I will help you rebuild the Sea Suppressing Sect depends on how things go; if things are impossible..."

"Master, rest assured, if it becomes impossible, you can leave, and as for the skills of the Sea Suppressing Sect, I will certainly find them for you," Long Zhao said joyfully.

Zhong Lin looked at Long Zhao unexpectedly, curiously asking, "Why would you do this?"
