Chapter 457 -456 “Eternity Technique”_1

The Scripture Pavilion was where Lu Yang spent the most of his time, apart from the Sky Gate Mountain.

Most people’s techniques and methods were passed down from their ancestors, but Lu Yang created his own.

To develop his technique, he resided in the Scripture Pavilion, studied various books, incorporated the strengths of various schools of thought, and finally wrote the shocking and unconventional technique — “Mind Seeing Method”.

In the process of studying, he vaguely remembered a magic skill related to longevity.

At that time, he did not pay much attention, only glanced through it briefly.

He was then in the Golden Core Stage, full of energy, robust in Qi and Blood, so the issue of lifespan was still a long way off.

“Fairy, do you have a technique or method for longevity? As an Immortal, even if you do not practice it, you should know a few techniques and methods for longevity, right?”

Fairy Eternity made a sound of “um” in her throat, thinking seriously.

“I don’t have any for longevity, but I do know some magic skills for boosting battle strength by burning lifespan. I used them several times before achieving immortality.”

Lu Yang surmised that the situations in which Fairy Eternity had to resort to burning her lifespan must have been extremely critical. Seeing that she seemed indifferent about it, he chose not to pry further into what happened then.

“What about after becoming immortal?”

“After becoming immortal, there is no need, because, think about it, a Semi-Immortal definitely cannot win against an Immortal. The only rivals of an Immortal are other Immortals. And since Immortals have infinite lifespans, it makes no difference whether they burn their lifespan or not during a fight.”

Upon reflection, Lu Yang found this to be true.

The primary measures in an Immortal’s fight should be their Dao Fruits.

“Although burning lifespan is useless, self-destruction is quite powerful.”

Fairy Eternity chuckled, stating that when an Immortal self-destructs, the power would be strong enough to sweep across an entire galaxy or even further, which indicated how terrifying it was.

And her Dao Fruit was most suitable for self-destruction.

If the Yingtian Immortals self-destructed once, that was it for them. But she was different. She could revive immediately after self-destruction and continue to self-destruct without even catching her breath. Unless someone yelled “stop,” she would not desist.

Lu Yang looked at Fairy Eternity with a strange expression. This was the first time he had heard of consecutive self-destruction.

The Eternity Dao Fruit was indeed terrifying. If it were used in this way, who wouldn’t be afraid?

Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity arrived at the Scripture Pavilion. The caretaker for the day was Senior Sister Zhou LuLu.

The scene where Senior Sister Zhou was reading with her long, black hair falling down, accentuating her beautiful face, was like a picturesque scene, giving off a sense of a peaceful time.

If Fairy Eternity could learn a bit of Zhou LuLu’s demeanor, it would significantly enhance her standing in Lu Yang’s heart.

“Senior Sister Zhou, long time no see,” greeted Lu Yang with a smile. When he first joined the Seek Dao Sect, Zhou had helped him a lot.

When he first joined the sect, he was knocked out by the smell of elixirs used by a senior brother, and then Senior Sister gave him a hot-water bath and made him carry water and pinch tofu all day long to hone his techniques.

Compared to that, Zhou’s advice on which books to read for a quick grasp of the basics, which books were essential for traveling outside, and that the weapons in the cafeteria were cheaper than those in the Task Hall seemed particularly precious.

Zhou LuLu, deeply engrossed in her book, was startled by Lu Yang’s greeting. She instinctively used the book to cover half of her face, averting her gaze.

“Oh, it’s Junior Brother Lu.”

Watching Zhou, Lu Yang felt a bit helpless, fearing that his voice might frighten her.

Sister Zhou is the daughter of Fifth Elder Zhou Xin, whose cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul Stage, extraordinarily strong. During the exchange with the Five Elements Sect, she was the main force at the Nascent Soul Stage. The cultivators from Five Elements Sect were beaten miserably.

If he were to fight Zhou, he would be the one getting beaten. It’s just that Zhou is too timid and afraid to speak.

Considering her personality, using the Invincible Elixir might not be ineffective in defeating Zhou.

Lu Yang noticed that Zhou was reading a book called “108 Hammer Techniques”, which seemed incompatible with her image but perfectly suited her status.

“Are you here to study in the Scripture Pavilion?” Zhou mustered the courage to ask, looking for ways to assist him.

“I’m looking for a magic skill, something related to prolonging lifespan.” Lu Yang did not elaborate further, aware that the issue of Emperor Xia’s lifespan could have far-reaching implications and the fewer people knew about it, the better.

“A skill for extending lifespan … let me think, is it the ‘Evergreen Technique’, which allows one to transform into a tree, root in the earth, and watch the world change?”

“Or is it the ‘Turtle Longevity Method’, which by imitating the behavior of turtles, extends one’s lifespan?”

“Neither of those,” Lu Yang found these unfamiliar and not matching the skill from his memory.

“Then I have no clue.” Zhou LuLu shook her head lightly. She had also not read all the books in the Scripture Pavilion.

There were vast volumes of books in the Scripture Pavilion, and it was likely that only Elder Tao, who had retired, had read them all.

Lu Yang thanked Zhou before heading deeper into the Scripture Pavilion.

Zhou LuLu kept her eyes on Lu Yang’s retreating back. Seeing that he didn’t look back, she finally gained the courage to continue reading, quickly losing herself in her world.

Many senior brothers and sisters chose to study in the Scripture Pavilion, researching techniques and methods, and adapting them to better suit their styles.

However, some were stubborn and insisted on learning techniques unsuitable for them.

Lu Yang heard about a fellow brother who loved money and borrowed a book called “Alchemy” from the Scripture Pavilion years ago.

That fellow brother was a hard worker and studied diligently. He poked at stones every day, meditated, nourished his body and mind, learned principles of magic skills, sought advice widely, and never slacked off.

Eventually, after seasons rotated, due to his relentless efforts, he mastered ‘One-Finger Zen’.

Once completed, one finger could break a mountain, shatter the earth, and if pointed at a person, would leave a bloody hole. It was terrifying and could be used as an ultimate card in battle.

No wonder that brother couldn’t learn Alchemy. The principle of Alchemy involves the disassembly and reorganization of internal material structure. It is extremely difficult and not something ordinary people could master.

Even if they couldn’t learn it, there were other ways. A senior sister once showed the feat of squeezing a stone into a diamond. There were no fluctuations of magic power; it was all due to her immense gripping strength. This was widely discussed with interest in the Seek Dao Sect.

Passing the studying senior brothers and sisters, Lu Yang went to a corner of the Scripture Pavilion as per his memory and began to search for a book.

The books were covered with a layer of dust, indicating that they hadn’t been cleaned for a long time.

The Scripture Pavilion was too large, and there were too many books. Some books remained forgotten, which was normal.

For example, Lu Yang found the banned book “Dragon and Phoenix Changes” when he visited the Scripture Pavilion for the first time.

“I remember it was here.”

“Found it!”

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up as he pulled up a book from a crevice. The title of the book was simple and majestic.

“Eternity Technique.”

“I knew I didn’t remember it wrong.” Lu Yang was somewhat excited. The Scripture Pavilion was indeed an excellent treasure trove, even containing the legendary skill.

“There’s actually such a technique?” Fairy Eternity exclaimed with awe. This was indeed a valuable item.

Although she couldn’t use it, Lu Yang would need it in the future.
