The Secret of the Little Golden Statue

Ye Bai had a strong intuition that the existence capable of deducing cultivation techniques was truly remarkable.

If this were to be leaked, it would surely captivate anyone’s interest. In the presence of true cultivation experts, he was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

A mere flick of their finger could destroy all his efforts.

“Junior Brother, we can only stay here for three hours. After three hours, we must leave,” Su Xue whispered, outlining several rules.

Essentially, these rules revolved around not damaging anything inside, avoiding forbidden areas, and not exceeding the allotted time.

Curiously, Ye Bai surveyed the small rooms on both sides of the passage, asking, “Eldest Senior Sister, what are these rooms for?”

“You’re referring to the cultivation chambers. These stone caves are shared spaces. The deeper you go, the denser the spiritual energy becomes. However, our current strength is still low, so we can only access the outermost chambers. The innermost ones belong to the elders,” Su Xue explained.

“I see.”

Ye Bai nodded slightly, a hint of curiosity gleaming in his eyes. At that moment, Su Xue pointed to one of the cultivation chambers and said, “This is the one I often use. Currently, only the two of us disciples can enter here.”

“Eldest Senior Sister, since that’s the case, let’s make good use of our time and start quickly,” Ye Bai urged eagerly. Although he felt a slightly denser spiritual energy upon entering the passage, he considered it only a marginal improvement compared to the outside world.

If the spiritual energy density of Floating Cloud Mountain was only this much, it would be quite disappointing.

Su Xue nodded, taking out a token from her hand. She then pressed it against the door of the cultivation chamber. Suddenly, the stone door opened, revealing the space inside.

The cultivation chamber wasn’t particularly spacious, accommodating only two or three people at most.

However, as soon as Ye Bai stepped inside, he took a deep breath, and his complexion became noticeably better.

“Eldest Senior Sister, this place...”

Ye Bai’s eyes revealed a trace of astonishment.

After cultivating the semi-saint cultivation technique, he had become extremely sensitive to the density of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in Su Xue’s cultivation chamber was at least ten times denser than outside!

It was terrifying.

He was certain that if he were to cultivate here, within a day, his cultivation would reach a terrifying level.

Su Xue blinked, teasingly saying, “What do you think? Are you shocked? When I first came here, I was just like you. And this is only an outer chamber. The deeper you go, the density of spiritual energy doubles.”

“Eldest Senior Sister, if the spiritual energy was already this terrifying before the blessed land encountered any issues, wouldn’t it be even more frightening?” Ye Bai quickly recalled another piece of information Su Xue had mentioned earlier.

Hearing this, Su Xue nodded and said, “Indeed, before the blessed land encountered any issues, the density of spiritual energy in my cultivation chamber was approximately twenty times higher than outside.”

Ye Bai was left speechless by this revelation. He now understood clearly. With such a treasure, who wouldn’t be tempted? Who wouldn’t desire it?

The more talented disciples cultivated here, the faster their strength would improve, even increasing by dozens of times!

Accumulated over time, this created a terrifying gap. No wonder the Heavenly Sword Sect had not been completely annexed yet.

Even the Divine Sword Sect had to gradually erode them, using a strategy akin to boiling a frog in warm water.

This was because the current Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, Lu Yuan, had considerable cultivation.

However, due to the varying strengths of the elders within the sect and the scarcity of mid-level combat power, they appeared vulnerable.

At this moment, Ye Bai had only one thought in mind: to diligently train his body and enhance its strength, absorbing all the spiritual energy here completely. With this in mind, Ye Bai’s heart instantly became fervent.

He quickly asked, “Eldest Senior Sister, if I remember correctly, you are currently cultivating the White Cloud Heart Sutra, right?”

The White Cloud Heart Sutra was also a superior cultivation technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect, slightly inferior to the technique Lu Yuan gave him.

Su Xue’s lips slightly parted as she responded, “Indeed, what’s the matter?”

Ye Bai remained silent because, at this moment, the little golden figure in his mind had already begun rapidly absorbing information about the White Cloud Heart Sutra.

Observing Ye Bai’s silence, Su Xue, instead of getting angry, felt her heart pounding fast. This scene had occurred once.

Could it be that her junior brother truly possessed astonishing comprehension, able to grasp this heaven-ranked cultivation technique in such a short time?

However, upon careful consideration, she found it difficult to believe. It seemed too shocking, too unbelievable, even for someone with exceptional talent.

Yet, Ye Bai’s previous performance forced her to believe in this possibility. If she could, she would like to ask for clarification, but she also understood that everyone had secrets and such questions should not be asked.

After a while, Ye Bai’s face turned slightly pale as he opened his eyes.

A dense golden light flashed in his eyes, but soon his expression returned to normal.

“Junior Brother Ye, what happened to you?” Su Xue asked with concern upon seeing this.

Ye Bai shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion and astonishment. However, he quickly suppressed these emotions and said, “Eldest Senior Sister, I’m fine. Now, follow my guidance and activate the technique.”

“Alright!”

Without hesitation, Su Xue immediately sat cross-legged on the cushion, assuming a cultivation posture.

At the same time, Ye Bai uttered the names of several crucial acupoints. These were extremely vital acupoints in the human body.

Although Su Xue was somewhat surprised, she immediately circulated her true energy towards those acupoints as instructed by Ye Bai.

Soon, something astonishing happened! When the true energy flew through the acupoints mentioned by Ye Bai, she suddenly felt as if her entire body had been completely opened up.

Even her pores began to expand, and countless strands of spiritual energy entered her body through the pores, effortlessly transforming into true energy.

What shocked Su Xue the most was that both the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and the speed of conversion far exceed the limits achievable by the White Cloud Heart Sutra!

In other words, she was currently cultivating a technique that she was completely unaware of. If she were alone in this cultivation, she would have probably stopped by now.

After all, such an abnormal cultivation speed, without understanding its cause, was not a good sign and could even lead to demonic cultivation.
