The most significant meaning of the Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skill for him was not for cultivation, but to glimpse into the essence of cultivation in this world based on its principles.
If we were to talk about strength, Lin Yuan, who had only descended into this world for slightly more than twenty years, had already surpassed all past Ancestral Sorcerers.
The hunched old man respectfully turned and left.
“My lord, all eight Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills are inside here.”
The hunched old man, using a specific technique, opened the box, which neatly contained a stack of booklets.
Without the specific technique, even if someone else acquired the box, it would be useless, as forcing it open would only trigger the self-destruct mechanism inside.
“How many witch crystals?”
Lin Yuan glanced at it and casually asked.
“One billion witch crystals for one Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skill, a total of eighty billion for all eight,” the hunched old man immediately replied.
To obtain these Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills, the Xueyu Tavern had paid a considerable price.
The key point was that the Xueyu Tavern, in selling these Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills, had to bear the risk of leakage.
Lin Yuan casually picked up one of the Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills, glanced through it in just a few looks, then moved on to the next one.
With the thought processing speed of a Tenth Rank being from the outside world, memorizing these brief text descriptions of the cultivation skills could not be simpler.
The hunched old man nodded.
Through years of interaction, he had come to trust Lin Yuan somewhat.
Such a Sorcerer Emperor Peak powerhouse wouldn’t stoop to defaulting on a debt of less than one hundred billion witch crystals.
“By the way, my lord.”
“The Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills obtained by Xueyu Tavern are all somewhat incomplete. The core and crucial parts are traditionally passed down orally, making them very difficult to obtain,” said the hunched old man as if he had just thought of something.
Without the most crucial core parts, it is difficult to practice these Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills deeply, and lacking certain key pieces of information could even lead to ‘deviation’ disasters.
Lin Yuan continued to rapidly flip through the booklets.
He wasn’t watching these Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills to cultivate them, but merely for reference.
He just needed to grasp the overall concept behind each of the Ancestral Sorcerer cultivation techniques.
Lin Yuan had finished looking through all Ancestral Sorcerer Level Cultivation Skills.
He then stood up and left.
The hunched old man bowed to see him off.
Once Lin Yuan had disappeared,
the hunched old man pondered with a thoughtful expression, “The lord purchasing so many Ancestral Sorcerer cultivation techniques, could it be that…”
The hunched old man swallowed hard, faintly suspecting something.
At the peak of a mountain,
Lin Yuan’s figure appeared, and he sat down cross-legged.
“These eight Ancestral Sorcerer cultivation techniques’ exposition of the essence of power is still not perfect; however, the represented direction does have many merits,” Lin Yuan thought quietly to himself.
Especially the ‘Changqing’ Cultivation Skill from the mysterious Changqing Ancient Country.
This particular cultivation technique provided Lin Yuan with the greatest enlightenment, which was longevity. Those who stepped into the Ancestral Sorcerer realm with this technique lived twice as long as other Sorcerers at the same level.
Of course, the ‘Changqing’ Cultivation Skill had its drawbacks as well; it wasn’t effective in direct combat. Although Changqing Ancestral Sorcerer lived the longest, his combat strength ranked at the very bottom amongst all the Ancestors in history.
But with Lin Yuan’s Against-Heaven’s Understanding, he could completely extract its essence and enhance the ‘longevity’ aspect of his own cultivation body.
He could even greatly boost the ‘longevity’ effect and shatter the theoretical limits of the ‘Changqing’ Cultivation Skill.
Longevity… for all the Myriad Tribes’ Powerhouses that have fallen into the Two-dimensional World, it is far more critical than one might imagine, and for Lin Yuan, it is an avenue of retreat.
If after three hundred years, when the Heavenly Gate opens, Lin Yuan cannot sweep across all the Eleventh Rank Peak life forms and reach the gate,
then he can only hope for the next opening of the Heavenly Gate.
And each opening of the Heavenly Gate occurs at intervals of ten thousand years.
Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario. With Lin Yuan’s Against-Heaven’s Understanding, with an equal starting point, after more than three hundred years of cultivation, those Eleventh Rank Peak life forms couldn’t possibly be his opponents.
“If I can fully integrate this Changqing Cultivation Skill into my own, I can extend my life by at least twenty to thirty thousand years,” Lin Yuan silently mused.
Here, the extension of life refers to the extension within this Two-dimensional World.
Living for twenty to thirty thousand more years, he could almost experience three to four Heavenly Gate openings.
With such an extended period, even if a Supreme Being descended, Lin Yuan was confident he could thoroughly overpower and crush them.
“Then there are the other seven Ancestral Sorcerer cultivation techniques, which can enrich my Ancestral Sorcerer level Dao path in exploring the essence of power,”
Lin Yuan’s mind swiftly processed the details and specifics of the Ancestral Sorcerer cultivation techniques, eventually assimilating them into his own and integrating them into the perfection of his Ancestral Sorcerer Realm.
Lin Yuan and Nalan, the Deputy Tower Master, exchanged information regularly.
Nalan and the human Evolvers had carved out a stronghold in the capital of an Ancient Country, using it to continuously develop and strengthen.
When it came to gathering intelligence, they far surpassed Lin Yuan.
“Galaxy Master, among the Myriad Tribes’ Powerhouses present in the Two-dimensional World, ninety-eight have definitively stepped into the Ancestral Witch Realm, and among them, nine Ancestral Sorcerers possess much stronger abilities, creating a noticeable gap from other Ancestral Sorcerers,” reported Nalan in a serious tone.
“Ninety-eight Ancestral Sorcerers?” Lin Yuan’s expression was solemn.
In the history of the Two-dimensional World, the birth of all Ancestral Sorcerers put together might not even total to ninety-eight.
Moreover, these ninety-eight Ancestral Sorcerers, although they belong to the Ancestral Sorcerer Realm, undoubtably have combat power far surpassing those native Ancestral Sorcerers from history.
