Chapter 579: Chapter 400: Selling Devouring Heaven Fruit!_1

“Thank you!”

Xuanqing cupped his hands together, expressed his gratitude, and then stepped into the Scripture Pavilion.

…

Though it was called a ‘pavilion’,

it actually had little to do with an ‘attic’.

The moment he stepped inside, the view that met his eyes suddenly opened up; this so-called Scripture Pavilion was actually composed of an entire Great Thousand Worlds.

The scenes within this Great Thousand Worlds greatly astonished him.

“So… Cultivation Techniques actually look like this!”

Xuanqing’s eyes widened as he felt he’d gained new insight.

In the eyes of most, no matter how advanced a cultivation technique was, it would still resemble a book, or at most, something like a jade slip.

But in the Ancient God Clan’s Scripture Pavilion, the form of the cultivation techniques stored within was entirely different.

The images before his eyes…

were numerous ‘Formations’ each occupying an incredibly vast area, and within each formation, an Illusory Shadow sat cross-legged.

“They’re not books or jade slips. The Ancient God Clan’s Cultivation Techniques are actually incarnations left behind by powerhouses!”

Xuanqing murmured softly to himself.

What’s more…

These incarnations, which were only used to pass on the cultivation techniques, each gave him a feeling of ‘threat’.

Meaning… with his current strength, he was probably still no match for these incarnations that existed just to pass on cultivation techniques.

“Taiji Divine Might Technique… Price: Five hundred Contribution Points or 5000 Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?”

Xuanqing’s gaze turned to a Formation close to him.

At its entrance stood a stone stele, which had some simple introductions to the technique and the required Contribution Points listed on it.

He had originally thought that coming to the Scripture Pavilion and revealing his identity would suffice to borrow the “Pantheon’s Nine Transformations” left by Pangu.

Yet he hadn’t expected the techniques here to be in such a form and that one would need Contribution Points to learn them…

He was aware of this.

Any member of the Ancient God Clan could go to the ‘Task Hall’, take on tasks, and earn Contribution Points upon completion.

“Five hundred Contribution Points, or five thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?”

“Calculating this way, does one Contribution Point equate to ten Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones?”

Xuanqing pondered inwardly.

If he did another conversion, according to the prices of Chaos Crystal Stones in the Game Mall, did the cost of this “Taiji Divine Might Technique” require him to slay five thousand Chaos Immortals?

After being tempered by the Thunder Tribulation of Law, his current strength allowed him to easily defeat those Demon Gods without resorting to self-destruction tactics.

“With my current strength, if I were to encounter those Demon Gods outside the Primordial World again, it would be a slaughter as easy as butchering chickens,” thought Xuanqing to himself.

Then…

He furrowed his brows as he pondered another issue.

It was no longer a matter of whether he was strong enough, the key was where could he find such an abundance of Demon Gods for him to slay?

However…

His goal for visiting the Scripture Pavilion was not the “Taiji Divine Might Technique”, but the “Pantheon’s Nine Transformations” left by Pangu.

First, he needed to locate the “Pantheon’s Nine Transformations”. What if Pantheon’s Nine Transformations wasn’t as expensive?

Therefore… bypassing the Formation of the Taiji Divine Might Technique, he continued to delve deeper inside.

…

Following what Pangu had previously told him in the Primordial World, he kept searching towards the East…

He did not know how long he walked.

Finally…

A Formation, equally vast, appeared before him.

At the entrance of the Formation, there was a stone stele with the inscription:

“Pantheon’s Nine Transformations, each transformation as grand as heaven, create worlds with Divine Power, nourish from the worlds and complete the Nine Transformations!”

“Price: 2000 Contribution Points or 20000 Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones… Four times more expensive than the previous ‘Taiji Divine Might Technique’!”

Xuanqing silently pondered.

However…

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and good things don’t come cheap. The hefty fee signified that Pangu’s technique had its extraordinary aspects.

“Two thousand Contribution Points, or twenty thousand Lower Grade Chaos Crystal Stones, it seems… I need to earn some cultivation resources first!”

Xuanqing murmured lightly to himself.

Speaking of which…

Ever since he established the Taiji Hall in the Real World and the Taichu Dojo in the Primordial World, he had never worried about cultivation resources.

“First, I’ll go to the Ancient Wilderness City to see if I can sell some items to gather these twenty thousand crystals.”

“If that doesn’t work out, then I’ll have to take on tasks,” Xuanqing deliberated.

For him, selling items would definitely be a quicker route than taking on tasks from the Task Hall.

After another glance at the Formation housing the “Pantheon’s Nine Transformations,”

Xuanqing headed towards the exit.

…

Just as he was about to reach the door,

suddenly!

A unique bookshelf appeared before him. Unlike the other Formation demonstrations of cultivation techniques, this shelf was lined with hundreds of densely packed… cuboid-shaped jade slips!

Marked on the shelf were two large characters… Free!!

“Free!”

Xuanqing’s eyes lit up.

Well, well.

It turned out that the Scripture Pavilion also had things that were free of charge. Since it didn’t cost anything, would it not be a loss not to take a look?

So…

He stepped up to the front of the shelf and his gaze shifted towards the jade slips on it.

He saw that each cuboid jade slip was marked, for instance: ‘Northern Galaxy Domain Map,’ ‘North Region Oddities Chronicle,’ ‘Basic Knowledge Detailed Explanation,’ ‘North Region Treasure Catalog’… and so on.

“No wonder they’re free, they all turn out to be experienced knowledge!”

Xuanqing suddenly realized.

Compared to those other techniques that required the construction of a Formation and the creation of an Incarnation to be passed down,

these on the shelf were called ‘lifestyle experience,’ carrying little energy, thus they were simple to create by directly copying the information into the jade slips.
