Chapter 873

On Lingering Fragrance Peak, in the heritage palace, there was no sign of anyone outside the heritage chamber. Nun Jing Yi was not waiting here.

Inside the heritage chamber, Peacock, Chen Chen, and Swift were no longer in the study. Beside the study, behind the wall that emitted a faint white glow was a large space!

In this space, the mountain walls in all directions were inlaid with Luminous Pearls, like stars in the sky, illuminating the space. Under the starry sky, Peacock, Chen Chen, and Swift each sat cross-legged in a position with their palms facing the sky and their eyes closed in silence.

Everything looked tranquil. However, under the light of the Night Pearl, the seemingly dark mountain wall was inlaid with many stones of different colors and sizes. Although these stones of different colors covered the entire mountain wall, they were extremely neat. The stones of different colors might be of the same color together, or they might be of different colors. However, if one were to take a closer look, they would not be able to see anything.

Although these stones did not emit a dazzling brilliance and were covered by the Luminous Pearls, after looking at them for a long time, one would naturally know that these stones were the rulers of this starry sky!

Peacock closed her eyes as she sat below a fiery red rock. Her face was slightly impatient. She was following the instructions in the introductory chant of the [Art of Developing Ice] to adjust her breathing. She opened all the pores on her body and tried again and again to feel the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in the secret chamber. Unfortunately, it was already the thirteenth day and there was still no effect. The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth mentioned in the mental cultivation method was not only not absorbed into her body, she could not even feel it!

"Could it be that I'm not fated to be an immortal?"

Peacock was not anxious. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Chen Chen and Swift who were sitting not far in front of her.

The three of them had already chosen the cultivation method they wanted to cultivate on the very first day they entered the secret chamber. The thin booklet only recorded the introductory chant, which was not difficult for these talented people. Although the chant was obscure and the method was unimaginable, they were able to comprehend it in just one day.

After Peacock crossed the glowing white wall, Chen Chen and Swift followed suit.

Peacock heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Chen and Swift were frowning as well. "It looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't understand and can't sense any worldly energy. Even my two junior sisters aren't making any progress!"

"The cultivation of the Path of Immortality is truly unimaginable. It actually absorbs Primordial Qi from Heaven and Earth to temper one's meridians. Compared to the Path of Martial Arts, which uses one's own hard work to generate internal energy, this is a hundred times stronger. Yes, it should be ten thousand times stronger!

No matter how tough a person's meridians are, there is always a limit to the amount of internal energy they can generate. However, there is an infinite amount of elemental energy in the world. Immortal Dao techniques can be absorbed from the outside world like drinking water. Of course, martial arts can't compare! "

"Moreover, Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques can mobilize Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to be used for attack and defense. They are extremely powerful, and it is even possible to move mountains and drain seas. It is truly not something that Martial Dao can compare to.

However, it is precisely because Immortal Dao relies on external forces and is heavily dependent on the external environment. If there is a great change in Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, just like what Master said, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi can no longer be used since ten thousand years ago. It is so thin that it can no longer be absorbed. This directly led to the destruction of Immortal Dao! "

"But... The Path of Immortality has been destroyed for ten thousand years. How can Incense Sect pass down the Path of Immortality?

How can we sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this secret room and even absorb the first strand of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into our bodies? "

With this thought in mind, Peacock turned her gaze to the colorful stones on the stone wall above her.

"This is the so-called Primordial Stone. I remember when I entered the Valley of Dusk a few years ago, Master gave me a piece and told me to use it carefully. When I returned from the Valley of Dusk, he took it back."

Peacock instantly understood. The Primordial Stone embedded on the stone wall above her head was the key to passing down the legacy of Incense Sect. There must be something fishy about the way these Primordial Stones were embedded!

"Formation!!!"

These two words inadvertently flashed across Peacock's mind. "That's right, it is a formation. Isn't the illusion formation in the Refining Heart Cave an array?

Even though I can't see how the array was set up, the Refining Heart Cave must have been set up with Primordial Stones! "

"But what kind of formation was set up with so many Primordial Stones?"

Peacock was perplexed. "What kind of magical formation could allow someone who has never sensed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to absorb the first strand of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi from this secret room?

Hmm, it should be when the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is thin. It allows the disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi through normal means, just like when Immortal Dao flourished! "

With this thought, Peacock frowned. She seemed to recall her Master talking to her about this before. But it was so long ago, how could she remember clearly?

"Sigh, it seems like I still don't have the aptitude to cultivate Immortal Dao techniques."

Peacock sighed. "Even at such a crucial moment, I can't believe I'm still thinking about such boring things!"

As she sighed, Peacock was about to look away when suddenly she seemed to have noticed something. Her eyes widened. "There are so many Primordial Stones on this stone wall. It feels like there are many colors. But if I look closely, there should be six colors. Oh, no, it should be five colors!"

With this thought, Peacock was enlightened. "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation!"

"Yes, it's the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation. Master mentioned before that using the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Yuan Qi can be set up into a magical formation. It gathers the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the formation, causing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to be several times thicker than the outside!

That must be it. Now that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is so thin, only the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation can gather the thin Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi together. It's almost as thick as when Immortal Dao was at its peak. Only this way can disciples like us who have no foundation in Immortal Dao be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi! "

After that, Peacock understood everything. "The Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation is set up with Primordial Stones of five different elements. Under the Primordial Stones of different elements, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of different elements must be different. Ice Developing Technique, although I don't know how it's recorded in the back, but from the name, it's a Water-type technique."

Peacock looked up and saw the fiery red Primordial Stones above her. She smiled bitterly. "The fiery red Primordial Stones are probably of the Fire attribute. I'm practicing Water-type techniques under these Fire attribute Primordial Stones, how can I succeed?"

She then looked up and saw that there was a light blue Primordial Stone opposite her. Chen Chen was sitting under it!

Peacock knew what kind of technique Chen Chen and Yuyan were using. It was the Blazing Heart Technique. Needless to say, just based on the word "flame", it should be a fire-based technique. Chen Chen was also sitting under the Water Primordial Stone. How could he succeed?

She then looked at Swift. She chose Star Slashing Technique. If she was not wrong, it should be a Metal attribute technique. Above Swift's head, there were a few different types of Primordial Stones, but there was no Gold Primordial Stone.

"No wonder!"

Peacock was enlightened, but then she was puzzled. "The Leader must know about this. Why didn't she remind us before we entered the secret room?

Could it be that there's something... "

Peacock did not want to think any further. After all, the Leader always had a reason for everything she did. There was no reason for her to explain it to her. More importantly, the time was almost up. If she could not sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a few more days and could not absorb it into her body, then the inheritance would be a failure!

Peacock did not hesitate to get up.

The moment she got up, Chen Chen and Swift opened their eyes. Chen Chen was shocked. "Senior, you've entered the sect so quickly?"

Swift did not speak, but her eyes were filled with envy!

Peacock said impatiently, "It's not that fast!" Then she walked in front of Chen Chen and said, "I'll sit here, you... go sit beside me!"

Chen Chen had always listened to Peacock since he was young. Without hesitation, he got up.

Peacock and Chen Chen switched places and both of them closed their eyes.

Swift saw this and her eyes were filled with confusion. She stared at the two of them for a while before she closed her eyes.

At this time, Peacock smiled and said, "Swift, go sit over there!"

As he spoke, he pointed at a spot below a golden origin stone!

Swift was stunned and did not know what to do. She looked at Peacock who had closed her eyes expressionlessly.

Swift saw that Chen Chen also had his eyes closed and her heart skipped a beat. She was different from Peacock and Chen Chen. Priestess Xue was also different from Priestess Jingfan. Therefore, she knew much less about the sect's secrets. Since the two of them had switched places, they must have discovered something. It would be fine if they did not tell her but since they did, it must be beneficial to her. She had been sitting here for more than ten days and had not made any progress. Perhaps Peacock was right...

Swift was an intelligent person. To be able to stand out in the selection, how could she be a simple person?

Once she understood, she immediately got up and moved to the spot below the Gold Primordial Stone.

The three of them started again...

In Mo Xuan's palace, Priestess Jing Yi took out a scroll and read it carefully. As she was reading, she sighed for no reason and put the scroll on the table. She floated up and walked slowly to the palace gate. She looked up at the sun that was close to noon and sighed. "It's already the seventeenth day. If he doesn't come out tomorrow, this... this inheritance will be considered a failure. The selection is already so difficult, the inheritance of the Incense Sect... It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

At this time, she heard footsteps in the distance. "Could it be that someone has come out?"

Priestess Jing Yi looked up and her face was immediately filled with disappointment. The person who came was none other than the head of Ruijin Palace, Great Elder Jing Gang!

Seeing Great Elder Jing Gang's happy face, Priestess Jing Yi was puzzled. She went up and smiled. "Great Senior Sister, is there any good news?"

Priestess Jing Gang did not neglect her. She first saluted and then said, "Great Leader, what do you think of the matter I told you before?"
