Chapter 258: Master, I Was Wrong

"What?"

"Heavenly Tier cultivation technique?"

"Is it real or fake?"

"This... am I dreaming?"

A Heavenly Tier cultivation technique—that wasn't just high-level; for ordinary cultivators, it was something they didn't even dare to imagine.

Counting every sect in this Red Stone Commandery, which one had a Heavenly Tier cultivation technique?

Impossible.

"Fellow Daoist Xu..." Lin Zifang said with an eager face, "This Heavenly Tier cultivation technique of yours, it shouldn't be complete, right?"

"It doesn't matter, even if it's incomplete, I can accept it!"

See!

If Lin Zifang were to think for himself, he wouldn't even dare to imagine that he could possess a complete Heavenly Tier cultivation technique.

"No..." He Ping shook his head and said, "I just said, this cultivation technique of mine is complete!"

"And it is non-attribute; cultivators with any type of Linggen can practice it!"

"What?"

"Complete?"

The crowd was truly unsettled.

He Ping slowly took a book out of his storage bag.

Simple and unadorned.

It was just a book.

*Slap*...

The book was tossed onto the table by him.

Five large characters on the book pierced into everyone's eyes: *Hehuan Jiji Jing*.

A playful smile appeared on He Ping's face as he said, "Although the cultivation technique is good, Fellow Daoist Lin, this thing is a Joyous Union cultivation technique!"

"The content inside is also complete, from the Qi Condensation stage to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"However... this is not the original!"

"It's just a transcribed copy!"

"Fine!" Lin Zifang said, "I'll trade, as long as the transcription inside has no errors, that's fine!"

He Ping said, "There shouldn't be any errors; you can compare it with my original copy later!"

Lin Zifang hurriedly took away the transcribed copy, then took out the second half of the formation manual and handed it to He Ping.

Two jade slips.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!" Lin Zifang said, "This item of mine is not a transcription, but the original version, my Lin family's inherited formation manual!"

He Ping nodded.

Although he found it strange in his heart why the Lin family, a dignified cultivation family with a Nascent Soul ancestor presiding, would allow a disciple to sell the family's top-tier formation manual, He Ping still didn't interrupt to ask.

This matter had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, he was trading normally.

*Slap*...

He tossed the original version out again and gave it to Lin Zifang, letting Lin Zifang compare it himself.

He Ping himself, however, sank his spiritual sense into the two jade slips.

The formation name was 【Formation Treasure Book】, simple and unadorned.

The first half recorded the basic principles of formations, which required comprehension.

The second half recorded some formation layouts, containing the specific setup methods for over four hundred major formations.

He Ping, being bored anyway, just slowly read toward the back.

Suddenly, he saw a piercing formation.

The moment he saw this formation, it even made He Ping's body tremble slightly.

That formation was very special; it was composed of two circles.

One was a large circle, and one was a small circle.

Looking at these two circles together, the appearance was like a gourd.

Possession formation!

Back then, it was precisely this formation that the old thing Tai Xu used to attempt possession on him, He Ping.

Fortunately, the possession failed.

*Huu*...

He Ping closed his eyes, letting his mood calm down slightly, then his spiritual sense washed over the formation again.

After looking for three breaths of time, He Ping was stunned.

This...

Isn't this a possession formation?

This formation looked almost exactly the same as the one Tai Xu had set up back then!

However, the name was vastly different.

The name of this formation was 【Princess Tian Yao Soul-Melting Transmission Formation】.

Transmission formation?

He Ping took a deep breath, calmed his heart and spirit, suppressed his emotions temporarily, and then looked at the general outline of this formation.

The general outline contained an introduction to the entire formation.

After reading it, He Ping suddenly felt unwell.

The old man's face appeared before him once again.

His voice and smile were as if they were yesterday.

"I do not ask you to carry forward the Profound Heaven Sect; I only ask that you provide these disciples with shelter, so they don't end up with nowhere to stand, wandering everywhere as wild cultivators!"

"This matter is judged by the heart, not by the traces. As long as you can agree, if any strange changes occur in the middle and you cannot hold onto this Profound Heaven Sect, then there is no need to die defending it."

"But you must remember one thing: as long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood!"

"As long as a person is alive, there is hope for everything!"

"Remember, if you can't beat them, run!"

Sentence after sentence, as if it were yesterday.

At this very moment, the old man's terrifying and aged image became somewhat kind.

"Master..."

The corners of He Ping's eyes were slightly moist.

"Fellow Daoist Xu... what's wrong with you?" Ling Zhiwang asked, seeing He Ping acting somewhat out of character.

The rest of the people also looked at He Ping.

He Ping smiled, the moisture in his eyes vanished instantly, and he said, "I saw a formation, thought of my master who has already passed away, and couldn't help but feel sorrow from within. Everyone... excuse me, hehehe..."

Bai Ni looked deeply at He Ping and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu is a man of true temperament; that is understandable!"

He Ping then put this formation into his storage bag and stopped looking at it.

As for that 【Princess Tian Yao Soul-Melting Transmission Formation】, it was simple: it was just a formation for transmitting techniques.

In this world, the inheritance methods of the human race and the demon race are different.

What does the human race rely on?

They rely on word of mouth, and records in classics and jade slips.

But the demon race is different.

The cultivation techniques of the demon race are inherited through bloodlines.

After a demon child is born, they will gradually awaken the talents within their own bloodline.

There is no need for word of mouth, and there won't be any errors.

Then, what is this 【Princess Tian Yao Soul-Melting Transmission Formation】 used for?

The answer is: to inherit human divine abilities and spells using the demon race's method.

Approximately after condensing a Golden Core, this inheritance would be awakened.

So, from beginning to end, Master never thought of possessing me.

So, from beginning to end, Master was always thinking of passing the *Profound Heaven Great Profound Scripture* to me.

But the problem is... why not pass it to me directly, but instead go through such great effort to inherit it?

On this point, He Ping couldn't figure it out.

However, since Master did it this way, there must be his reasons.

Later, as long as I break through to the Golden Core realm, I should awaken the inheritance of this 【Profound Heaven Great Profound Scripture】, and at that time, Master's intentions will definitely be clear.

"Alright!"

Lin Zifang gave the original 【Hehuan Jiji Jing】 to He Ping and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, sure enough, there are no errors at all!"

He Ping put away the original: "Good that there are no errors!"

"And this!" Lin Zifang tossed the Sacred Wood Shield over and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, let me return this to you as well!"

He Ping was somewhat surprised: "You don't want it anymore?"

"Don't want it anymore!" Lin Zifang shook his head and said, "How can a person be too greedy? This Heavenly Tier Joyous Union cultivation technique is already more than enough to trade for my fifth-tier formation treasure book; there is simply no need to give me any extra top-tier magic treasure!"

"Everyone, the item I wanted is already in hand, I'm leaving!"

After finishing, Lin Zifang left in a hurry. ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
