Chapter 1042: Worship Me as Your Master, and I Will Teach You!

What the other said was not wrong. The first two were fine—as long as the secret wasn't discovered, using them in battle would definitely catch the opponent off guard.

But the third was genuinely the hardest to solve.

The reason he could cultivate this movement technique was that he possessed a special bloodline in his body, and his physical body was naturally strong. Even without training, he could easily operate it without collapsing. As for others, it was uncertain... This movement technique, though powerful, could not be mastered without a matching physical strength.

Forcing cultivation would instead cause the body to collapse, leading to a severe drop in cultivation.

This matter could only be understood through actual practice; it was a secret within secrets. The other had determined it with just one glance—his eyesight was too good... Was he really just a Saint Ascendant?

Seeing the other's expression, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

Even without the Library of Heaven's Path, he could find many flaws in the other's movement technique.

Back when he first cultivated the Heaven's Path Movement Technique, he had faced the situation where his physical strength was insufficient, his speed too fast, and he was on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Walker Without Boundaries was even faster, giving a sense of traversing space. If the physical body couldn't handle it, let alone executing it, the moment he moved, he might harm himself before harming the enemy.

The key point was that by the time the physical body reached that level of strength, one's strength would be extremely high. Even without using the movement technique, speed would be very fast, and learning it would be meaningless...

So no matter how eloquently the other spoke, one needed matching physical strength and abundant true qi; otherwise, it was all false and useless.

Of course, if one possessed both, mastering this technique would be like adding wings to a tiger, achieving true invincibility at the same level!

Therefore, he definitely wanted to learn it, but... making him worship the other as master was absolutely impossible!

"How about it? Am I correct?"

Having finished laughing, Zhang Xuan looked over, his eyes flickering.

"You are right. Therefore, this movement technique is only passed on to those with talent. You were able to pass through the lava, approach the outer seal, and destroy it, showing that your physical body has reached an extremely high level. You could also find direction in the Boundless Domain, indicating that your soul is strong and your true qi is abundant enough... You have passed the test and meet the conditions for cultivation. As long as you meet them, these are not problems..."

Pausing, the figure spoke.

Both the lava and the seal were tests he had left. The other had come here, proving he had passed and could cultivate this technique.

As long as one was suitable, these flaws would no longer be issues.

"I can cultivate it, but... I have the ability to improve this technique and make it more powerful... Would you like to hear it?"

Zhang Xuan smiled.

"Improve? Impossible!"

The figure shook his head.

His cultivation before death had reached a terrifying level, yet even he had not improved the technique. This person before him was only a Saint Ascendant—how could he succeed?

"Don't be so quick to deny. How about this: you let me take a look at the cultivation technique for Walker Without Boundaries, and I'll first point out a few flaws for you to hear. Whether I'm right or wrong, and whether there are any issues, you can decide afterward..."

Zhang Xuan said.

"This technique was originally meant to be passed on to you. Letting you see it is nothing, but... I am only a remnant soul, and the time I can stay is limited. If you really want to read it through, it would probably take several hours..."

The figure said.

The purpose of leaving this relic was to pass on his technique to later generations. This person before him was the chosen one, and the technique for Walker Without Boundaries would naturally be taught... However, this technique was profound and mysterious. Even if one was exceptionally talented, it would take several hours just to understand it, let alone find flaws!

He was a remnant soul with little time left. The other might not even finish reading before he disappeared, making it impossible to verify the truth of his words.

"Several hours? Not needed! Just show me the technique, and within a minute, I can find the loopholes and find ways to remedy them!"

Zhang Xuan smiled.

"One minute?"

The figure was skeptical. Pausing, he waved his hand, and a text resembling a Milky Way appeared before him.

It was the cultivation technique for Walker Without Boundaries.

Scanning it once, Zhang Xuan was inwardly shocked.

This technique, as the other had said, indeed had five levels, each representing a realm. Not to mention the final fifth level, even mastering the first level would greatly improve one's strength and greatly increase speed!

It was foreseeable that if he truly learned it, his combat power would become even stronger.

Though surprised inwardly, he did not show it on his face. Exhaling a turbid breath, Zhang Xuan smiled faintly again: "This technique is indeed unparalleled through the ages and admirable. However... if I'm not mistaken, it should have a total of nine flaws, right?"

"You..."

The figure trembled, startled.

This technique of his had once been reviewed by Master Kong, who indeed said it had nine flaws... However, Master Kong did not help correct them but pointed them out and let him find solutions himself.

When he established this relic, his strength had not yet reached its peak, and he hadn't found a solution, so he left the flawed technique as it was.

He didn't expect that the one to inherit it would judge this with just one glance... His eyesight was too good!

"The first of these nine flaws: when cultivating the first level, true qi flows through the Bimen acupoint, causing temporary blindness. If one is unlucky, it could lead to permanent loss of sight... Am I correct?"

"This... is!"

After a pause, the figure nodded.

What the other said was exactly the same as what Master Kong had said back then, without the slightest difference.

And when he had first started cultivating the first level, he had indeed encountered the phenomenon of blindness. Fortunately, Master Kong had saved him, thus resolving the hidden danger.

"The reason this phenomenon occurs is because the true qi threads must pass through the [Bright Eye Acupoint]. The acupoints you have been channeling through are wrong. Once the correct sequence cannot be found... this situation arises!"

The library could not provide the correct cultivation method, but pointing out the flaws to convince him was something it could easily do.

"The second flaw is also in the first level. During cultivation, one must complete it in one go. If true qi is insufficient and one cannot enter the Divine Travel Acupoint, it is very likely to result in paralysis, making life worse than death..."

Without pausing, Zhang Xuan continued.

The traveler knows no bounds, wind rises beneath the feet, going farther, moving faster! To achieve this, one must open the legendary Divine Travel Acupoint.

This acupoint is located at the center of the sole, extremely difficult to open, and places great demands on the abundance and purity of true qi. The slightest deviation can cause total body paralysis, which is terrifying!

When he had cultivated back then, although he had narrowly escaped disaster, it was also a stroke of luck. For this reason, the several disciples he later took on were not as fortunate as he was. In the end, they failed to master the technique and instead lost the ability to walk.

Previously, he had always thought it was because these disciples lacked sufficient true qi and had weak bodies, and that as long as he found a cultivator with a bloodline as formidable as his own, it could be avoided... Now, Master Kong and this young man spoke with pinpoint accuracy, which probably meant... it was not as simple as he had imagined.

"The third flaw is in the second level. During cultivation, as true qi travels, heart demons arise..."

"The fourth flaw is in the third level..."

"The fifth flaw..."

...

Too lazy to waste words with the other, Zhang Xuan一口气 detailed all nine flaws.

These were all reflected by the library; he only needed to recite them, without spending too much thought.

"...This is the ninth flaw! So, how about it? Are these nine flaws correct or not, as I have stated?"

"This, this..."

The figure trembled, withdrew the river of characters in the air, and could not help nodding: "Yes, all correct!"

At this moment, his heart was filled with immense shock.

This technique consisted of over ten thousand characters. Even for him, fully understanding it once would take several hours. The other had only glanced at it, not even half a minute, and then spoke out the flaws, exactly matching what Master Kong had said back then... Such insight was terrifying!

Such talent was in no way inferior to that of Master Kong back in the day!

"Now do you believe that I can help you improve the technique?"

Zhang Xuan said.

"I believe..."

After a pause, the figure finally nodded.

If the other could spot the flaws in the technique at a glance, then correcting them to make it more perfect was probably something he could truly achieve.

"Good that you believe. By the way, I have something to ask you. Two years ago, did a group of masters come here? Do you know if they are still alive or dead?"

Zhang Xuan asked.

"People did come two years ago, but they did not leave the Boundless Realm within the allotted time, so they were not taught the technique... Instead, they were allowed to leave! However, they did not heed the advice and continued forward... This consciousness of mine is only left here; I am not clear about the situation in the later stages!"

The figure shook his head.

Although he was left behind by the founder of the ancient ruins, like the puppet guarding the pass, he could only manage matters of this stage. He could not see into the later stages and thus had no way of knowing.

"Alright..."

Hearing the explanation, Zhang Xuan understood.

He had thought he could get information from the other's mouth, but it seemed he still had to go through each stage one by one.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard the figure behind him speak out involuntarily: "Since you know how to correct it, could you tell me the correct technique?"

When he was left behind, these flaws had not yet been completely resolved. Therefore, even though he knew the problems, he had no way to fix them.

Although the time he could remain was short, if he could hear the correct cultivation formula once, it would not be in vain.

Hearing the Way in the morning, one may die content in the evening.

"You want to know how to resolve it?"

Zhang Xuan stopped and turned to look at him.

"Yes!" The figure nodded: "If I could hear it, I would be extremely grateful!"

The other had spotted the flaws in his technique at a glance, so he no longer dared to speak of teaching techniques. He only hoped to know the corrected cultivation method of the Boundless Traveler before he disappeared.

With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, exuding an unnamed aura, like a deity descending from the nine heavens.

"Kowtow to me as your master, and I will teach you!"
