Cultivation: Immunity to Negative Effects

This Inheritance Hall was a remnant of the Pill and Artifact Sect, and it contained a large number of cultivation techniques, magic spells, and various other books.

It even included various inheritances of the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation, which were one of Zhang Chi’s main targets.

As for the Demon Bear King’s cave mansion, he would absolutely not go there.

Because the Demon Bear King would most likely make a move on him there. After killing him, the king could just make up some excuse to get away with it.

The king could even claim that he had suffered a cultivation deviation from practicing human secret techniques.

And while this Demon Bear body wasn’t his main one, he didn’t want to lose it for nothing before it had served its purpose.

Besides, the king had surely set up arrays and other traps in his cave mansion. So even though Zhang Chi controlled the Mountain Protection Array, he would never confront the king head-on on his home turf.

Furthermore, his plan was still in motion. It wasn’t the right time to make a direct move.

Zhang Chi soon arrived outside the Inheritance Hall.

He discovered there wasn’t a single Demon Bear inside or outside the Hall.

That’s right, not even a guard. Only an array enveloped the place.

The Inheritance Hall itself looked like it had been in disrepair for years.

Apparently, the Demon Bears weren’t fond of reading and had little interest in human cultivation techniques and magic.

After all, the vast majority of Demon Bears couldn’t practice human cultivation methods at all.

But this was convenient for Zhang Chi. Using his token to enter, he found that he could indeed browse freely and read the complete texts.

So, he immediately went to the top floor, where he quickly discovered a large pile of top-grade cultivation techniques and magic spells.

These items were made of special materials—jade scrolls, beast bones, and the like. There was no ordinary paper. Even after all this time, the cultivation techniques and magic spells recorded within were mostly intact.

In addition to these top-grade cultivation techniques and magic spells, there were also some inheritances for the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation.

However, Zhang Chi didn’t see any ordinary Tier Four Inheritances among them.

Obviously, the Demon Bear King had already taken such things for himself.

But Zhang Chi already knew this from a Soul Search, and he wasn’t too concerned.

Although there were no ordinary Tier Four Inheritances here, there were twelve different inheritances for the Celestial Mechanism Calculation Skill. Because the barrier to entry for these was so high, the Demon Bear King clearly couldn’t be bothered to collect them.

Leaving them here, perhaps some exceptionally talented Demon Bear might discover them in the future.

’The Tier Four Inheritance for the Turtle Shell Divination Skill, it really is here! The Pill and Artifact Sect was truly a major sect, probably on par with the Hundred Flowers Palace in its heyday.’

Zhang Chi scanned the area quickly and soon found what he was looking for, overjoyed.

He immediately picked up the jade scroll and read its contents. The whole process took no more than a dozen breaths, but in the Volcano Cave Mansion at Canglan Oasis, Zhang Chi’s main body had already imprinted the contents onto a blank black jade scroll in his hand.

Meanwhile, his Demon Bear body put down the jade scroll and continued to examine the other Celestial Mechanism Calculation Skills. His main body, still in Canglan Oasis, continued imprinting.

After finishing with those, Zhang Chi used the same method to record all the top-grade cultivation techniques and magic spells.

Having finished one floor, Zhang Chi went down to the next, imprinting many Tier Three Inheritances and Secret Techniques.

After all this was done, Zhang Chi finally began to read normally. This time, he browsed through Tier Two and even Tier One materials, picking and choosing as he pleased, simply to broaden his knowledge.

As for the more advanced content, he had already imprinted it and could read it anytime, so he was in no hurry.

’So that’s how it is!’

Inside the Volcano Cave Mansion at Canglan Oasis, Zhang Chi was dividing his attention, studying the Tier Four Inheritance for the Turtle Shell Divination Skill.

Of course, this ability to divide his attention two or three ways had significant limitations.

Namely, he couldn’t perform multiple complex tasks simultaneously.

Fortunately, browsing low-level cultivation techniques in the Oasis Ruins was a simple task for Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi then realized that the content he had deduced using the Dream Space, while not in the wrong direction, was completely incomparable to the proper inheritance. It didn’t even scratch the surface.

Thankfully, now that he had the real inheritance, Zhang Chi immediately materialized a Tier Four Turtle Shell in the Dream Space and began practicing the Turtle Shell Divination Skill. In less than a month, his proficiency in this skill truly reached Tier Four Low Grade.

’One more calculation!’

Afterward, Zhang Chi took out a Tier Four Turtle Shell that he had spent years searching for and immediately performed a divination in the real world.

This time, because his skill had truly improved and he now had a thorough understanding of the situation in the Oasis Ruins, he finally got a clear result: highly auspicious.

Thus, Zhang Chi waited no longer. He disguised himself, quietly left Canglan Oasis, and after some time, forced his way through the Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer to fly over Beichen Oasis.

Next, he controlled a Tier Three Peak Puppet to a black market outside an Immortal City and sold a large batch of jade scrolls cheaply.

He then moved on to several other Immortal Cities and did the same thing before recalling the puppet, quietly returning to Canglan Oasis, and resuming his cultivation in seclusion to wait.

Sure enough, in less than half a year, a piece of news began to spread like wildfire: ruins of an oasis had appeared deep in the desert.

Furthermore, it was a top-tier oasis, home to a Tier Four Peak Demon Beast and an inheritance on the level of the Hundred Flowers Palace. It even held a Spiritual Object that could help cultivators break through to the Divinity Transformation realm: the Erosion Yin Spirit Fruit.

News like this would normally be dismissed as a rumor, but this particular piece of news was far too detailed.

Especially regarding the Erosion Yin Spirit Fruit, the Spiritual Object that could help one break through to Divinity Transformation—Low Tier Cultivators had never even heard of it, but true, top-level True Monarchs knew that this Spiritual Object did indeed exist.
