Chapter 1415: Peak of the Sixth Layer of the Saint Domain

The Technique Forest had only one path, with stone tablets on both sides. Looking closely, one could see small figures carved on them, slowly moving across the surface as if practicing some profound martial art.

The movements of these small figures were slow, as if shrouded in a thin mist. Even with careful observation, it was difficult to discern in a short time what exactly was being cultivated.

However, Zhang Xuan did not need to study them. Instead, he murmured inwardly, "Flaws!" and looked again.

"Illusory True Profound Dragon Art, Blazing Sun True Fire Technique, Profound Darkness Ancestral Force, Rippling Divine Art..."

One book after another appeared in his mind.

These were not only techniques of the Domain Realm but also some that reached the Void Realm, all of very high levels. Following their cultivation could allow rapid progress in cultivation and grant combat power beyond ordinary people.

"Those who can enter the inner courtyard are geniuses, and those who left these techniques are geniuses among geniuses, figures that dominated an era..."

Sighing with emotion, he walked forward.

Once a technique was collected into the library, it quickly became his knowledge, and he understood clearly whether it was good or bad.

Although they could not compare to ultimate techniques like the Derivation Heaven Scripture, they were definitely top-tier at the eight-star master teacher level.

Any one of them, if spread, would likely cause a huge sensation and be fought over by countless people.

To enter the inner courtyard of the Saint Son Hall, one only needed to reach eight stars in the corresponding profession. Even someone like Bi Hongyin, with the demonic sound profession, could come and learn. From this alone, one could see the breadth of mind of the Saint Son Hall.

It truly achieved teaching without discrimination.

As for why ordinary students were not allowed to learn, it was because with insufficient talent, forcibly learning advanced techniques would not only fail to bring rapid improvement but also cause greater hidden dangers, ultimately leading to unpredictable results.

It was like a child who could barely get three meals a day suddenly being placed in a wealthy family and allowed to enjoy unimaginable luxury. Not only would it be unhelpful, but it would also bring great harm. Once returned to the starting point, the child would immediately feel despair and find it even harder to progress!

"Others can at most memorize one technique and acknowledge one method in a day, but I can collect all the techniques..."

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth lifting.

The techniques here were diverse, and many stone tablets even contained the will of the technique creators. Not to mention new inner courtyard students, even Master Zhan could not learn them all.

But he was different. Wherever his gaze fell, techniques were automatically collected, and even flaws were marked. There was no issue of willingness or unwillingness.

As long as he wanted, he could collect all the techniques and make them his own.

He walked forward slowly, continuously collecting.

The entire Technique Forest, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, contained over a thousand techniques. Before long, he reached the end.

"Merge!"

With a thought.

Two books appeared in his sea of consciousness, one for the Domain Realm and one for the Void Realm.

After flipping through them, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

The Domain Realm technique was as he had guessed, reaching the Heavenly Dao level, but the Void Realm technique still had several flaws, clearly indicating that the number of collected books was insufficient.

"Master Zhang, how... not a single one acknowledged you?"

Seeing him walk out of the Technique Forest without any unusual signs, Master Zhan frowned.

This young man, whether in talent or strength, had reached an astonishing level. How could the Technique Forest not acknowledge him at all? After walking a full circle, he hadn't learned a single technique?

"I didn't circulate my technique!"

Zhang Xuan smiled.

He had just casually looked around and collected the manuals, without circulating his technique. It was normal not to be acknowledged.

Besides, he cultivated the Heavenly Dao technique. Which ancestor would be blind enough to acknowledge him?

"To pass through the Technique Forest, one must circulate a technique. Only then can one gain the acknowledgment of the ancestors and learn more profound secret arts. Just walking around like this... without understanding anything, it's useless..."

Master Zhan hurriedly said.

"It's fine. I've already obtained what I wanted. Is there a quiet room for cultivation here? I'll digest it and cultivate; it should improve my strength a bit."

Knowing that even if he explained more, the other party would find it hard to understand, Zhang Xuan was too lazy to say much.

"A quiet room—there's one over there. It has a spirit-gathering array and can converge spiritual energy..."

Zhan Shi pointed.

The Martial Arts Pavilion, being a place for learning, naturally had spaces for comprehension and breakthrough. Zhang Xuan nodded, turned around, and walked over, pushing open the door to enter the room.

It was a place specially used for cultivation, with even richer spiritual energy, completely isolated from all sound and detection, ensuring absolute quiet.

Sitting down, he observed for a while and found it absolutely safe. Only then did Zhang Xuan breathe a sigh of relief. Flipping his wrist, he took out all the top-grade spirit stones given by Sun Qiang and Zhang Chun.

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the demand for spiritual energy from the Heaven's Path technique. But ten top-grade spirit stones should be more than enough to break through to the peak of the Domain Realm.

Grasping the spirit stones, the cultivation technique for the Domain Realm flowed slowly in his mind. After adjusting for who knows how long, his mind stirred.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!

Spiritual energy immediately surged like a breached dam into his meridians, transforming into Heaven's Path true energy, nourishing his entire body.

Crack!

Before long, he indeed broke through the shackles of the Half-Step Domain Realm. His original domain of one meter expanded rapidly, soon reaching a range of ten meters.

Not only that, his domain was also thicker and heavier than that of ordinary cultivators, making anyone trapped within feel as if they were bound by ropes, unable to escape.

Although the range was only ten meters, in terms of domain quality, it was no weaker than that of a peak Domain Realm expert.

"Continue!"

Knowing the wonders of the Heaven's Path technique, Zhang Xuan was not surprised. Smiling lightly, he continued cultivating, and his overall cultivation level rapidly increased under the circulation of true energy, growing stronger and stronger.

Early Domain Realm!

Mid Domain Realm!

Late Domain Realm!

Realm peak!

Two hours later, his strength had already reached the peak of the sixth level of the Saint Domain, only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the seventh level.

With the breakthrough in cultivation, his domain expanded to a range of fifty meters, more than double the twenty meters of an ordinary domain peak powerhouse.

Not only that, but it also formed its own space. When an outsider's divine sense entered, it was automatically isolated, as if falling into a folded space. From this alone, it was clear that his domain was in no way inferior to the Entering Void domain of a seventh-level Saint Domain cultivator.

"With my current strength, even without using my clone, I can easily crush Zhang Chun..."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, speculating to himself.

With his strength at the domain peak, Zhang Chun, who was at the Entering Void level, was no longer a match. If they fought again, he could definitely crush him with ease.

He no longer had to be as passive as before.

However, Zhang Chun had been beaten up by the clone and surely hadn't recovered yet. Coupled with the threat of Luo Xuanqing, who had already broken through, he probably wouldn't have an easy time even without Zhang Xuan's intervention.

"The spiritual energy of top-grade spirit stones is indeed abundant. I advanced a major level using only eight of them!"

No wonder even people like Luo Xuanqing and Zhang Chun had only a few of them. The purity of the spiritual energy far exceeded imagination. He had thought ten might barely suffice, but unexpectedly, he succeeded with just eight.

While he was cultivating step by step and advancing his strength, Master Zhan, standing outside, frowned.

Other students, upon entering the Technique Forest, would operate their techniques at full power, hoping to gain recognition. But this one, after a casual glance, went into seclusion...

Could it be that he looked down on these techniques?

"Could it be that he lied, actually operated a technique, but didn't gain the recognition of any ancestor?"

Puzzled, he couldn't help but look at the many stone tablets before him.

The moment he looked, he involuntarily stopped.

He saw that the human-shaped patterns carved on the stone tablets seemed to have encountered something they revered. Instead of demonstrating techniques, they huddled in the corners of the tablets, trembling, not daring to move.

"Technique suppression, reverence born from awe... Could this be an ancient saint technique? Could it be... that this Master Zhang has received direct transmission from an ancient saint?"

His pupils contracted, and Master Zhan clenched his fists.
