Chapter 229 - 163: The Female Daoist Comes to Join, Eighth-Transition Golden Core
In the Eighth Grotto Heaven, due to the broken array, the Taoist sanctuary had completely turned into ruins and rubble.
Cultivators were eager to learn how to slow the ravages of time, and there were various divine skills and spells for everything from people to objects. It was said that among the Thirty-Six Immortal Skills was the Evergreen Skill, which could greatly extend one’s lifespan.
The possessor of this Immortal Skill, who Gu Wen knew, was the Divine Tree that had been sending him "friendship fees." Its full name was the Ancestor Spirit Tree.
Gu Wen was quite curious about the array preservation technique and inquired about it but did not receive the corresponding Cultivation Technique. Yu Hua, on the other hand, gave Gu Wen a "Jade Pure Array for Beginners" type of introductory Cultivation Technique.
It took five years of Heavenly Marrow to get started with the array. Afterward, Gu Wen revisited the Grotto Heaven and could sense some subtle differences, but due to his low level of mastery in array, he couldn’t see clearly.
It was like only being able to distinguish the live wires from the neutral wires, without recognizing the various switches.
After ten years of Heavenly Marrow refining the "Jade Pure Array for Beginners," Gu Wen could make out some clues, but he still couldn’t understand the Heavenly Altar, where all the array patterns converged.
Spending ten years of Heavenly Marrow to eliminate the blind spots in his knowledge was not a loss.
[Heavenly Marrow for one hundred and seventy years]
Boom!
