Chapter 120: 120
“Why did he go?” John asked confusedly. He stood there in silence for quite some time, and then the holy aura suddenly disappeared. John hopes to ask many questions about the palace realm, though he is sure he cannot find the truth because of Karma.
Silence filled the temple for some time before Celestial Soulrend responded. “The problem ... is unique, and he cannot be out in the open for a long time. This formation can hide us from peeping eyes, but for a person like him, he can only hide for so long, even inside. here.”
‘Hidden? Someone strong needs to hide? ‘ John raised an eyebrow in surprise. He wanted to ask where he was hiding from, but knew he would not get an answer. Not only that, but after seeing the effects of Karma with his own eyes, John no longer wanted to know about things he should not have known.
“Lalu ... do you also hide here? And how long has it been?” Ask John.
“Not hiding..I guess telling you this much won't have much of an impact on you. Because of the things that you cannot know yet, I was severely injured, and was forced to throw my body aside and guard my soul. This formation was made by me as a contingency for such a case. ”
John expected such an answer, because of the discussion he had heard earlier. However, the one thing he heard during the discussion was still weighing down on his mind.
“Then, if I can figure out the truth, what exactly is this nature?” John has always wanted to know the truth about the pocket world, and this seems like the only chance he has to find the truth.
“This nature was created by me as a collective experiment and a legacy realm for the forces around it. However, it seemed that through the rest of the time, almost all of the entrances had been destroyed. Your entrance is the only one that is fully functional, while the one that can only act as an exit. ”
‘Trial field? I guess I expect that much. ‘ While John was thinking, Celestial Soulrend spoke once more.
“Then, do you know about Elysian Lightning World?” Ask John. He had heard the temple artifact spirit mention something about the Elysian Lightning World, and was somehow related to its egg.
“Elysian Lightning World? Oh yeah, I actually saw that you managed to get that inheritance. It seems like you really have some talent. In time, once your strength grows enough, you will naturally learn all about that world.”
‘Other faint answer. Alright, I guess I should get used to this in the future until I increase my strength. Besides, it's not my direct business. ‘
“Then, I have another question that makes me curious. If you are looking for a successor, why do you hide your legacy here?” Obviously Soulrend was looking for a successor, but he put it in such a hidden place. John just happened to stumble over it because it was forced down from a cliff.
“I scry to heaven many years ago and decided that I would succeed in finding a successor. I'm not worried about if, but only when. Thus, my heritage location is not a problem.”
‘That makes sense I guess. I wonder how strong one must be able to scry the sky itself? ‘
John was about to ask another question when Celestial Soulrend cut him off.
“My time is getting shorter. Divin .. I mean, another entity allowed me to give you one thing you wanted, had it been in my power to do it.”
“One thing I want?” John was unprepared with the opportunity to ask for one thing from Celestial Soulrend. He knew this was an incredible opportunity, and did not want to be wasted.
John's eyes sparkled as he thought of a request, which was a high-level essence cultivation technique. Essence cultivation techniques control how fast and how sturdy one can improve the cultivation realm of their essence dantians, and are a very important part of cultivation. His current cultivation technique was the one given to him by his clan, and it was pretty good for now, but John had suspicions that it would be a barrier to his cultivation journey soon.
“I want essence cultivation technique, if possible,” replied John firmly.
“Aesthetic cultivation technique? Hmm, let's see …. What kind of essence cultivation technique do you like?” Celestial Soulrend asked, puzzling John.
“Type? Isn't everything the same, just deeper?”
“No. Although there were straight-forward cultivation techniques, there were also cultivation techniques that also aimed to change the Dantian itself to match their greatest strength. For example, a fire cultivator might choose to use fire essence cultivation techniques, while a sword cultivator would choose a cultivation technique that supported sword Qi. This increases their proximity to the chosen field, and strengthens their attacks in that field. ”
“There is such a thing?” John asked in surprise. He had never heard of such cultivation techniques, and had only heard of techniques that raised the realm of cultivation of the Dantian and nothing else.
“Wait, if one were to cultivate such a technique, does that mean they cannot use a different type of Qi attack from their Dantian cultivation type?” Ask John.
“But of course. This cultivation art, at least a high level one, does not hinder the use of other types of Qi, but only increases the targeted type of Qi,” Celestial Soulrend replied, alleviating John's concern over such cultivation techniques. It seemed that this cultivation acted in a trait similar to the attribute body.
“Lalu ... do you have any lightning based cultivation technique?” Ask John.
“Based lightning? I guess I have detected that you have a lightning attribute body, and that was amazing at that. A dantian that focused on lightning to follow it would be a frightening combination. Let's see …. I happen to know two techniques, one that focuses on cultivating a Dantian that focuses on healing lightning, and the other on pure destructive lightning. You can choose one of them. ”
“Destructive driver,” replied John without hesitation. His entire fighting force was based on strength, and having a stronger lightning bolt would be the perfect match.
John suddenly clenched his head in pain as information began to flood within. The pain lasted for a few minutes. The image of lightning shattered the world and stars flickered in his mind before finally disappearing, along with pain.
“I have directly imparted the Lightning Primordial Annihilation technique to you. This is one of the best lightning cultivation techniques you could ever hope for.”
