The Myriad Techniques Secret Realm wasn’t large in space—it was like a small cave, with the surrounding walls carved into grid compartments, each filled with numerous books.

That’s right.

All martial arts, all divine abilities.

When Jun Changxiao walked inside, he first saw eight characters carved on the wall at the far end—Ten Thousand Dao Techniques, All Contained Within.

Does this mean the secret realm contains tens of thousands of martial techniques?

Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?

Jun Changxiao extended his divine sense outward, and after a rough count, he realized that this small cave indeed stored tens of thousands of books. He sighed in amazement: “Unbelievable!”

More precisely.

This secret realm was more like a professional archive.

Super-grade.

And newly purchased.

Gou Sheng was certain that anything placed inside would absolutely be world-destroying level.

“Whoosh!” He casually pulled out a book from a compartment and saw four characters written on it—’Great Collapse Dao Technique’—emanating a thick and fierce momentum.

Seeing the characters is like seeing the person.

The martial artist who wrote these four characters must have extraordinary strength!

Jun Changxiao immediately opened the first page, and after carefully reading the contents recorded within, shock surged in his heart.

This was an extremely domineering Dao technique divine ability. If cultivated to the extreme, not only could it shatter the void, it could even collapse the entire universe!

“That can’t be possible, right?”

Jun Changxiao felt a trace of doubt.

With his current top-tier Celestial Mystery Realm level, casually destroying a plane was child’s play, but shaking the entire universe seemed somewhat unrealistic.

Putting down the Great Collapse Dao Technique, Jun Changxiao picked up another book called ‘Heaven-Severing Dao Technique’. The description was similarly formidable—those who cultivated it to great accomplishment could shatter the Nine Heavens with one palm.

Well then.

They’re all quite fierce.

Jun Changxiao successively looked at other books, such as Stellar Dao Technique, and Boundless Dao Technique. Although the names were all different, their effects were similar—either destroying heaven and earth, or annihilating the universe, highlighting terror to the fullest extent!

“If I cultivate all of these to completion.” Gou Sheng shook his head and said: “Wouldn’t I be invincible?”

The system promptly threw cold water on him: “I’m afraid that with the host’s comprehension, you might not grasp even one in your entire lifetime.”

“Damn!”

Jun Changxiao said: “Am I really that weak in your eyes?”

“To be honest.”

The system said: “Without my help, the host is trash.”

This retort was extremely sharp.

Jun Changxiao said nonchalantly: “Have I been arrogant?”

“…” The system was immediately defeated by this statement, and sincerely sighed that when people are shameless, they truly are invincible under heaven!

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao got fired up and said: “You think I can’t do it, but I’ll cultivate it just to show you!”

With that said, he stored the Great Collapse Dao Technique in his spatial ring.

“If you’re capable, take a few more books and cultivate them all together.” The system mocked coldly.

“Tch.”

Jun Changxiao curled his lips and said: “Biting off more than you can chew—I understand that principle.”

He wasn’t greedy, he’d just select one book.

The secret realm had no restrictions and could be entered and exited freely, so there was actually no need to take several books out.

“Whoosh!”

He strode out of the Myriad Techniques Secret Realm.

“You all.” After coming out, Jun Changxiao looked at the disciples who had been eagerly waiting and said: “Can go in and experience it now.”

“Yes!”

Everyone excitedly rushed into the Myriad Techniques Secret Realm. When they saw that the grid compartments on the surrounding walls were all filled with martial arts manuals, they exclaimed in unison: “So many martial techniques!”

“What are you waiting for!”

Su Xiaomo raised her voice: “Hurry up and choose!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

The disciples didn’t randomly choose without discrimination, but stood before each stone wall carefully examining to select techniques suitable for themselves.

For example, Li Qingyang, because he had a lightning-attribute physique and lightning-attribute spirit seed, leaned toward lightning-attribute techniques in his selection. He ultimately chose a book called Thunder-Commanding Dao Technique. According to the description, after successful cultivation, he could summon ten thousand thunderbolts simultaneously to destroy all things in the world.

Just as everyone was earnestly selecting Dao techniques suitable for themselves, no one noticed He Wudi standing dazed before a wall.

This fellow was completely stunned, even his hands were trembling violently.

“Impossible…”

After a moment, He Wudi came to his senses and said in disbelief: “Impossible! Impossible!”

He came from the Land of Eternal Life and had cultivated many high-level martial techniques. He especially knew that in that world, there existed many profound and mysterious divine abilities. To distinguish them from ordinary ones, they were defined as Dao techniques!

That’s right.

These Dao techniques were the same Dao techniques written in these books.

He Wudi had once been fortunate enough to obtain one called the Body-Shifting Dao Technique, and after years of bitter cultivation had barely managed to grasp its rudiments.

Later, because the remnant scroll disappeared, he was hunted by various powerhouses. With no way out, he was forced to flee the Land of Eternal Life, and he was able to safely land in the Xingyun Continent thanks to this Dao technique.

People from the Land of Eternal Life could not and were not permitted to descend to lower realms, because it would disrupt the balance of heaven and earth.

Under normal circumstances, if He Wudi forcibly descended, he would need to endure the Heavenly Dao’s punishment. Especially when traversing the barrier, the friction and compression would cause his cultivation to decline until his physical body and soul completely disintegrated.

Simply put.

Any martial artist who descended would experience a certain death situation.

He Wudi was able to successfully land in the Xingyun Continent precisely because he cultivated the Body-Shifting Dao Technique. Although his level was reset to zero, he successfully preserved his physical body and prevented his soul from perishing.

Whenever he recalled the scene from that time, he would break out in a cold sweat and feel fortunate that through years of effort and by good fortune, he had obtained this Dao technique. Otherwise, the grass on his grave would already be several feet tall.

Why use the phrases “years of effort” and “good fortune” to describe it?

Because in the Land of Eternal Life, Dao techniques belonged to a particularly unique category of martial technique divine abilities. Without great background and great status, there were almost no channels to obtain them.

He Wudi had no power or influence and lived like a transparent being. Even after reaching the Saint-Monarch level, he only possessed one.

This shows.

How precious they were!

And now? Tens of thousands of Dao techniques were displayed before him!

No wonder He Wudi was shocked. If this were any martial artist from the Land of Eternal Life who hadn’t had much contact with the Eternal Ages Sect, suddenly seeing this scene, their eyeballs would definitely pop right out.

“Junior Brother He.”

Li Qingyang walked over, bumped him with his shoulder, and said: “Stop spacing out, hurry and choose one.”

“Oh oh.”

He Wudi hastily came to his senses, forcibly suppressed his inner joy, and began selecting from the dizzying array of Dao techniques. In his heart, he sighed: “If heaven gave me another chance, I would still choose to forcibly descend to the lower realm, just to join the Eternal Ages Sect and willingly become the last disciple admitted!”

“I’ll choose this one.”

In the distance, Li Fei selected a Dao technique.

From his expression and words, he seemed somewhat conflicted by the abundance of books, and decided to just casually pick one.

“Ah.”

He Wudi shook his head and thought: “Not knowing one’s blessings while enjoying them.”

The sect disciples hadn’t lived in the Land of Eternal Life, so even knowing the Dao techniques in the secret realm were exceptional, they didn’t think too much about it. He was different—he deeply understood that mastering one Dao technique would be completely sufficient to establish oneself in the world!

Previously, obtaining one Dao technique was a luxury. Now, looking around, they were everywhere. This made He Wudi’s heart surge, and he even began fantasizing—if he could comprehend several techniques and return to the Land of Eternal Life, wouldn’t he be able to establish a sect and dominate a region?

“Come on, be happy, there’s plenty of time anyway…” The disciples selecting Dao techniques suddenly heard singing. They all turned to look and saw Senior Brother He holding a book, pressing against the wall and twisting his body with hands and feet together. That expression and appearance was extremely punchable!
