Chapter 791: Molten Fire Dao (I)
Li Ximing secluded himself atop the peak for several months, comprehending the contents of the Radiant Essence Scripture. It contained a total of nine secret techniques that would be planted into his Immortal Foundation to nurture divine abilities.
At present, I have only managed to cultivate one... thought Li Ximing.
Once he cultivated the first secret technique, Bright Yang, a golden mark appeared on his Radiant Origin Pass, enhancing his mana circulation by half and slightly boosting his overall strength.
Though the nine secret techniques differed slightly, there was no fixed order; any of them could be cultivated first. Since Bright Yang could solidify his mana and was broadly useful, Li Ximing chose to cultivate it first.
While successfully cultivating a secret technique was a good thing, Li Ximing did not pause and immediately started on the second, but his expression soon turned grim.
When he tried to condense the second secret technique into his Immortal Foundation, it clashed with the first, Bright Yang, making the difficulty soar by a full fifty percent!
I thought it would take just over a century to complete all nine... but even centuries may not be enough.
His heart sank. He finally understood why so few reached the Purple Mansion Realm in the mighty Azure Pond Sect, and why cultivators like Li Encheng delayed their breakthroughs until the brink of death...
What's worse, as more secret techniques are cultivated, the repulsive forces will compound, making it nearly impossible to complete even one more! Then I’ll have to bet on a mere five or ten percent chance to break through...
