Baby with Daoist Monarch System

The cultivation of Flying Skill not only didn’t consume any of Xu Ran’s Spiritual Qi, but instead made the Spiritual Qi and Innate Qi within him even more abundant, making it no problem to directly comprehend Divine Techniques.

After stabilizing his mood again, Xu Ran approached the mural that depicted Divine Techniques.

Looking closely, he saw on the mural a little figure soaring in the air, with nine Immortal Swords suspended behind him, each sword having a different shape and aura. But what was the same was that each sword’s aura was terrifyingly overwhelming, even within the mural, the soul-stirring pressure was making it hard for Xu Ran to breathe.

"Huff huff huff---"

After a while, Xu Ran finally broke free from the pressure within the mural, touched his chest, and exclaimed.

"The aura of this Divine Technique is truly terrifying. Just the mural can emit such a frightening pressure; if it were truly unleashed, wouldn’t it destroy the heavens and the earth?"

This stone wall was very strange; only by calming the Heart Spirit to observe it could one feel the pressure. If someone like the little bird were just to appreciate it purely, they would not be able to feel it at all.

"But...when it comes to the Divine Techniques on the stone wall, how should one comprehend them?" Xu Ran was suddenly perplexed.

This Divine Technique on the mural, though terrifying, only displayed a scene of one Immortal in the air. Besides that, there were no words or Runes, so how should one comprehend it?

"Could it be like the Beast Hide and Treasure Bone, requiring physical contact?"

Xu Ran speculated while placing his small hand on the stone wall, and as a result, nothing happened.

"Wrong, could it require channeling Spiritual Qi?"

Xu Ran experimented once more, covering his hands with a faint layer of Spiritual Qi to touch the stone wall, but again, there was no reaction.

"Still nothing!"

Xu Ran fell into contemplation once more.

Such a terrifying Divine Technique, standing high atop such a towering cliff within the Great Mountain, if it weren’t for the little bird, he would certainly not have discovered it, and predatory birds couldn’t learn human Divine Techniques.

Therefore, the mural being in such a high place had one effect, which was filtering; only those with the ability to reach here, the destined ones, could learn this Divine Technique.

"Could it require a blood test for innate talent?"

Speculating again, he promptly pricked his finger, letting a drop of blood fall on the mural, to no effect.

"Still wrong?" Xu Ran was somewhat frustrated.

He was sure there was no problem with his idea. To learn such a Divine Technique definitely required talent. Blood doesn’t work, Spiritual Qi doesn’t work? Then what does?

Could it require a token?

But there were no indentations or mechanisms on the stone wall?

Xu Ran pondered.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, regretfully saying.

"What am I thinking?" Xu Ran’s eyes lit up, looking at the stone wall in front of him, "When it comes to the highest level talent, undoubtedly, it must be Innate Qi!"

"What kind of talent can compare to Innate Qi?"

Innate Qi, which existed since the beginning of the universe’s creation, humans only had it briefly during infancy, and there was no other way to obtain it.

Who else could be like Xu Ran, not only having memories of a past life but also having an external reminder?

After realizing this, streams of Innate Qi flowed out from his body, and the moment the Innate Qi appeared, the mural on the stone wall began to change, seeing this, Xu Ran exclaimed, "It works!"

He then concentrated entirely on observing the content on the mural.

Soon, the previously single-image mural began to rotate, merge, and decompose. In no time, one enigmatic Rune after another, suffused with traces of golden light, appeared on the mural, a faint golden layer enveloped the whole cliff.

Simultaneously, Xu Ran’s Celestial Acupoint seemed to resonate, emitting golden light. The Runes on the mural reacted similarly, flying directly toward the Celestial Acupoint and integrating into the Sea of Spirit.

In an instant, the golden light on the cliff vanished. When Xu Ran looked at the stone wall again, all he saw was a plain and unremarkable stone block.

Xu Ran was somewhat bewildered by what had just occurred, "Is that it?"

Soon, within the Sea of Spirit, a golden light arose; Xu Ran’s consciousness returned to the Sea of Spirit, where he saw nine massive swords standing, each radiating an array of pressure. The golden giant eagle that had just settled into the Sea of Spirit quickly hid in the ocean, not daring to show its head.

"These are the nine Immortal Swords behind the Immortal on the mural!" Xu Ran was a bit surprised, the nine Immortal Swords had appeared within his Sea of Spirit.

Before Xu Ran could react, the first Immortal Sword shot out a beam of golden light, directly into the little figure formed by Xu Ran’s consciousness.

Instantly, countless memories flashed through Xu Ran’s mind, vast amounts of information flooding into his mind, almost unbearable for a moment.

"Ah!!"

Xu Ran’s voice howled in agony within the Sea of Spirit, very painful.

Meanwhile.

Xu Ran lay on the ground, his whole body trembling, soaked in sweat, within moments, his entire body drenched, even the ground stained with a large patch of wetness.

The little bird beside him had no idea what was happening, only knowing that the mural disappeared, and its master Xu Ran was now lying on the ground. It had no way of helping, just anxiously pacing beside him.

In the Sea of Spirit.

The current Xu Ran was in extreme pain, his head felt like it was about to explode, countless chaotic, foreign memories flooding his mind, unbearable for an ordinary person.
