Chapter 302

Not bad!

This works too!

Yan Buji held one jade scroll after another, practicing mental techniques mainly to make up for his shortcomings in using his spiritual sense; while filling those gaps, he also enriched his means against opponents.

Like Yan Buji now has mastered three kinds of mental defense techniques, five kinds of mental attack techniques, and two kinds of auxiliary techniques for cultivating his spiritual sense.

However, the last scroll, Yan Buji discovered a very peculiar mental technique; this technique is called the 'God-Evasion Technique', a rather obscure method that uses an outburst of spiritual sense to increase one's own speed.

This technique requires the practitioner to have very strong control over their spiritual sense, even reaching a very subtle level before it can be used.

Yan Buji, thanks to the Golden Foil Pattern, managed to get a shortcut; in his practice he understood these subtle techniques of using spiritual sense, which was also a great gain!

But he still needs to practice more, to deepen his memory.

Yan Buji stood up satisfied, looking at the dazed A Jiu, and asked, 'Princess, what's wrong?'

'You.... In just three days, you've learned all the techniques here?' A Jiu came back to his senses and exclaimed in shock.

'Three days have already passed?'

Yan Buji felt a bit and realized he wasn't fatigued at all; it seems after breaking through Martial Dao Foundation Establishment, the Golden Foil Pattern's burden on his spiritual sense has lessened considerably.

But it's also possible that these mental techniques he learned aren't that high-level, so they consume very little spiritual sense.

'Your talent for Magical Cultivation is astonishingly high—why are you only at the Lianqi Phase now?' A Jiu asked strangely.

'I just learn techniques quickly, but because the cultivation method involves the fundamentals, I dare not rush the pace.' Yan Buji laughed.

A Jiu took a deep breath, looking at Yan Buji: 'If it's you...'

'What's wrong?'

'Envoy, if I ask you to explore a secret realm, would you refuse?'

'A secret realm? What secret realm?'

Yan Buji looked strange; even if the North Asura tribe had a secret realm here, it would probably be under their control. However, given A Jiu's status and position, no one would likely stop him.

'This secret realm.... only Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators can enter, and they also need strong spiritual sense. The key is that one must also cultivate a human clan's cultivation method to be able to enter.'

'Huh?'

A Jiu looked at Yan Buji: 'In detail, I'll take you to see my father; he'll explain it clearly.'

Yan Buji felt a bit dazed; hearing A Jiu's meaning, that secret realm was left behind by a human cultivator?

But the New Nether Realm has been cut off from the outside world for so long, it's still an ancient era matter; back then there probably weren't any powerful magical cultivators, right?

Yan Buji wasn't entirely clear, but after all it's a secret realm, so he still planned to go take a look.

Soon after.

Yan Buji followed A Jiu to find the North Asura King; not knowing what A Jiu had said in front of the North Asura King, the latter looked at him with a face full of surprise:

'Envoy, your talent for Magical Cultivation is astonishingly high—no wonder you can practice Martial and Law Dual Cultivation.'

'Your Majesty overpraises me; Princess A Jiu said there is a secret realm left behind by a human cultivator—I don't know what's going on.'

The North Asura King nodded: 'That secret realm is actually not something left by an ordinary person; we suspect it was a disciple of some sage who accidentally died in the New Nether Realm, thus solidifying the secret realm left in heaven and earth.'

'A sage disciple's Lingyu?!' Yan Buji was utterly shocked.

'Lingyu? Is that what you call it? But it's pretty much the same.' The North Asura King said.

'If that's the case, isn't that place very dangerous?'

'Saying it's dangerous isn't really that dangerous; that disciple doesn't know how many years he's been dead, the secret realm's restrictions are strong, but originally only Lianqi Phase cultivators could pass, now it's changed to allow Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to enter. Moreover, there really are many heavenly treasures and earthly riches inside; someone even discovered a spiritual fruit that can prolong lifespan, and according to the king's perusal of the clan's genealogical history, it should be the legendary Grass-Returning Elixir.'

'Grass-Returning Elixir?!'

'Of course it's not that nine-turn immortal plant, but a six-turn immortal plant grown from transplanted roots, a Grass-Returning Elixir tree.'

Yan Buji took a deep breath.

Now he has to go anyway.

He's almost a hundred years old; although he has Martial Dao Foundation Establishment, he still doesn't know how much his lifespan can be extended. Thinking back to the arduous practice of the Nine Turns cultivation and the severed Martial Dao, this lifespan-extending Grass-Returning Elixir is absolutely essential!

The North Asura King smiled: 'However, obtaining that six-turn immortal plant is not that easy; fortunately, the talents under my command have managed to obtain that sage disciple's cultivation method, and only after mastering it can one enter the central area where the six-turn immortal plant resides, but....'

'Oh, no one has managed to cultivate it?'

'Yeah, I also have this cultivation method here, but Envoy, do you really want to cultivate it?'

'Could it be that this cultivation method has some problem?'

'The problem is, even I don't know what this cultivation method is actually good for.'

Huh?

Yan Buji looked strange, watching the North Asura King take out an ancient-looking scroll; this scroll-format method of transmission indeed existed only in ancient times.

'Take a look, this cultivation method is called....'

Yan Buji widened his eyes: 'Heaven Gate Law!'

The North Asura King looked at Yan Buji, who seemed somewhat excited, and asked doubtfully: 'Envoy, you know this cultivation method?'

'This.... sigh, I roughly know why one must cultivate this method to enter the central area.' Yan Buji chuckled.

'Oh?'

'If I'm not mistaken, the central area and the secret realm are not in the same spacetime, but are offset.' Yan Buji said.

The North Asura King raised his eyebrows: 'It seems the Envoy truly knows this cultivation method. Could this Heaven Gate Law possibly be a method for traversing space?'

'Indeed, the Heaven Gate Law has ancient origins; it was originally created by ancient cultivators to traverse the Nine Heavens.' Yan Buji said.

He also never expected that the Heaven Gate Law, which had caused him quite a miserable situation, would appear again before him.

However, looking at this Heaven Gate Law, it really seems to be the most ancient version of the Heaven Gate Law, not the improved Void-Evasion Gate he had previously cultivated.

But can he himself cultivate it to completion?

Upon hearing that, the North Asura King nodded: 'I see, but since this method involves traversing space, Envoy, do you have confidence you can master it?'

'I'll give it a try, but this doesn't guarantee I can master it; after all, the Heaven Gate Law is extremely difficult to cultivate.' Yan Buji furrowed his brows, speaking solemnly.

Well then, there are still a few years until the next secret realm opens; the divine envoy can just stay here in peace and study this Dharma.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Anyway, Yan Buji's missionary mission had already ended; staying inside the North Asura tribe is not a big problem.

Bearing the title of Lord of the Starry Sky, Yan Buji's personal safety is still quite guaranteed.

Unless the North Asura King takes action, Yan Buji feels he can still pass some time in the Youming Jie.
