Chapter 248: Jun! Achieved the Pinnacle of Mahayana
In the Life and Death Realm, everyone sat cross-legged, fully immersed in comprehending the "Seal of Life and Death," a top-tier Immortal Technique.
Though this Immortal Technique was incomplete, its capacity equaled that of a Great Immortal Technique, provoking envy in others.
It should be noted that Great Immortal Techniques are already rare in the Immortal Realm, let alone those of the top-tier.
Everyone valued it highly, and Yang Ji was exceptionally serious about it as well.
If he could fully comprehend it, it would become his most powerful move.
Time trickled by, moment by moment.
One year, two years, three years, ten years.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred and thirty-five years had silently passed.
On this day, Mo Taixu and Cang Jie opened their eyes one after the other, and Yang Ji also sensed something deep within.
The three exchanged glances, a silent understanding passing between them, and then they rose quietly to their feet.
The five venerable elders of the Xian Ding Sect detected the movement of Yang Ji and the others, looking over with puzzled expressions.
Without holding back, Yang Ji conveyed to them the matters regarding the Immortal King Minor World through a transmitted message.
Fan Haiming and Liu Bingwen replied likewise, revealing shockingly that they were aware of the Immortal King Minor World and had even ventured inside to comprehend Immortal Techniques. Unfortunately, they had not gained anything; their opportunity had not yet arrived.
Now, hearing that Yang Ji and the other two had such a chance, they could not help but feel a surge of envy.
However, upon reflection, they realized that it must have been through this connection that they had come to know one another.
The five ancestors of the Xian Ding Sect gave Yang Ji some instructions before ceasing to inquire further, closing their eyes again to comprehend Immortal Techniques.
Yang Ji and the other two flew out from the Life and Death Realm together.
Looking toward a certain expanse of stars, Mo Taixu said, "It should be in the Di Wei Star Region. Let's head back to the Xu Dao Sect first to collect the others."
"Alright," agreed Cang Jie and Yang Ji with nods.
There and then, Mo Taixu released a beam of Immortal Light, enveloping the two of them, and sped off toward their Sect.
Having reached the Xu Dao Sect, they picked up Shen Wujue, Xuan Jiuling, and Li Xingyun, then headed for the Di Wei Star Region.
Mo Taixu was extremely fast; pushing his flight to the limit, it took him thirty years to finally arrive at the destination.
Here, like before, a multitude of cultivators had gathered, their excitement palpable as they surrounded the Immortal King Stele so tightly that no water could spill through.
Used to such scenes, Mo Taixu and the others didn't say much, flying directly to Stone Mountain where they sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend.
Thanks to the Origin of the Strangling power and the boost from the Golden Finger, Yang Ji was the first to enter a meditative state, with traces of Taoist essence soon emanating from his body.
The profound mysteries of the Ten Directions Strangle flowed to him uninterruptedly, making the comprehension process surprisingly smooth.
This brought a tinge of joy to Yang Ji's heart.
Cultivation knows no years; he sat still as an ancient stone.
Time lost all its meaning as the days and years passed.
A hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years, six hundred years – more than seven hundred years slipped by in the blink of an eye.
One day, a faint Immortal Light surged from within Yang Ji, emitting a sharp Taoist essence, as if countless Flying Swords were encircling and furiously strangling around him.
Within his Primordial Spirit, a speck of light flashed, and a Divine Ability Seed was etched deeply.
It was the "Ten Directions Strangle," now fully mastered.
With the comprehension of another top-tier Immortal Technique of Minor Immortal Art Capacity complete, Yang Ji felt a surge of happiness.
Having spent almost a thousand years, plus the Strangling Origin and the boost from the Golden Finger to reach completion, Immortal Techniques were indeed difficult to master.
The changes in Yang Ji caught the attention of Mo Taixu and the others, who looked over at him, their faces showing smiles mixed with envy, "Junior Brother, congratulations! Following 'Primordial Annihilation,' you've now completed the 'Ten Directions Strangle.' I'm so jealous!"
Having been shocked initially, they had now completely acknowledged Yang Ji's extraordinary aptitude. Mastery of two Immortal Techniques in such a short period was far beyond ordinary.
This shattered their expectations and overturned their understanding.
These were not run-of-the-mill Minor Immortal Techniques; these were top-tier Immortal Techniques. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
Despite being minor in capacity, the breadth and complexity of the mysteries they covered were tenfold, a hundredfold, even a thousandfold greater than any Minor Immortal Technique.
For geniuses like them, unraveling a Minor Immortal Technique was easy, but comprehending a top-tier one, even with the capacity of a Minor Immortal Art, was as hard as scaling the heavens.
Even someone as powerful as Mo Taixu, after spending ten thousand years in this Minor World, going back and forth multiple times, had managed to fully grasp only one top-tier Immortal Technique – Destruction of All Heavens!
Our Second Senior Brother Cang Jie has spent many years mastering the "Endless Slaughter," and it took him nearly ten thousand years just to approach completion.
One can imagine just how difficult it really is to fully master a top-tier Immortal Technique, even one of Minor Immortal Art Capacity.
Yang Ji, however, mastered two top-tier Immortal Techniques in nearly two thousand years, standing now at the pinnacle of Stone Mountain, sitting beneath the Immortal King Stele, just like Mo Taixu.
This was astonishing.
Such comprehension exceeded theirs by tenfold.
Ten times – imagine how terrifying that is!
Keep in mind, they were all exceptional among prodigies, the best among the best. To exceed them by ten times was simply unimaginable.
If they were seeds of an Immortal King, then Yang Ji was a seed of a Dominator.
Having such a Junior Brother, they couldn't help but feel both admiration and pride within.
To share a bond with such an individual was great fortune for them.
In the future, once they entered the Immortal Realm, it seems likely that this Junior Brother of theirs would become their support.
"Junior Brother, there are a total of five top-tier Immortal Techniques within the Immortal King Stele, namely Ultimate Annihilation, Ten Directions Strangle, Primordial Annihilation, Destruction of All Heavens, and Endless Slaughter! Each of these is an Immortal Technique of incredible offensive power, and every single one represents a tremendous opportunity.
You have already mastered two; with your understanding, completing the remaining three should also be well within your reach," said Cang Jie.
