The cultivator on duty at the library noticed the flying talisman and easily grasped it. After channeling his magical power, he immediately realized it belonged to Senior-Martial Uncle Jiang Yun. Without delay, he activated the formation and stood up to greet him.
During this time, Master Jiang Yun had become a legend in Biyun City. Everyone knew that on his first day in Biyun City, he had Ling Bo, a renowned Foundation Establishment cultivator, bare-chested and carrying a thorny thorn on his back, apologize for his crime.
Wang Yue, who had been somewhat of a bully in the outer city, was easily captured and brought directly into the city. He had become extremely low-key over the past year. Each of these actions was something other cultivators would never be able to achieve in their entire lives.
"Uncle Jiang!"
The person on duty inside was an inner disciple in the late Qi Refining stage, who respectfully welcomed Jiang Yun in.
"Books about the realms of cultivation, especially those from the Jindan stage onwards."
"Uncle Master, these books are all on the second floor. Please follow me."
After the other party finished speaking, he took Jiang Yun through the many bookcases on the first floor and then came to a staircase.
"The above is some knowledge about the Golden Core. Only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage or higher can read it briefly, but it's no problem for Uncle Master. I'll wait here!"
After saying that, the other party took out a jade talisman and gently activated it. Suddenly, a stream of light flew up the stairs. Jiang Yun then discovered that the entrance to the second floor was also protected by a formation.
As the light flew in, a gap soon opened in the second-floor formation. Jiang Yun walked up slowly and found a cultivator with completely white hair sitting quietly on a cushion, staring at him.
"Greetings, Senior!"
Jiang Yun's spiritual sense swept over him and he immediately discovered that this person was a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. However, he looked like he was nearing the end of his lifespan and his body was slowly weakening. He was probably very old, so calling him "senior" was not an exaggeration.
"You can look through it at will, but you can't take it away!"
When the other party saw Jiang Yun, he slowly closed his eyes and spoke in an old and hoarse voice.
"yes"
Seeing that the other party continued to rest behind closed doors, Jiang Yun picked up a book at random and began to browse.
"Yan Yang Gong?"
"Rock Skill?"
Jiang Yun browsed through them casually and found that they were all very common exercises, which could probably be cultivated to the Golden Core Realm. Moreover, there were restrictions at the back, so he could only read the Qi Refining and Foundation Building parts.
This is a place for cultivators who have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation to come and refer to. Jiang Yun finally understood the significance of these techniques. This is the difference between a sect and other independent cultivators.
Sects have numerous manuals on cultivation techniques. One can apply different techniques to other techniques. However, it's quite a feat for a casual cultivator to acquire a single technique. Therefore, casual cultivators who succeed in cultivating immortality are often extremely powerful individuals.
After searching for a while, Jiang Yun finally found a book of essays on the realm of immortal cultivation. He opened the book and the first paragraph immediately caught his eye.
"I've heard that the path to immortality isn't straightforward. First, there's Qi Refining, then Foundation Building, then Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and finally, Spirit Transformation. Only those with exceptional talent can achieve this. I'll briefly describe the mysteries of each realm here for future generations to study."
Jiang Yun then realized that this was probably written by an unknown senior. The reason why it could be on the second floor was because the other party had described the Nascent Soul and even the God Transformation in it.
Jiang Yun read on bit by bit and found that the realms recorded by the other party were exactly the realms in the world of immortal cultivation, namely Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation.
Judging from the situation, the other party had probably only reached the Divine Transformation stage. As for the realms above that, only those mentioned ascension to the spiritual realm could be understood. The pinnacle of this world was the Divine Transformation stage.
But after reading it, Jiang Yun became even more confused. Could it be that the skills he obtained belonged to the spiritual world? He searched through the entire library of classics, but did not see any records about Yin Gods and Yang Gods.
Perhaps he saw Jiang Yun's doubts, the old cultivator guarding the library opened his eyes and said:
"Didn't find what you wanted?"
Although he closed his eyes, he was not blind and saw Jiang Yun's confusion. The other party had been standing there for a while.
"Yes, Senior. I saw a record of Yin God, Yang God, and Yuan Shen in an extremely ancient book. I wanted to learn more about it, but I only saw the realm of Hua Shen. So I am a little confused."
"Yin God?"
The old foundation-building cultivator heard this and murmured softly, then thought for a moment before saying:
"I remember seeing some simple records in the Ronan sect's library. That was when we were sorting out the books in the old library. Most of the books in there were extremely ancient, but they were of no help to cultivation, so they were basically placed at the back."
When Jiang Yun heard this, he thought the other party might have heard it before, so he didn't want to interrupt him and started listening to whatever he said.
"Finally, while drying books, I found a very old tome. I casually glanced at it and saw a different path to a different realm of cultivation. There was no Nascent Soul, only the Golden Core, followed by the Yin Spirit, the Yang Spirit, and finally the Yuan Spirit. I was extremely excited at the time, thinking I had discovered some incredible secret.
In his excitement, he was spotted by the Foundation Establishment Deacon nearby. He snatched the book, read through it, and burst into laughter. He said it was a realm from ancient times, but it had been lost for who knows how long. Even if such a technique existed, it would probably not be suitable for today's era.
Hearing this, Jiang Yun finally realized that the realms of Yin and Yang were actually ancient cultivation techniques. He felt a little worried. Did he have to change his cultivation technique?
After listening to the old man's chatter, Jiang Yun clasped his fists and said goodbye to him, then left the library in a daze, completely unaware of the inner disciples who were there to see him off.
"Not suitable?"
He sat in the training room, quietly recalling everything that had happened since he obtained the secret manual. His first training session, the different power, the Purple Flame True Fire.
Jiang Yun thought about this and subconsciously began to practice his skills, feeling the powerful mana within him. The first skill he had practiced during his Qi Refining period was the Hunyuan Sutra that Jiang Qiuyue had found for him. However, after practicing to the late stage, he switched to the Purple Qi Sutra, and his realm regressed to the early stage of Qi Refining.
Furthermore, his progress in cultivation had been extremely rapid and steady, with no issues preventing him from continuing. His combat power was also number one among his peers. Thinking of this, Jiang Yun suddenly felt a surge of pride.
"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Voices can be deceiving, but realms and achievements can't!"
At this point, Jiang Yun's Dao heart became more stable. He firmly believed that the technique he practiced was the strongest. He would not appear, and the possibility of his Yin Shen cultivation not improving would not exist.
"Fighting with others brings endless joy!"
Jiang Yun felt that his soul had been condensed a little more, and he finally knew that his choice was right.
