Mana and Divine Thought surged forth, and Gu Yuan effortlessly removed the residual mark on the storage bag.

Then, with a thought, his Divine Sense immediately flowed into it.

Surprisingly, the storage bag contained few treasures or Spirit Stones; in the vast space, only a large number of Jade Scrolls, four jade boxes, and a plaque of unknown material were neatly stacked, with three large, forceful characters engraved on it.

"Mountain-moving Sect!"

The writing was heavy, as if it weighed thousands of pounds, and the entire plaque exuded an indescribable spiritual light.

"Mountain-moving Sect? Is this the sect’s plaque? Could it be that this sect has been exterminated? Is Dan Shanhe the sole survivor of this sect?"

Upon seeing this plaque, Gu Yuan immediately thought of many possibilities.

However, the Western Sea Realm and the Ten Thousand Islands Sea are very close to the Western Sea, which is under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Court, and the Celestial Palace’s control over this area is rather weak, with various disputes being quite common.

Needless to say, with the True Dragon’s fall in recent years, the situation has become even more complex, and Gu Yuan found it hard to unravel the various connections between the sects here.

However, he did not care about it; what does a destroyed sect have to do with him?

It even spared him from the hassle of "beating the young, then facing the old" scenario, making him quite pleased.

Shifting his consciousness away from the plaque, Gu Yuan with a thought retrieved the four jade boxes.

"Swish! Swish!"

From the four jade boxes, dazzling spiritual light immediately burst forth.

Inside the jade boxes, dozens of fish-sized yellow jade stones were neatly placed. These jade stones were crystal clear, with strange mist swirling within them, and upon closer inspection, Gu Yuan found that these mists took on the form of mountains, exuding an impressive aura.

"Such a profound power of the mountains..."

Gu Yuan didn’t recognize these jade stones, but he could feel the strong mountain spiritual aura emanating from them.

He weighed them in his hand; although each jade stone was only the size of a small fish, it weighed tens of thousands of pounds, and without mana, he couldn’t even lift it.

"At the very least, these are Tier Two ores..."

After observing the jade stones, determining he couldn’t identify them, Gu Yuan stored them away again and started examining the pile of Jade Scrolls.

The other Jade Scrolls were all pure white, except for the topmost one, which was a reddish-yellow color made of unknown spiritual materials, exuding an aura of heaviness and barbaric wilderness.

Curious, Gu Yuan immediately picked up this Jade Scroll.

"Boom!"

Instantly, golden light spread, a shock reverberated beside Gu Yuan’s ear, and his consciousness seemed to arrive in an unknown place, where he saw an unusual scene.

On an ancient and desolate land, demon beasts gathered like clouds, and fierce beasts roamed in groups, with the heaven and earth appearing gray and murky.

Within this vast and desolate world, an old man appeared.

The old man was of short stature, no more than six feet tall, but behind him stood a towering spiritual entity, formed by condensed mana, like a giant spirit, standing tall like a pillar supporting the sky.

"Boom!"

Moreover, on the shoulder of that huge spirit, it carried a mountain of unknown height and weight.

The mountain reached into the clouds, seemingly without limit, yet it was firmly borne by the Giant Spirit.

As the desolate and primitive aura of moving mountains and holding the moon washed over him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart.

But fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, and in just an instant, Gu Yuan’s heart returned to calm.

Meanwhile, a complex, enigmatic Technique flowed through his mind.

This Technique was extremely mysterious, carrying an aura of the barbaric, as if it came from ancient times, obscure and extremely convoluted, causing Gu Yuan to furrow his brows.

"Buzz!"

But at this moment, the Three-Heart Gold Seal in Gu Yuan’s Dantian shone brightly, with strands of cool aura flowing into his mind.

Gu Yuan instantly felt clarity, his mind at ease, the obscure words transformed into trickling streams, slowly absorbed by him.

The mana within his body moved on its own, following a peculiar trajectory.

This trajectory did not surpass the boundaries of the Three Dharma Celestial Human Diagram, it merely consolidated in a subtle manner.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, a cultivator’s mana transforms from the gaseous state of the Qi Refining Stage into a liquid state. Gu Yuan, who cultivated in three methods, had mana three times that of cultivators at the same stage, resembling a vast lake within his Dantian, in constant surge.

But now, under the operation of this unknown Technique, Gu Yuan’s mana became increasingly heavy, two drops merging into one, seemingly reducing the mana in his Dantian by half.

Yet his entire aura grew increasingly heavy, seemingly eluding an aura of depth and stability in a trance.

After a long while, once all the mana had fully consolidated, Gu Yuan finally opened his eyes, filled with delighted surprise.

"Mountain Moving Map!"

"What a mysterious Dharma Gate, it actually follows the ’Magic Power Dao’, truly unheard of!"

With the help of the Three-Heart Gold Seal, Gu Yuan directly comprehended this diagram, learning the mysterious techniques contained within, and learned of its origin.

In this world of cultivation, a cultivator’s mana cannot achieve unity with the heavens; to perform various profound techniques, summon the wind and rain, or control thunder, one must refine Dharma Seals and harness Dao Patterns to manipulate Heaven-Earth Rules.

However, there exists a type of cultivator who carves out a unique path.

While a cultivator’s mana cannot unify with the heavens or control the Heaven-Earth Rules, it is not an entirely useless thing, capable of myriad transformations, and possessing tremendous force.

The stronger one’s cultivation, the more abundant the mana, even lifting mountains and severing great rivers with sheer mana becomes possible.

And the Mountain Moving Map is precisely a True Map that focuses solely on refining mana!

This map continuously condenses a cultivator’s mana, endowing it with unimaginable heft; a single mana can become as hard as Tier Two Secret Gold, indestructible.

The key is, the more mana is compressed and condensed, the more vast the Qi Power it contains, ultimately, even a single mana can possess a million pounds of force, capable of shattering mountains and cliffs, unrivaled in might.

Even power cultivators cannot withstand it.

However, a doubt arose within Gu Yuan’s heart.

"This Mountain Moving Map seems disproportionate in effort to reward, achieving little for much effort?"

With the comprehension ability of his Three-Heart Gold Seal, even upon understanding this map, he only managed to compress his mana once, doubling his Qi Power and solidity.

For him, condensed mana makes Sword Qi even sharper, enhancing other techniques, greatly increasing strength. But that’s because he cultivates Sword Seals and various Dharma Seals.

If a cultivator of the ’Magic Power Dao’ only cultivated mana without cultivating Sword Seals, what benefit is this mere doubling of mana condensation?

To achieve the kind of moving mountain and holding the moon state depicted in the Mountain Moving Map, at least thousands to tens of thousands of times of condensation would be needed.

Even if not moving mountains and holding moons, just in Foundation Establishment Stage combat, several tens to hundreds of times of condensation are needed, consolidating all mana into pea-sized mana golden pearls.

Only then can a single mana be as hard as a flying sword, heavier than ten thousand catties, comparable to a spiritual artifact, capable of killing with mana.

If capable of condensing dozens of mana golden pearls, they would be equivalent to dozens of spiritual artifacts, with vast power.

But such a measly double increase is merely a drop in the bucket.

With questions in mind, Gu Yuan immediately picked up the next Jade Scroll and began to peruse it.

After a long time, a look of realization appeared in his eyes.
