Chapter 237: The Correct Way to Open Heavenly Rank Top Grade Cultivation Technique

Chapter 237: The Correct Way to Open Heavenly Rank Top Grade Cultivation Technique

“Forget it, now isn’t the time to worry about whose fault it is.”

“Quickly, prepare the items and let our eldest grandson go up to the Cultivation Technique Tower.”

Knowing he was partly to blame, Gu Kuang didn’t dwell on Gu Zhan’s issue any longer and simply clamored for him to hurry and get ready.

Of course, Gu Zhan wouldn’t say anything more either.

Before long, he handed over some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Gu Changge.

And took him to the very top floor of the Cultivation Technique Tower.

The Gu Family’s ancestral cultivation techniques were different from those of the Heavenly Cold Sect; they were not recorded on jade scrolls.

Instead, they were inscribed on a meteorite that radiated a strong Xuanhuang Qi.

“These are the legacies left behind by our predecessors who grasped the Taoist techniques.”

“While each person’s comprehension is largely similar, you may also use these jade scrolls to find inspiration.”

The techniques inscribed on the Xuanhuang Qi-emitting meteorite were incomplete and required one’s own comprehension.

However, for years, the Gu Family had developed a solution.

All those who grasped the technique would leave behind their insights and experiences, making it easier for their descendants to comprehend the Heavenly Rank Techniques.

Seeing this, Gu Changge nodded slightly, resolving some of his doubts.

He had wondered why the family didn’t make the Heavenly Rank Technique available to all the direct lineage like the sects; apparently, it wasn’t that simple.

To inherit the Heavenly Rank Technique, one needed sufficient comprehension, and to become the Young Master, one had to be an outstanding individual of their generation.

Only then would they be qualified to attempt comprehension.

“I should tell you in advance, not everyone can grasp the Heavenly Rank Technique.”

“Out of dozens of generations of Young Masters in our Gu Family, only a little over ten jade scrolls of insights have been left behind; you should understand what that represents.”

Gu Zhan explained offhand as he saw him looking at the jade scrolls on the rack.

“Did Great Grandfather ever grasp it?”

Gu Changge nodded in understanding and casually asked another question.

“Grasp it yourself; I have other important matters to attend to.”

Having heard the question, Gu Zhan didn’t answer but turned around with a darkened face and left.

Although he didn’t get a response, Gu Changge knew the answer…

It seemed even the Family Head had not been able to comprehend the Heavenly Rank Technique from the Xuanhuang meteorite. Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“Four hundred comprehension, if I can’t grasp the technique, that would be a joke.”

Gu Changge wasn’t worried in the least, muttering to himself.

He didn’t choose to look at the experiences and insights left behind on those jade scrolls; instead, he directly sat cross-legged in front of the massive Xuanhuang meteorite.

When he tried to touch it, he found himself blocked by the Xuanhuang Qi.

After circulating the Mystic Sky Technique and coating his hand with Xuanhuang Qi, he managed to get a bit closer but still couldn’t touch the meteorite’s surface.

“Interesting…”

Gu Changge’s eyes brightened as he began to focus intently on the arcane and abstruse Taoist scriptures inscribed on the meteorite.

What was originally arcane and abstruse suddenly became clear to him, and he understood the meaning!

Such was the benefit brought by comprehension!

“This is no Heavenly Rank Lower…”

After a long look, Gu Changge took a deep breath, surprised.

He had just comprehended two Heavenly Rank Lower Techniques; one was the Heavenly Cold Technique, which he had just shared with Qingqing not long ago, and the other was the Northern Domain Royal Family’s Emperor Dragon Control Secret Technique he had shared with Yue’er!

He was probably the only person in the entire three major powers of the Northern Domain who had simultaneously mastered two Heavenly Rank Lower Techniques.

After a cursory observation, though, he felt something was amiss.

The comprehension inscribed here was definitely not just Heavenly Rank Lower; in fact, it greatly surpassed it!

He became engrossed in his studies for a while.

Time went by slowly, and before he knew it, a day had passed.

This only confirmed his belief that the technique inscribed was not a simple Heavenly Rank Lower Technique; the forebears had understood only the surface.

“Could Cousin grasp the Gu Family’s Heavenly Rank Technique?”

The following morning, Gu Changming went to the Cultivation Technique Tower.

He was surprised to find that many Elders were already waiting outside, apparently having received the news.

Hearing him, Elder Five, who had been quietly waiting to flatter the Young Master the moment he arrived, immediately retorted, “What do you mean ‘could’? Remove the ‘could’!”

“Cough… Yes, with Cousin’s incredible talent, there shouldn’t be any mishaps.”

Gu Changming shrank his neck slightly, still a bit intimidated in front of the family Elders.

“Old Five, why bully our grandson?”

Gu Kuang’s voice suddenly rang out as he came to see if his eldest grandson had finished the comprehension.

Normally, comprehension would take at least ten days or half a month.

But he had a mysterious confidence in his eldest grandson!

Others needed ten days or half a month; his grandson would suffice with one day!

Unfortunately, by the time he arrived, he still hadn’t seen his grandson complete his comprehension.

“That’s hardly possible.”

“Elders, isn’t it normal to take ten days to half a month for comprehension?”

Elder Five casually replied.

The others nodded slightly; they were there just to join the excitement, and no one expected Gu Changge to emerge from the Cultivation Technique Tower within a day.

"Others might need half a month, but can our eldest grandson be the same?"

"Have you ever seen a genius like our eldest grandson?"

"Can you find a second one?" Gu Kuang confidently surveyed the crowd and said.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, and indeed no one refuted.

What he said did make sense.

There truly hadn't been such a heaven-defying existence like the Young Master in the Northern Domain.

If he came out in one day, that would be reasonable too!

"Just wait a bit longer, maybe he will come out soon?"

"If nothing else, two or three days should be enough."

Elder Five spoke up in agreement.

For a moment, those who had planned to watch and leave actually stopped and waited.

But as time passed,

three days had gone by in the blink of an eye,

and there was no movement inside the Cultivation Technique Tower at all!

"Something isn't right."

Gu Kuang frowned; he had not left for three days and had been sitting right in front of the Cultivation Technique Tower.

Speaking of which, the scene was somewhat strange.

Those elders had also anticipated that the Young Master would not take long to come out.

They had simply brought over tables and chairs, sitting there drinking tea and discussing, and even wagering on how long it would take to comprehend the cultivation technique.

Undoubtedly, no one doubted that the Young Master could not comprehend it.

"Just wait."

Gu Zhan also came to the front of the Cultivation Technique Tower, somewhat helplessly; these past few days, when he wanted to assign some tasks to these elders, he didn't even need to send a message, he just came straight to the Cultivation Technique Tower, guaranteed to find them!

Hearing Gu Kuang's anxious words, he casually reminded him.

At this moment, they shouldn't go up and disturb Gu Changge, lest he was at a critical moment of comprehension and they disrupted his insight.

"Don't remind me," Gu Kuang glanced at him, grabbed the Wine Gourd, and took a big gulp, "Drinking this stuff feels good!"

...

On the top floor of the Cultivation Technique Tower.

At this moment, Gu Changge was not contemplating the Taoist Scripture left there.

Instead, he was attempting to refine a meteorite emitting Xuanhuang Qi!

He discovered that this object was not simply a record of a cultivation technique.

It seemed more like a magic treasure!

He hadn't moved from there for several days.

"I've done it!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

His hands had finally touched the surface of the meteorite!

At the moment he touched it, the meteorite began to tremble slightly!

It seemed as if something inside was trying to emerge!

"No, the surface of this meteorite isn't a magic treasure, the treasure is inside!"

Gu Changge immediately realized and directly began to operate the Mystic Sky Technique, a cultivation technique that originated from the same source as the meteorite.

He channeled massive amounts of spiritual energy through his palms to the surface of the meteorite!

As soon as the spiritual energy touched the meteorite, it was immediately absorbed into it!

Gu Changge was even shocked to find that he couldn't stop!

His body's spiritual energy was being continuously absorbed!

"Am I in trouble!?"

He hadn't expected such a situation to occur.

But he didn't have time to think too much, he could feel that the magic treasure inside seemed to lack spirituality, and now as long as it was filled with spiritual energy, it could be summoned!

Time ticked by, second by second.

His body's spiritual energy had already been depleted by a full seventy percent!

However, the absorption rate was also gradually slowing down.

As the rate of spiritual energy consumption decreased, his body's Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus and the spiritual energy cultivated by the Little Golden Man were enough to offset the consumption.

Gu Changge finally managed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

He wouldn't be drained of spiritual energy!

This was because his situation was special; if it were someone else, even someone in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm might not be able to withstand such a consumption!

He'd be directly drained dry!

'Hum—'

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Changge felt the meteorite shaking violently!

And his hands finally regained freedom; he hurriedly withdrew them from the meteorite!

Looking at the meteorite emitting unstable Xuanhuang Qi,

Gu Changge's pupils shrank, and he muttered, "This is bad!"

Is it going to explode!?

This was the Gu Family Cultivation Technique Tower; if he allowed it to explode here, he would become a sinner for eternity!

This was the cultivation technique divine powers collected by many generations of the Gu Family!

He didn't have time to think further; instinctively, he directly lifted the huge meteorite, not knowing whether it was because it had absorbed his spiritual energy, but the Xuanhuang Qi no longer resisted him and allowed direct contact with the meteorite!

After lifting the meteorite, Gu Changge turned into a beam of light, shooting up from the top of the Cultivation Technique Tower into the sky!

This sudden movement, along with the suddenly broken top of the Cultivation Technique Tower, caused many of the Gu Family Elders and onlookers from the direct lineage to be stunned.

"It seems the Young Master has grasped the cultivation technique."

"But this is too exciting, he even flipped the roof over."

"No problem, a little repair and it will still be usable."

"That's not right, what is the Young Master carrying!?"

While the watching Deacon and Gu Family direct lineage found this scene quite amusing,

Family Head Gu Zhan couldn't help but curse:

"F*ck!"

"How did this kid carry out that extraterrestrial meteorite!?"

"No, this is not right!"

"No, this is not right!!"

Several elders immediately noticed the problem; the meteorite on the Young Master's shoulder was expanding rapidly, seeming like it was about to explode at any moment!

"Get out of the way!"

Gu Changge hadn't expected so many people to be outside the Cultivation Technique Tower, he could only shout out and directly throw the about-to-explode meteorite into the sky!

Just as he let go, he quickly rushed toward his grandfather.

'BOOM!!!'

'Boom boom—'

A loud explosion, as expected, the meteorite bursting with rich Xuanhuang Qi indeed exploded directly, and the terrifying spiritual energy sent the sharp fragments shooting in all directions like hidden weapons!

Gu Zhan and the others didn't have time to think about why the Teaching Meteorite exploded.

At the first sign of trouble, they each took action to raise a barrier, protecting the Gu Family’s Inner Court.

Gu Kuang didn’t even wait for his grandson to come to him; he had already flashed to his side and raised a hand, forming a Spirit Barrier to firmly protect his grandson.

At this moment, he was already thinking about how to speak for his grandson.

He had no idea what the boy had been up to, but somehow he managed to blow up the family’s Teaching Stone!

What a headache…

However, compared to the Teaching Stone, the grandson was more important to the Gu Family. If a Heavenly Rank Technique was gone, it was gone; once the grandson grew up, they would surely have it again!

As for Gu Zhan, who had raised the barrier over the Inner Court, he was currently staring at the destroyed Teaching Stone, his mind buzzing.

It was as if not the Teaching Stone but his own head had exploded!

“Good grief… the nephew is too fierce.”

“What kind of thrilling game was he playing?”

“How could he even blow up the Teaching Stone that recorded Heavenly Rank Techniques!?”

Gu Sanfeng stared blankly at the sky, where the countless fragments rained down on the Spirit Barrier, causing ripples like stones on a water surface, even though no casualties had occurred.

This might be a big problem.

The many Elders looked at each other lost for words, unsure what to do for a moment.

The Young Master was important, it was true, but if he made a mistake, they couldn’t just completely ignore it, could they?

At this moment, in the Gu Family’s Inner Court, whether it was the members of the Direct Lineage watching the excitement or others in their own mansions, they all looked up at the barrier overhead and at the falling debris.

They were all dumbfounded.

What was going on?

“Is it an enemy attack!?”

Some of those startled were about to leap into the air, shouting ”Enemy attack!”

“What’s happening?”

Even Wang Yue, who was in seclusion, was startled awake and hurriedly adjusted his breath.

“It’s an earthquake…” Yuan Youbai was still asleep, but he muttered in his sleep instinctively.

“…”

“Grandson, what is this…” Gu Kuang’s face twitched, struggling to ask his grandson for an explanation.

Gu Changge, however, paid no attention to these.

Instead, he was seriously looking at the site of the explosion.

Once the aftermath of the explosion had dissipated, he leaped up and left the protective barrier.

The old man followed in silence, fearing there might be further danger.

But he saw his grandson suddenly raise his hand, and a stream of Xuanhuang light came into his palm!

It was a Magic Treasure in the form of a Small Tower!

Emitting a strong Xuanhuang Qi, the nine-layered Small Tower spun continuously, each layer seeming to be independent with slightly different rotational directions.

“What is this!?”

Gu Kuang’s pupils shrank—noticing the item for the first time amidst the explosion’s residual ripples that only allowed him to feel the spread of rich Xuanhuang Qi.

But now, with the artifact in his grandson’s hand, he could clearly feel the extraordinariness of the Small Tower!

“The usage of that Teaching Stone was incorrect.”

“This is the correct way to activate it!”

Gu Changge revealed a satisfied expression, as the Xuanhuang Tower in his palm had acknowledged him as its master!

The continual absorption of his Spiritual Energy had been part of the recognition process!

At the moment he recalled the Xuanhuang Tower, a brand-new Technique formed in his mind!

The true legacy Technique!

Heavenly Rank Top Grade!

And the Xuanhuang Tower was equally extraordinary, its Grade matching that of the Technique, a Heavenly Grade Supreme Treasure!

Offense and defense, united!

It could even be used as a Space Magical Treasure, not only holding inanimate objects but even living ones!

This ability especially brightened Gu Changge’s eyes.

“What in the world happened?”

Several figures leaped into the air, coming to Gu Changge’s side.

Gu Zhan, too, looked at the Small Tower in his hand in shock and couldn’t help but ask.

He had already put aside the issue of the exploded Teaching Stone.

“This is the Magic Treasure within the Teaching Stone, the Xuanhuang Tower, a Heavenly Rank Supreme Treasure.”

“And the true legacy Technique is not a Heavenly Rank Lower Grade but rather the Heavenly Rank Top of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Technique.”

Gu Changge always kept his gaze on the Small Tower in his hand but still answered the Family Head’s question.

Hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment!

They had thought the Young Master had encountered some kind of mishap while transmitting power!

But now, it turned out that the method of transmitting power was wrong before!

Heavenly Rank Top Grade Magical Treasure…

In the entire Northern Domain, not many Heavenly Rank Lower Grade Magical Treasures could be found!

As for Techniques, there were only three major powers in the Northern Domain, each possessing only a Heavenly Rank Lower Grade Technique.

And the one advantage the Northern Domain Royal Family had was that they held a Divine Skill of the Heavenly Rank Lower Grade, something that neither the Gu Family nor the Heavenly Cold Sect had.

But now…

They suddenly learned that they had been guarding a Heavenly Rank Top Technique for many years without anyone ever discovering it!?

“This Technique…” Gu Zhan was silent for a long time, wanting to say something.

But Gu Changge had already anticipated his thoughts.

He spoke up in advance: “Once I’ve completely mastered the Technique, I will record a copy on a Jade Scroll and leave it with the family.”

“However, this Heavenly Rank Top Technique may be even more difficult to comprehend.

“When the time comes, I’ll try to divide it into four Techniques, from Heavenly Rank Lower to Heavenly Rank Top… one of each.”

Gu Changge thought about it; he should be able to do it. His Comprehension was over four hundred—there was likely no one in the world who could compare with him.

It was just a matter of splitting a Technique, similar to using the Myriad Phenomena Secret Technique to freely recombine Divine Skills.

“Can it really be done?”

Gu Zhan was stunned by the reply; he had intended for the Young Master to leave a copy of the Technique for the family’s legacy, knowing that a Heavenly Rank Top Technique would naturally have higher demands for Cultivators.

But he had not anticipated that he would talk about splitting it into four Techniques?

From Heavenly Rank Lower to Heavenly Rank Top, one of each?

Were these feats achievable by mortals?

Perhaps only an Immortal could accomplish them!

“It shouldn’t be difficult.”

Gu Changge nodded seriously in affirmation.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They were not silent because they doubted, but because they believed that was why they were rendered silent.

They suddenly realized the Young Master was already beyond mortal measure.

A Teaching Stone that had been passed down for thousands of years had its true potential revealed in his hands, and now he was about to split it into four Techniques…

Such a task was not within human capabilities, but the Young Master could do it!
