Chapter 557: Chapter 305 “White Jade Ascension Immortal Manual” and “Union of Immortal Techniques” (Subscription Request)_2

Hearing these words, Octavius Yarrow’s heart finally felt a huge weight lifted.

A Great Cultivator at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm wouldn’t deceive him a second time.

Perhaps in the Cultivation Realm, there truly were such pure-hearted individuals. It was just that he had never encountered one before.

“May I ask, if you obtain this Cultivation Method, may I continue to practice it?”

Octavius Yarrow asked again.

At this moment, he had already decided to make the exchange.

Even if later he had to give up this Cultivation Method, he would feel some disappointment but would no longer have any other emotions about it.

After all, with these cultivation resources, he could always practice another Cultivation Method and gradually improve.

In the end, a Cultivation Method is just that, a Cultivation Method.

A Cultivation Method merely determines a cultivator’s limit.

Even if he possessed a method that could cultivate to the level of a True Immortal, what then?

Does having a method to cultivate to True Immortality guarantee that one will become a True Immortal? That’s impossible.

The true determinants of a cultivator’s power are talent, chance, and resources.

To aim to practice to a profound realm with only a Cultivation Method is undoubtedly the fantasy of a fool.

“You can continue to practice it, but you must be discreet within the Sect,”

“If other cultivators discover that your Cultivation Method does not belong to the Immortal Sect, you can tell them it was taught to you by me,”

Milton Cheney spoke.

This was the result of his careful deliberation.

Although this also carried risks, it was nothing compared to what he was worried about.

Hearing this from Milton Cheney, Octavius Yarrow felt completely relaxed.

If this were true, then not only had he earned a great deal, but it was an immense profit.

Because not only had he retained the Cultivation Method, but he’d also acquired cultivation resources sufficient to advance to the Golden Core Realm.

He had even gained a sliver of protection from the only Golden Core Great Cultivator within the Sect.

Although he would not actively reveal this backer,

having such a supporter within the Sect would undoubtedly make cultivation much easier.

“Did I once again turn peril into safety? And even acquired such a vast amount of cultivation resources?”

Octavius Yarrow mused to himself.

In truth, from his birth until now, he was very aware that his luck was exceptional.

Almost every time, he could turn disaster into safety, and since childhood, he had encountered many fortunes.

After all, he wasn’t a fool.

Even a fool could sense that something was amiss.

His ability to participate in the Ascending Immortal Meeting this time was actually also due to luck.

Otherwise, how could someone from a minor family have the qualifications to take part in such a grand event?

It should be noted that disciples recruited during the Ascending Immortal Meeting receive certain privileges within the Sect.

However, even with his previous good fortune, he had never reaped as vast a reward as he did this time.

If Milton Cheney could hear Octavius Yarrow’s thoughts at this moment, he would undoubtedly affirm the decision he’d made.

Because what he thought was completely correct: this Octavius Yarrow was indeed a person favored by destiny.

Which is to say, anyone associated with this Octavius Yarrow would also be favored by destiny.

However, at the moment, Milton Cheney was unaware of this; he was merely speculating.

“I’ll engrave this Cultivation Method for you right away,”

Octavius Yarrow said, immediately trusting Milton Cheney.

As soon as these words were spoken, he took out an unmarked Jade Tube from his Spatial Ring.

The next moment, Octavius Yarrow pressed the blank Jade Tube against his forehead.

Time slowly passed by, and a moment later, a somewhat weakened Octavius Yarrow handed the now engraved Jade Tube to Milton Cheney.

The instant he took the Jade Tube, Milton Cheney’s spiritual power subtly stirred.

A strange memory appeared in his mind.

At the same time, the Jade Tube in his hand began to show cracks.

[White Jade Ascension Immortal Manual]

A Cultivation Method that could support his practice to the Unification Stage Monarch.

A complete Unification Immortal Technique.

Having been reincarnated in this world for so many years, Milton Cheney was quite clear about the world’s Realm system.

He knew very well that the Unification Realm was a higher level beyond the Deity Transformation stage.

This Cultivation Method was even more powerful than Milton Cheney had anticipated.

In the Cultivation Realm, the division of Realms was no secret.

Energy Cultivation Cultivator, Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Golden Core True Immortal, Nascent Soul True Monarch, Deity Transformation God Monarch, Unification Dao Monarch, Tribulation Crossing Loose Immortal, Ascended True Immortal.

Seven Great Realms, thirty-three Small Realms.

Milton Cheney was well aware of these.

So in this trade, Octavius Yarrow gained, but Milton Cheney also made a profit.

After handing over the Jade Tube to Milton Cheney, Octavius Yarrow started to breathe heavily.

Although he tried to conceal it, Milton Cheney could still see the worry deep in Octavius’s eyes.

By then, Milton Cheney had already obtained the Jade Tube.

He hadn’t made a great dao oath, so he could completely break the agreement.

He could completely kill Octavius Yarrow and then take back the Spatial Ring.

In doing so, he would be able to get his hands on a Cultivation Method without having to give up anything.

Did Octavius Yarrow know this? He must have.

All of his actions were essentially a gamble.

He was betting that Milton Cheney really was as disinterested in seizing others’ opportunities as he said.

He was betting that Milton Cheney wouldn’t attack him after obtaining the Cultivation Method.

If he bet correctly, Octavius Yarrow would gain massively, but if he was wrong, he would die and his path would be extinguished.

He didn’t want to bet, but he had no other choice.

Milton Cheney naturally understood what Octavius Yarrow was thinking at that moment.

Although Milton Cheney wasn’t necessarily a good person, since he had already agreed to Octavius Yarrow, he wouldn’t do what he shouldn’t.

Moreover, he didn’t really care about these cultivation resources anyway.

At that moment, everything just happened to work out.

Their transaction was clear, and even if karma was involved, it was the minimal amount.

“Don’t worry, kid, I won’t go back on my word.”

“From now on, just focus on your cultivation in the Outer Sect, and remember to keep seven parts hidden and show only three, never too revealing and sharp.”

“Keep in mind that the tallest tree in the forest is often destroyed by the wind, and there’s always someone better out there, a sky beyond our sky.”

Milton Cheney spoke.

It was his advice to the youngster in front of him.

Once he had finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Watching the spot where Milton Cheney vanished, Octavius Yarrow still found it hard to believe.

This Golden Core True Immortal just left like that? He really left behind so many cultivation resources for him?

To this moment, Octavius still felt a sense of unreality.

After all, the moment he handed over the Immortal Technique, he had entirely lost control of the situation.

Even though he never had control from the beginning.

But after giving away the Immortal Technique, he really had nothing left.

Because at that time, he hadn’t joined a sect, nor had he made a great dao oath.

If that Golden Core True Immortal had chosen to attack just now, erasing him would have been as easy as erasing an ant, without even the need to pay any price.

Would the Purple Melody True Sect offend a Nascent Soul candidate for him, a disciple who had not even been initiated?

It seemed highly unlikely.

So just now, for a moment, he even thought he was already dead.

Because Octavius had been betting, the Cultivation Method inscribed in the Jade Tube was flawless.

He couldn’t have tampered with the Cultivation Method even if he wanted to.

A Qi Cultivation Period cultivator altering a Unification Immortal Technique was impossible.

He wasn’t a reincarnated individual like Milton Cheney, nor was he reborn; naturally, it was impossible for him to do such things.

Leaving a trap in a Unification Immortal Technique—even Milton Cheney couldn’t achieve that, much less Octavius Yarrow.

So he didn’t try to be clever since a Golden Core True Immortal’s vision was far beyond his own.

And it was a blessing he hadn’t tried such a ploy.

After all, Milton Cheney had never been a particularly good person from the beginning.

If he had tried such a thing, the only outcome for him would have been death.

“This True Immortal is really…”

By now, Octavius Yarrow had completely relaxed and let out a wry smile in his heart.

He had never encountered such a Cultivator before.

He thought for sure he was doomed to die this time.

Who would have thought that not only did he not die, but he even received an astonishing amount of cultivation resources—and even retained the Cultivation Method.

So at this moment, he felt no resentment toward Milton Cheney. Instead, he felt immense gratitude and admiration.

After all, with these cultivation resources, he could save at least a hundred years of effort.
