Mu Jinyu initially thought he had encountered a ghost.

It gave him quite a scare, making him shudder and almost instinctively bring out the Earth Emperor's Tome and the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth to take down the opponent.

But soon, he realized.

This was no ghost.

But rather the senior he had met by chance when he first arrived at the Scripture Pavilion.

At that time, he couldn't find the Human Race Classics Area; it was also this person who led him there.

Later, when he came out, Teacher Chen, after hearing his explanation, advised him with caution not to delve further into it or approach that person.

He didn't know what exactly was happening, what hidden secrets were involved, and later heard people saying vaguely that perhaps this senior had gone mad from cultivating the Human Race's cultivation techniques, unsure if he lost his mind...

Anyway, most people dared not interact with him.

"Phew..."

"So it's you, senior..."

Mu Jinyu was not so wary; instead, he felt a certain closeness to the man, as he had once guided him to the Human Race Classics Area, essentially doing him a small favor. Naturally, he wouldn't put up a cold demeanor.

"Your cultivation... Fourth Layer of the Void Breaking Realm?!"

At this moment, the long-haired elder rasped a question.

His voice was like nails scraping on a blackboard, sharp and grating.

This made Mu Jinyu feel that apart from being unclear-minded, people avoiding the elder could likely also be due to his unpleasant voice.

"Yes, that's right..."

Mu Jinyu nodded, smiling modestly: "Just a stroke of luck..."

The elder nodded indifferently, continuing to probe: "Is it the Marrow Nourishment Chapter of the Humanity Path Sutra?"

"Uh..."

Mu Jinyu hesitated for a moment, not mentioning he was cultivating his own improved version of the Marrow Nourishment Chapter, and vaguely said, "Yes..."

"No!"

"That's a dead-end!"

"Do not cultivate that formula; it will completely ruin you!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's response, the elder suddenly shouted emotionally.

His cry really resembled the mournful screech of a night owl, harsh and jarring.

Mu Jinyu almost couldn't understand what the elder was saying.

But soon, he sorted his thoughts and understood what the elder was talking about.

Mu Jinyu was a bit astonished, not expecting the elder to have delved so deeply into the Human Race cultivation path, even grasping the issues in the Marrow Nourishment Chapter that could ruin one's foundation.

However, the elder meant well, showing concern for him, advising him not to go astray.

Thinking about it warmed Mu Jinyu's heart; he replied honestly: "Actually, I'm not cultivating the original Marrow Nourishment Chapter; I have smelted various scriptures to create my own version of the Marrow Nourishment Chapter, without the drawback of consuming human potential!"

"Oh?!"

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's reply, the elder, initially agitated, suddenly calmed down.

He lifted the long hair covering his face, revealing a face with bold features like those carved with an ax.

If this face had been youthful, it would have seemed heroic and extraordinary, but with age, his face was lined with wrinkles and folds and was less magnificent.

Yet it still exuded a sense of pressure.

"Tell me about your cultivation,"

The elder asked curiously.

His tone left no room for doubt, not permitting Mu Jinyu to refuse.

Such a tone is generally off-putting, and if it were anyone else, Mu Jinyu might have dismissed the person.

But when the elder spoke, it seemed almost natural.

Mu Jinyu inexplicably felt no displeasure.

He realized the elder cared for him, fearing he might take the wrong path again, wanting to see if his cultivation method had issues.

And not to pry into his cultivation techniques.

Thinking it over, Mu Jinyu didn't mind disclosing his cultivation method.

If possible, he'd rather everyone in the Canglan Realm's Human Race cultivate his techniques!

Rather than rely on foreign race bloodlines and techniques!

"Alright."

Without much hesitation, Mu Jinyu readily agreed, then relayed his improved version of the Marrow Nourishment Chapter to the elder via Spiritual Thought.

Upon receiving the Marrow Nourishment Chapter, the elder quietly contemplated and absorbed it.

Soon, a terrifying gravity suddenly enveloped his surroundings.

Mu Jinyu watched in shock!

This gravity completely surpassed that of the intermediate gravity training room.

Mu Jinyu suspected that the gravity in the advanced gravity training room might be just like this.

Perhaps, this gravity might even be more terrifying than the advanced gravity training room's!

Then, Mu Jinyu found the elder's internal organs resonating at an astonishing speed.

Afterward, the elder suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His terrifying aura plummeted, even appearing somewhat wilted.

"Senior?!"

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu was startled and couldn't help but cry out, quickly rushing over to support the elder.

"I'm fine..."

The elder's tone was initially weak, but after gesturing to Mu Jinyu, his injury recovered rapidly, restoring quickly.

This made Mu Jinyu's eyes flicker, wondering if the elder had also slashed away foreign race bloodlines, transforming into a pureblooded human race cultivator?

Otherwise, how did his injury recover so quickly?

And how did he figure out how to cultivate Mu Jinyu's improved Marrow Nourishment Chapter just by glancing at it?

This senior was probably truly a human race predecessor who had gone far on the humanity path cultivation path, right?

While Mu Jinyu's mind buzzed with various guesses,

The elder spoke again, voice becoming deep and powerful, waving his hand: "You've taken the wrong path too; it works initially, but at the later stage of the Void Breaking Realm, you can't withstand the resonance of your internal organs; the inherent potential within can't outweigh the damage to your five viscera!"

"Is that so..."

Mu Jinyu listened to the elder's words, not doubting whether he was deliberately misleading him, causing him to wander longer.

Because he also had sensed that this path might be OK initially, but later, it might indeed be untenable.

However, since the early stages work and he has no better path, he didn't mind cultivating it to see.

But with this concern, he came to the Human Race cultivation area today to absorb more cultivation laws, hoping to devise more suitable techniques.

"Then, since you say so and your cultivation is so high, have you forged a suitable humanity path?"

After remaining silent for a while, Mu Jinyu suddenly thought of something, bright-eyed, looking eagerly at the elder.

"Hmm, I indeed, like you, upon discovering the Humanity Path Sutra's Marrow Nourishment Chapter issues, spent years improving it and cultivated it, although it has problems, and it's not perfect, at least it allows you to cultivate safely and efficiently..."

After a moment of silence, the elder said softly.

"So..." Mu Jinyu's eyes grew brighter, rubbing his hands with slight embarrassment, saying: "Then can I..."

"Sure, I intended to teach you..." the elder answered decisively before Mu Jinyu could finish his hesitant speech.
