Chapter 916: Chrysalis Realm Pinnacle
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Each library in the Master Teacher Academy had its own genre . For example, the library in the Beast Tamer School would have books regarding beast taming, and the books in the Physician School's library would be on the Way of Medicine .
Stored in the Cultivation Compendium were the cultivation and battle technique manuals, as well as the history, geography, culture, and other common knowledge regarding Hongyuan Empire and its surrounding nations .
Even though the books on the first floor were open for students to browse through, its collection was still extremely impressive . Millions of cultivation technique manuals spanning from Consonant Spirit realm to Chrysalis realm filled the many tall shelves within the room .
It had been ten thousand years since the Master Teacher Academy was established, and many outstanding master teachers had risen throughout the generations . These men had recorded their insights and experiences regarding cultivation so that later generations would be able to analyze them and perhaps surpass them . Some had even created their own techniques and spread them far and wide in the world .
This had given rise to a huge assortment of books for each cultivation realm .
With just a casual look, Zhang Xuan could already find nearly ten thousand different ways one could cultivate the Consonant Spirit realm from the books . Each of them formed its own complete system and heritage .
For any other student, faced with so many choices, they would have to narrow down their choices to a specific classification so as to not overload themself with information . Otherwise, they could dull their judgement over what was right and wrong, and this could lead to their cultivation going berserk .
However, Zhang Xuan had no such worry . If there was one demand he had of his cultivation technique manuals, it would be quantity . The more of them there were, the better it would be for him .
It took Zhang Xuan around two hours to collect all of the Consonant Spirit realm cultivation technique manuals into the Library of Heaven's Path .
Compile! Zhang Xuan willed .
A new book materialized before his eyes, and he casually flipped it open . It was another Consonant Spirit realm Heaven's Path Divine Art . While the cultivation technique detailed in it did differ slightly from the other one he had compiled earlier, both cultivation techniques eventually converged into the same outcome .
After which, Zhang Xuan proceeded on to the Cosmos Bridge realm cultivation technique manuals, and it also took him two hours to collect all of them .
With those, he formed a new Cosmos Bridge realm Heaven's Path Divine Art . It was much more detailed than the one he had compiled earlier, making it significantly simpler and easier to cultivate . Overall, however, both cultivation techniques were essentially the same .
It seems there isn't much of a difference between Heaven's Path Divine Arts of the same cultivation realm! Zhang Xuan noted as he continued collecting the other books .
Since he wasn't in a rush, it would be good for him to collect all of the books so as to enhance his knowledge .
Ten hours later, Zhang Xuan had finally finished collecting all of the cultivation and battle technique manuals on the first floor .
While these books hadn't raised his cultivation, they allowed him to expand his base of knowledge, granting him some understanding regarding the various schools of cultivation .
With this, he was probably more knowledgeable than all of the master teachers in the academy combined .
Not only so, he had also managed to form a new Heaven's Path Sword Art, Heaven's Path Spear Art, Heaven's Path Saber Art, and such . As long as he practiced them, he would be able to advance his Weapon Intent to even higher levels .
However, Zhang Xuan was in no hurry to cultivate . He chose to head to the second floor instead .
Access to the second floor was limited to only teachers and above, and the battle techniques and cultivation techniques stored on the second floor were significantly more profound than those on the first floor . There were also a few Half-Saint cultivation technique manuals on some of the shelves too .
After collecting the books, Zhang Xuan proceeded up .
The third floor was restricted to only the elders of the Master Teacher Academy . There were Nascent Saint and Saint realm cultivation technique manuals on the shelves, but the overall quantity of books was much less than the first and second floor .
After collecting those books and compiling a Heaven's Path technique out of them, Zhang Xuan had finally successfully compiled the Heaven's Path Divine Art from Chrysalis realm to Nascent Saint .
In other words, he could advance his cultivation from Chrysalis realm primary stage to Saint realm primary stage within six hours as long as he wished to .
Chuckling in satisfaction, Zhang Xuan immersed his consciousness into the Library of Heaven's Path, took the Half-Saint Heaven's Path Divine Art, and flipped it open .
A moment later, a frown was etched on his face .
There was no mistake with the cultivation technique, and if he were to cultivate according to it, he would be able to advance through Half-Saint, Nascent Saint, and reach Saint realm easily .
However, if he were to do so, he would only be able to cultivate a Third Grade Origin Core, and even the weakest Primary Second Grade Origin Core of the Saint Ascension Decipher was immensely stronger than that .
Initially, he had still been a little perplexed about why there was such a huge disparity between the Saint Ascension Decipher and the other Chrysalis realm, Half-Saint, and Nascent Saint Heaven's Path Divine Arts when such a situation hadn't occurred for the previous realms . However, after a moment of pondering, an answer surfaced in his mind .
Within the cultivation technique manuals in the library, there was not a single one regarding the cultivation of a higher-grade Origin Core . No matter how many normal cultivation technique manuals he gathered, the eventual cultivation technique manual he compiled would only be normal .
A fitting analogy would be: no matter how many straw hut construction manuals one studied, one would still be unable to build a royal palace .
Even if the contents of both covered the same grounds—advancing one's cultivation to a higher realm—they were still essentially two completely different paths leading to different destinations .
Even though the cultivation of the Saint Ascension Decipher is much more difficult, there is a chance that I will be able to cultivate a First Grade Origin Core and become a Celestial Saint . If I were to cultivate these normal cultivation techniques instead, I would stand no chance at all, Zhang Xuan thought .
Cultivating the Saint Ascension Decipher would require artifacts and more spirit stones, so it would be a difficult path to venture into . However, if he were to succeed, he would gain immense power incomparable to if he had chosen otherwise .
Since he could only cultivate his Origin Core once, it was natural he would have to aim for the best!
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan didn't rush into cultivating but instead headed up to the next floor .
The fourth floor was an area restricted to only the incumbent principal of the Master Teacher Academy . There were no cultivation or battle technique manuals there, but there were books containing the insights of the preceding principals, as well as information concerning the deepest secrets of the academy .
Collecting these books into the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan headed up to the final floor .
The fifth floor consisted of mainly items left behind by Founder Mu Kai . Zhang Xuan took a quick look around the room, and it seemed like the Saint Ascension Decipher manual wasn't among the items . Nevertheless, there were still many valuable cultivation technique manuals in there . Most of the cultivation technique manuals were regarding Saint realm 1-dan, but there was still a very small handful of them regarding Saint realm 2-dan or even 3-dan .
There were also a couple of them regarding soul and physical body cultivation .
