"Don't try to fool me. I'm ready to take the test from the Lord of War. If I succeed, I will be the fifth guardian of the Lord of War's tomb. Then I will have priority in choosing the items in the Lord of War's tomb!" Jiang Yuan dropped another bombshell.

"You intend to accept the Lord of War's test?" The spirit of the temple was somewhat surprised. It asked doubtfully, "Now that even the Lord of War has passed away, becoming a tomb guardian will not bring any benefits. Are you sure you want to accept the Lord of War's test?"

“If it’s beneficial and harmless, why wouldn’t I accept it?” Jiang Yuan countered.

"Do you think that once the Lord of War has passed away, the tomb keeper can leave the tomb?" The spirit of the temple let out a strange laugh.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. He had indeed originally thought that way. After all, the Lord of War had fallen and the Battle of Gods had ended. Even if he became the Lord of War's tomb guardian, he would still be free and could even receive a series of benefits left behind by the Lord of War. Why not?

"It seems you already have the answer in your heart. In that case, as long as you have the ability to obtain the treasure, why not give it to you?"

Before Jiang Yuan could speak, the spirit of the hall took out two boxes shrouded in light. "These are not among the treasures that were given as gifts, but since the Yangxin Pavilion has already fallen into ruin, there is no point in keeping these treasures!"

The first box was opened, and inside lay a jade slip with three exquisitely carved ancient characters on its surface.

"The Heart-Nourishing Mantra!" Jiang Yuan immediately recited the words.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's reaction, Dian Ling was not surprised. He simply opened the second box, which contained a piece of emerald green wood. The wood was only a foot long, but the rich life force on its surface was not to be underestimated.

"This is the Heart-Nourishing Wood, which, along with the Heart-Nourishing Technique, is known as the two fundamental pillars of the Heart-Nourishing Pavilion." The spirit of the hall spoke with a hint of reluctance, as if it had taken a great deal of effort to bring out these two items.

"Are you giving me both of these?" Jiang Yuan asked shamelessly.

"You wish!" the spirit retorted directly. It closed the two boxes and said slowly, "You can only take one of these two items, and you must have the ability to take it!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.

The spirit of the hall said, "Whether it's the Mind Nourishing Technique or the Mind Nourishing Wood, they both possess spirituality. If one's character is not up to par, not only will taking them away be difficult, but even protecting one's own safety will be a challenge!"

"They'll attack me too?" Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard that he couldn't protect himself. In this day and age, even picking out a treasure requires risking your life?

The spirit of the hall didn't explain, but instead said, "The Mind Nourishing Technique is a top-tier spiritual-level cultivation method within the Godfall Battlefield. Mastering it not only enhances spiritual and soul power but also increases resistance to charm-based skills. As for the Mind Nourishing Wood, it's a unique treasure. If you trace its origins, it has a very impressive background, as it's a fragment of the root of a divine-level spiritual tree from the Godfall Battlefield. Therefore, carrying it with you year-round not only wards off evil and protects your body but also helps cultivate your character, making its effects no less than cultivating the Life Nourishing Technique!"

"How will you choose?"

The spirit tablet in the hall seemed to be hinting at something, waiting for Jiang Yuan to make a choice.

"They don't sound very useful at all!" Jiang Yuan was used to seeing good things, so he was a little dissatisfied when he heard about these two imperfect treasures.

What does a Spirit-level cultivation technique mean? His Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique already has the Void Spirit Chapter, which means he has stepped into the Spirit level. However, even among Spirit-level treasures, there are differences in quality. Techniques like the Heart Nourishing Technique are too much of a supportive skill and do not significantly improve combat power.

"Heh!" The spirit of the palace chuckled, then continued, "I don't know what the environment will be like when this battlefield opens, but I can tell you one thing for sure: the cultivation method is one of the most popular techniques in the Godfall Battlefield. It's something that you can only come across once in a lifetime."

"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan showed a hint of confusion. On Earth's battlefields, the most popular cultivation methods were undoubtedly body tempering techniques, attribute techniques, and even enhancement skills were more popular than mental cultivation methods.

"Because the Battlefield of Fallen Gods possesses the power of divine blood, which, in other words, is the inherited power carrying the scattered wills of the gods. Those who want to become stronger in the Battlefield of Fallen Gods must absorb more divine blood power. However, absorbing more divine blood power means that a large amount of the will of the gods will enter your body. Without a sufficiently strong mind, it is impossible to suppress or even eliminate these wills of the gods. If left unchecked, you will become a beast with only power but no control. Therefore, an excellent mental cultivation technique is essential for every warrior!" The Palace Spirit explained at length.

"There's such a saying!" Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.

"Choose one. Only two or three palaces in the eighteen front halls can offer you treasures. Once this opportunity is gone, there won't be another one like it!" the hall spirit said impatiently.

"Let me take a look first!"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he activated the Sky Eye to identify the two items. Soon, the mystery was unveiled by the Sky Eye's identification.

Nourishing the Heart Technique, Rank: Spirit, Quality: Perfect, Effect: Only with a pure and untainted heart can one reach the pinnacle, increasing the power of all skills by one percent.

Heart-Nourishing Wood, Rank: None, Quality: Perfect, Effect: Only with a pure heart can one reach the pinnacle, increasing the power of all skills by 3%.

Looking at the two treasures with almost identical effects, Jiang Yuan hesitated only briefly before immediately using deep appraisal.

The results of the in-depth analysis revealed two words after "Nourishing the Heart Manual": "incomplete" and "beginner"; as for "Nourishing the Heart Wood," no further useful information was found.

The incompleteness of the Heart Cultivation Technique implies that there are further stages to it, meaning that it's not just at the Spirit level, but there are even higher realms to come. As for the entry level, Jiang Yuan is much more familiar with it; isn't this simply a classification of proficiency levels?

However, what puzzled him was that the Mind Cultivation Technique did not show a clear level of proficiency; it was only at the beginner level, which left him somewhat at a loss.

"I recommend you choose the Heart-Nourishing Wood, because it's ready to use right away and will last you until you reach the True Spirit Realm!" the spirit suggested.

Jiang Yuan gained a preliminary understanding of the two items. The Heart Nourishing Technique had a lower starting point, but there was still room for improvement. The Heart Nourishing Wood, on the other hand, had a higher starting point and was not as complicated to master as the Heart Nourishing Technique, but its strength was fixed and could only increase by three percent forever.

"Spirit Hall, I'd like to ask if the Heart Nourishing Technique becomes stronger with increasing proficiency?" Jiang Yuan wasn't sure if the Final Battlefield and the Godfall Battlefield were on the same system, or if quantifiable proficiency could directly enhance the Heart Nourishing Technique like in the Godfall Battle, so he felt it necessary to ask.

"This is inevitable. All techniques and skills imbued with the power of laws will become stronger as proficiency increases. This is due to a deeper understanding of the power of laws. Although it's impossible to pinpoint exactly what it is, the differences are real!" The spirit of the temple affirmed the existence of proficiency and even used the term "imbued with the power of laws."

"Great, I choose this one!"

Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed the Heart Nourishing Manual.
