Chapter 514: Chapter 206: Cultivation Insights, Entering the Water Hall (Combined)_2
With the experience from the first formation, the remaining two were somewhat easier to break, taking just six hours for Lin Jing to dismantle both.
After obtaining the two Jade Slips, Lin Jing did not look at them immediately but instead continued his exploration inside the grand hall.
He first went to the Teleportation Array at the back, examined it thoroughly, and then made a round throughout the entire hall.
However, he didn’t find anything.
In the end, Lin Jing turned his attention to the towering statue, a depiction of the creator of the Immortal Five Elements Technique, the Five Elements Ancestor.
The said Five Elements Ancestor was mentioned within the Jade Slip left by the unknown predecessor.
Legend has it that the Five Elements Ancestor was a powerful cultivator from the Ancient Era who, with his own Five Elements Spiritual Root, created the Immortal Five Elements Technique and the Five Elements Divine Art.
He forcefully carved out a path of cultivation unique to cultivators with the Five Elements Spiritual Root.
Furthermore,
after achieving success in his practice, he didn’t just keep these techniques to himself but instead took in disciples, passing the methods down and bringing a glimmer of hope to many cultivators possessing the Five Elements Spiritual Root.
It is for this reason that he came to be revered as the Five Elements Ancestor.
As time passed and the world changed, with spiritual energy becoming increasingly scarce, the once common Five Elements Spiritual Root gradually became the Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, no longer suitable for cultivation.
From that time, the Immortal Five Elements Technique, being only suitable for cultivators with the Five Elements Spiritual Root, began to slowly disappear, and even what was eventually passed down was no longer complete.
The only remaining complete set of the Immortal Five Elements Technique exists within the Five Elements relics.
These relics were the Five Elements Ancestor’s final place of secluded cultivation before ascending, and the Five Elements Cave Mansion where Lin Jing and his companions were was built by that unnamed predecessor.
The unknown predecessor built the Five Elements Cave Mansion at the entrance to the relics to protect them from being destroyed.
Additionally, it served as a selection mechanism, allowing cultivators who practiced the Immortal Five Elements Technique to enter the relics and gain the inheritance of the technique.
Both individuals, the Five Elements Ancestor and the unknown predecessor, are worthy of admiration.
Subsequently,
Lin Jing bowed respectfully to the statue.
After paying his respects, Lin Jing left the main hall of the Five Elements and entered the System Space.
In the System Space, Lin Jing immediately entered Observation Mode and looked outside, where everything seemed normal, with the black fog shrouding the entire cave mansion as usual.
After leaving the main hall of the Five Elements, Lin Jing used Observation Mode to scan the others at the Formation Eye; none of them showed any anomalies.
Apparently, the others were unaware of what Lin Jing had done in the main hall.
After all,
this time, everything in the main hall had gone smoothly, unlike the situation with the Wood Hall, which had caused tremors.
Since there were no tremors this time, naturally the others could not notice anything.
After his examination, Lin Jing did not immediately return to the Formation Eye but instead started to look at the other two Jade Slips directly in the System Space.
One of these Jade Slips contained a cultivation technique, the Five Elements Divine Technique.
This Divine Technique, realized by the unnamed predecessor, was left here as a reference for the next person who cultivated the Immortal Five Elements Technique.
Since each person’s insights into the heavens and earth differ, the Divine Techniques they can realize are all distinct.
If one were to forcibly learn another’s Divine Technique, it might not be quite suitable.
Therefore,
this Divine Technique could at best serve as a reference.
If Lin Jing wanted to practice it directly, he could, but a technique not realized by oneself would slightly mismatch with one’s nature and be inconvenient to use.
After advancing to Divinity Transformation, Lin Jing would need to realize a Divine Technique unique to him.
Beyond the Divine Technique, there was another map in the Jade Slip, which depicted the layout of the Five Elements relics.
After reviewing the Jade Slip, Lin Jing hurriedly took out an incomplete map from his Space Ring.
This incomplete map had been obtained from the Black Shark Gang Leader’s Space Ring.
After comparing it, Lin Jing discovered that the area depicted was indeed a corner inside the Five Elements relics.
However, it was unclear when it had been drawn.
Presumably, someone had entered the relics at some point, but whether it was the unnamed predecessor who had left it was unknown.
Now that Lin Jing had acquired the complete map of the relics, the incomplete map obtained from the Black Shark Gang Leader’s Space Ring was less valuable.
Nonetheless,
Lin Jing kept it anyway, as it might prove useful at some point…
…
In addition, within this map,
there was a message left by the unknown predecessor.
The message was about the inheritance of the Immortal Five Elements Technique.
Because the Immortal Five Elements Technique, along with the Five Elements Divine Art, were incomplete in their external transmission,
one must enter the Five Elements relics to accept the inheritance and obtain the complete techniques.
If Lin Jing did not enter the relics to receive the inheritance, then his cultivation of the Immortal Five Elements Technique could at most reach the Nascent Soul Peak, and there he would be at his limit.
Reaching such a stage, even contemplating a change in cultivation technique would not be easy, and if not handled correctly, it could even damage his cultivation.
