Chapter 692: Chapter 357: Return to Green Flame Palace, Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique_2
Following that, he proceeded directly to the Inheritance Hall.
Just then, a disciple was forcibly expelled by the mysterious power within the Inheritance Hall and ended up landing beside Lu Yun in a position resembling a dog eating its own excrement.
Lu Yun found this fellow somewhat familiar, and after giving it some thought, he recognized him as the disciple he had met during his and Li Zhichang’s first visit to the Inheritance Hall to choose a cultivation technique. It seemed his name was Jiang Cheng, and he had explained some matters about the Inheritance Hall to them.
“Was it necessary to be so violent? I only delayed it by one breath, and I did pay the points anyway. Such pettiness really pisses me off!”
After grumbling, Jiang Cheng stretched out a hand and said to Lu Yun with a beaming smile, “Junior Brother, lend me a hand.”
After helping him up, Lu Yun chuckled and said, “Senior Brother Jiang, how come you always land in the same pose every time? How do you practice that?”
“Do we know each other, or have we met before?”
Jiang Cheng ignored Lu Yun’s teasing and looked at him confusedly for a good while.
“No way, with Junior Brother’s peerless good looks and the aura of a Heavenly Pride, if I had met you before…”
At this point, he paused, as if he had suddenly remembered something. His pupils contracted sharply as he pointed at Lu Yun and stuttered:
“You… you… Are you one of the four new official disciples who visited the Inheritance Hall last time?”
Lu Yun nodded, “Yes, I am Lu Yun. The other three are my friends. We were grateful for Senior Brother Jiang’s guidance during our first visit to the Inheritance Hall.”
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath as a torrent of thoughts swirled in his heart.
A year ago when he visited the Inheritance Hall, he had been fortunate enough to find a Divine Ability that deeply resonated with him. Afterwards, he randomly chatted with a few new disciples.
He remembered clearly that among those individuals, three were at the first level of the Heavenly Human Realm, while the other, who was none other than Lu Yun he was seeing now, was merely at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Back then, he had simply given a few casual tips and had not even asked for the names of the new disciples before leaving.
As someone who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Human Realm at the time, he indeed had no need to pay much attention to a few new disciples.
Yet now, to his astonishment, upon meeting again, he discovered that the other party had already reached the seventh grade of the Heavenly Human Realm.
After his expression fluctuated for a while, Jiang Cheng finally forced a smile and said, “Junior Brother Lu, how on earth did you cultivate? Others spend decades and still can’t match the progress you’ve made.”
“I encountered some opportunities while doing missions outside,” Lu Yun casually explained, then changed the subject. “Senior Brother, do you know if there is any Divine Ability in the Inheritance Hall that can conceal cultivation level? Please recommend one to me.”
He couldn’t discern Jiang Cheng’s realm, which suggested that the latter might also have cultivated a Divine Ability to conceal his cultivation level—hence the question.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng gave Lu Yun a slightly odd look but did not hide anything.
“To my knowledge, there are at least three Divine Abilities in the first floor of the Inheritance Hall that can hide one’s cultivation level, but I only know their rough locations.”
Lu Yun’s eyes immediately lit up, knowing he had asked the right person.
As long as he knew the general location, he could greatly reduce the time searching for Divine Abilities, thereby avoiding the waste of points.
One should know that each visit to the Inheritance Hall consumed a large amount of points and allowed a stay for just an hour.
So, Lu Yun immediately said, “Then, please tell me the rough locations, Senior Brother. I’ll owe you a favor.”
“When I was searching for Divine Abilities before, I took note that Qian San, Zhen Ba, and Dui Twelve each had a Divine Ability that hides one’s cultivation level. However, at that time, I had already cultivated such a Divine Ability, so I didn’t look into the details. I’m not sure of their exact grade, but Junior Brother can go check them out.”
“Senior Brother Jiang, I thank you,” Lu Yun bowed to the other party, then eagerly entered the Inheritance Hall.
Watching Lu Yun’s retreating figure, Jiang Cheng’s mouth curved into a slight grin, “Our disciples of Tai Yuan, especially those with high talents, are all crafty. Now, there’s another little tricky one. Things are getting more and more interesting.”
…
The first floor of the Inheritance Hall was vast and boundless, divided into Divine Ability and Cultivation Technique areas.
Within them, the Divine Ability and Cultivation Technique areas were divided into Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui eight sectors, arranged according to the Bagua layout.
The Qian and Kun sectors, among others, are divided into eight detailed partitions, with thirty-six zones in each sector, each bursting with an abundance of divine abilities and cultivation techniques. This is the foundation of a super power.
Because there are so many cultivation techniques and divine abilities, Green Fire Palace disciples only need to pay ten thousand credits to stay in the Inheritance Hall for half an hour.
During this time, no matter what level of divine ability or cultivation technique you acquire, not a single credit is charged.
Of course, the highest divine abilities in the first layer of the Inheritance Hall are merely Seventh Grade, and the cultivation techniques are only of the Heavenly Human Realm level.
If one wishes to obtain higher-level divine abilities and cultivation techniques, they must go to the second layer.
Entering the second layer once requires one hundred thousand credits, and each visit is limited to half an hour.
At the same time, whether ordinary disciples or elite disciples, each can only enter the Inheritance Hall once a month, and can select at most one divine power.
Therefore, those disciples who are less fortunate may not successfully obtain a high-level or suitable divine ability even after a year or more.
Lu Yun was naturally aware of these rules, which is why he offered that favor to Jiang Cheng as soon as he received the news.
The moment he entered the Inheritance Hall, the credits on Lu Yun’s Prime Origin Token dropped from 63,600 to 53,600.
He glanced over the densely packed and starry clusters of light orbs and withdrew his gaze, heading straight to the divine ability zone, to Qian Three.
With only half an hour, he had to hurry; otherwise, he would not only have to wait until the next month to enter the Inheritance Hall, but he would also waste ten thousand credits for nothing, which was not something Lu Yun could tolerate.
After arriving in Qian Three, Lu Yun immediately released his consciousness, searching quickly.
These floating white orbs remained perfectly still, revealing their basic information to any consciousness that covered them.
However, given the vast expanse of divine abilities, akin to a densely packed starry sky, it would take at least seven to eight days to inspect every divine ability in the Qian Three zone with a Seventh-Level Heavenly Human Realm’s consciousness.
Lu Yun’s consciousness was far stronger than his peers and, after the painstaking practice of the Divine Grinding Visualization Technique and the cultivation of the God-Killing Blade, he had very fine control over his consciousness, capable of dividing it into nine to search for divine abilities simultaneously.
Still, finding that one divine ability to conceal his cultivation level among so many orbs was no easy task.
With only half an hour, Lu Yun could only hope his luck wouldn’t be too bad.
Making full use of his strengths, Lu Yun divided his attention nine ways, his consciousness splitting into nine parts, each searching nine different orbs at once, thereby increasing his efficiency ninefold, which was twenty to thirty times that of other Seventh-Level Heavenly Human Realm cultivators.
And wouldn’t you know it, while he didn’t find the divine ability to hide his cultivation level, he did discover several Seventh Grade divine abilities.
In the first layer of the Inheritance Hall, Ninth Grade divine powers were most common, followed by ungraded Tenth Grade, and then Eighth Grade.
Seventh Grade divine powers were extremely rare, almost one in a thousand.
Lu Yun suddenly found so many Seventh Grade divine abilities, due in part to his exceptionally strong consciousness and his good luck.
Only half of the allotted half hour had passed, and he had found the divine ability he desired.
His consciousness settled on a white orb, and the information about the divine ability flowed into his Sea of Consciousness.
The Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, a Seventh Grade Divine Ability, attaining Entry Level allows one to arbitrarily lower one’s aura by a small realm, Small Achievement by two small realms… and Perfection by four.
Note: Ineffective against those in the Entering Saint Realm.
Seeing this final piece of information, Lu Yun was not disappointed; on the contrary, he felt somewhat excited.
“As expected of a special-grade divine ability, merely at Seventh Grade, it is able to shield against the divine consciousness detection of those below the Saint Realm.”
Having found the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique, Lu Yun couldn’t be bothered to go to the Zhen Eight zone or the Exchange Twelve zone.
The divine ability to conceal cultivation level was quite special and incredibly scarce. Even if Zhen Eight and Exchange Twelve zones had them, the probability of being Seventh Grade was slim.
Even if they were Seventh Grade, they might not be better than the Cave Mystic Divine Stealth Technique.
So, Lu Yun simply left the Inheritance Hall and then went to the central region, to the Countless Treasure Tower.
