Thus, Qin Luo stared blankly at the spiritual energy that was still gathering in the Origin Sea. In other words, not only had he failed to obtain any heaven-defying supernatural powers, but he also had to create them himself.
"You... never mind, we have to get through this hurdle anyway, so coming early saves us from worrying about it."
Qin Luo had intended to complain, but then he thought that arguing with a cultivation manual that couldn't speak would make him seem too petty.
This sudden change, however, kept Qin Luo's furrowed brows from unseen. He stared at the system panel he had casually opened, seemingly lost in thought, before finally closing it. He then indifferently took out several cultivation techniques or martial arts manuals he had obtained from the women in his system space.
As soon as these martial arts manuals were taken out, Qin Luo sighed:
"Phew! Fortunately, this 'All Things Return to One' technique isn't entirely unreliable; at least it's somewhat useful..."
As the cultivation technique circulated, the jade slips containing the techniques suddenly rose into the air and began to hover around Qin Luo, transforming into streams of light that swirled around him.
The fine, tiny characters peeled off the jade slip and, still hot, seeped into the center of the forehead.
However, the text didn't stay in the air for very long; in just a few breaths, the martial arts technique that was floating in the air fell down with a snap.
"Hiss~ The consumption of spiritual energy is not small, and these are basically divine techniques and martial arts skills. They are still challenging for the current Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique. Only a small part of them were extracted."
"Well, it can be considered as extracting the essence."
Looking at the scattered jade slips containing cultivation techniques on the ground, Qin Luo rubbed his throbbing temples and said helplessly.
The tiny characters that had been extracted seemed to be alive as they roamed through his sea of consciousness, dazzling him.
Even if it's just the core of the technique, it's by no means an easy task for someone without a foundation to fully comprehend it in a short time.
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Qin Luo slapped his forehead, his eyes instantly lighting up:
"I almost forgot about you guys!"
Deep within the Qi Sea, six small divine soul figures occupied one side. The leading golden main divine soul emitted a warm light, while the other five divine souls were respectively surrounded by purple, emerald, silver, azure, and annihilation white auras, as if guarding the five directions.
With a thought, Qin Luo extracted the core of the cultivation technique, which transformed into streams of light and entered the brows of the six divine soul figures.
Instantly, the divine soul figures shone brightly, and all of them closed their eyes.
He had almost forgotten about these divine souls since he hadn't used them for so long. Ever since these divine souls had perfected their respective cultivation techniques, Qin Luo had almost forgotten that they had the ability to cultivate on their own.
Since staying in the Qi Sea is useless right now, it's better to help him comprehend it, which will save him a lot of time.
After doing all this, Qin Luo stretched his body, felt the earth-shaking changes within himself, and breathed a sigh of relief before removing the spirit array he had set up.
As countless spiritual seals dissipated in the void, Qin Luo's figure reappeared on the ninth level of the Abyss.
However, as soon as he removed the spirit array, Qin Luo saw Dean Yuanxuan and the other person looking at him with surprise, as if they had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
Upon seeing this, Qin Luo was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and bowed to greet him.
"Student Qin Luo greets Dean Yuanxuan and Senior Yuanyu."
Dean Yuanxuan stared at the faint aura surrounding Qin Luo, his back suddenly tensing.
This newly promoted saint actually made even a fifth-rank saint like himself feel a faint threat!
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that this boy's talent was truly terrifying.
Suppressing his shock, Dean Yuanxuan stroked his long beard and laughed heartily:
"No need for formalities! You deserve the greatest credit for winning the championship for Lingyuan Sect in this year's academy competition!"
He deliberately softened his tone, but couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes:
“It’s been a century. Since Yunxiao graduated, Lingyuan Sect has never reached the top again. I was worried that you were stuck at the half-step saint realm, but now it seems that I was overthinking it.”
As he spoke, Dean Yuanxuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he gazed into the distance, sighing softly:
"Hundreds of years ago, that kid Yunxiao also amazed the world in the same way. Now he rules the Yun'ai Continent, and everyone in the thirty-six super continents knows the name 'Yunxiao Heavenly Venerable'."
With that, a white cloud flew out from his sleeve, along with an ancient jade tablet. Qin Luo was familiar with the jade tablet; it was the entry token for the Spirit Abyss Treasure Vault that he had obtained during the Freshman Competition. However, the cloud gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through it.
"You must have been to the Lingyuan Treasure Vault before, so I won't explain further."
"The rare and precious materials you requested were beyond the reach of both Yuan Yu and myself, despite our best efforts and exhausting all our connections. After much deliberation, we cannot leave without a reward. While my Lingyuan Sect may not have much to offer, we do have some goodwill to offer. If you encounter difficulties while venturing into countless worlds in the future, simply crush this cloud..."
Yuan Yu spoke up, unusually, his aged voice carrying a hint of amusement:
"Yunxiao values camaraderie among fellow disciples the most. As long as you don't commit anything too heinous, he will definitely protect you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's breathing became rapid. This was support from a Heavenly Origin Realm expert, which was no small feat.
Qin Luo accepted the token with both hands, feeling a warmth in his heart as he looked at the two people before him. As he bowed respectfully, he solemnly said:
"Lingyuan Sect is not only a beacon in the darkness for me, but also a life-giving rain for a withered tree. I, Qin Luo, will never forget the timely help you provided when I was in dire need! If you ever need my assistance, I will gladly die for you, no matter where you are!"
Looking at the gratitude in Qin Luo's eyes, Dean Yuanxuan stroked his beard and chuckled:
"No need for such formalities." Dean Yuanxuan stepped forward, his strong hand landing on Qin Luo's shoulder.
"The lights of Lingyuan Sect can only illuminate your path for a while. The road ahead in your cultivation is long and arduous, and you will have to overcome all obstacles on your own."
"But remember, if one day you are trapped in the fog, look back and the gates of Lingyuan Sect will always be open for you."
After speaking, Dean Yuanxuan patted Qin Luo's shoulder again. As soon as he finished speaking, he and Yuanyu's figures disappeared into the misty spiritual energy of the ninth floor like morning mist. Only the token engraved with cloud patterns and the floating wispy token shone with a warm light in Qin Luo's palm.
Just as Qin Luo put the token into his sleeve, Yuan Yu's aged voice suddenly echoed in Qin Luo's ears:
"Kid, instead of relying on us two old bones, you should ask your girlfriend about the rare and precious herbs you've been longing for."
A voice from Yuan Yu, carrying a faint, trembling spiritual energy, exploded in Qin Luo's ears:
"Maybe someone can easily gather them all for you."
Qin Luo: ? ? ?
This sudden news left Qin Luo stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Senior Yuan Yu had said this, since he knew all about the background of the woman beside him.
Wait a minute! He suddenly realized that he had never really explored Yao Yue's experiences before.
