Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 880 541: Emperor Scripture_2

Xu Yang smiled and without saying much, he simply waved his sleeve and more Spirit Light appeared, "With true heart in exchange for sincerity, besides this Grass Return Elixir, I also have in my possession cultivation techniques, Emperor Scripture Manuals, and Great Magical Arts. As long as there is something of equivalent value, a trade can be made."

"This..."

Seeing this scene, not to mention the crowd, even Yun Li, the Loose Cultivator who had invited him, was somewhat astonished.

So many cultivation techniques, including Emperor Scripture Manuals and Great Magical Arts?

Even for an Eighth Order Alchemy Immortal Master, isn't this potential a bit too tremendous?

Emperor Scripture Manuals are up for trade, could it be "selling one's heritage without a second thought"?

It seems the rumors are not false, this person truly is...

The expression in everyone's eyes changed, then returned to calm, and an unkempt old man who cared little for his appearance laughed out loud, "Not every cultivation technique can be deemed worthy of the name Emperor Scripture Manual or Great Magical Art."

Xu Yang smiled, the picture of composure, "Feel free to examine them."

Having said that, he waved his sleeve to lift some of the prohibitions, allowing everyone to probe with their Divine Sense.

Emperor Scripture Manuals and Great Magical Arts are terms unique to the Central Region Divine Land since they are related to True Immortals, something not found in the other Four Domains.

Among True Immortals, there are weak and strong, top and bottom tiers.

The bottom tier need not be mentioned; they are those who have become True Immortals by luck, without complete assurance of passing the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation and have no choice but to seek other paths, relying on other methods and taking great risks to attempt, and finally succeed by fluke.

Such True Immortals, though Xu Yang has not encountered, he has seen some examples of them, like the Great Wisdom and Great Virtue from the Earth Immortal Realm.

These two Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, lacking in talent and potential, without assurance of crossing the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, had to seek the southern transmission of Buddhism and rely on the power of Qi Fortune to achieve the fruits of True Buddha.

With such qualifications, even if they become true, they are still bottom-tier characters among Immortals and Buddhas, with rather limited strength.

Following the bottom tier are the second tier, individuals of exceptional talent, those who have proven the Dao with their own strength, with substantial accumulated potential, for whom the Ninefold Immortal Tribulations are not an obstacle, enjoying superiority, able to set themselves apart, and suppress the bottom-tier True Immortals.

Ren Baimei, Qi Zhengming, the Great Roc Heavenly King, and the Fire Evil who has fought him are True Immortals of this class.

This is the second tier. As for the first tier, not only do they possess exceptional talent and the ability to prove the Dao with their own strength, they also hold Immortal Treasures in their hands, their strength among True Immortals can be described as top-notch; the Great Sun Tathagata of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Nine Nether Demon Lord, the Demon Emperor of the Golden Crow, and the Phoenix Master who was defeated by his use of Twilight's power are of this class.

This class of True Immortals, not only exceptional in talent, but their combat power is also paramount, holding complete Ninth Order Immortal Treasures like the Phoenix Slash or incomplete Tenth Order Heavy Weapons like the Godslayer Spear, they represent the utmost limit within True Immortals, almost no one can surpass them.

Therefore, the True Immortals Xu Yang recognizes are only classified into these three tiers: first, second, and third, with the first tier being the pinnacle.

However, after arriving in the Central Region, this understanding changed.

The first tier is not the pinnacle, there is one more level above.

That is the pinnacle True Immortals who possess "Imperial Arms"!

Imperial Arms, also known as Earthly Arms, are Tenth Order treasures of Earth Immortals, the supreme Heavy Weapons left in the world by "ancient Great Emperors."

These Tenth Order treasures of Earth Immortals, although also found in the Earth Immortal Realm, are mostly incomplete, such as the Godslayer Spear in the Nine Nether Demon Lord's hands, so severely damaged that it can only be used as a Ninth Order Immortal Treasure.

These "Imperial Arms" are different; they are complete Tenth Order Heavy Weapons, without any discount in power.

Apart from this, these Imperial Arms also come with the "Emperor Scripture Manuals" left by the ancient Great Emperors. By relying on the power of bloodline, they can further exert the abilities of the Imperial Arms, bringing them to the level of a "Half-step Emperor."

That's why the pinnacle True Immortals such as the Demon Lord, the Great Sun Tathagata in the Earth Immortal Realm, were suppressed, falling to the first-tier level, while only those True Immortals of the Central Region who hold Imperial Arms and possess Emperor Scripture Manuals can claim to be the pinnacle.

From this, one can see the value of "Emperor Scripture Manuals."

Although Emperor Scripture Manuals require ancient emperor lineage, and both complement each other to fully unleash the power of "Imperial Arms," there is no guarantee there aren't exceptions. Hence, the Dynastic Remnant Clans of great emperors have always been guarding their Emperor Scripture Manuals closely, never allowing them to be disclosed.

The same is true for Emperor Scripture Manuals as it is for Great Magical Arts; they are intimately related to "Imperial Arms" and are considered supreme arts in the Central Region Divine Land, almost impossible to be disclosed.

Of course, this is almost impossible, not absolutely. After all, the ancient dynasties once perished, who can guarantee that Emperor Scripture Manuals haven't leaked out? Plus, there are those who act alone without founding empires, and the Heavenly Immortals from primordial times that once roamed the world have left some Emperor Scripture Manuals in the world.

The value of these Emperor Scripture Manuals goes without saying; they are the heritage cultivation methods from ancient Great Emperors or even primordial Heavenly Immortals, very likely connected to Imperial Arms or other Treasures. Great Sects of Immortal Gates and Dynastic Remnant Clans are all vying for these, longing with envy.

Like the previous Bell Mountain relics, that last-excavated Primordial Immortal Mansion might require a certain part of an Emperor Scripture to open.

Therefore, each Emperor Scripture Manual is an invaluable treasure; not to mention Eighth Order Immortal Elixirs, even Ninth Order Immortal Elixirs can hardly be exchanged for it.

With this in mind, Xu Yang actually brought out a collection of cultivation techniques, claiming they were Emperor Scripture Manuals and Great Magical Arts, even allowing everyone to probe them, this...

Let alone a Calamity Immortal, even the city lord of Tianyu Ancient City who holds Tianyu Imperial Arms, a pinnacle True Immortal, might not dare to make such a bold declaration.

He couldn't possibly regard those incomplete techniques from the Outer Domain, which can only reach the state of a Human Immortal, as Emperor Scripture Manuals of the Central Region, could he?

Everyone was secretly suspicious in their hearts but said nothing, allowing their Divine Sense to search within.

And then they saw...

"Xuanyuan Divine Sword Jue—Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword?"

"Five Elements Heaven Immortal Art—Innate Five Directions Banner?"

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture—Innate One Qi Talisman?"

"This..."

Divine Sense probed in, inspecting the mana point, making the crowd furrow their brows tightly, even more dubious and uncertain.

These cultivation techniques, how should one say it?

Seemingly real, yet not real; seemingly fake, yet not fake!

There were indeed mysterious aspects to them, to say they were from the Emperor Scripture Manual would not be an exaggeration.

But an Emperor Scripture Manual should be accompanied by Imperial Arms, and yet the names of these "Imperial Arms..."

Were unheard of, unseen before!

Were they treasures of Divine Land, heavy weapons of ancient emperors?

Or were they...

The crowd was filled with doubts, unable to decide for a moment.

Xu Yang was unconcerned, chuckling as he asked, "Well?"

"This..."

The crowd looked at each other, all finding it difficult to proceed.

Eventually, it was the disheveled-looking old Taoist who spoke up, "These techniques do indeed possess the mystery of an Emperor Scripture Manual, but whether they are real or fake, it's hard to say. This old Taoist doesn't have the capital to make a move. How about trading one stalk of Ninth Order Immortal Elixir, in exchange for two of your Grass Return Pills?"

With that said, he also presented a jade box.

Xu Yang glanced at it, his expression unchanged, "One pill!"

"..."

The old Taoist was silent for a while, then nodded, "One pill it is!"

After saying so, he took a jade bottle into his sleeve.

Xu Yang also put away the jade box, completing the transaction.

Seeing this, others were also moved.

Ninth Order Immortal Elixirs were good, but Eighth Order Immortal Pills were better.

Such items for Crossing the Tribulation, if missed this time, could only be competed for at the Tianyu assembly amongst the various Sacred Places.

Therefore...

Half a day later, when the event ended and the crowd dispersed, Xu Yang got up to leave, and Yun Li, the Loose Cultivator, also bid farewell, "The Tianyu assembly is still some days away, and this small gathering will continue for a few more days. Taoist friend, if you have free time, you can always come to Emerald Screen Residence."

Xu Yang nodded and said with a light smile, "Definitely, definitely!"

Having said so, he then took his leave, leaving behind an atmosphere filled with inexplicable feelings. Soon, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the Emerald Screen Residence suddenly empty.

A Loose Cultivator, with no renowned reputation and unclear origins, yet possessed the skills of an Eighth Order Alchemy Cauldron and many unheard-of Emperor Scripture Manuals—this indeed made people's thoughts run wild.

Was it a conspiracy, a scheme?

A trap, a set-up for a kill?

Or a show of force by a visitor from the Outer Domain?

Regardless, with such enticing profits, everyone wanted to take a chance, to investigate further.

...

The bait was set, the fisher waited in silence, Xu Yang stepped out of the Emerald Screen Residence, intending to leave and take another look at the ancient Tianyu City.

But unexpectedly...

"The Yousu Clan has arrived!"

"That Fox Clan Celestial Maiden has set up a challenge outside the Snow Moon Pavilion, whoever can respond to her questions, satisfying her, can become a favored guest!"
