Free Web NovelChapter 632: Chapter 612: The Outcome of the Game
At this moment, in the basement of the Thick Earth Tower, Shen Han was still inside searching for suitable tomes.
Many of these tomes were actually damaged.
The Thick Earth Tower placed them in this Book Collection Pavilion merely as a filler.
But for Shen Han, they still had value.
He sifted through them one by one, looking for tomes useful to him.
The replacement of the old and new cultivation systems thousands of years ago caused many highly valuable Cultivation Techniques to become mediocre.
To even call them chicken ribs would be praise.
Many precious Cultivation Techniques were directly treated as ordinary techniques, mixed together.
While Shen Han searched through them, he also found many basic cultivation methods.
But now that he himself was in the Immortal Realm, these basic cultivation methods weren’t greatly beneficial to him.
If the new cultivation system hadn’t appeared, Shen Han felt these techniques.
Gathering them would be enough to establish a powerful sect.
Occasionally, others would come down to view the Cultivation Technique Manuals in the basement.
When they found someone still in the basement, their faces first showed confusion, then examined Shen Han’s identification token.
They discovered that Shen Han’s acquired identity was just that of a Servant Disciple.
They first frowned slightly but suddenly remembered Shen Han was reading these tomes in the basement.
In an instant, they seemed to realize.
In their minds, they likely thought that staying here to read the Old Method explained why he was a Servant Disciple.
Shen Han didn’t care what others thought.
He continued his search, indifferent to them.
These people came in to check were actually conducting spot-checks on those entering the Book Collection Pavilion to read the tomes.
In Five Immortals City, contributions were something everyone could earn.
Using contributions to exchange for other resources was perfectly acceptable.
But the Cultivation Technique Manuals of Five Immortals City only allowed those with the identity of its disciples to enter.
The higher-grade techniques were only open to Inner Sect Disciples and Direct Disciples.
However, Shen Han didn’t really need those identities.
He never intended to cultivate the so-called New Method.
This was Shen Han’s third day of observation, having sifted through over a hundred scrolls.
At the bottom of a stack of books, Shen Han finally found a tome that seemed to be useful.
[Tome with Slight Errors]
Upon a cursory glance, this tome was titled "Great Tao Fusion Technique."
Unlike other basic cultivation methods, this tome, from the very beginning.
Discusses the advancements after entering the Immortal Realm.
At the very start, the tome even thoughtfully warns that if one’s strength and realm are not yet there.
Do not forcefully comprehend it, lest it affects one’s cultivation path.
In the past, this technique might have been sought after by top experts of the continent.
Perhaps it never expected that one day, it would be discarded and gather dust.
Remove the [Slight Errors] note, and apply the [Simple and Easy to Learn] entry on it.
In the dim basement, Shen Han began to study it earnestly.
In Great Wei, from Junior Fourth Grade onwards, there was actually no correct cultivation method.
To advance from Junior Fourth Grade into Third Grade Immortal Realm relied more on oneself.
Third Grade advancing to Second Grade, Second Grade to First Grade.
There’s no need to speak further on these.
In Great Wei, there was simply no fixed method of advancement.
Even those who reached Second Grade knew they had some good fortune.
In truth, there was no accurate information on how this path of advancement should proceed.
While Great Wei couldn’t clarify, this "Great Tao Fusion Technique" articulates it.
Why is Third Grade referred to as the Immortal Realm in Great Wei?
The most direct reason is that upon reaching Third Grade, one’s strength undergoes a dramatic leap.
In the Immortal Realm, barring seeking death, one hardly dies.
And in the "Great Tao Fusion Technique," it clearly explains.
To charge into Third Grade means to attain extraordinary vitality far beyond ordinary people.
Every part of the body is filled with a massive life force.
Because of this, Immortals appear so powerful before ordinary people.
The immense and vibrant blood essence resembles that of an Immortal compared to ordinary folk.
So why is stepping into Third Grade so difficult?
The reason is that this transformation of the body is not something everyone can achieve.
It’s a metamorphosis present in every part of the body.
Indeed, the scarcity of Immortal Realm experts in Great Wei stems from the lack of a defined cultivation direction.
Continuing to read downward.
Although [Simple and Easy to Learn] has been applied on the "Great Tao Fusion Technique,"
From Shen Han’s personal feeling, the content within still wasn’t simple.
One could only say that at this stage of cultivation, even if simple and easy, it’s not something one learns at a glance.
To move from the Third Grade Immortal Realm to Second Grade is aligning intent with the Dao.
This aligns with what Shen Han heard in Great Wei and Divine Land.
But the "Great Tao Fusion Technique" provides more detail.
Not only aligning one’s intent with the Dao.
The cultivator must also walk the path that belongs to them.
Applying the Dao to one’s mind and body.
After a cultivator walks their path, they can stand firm in Second Grade.
The strength difference among Second Grade Immortals is vast.
The reason is the disparity in their own Dao.
Furrowing his brows, Shen Han quieted his mind and continued to read on.
Aside from this "Great Tao Fusion Technique," Shen Han had not found anywhere else that dared to introduce methods for advancement beyond the Immortal Realm.
Moreover, the introduction in the book was not yet complete.
Further down, there were methods to reach the First Grade Realm.
In Great Wei, only those legendary figures have stepped into that First Grade Realm.
Regarding the First Grade, there are scarcely any records in the manuals, let alone methods for advancing to it.
But in this "Great Tao Fusion Technique," it is still written out.
The First Grade Realm is when the cultivator himself forms a small world.
The self is the Qi Mechanism, the self holds great fortune, and the self is the heaven and earth that grasp the Great Tao.
When one becomes a small world, the so-called Power of Laws naturally falls into one’s hands.
Seeing this, Shen Han’s expression became extremely solemn.
Becoming a small world...
What kind of power is this...
Just by reading these descriptions, one feels it is as hard as ascending to the heavens.
No wonder the people of Southern Heaven Continent have developed a new cultivation system.
This is indeed too difficult.
Shen Han continued to turn the pages; there were still specific methods for cultivation advancement.
It’s not just a few brief directions for advancement.
By the dim light of the lamp, Shen Han strived to memorize the entire "Great Tao Fusion Technique."
In Shen Han’s view, it’s irrelevant how difficult the old cultivation system is.
The concern is the lack of direction and methods for advancement.
Now this biggest obstacle has been resolved.
Shen Han didn’t intend to destroy his cultivation to approach that so-called new cultivation system.
Now, he has found the method for advancement.
No longer does he need to blindly search forward in the dark like a blindfolded person.
Those who move towards the new cultivation system may not advance faster than himself. freewebnσvel.cøm
While Shen Han was deeply observing the "Great Tao Fusion Technique," on the other side, Qianmu Fan and Elder Wenyi’s chess game was nearing its end.
In a moment, Qianmu Fan placed another piece.
Elder Wenyi’s face immediately showed a hint of a smile, as he picked up a white piece and placed it.
With this move, the outcome was decided.
"I lost..."
Qianmu Fan’s face showed a hint of regret, seeming to regret his placement strategy.
Such genuine expression made Elder Wenyi feel even more satisfied with his victory in the game.
"Having played chess for so many years, among my peers, you, child, are the one with the greatest overall perspective and the most meticulous temperament."
"Good, good."
"The ancient sages said that one’s conduct in chess reflects one’s character."
"I approve of you, child."
"But what Ranran’s father thinks in his heart, you’ll have to put in efforts yourself."
Elder Wenyi said with a smile.
And beside him, Wen Ranran couldn’t help but glance at him coyly.
"What are you saying, Grandpa Three..."
"I wasn’t speaking out of turn, a young gentleman should marry, a young lady should wed."
"Both are talented individuals of our Five Immortals City, isn’t it a perfect match?"
Seeing Elder Wenyi wanting to say more, Wen Ranran pushed him and walked away.
After walking a little farther, Elder Wenyi turned his head to look at Wen Ranran.
"The chess game earlier, it was Qianmu Fan deliberately losing to me." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"This child’s chess path, I feel even the dean isn’t his match."
"Fortunately, he understands to give this old man some face."
Hearing this from her Grandpa Three, Wen Ranran couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Hearing her Grandpa Three praise Qianmu Fan, Wen Ranran’s mood was exceptionally good.
"This child’s talent is indeed excellent.
Every time a new path opens up, a batch of top-tier talents emerge.
Qianmu Fan, it seems now, can be considered quite outstanding as well.
However, from his chess strategies, I sense a cautiousness in this child."
To put it bluntly, even overly cautious."
Elder Wenyi stopped talking at this point and turned to Wen Ranran.
"Ranran, young people should have more drive and daring.
To be so conservative at a young age, one might think he’s a middle-aged man hard-pressed by life’s troubles.
Or has he encountered something?"
Initially unhappy hearing her Grandpa Three criticize Qianmu Fan, Wen Ranran became alert at that final question.
Encounter something, hadn’t Qianmu Fan mentioned something to her just now?
Thinking of this, Wen Ranran hesitated no more.
In front of her Grandpa Three, she relayed everything she heard from Qianmu Fan.
Upon hearing that Qianmu Fan had been humiliated in front of others and subsequently refused to play chess, Elder Wenyi seemed to understand.
"This child Qianmu Fan, now appears to have let go of it.
But in truth, there must be a knot hidden within his heart.
Perhaps unknowingly, these knots are secretly affecting him.
If given the chance, Ranran, it’s best if you find a way to help Qianmu Fan completely release the resentment within his heart.
Otherwise, the further he advances in strength, the greater the potential impact he might face."
