Chapter 530

Both of them immediately listened attentively.

"In fact, the Old Man obtained a cultivation technique by chance recently. It's a little interesting, but this cultivation technique has limitations on cultivation level and age, so the Old Man can't use it at all."

"It's a pity to throw this cultivation technique away. I think the two of you are quite talented. As individual cultivators, you probably don't have any good cultivation techniques in the past. If you're interested, you can give it a try."

As he spoke, he took out two identical jade slips and handed them to both of them.

Seeing that the Penglai Pavilion Master was actually rewarding them with cultivation techniques, Miao Fugui was extremely excited and repeatedly thanked him.

On the other hand, Gu Chen was much calmer. After thanking him, he shifted his gaze to the jade slips.

At the beginning of the jade slips were the three big words "Immortal Ascension Technique", which must be the name of this cultivation technique.

Just from the name, one couldn't tell which type it belonged to.

"This cultivation technique came from an ancient relic, so it must be somewhat special. After you try to cultivate it, if you have any questions, you can ask the Old Man."

"Of course, don't bite off more than you can chew. Your foundation is already quite good. If the cultivation technique is not suitable, I won't force it. Just do as you wish."

The Penglai Pavilion Master smiled from ear to ear and then added. "By the way, you can try to cultivate this' Immortal Ascension Technique 'on the spot. If you have any questions, you can ask the Old Man."

Although the Penglai Pavilion Master spoke in a suggestive tone, he was a person of virtue and prestige. Since he had already said so, how could the two of them not give it a try?

Especially when he said that this cultivation technique came from an ancient relic, even Gu Chen was interested. The two of them opened the jade slips and carefully studied them.

This Immortal Ascension Technique was very strange. There were only a few lines of introduction about the cultivation content, and the rest was only a human meridian diagram.

The meridian diagram depicted the circulation route of this cultivation technique. It looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the entire diagram seemed to be moving, and one couldn't help but be attracted to it.

Some of the human meridians described on the diagram were unheard of, but the circulation of the cultivation technique needed to pass through these meridians.

Some tiny and inconspicuous meridians in the human body were taken to be useless meridians by other cultivation techniques and were dispensable. But when it came to this cultivation technique, it took a different path and took them to be the door of profundity.

Gu Chen fell into deep thought as he read on. His intuition told him that there was something strange about this cultivation method.

"What do you think? You should have finished reading this cultivation technique. What do you think? "Pavilion Master Penglai asked with anticipation in his eyes.

"I've never heard of this cultivation method before, but it has an unusual attraction. I would like to try cultivating it!" Miao Fugui said without hesitation.

As an independent cultivator, his original cultivation technique was mediocre. Now that he was rewarded by Penglai Island Master, he paid extra attention to it.

Satisfied, Penglai Island Master looked at Gu Chen and saw that the latter was deep in thought.

"What do you think, little friend?"

Gu Chen slowly closed the jade slip and pondered deeply. "This cultivation technique is indeed special, but the human meridians it involves are too complicated. Some of the circulation routes are different from the mainstream cultivation techniques. Is there any risk in cultivating this technique?"

Penglai Island Master's pupils contracted imperceptibly, but he nodded with a smile.

"That's right. This cultivation method is indeed very different from the mainstream cultivation methods. But considering that it came from an ancient ruin, and that the cultivation methods of ancient cultivators are very different from those of the present, there's nothing strange about it."

"It's said that there were many immortals in the prehistoric era. It's not like now where there are no immortals in the world."

Yearning appeared in Miao Fugui's eyes, and he became more enthusiastic about the Immortal Ascension Scroll in his hand, thinking that this technique might bring him some miraculous encounters.

"There are no more immortal masters on the continent?"

Gu Chen was surprised.

Knowing that Gu Chen came from a remote region and didn't know much about the history, Penglai Island Master explained with a smile.

"The last immortals are the ancestral masters of the 68 immortal sects. 85,555 years ago, they moved to the Immortal Spirit Continent from the Heaven Burial Continent. Since then, no one has broken through the bottleneck of the Grotto-Heaven Realm and stepped into the Shedding Immortal Realm."

The Heaven Burial Continent referred to the Kunlun Continent. 85,555 years ago, the immortals came from beyond the heavens and buried the entire continent. That was why the people on the Immortal Spirit Continent called it this name.

In the Immortal Spirit Continent, the cultivation realms after the Heavenly Being Realm were Dharma Realm, Dharma Realm, Grotto-Heaven Realm, Shedding Immortal Realm, and Dao Seeking Realm.

In the current era, there was a gap in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, which surprised Gu Chen.

"Why did this happen?"

"No one knows the reason. The most common explanation is that the environment has changed, and the essence energy is not as suitable for cultivation as it was in the prehistoric era," Penglai Island Master said.

Gu Chen's eyes flickered. "Does this have something to do with the war on the Heaven Burial Continent?"

Penglai Island Master shook his head. "That's not the case. The war on the Heaven Burial Continent happened only 85,555 years ago, which is the Ancient Era. The Ancient Era happened 855,555 years ago.

"It seems that after the Ancient Era, the environment became less and less suitable for cultivation, and the number of immortals on the Ancient Sky Yellow Star decreased. For example, the patriarchs of the 68 Immortal Sects from 85,555 years ago could already be considered extremely talented if they were able to become immortals during that era. "

"Unfortunately, they disappeared too early. It has been a long time since anyone saw the glory of immortals."

Gu Chen originally thought that the war on the Kunlun Continent had damaged the essence energy of the Ancient Sky Yellow Star, but that was not the case.

"Where did the ancestral masters of the 68 immortal sects go? Based on what Island Master said, they didn't die because their lifespans ran out? "Gu Chen's interest was piqued.

"When cultivators become immortals, they are different from all living things. They might not have a lifespan as long as the heavens, but they can easily live for tens of thousands of years. Not long after the ancestral masters of the 68 immortal sects brought their inheritances from the Heaven Burial Continent to the Immortal Spirit Continent, they disappeared. At the same time, the ancestors of the Gu Clan disappeared.

"No one knows whether they are dead or alive. I'm afraid that only the upper echelons of the 68 immortal sects and the Gu Clan know the truth.

"As for the fact that there have been no immortals in the world for a long time, no one can guarantee that they really don't exist anymore. Maybe it's just that our horizons are too low and we don't have the luck to see them."

Penglai Island Master spoke very cautiously. He was a Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, a first-rate expert in the Immortal Spirit Continent. However, when he mentioned immortals, he was still filled with reverence.

When Gu Chen heard these historical anecdotes, he could not help but let his imagination run wild.

"Alright, the idea of immortals is too vague. You are still young. You just have to be down-to-earth and cultivate well. You can study this Immortal Ascension Art well. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask the Old Man.

"By the way, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Penglai Island Master interrupted Gu Chen's thoughts. His eyes lit up when he heard this.
