The Copper dicine City Lord departed, leaving Wang Xu alone in the Library Pavilion to make his selections.
Wang Xu casually picked up an ancient book.
"'Snow'?"
Flipping open the yellowed pages, Wang Xu read carefully.
This is a type of assault secret technique, capable of converting the Constant Spirit into ice and snow, causing damage to enemies. If cultivated to a certain realm, it can freeze everything for miles, rendering enemies immobile.
"Indeed, a fine secret technique." Wang Xu nodded, placing it back where it belonged.
Although this secret technique is powerful, it was not suitable for Wang Xu.
In his view, 'Snow' seed more like a binding secret technique rather than an assault one, not enough to tempt Wang Xu.
Randomly picking up another ancient book.
"'Red'."
'Red' is also a type of assault secret technique. Its uniqueness lies in that, regardless of the weapon used by creatures of the Ganges River, it can be utilized. When executed, it turns heaven and earth red, emitting a dazzling red light, sweeping away all enemies.
Wang Xu shook his head, returning it to its place.
Again, not suitable.
Wang Xu spent a quarter of an hour in the study room, scanning through all the secret techniques on the bookshelves.
But to his disappointnt, none could move him, or instigate a desire for cultivation.
"Forget it, having a secret technique to cultivate is already a blessing; I shouldn't overly insist. At worst, I'll seek again once I reach the First Layer."
Wang Xu pulled out another ancient book from the shelf. This secret technique was nad 'Thorn,' also an assault type. However, unlike other secret techniques, 'Thorn' could transform surrounding Constant Spirits into sharp Constant Spirit thorns, overwhelming an opponent from every direction.
If 'Thorn' was cultivated to a certain level, these thorns could rge together, compress continuously, and eventually consolidate into an even more powerful Constant Spirit thorn!
In the midst of intense battle, 'Thorn' could be executed while opponents are unguarded, enough to overturn the battle in one's favor!
"Wang Xu, wait."
Just as Wang Xu was about to turn and leave, the scarlet-robed figure of You Ji suddenly appeared, stopping him.
"What is it?"
Wang Xu looked towards You Ji, whose gaze was directed downward. Following You Ji's line of sight, he saw at the foot of the shelf a book covered in dust and extrely tattered.
"Hmm?" Wang Xu imdiately felt a sense of doubt.
He didn't believe this was a coincidence. This was the study room where the Copper dicine City Lord stored secret techniques. There couldn't be any random omissions of secret techniques.
Imdiately, Wang Xu gently lifted the shelf and grabbed the book into his hand.
Hoo.
A gentle blow scattered all the dust, allowing Wang Xu to finally make out the words on the book cover.
'Assault.'
Intrigued, Wang Xu opened the book, with You Ji leaning over as well to see what was written within.
A mont later.
"Hiss—"
A sharp intake of breath ca from Wang Xu's mouth, his eyes bulging as large as copper bells!
"No wonder it resonates with ; it turns out to be a 'Truth Secret Technique'!" You Ji exclaid, eyes shining.
During the days Wang Xu was recuperating, You Ji hadn't been idle and had specifically asked Wang Xu to instruct servants to buy many books for study, gaining substantial knowledge about the Ganges Realm.
Among this was information regarding the Truth Secret Technique.
Secret techniques in the Ganges World are broadly classified into three categories.
The first category is the ordinary secret techniques currently being cultivated by individuals like the Copper dicine City Lord, known among Ganges creatures as 'Ganges Secret Techniques.'
The second category is shrouded in truth, created by the super strong beings in the Ganges World, nad 'Truth Secret Techniques.'
Even soone of the Copper dicine City Lord's First Layer status has never cultivated a Truth Secret Technique, demonstrating its worth.
The third category, the most mysterious and unobtainable... perhaps no longer to be terd secret techniques, is the 'Scripture of Truth.'
Information on the Scripture of Truth is scarce, as such precious items are rarely seen in a lifeti, let alone understood.
But its status surpasses that of Truth Secret Techniques, so its value goes without saying.
"Is this a Truth Secret Technique?"
After hearing what You Ji said, Wang Xu was sowhat disbelieving.
After all, even the City Lord of Copper dicine City, who is in the Emperor Spirit Realm and cos from a prestigious family on the First Layer, has never cultivated the Truth Secret Technique. But Wang Xu obtained it inadvertently, like a golden mountain suddenly appearing before him, truly shocking Wang Xu.
Not only that, but he had already seen the description of the content of this Secret Technique and was completely convinced that it was indeed a Truth Secret Technique!
"Assault" is a type of Body Technique Secret Skill. At the beginning of cultivation, it can significantly enhance movent abilities. After reaching a certain realm, it can almost completely evade detection, making the enemy unable to pinpoint one's location.
What's even more extraordinary is that "Assault" can completely conceal one's aura and hide one's form. Unless the opponent's power is two realms higher, they cannot detect the existence of the caster at all!
Wang Xu took a deep breath, slightly calming his surging emotions.
"Alright, this is the one!"
Although "Assault" is not an attack-type Secret Technique and cannot enhance Wang Xu's power, a Body Technique Secret Skill brings great benefits to him as well. At least, it provides strong life-saving abilities, enabling him to escape even in front of soone two realms stronger!
The Ganges Realm is fraught with danger, and Wang Xu has to prioritize his own life. Besides, cultivating "Assault" to a certain level allows aura concealnt and stealth, which will be imnsely helpful for his future missions.
Considering all factors, Wang Xu found no reason not to choose it.
...
"Father-in-law, I choose this Secret Technique."
The City Lord of Copper dicine City awaited outside the study room door. As soon as Wang Xu ca out, he saw the book Wang Xu was holding, and his expression froze for a mont before a smile appeared on his face.
"As expected, you chose it too." The City Lord of Copper dicine City chuckled joyfully.
"Father-in-law, you know this Secret Technique?" Wang Xu asked in surprise.
"This is my study. Even a speck of dust, I am familiar with, let alone this Secret Technique." The City Lord laughed, "I imagine you chose it because you felt its extraordinariness! To tell you the truth, your choice is indeed right; this is a Truth Secret Technique!"
This old fox really knew!
Originally, Wang Xu was secretly delighted, but after hearing the City Lord's words, he realized he hadn't stumbled upon any cheap deal.
"Father-in-law, since you know it's a Truth Secret Technique, why didn't you cultivate it?" Wang Xu inquired.
"It's indeed a Truth Secret Technique, but it's incomplete, only one-fifth of it." The City Lord shook his head regretfully, and Wang Xu finally understood why this Truth Secret Technique was used to prop up the bookshelf.
An incomplete Secret Technique, no matter how high-class, is incomplete, destined never to achieve greatness.
"Wang Xu, choose it!" You Ji's voice echoed in Wang Xu's mind, "Though incomplete, this Secret Technique resonates with , so there must be sothing extraordinary about it!"
"You Ji, this may be an incomplete Secret Technique. Even if it can be cultivated, the crucial part is that cultivating in its incomplete state might cause self-harm!" Wang Xu replied.
Cultivating an incomplete Secret Technique can easily lead to being possessed by demons, and the price paid isn't rely the loss of a Secret Technique; Wang Xu's life could also be at stake!
"Listen to , just choose this Secret Technique!" You Ji insisted.
Wang Xu was helpless but knew that You Ji wouldn't act recklessly and must have her reasons for holding onto this Secret Technique.
"Father-in-law, I still decide to choose this Secret Technique," Wang Xu stated to the City Lord of Copper dicine City.
The City Lord was surprised: "This Secret Technique is only one-fifth complete. Even though it's a Truth Secret Technique, I'm afraid its effects after cultivation might not even match ordinary Ganges Secret Techniques. Are you sure you want to choose it?"
Wang Xu nodded firmly.
"Aren't you going to reconsider?" The City Lord advised. At this mont, Wang Xu was crucial to him. Whether he could gloriously return to the main clan depended entirely on Wang Xu's performance in the clan competition. Therefore, he didn't want to see Wang Xu make any mistakes.
"I'll choose this Secret Technique," Wang Xu replied.
The City Lord sighed, understanding that Wang Xu had made up his mind.
"Alright then, but if you encounter any errors during cultivation, you must stop imdiately, no recklessness, understand?" The City Lord instructed.
"Don't worry, I will know my limits."
Since Wang Xu was determined to choose this Secret Technique, the City Lord could not stop him. He placed his two fingers on Wang Xu's forehead and transmitted the cultivation thod of this Secret Technique to him in its entirety.
A large stream of information flooded into Wang Xu's mind. Don't be fooled by the small size of this Secret Technique; it contains nurous profound mysteries. Just integrating these graphical texts into books would fill the entire study floor to ceiling!
"Alright, go cultivate. When the ten-year deadline is up, I'll inform you." After transmitting the cultivation thod, the City Lord shook his head and sighed before turning to leave, lanting that such a genius as Wang Xu would achieve great things with any Secret Technique, yet he chose an incomplete one.
Wang Xu was left alone, standing still, quietly sensing those ssages with his eyes closed.
Not until seven days later did Wang Xu open his eyes,
"The Truth Secret Technique is indeed extraordinary," Wang Xu marveled.
He moved, and the Constant Spirit within surged, in a flash making a shift, so fast that even his shadow was nearly invisible. His speed increased by more than double!
This was just Wang Xu's initial cultivation, with no apparent results yet. If he could cultivate this one-fifth of the Secret Technique to Perfection, his speed would undoubtedly soar. And, if he could present the complete Truth Secret Technique, its power would be truly astonishing!
Savoring the mysteries of the Truth Secret Technique, Wang Xu "strolled away" toward his room. His steps were slow, but the distance he crossed was vast, almost as if he were teleporting a hundred ters, faster than a blink!
However, just as Wang Xu was about to reach his room, an extrely violent surge of Constant Spirit startled him awake!
Boom!
There was no ti to react as a blade ford from black mist pierced through several walls, directly assaulting Wang Xu! (To be continued.
