Chapter 309 - 309 308 Heavenly Technique Making up for yesterday's missed update

309: Chapter 308 Heavenly Technique (Making up for yesterday’s missed update) 309: Chapter 308 Heavenly Technique (Making up for yesterday’s missed update) Heavenly Court Treasury was classified into four major categories.

Cultivation Techniques, Spiritual Treasures, Elixirs, and Strange Treasures.

Four portals, each radiating Immortal Light that was dazzling to the eyes, hid treasures behind them that could make anyone drool.

As Ye Xuan stepped into the Heavenly Court Treasury, the mere sight of these four portals emitting Immortal Light brightened his eyes.

For Ye Xuan, aside from the Heaven and Earth Holy Medicine that could enhance his cultivation, the so-called Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Treasures were of little use to him.

The Undying Immortal Scripture encompassed everything, and the power of the Heavenly Punishment Halberd was unpredictable; these were Ye Xuan’s biggest trump cards.

Although he didn’t need the Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Treasures, it didn’t mean that the Demon Kings he subdued had no need for them; furthermore, he wanted to seize the position of Heavenly Emperor, so naturally, he had to amass many treasures to recruit more followers.

The only one who could open the Heavenly Court Treasury was the Jade Emperor.

Although this time he entered under the guise of a visit, he naturally couldn’t leave empty-handed.

The Cultivation Technique Pavilion was divided into nine levels.

From the first to the ninth, various Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques were laid out, but each level was guarded by restrictions; without the specific spell to open them, taking out these techniques would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

When Ye Xuan entered the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, a variety of Jade Scrolls entered his sight.

The first three levels of techniques were merely low-end spells, and their restrictions were the weakest; Ye Xuan naturally disdained them.

Ye Xuan ascended the stairs, not stopping until he reached the eighth level.

Immortal Light shone brilliantly, creating a luminous aura; this eighth level of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion contained only eight Jade Scrolls, proving that eight powerful techniques were stored here.

Buzz!

Ye Xuan reached out with a palm, and the Immortal Light surrounding the Jade Scrolls suddenly intensified, fiercely repelling his hand; apparently, the Jade Emperor had not deceived Ye Xuan—there were Forbidden Techniques within the treasury, and forcefully taking them would only cause the Forbidden Techniques to backlash against him.

“Quite interesting.”

Ye Xuan smiled slightly; his hands moved to form a spell, and his Primordial Spirit Void stealthily manifested, allowing his body to turn intangible.

In a flicker of his hands, the eight Jade Scrolls were all absorbed by him.

Primordial Spirit Void was a Forbidden Technique, situated between illusion and reality.

As Ye Xuan had ascended to the status of a Luotian Mystic Immortal, this Primordial Spirit Void had become increasingly enigmatic and godlike, easily breaking these restrictions.

“Vajra Refining Immortal Technique?”

“Three Heads and Six Arms Technique?”

“Green Lotus Sword Song?”

…

As Ye Xuan examined the eight Jade Scrolls one by one, he also articulated the names of these techniques.

“Indeed, these eighth-level techniques are Superior Immortal Techniques, but I wonder what kind of techniques the ninth level holds?” Ye Xuan stored the eight Jade Scrolls and then looked towards the ninth level, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Xuan climbed to the top and walked directly to the ninth level; the so-called restrictions were utterly useless against him.

Once he entered the ninth level, three stone platforms also came into view.

Three Jade Scrolls, wrapped in swirling Immortal Light.

With just one glance, Ye Xuan could ascertain that the techniques recorded in these three Jade Scrolls were certainly extraordinary.

Buzz!

As the Primordial Spirit Void activated, the three Jade Scrolls were absorbed, leaving the ninth level’s restrictions with no reaction whatsoever.

If the Jade Emperor knew how effortlessly Ye Xuan had acquired these three Jade Scrolls, he’d likely be so angry that he’d spurt blood.

“Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations?”

Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that among these three Jade Scrolls, there would be two Immortal Techniques primarily cultivated by Yang Jian.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill was one of the Superior Immortal Techniques in the Three Realms, particularly a technique for achieving saintliness through physical body; by cultivating it to the Supreme Realm, one’s physical body became tremendously strong, claiming to be invincible within the same realm.

The Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations was a Great Divine Power Technique, a technique on par with the Earthly Fiend Seventy Two Transformations, and was hailed as the highest secret technique in the Taoist lineage.

The third Jade Scroll immediately piqued Ye Xuan’s interest, prompting him to inspect it quickly.

“Somersault Cloud?”

Ye Xuan exclaimed in astonishment, his expression extremely strange.

It should be noted that the Somersault Cloud was famous throughout the Three Realms and was one of the great secret techniques of that monkey from the past, boasting the ability to travel 108,000 miles in one somersault.

As one’s cultivation grew stronger, the speed would become unimaginably fast.

Ye Xuan was not lacking in Immortal Techniques, except for the technique of traveling clouds—Somersault Cloud was exactly what he needed to compensate for his deficiencies in movement, allowing him to directly put it into the Sumeru Space.

The visit to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion greatly satisfied Ye Xuan; he not only gathered the most superior Immortal Techniques but also acquired the extremely fast Somersault Cloud.

This made Ye Xuan want to visit the other three pavilions to see if he could gather what he needed.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, he spotted a wooden box in a dark corner of the ninth level.

If Ye Xuan had not seen it with his own eyes, even his Divine Sense would not have detected the existence of this wooden box.

Swoosh!

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he directly drew the wooden box towards him.

As he opened the wooden box, a golden Jade Scroll also appeared before his eyes.

Roar!

Suddenly, a terrifying dragon roar exploded in Ye Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness, instantly turning his face pale, feeling as though his Primordial Spirit was about to be torn apart.

“Stabilize!”

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly, as he quickly formed an Immortal Technique with his hands to stabilize his Primordial Spirit.

Only then did the dragon roar in his Sea of Consciousness gradually subside.

“Is this…

the Heavenly Technique?”

As Ye Xuan sent his Divine Sense into the golden Jade Scroll, a massive amount of information poured into his Divine Sense, causing his expression to shift slightly.

Whew!

Ye Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, closed the wooden box once again, already knowing exactly what this Cultivation Technique was, and then put the Heavenly Technique back in its original place.

Heavenly Technique!

A law of the Ancient Heavenly Court, also the Heavenly Emperor’s Technique, only cultivable by the Heavenly Emperor.

The Jade Emperor is the one who cultivates this law.

However, the cultivation of the Heavenly Technique is extremely complex, requiring the Mountain River Dragon Roar as a support to successfully cultivate the Heavenly Technique.

As the saying goes, one can infer the whole picture from a glimpse.

From the Heavenly Technique, Ye Xuan discovered something extremely grave—that the Jade Emperor was an undying being.

The Heavenly Technique was not created by anyone; it was a Cultivation Technique manifested by the Heavenly Dao Laws.

Cultivating this technique linked one with the fate of the Heavenly Court; as long as the Heavenly Court did not collapse, the Heavenly Emperor could be undying, this was also the essence of the Heavenly Technique.

“No wonder the Jade Emperor is so forbearing and wants me to submit to him, so the Heavenly Technique is so mysteriously unfathomable!” Ye Xuan muttered icily, a cold light flashing through his eyes.

Although the secret weighed heavily on him, Ye Xuan felt neither defeated nor disheartened.

Because Ye Xuan knew that in the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Human, there was no truly undying being.

If there were indeed an existence that could withstand all calamities, it might only be Hong Jun, who had harmonized himself with the Dao.

Even so, Hong Jun might not be truly undying; if the Heavenly Dao were to collapse and the Three Realms were destroyed, even Hong Jun would perish along with his path.

Ye Xuan memorized the entire Heavenly Technique, naturally, he would not cultivate it, because, as powerful as the Heavenly Emperor’s Technique appeared, its drawbacks were also quite obvious—if the Heavenly Court were to collapse, he too would perish along with his path.

However, having noted the flaws of the Heavenly Technique, Ye Xuan harbored some thoughts—if he could properly exploit these flaws, it would give him an immense advantage in seizing the position of the Heavenly Emperor.
