Inside the Technique Hall.

    Lucian was reading a worn-out book in his hand.

    The book had a cover made of beast-skin and was titled "A Guide to the Qi Gathering Realm."

    After reading it thoroughly, he realized: "So, this is what the Qi Gathering Realm is.

    According to the book, there are a total of three hundred and sixty meridians in the human body, forming the Grand Circulation.

    As more Meridians are opened, the rate of Spiritual Energy absorption increases.

    And the way to break through in the Qi Gathering Realm is to use the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth to enter the body and slowly open more Meridians.

    At the same time, open "Forty Meridians" in one go, resulting in a stable spiritual path circulation.

    Only in this way, one can the breakthrough be completed, and enter the next small stage.

    Furthermore, the nourishment of Spiritual Energy will naturally result in a dramatic increase in lifespan and an evolution of one''s "Life Level".

    As long as one remains consistent, they can break through.

    The ancient book in his hand provides a detailed explanation of the realm.

    In the outside world, this item was valuable enough to start a bloodbath!

    However, in the Azure Sword Sect, there were dozens of copies of such books.

    They were casually placed on the first floor, available for the disciples to browse.

    However, the book cover had a small Array Formation patterns. Once someone took it out of the Azure Sword City without permission, it would be immediately exposed and self-destruct.

    After carefully reading the contents on it, he had a clear map of the meridians in his mind.

    He slowly closed his eyes.

    His Qi Sense sunk into his inner body, and in an instant, he found the three hundred and fifty blocked meridians. He had already unblocked ten of them before.

    ''So this is how it is!''

    As a cultivator, his memory had become incredible. Now, with his heightened senses, he had already memorized the whole meridian pathways.

    Beside him, Isabella was engrossed in the same book, her brows furrowed in concentration. Her blue eyes darted back and forth across the pages, reading with an intense focus.

    Lucian smiled softly at his sister before turning his attention to the vast array of bookshelves surrounding them. Lucian began to search for books related to the Cultivation World.

    He soon found what he had been looking for.

    Lucian''s eyes lit up as he found a book titled "General Geography of the Shattered Heaven Continent."

    As he read, a vivid map of the world unfolded before him. The Azure Sword Sect, was located in the western part of the vast Continent, near the coastal regions where Spiritual Energy was relatively sparse compared to the Continent''s interior.

    The Shattered Heaven Continent had a different name long ago, but when a portion of it broke off and became mortal islands of little value, its name was changed.

    The book mainly detailed four main sects that dominated this region: the Azure Sword Sect, the Crimson Sky Sect, the Jade Leaf Sect, and the Golden Sun Sect.

    [Radiant Beauty (Blue)]: World-shattering beauty, unparalleled charm.

    [Sword Disciple (White)]: Provides an innate understanding of the sword, enhancing mastery over sword techniques.

    ---

    "Sister, your Element is related to ice, just like mother," Lucian said softly, looking at Isabella''s status panel.

    She, like Celine, had the Lunar Physique, but it was of a lower version.

    "However, here, there''s no exceptional ice cultivation technique available. So for now, focus on breaking through and reaching Qi Gathering realm. We can seek a more suitable technique for you in the future."

    Isabella''s eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement.

    "Really? I have an ice affinity? But how do you know, brother?"

    Lucian chuckled, patting her head affectionately, "Trust your big brother. I have my ways of knowing these things."

    "Fine..." She rolled her eyes, then said, "Then, I''ll check these Ice related techniques to understand a bit."

    "You can also check sword techniques."

    Isabella nodded and started browsing the techniques, her blue eyes scanning the introductions eagerly.

    Meanwhile, Lucian turned his attention to the "Attack Techniques" section.

    Although he had a long weapon related Innate Fate, he didn''t know which weapon would suit him best, so he began to browse palm and fist-related techniques for now. Find more to read at empire

    The first book that caught his eye was titled "Thunderclap Fist." Its introduction described the strikes would be as fast as lightning, capable of shattering boulders with ease.

    Next to it placed "Ironwood Palm," which if practice, would turn one''s hands as tough as ancient trees!

    Then he noticed another one that described a powerful fist technique that channeled the user''s qi into devastating strikes, each blow carrying the force of a dragon''s might.

    Finding no more interesting techniques, Lucian chose the "Dragon''s Might Fist" and moved to the movement section.

    For now, his bodily defense was sufficient, so if he had enough speed, he could easily catch opponents off guard.

    The movement techniques section was filled with an array of fascinating options. Lucian''s eyes darted from one title to another, each more intriguing than the last.

    "Cloud Step", "Wind Walker", "Shadow Glide", "Phantom Stride"...

    He began to read the introduction and finally his eyes lit up with interest. This technique seemed perfect for his needs.

    After choosing the two techniques, he didn''t leave immediately. Instead, he went to the "Defensive Techniques" section and started reading them.

    "Iron Skin", "Diamond Body", "Turtle Shell Defense"...

    Next, he found himself in front of the "Array Formation" shelf. The books here were thicker, and the covers were decorated with intricate patterns.

    Lucian picked up one titled "Basics of Defensive Arrays" and flipped through it. The pages were filled with complex diagrams and symbols that made his head spin.

    Moving on, he reached the "Alchemy" section. The scent of herbs seemed to waft from the books themselves.

    "Pill Refinement for Beginners", "Understanding Spirit Herbs", "How to use Earth Fire"...
