Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Divine-Rank Technique

The supervisor gave a mysterious smile. ”Of course! For any disciple who enters our Qingyun Sect, the grade of the Cultivation Technique they can obtain is deeply connected to their innate talent!

”Cultivation Technique grades, from highest to lowest, are divided into Divine-Rank, Heaven Rank, Earth Rank, Mysterious Rank, and Yellow Rank. Each rank is further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades!

”Our Qingyun Sect has a legacy spanning tens of thousands of years, and the Transfer Technique Hall has accumulated a vast number of Cultivation Techniques. Disciples with average talent can obtain Yellow Rank techniques, those with exceptional talent have a chance to obtain Mysterious Rank techniques, and those with heaven-defying talent might even acquire Earth Rank or even Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques!”

Upon hearing the supervisor’s words, all the young disciples present widened their eyes in astonishment.

Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique!

Earth Rank Cultivation Technique!

This was something they didn’t even dare to dream of!

After all, the techniques they practiced in their respective clans were merely Yellow Rank. Even a Mysterious Rank technique was immensely tempting, to say nothing of an Earth Rank one!

”Quick! Into the Transfer Technique Hall!”

”I can’t wait to choose a Cultivation Technique!”

”I want to try my luck, too!”

Led by the supervisor, the group of young disciples walked into the Transfer Technique Hall.

Ye Qingchen and Ye Ying also followed the crowd inside.

Upon entering the hall, rows of dazzling shelves appeared in their view, lined neatly with Cultivation Technique Scrolls. There were at least ten thousand of them, perhaps even more!

The young disciples’ eyes went wide.

This sect’s foundation is truly profound!

The Qingyun Sect truly lived up to its name as the number one sect in the Northern Desolate Country. The sheer number of techniques it possessed completely exceeded their imagination!

”Is this where we will choose our Cultivation Techniques?” a young girl with her hair in twin braids asked curiously as she looked at the supervisor.

The supervisor smiled and shook his head. ”No! The techniques here are for disciples who have already made contributions to the sect to observe and borrow. As long as you earn enough sect contribution points, you can spend them to borrow any Cultivation Technique you desire. After all, not every new disciple manages to choose their ideal technique on the first try!”

The supervisor led the outer sect disciples through a side passage. After a check by the guards at two large doors, the group arrived in a long corridor.

”Open the energy barriers!”

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

At the supervisor’s command, lights began to flare up one after another, illuminating the pitch-black corridor.

A series of glowing technique light barriers appeared before them. Within each one rested a Cultivation Technique!

”This is where you will choose your Cultivation Techniques! The brighter the light from the technique light barrier, the higher the grade of the technique. However, I advise you to be pragmatic and not bite off more than you can chew. If you choose a technique whose grade is too high, far surpassing your own ability, you risk exhausting all your strength for nothing. You might end up unable to open even the dimmest light barrier. Should that happen, you will have wasted this opportunity and will forfeit the technique you are awarded for joining the sect!”

The supervisor reminded the outer sect disciples, ”Each of you now has four hours to select and study a Cultivation Technique. Once that time is up, you must leave!”

Do not be overly ambitious!

The outer sect disciples committed the supervisor’s words to memory.

Ye Ying furrowed her lovely brows and asked, ”Senior, with so many technique light barriers, how are we supposed to determine which one is suitable for us?”

The supervisor gave another mysterious smile. ”Whether it’s suitable or not... you’ll know as soon as you approach them!”

Hearing this, the outer disciples, still filled with doubt, walked into the corridor.

The burly young man at the front gasped in surprise. He discovered that the first technique light barrier was emitting a suction force, pulling him closer.

In the next moment, a description of the Cultivation Technique Scroll appeared on the light barrier:

”Yellow-Rank Superior-grade Cultivation Technique, Thick Earth Technique, Attribute: Earth!”

The burly young man exclaimed, ”My Five Elements attribute is Earth! As I walked past, this Earth-attribute Cultivation Technique was drawn to me!”

Ye Ying’s eyes lit up. ”So that’s how it works! I understand now! When a Martial Artist approaches a technique light barrier that matches their attribute, the light barrier will naturally react!”

The outer disciples were instantly overjoyed and began to move quickly through the corridor!

Ye Ying looked toward Ye Qingchen. ”I’m going to choose my technique now! Good luck!”

”Alright!”

Ye Qingchen nodded, watching as Ye Ying strode off on her long legs, quickly making her way through the corridor.

Ye Qingchen did not proceed as quickly as the other outer disciples.

The corridor is simply too long, stretching farther than the eye can see. The number of techniques here is likely no less than in the hall outside. If I scan them superficially like the others, I’ll only be able to sort the techniques by attribute, but I won’t be able to make a final decision! Therefore, the best method is to filter down to a precise target and then figure out a way to obtain it in one fell swoop!

”Hahaha, this Earth-Rank Inferior-grade Cultivation Technique is a perfect fit for me! I’ll take this one!”

In the corridor, an outer disciple laughed loudly and excitedly pressed his hands onto the technique light barrier!

BUZZ!

A moment later, a blinding red light erupted from the technique light barrier. The outer disciple lasted only three seconds before he screamed and fell to the ground, unconscious.

What just happened?

The sudden turn of events stunned all the outer disciples.

”Carry him away!”

The supervisor gestured. Two figures emerged from the darkness and carried the unconscious disciple away.

”I warned you all before not to be overambitious and overestimate your own abilities. Otherwise, you’ll end up just like him, wasting this opportunity the sect has given you to choose a Cultivation Technique!” the supervisor said with a smile, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the disciples.

A look of understanding dawned on their faces, quickly replaced by solemn expressions.

It was true that the technique light barriers held enticing Earth-Rank techniques, but they had to possess enough ability to actually claim one!

After pacing back and forth in the corridor, many outer disciples began to select the technique light barriers they deemed suitable and attempted to open them.

Ye Ying also stopped before a red technique light barrier. She pressed her palms against it and channeled all her Spiritual Power, attempting to force it open.

After ten minutes or so, only Ye Qingchen and the burly young man who had previously mocked him had yet to choose a technique.

Ye Qingchen paced the corridor. He sensed dozens of Wood Attribute techniques calling to him, among which were several powerful Earth-Rank ones.

However, he didn’t find any of the Heaven-Rank Cultivation Techniques the supervisor had mentioned.

His gaze fell upon a narrow side path in the middle of the corridor. With a flicker of thought, the Dual Pupil Martial Soul in his sea of consciousness slowly opened its eyes. The world before him instantly changed!

Along this narrow path, even the weakest techniques within the light barriers were Earth Rank!

There were even a dozen or so Heaven-Rank techniques!

Ye Qingchen even saw a Divine-Level Cultivation Technique among them.
