Chapter 94: The Heavenly Spirit's Ultimate Technique, Two Updates

  At this moment, Lu Shao-yu was staring at the jade bed, and he had already felt that this jade bed was extraordinary. There was a swirling energy on it. However, for other spiritual practitioners, this spirit jade bed was a treasure, but for himself, the effect was not great. His normal cultivation speed was originally slow to the point of being frightening. Even if it could increase his cultivation speed, he estimated that it wouldn't be much faster. What he needed most were actually demon pellets and spirit pellets.

  "Master, how did you end up here? What level of power had you reached before?" Lu Shaoyou asked.

  "Heh." The Holy Hand's Spirit smiled slightly, but the corpse-like body couldn't show a smile, instead adding to the horror: "Initially, I was cultivating as a 9th-level Spirit Master, and unintentionally discovered this place. I planned to quietly break through to the Spirit Emperor realm, who knew it would still be one step short? Down below, there's a small river, follow the water downstream, pass through a gorge, and at the end of the gorge, drill out from underwater, then you can leave."

  "Ninefold Spirit Venerable." Lu Shaoyou was startled, that's the Ninefold Spirit Venerable after all. In this world, it seems that there aren't any Spirit Venerables or Martial Venerables like him appearing now. At this level, each and every one of them are undoubtedly super strong experts.

  "I'm surprised, a nine-layered spirit, yet still unable to break through to the Spirit Emperor. Unfortunately, you're not a spirit user. Remember, if you can reach the Martial Honored level in the future, don't be careless. In this world, there are many more powerful people than you can imagine. With this Heavenly Spirit Record, although you're not a spirit user and can't cultivate it fully, as long as you have some talent, you'll also have a place to stand in the future." said Saint Hand Spirit Venerable.

  "Master, what is this Tianling Record?" Lu Shaoyou asked. Master Shengshoulingsun said that it was his lifelong absolute art, and Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but be curious.

  "You'll naturally know when you open the jade slip, I won't let you down. My one soul can no longer hold on, and now you're more or less my disciple. Remember, if there's a chance, take care of the Duanmu family for me." As soon as the words fell, Lu Shao Yu was sizing up the icy jade bed, and the corpse of the Holy Hand Spirit suddenly collapsed to the ground, the dry skin on its face turning into powder that fell to the ground. Even the black robes on its body had turned to ashes.

  The desiccated corpse's skin had disappeared, revealing a pure white skeleton skull that was intact and connected together without any damage, emitting an eerie aura.

  Lu Shao Yu bowed three times towards the skull, this Holy Hand Spirit Master had just become his own master, but he had already acknowledged this master by bowing his head, let alone that he had also gained a lot of benefits.

  He immediately picked up the remains of Shengshou Lingzun and buried them at the foot of the mountain, where he found a place to bury him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such a strong person, also can't avoid having a day of great limitation, under the rules of heaven and earth, no matter how brilliant you are in your lifetime, after death, it's just a pile of yellow soil. According to legend, only the peak of martial arts, Ling Dao extreme, can break through the void and enter the realm of eternal life.

  "Since I've chosen this path of cultivation in this life, then I must cultivate to the extreme and set foot in the legendary realm of eternal life." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself as he gazed at the grave of Shengshou Lingzun.

  Lu Shao Yu originally just wanted to become strong, protect his mother and everything he had. Now, seeing that even a powerful master like his couldn't escape fate, Lu Shao Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of lament in his heart. From now on, another path would be laid out before him.

  After a while, Lu Shaoyou returned to the cave, and that river was the exit. On the contrary, he didn't want to leave here in a hurry. His injuries hadn't healed yet, and at least he had to wait until his injuries were better before leaving, so as not to encounter any more danger.

  Opening the storage ring that had just been given to him by Master Sheng, Lu Shaoyou began to examine everything inside. Indeed, apart from a white jade token and a jade slip that should be a spiritual technique, there was nothing else. Not to mention demon pills or spirit pills, not even a single third-grade medicinal pill.

  Lu Shao couldn't help but think in his heart that among these strong people, there were also those who were poor.

  "Let's just recover from the injury first." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, everything else can wait until he recovers. Recovering from his injuries would also take some time, so Lu Shaoyou let Xiaolong go find food in the forest on its own. In this remote mountain valley, Xiaolong wouldn't be in any danger either.

  "Lingyu Bed." Lu Shaoyou gazed at the Lingyu Bed left behind by his master in the stone room, and he was also very interested. He sat cross-legged on the bed and suddenly felt a strange energy enveloping his body. A warm breath was rising from under him, and the true energy in his body began to flow slowly, feeling incredibly comfortable.

  "It's indeed a treasure." Lu Shaoyou was overjoyed. The spiritual jade bed, which was a treasure in the eyes of the spiritual being, was indeed not bad. Sitting on it didn't allow him to cultivate, but he had a cultivating state nonetheless. Especially in his mind, there was a force pulling at the spiritual energy in his brain, making his body feel incredibly comfortable.

  "First, recover from your injuries." Lu Shaoyou took out the three-grade healing medicine, Rebirth Pill, from his storage ring, which he had obtained from Huo Yinyin. After taking the pill, a massive energy burst forth and spread throughout his body.

  Lu Shao quickly activated the Yin-Yang Spiritual Martial Formula, and these three types of elixirs were several times stronger than the second-grade healing elixir, Returning to Reality Dan.

  After a moment, Lu Shaoyou's body was surrounded by a faint yellow light, and he also entered a strange state, quietly recovering from his injuries. With the help of Sanpin Dan Yao Fugui Wan, Lu Shaoyou could clearly feel that his internal injuries were recovering at an extremely fast speed.

  At the same time, on this spiritual jade bed, there was also a strange energy flowing into his body, combined with the energy of the Rejuvenating Pellet, the speed of recovery from his injuries was more than ten times faster than when he was healing in that mountain cave. The most peculiar thing was that this energy from the spiritual jade bed made the spiritual energy in his mind extremely active, and combined with his cultivation, the spiritual energy increased greatly, also about twice as fast as his normal cultivation speed. This speed, Lu Shao felt, should be the normal speed of a cultivator's cultivation.

  Feeling the effect of the Lingyu bed, Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but secretly sigh. If a normal cultivator were to cultivate on this Cold Jade Bed, their speed would be twice as fast. That would be terrifying. No wonder his master, Shengshou Lingzun, said that he had risked his life to obtain it back then.

  Time passed slowly, and Lu Shaoyou was quietly recovering, with his injuries continuing to heal.

  At this time, outside the castle, many disciples of Fog City were mobilized to search around the cliff where the original city master Wang Mingyue had a great battle with Huoyin Guai. They rode on several rock eagles and searched the surrounding mountains, but no matter how hard they tried, no one could enter the bottom of the cliff. In the end, they could only give up.

  On a mountain range, two vultures soared above. White-browed Elder, Lu Wushuang, Du Guling, Cui Yu, and one road was filled with gloomy expressions, only Wang Guang and Lu Shaohu's moods had improved significantly.

  Two days later, inside the mountain cave within the mountain peak, Lu Shao's body was surrounded by a faint yellow glow. Unbeknownst to him, an invisible and transparent light circle had begun to envelop him at some point, filling the stone chamber with an otherworldly aura.

  At this time, Lu Shaoyou's face was no longer pale, and the faint red glow seemed to indicate that his internal injuries had fully recovered. His breathing had also returned to its normal state, and if one were to carefully sense it, they could even detect a slight increase in his vital energy.

  And outside this layer of mysterious light circle, there were some unstable signs at this time, with some ups and downs. In Lu Shaoyou's mind, the spiritual energy in his brain was fluctuating rapidly at this time.

  It wasn't long before a strange energy fluctuation suddenly emerged in the stone room, surging and rising. Following the transmission of this fluctuation, a powerful aura burst forth from Lu Shaoyou's body, which had been closed off with his eyes shut. This aura continued to rise, reaching new heights in an extremely short period of time.

  Lu Shao's body was surrounded by an invisible transparent light circle, and at this time, his breath was also rising continuously. The most mysterious thing was that the Lingyu bed seemed to have been affected by some kind of induction, emitting a faint glow, which combined with the invisible light circle outside Lu Shao's body, making it extremely mysterious.

  In Lu Shao's mind, the spiritual energy reached a new height, and under the impact of the spiritual energy, a layer of invisible barrier was almost destroyed. The sudden surge of breath lasted for a while before gradually calming down, and then a stream of invisible energy spread out in his mind.

  This intangible energy was like a tangible sound wave, finally crashing against the hard stone wall, causing the surrounding stone walls to vibrate slightly, as if swept by a powerful force.

  When a burst of energy disappeared, Lu Shaoyou's light ring around his body gradually dissipated and retracted, and his breath also began to stabilize.

  "Ah..." A long, murky breath was exhaled from his body. Lu Shao's tightly closed eyes slightly opened, and a hint of sharpness seemed to flash in his eyes before quickly disappearing, leaving his gaze even brighter and more profound.

  At this time, Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile, feeling the change in his spiritual power surge several times stronger, and he had already broken through to the second-order Spiritual Master level. This spiritual power that had never been able to break through before, unexpectedly broke through with the help of the Lingyu Bed.

  At this moment, Lu Shao felt that the Lingyu Bed was not an ordinary treasure, and it also had a significant impact on his true energy, although it did not have as great of an effect on his spiritual energy.

  Originally, it would take him three days to recover about 40% of his injuries, but this time with the help of Fuqi Pill and Lingyu Bed, his injuries were fully recovered. The true energy inside his body also reached the edge of breaking through to the sixth level of martial arts, and maybe one day he will break through. And the spiritual energy that had never broken through finally broke through.

  Without the help of Fu Qi Wan and Ling Yu Chuan, Lu Shao Yu estimated that if he were to recover from his injuries on his own, it would take at least a month.

  He took a deep breath, and Lu Shao Yu pulled out the Tianling Record left to him by his Master, which was the lifelong ultimate skill of a super strong being at the 9th level of the Spirit Realm. Lu Shao Yu couldn't help but feel some anticipation in his heart - what kind of ultimate skill was this Tianling Record?

  It was just that Shifu didn't explain whether this was a martial skill or another kind of technique, but it was left behind by the strong ones among the nine layers of Lingzun, so naturally it wouldn't be bad.

  "What is this ultimate skill." Lu Shaoyou touched the handprint on his palm, bit his index finger, and a drop of fresh blood dripped onto the jade slip.

  "Hahaha!"

  On the jade slip, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth, and the entire stone room was also enveloped in a dazzling radiance. In an instant, this light surged into Lu Shao's brow, transforming into a vast amount of information that entered his mind.

  It wasn't until half a time later that the light gradually disappeared, and at this moment, Lu Shaoyou carefully checked the massive information in his mind, but he was shocked and amazed.

  This Heavenly Spirit Record is neither a martial art nor a spiritual technique. What Lu Shaoyou didn't expect was that this Heavenly Spirit Record was actually a skill outside of martial and spiritual techniques, in a world where warriors and spiritual practitioners were the mainstream, this Heavenly Spirit Record could be said to be an unconventional, unimaginable unconventional one.

  In the Tianling Scripture, there are many array methods, puppetry and weapon refinement techniques recorded. As for alchemy, there is not much information about it. Apart from this, the Tianling Scripture also contains many unusual techniques, such as the Soul Searching Technique, which can explore the memories in one's mind.

  There is also a beast-controlling technique, which can directly control a large number of demonic beasts and spiritual beasts with sufficient strength. At the same time, it can cultivate demonic beasts and spiritual beasts from an early age, unlike ordinary spiritual practitioners who need to spend a lot of energy to control demonic beasts and spiritual beasts but cannot cultivate them or control them in large numbers. Every time they control a demonic beast or spiritual beast, they have to consume a considerable amount of spiritual power, which is absolutely unsustainable for ordinary spiritual practitioners.

  So, powerful spirits generally subdue and control a relatively good spirit beast or demon beast. There are not many spirits that can control spirit beasts, as controlling them means consuming more spiritual energy, and it is extremely difficult to control them.

  Consuming too much spiritual energy is a great taboo for cultivators, directly affecting their future cultivation. If the consumption is excessive and affects the foundation, it's simply self-destructive. Therefore, no cultivator dares to casually control large numbers of spirit beasts and demon beasts.

  But this beast control technique is different, controlling a large number of demonic beasts and spiritual beasts is not a problem, and it can even cultivate demonic beasts and spiritual beasts from an early age. This kind of demonic beast and spiritual beast that has been cultivated by oneself since childhood has a more tacit understanding with the master, and is equivalent to the master's left and right arms. In battle, this can play a huge role.

  In addition to all this, the Tianling Scripture also records some of Master Shengshou Lingzun's insights and provides detailed introductions to various cultivation materials, making it a comprehensive guide.

  Looking carefully at everything in the Heavenly Spirit Record, most of these methods can only be cultivated and mastered by spiritual practitioners. Just like the Soul Searching Technique, to investigate someone's soul, one's own soul must first be stronger than theirs, and also able to completely suppress their soul. Under this condition, spiritual practitioners have a great advantage over martial practitioners.

  There are also some puppet refining, high-level puppets need to be refined with strong soul power, and warriors can only refine some low-to-medium puppets.

  Some formations also require strong spiritual cultivation to assist in driving, which is very difficult for warriors to achieve.

  Looking at everything in the Tianling Record, Lu Shaoyou finally understood what his master Shengshou Lingzun said. Even if he was a martial artist who could cultivate among them, he could still stand out in this world. These methods were undoubtedly more enticing and stronger than martial skills and spiritual techniques.

  Think about it, a person who is not particularly powerful, but controls many demonic beasts, spiritual beasts, puppets and formations. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke him.

  "It's a good thing I'm a dual cultivator of spiritual and martial arts." Lu Shao was overjoyed, as he was a spiritual being, he would be able to learn everything in the Heavenly Spirit Record. With these, his future methods would definitely be enough to occupy a place in this world.

  "Great calamity will not die, must have good fortune afterwards." Lu Shao thought to himself, this time great calamity did not die, picked up a cheap master gave to oneself this big gift, this gift, will not be under the value of a treasure trove.

  Lu Shao's smile revealed, Nan Shu gave his own jade slip, most of which recorded the data of alchemy and pill-making, while the records of refining weapons were relatively few, unable to be compared with those in the Tianling Record. However, the Tianling Record had more data on alchemy and pill-making than the jade slip given by Nan Shu, and when combined, it would undoubtedly form a complete data collection in his mind.

  "This can be done slowly, and the spiritual skill can be cultivated slowly, let's see what that spiritual skill is."

  Lu Shao Yu immediately took out the spiritual technique from his storage ring. If martial techniques were priceless, then spiritual techniques were even more so. It could be said that if martial techniques were gold, then spiritual techniques were diamonds.

  Ling technique, as the name suggests, is a method used by Ling practitioners. It cannot be cultivated by Wu practitioners. Since there are already few Ling practitioners to begin with, ling techniques are even scarcer. Among those of the same level, the value of ling techniques far exceeds that of wu techniques.

  "Mystic Rank Primary Spirit Technique." Lu Shaoyou gazed at the jade slip in his hand, Master Shengshou Lingzun had said that this was a Mystic Rank Primary Spirit Technique. The middle tier of Mystic Rank, if it were to be revealed outside, would definitely cause a huge stir. Even among the great sects and schools, Mystic Rank martial techniques were not much different from Treasured Mountain's Precious Techniques in terms of value. And this was a Mystic Rank Spirit Technique.

  Staring at the Xuan-level primary spiritual technique in his hand, Lu Shaoyou was also hesitant about whether to cultivate it or not. Nan Shu had said before that with his current strength, he shouldn't rush into cultivating high-level martial techniques and spiritual techniques too early. His current level of strength couldn't fully control them, and it would take a lot of effort and time to cultivate, which wouldn't be beneficial for his cultivation.

  But at this time, Lu Shaoyou deeply knew that his means were too few and his strength was not enough. He must quickly improve his strength. Everything else, he could not take care of for the time being, and could only improve his strength first.
