Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 963 - 937: Selecting a Spell

Having concluded the discussion, Liu Chengbo said, "Junior Brother Tangyu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave and not disturb you any further. My peak is just over there, feel free to come to me if you need anything. By the way, Junior Brother Tangyu, those five servants will be sent over to you in about three to five days."

"Alright, Senior Brother Liu, much appreciated." Tangyu nodded.

After seeing off Senior Brother Liu, Tangyu walked around the palace once and was quite satisfied with his future place of cultivation. This step was taken steadily indeed. Securing such opportunities and a starting point, Tangyu felt a bit more ambitious about the path ahead.

However, Tangyu did not become too complacent about this, and soon calmed down, realizing that cultivation is the true essence; everything else is just external.

"What I lack most right now are spells, so I’d better go to the Technique Hall to choose some spells to enrich myself. Although I have my self-created ’Bright Moon Sword Art,’ it’s only just beginning. Creating a second form won’t be easy." Tangyu immediately made up his mind.

With this thought, Tangyu quickly headed towards Treasure Peak.

The sect of Yanshan Sect occupies over a hundred peaks, all connected by stone paths and all under the protection of the Mountain-Protecting Great Formation. Formations guard the place everywhere; ordinary people wouldn’t notice the intricacies, but Tangyu could see quite a bit of it, marveling at the profound foundation of Yanshan Sect. The time it must have taken to lay down all these formations could only be imagined.

Straight to Treasure Peak, he saw three grand and solemn palaces standing on the peak: the Technique Hall, the Spirit Treasure Hall, and the Hall of Merits.

Ascending the mountain, he encountered several men unfamiliar to him, clearly older disciples. Their gazes lingered for a moment on Tangyu, evidently curious about this unfamiliar face.

Tangyu glanced at them and continued towards the Technique Hall, soon hearing their murmured discussions.

"I heard the Sect Master took someone named Tangyu as a direct disciple, could it be this person?"

"Who knows? To be personally taken as a disciple by the Sect Master, one must indeed be an extraordinary genius. Tsk tsk, all we can feel is envy and jealousy."

"Isn’t that right? I heard this time the Sect Master even personally appeared on the Path of Dao Patterns and directly took that Tangyu away. Tsk tsk, such treatment; just thinking about it makes one envious. I’ve heard that Tangyu stayed on the Path of Dao Patterns for three whole hours—what an extraordinary genius. Three hours, have you ever heard of anyone else?"

"No, it seems even in the near-millennium history of our Yanshan Sect, there hasn’t been one, has there?"

"Indeed, no wonder he earned the personal tutelage of the Sect Master. But let’s not talk about it, let’s go—comparing oneself to others only brings anger."

Hearing these discussions, Tangyu smiled faintly, having directly cultivated the Yin Yang Path, thus appearing so extraordinary.

He arrived directly at the Technique Hall, where a solemn elder sat cross-legged in front of the towering palace doors, eyes closed in meditation. His hair and beard were all white, and he exuded an aura of immortal demeanor. His very presence felt like a towering mountain; even a glance would compel a sense of awe and reverence.

A powerful figure, indeed!

Seeing the Guardian Elder before him, Tangyu felt that his aura surpassed even that of Elder Bai.

Such an elder, of unknown realm.

Tangyu approached the elder with reverence, bowing respectfully as he greeted, "Disciple Tangyu, pays respect to the elder."

The elder then slightly opened his eyes, his gaze as penetrating as a torch landing on Tangyu, instantly giving Tangyu the sensation of being seen through, as if no secrets remained in the elder’s presence. This gaze was overwhelmingly invasive and penetrating.

"Just call me Elder Fa; as a direct disciple of the Sect Master, you have the same treatment as elite disciples, allowing you to choose and cultivate spells from the first to the third layer. However, don’t bite off more than you can chew. How you choose is entirely up to you, go in." The elder said indifferently, waving a hand with immense strength at the Technique Hall’s door, which promptly opened.

"Yes, Elder Fa." Tangyu nodded and entered the Technique Hall.

Inside was a massive hall, with crystal platforms lining the periphery, each holding a jade slip. Every jade slip represented a spell, with the platforms providing some information about each spell.

From Elder Fa, Tangyu learned that the Technique Hall consisted of three layers. It was quite evident that the first layer contained ordinary spells, the second layer better ones, and the third layer likely housed the sect’s top-tier spells.

So there was no point in looking at the first layer; Tangyu went straight to the second layer.

The second layer, much like the first, but with only about a tenth of the jade slips as the first. Altogether, there were just over a hundred. This number astonished Tangyu. Even the first layer’s spells, if brought to Earth, would each be considered world-shattering immortal laws. The foundation of Yanshan Sect truly was impressive. With so many spells, the path of cultivation indeed became much broader.

The path of Immortal Cultivation, although talent is important, a good Cultivation Technique is equally important.

This is why, on Earth, besides Pangu Nuwa and Tangyu, everyone else is stuck at the First Layer of the Mystical Law Realm.

Because they don’t have any spells to cultivate, it’s impossible for them to improve further.

Unless, of course, someone like Tangyu can create a spell themselves, but how many people can achieve that?

"The higher the Cultivation Technique, the harder it is to cultivate. I haven’t practiced any spells before, so this time there’s no need to choose those top spells on the Third Layer. It’s better to select from the Second Layer first, practice them and see the situation. If necessary, then I’ll go to the Third Layer to pick some. After all, I have the privilege to come here and choose Cultivation Techniques anytime, which is an advantage that others do not have." Tangyu quickly made a decision.

As Elder Fa said, more isn’t always better. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You eat food bite by bite, and walk paths step by step.

"Great Rift Vajra Technique, its power is decent, follows the Golden Path, and it can be cultivated all the way to the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, not bad."

"Blazing Sky Incinerating Art, domineering, truly domineering. But cultivating this spell requires spending long periods immersed in a sea of flames to refine the Heaven and Earth Fire Seed, making the cultivation process particularly arduous. Hardship is acceptable, but trying to refine the Heaven and Earth Fire Seed requires searching for it. If I cultivate it, my Master might get the Fire Seed for me. However, exerting such effort feels too cumbersome. After all, this spell only allows cultivation to the Ninth Layer of the Mystical Law Realm."

This spell is quite good, but Tangyu decided to abandon it.

A spell suitable for directly cultivating the Yin Yang Path is extremely rare. So Tangyu can only settle for practicing a spell of the Path of the Five Elements, using the Five Elements to merge into the Yin Yang Path, making smaller breakthroughs to drive larger breakthroughs. This is Tangyu’s current cultivation strategy.

Actually, even if there are spells suitable for cultivating the Yin Yang Path, the difficulty would definitely be much higher than cultivating the Path of the Five Elements.

So using this strategy, it’s likely to be more effective.

As for the Path of the Five Elements, Tangyu plans to choose one spell for each element to cultivate, temporarily picking five spells.

"Three Thousand Flowing Water, this is nice." After searching for a while, Tangyu finally found a spell that intrigued him.

However, Tangyu isn’t particularly satisfied. Although there are many spells here, none truly move Tangyu’s heart at first glance for him to want to practice them. Therefore, the selection feels overwhelming and directionless.

With more choices, more factors to consider emerge.

After selecting and reselecting, Tangyu still feels indecisive and uncertain.

"Eh, Five Elements Derivation Art." Tangyu was suddenly attracted to a spell, just seeing its name gave him ideas, and after reviewing some information, Tangyu was even more intrigued: "There’s actually a spell like this, directly deriving the Five Elements, suitable for cultivating any of the Five Elements, yet it’s just one spell. Amazing, truly amazing. Haha, such a spell is most suitable for cultivators of the Yin Yang Path. But speaking of it, it’s suitable for any cultivator of the Five Elements."

"However—this spell seems somewhat damaged, with some parts missing, making it incomplete. Although the techniques aren’t missing, critical parts of the formula are absent. If not cultivated properly, it might even lead to Deviation, destroying the Dao Foundation. No wonder the information here specifically advises cultivators to choose carefully."

Tangyu shook his head. It’s rare to find a spell that greatly intrigues him, yet it has some missing formulas. However, Tangyu feels this spell is most suitable for his cultivation; it allows cultivating the Five Elements while better facilitating their fusion.

"No matter, incomplete is incomplete. I don’t believe I’ll be so unlucky as to deviate during cultivation." Tangyu bit his lip and made a decision, feeling it’s too regretful to abandon such a spell.

"This spell doesn’t focus on combat. To enhance my combat power, so I don’t have to rely on using Bright Moon Sword Art too often, I might as well cultivate a more powerful spell, like choosing Great Rift Vajra Technique." Tangyu thought it over and made a decision.

Once Tangyu decides on something, he won’t change it. He picked up the Five Elements Derivation Art and Great Rift Vajra Technique and left directly, with no need to go to the Third Layer anymore.

Upon exiting the Technique Hall, Tangyu approached Elder Fa, respectfully handing the two Jade Slips before him, saying: "Elder Fa, I choose these two spells."

Elder Fa slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Tangyu, nodding slightly: "Not anxious nor impetuous, your disposition is quite good. What’s suitable for you is the best. I believe you understand the pros and cons, so I won’t say much."

After speaking, Elder Fa waved his hand to lift the restriction on the two Jade Slips, saying: "Memorize the spells, then return the Jade Slips to me."

"Yes." Tangyu nodded quickly, memorized the formulas for both spells, returned the Jade Slips to Elder Fa, and left.
