Chapter 1415: 1415
There was only one road through the Cultivation Technique Forest, and the both sides were completely filled with stone tablets . Taking a closer look, one could feel a few silhouettes moving on the surface of the tablets, seemingly practicing some sort of profound martial arts .
The movements of these silhouettes were extremely slow, and for some reason, it seemed as if they were cloaked with a layer of thin mist . Even if one were to examine the tablet closely, it would still be hard to perceive their movements distinctly .
However, Zhang Xuan didn't need to perceive their movements to learn what they were cultivating . All he really had to do was to direct a glance over at the stone tablets while muttering 'flaws!' in his mind .
Illusory Arcane Dragon Art, True Inferno Yang Formula, Xuanmin Ancestral Impact, Water Undulation Divine Art…
Books swiftly materialized in Zhang Xuan's mind .
There weren't just Grand Dominion realm cultivation technique manuals on the stone tablets; some were Phantasmal Space realm cultivation technique manuals as well . If one were to cultivate according to them, there was no doubt that one's cultivation would surely improve by leaps and bounds, granting one fighting prowess far exceeding that of their peers .
Those who were qualified to enter the Inner Sanctum were all geniuses, and those who were qualified to leave behind these cultivation technique manuals were, even more so, geniuses amongst geniuses, individuals who had stood at the top of their generation… Zhang Xuan thought as he slowly proceeded forward .
Through taking in the cultivation technique manuals into his Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to swiftly convert it into his own knowledge, thus allowing him to analyze the pros and cons of each cultivation technique swiftly .
While these cultivation techniques were far from matching up to top cultivation techniques like the Heavenly Art of Dimension Unravel, to most 8-star master teachers, they could still be considered as invaluable treasures .
If any single one of them were to be taken out to the Master Teacher Continent, it would surely induce a massive fight over it as countless cultivators vied to lay their hands on it!
Of course, this could bring in the question of why the Inner Sanctum didn't open up the books to the public . The Sanctum of Sages did allow those whose main occupations were not master teacher to pick up a cultivation technique from the Cultivation Technique Forest as well so long as their main occupation had reached 8-star and they were qualified to enter the Inner Sanctum . Nevertheless, this didn't change the fact that it still wasn't accessible to most cultivators outside .
The reason for that was that the stronger a cultivation technique was, the more demanding it was on one's talent . If one simply didn't have the aptitude for the cultivation technique but still forcefully attempted to cultivate it, not only would one's cultivation not improve as swiftly as expected, more importantly . It could potentially leave major traumas on one's body, resulting in unpredictable consequences .
It was the same reason as why each occupation would only allow their members to view books corresponding to their current rank and below, and not those that were above their current rank . Without building up the necessary fundamental knowledge first, attempting to learn advanced content would, more likely than not, confuse one and possibly distort one's comprehension of the occupation .
There was an inherent tendency within humans to overestimate their abilities, so in order to prevent such tragedies from occurring, there was a need to regulate the flow of information and knowledge so as to ensure that they would only reach appropriate hands .
While others are spending numerous hours in here just to receive the recognition of one predecessor and obtaining his cultivation technique, I am already collecting nearly every single one of the cultivation techniques… Zhang Xuan thought gleefully .
There was a diverse range of cultivation techniques here, and most of the stone tablets here were infused with the will of the creator of the cultivation technique too . Even if Zhan shi were here, he wouldn't be able to learn all of the cultivation techniques either .
However, Zhang Xuan was different . Wherever his eye could reach, those stone tablets within his range of sight would be automatically compiled into a book within his Library of Heaven's Path, and even their corresponding flaws would become apparent to him . As such, he was able to learn the cultivation techniques even without receiving the recognition from their respective creators .
Slowly walking forward, Zhang Xuan relentlessly took in all of the cultivation techniques inscribed on the stone tablets around him .
Over several dozen millenniums, the Cultivation Technique Forest had accumulated more than a thousand cultivation techniques, so it took quite a while before Zhang Xuan finally reached the end .
Compile! Zhang Xuan willed .
Countless books quickly gathered together within the Library of Heaven's Path, fusing together to form the Grand Dominion realm and Phantasmal Space realm Heaven's Path Divine Art .
Swiftly flipping open the two books before him to take a look, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head in slight disappointment .
Just like what he had guessed, the Grand Dominion realm Heaven's Path Divine Art had been fully perfected, devoid of any flaws, but the Phantasmal Space realm cultivation technique still had quite a few mistakes here and there . Clearly, he hadn't collected sufficient Phantasmal Space realm cultivation technique manuals yet .
"How could Zhang shi . . . not receive the recognition of even a single predecessor at all?" Seeing that Zhang Xuan had walked out of the Cultivation Technique Forest without inducing the slightest bit of response from the stone tablets, Zhan shi frowned in bewilderment .
Be it in terms of talent or fighting prowess, the young man before him had already reached an astounding level . Why would he receive no recognition from the predecessors of the Cultivation Technique Forest at all?
"I haven't been driving my cultivation technique," Zhang Xuan replied with a smile .
His goal was just to collect the cultivation technique manuals in the Cultivation Technique Forest, so he chose not to drive his cultivation technique . As a result of that, he hadn't received the recognition of any of the predecessors either .
Besides, the cultivation technique he practiced was the Heaven's Path Divine Art! Which predecessor's eyesight would be so bad as to dare to recognize him?
"You have to drive your cultivation technique while walking through the Cultivation Technique Forest in order to receive the recognition of the predecessors so that you can obtain their secret manuals! To simply walk through it just like that . . . You won't be able to obtain anything like that!" Zhan shi exclaimed anxiously .
"It's fine, I have already obtained what I wanted . May I ask if there's any silent chamber here where I can cultivate in? I would like to digest what I have just learned . I think I might be able to make a breakthrough in my cultivation . " Knowing that it would be difficult for him to explain the matter to Zhan shi in a way that was acceptable to the latter, Zhang Xuan didn't bother delving too deeply into the matter either .
