Chapter 0006: Heavenly Level Techniques
When Yun Qingyan was caught in the spatial storm, his identity badge had already been lost.
Even someone as skilled as him in the realm of the moon would not dare to venture deep into Langya Mountain, let alone escape after falling into a bandit's lair
Therefore, there are strict requirements for the disciples entering the Martial Arts Pavilion
The Grand Elder's expression changed several times, but in the end, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Unfortunately, Yun Qingyan will still be outsmarted; my son Yang Qing stepped into the seventh stage of the Star Realm half a month ago."
As for the high-level techniques suitable for human practitioners, apart from the three major powers, no other forces would be able to produce them, let alone sell them.
The elder has already brought the Spirit Monkey's Transformational Technique and handed it over to Yun Qingyan
Accompanying this is an invisible sense of spiritual oppression
Yun Qingyan's current cultivation has fallen to the Star Realm stage, and naturally, he has also lost the ability to stand in mid-air
However, after they grew a bit larger, they came to the training grounds less frequently and shifted to specialized instruction for martial artists.
"Thank you for your advice, senior, but my mind is made up!" Yun Qingyan knew that saying this would offend the other party, yet he still spoke with unwavering determination. Not to mention that he had already copied over thirty other martial arts techniques into his mind using his divine sense; even without that, he would still resolutely choose the Spirit Monkey Transformation Technique.
"The Spirit Monkey Transformation Technique, a top-tier human-level lightness skill, when cultivated to a certain stage, allows one to be as light as a swallow, leaving no trace on the snow, significantly enhancing the practitioner's abilities in running, jumping, and agile maneuvers. When cultivated to its peak, one can even stand for an extended period on a willow branch without breaking it." Yun Qingyan murmured softly, reciting the introduction to the technique from outside the iron box.
The third level contains only a mere thirty or so books, each locked inside a sealed iron box that requires a special key to open
Are you here at the Martial Arts Pavilion to select a martial art technique
......
"Seven Star Finger, Meteor Sword Technique, Ninefold Palm, Mountain-Crushing Fist..." Yun Qingyan's gaze swept over the various iron boxes, each of which had a piece of paper affixed to its exterior, indicating the name of the martial arts contained within and their characteristics
"Farewell!" Yun Qingyan said, and then walked out of the loft.
The reason is simple; the Monkey's Transformative Technique is a heavenly-level skill
If there are no surprises, he is indeed the Grand Elder mentioned by Uncle!
"What? Yun Qingyan? Weren't you missing three years ago?" The old man suddenly rose from his chair, his gaze becoming sharp as he scanned Yun Qingyan from head to toe.
The identity badge serves as proof of identity for the members of the Yun family, containing their personal information.
......
If that is the case, it is understandable that the identity badge was left behind
However, even the most powerful beings in the realm of light cannot stand suspended in mid-air; only innate beings are capable of such a feat
The second level is accessible only to direct descendants and collateral descendants who have reached the fifth stage of the Star Realm
The elder lives a reclusive life, which is why he has not yet received news of Yun Qingyan's return
To stand suspended in mid-air is the ability that all martial artists yearn for
After leaving the training ground, Yun Qingyan proceeded deeper into the residence and stopped at the entrance of the Martial Arts Pavilion after more than ten minutes
The techniques placed on the first level number at least several thousand, but by the second level, the quantity has decreased to over three hundred.
Yun Qingyan let out a wry smile, feeling quite helpless, and then recounted once again the story of his training at Langya Mountain and how he was captured and taken to a bandit's den
"You may leave, but you must return the martial arts manual within three days!" The old man issued the eviction order directly, his eyes lacking the previous warmth, replaced instead by a sense of disappointment and frustration.
However, in my mind, I subconsciously replayed Yun Qingyan's words several times
Yun Qingyan certainly did not know that the Grand Elder would draw so many conclusions from Yun Yue's corpse
The Pavilion of Martial Arts consists of three levels, and the interior decoration is quite antiquated, filled with the aura of time.
Chen Li inadvertently helped me a great deal; otherwise, in the duel four days later, Yang Qing might have truly fallen victim to Yun Qingyan's schemes
Identity badge! The old man's eyes remained closed, yet his voice resonated.
After seeing off my cousin Yunxuan, he also left the courtyard. Since returning for so many days, he has yet to visit the Yun family.
Such a rich fluctuation of spiritual energy
Yun Qingyan, if one only looks at the introduction, the Spirit Monkey Transformation Technique is indeed quite marvelous, especially the ability to "stand on a willow branch for an extended period without breaking it," a skill that even I covet. However, the difficulty of mastering the Spirit Monkey Transformation Technique is several times, even dozens of times, greater than that of lightness skills of the same level. At least in the Yun family, no one has ever succeeded in mastering it. Although the old man's brows were tightly furrowed, he still patiently advised.
However, three days ago, Yun Qingyan stated in the conference hall that he only possessed the strength of the third stage of the Star Realm
The residence of the Yun family is vast, featuring not only rockeries and artificial lakes, but also gardens and a martial arts training ground... Additionally, there are countless annexes and attics
After returning to Tianyu City for so many days, Yun Qingyan felt such a strong fluctuation of spiritual power for the first time
When faced with constraints, it is indeed good to follow one's heart, but solely pursuing physical and mental comfort may lead to a disadvantage! The path of cultivation emphasizes a balance between work and rest, yet few realize that overexertion can cause harm, while excessive leisure can be detrimental. Far away, the voice of Yun Qingyan could be heard.
Only one book, Yun Qingyan discovered that his divine sense could not perceive its contents
"Have you chosen your cultivation method in just three minutes?" The old man furrowed his brows slightly, and upon hearing that Yun Qingyan wanted the 'Spirit Monkey Transformation Technique', his brows knitted together even more.
However, even if he were to find out, he would probably just scoff at it. Who is Yun Qingyan? He is one of the ten great emperors of the immortal realm. Would he resort to scheming against a mere mortal?
Certainly, this is powerful, but when it comes to Tianyu City, such fluctuations in spiritual energy are quite insignificant in the context of the Immortal Realm
Yun Qingyan's gaze fell upon the elderly man lying on the elongated chair, eyes closed in a feigned slumber
Yun Qingyan stepped forward and walked into the Hall of Martial Arts.
The Gongfa Pavilion is the martial arts stronghold of the Yun family, housing all the martial arts techniques that have been passed down since the establishment of the family
This is the pressure of the Moon Realm Warrior
All martial artists know that the higher the level of the martial arts technique, the greater the difficulty of cultivation
Yun Qingyan first arrived at the training ground, where on the vast square, there were hundreds of young figures practicing martial arts, ranging in age from five to their teenage years
Yun Qingyan, adhering to the mindset of preferring to kill wrongly than to let go, released his divine sense and entered these iron boxes, thoroughly reviewing the contents of the cultivation methods.
You are the most direct descendant and may directly enter the third floor to select a martial art. However, there are two rules that must be followed: first, you may select no more than one martial art; second, the duration of your stay must not exceed half an hour
As for the third level, only the most direct descendants can enter unconditionally. Currently, in the Yun family, the only direct descendants are Yun Qingyan and Yun Xuan.
Is that so! Yun Qingyan nodded lightly, his eyes showing no hint of surprise, because... The Transformation Technique of the Spirit Monkey is not merely a top-grade human-level skill, but rather a top-grade heavenly skill.
... ...
Indeed, it is something that does not know its own limitations, daring to presume to instruct this old man in his cultivation!" The old man looked at Yun Qingyan's back and let out a disdainful cold snort
Others who wish to enter the third level must not only demonstrate sufficient talent but also obtain the consent of the clan leader
The Transformation Technique of the Agile Monkey! Yun Qingyan's gaze and consciousness both fell upon the iron box at the very end
The Grand Elder said with a gloomy expression
"Yun Qingyan, oh Yun Qingyan, I did not expect that after three years of not seeing you, not only have you become eloquent, but your depth of character has also become so profound!"
"Can an identity badge be lost?" The elderly man, who had a carefree expression, suddenly showed a look of disgust on his face. In the next moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Yun Qingyan.
"Indeed, it is a Moon Realm Warrior"
"Yun Qingyan, a direct descendant!" Yun Qingyan replied
Take Yun Yangqing as an example; he is now considered the foremost genius of the Yun family. However, even if he wishes to enter the third level, he must obtain the approval of the clan leader
In their childhood, Yun Qingyan and Cai Er were also frequent visitors to the training grounds
It is simply a tremendous farce!
After repeating it several times, a sudden brilliance flashed in the old man's eyes, and he felt as if he had received a profound enlightenment, as if all his questions had instantly become clear.
What is your name, are you a collateral descendant or a direct descendant
"You actually managed to escape from the bandit den on Mount Langya..." A look of astonishment flashed in the old man's eyes again
Unconsciously, the old man cast a deep glance at Yun Qingyan
"The identity badge has been lost!" Yun Qingyan said. The Technique Pavilion is one of the most important places of the Yun family, thus entry and exit require an identity badge.
The old man appears to be over eighty years old, with a head of white hair and cheeks lined with wrinkles washed away by the passage of time. If judged solely by his appearance, he is an ordinary old man, nothing more ordinary than that.
The disdain in the old man's eyes was instantly replaced by shock; although he did not unleash his full pressure, it was not something a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man could withstand
In Tianyu City, the most commonly available cultivation techniques are of the low-grade human level. Starting from the mid-grade human level, they are extremely rare even in the black market. Occasionally, one or two books may appear, but they are quickly purchased at a very high price by the three major powers
What disappointed the elder was that Yun Qingyan was completely unaffected by the pressure, his expression remaining as calm as water
"I did not expect that the family's martial arts pavilion still possesses such techniques. No wonder even the divine consciousness cannot perceive its contents!" A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Yun Qingyan's eyes, "To be able to stand on a willow branch for an extended period without breaking it... this transcends the realm of lightness skill and enters the domain of standing in midair!"
The old man advised, "I suggest you change to another cultivation method, practicing the Spirit Monkey Transformation Technique will only waste your time for no reason. You have already been delayed for three years at Langya Mountain, and you cannot afford to waste any more time!" The elder warned again
Although the quantity is small, each of these more than thirty volumes of techniques is invaluable, all being of high quality at the human level
"Not bad!" Yun Qingyan nodded.
On the Tianxing Continent, the quantity and quality of martial arts are directly related to a family's strength, heritage, and subsequent inheritance
"He is not the same person who used to guard the Pavilion of Techniques." Yun Qingyan had visited the Pavilion of Techniques many times before, but this old man in the Moon Realm was someone he was seeing for the first time.
Excessive labor leads to injury, while excessive leisure leads to danger
"You... are simply unreasonable!" Seeing that Yun Qingyan still refused to heed the warning, the old man could not help but angrily wave his sleeve forcefully
Yun Yue possesses a cultivation level of the fourth tier of the Star Realm, and it would require at least a fifth tier strength of the Star Realm to shatter his arm bones with a single strike and render him incapable of fighting.
Excessive labor leads to injury, while excessive leisure leads to danger
For instance, ordinary collateral descendants can only select martial arts from the first tier. The martial arts available at the first tier are often the most superficial, with the vast majority not reaching the level of entry.
Half a minute later
Heaven-level martial arts, being the pinnacle of techniques in the Tianxing Continent, are undoubtedly extremely difficult to cultivate. If the cultivation difficulty of human-level martial arts is rated as '1', then the cultivation difficulty of heaven-level martial arts would be at least '10,000'
