Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 742 - 377. Top 100 Immortal Techniques - Divine Ape Transformation

"Nice to meet you. My name is Jiang Yueying. I am Master's second disciple, and you can call me Second Senior Sister or Senior Sister Jiang."

The purple-haired girl's voice was gentle, and her manner exuded elegance.

"Including you, Master now has a total of five disciples. You are Old Fifth," she smiled and added.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Jiang."

After a moment's thought, Xu Xing chose the latter appellation and greeted her with a salute.

After these brief introductions, Jiang Yueying said no more and led Xu Xing to a side chamber within Lu Zhuo's Cave Mansion.

"Master possesses five great profound arts, three of which are ranked among the Top 100 Immortal Techniques in Mount Wanshou."

"As for myself, my own learning has been inadequate, and I have so far only mastered two of these profound arts."

"They are the Fire Crow Technique, ranked 139th in Mount Wanshou, and the Divine Ape Transformation, ranked 97th."

Jiang Yueying spoke eloquently.

When she mentioned the Divine Ape Transformation, Jiang Yueying looked at Xu Xing with a serious expression. "The reason Master chose you as his disciple during the Ascending to Immortality Convention was because he valued your ability to comprehend the Little Boulder Technique, a transformation art, within a single month."

"The Divine Ape Transformation is also an Immortal Technique of the Path of Transformation."

Divine Ape Transformation? Xu Xing contemplated for a moment. If I'm not mistaken, Lu Zhuo must have instructed this Senior Sister of mine to teach me this profound art, the Divine Ape Transformation, on his behalf.

"Senior Sister, when you spoke of the Divine Ape Transformation, you seemed to hesitate. Is there some flaw in this Immortal Technique?" Xu Xing asked respectfully but directly.

He could tell from Jiang Yueying's words that she would rather he choose the Fire Crow Technique, ranked 139th, than the 97th-ranked Divine Ape Transformation.

"It's not that there's any flaw." Jiang Yueying shook her head. "Master is not the kind of Cultivator who would use his disciples as test subjects for practicing Immortal Techniques."

"Rather..." Jiang Yueying pondered for a moment before speaking truthfully, "Each of the Top 100 Immortal Techniques in Mount Wanshou points directly to the Great Dao. Even when cultivated to the True Immortal realm, these Immortal Techniques remain useful. However, their only drawback is that... these Immortal Techniques are incredibly difficult to cultivate."

"Practicing the Fire Crow Technique, with your talent, Junior Brother, might yield results in a few centuries. However, cultivating God Ape Change... it's possible you might never achieve anything in your entire lifetime."

Xu Xing fell silent upon hearing this.

There is still a difference between minor Immortal Techniques and true Immortal Techniques. A minor Immortal Technique might be comprehended in a month, but a true Immortal Technique definitely wouldn't be. Moreover, it's not easy to determine one's talent in Immortal Technique Cultivation within just one or two years. If one were to immerse oneself in the Divine Ape Transformation for too long without any gains, it would be too late to switch to cultivating other Immortal Techniques. Firstly, the eligibility to exchange for Immortal Techniques would be gone. No matter the sect, the exchange of Immortal Techniques within it is always handled with extreme caution. Secondly, even if it wasn't considered too late for personal Cultivation, one would still fall more than just a step behind one's peers. Fall behind once, and you'll keep falling further behind. In terms of resource allocation, Mount Wanshou is more inclined to concentrate resources on younger Cultivators.

"Is this a test from Master?" Xu Xing raised his head to look at the purple-haired girl, one eyebrow arched as he inquired.

"No."

"Master is far too eminent to concern himself with testing disciples in such a manner."

Jiang Yueying looked at Xu Xing's eyes, clear as spring water, and unconsciously took half a step back. It was the first time a man had ever looked at her so intensely.

Then she collected herself and said, "Back then, the Immortal Technique our Eldest Senior Brother practiced was not one of the Top 100 Immortal Techniques either, but an ordinary Immortal Technique of Mount Wanshou. Yet, he still received Master's deep regard."

Just from this intuition, Jiang Yueying felt that Xu Xing was no ordinary person. Ordinary Cultivators wouldn't have the audacity to 'gaze' at her like that; they'd be too busy being deferential.

"Senior Sister Jiang, then what are the benefits of cultivating one of the Top 100 Immortal Techniques, like the Divine Ape Transformation, first?" Xu Xing, having received his answer, asked again.

He had already made up his mind to cultivate the Divine Ape Transformation first. However, before starting, he still needed to understand why Mount Wanshou encouraged Cultivators to prioritize the Top 100 Immortal Techniques. He could still afford a few hundred years. After all, the Evergreen Immortal World was merely an Instance World for him. As long as the body of his other self didn't perish, it wouldn't implicate his Primordial Spirit, so it would be fine. Secondly, if he cultivated the Fire Crow Technique first, he might not be able to obtain a Top 100 Immortal Technique on par with the Divine Ape Transformation for a very long time in Mount Wanshou.

"The Top 100 Immortal Techniques are all 'Desolate' grade Immortal Techniques. As long as you succeed in cultivating such an Immortal Technique, you can obtain a Dao Seed within your body. This Dao Seed offers great benefits for a Cultivator's journey from mortal to True Immortal," Jiang Yueying enunciated each word carefully.

"Then I'll learn it!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"I'll learn this Divine Ape Transformation," Xu Xing decided instantly, his tone firm and resolute.

Other Immortal Techniques, no matter how powerful, were merely arts of slaughter and combat. The Top 100 Immortal Techniques, however, could form a Dao Seed and aid in Cultivation. His true self was currently bottlenecked at the Nascent Soul Stage, making this the perfect time to cultivate this God Ape Change.

"Junior Brother Ding, won't you reconsider?" Jiang Yueying was taken aback by Xu Xing's decisiveness.

Back then, when faced with this dilemma, she herself had hesitated for several days before finally making a decision. Learning Immortal Techniques isn't something accomplished overnight, and wanting to advance in multiple areas simultaneously is far from easy.

"No need to reconsider!" Xu Xing nodded solemnly.

"Very well."

"Then I shall act on Master's behalf and teach you the Divine Ape Transformation."

Jiang Yueying inclined her Qiufu slightly.

「A few months later.」

Jiang Yueying's jade-like face was flushed. She looked at the youth in the green robe sitting cross-legged before her, eyes closed in meditation, and took a few soft breaths. The scripture for the Divine Ape Transformation was exceptionally convoluted, involving not only the Cultivation Method but also Divine Intent Maps for each small realm. Even with her level of Cultivation, imparting this Immortal Technique to Xu Xing had been quite strenuous. The effort was comparable to an intense battle with an adversary of the same realm.
