After reading about Li Weitian's experiences, Lu Qing fell silent once more.
He withdrew his previous thoughts, realizing that this man's luck was extraordinarily poor.
If his lifespan had been a bit longer, or if he had arrived here earlier, he would have had enough time to comprehend the runes. If that had been the case, perhaps he could have gained more insights and broken through to a level beyond the Precelestial.
Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in this world. Fate is cruel in such a way that Li Weitian found this jade cavern just as his life was nearing its end. He could only make a desperate attempt, which ultimately failed.
Experiencing such despair, seeing hope, and then falling into despair again, Li Weitian did not go mad in the end. He calmly recorded his last words, advising future seekers to learn from his mistakes. This kind of composure truly befits a martial arts master at the peak of the Precelestial realm. Even in the face of imminent death, he remained unflustered.
【...97%, 98%, 99%, 100%】
【Simulation of the technique completed, would you like to learn it?】
Just as Lu Qing was lost in thought, a prompt appeared in his vision. Perhaps due to the profound nature of the techniques left by Li Weitian, this simulation took much longer than usual.
Lu Qing looked at the prompt in his vision and silently chose "Yes."
In the next moment, countless pieces of information and insights about the technique flooded his mind. Lu Qing closed his eyes, and after a long time, he finally woke up from his epiphany."So, it's just a Precelestial technique?"
Understanding dawned in Lu Qing's eyes as he muttered to himself.
Indeed, all the techniques left by Li Weitian in the jade slip were of the Precelestial level, his lifelong proud achievements. There were no techniques of lower, Postnatal levels. Li Weitian was proud. In his view, anyone qualified to read his jade slip should at least have tempered their soul force and stepped into the Precelestial realm. Such martial artists would have no use for mere Postnatal techniques. He disdained to inscribe such low-level techniques in his inheritance jade slip.
Li Weitian never anticipated that someone like Lu Qing, an anomaly from future generations, could read the information in the inheritance jade slip without having soul force.
"The key to breaking through from the Postnatal to the Precelestial lies in tempering one's soul force, sensing the world's energy with the soul, breaking through barriers, and drawing the energy into the body?"
After receiving the technique information, Lu Qing immediately understood the crucial point of breaking through from the Postnatal to the Precelestial. However, understanding it was of no use.
The saying goes, "A strong body nurtures a strong soul." Only a sufficiently strong body can nurture a powerful soul. To temper one's soul force, the physical body must reach an extremely robust state, only then is there a chance.
According to martial arts cultivation, one must achieve perfection in the Postnatal realm, with Blood Qi, tendons and bones, and internal organs all reaching their limits. Then, through secret techniques, one must repeatedly temper the spirit, only then is it possible to break through the limits and comprehend soul force.
Lu Qing was currently only at the minor accomplishment stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, far from the perfection of the Postnatal realm. Thus, even though he obtained Li Weitian's Precelestial techniques, he was not yet qualified to practice them.
He still needed to progress step by step, reaching the perfection of the Postnatal realm before he could practice these Precelestial techniques.
Nevertheless, Lu Qing's gains were still immense. At least, with these Precelestial techniques, he would no longer lack techniques for his future cultivation. The Health Nourishing Boxing taught by his master was already sufficient to cultivate to the Internal Organs realm. Now that he also had Precelestial techniques, he just needed to focus on his cultivation. With the aid of his special ability, achieving the Precelestial realm would no longer be an extravagant hope.
With a very good mood, Lu Qing took Li Weitian's remains outside the valley and gave them a proper burial before returning to the cavern.
After returning to the cavern, he still did not touch the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid. Instead, he stood before the cavern wall, observing the mysterious patterns carved on the jade wall.
In the inheritance jade slip, Li Weitian highly praised these mysterious patterns, referring to them as runes, and had gained some insights beyond the Precelestial realm from them. According to Li Weitian's last words, if his life limit had come a bit later, giving him enough time to comprehend these runes, he would have surely broken through the limits and reached a realm beyond the Precelestial.
This naturally piqued Lu Qing's curiosity about these mysterious patterns. He wanted to see if his special ability could glean anything from them.
Activating his special ability, Lu Qing focused intently on the mysterious patterns.
He watched for a long time.
After a quarter of an hour, just as Lu Qing thought that even his special ability couldn't penetrate the secrets of these mysterious patterns, a dense golden light emerged from them.
【Array Runes: Mysterious runes inscribed by those with magical power, containing magic, capable of guiding and gathering the earth's energy.】
【The Way of Runes: Created by great beings who observed the textures of all things in the world, inherently possessing the mysterious power to communicate with everything.】
【The Way of Runes: Ever-changing, different combinations of runes can produce various incredible effects.】
【Inheritance found, would you like to simulate and download it?】
Lu Qing was stunned.
Then, a surge of ecstasy welled up in his heart.
The introductory lines about runes were manageable; after all, Li Weitian's information had prepared him somewhat for the mysterious power of these patterns. However, the last line greatly exceeded his expectations.
He hadn't anticipated that these mysterious patterns would contain an inheritance, not just techniques.
Lu Qing noted the term "inheritance" used by his ability. Anything worthy of being called an inheritance must be very complete.
Without hesitation, he chose to simulate and download it.
Then, he stared intently at the mysterious patterns before him with unprecedented seriousness.
【Simulation download starting, current progress: 1%, 2%...】
The progress bar in his vision moved very slowly, but Lu Qing was in no hurry. The slower the simulation download, the more precious the inheritance contained within the runes.
When the progress bar in his vision reached 10%, it stopped moving.
Lu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while. He switched to another part of the cavern wall and continued to observe the runes.
Sure enough, shortly after, the progress bar in his vision started moving again.
In this manner, every time the progress bar stopped, Lu Qing would switch to a different part of the cavern wall to observe other runes.
When he had scanned all the visible runes in the cavern, he finally saw the progress bar in his vision reach its end.
【...97%, 98%, 99%, 100%】
【Simulation download completed, would you like to learn it?】
Looking at the prompt in his vision, Lu Qing, filled with excitement, chose to learn it.
