After flying over several mountain peaks, a magnificent nine-story tall tower appeared before his eyes.
Zhang Yuhe quickly descended and saw a long-bearded old man at the entrance of the tall tower, wildly swinging his brush, completely unaware of anyone approaching.
"This Senior truly has an elegant hobby."
Seeing that the Senior guarding the Scripture Building was focused on calligraphy, Zhang Yuhe did not dare to disturb him and instead stood silently waiting.
After a long time, the long-bearded old man's brush strokes continued without pause, which made him curious enough to sneak a couple of glances.
This…
Upon seeing the long-bearded old man's calligraphy, Zhang Yuhe was utterly speechless.
The old man's calligraphy couldn't be described as ugly; it could only be said to be completely unwatchable.
Earlier, seeing the old man so focused, Zhang Yuhe had assumed he must be a grand master of calligraphy in the Cultivation world.
However, reality was completely beyond his expectations; at most, this old man was merely writing words, completely unrelated to calligraphy.
Those characters were probably even worse than those written by kindergarten children on Blue Star, by several notches.
It made him want to shake his head.
To be so focused while writing such illegible characters was truly astounding.
What kind of peculiar taste was this?
After a while longer, the long-bearded old man waved his hand and gently put down the wolf-hair brush.
He picked up his "masterpiece" and examined it carefully, nodding frequently as he looked, quite pleased with himself.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to notice Zhang Yuhe's presence. He picked up the scroll of calligraphy, instantly appeared before Zhang Yuhe, and proudly asked,
"Young man, I'll let you feast your eyes. How do you think this piece of calligraphy is?"
Zhang Yuhe considered himself a straightforward person and didn't want to say anything against his conscience, so he could only remain silent.
Silence was his final stand.
"Hmph, what an ignorant young fellow."
The old man evidently saw through his thoughts and seemed displeased.
"Which peak's Disciple are you? What brings you here?"
The old man was clearly still angry, and his words showed no kindness towards Zhang Yuhe.
He was here to exchange for a Cultivation Technique, of course. The Scripture Building was a vital area of the Dao Saint Sect; if not for exchanging Cultivation Techniques, who would dare to wander around here idly?
Wasn't that asking for trouble?
Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel some regret.
If only he had known, he would have praised him a couple of times against his will. Look at the mess this has become…
Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world, nor a Moonlight Treasure Box, to let him return to a few seconds ago.
Zhang Yuhe could only reply softly,
"This Disciple is Zhang Yuhe from Silver River Peak, here to exchange for a Cultivation Technique."
After speaking, he handed over his identity jade token.
The old man took the jade token, glanced at it, and said with some disdain,
"Oh, so you're the kid who got lucky, picked up a token, and just joined the Sect?"
The old man's words made Zhang Yuhe even more uneasy.
Having offended this Elder guarding the Scripture Building by not praising him just now, would the matter of the Cultivation Technique fall through?
Just as Zhang Yuhe was feeling anxious, the old man waved his hand, throwing a thin booklet towards him, then said indifferently,
"Look for yourself. Tell me when you've chosen."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. He joyfully took the booklet and quickly opened it to examine.
The booklet was not a Cultivation Technique itself, but rather contained corresponding introductions to the Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Building.
Opening the first page of the booklet, lines of small characters came into view.
"Blazing Flame True Scripture," Fire attribute Cultivation Technique, Heaven Rank High Grade.
This is a top-tier Cultivation Technique that directly leads to the Immortal Realm. With this Cultivation Technique, one can Cultivate all the way to Mahayana and Ascension.
Moreover, the Divine Ability that comes with this Cultivation Technique is also extremely powerful.
The Divine Ability, Blazing Flame Burning Heaven, possesses the might to incinerate mountains and boil seas. Once fully unleashed by a powerful individual, it can even burn through the Void Realm.
"This Cultivation Technique is so powerful, should I learn this one?"
Seeing the introduction to the "Blazing Flame True Scripture," Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
He could absolutely learn a Fire attribute Cultivation Technique. He possessed all eight Spiritual Roots, and they were all top-tier Dao Grade Spiritual Roots.
By common sense, he would have no obstacles learning any attribute of Cultivation Technique.
"Still, let's look at other Cultivation Techniques first."
Although he was tempted, Zhang Yuhe decided to look further first.
He then turned to the next page.
"Overturning Sea True Scripture," Water attribute Cultivation Technique, Heaven Rank High Grade…
As he flipped through page after page, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but marvel at the Dao Saint Sect's profound heritage.
"It's truly too strong."
After continuously flipping through eight pages, all of them recorded Heaven Rank High Grade Cultivation Techniques, with a corresponding Cultivation Technique for each of the eight attributes.
"Which Cultivation Technique should I choose?"
According to the introductions in the booklet, every single Cultivation Technique listed was incredibly powerful, leaving him unable to make a choice at once.
He subconsciously flipped the booklet in his hand again.
"Eh, there's another page after this."
"Holy cow…"
When Zhang Yuhe turned to the ninth page, he was completely stunned.
"Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture," Immortal Grade (Suspected), Divine Ability (Unknown), can only be known after fully comprehending the Cultivation Technique.
Warning: This Cultivation Technique requires possessing all eight Spiritual Roots to Cultivate, and the Cultivation difficulty is extremely high (there may also be other special requirements).
In the millions of years since the Dao Saint Sect's establishment, no one has ever successfully achieved Foundation Establishment with this Cultivation Technique.
Please consider carefully before choosing this Cultivation Technique.
Zhang Yuhe held the booklet, speechless for a long time, so conflicted.
Undoubtedly, the previous eight Cultivation Techniques were all grand Dao paths.
Choosing any one of them would allow him to reach the pinnacle of the Yu Fan Heaven World, and even Ascension to the Immortal Realm would not be an issue.
However, the allure of that last "Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture" was simply too great.
An Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique, even if only suspected, would inevitably have incredible effects.
Otherwise, why would other Cultivation Techniques be clearly marked with their grades, while this "Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture" was merely "suspected Immortal Grade"?
This Cultivation Technique clearly had a profound origin. Even if no one had ever successfully Cultivated it, the Dao Saint Sect still carefully preserved it in the Scripture Building.
Zhang Yuhe's mind raced.
Why had no one been able to Cultivate the "Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture" throughout all these years?
Was it due to insufficient innate talent? Or inadequate Comprehension Ability? Or were there other reasons?
Zhang Yuhe pondered while examining the contents of the booklet.
The description of the "Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture" in the booklet was very brief. Soon, one particular sentence caught his attention.
[Cultivation difficulty extremely high (there may also be other special requirements)]
Special requirements?
Could that be why?
Those who had attempted to Cultivate this Cultivation Technique had not met certain requirements, which was why they couldn't succeed?
Seeing this sentence, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but speculate.
"But what exactly are these special requirements?"
With a Cultivation Technique suspected to be Immortal Grade right in front of him, he didn't want to give up.
However, if he didn't clarify the issue, he wouldn't dare to make a rash choice.
If he couldn't Cultivate it either, that would be a huge problem.
Although he considered himself a super Cultivation Genius, it was clear that successfully Cultivating the "Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture" was not a matter of ordinary talent.
The Dao Saint Sect had existed in this realm for millions of years; it certainly didn't lack Geniuses.
Zhang Yuhe didn't think that just because others couldn't do something, he could.
He wasn't that arrogant.
There should be a certain degree of compatibility required here. Only by meeting the requirements of this Cultivation Technique would it be possible to Cultivate it successfully.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Zhang Yuhe.
"Mixed Origin Heavenly Scripture, Primordial Dao Body."
"Could it be that Cultivating this Cultivation Technique requires a corresponding special Physique, such as the Primordial Dao Body?"
Instantly, Zhang Yuhe felt that he had grasped the key to the matter.
