“I will wait for you to come out here.”
“Pearl of Derivation needs to be used in sequence. I don’t know who goes first and who goes last.”
“Anyway, after the technique derivation, we’ll meet here.”
The black-robed cultivator said concisely.
Seeing the passage ahead taking shape, Han Yi simply nodded, responded, and eagerly rushed in.
Li Fan bowed to the black-robed cultivator and then stepped in slowly.
Ximen Yue followed Li Fan’s lead and entered the black stone tablet last.
The black-robed cultivator watched as the colorful light on the stone tablet gradually submerged into blackness again. He remained motionless, becoming like a statue, standing in front of the black stone tablet.
…“User applying for Pearl of Derivation: Xiao Fan.”
“Serial number: 17. Authorization level: Nascent Soul.”
“Please wait patiently here. The estimated remaining waiting time is seven days and six hours.”
A lazy voice gradually returned to Li Fan’s ears.
Looking around, Li Fan found himself in a sealed space.
The space was not spacious, and the decoration was quite simple.
There was only a set of tables and chairs, a few potted plants, and a bookshelf.
On one wall, Li Fan’s application information and the countdown were displayed.
Han Yi and Ximen Yue were nowhere to be seen. Li Fan speculated that each applicant was in their own separate space.
Within this space, spiritual energy remained dormant in the body, unable to be cultivated.
Seven days was not a short time.
With nothing else to do, Li Fan walked to the bookshelf and began to look through the books placed on it.
Unlike jade slips that could be read with spiritual consciousness, these books seemed to be purely paper products, requiring manual flipping.
However, Li Fan was originally a scholar, so reading was not difficult for him.
He took several books and began to read slowly.
《Guide to Using Pearl of Derivation》, 《Ten Principles of Technique Derivation》, 《Distinguishing between Technique Derivation and Cultivation for Cultivators》
…
Time slowly passed as Li Fan immersed himself in reading.
With several books finished, he also gained a rough understanding of Pearl of Derivation that he was about to see.
As a precious treasure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, located in the Law Enforcement Hall, Pearl of Derivation had the responsibility of creating and deriving new techniques.
Every moment, brand new techniques that had never existed before were derived.
And this process of technique derivation was not to be interrupted.
However, there were different levels of techniques. The difficulty of deriving techniques that integrated Dao and those for foundation establishment naturally couldn’t be compared.
When Pearl of Derivation derives low-level techniques, it operates in a low-energy state and can assist cultivators in deriving techniques.
When Pearl of Derivation derives high-level techniques, cultivators must patiently wait.
Each Pearl of Derivation card allows for different durations of technique derivation based on its level.
For Dao Integration level, it takes about two days, while for Li Fan’s Nascent Soul level card, there’s basically only three hours of usage time.
Cultivators using Pearl of Derivation have two modes to choose from.
One is to only provide the rough attributes and requirements of the technique, allowing Pearl of Derivation to spontaneously derive it.
Although this “creation from nothing” method has no cost, the final product may not meet expectations.
If the set requirements are too high, Pearl of Derivation may exceed the time limit for derivation, resulting in a flawed version of the technique.
The second option is to provide a basic blueprint technique for Pearl of Derivation to derive an advanced technique from.
The advantage of this method is the ability to customize more accurately and obtain the desired technique.
Moreover, the time required for Pearl of Derivation to derive is greatly reduced.
After generating the first version of the technique, if unsatisfied with its effect, Pearl of Derivation can be adjusted until the time is up.
The drawback is that the level of the blueprint technique cannot be lower than the derived technique.
Otherwise, the efficiency of derivation will be greatly reduced, similar to “creation from nothing”.
Techniques derived by individual applications for Pearl of Derivation are directly taught by the user of Pearl of Derivation and are not recorded in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s technique library.
Cultivators have complete autonomy over them.
The blueprint technique also has no restrictions on its source and will not be recorded or reported to the technique library.
…
After carefully reading through the precautions, Li Fan adjusted his original plan.
After a moment, he made a final decision on how to use it in this world.
“However, in these instructions…”
Li Fan’s expression was somewhat strange.
He keenly noticed that when Pearl of Derivation was mentioned in the books, it used pronouns like “she” and “herself”.
“Could it be that the Pearl of Derivation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is actually a cultivator?”
“That’s somewhat unexpected.”
Li Fan looked at the countdown on the wall.
Three days left.
He began to read other books related to the theories of technique derivation.
Many were insights from some famous technique masters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance after using Pearl of Derivation.
Li Fan had previously spent nearly twenty years integrating techniques and insights to derive the “Illusory Spirit Technique”.
As someone who could barely be considered a half-fledged Weaving Master, at this moment, he found the process quite intriguing and not at all boring.
Time passed quickly.
Soon, the same elevating sound rang out again.
“Cultivator Xiao Fan, it’s almost your turn. Please prepare yourself.”
Li Fan put the book back on the shelf, took a deep breath, and felt a surge of energy.
The countdown on the wall slowly reached zero.
Everything in the space became illusory.
Turning into dots of light, drifting towards a certain direction.
Li Fan floated in the space, slightly stunned.
Looking around, he found himself in a vast void.
In an instant of enlightenment, Li Fan followed the previous dots of light and flew forward.
Before long, he saw a huge sphere composed of countless characters.
Every moment, the characters on the sphere were constantly changing.
Occasionally, the entire set of characters on the sphere would pause for a moment, then emit a dazzling light and disappear.
Then it would begin an endless cycle of changes and derivations.
Beneath this huge sphere, a desk floated in the void.
A loli who looked only five or six years old was lying on the desk.
She looked listless as she watched the characters continuously appearing on the table.
“Is she Pearl of Derivation?”
Li Fan slowly flew closer, but found that after reaching a certain distance, he could no longer approach.
Seeing that the little loli didn’t even notice him, he could only cough lightly.
“May I ask…”
“What kind of technique to derive, what requirements the technique has, whether it’s ‘creation from nothing’ or ‘blueprint creation’.”
“Write it down yourself.”
The little loli didn’t even lift her head, speaking in a childish voice.
Then she clapped her chubby hands on the desk, and after a flash of light, a piece of paper appeared instantly.
The little loli picked up the paper and threw it in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan looked at Pearl of Derivation and felt even more strange, but he didn’t delay. He grabbed the paper, and the thoughts in his mind immediately appeared on the paper in lines of text.
“Blueprint technique ‘Thousand Mechanisms Golden Chapter’, ‘Sun Stealing Token Method’, reference secret art ‘Appearance Changing with Heart’.”
“To derive a technique that can completely transform into the technique of others.”
