Chapter 1012: Chapter 773: Scholar Level 30_2

...

Looking at the line of text in front of him, Qin An fell into silence once again.

He realized that, just like before, there were no new characteristics or talents appearing this time.

He didn’t know what was wrong with this Golden Finger, but the problem was definitely significant.

However, Qin An had no corresponding clues to find the source of the issue, so he could only continue according to the original plan.

Thinking upon this, Qin An took a deep breath and took out a book from his bosom.

This was a Heart Method, also a Cultivation Technique he recently found in the Imperial Palace Treasure Vault, named Celestial Extinction Skill, a cultivation technique of the Celestial Human Realm.

It focused on improving one’s understanding of the powers of heaven and earth.

For Qin An, the Heart Method he needed now was indeed extremely difficult to find.

It’s not that there aren’t enough Heart Methods, but those matching the Selfless Realm are extremely rare, almost nonexistent.

Because in the entire Daqian Kingdom, besides him and Emperor Xuanwu, only Zhou Lingyu was a cultivator of the Selfless Realm.

Therefore, for him now, the difficulty of finding a Heart Method is not in quantity, but in quality.

But Qin An could not remain stagnant either.

Thus, he could only deduce the original cultivation technique to the Selfless Realm, and then continue to enhance after fusion.

Thinking of this, Qin An hesitated no longer and opened the Celestial Extinction Skill, carefully reading through it.

Once he finished reading the cultivation technique, he had already grasped the content of the Celestial Extinction Skill.

Without much thought, Qin An followed the path of the Celestial Extinction Skill and circulated the qi and blood within his body.

As the Celestial Extinction Skill began to circulate, a line of text instantly appeared, floating mid-air.

[You practice the Celestial Extinction Skill, triggering the talent of the Scholar Profession, Celestial Extinction Skill (Perfection)]

This Heart Method of the Celestial Human Realm, in a mere instant, was cultivated by Qin An to the Perfect level.

However, for him, this level was still inadequate.

Upon this thought, Qin An turned his attention to his original Heart Method.

The instant he began cultivating, the text composed of smoke rapidly dissipated, forming new words.

[You possess strengths of two Heart Methods and intend to fuse them into one, but alas, your talent is lacking, resulting in fusion failure]

[You understand that while the situation seems peaceful now, you might be mysteriously whisked away next second, facing unknown dangers. Therefore, you must hasten to enhance your strength]

[Subsequently, you start burning qi and blood. When a large amount of qi and blood burns, your understanding of the two cultivation techniques deepens, and a flash of insight is born in your mind]

[You know that solely relying on the insight, you cannot completely fuse the two Heart Methods, so you keep burning more qi and blood within your body. As the qi and blood frantically burn again, the insight in your mind gradually expands, ultimately merging the two Heart Methods into one, creating a new cultivation technique]

[You named the new cultivation technique Celestial Extinction Heartless Skill]

[Celestial Extinction Heartless Skill (Great Success)]

In just an instant, a huge mass of qi and blood within Qin An’s body disappeared.

Along with the disappearance of the massive qi and blood, this Heart Method instantly became top-notch, fusing with his original Heart Method into a new cultivation technique, named Celestial Extinction Heartless Skill.

Moreover, aside from retaining the routes of the former Heart Method, this Celestial Extinction Heartless Heart Skill also enhances the ability to communicate with the heavens and earth.

Qin An was very satisfied with this.

At this moment, he had achieved the Great Success of the Selfless Realm, feeling as if he had inexhaustible power.

But just as Qin An felt this power, a strong suction force simultaneously reached him.

Qin An abruptly raised his head, looking toward the void ahead.

The force in the void was continuously pouring toward him.

He could feel that the suction from that world had intensified significantly.

Perhaps when he reaches the Selfless Realm Perfection, this suction force will draw away most of his emotions.

By then, though he would retain a portion of his emotions, the majority wouldn’t be able to sustain his physical body, plunging him into a muddled state.

An expert of the Selfless Realm entering a muddled state is akin to an unstable bomb, likely to explode at any moment.

Qin An frowned, thinking to himself: "Seems like I can’t advance my realm for now. I can only bring more living beings into the Daqian Kingdom’s realm to resist the suction force."

Qin An didn’t ponder further, still intending to proceed along the original path.

After all, not being able to advance his realm doesn’t mean he can’t boost the proficiency of other professions by bringing other cultivation techniques to the Selfless Realm Great Success.

He just needs to avoid realm advancement.

Just as Qin An was about to leave to train the proficiency of Butcher and Blacksmith professions, a sound of footsteps came closer.

Qin An turned to look and saw the personal eunuch of the current Emperor. He slightly frowned: "Your Majesty called you to meet me. Could it be that his matters are almost handled?"

The old eunuch saluted Qin An before speaking in a sharp voice: "Indeed, Mr. Qin is truly brilliant. The plan on Your Majesty’s side is almost complete, just waiting for Mr. Qin to go over to fine-tune the final step. Please follow me to the Imperial Study."

Qin An pondered for a moment, temporarily suppressing the idea of training proficiency.

Because for him, mastering the Ring of the Spirit was more important.

Thereafter, Qin An didn’t waste words and followed behind the old eunuch, heading toward the Imperial Study.

...

Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Xuanwu played with a circular ring in his hand, displaying a hint of joy on his face: "It’s done, not only done but very perfectly. Now that we have this, perhaps it can help our world resist the force of destruction or even confront the opposing side."

As he was musing, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Reaching Emperor Xuanwu’s level, it was natural to know who the visitor was.

He set down the Ring of the Spirit and, upon seeing Qin An push open the door, pulled out a document, sliding it across the table to Qin An.

"Qin An, I have crafted the things you mentioned, now you look while I explain."

Qin An sat across Emperor Xuanwu, picking up the document and examining it intently.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanwu wasted no words and began a detailed explanation.

"This time, a total of over a thousand kinds of Rings of the Spirit were made, a significant accomplishment. And should we seek out those pseudo-gods yet to fully develop, these Rings of the Spirit will suffice."

"After all, the purpose of the Ring of the Spirit is merely to guide them towards good; those pseudo-gods are like blank slates, entirely within our grasp."

Speaking of this, a trace of pride flashed in Emperor Xuanwu’s eyes.

He felt truly proud regarding this matter, as the project hadn’t consumed much time from start to present.

Qin An surveyed the Rings of the Spirit on the table, thoroughly checking them, then nodded: "If each Ring of the Spirit possesses this quality, it indeed suffices."

"And moreover, we’ll continue to produce them subsequently. As long as we keep supply over demand, we won’t have this route cut off."

With this, Qin An set aside the Rings of the Spirit, sinking into contemplation.

Although the matter of the Rings of the Spirit had been resolved, besides them, another issue was yet unresolved.

Emperor Xuanwu too discerned Qin An’s thoughts and showed a slight helpless expression: "What you’re contemplating is likely what I’m contemplating; indeed, this matter poses some difficulty, given it’s a greater hazard for us than crafting the Rings of the Spirit."

What matter concerns them so gravely?

It naturally concerns sending someone to install the Rings of the Spirit on those pseudo-gods.

Qin An pondered for a bit before slowly speaking: "Seems like this task requires my personal intervention."
