Chapter 260: Chapter 229: Virtualization Skill_i

The Law Transmission Pavilion, treasuring most Martial Arts Manuals ranging from the Qi-cultivation stage to the Nascent Soul stage of the Fairy Moon Palace, is where the roots of the entire sect lie. Its importance goes without saying.

Three formations for protection are deployed on the perimeter: Two are tier nine and one is tier ten. These three rings of formations are interlocked. If fully activated, even a novice in the Nascent Soul stage wouldn’t be able to break through in a short period of time.

After passing several rounds of inspections, Xu Mu finally entered the interior of the Law Transmission Pavilion.

Looking around, rows upon rows of bookshelves are nearly endless in sight. Every bookshelf is full and overflowing with innumerable books.

For a moment, it feels as if you have stepped into an ocean of books.

“This is really spectacular!”

Xu Mu sighed in admiration.

The books on this floor are all of tier one. They contain not only Martial Methods and skills, but also Pills, Formations, Talismans, Alchemy and others. Apart from these, there are a considerable amount of other books, for example, history, culture, arts, autographies and more. These are probably provided to broaden the disciples’ horizons.

All the books on this floor are free. Even newly enrolled disciples can peruse them at will.

Xu Mu briefly skimmed through a few books and surprisingly found several skills he had never heard of before. In his heart, he once again admired the profound strength of the Fairy Moon Palace.

Unfortunately, with his current realm of cultivation, these tier one skills, no matter how exquisite and interesting, had no use for him.

There were few people on this floor. Most people would directly ascend to the second floor after entering. Even those few who stayed on the first floor were in the miscellaneous book area, probably searching for certain information.

Xu Mu put down the books in his hand and followed the disciples who entered before him to the upper floor.

The disciples who noticed the sign of the Inner Circle Elder embroidered on his robes would take the initiative to greet or make way for him.

Upon reaching the second floor smoothly, he first glanced around.

The second floor still housed tier-one secret martial arts manuscripts, much like mundane miscellaneous books. The only difference was that here, the forms used to record information were jade slips and a variety of special materials. Gold, silver, copper, iron, stone, wood, and animal skins were all present.

If one wanted to peruse the content here, one would have to pay Sect Contribution Points.

However, the prices were not high. Generally, one could exchange a Martial Method or a skill for ten to twenty Sect Contribution Points.

These jade slips were heritage slips that could be used multiple times.

“It’s worthy of being a major sect!”

Although these were only the lowest-level tier-one skill jade slips, there were at least tens of thousands of them here. If they were sold, they could easily bring in several thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

The value of jade slips was one hundred times that of ordinary books, and the heritage jade slips were one hundred times the value of ordinary jade slips.

Only a big sect like the Fairy Moon Palace could afford to record tier-one skills with heritage jade slips.

Xu Mu didn’t waste his contribution points on these tier-one secret martial arts manuscripts and skills. After glancing over them, he continued to ascend to the next floor.

The third floor housed tier-two books; the fourth floor housed tier-two jade slips. The situation on the following floors was pretty much the same: one floor contained books and the other jade slips.

Xu Mu finally stopped on the thirteenth floor, which recorded tier-seven martial arts secrets.

This floor was compact, only three hundred steps across. All the secret manuals were shielded by formations on individual jade bookshelves. An identification waist card could open some of the formations and view introductions about the manuals.

If one decided to exchange, they could just open the remaining formations.

Xu Mu didn’t rush to pick suitable skills, but instead started at the entrance and examined each and every bookshelf.

Although he couldn’t see the specific details of cultivation, just looking at the introductions could improve his experience significantly.

If he encountered cultivators of these methods or skills, he could obtain an inherent advantage.

As the saying goes, to know oneself and the enemy is the key to winning every battle.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Mu stayed on this floor for a full day and night. He looked through all the martial arts manuals, various divine skills, and even information about pills and magical treasures. It could be said that his knowledge was greatly enriched.

Meanwhile, he also found a very suitable skill.

The Virtualization Skill!

It s a tier-seven skill, which enables the body to virtualize, transforming from solid to gas!

When he first saw this skill, Xu Mu was quite astonished.

Transforming from matter to gas, wouldn’t that be invincible? freēwēbηovel.c૦m

After all, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, it’s impossible to destroy a stretch of gas. The most they can do is disperse it.

However, after calming down, he quickly realized that such a powerful tier seven skill couldn’t possibly exist.

Upon research, just as he thought, this skill was indeed mighty but came with its own constraints.

The first one, in the state of dematerialization, it was impossible to operate spiritual power or use any spells or treasures.

The second, once the skill was used, only the body and the lifebound treasures would dematerialize. Items like storage bags, robes, shoes, spirit stones, etc., couldn’t be carried with.

The third, it couldn’t withstand massive attacks. If the body got too dispersed, instant death was inevitable!

The fourth, in extreme environments, the consumption of spiritual energy would dramatically increase during dematerialization.

The fifth, the cultivation process was extremely hazardous and might pose a danger to life.

For ordinary cultivators practicing this skill, they could accept the first four restrictions. It was the fifth one that made them hesitate.

However, for Xu Mu, the most challenging fifth condition wasn’t a concern for him at all.

After all, he had a system that could directly add points, eliminating the issue of cultivation errors.

What mattered most to him were the first four conditions!

Restricted by these four conditions, the effectiveness of this skill was greatly reduced.

Regardless, for Xu Mu, it remained a formidable spell that could be used for multiple purposes ranging from hiding, ambushing, infiltration, evasion, and more.

After all, one couldn’t expect too much from a tier seven skill.

Aside from this Virtualization Skill, Xu Mu also chose a tier seven Body Refinement Skill called the “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill”.

The original Xu Mu, eager to develop his clan and increase his Luck Value accumulation speed, wasn’t in a rush to cultivate resource-intensive skills like Body Refinement Skill.

On the other hand, he didn’t fancy ordinary tier seven or eight Body Refinement Skills and wanted to go directly to the tier nine Body Refinement Skill for a one-step solution.

It would save both resources and the Luck Value.

But times have changed.

On the one hand, he needed to increase his strength to ensure his self-preservation.

On the other hand, he needed to rely on Body Refinement Skill to extend his lifespan, ensuring that he was always prepared.

A lifespan of just over 130 years made him uneasy.

He always had a feeling that he might die at any moment.

Apart from this, there was another very important reason.

Namely, this “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill” could help him break through the minor realms of the Golden Core Stage.

He was originally cultivating the “Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body”, a thunder attribute martial method, and should logically continue cultivating the thunder attribute martial method.

Although thunder attribute martial methods were rare, the Fairy Moon Palace did possess them. He had just seen a thunder attribute body refining martial method called “Divine Thunder Shining Body Skill”.

The reason was simple. His lifespan was limited, and he had to break through as soon as possible.

Under such circumstances, things like power and potential had to be temporarily put aside until his lifespan was restored, at which point he could find ways to compensate.

Each stage of the Golden Core Stage required re-refining the golden pill with

True Flame. Cultivating to Perfection through precisely nine stages was, therefore, known as the Nine Turns Golden Pill.

Once he had cultivated the “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill”, each time he broke through a stage and refined his golden pill with True Flame, it would be much easier for him.

After choosing, he didn’t leave but continued up to the fourteenth floor to see if there were jade slips with the inheritance of the “Great Sun Refining Shape Skill” and “Virtualization Skill”.

If he could learn through jade slips, he could save a considerable amount of Luck Value.

Ever since White River City was destroyed, his daily acquisition of Luck Value had significantly decreased, so saving wherever possible was necessary.

To his surprise, as soon as he stepped onto the fourteenth floor, someone stopped him.
