Of course, this is just a specialty store for supernatural powers and secret techniques; in fact, most shops, while selling magical artifacts and slaves, will also sell some supernatural powers and secret techniques on a small scale.
Yunhua spent a full month changing identities and visiting most of the shops before finally compiling a catalog of the supernatural powers and secret techniques sold in Yibo City.
Chapter 1058 The Secret to Purchasing
There are currently as many as 700,000 world-level supernatural abilities and secret techniques for sale; while the number of ancestral god-level techniques and secret techniques is as high as 60 million.
As for the secret techniques at the True God Realm and below, there are even more. Yunhua did not compile a list of these techniques because he did not need them.
Of all the supernatural powers and secret techniques, those related to the Fire Path account for about one-twentieth, which is quite an astonishing proportion. After all, the Fire Path is a large category, and countless chaotic worlds contain the Fire Path.
"After looking for so long, the cultivation techniques and secret arts sold in the shops below the Great Mo Academy are still the most comprehensive and powerful; however, the Seven Fires Secret Art of the Azure Cloud Pavilion is also quite excellent; the Fire Illusion Body Secret Art of the Purple Ripples Sect is also good; and..."
"However, considering my current net worth and purchasing power, there are some supernatural techniques I need to choose between. I'll get the 'Seven Fires Secret Technique' first, and then look for the rest." After thinking for a long time, Yunhua finally decided on the types of secret techniques he needed.
Qingyun Pavilion is actually the name of a sect native to the Great Mo Eternal Realm; this sect has stood in the Great Mo Eternal Realm for countless millennia and has a profound foundation.
As Yunhua entered the shop, a graceful fairy from the Ancestral Immortal Realm, dressed in green, soon appeared.
"Senior, what do you need?" The fairy in green robes looked at Yunhua with a smile.
The shops in Qingyun Pavilion have a huge flow of people, and every waiter is a cultivator at the level of Ancestral Immortal or Ancestral God, and their service attitude is also very good.
"I need the supernatural powers and secret techniques of the Fire Path," Yunhua asked directly.
"Senior, please look here. All the supernatural powers and secret techniques of the Fire Path in our Qingyun Pavilion are here. Which ones do you need?" The Azure-Clad Female Ancestor Immortal took out a list and handed it to Yunhua.
He had already looked at the list, but in the end he still chose the "Seven Fires Secret Technique" that he had previously set his sights on.
"This Seven Fires Secret Technique is worth one hundred and thirty-two bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid," said the female immortal in green.
"Here you go!" Yunhua immediately took out the Chaos Elixir.
"Please come this way, senior!" After seeing that Yunhua had chosen a cultivation technique, the female immortal in green immediately led Yunhua into a secret room inside the Qingyun Pavilion.
The transmission of supernatural powers and secret techniques is different from the buying and selling of other magical treasures and elixirs; it requires a quiet, secluded room for transmission.
After entering the secret chamber, Yunhua waited for a short while before the female immortal appeared, holding a crimson jade slip of inheritance.
This jade slip was entirely crimson red, radiating a scorching aura, and even the air itself seemed to be distorting.
Yunhua accepted the jade slip, and the first thing she wrote was her life oath: "I hereby swear that I will never reveal this in my lifetime..."
This is a necessary step for those cultivators who sell supernatural powers and techniques. If they don't swear an oath to the person who bought the supernatural powers, the person who bought them will spread them widely, and the cultivators will not make any profit.
It was precisely because the supernatural power technique contained a life vow that it was possible to purchase the supernatural power technique with just over a hundred bottles of Chaos Elixir.
Of course, the oath of destiny does not exist for Yunhua, as the Samsara Realm imprint within him can easily shield the power of the oath of destiny.
The Seven Killings Hall. A True Immortal in black robes came forward to greet them.
"Senior, is there anything you need?" the immortal asked.
"Bring out all the techniques and secret arts of the Fire Path for me to see," Yunhua said casually.
"Senior, please look..."
A day passed, and Yunhua changed identities more than a dozen times, ultimately spending all three thousand cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid. In return, he acquired thousands of different fire-elemental supernatural abilities and secret techniques.
After spending his time in Yibo City, Yunhua quickly left and settled in a desolate place in the Great Mo Eternal Realm, where he then entered into seclusion to cultivate.
"Phew!" Back in his immortal abode, Yunhua quickly took out a huge treasure cauldron and a crimson divine sword, which was none other than the divine sword Ziguang Qiong.
This time in Yibo City, Yunhua not only purchased supernatural powers and secret techniques, but also some fragments of magical treasures. These items were all used to repair the divine sword Ziguang Qiong.
In fact, during the hundreds of years that Yunhua spent in the Chaos, he had already collected most of the magical artifact fragments needed to repair the divine sword Ziguang Qiong.
The fragments he bought in Yibo City were only to complete the final piece he needed. After all, he had spent hundreds of years wandering in the chaos, and those years were not for nothing.
"I wonder what kind of power an eternal divine weapon with its own origin would possess." Yunhua was also somewhat looking forward to it.
The name "Yibo" in Yibo City doesn't reveal any secrets about the Eternal Emperor, but perhaps some can be gleaned from this Eternal Divine Sword.
Yunhua sat cross-legged in his immortal abode, and with a wave of his hand—"Clang!"
Instantly, a massive amount of fragments of magical artifacts and weapons piled up into a small mountain. One could see the broken Heavenly Blade, the cleaved shield, the battered and twisted cauldron, the broken and tattered banners...
A large number of fragments of magical treasures appeared before Yunhua, the worst of which were fragments of innate spiritual treasures, and most of them were fragments of chaotic supreme treasures.
If these weapons were intact, they would not have been able to be obtained at such a low price. However, the only use of damaged weapons is to extract their essence for repairing other weapons.
"Boom!!"
Yunhua casually waved his hand, and pure magical power, carrying fragments of the magical treasure, rapidly surged into the cauldron. This cauldron was also a divine weapon of the Dao, a spoil of war that Yunhua obtained after slaying a Chaos Immortal in the Chaos Realm.
Because she still needed it, Yunhua did not sell the divine weapon.
Extracting the essence using a divine weapon of the Dao is naturally incredibly swift. This mountain-sized mountain of magical artifact fragments was instantly reduced to a pile of rubble. A massive amount of essence was extracted.
"We can begin the final repairs now!" With a thought, Yun Hua sent the divine sword Zi Guang Qiong flying into the air. Then, the essence of the materials transformed into streams of air that enveloped the divine sword and seeped into it little by little.
This divine sword appears to be perfectly intact on the surface, but in reality, it is severely damaged inside. However, now that Yunhua has extracted a massive amount of essence and infused it into the sword, it has begun to be repaired little by little.
"Chichi!"
The countless damaged parts inside the divine sword began to frantically absorb essence, repairing itself bit by bit, gradually approaching the source from the outside in. However, as it approached the source, the repair speed slowed down.
Fortunately, Yunhua has been refining the essence of materials over the past few hundred years to repair the divine sword, so the final essence is repairing it very quickly.
Time passed little by little, and three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!" Finally, when the divine sword was completely repaired, the entire divine sword erupted with a terrifying aura; at the same time, the blood-red sword light spread forward like ripples on water.
Chapter 1059 Comprehension and Cultivation
"Boom!!" With almost no resistance, the restrictions in Yunhua's immortal mansion collapsed instantly like tofu dregs under the divine power of the divine sword.
Compared to its previous damaged state, the power of the Divine Sword Purple Light Jade has now increased by hundreds of times.
Yunhua immediately summoned it, and the light within the divine sword slowly dissipated, the sword drifting into Yunhua's palm.
"What a powerful divine sword!" Yunhua exclaimed, while he also poured the blue-and-white mist into the divine sword.
Only with such power in his hands could he possibly wield the divine sword.
But in that very instant—"The sword is like water, the sword is like blood..."
An almost imperceptible murmur emanated from the very source of the divine sword.
In that instant, Yunhua seemed to see a solitary, proud figure before her eyes. That figure was like an unparalleled divine sword, and she could almost see stars shattered, the universe torn apart, all living beings perished, and blood flowing for miles under its blade...
This is an extremely terrifying sword intent, as if the endless chaos is about to be torn apart.
Half a day later, Yunhua finally broke free from that sword intent.
"So that's how it is. This is the sword intent of the Eternal Emperor." Yun Hua realized that this sword intent, which carried eternity and a state of perfect satisfaction, was somewhat similar to the three great sword techniques of the Shrouding the Heavens world.
"So, does that mean the Eternal Emperor is equivalent to the Immortal King in the world of Shrouding the Heavens? The Supreme is equivalent to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor? And the Controller is the Immortal Emperor?" A vague guess appeared in Yun Hua's mind.
"An eternal divine weapon, truly worthy of being called an eternal divine weapon..." Yun Hua closed his eyes, once again comprehending this sword intent.
This time, he took the initiative to comprehend it, and it took him three whole months to emerge from this sword intent. Although he failed to comprehend the sword path of the original owner of the divine sword, the baptism of eternal sword intent did give Yunhua's fire element path a faint sign of further advancement.
However, in the end, Yunhua's mental strength still failed to break through and undergo a qualitative change, and it seemed that there was no hope for the mental strength of the fourth realm.
"The divine sword is repaired. Next, it's time to study those thousands of supernatural powers and secret techniques!" Yun Hua put the divine sword back in, and then with a wave of his hand, he repaired all the arrays and restrictions in the immortal mansion. Finally, he began to quietly study those secret techniques.
"The Seven Fires Secret Technique selects seven specific world-god level flames, then uses a secret technique to melt them together, finally transforming them into a seed of the secret technique."
The method of fusing flames inherent in this secret technique is quite commendable. Hmm, I've gathered all seven specific flames required by the technique; I can begin cultivation immediately.
"The Flame Blade Divine Ability is indeed an explosive type of divine ability. Cultivation requires both fire power and blade power, which I also meet. This divine ability has given me a completely new idea, a completely new idea of fusing fire power and blade power... although I have already fused these two powers."
"The Nine-Nine Flame Array can unleash eighty-one different flames simultaneously, and then use them to form an array to fight enemies; this is something I hadn't thought of before, and I need to study it carefully."
For the next few years, Yunhua stayed here to study and practice the supernatural and secret techniques he had bought.
These supernatural abilities and secret techniques were all things that Yunhua had carefully considered and deliberated upon. They could basically be used to make up for Yunhua's own deficiencies and shortcomings in the Way of Fire. In addition to their power, the most important thing about each supernatural ability and secret technique was its inspiration for his understanding of the Way of Fire.
Time passed little by little as Yunhua pondered various secret techniques.
"What a miraculous method!" Yunhua thought to himself after comprehending one of the methods.
"This method is ingenious and simply unbelievable. The mental energy is integrated with the power of fire, and it can actually form such a terrifying flame." Yunhua kept thinking, observing, and carefully comprehending every detail of each method.
During this time, he could sense the ingenuity of each method, and he could also sense the understanding of "fire" in the hearts of the powerful individuals who created these methods.
Although these methods do not explicitly reveal the traces of the Great Dao, Yunhua can gradually understand them through the principles contained within them.
"The flames of this supernatural power, though not particularly strong, are quite domineering, seemingly carrying an air of self-importance; they are a very idealistic kind of fire."
"This supernatural power enters the path through emotions. This flame rises and falls with the tides of the heart, carrying with it a mournful aura. It destroys all things amidst lamentation, transforming all the sorrow in one's heart into flames, igniting everything..."
"This flame is indeed swift and unpredictable... It's like both fire and wind, but it's completely different from the flame I previously comprehended from wind and thunder. It's taken an unorthodox approach."
"Hmm, there's also this insidious flame... It must be a flame formed by incorporating the power of shadow."
Yunhua comprehends various secret techniques, and each technique and supernatural power evokes a different feeling.
He was completely immersed in the ocean of secret arts, which were basically created by ancestral gods, ancestral immortals, world gods, and chaos immortals.
Thousands of different secret techniques, secret techniques of the fire path created by different cultivators; Yunhua was too shocked, he had never felt like this before.
Whether it was the inheritance from the Northern World God, the hundreds of years of enlightenment in the Chaos, or the supernatural powers and secret techniques obtained from killing so many World Realm beings in the Chaos, none of them were as great as the gains from this seclusion.
Thousands of fire-based magical arts and secret techniques were displayed before my eyes, an experience unlike any other.
After all, these secret techniques were carefully selected by Yunhua after he had seen all the supernatural abilities and secret techniques sold in Yibo City, in order to make up for his own shortcomings.
"The way of fire is so dazzling, and the types and characteristics of fire in this world are too numerous and intricate."
"All things in heaven and earth can be manifested through the Way of Fire. Fire is both a part of heaven and earth and can encompass all things in heaven and earth. Chaos was divided into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang gave rise to the Four Symbols, from which flames were born. The source of fire at the deepest part of endless chaos is definitely one of the most powerful sources."
The more Yunhua pondered, the more he understood just how brilliant the Fire Path of this world truly was.
The more Yunhua pondered, the more he understood what was missing from his flames, which was why he couldn't break through to the sixth realm of supreme fire power.
As Yunhua pondered this, a forest naturally appeared in his mind—a forest of the Fire Path.
Each flame represents a small tree, like a branch; the more flames you master, the more prosperous and flourishing your forest will be.
As Yunhua comprehended the path, the forest of fire within his heart grew ever more lush; but as he comprehended it, countless flames also merged within his heart, so the final result was that the branches of the tree began to merge and connect.
The originally tens of thousands of tangled branches began to merge, first increasing to thousands, then hundreds, then tens...
With each fusion of a branch, the remaining branches would grow taller; and Yunhua's cultivation of the Fire Path would also grow little by little in this process, becoming stronger and stronger.
As this process unfolded, a strange feeling gradually arose in Yunhua's mind. It was as if all flames could be cultivated on their own, given enough time and research.
It was a very strange feeling.
Chapter 1060 Breakthrough
It should be known that there are countless kinds of flames in the endless chaos, each with its own unique characteristics. They are all products of the mysterious creation of heaven and earth. Even world gods and even more powerful Dao Lords must search for a certain flame in the chaos.
But in that instant, Yunhua felt that there were no more mysteries to be found in the myriad flames of heaven and earth, as if he had exhausted the secrets of the world's flames.
"No, this feeling should just be an illusion; with my current level, I can't be said to have exhausted the mysteries of the myriad flames. What I've exhausted can only be considered the flames of the World Realm level, which is still a long way from the true myriad flames of chaos." Yun Hua opened his eyes, and he realized.
That feeling was just an unconscious sense of swell within me after the breakthrough.
“Right now, I’m only at the Ancestral God Realm, but I can already control the myriad flames at the World Realm level; when I reach the World Realm, I will be able to control various Dao Flames at the Dao Lord level; and when I cultivate to the Dao Lord level, the power will be unimaginable!” Yun Hua couldn’t help but feel excited.
"If I follow this path of controlling all fire, I will surely reach the ultimate 'Fire Path'," Yunhua thought to himself. At this moment, he was more confident than ever before, confident that he could comprehend the ultimate point of the Fire Path in this world.
"However, since I've already reached this level, I might as well break through!" Yun Hua thought to himself and immediately decided to break through his current level.
Suddenly——
"Boom!" The heavens and earth trembled, and the power of chaos surged. Countless cultivators in the Great Mo Eternal Realm seemed to sense something and immediately looked in the direction of Yun Hua's breakthrough.
"Someone has broken through to the World Realm? Is it a World God or a Chaos Immortal?"
"How could there be such a terrifying sight? This chaotic power is more than ten times what I had back then! Could it be that a super prodigy ancestral god is breaking through?"
"Terrifying! Such surging chaotic power! He must have already reached the level of a Dao Lord of Life and Death after just breaking through!" Many powerful figures seemed to sense something and looked towards Yun Hua's direction.
Yunhua's breakthrough this time was so significant that it even triggered a massive chaotic vortex outside the Great Mo Eternal Realm, covering a large area and causing many cultivators heading to the Great Mo Eternal Realm to feel awe and fear.
After creating a thousand clones, Yun Hua's breakthroughs were incredibly powerful, especially now that he had broken through to the World Realm. The chaotic vortex he triggered even exceeded the range of several chaotic worlds.
"Is such a terrifying chaotic vortex being created by some powerful beings in the Great Mo Eternal Realm?" Many people who came to the Great Mo Eternal Realm for the first time stared in astonishment at the chaotic vortex before them.
