Chapter 3438

With this catalog, it was much easier for Ye Liuyun to find cultivation techniques. It listed the grade, category, and a brief introduction for each one.

Before long, he had gathered more than sixty cultivation manuals, all related to Spatial Force, fist techniques, palm techniques, and saber techniques.

“There are so many. You want to borrow all of them?”

Seeing how many he had taken, Chen Yueying could not help feeling a little troubled. Even if the prince’s residence allowed Ye Liuyun to borrow books from its collection freely, it would not let him take out so many cultivation manuals all at once.

“No need. I can remember everything after reading through them once!” Ye Liuyun did not even look up as he answered, then began flipping through the books. He went through them extremely quickly, the pages rustling as he turned them one after another.

Chen Yueying, meanwhile, stood there with her mouth hanging open, staring blankly as he flipped through the books.

She did believe that Ye Liuyun would not lie to her. She was simply astonished by his ability to remember anything after seeing it just once.

It did not take Ye Liuyun long to flip through all sixty-plus cultivation manuals. Afterward, he also found some manuals from other categories that might contain things he needed to learn about and went through those as well. Then he prepared to return all the books.

“You remembered them all?” Chen Yueying finally spoke up. She had not dared disturb him just now.

“Of course!” Ye Liuyun replied casually.

“Then let me test you.” As she spoke, Chen Yueying randomly picked out a cultivation manual to quiz him with. He recited it back word for word without missing a single character.

“You really do have a photographic memory?” Chen Yueying took two more cultivation manuals and tested him again, with the same result each time.

This time, she was thoroughly convinced.

“Hehe, I only memorized them for now. I’ll study them slowly after I go back and incorporate them into my own cultivation technique!”

Seeing her expression, Ye Liuyun knew that she was amazed by this special ability of his, so he modestly downplayed it.

“Of course! If you could already fully comprehend and integrate them right now, you wouldn’t be human anymore!” Chen Yueying curled her lips. She felt that Ye Liuyun’s words implied that he was still dissatisfied with himself, which was rather discouraging.

Ye Liuyun immediately returned all the books to their original places without even looking at the catalog, and he did not put a single one in the wrong spot.

“You really are a genius!” Chen Yueying felt that she fell far short of Ye Liuyun by comparison.

She suddenly thought that if not for her identity, she would not even have been qualified to stay by Ye Liuyun’s side.

“Don’t flatter me to death! All right, I’ve memorized the cultivation techniques, so I can go back now. I need to study them and integrate them into my own technique, which may take some time. If you need anything, just send someone to call me. I’ll go back to my quarters and cultivate.” Ye Liuyun immediately wanted to return and study the techniques.

He had discovered that the cultivation techniques of the Taixu World were indeed considerably more advanced than those of the Immortal Realm. He felt that once he finished studying them, all of his abilities could improve greatly, so he was eager to get started.

Chen Yueying thought for a moment, then said to Ye Liuyun, “You should cultivate at my place instead. I have a cultivation room there as well, and I can guarantee absolute quiet so no one will disturb you.

With the guards coming and going at your place, it’s bound to be rather noisy. The environment may not be suitable for you to cultivate in peace.”

“All right!” Thinking about the cultivation techniques, Ye Liuyun felt that she had a point. Without giving it much thought, he agreed immediately.

He did not notice that Chen Yueying’s face had flushed slightly as she spoke.

Having a guard go to the princess’s residence to cultivate was unprecedented in the prince’s residence. This was, in a sense, special treatment for Ye Liuyun. No man had ever entered her residence before.

Eager to cultivate, Ye Liuyun did not think too much about it. He simply asked Chen Yueying to arrange for someone to inform Liao Yaotian and the others, so they would not worry. Then he followed Chen Yueying back to her residence and went straight into the cultivation room to cultivate.

Chen Yueying watched Ye Liuyun enter her cultivation room with a blissful smile. She even stood there grinning foolishly for a while before remembering to send someone to inform Liao Yaotian and the others.

After obtaining these cultivation techniques, Ye Liuyun treated them like priceless treasures. Once he returned, he first transmitted them to Wu Qingcheng and the other women through his divine sense, then asked them to transcribe the manuals and share them with anyone who needed them.

He immediately began studying them one by one. He started with the most basic qi-refining techniques. They were not as good as his Supreme Divine Essence Technique, but they were still better than what everyone else was currently cultivating. He had no need to cultivate them himself; as for the others, he would let them choose for themselves.

Next, he studied and integrated the various circulation routes used by fist techniques, palm techniques, and the like. After absorbing their principles, he began improving his own fist and palm attacks.

He rarely even used the Heaven-and-Earth Palm anymore and was no longer bound by set moves. The same applied to these techniques. He did not study their forms; he focused only on how to make his attacks more powerful and faster.

As a result, the punches he unleashed appeared to have no discernible pattern. Yet these simple punches and palms possessed tremendous power, and the speed at which they drew upon his divine essence was astonishing as well.

He practiced these new attack patterns until they had become so familiar that they moved according to his every thought. His control over the power of heaven and earth improved dramatically along with them. Only after his attacks were able to stir the momentum of heaven and earth did he stop and begin practicing with the saber, working on incorporating the power of heaven and earth into his sword intention.

Once satisfied, he began cultivating Spatial Force. The spatial cultivation techniques of the Taixu World had all been designed with the solidity of its spatial barriers in mind. After modifying his cultivation method, he soon reached the third spatial barrier, and before long he had broken through to the third layer of the void.

Thus, his Spatial Force had already caught up with Chen Yueying’s. Although Chen Yueying’s Spatial Force was not particularly strong and she had fewer ways of applying it than he did, among martial cultivators of the same realm, it was still considered average.

In other words, his Spatial Force could now stand against martial cultivators at the fourth level of the Taixu realm.

After improving all this, he also further refined the method by which his bloodline circulated through his body. Techniques for circulating power of bloodline through the body were very common in the Taixu World.

The techniques Ye Liuyun had used as references were of a higher grade, so after practicing for some time, he had considerably refined his power of bloodline. This made it more powerful and allowed him to unleash it more efficiently in battle. He could also use it for long periods without suffering the slightest depletion.

“I really struck gold this time!”

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed. He felt that this trip to the prince’s residence had already been well worth it simply because he had obtained these cultivation techniques.

Next was his sword intention. Among the cultivation techniques in the prince’s residence, he finally encountered a higher realm of sword intention: transforming the substantial into the insubstantial and moving according to one’s will.

It was somewhat like what the Immortal Realm called unity between man and saber, except that it was even more advanced. One did not need to move at all to release sword intention directly and kill someone from a thousand miles away with ease.

Ye Liuyun had already experienced this to some extent. He had used sword intention through the method of letting his soul travel through the void, which meant he had gained an early foothold in this realm. All that remained was for him to keep improving.
