"Yes that"s right. I"ve been holding myself from entering the Core formation realm because I want to enter the second region while still in the Foundation establishment realm." Duan Li replied to them.

When they heard this, each showed some differrent expression. The Princ.i.p.al and Vice-Princ.i.p.al only shook their head slightly with a smile. Meanwhile, the Emperor, Fei Jin Fang and Liu Sheng Juan could only let out a long deep sigh.

At this stage, they could only accept Duan Li"s peculiarity and was no longer surprised.

Usually, cultivators would strive to enter another realm as quickly as they could. This was because, not only would it indicate that they were geniuses in cultivation, they would also attract fame and prestige that could open up a lot of opportunities offered by reputable clans.

These clans would take them in and basically became their sponsor for cultivation pills, manuals and other resources, in exchange for swearing loyalty to the clan and would try their best to elevate the clan"s prestige and honor.

However, this young man in front of them was different. There was no trace of such materialistic pursuit that could be seen within his eyes nor in his words. It was as if the other party was pursuing for something even higher!

Hais!

A person that was favored by the heavens, they truly are different from the rest!

"Very well. With your capabilities, I"m not even sure if there is anything that could stop you. Although, I would have to remind you, while you are indeed powerful on your own in terms of battle prowess, you could still be pressured by opponents who uses magic skill arts, especially s.p.a.ce magic. So be very careful and a.n.a.lyse your enemy thoroughly!" the Emperor said.

The Princ.i.p.al nodded, "His Majesty is correct. While most people preferred to fight things raw, some avoided their hands from getting dirty. This is especially the case for Spellcaster cla.s.s. So I advise you, to make full use of my previous "gift" to you to its maximum potential."

Hearing the word "gift", Duan Li quickly recalled that the Princ.i.p.al had sort of lended him "illegally" an ancient artifact called as the "Wisdom Stone", which was a property of the academy.

Although the wisdom stone"s ability to store information was not really that unique, as certain jade slips could also do the same thing, its memory capacity was so huge that it could collect all the important manual books in the entire Jixue Knight"s Academy!


"Oh? You"ve prepared a gift for him? Hmm.. here take this. This shall be my gift for you then." the Emperor pondered for a moment before materializing a manual book from his spatial ring.

This manual book has a golden cover, and an archaic air seemed to seep out from it. Just from a single glance, one could tell that this manual book was extremely old, judging from that worn out look of its cover.

Realizing the value of this manual book, the rest of them could not help but to have their hearts trepidate in surprise.

"Y-Your majesty! This manual book should not be.." Fei Jin Fang tried to dissuade the Emperor before the latter interjected with a wave of his hand.

"It"s fine. Besides, our entire future practically rests on his shoulder. The least we could do, is to make it lighter!" the Emperor chuckled, and then pa.s.sed on the book to Duan Li.

Receiving this manual book, Duan Li read its cover;

"Tri-Desolation Heavenly Arts"

After flipping a few pages, Duan Li also began to realize the book"s value.

"This is.." he said in astonishment.

The Emperor somehow felt a sense of achievement seeing the looks of surprise on Duan Li"s face. After all, it was always the other party that had astonished him time and again.

As expected of my family heirloom!

Smiling proudly, the Emperor clasped both hands to his back as he tilted his head upward and stared at the ceiling of the main hall. This ceiling was filled with many pictorial arts drawn delicately that possess numerous depictions of events throughout the history of the Jiu Empire.

"Before the founding of the Jiu Empire by our first Ancestor, Jiu Zhentian, we were.."

The Emperor began to tell the origin of his family and the Empire as a whole with a melancholic look, he recited the various historical events that lead to the formation of the manual book and how it has since been pa.s.sed on to the next Emperor in succession.

It was only after a long while that he finished telling the story. He then continued, "Although I did say that this manual book is a gift for you, I could not possibly pa.s.s this family heirloom to anyone, not even you. But the contents, that"s an entirely different matter altogether. Thus, I want you to memorize the contents of this book to the best of your abilities and.."

Before the Emperor could even finish his sentence, he could hear a loud "Pop!" sound. Turning around, he saw the other party had already closed the manual book tightly.

"Was it too difficult for him to comprehend?" the Emperor couldn"t help but thought of this.

The Emperor then shook his head with a smile, "Don"t worry, even I myself took 3 years to understand the first desolation. As it might be a little bit too advanced for you right now, it would take a while, so don"t be discouraged.."

"Huh? I"ve already finished memorizing them all.." Duan Li said with a confused look.

Pu!

The Emperor suddenly found his throat to close up so suddenly, causing him to choke.

Wait a moment, he only said that he had "memorized" them all, not "learnt" all 3 of them..

I have to retain my composure and dignity as the Emperor!

Ahem!

"Do you mean that you have only memorized, but not learnt them all?" he asked.

Hearing this, Duan Li threw him a weird look, "How could that be possible? Of course I could only memorized it your majesty. After all, the skill arts detailed in this book is extremely deep and complicated.."

The Emperor nodded in contentment and thought, "yes, this is how it should be.."

Duan Li then continued, "Such that I"ve only managed to fully understand the first desolation thus far.. I have to say, this book is truly formidable!" he said with a look of awe on him.

In fact, what he just stated was completely honest and devoid of any sense of bragging in it.

After all, he had already read through numerous manual books and within the time it took an incense stick to burn out, he could already finish reading and understand on how to roughly use the technique correctly!

Pu!

You "only" mastered the first desolation arts you said?

I took 3 whole years to comprehend the first desolation, yet you somehow managed to memorize the whole book and understood the very same first desolation arts in less than 30 breaths?

Am I really that incompetent?

At this moment, the Emperor"s mind flashbacked to all those years back then when his personal tutors all complimented him that he was an unparalleled genius..

Lies! All lies!

Hais!

Noticing the downcasted expression of the Emperor, Fei Jin Fang hurriedly stepped in, "How could that even be possible? No matter how talented you are, it would take at least a few days to.."

BOOMM!!

"First Desolation: Warring Intent!"

Hints of flames began to suddenly burn under Duan Li"s feet before rising upwards and then coelescing into a small ball of fire about the size of an adult"s palm, which floated on Duan Li"s back.

Seeing this, Fei Jin Fang almost bit his tongue out in shock. He then turned around and saw that the Emperor"s expression was far more dejected than before.

Hais!

"I"ve failed to protect the confidence of his majesty.."

All-Seeing Eye activate!

Duan Li then marvelled at the current flow of Qi inside his meridians and pathway channels. They were moving vigorously as if boiled by the flames itself!

"Experiencing it myself like this, although the amount of power-ups I could feel is not comparable to my Super mode, its still quite decent nevertheless!" Duan Li nodded in satisfaction.

The "Tri-Desolation Heavenly Arts", just like its name, comprises of three different skill arts. The first desolation, Warring Intent skill art was an overall boost to a cultivator"s offensive skill arts for as long as this skill remains active.

There were of course, other skill arts that could practically does the same thing, but in terms of effectiveness, this skill art was definitely among the best of the best!

On the other hand, his "Super" mode refered to him agitating the lightning element inside his dantian and fusing it with his spiritual Qi to elevate his overall attributes by at least 10 times more than normal!

Furthermore, ever since he had cultivated the Thunder tribulation from the heavens and created the All-Severing Great Axe which currently resides on his right arm, it was showing signs of fusing with the lightning element inside his dantian.

If one day that happened, then he could literally tapped into an even greater power boost! However, the only downside to this was that its spiritual Qi consumption was extremely demanding.

In normal situation where the surrounding spiritual Qi was not limited, he could maintain such form for a longer duration, but inside the Eternal maze for example, he would not be able to last long against powerful opponents with limited amounts of spiritual Qi he could absorb and use!

He had learnt all these from his previous experience in the first region of the Eternal Maze, and he could only manage to preserve his life by the skin of his teeth back then against the Elemental Spirit golem and the final boss.

Therefore, with this new skill art, although its not as powerful, but because its designed for "normal" cultivators that only uses one dantian, he could practically maintain this form for almost indefinitely if he control his output!

In addition, he could make necessary adjustment to the skill art and adapt it to his 3 dantian. But as for now, it was not necessary just yet.

"Haa.." the Emperor gave out a defeated and relenting sigh.

Ahem!

"Since his majesty has already given him a gift, it would be rude for me not to do the same.. let"s see.." Fei Jin Fang pondered for a moment before taking out something from his spatial ring.

Wengg!!

"Oh?" the crowd was surprised that the other party took his most prized possession out.

Is he planning to give it to him?

Looking at the object with a deep gaze, a lifetime"s memory was reflected on his eyes.

"Back when I was still a lowly Qi Condensation cultivator, I happened to stumble upon this treasure, and it had helped me immensely until I reached the state where I am right now.. but now, I will give it to you!" Fei Jin Fang threw a strange cube object towards Duan Li.

Catching it with a single hand, Duan Li peered through it.

"Tetra Soul Sense"

[Identifying complete.]

[The cube is of unknown origin power. It was used to contain one of the nine Eternal Qi of a supreme being.]

[DANGER!]

[Unable to continue a.n.a.lysis.]

Hearing this notification inside his head, Duan Li"s eyes narrowed.

"Eternal Qi?"
