Chu Fan left the place resentfully and headed to the next fortuitous encounter.
He swore that he would not let anyone else get there first this time!
If anyone dared to snatch what belonged to him, he would eliminate them!
As his strength grew, Chu Fan's confidence also swelled.
However, Xu Chuan was unaware of everything that had happened here. He was currently staring intently at Tian Ye, wanting to see which martial skill he would choose.
An hour later, this chief disciple named Tian Ye put down the secret manual he was holding and proceeded to the third level where top-tier cultivation techniques and martial skills were stored.
The cultivation techniques and martial skills here, any one of them, were top-tier for the Divine Ability realm, treasured by the Holy Land. Cultivated to the extreme, they were incredibly powerful!
However, to prevent disciples from becoming overly ambitious, these top-tier cultivation techniques and martial skills were not complete.
To obtain the complete versions, one had to ascend to higher floors in the Scripture Tower.
And to move up, one had to diligently improve their cultivation.
This created a virtuous cycle.
It had to be said that the Holy Land had put great effort into the design of the Scripture Tower.
Xu Chuan witnessed Tian Ye taking out a martial skill from above and preparing to open it for examination.
Xu Chuan knew it was time for his appearance.
"Senior Brother, may I trouble you to lend me the cultivation technique you are holding for a look?"
Xu Chuan's voice immediately drew Tian Ye's attention. He looked up and was taken aback to see Xu Chuan.
However, he quickly recovered and handed the martial skill he was holding to Xu Chuan, saying with a smile.
"If True Disciple Xu wishes to see it, it is naturally permissible."
His smile contained three parts flattery, three parts envy, and three parts anticipation.
Although his cultivation was higher than Xu Chuan's, his status was inferior to that of Xu Chuan, a True Disciple. Everyone had to curry favor with him, and he was no exception.
Becoming a True Disciple was the goal he pursued his entire life.
Unfortunately, his chances of becoming a True Disciple were slim.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"I observe your countenance, Senior Brother. It seems you should have an aptitude for fist techniques. If you find your cultivation stagnant for a long time, you might consider focusing your efforts in this direction."
Seeing how understanding Tian Ye was, Xu Chuan casually offered a piece of advice, pointing out his current predicament.
Whether he believed it or not was no longer Xu Chuan's concern.
Tian Ye was taken aback by Xu Chuan's words.
He primarily cultivated sword techniques and had indeed been stuck for a long time, which was why he came to the Scripture Tower seeking a solution.
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, it was as if a door had been opened in his mind.
"Thank you, True Disciple Xu, for your guidance!"
His face displayed ecstatic joy. He had not expected to find a solution in the Scripture Tower.
True Disciple Xu is truly a good person!
He couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Xu Chuan, after obtaining the martial skill, turned and entered a cultivation chamber within the Scripture Tower, preparing to study this fist technique.
He opened the scroll, and four large characters caught his eye.
"Sun God Fist!"
Xu Chuan softly read out the title of the book.
The name alone held immense appeal for him.
Let alone the content within.
Xu Chuan was absolutely certain that this fist technique was tailor-made for him!
The scroll slowly unfurled.
The characters on the scroll transformed into beams of golden light, condensing in the air into a golden humanoid figure. The figure assumed a stance for throwing a punch.
Its entire body shone with golden light, and combined with the stance, it exuded a powerful aura.
Then, it threw a punch, the fist energy surging like the breaking dawn of a great sun, intensely hot and immensely powerful.
Then, punch after punch followed, each punch carrying a sun, unstoppable and flawless.
Within ten feet, the punches were swift.
Forming a domain of fist techniques.
But this was not the end.
The humanoid figure's fist intent grew increasingly dense. When it reached its peak, it threw a punch, and behind it, a phantom of a sun appeared. Even the heavens and earth seemed to be shattered by this punch.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Chuan's face showed a look of surprise and delight.
This fist technique, combined with his Solar Sacred Body, would be complementary and possess infinite power!
Immediately afterward.
The phantom of the sun shone even brighter, dazzling to the eyes.
And the humanoid figure, bathed in this light, threw its final punch!
Boom!
With this punch, the sun extinguished, the world darkened, and life ceased to exist.
Everything vanished, returning to chaotic nothingness.
"What a powerful fist scripture!"
Xu Chuan seemed entranced, immersed in this fist scripture.
After a long while, the scroll closed, and the vision disappeared.
Xu Chuan finally returned from that realm of understanding.
He also learned the basic information about this fist scripture from the inheritance.
The Sun God Fist was a genuine Emperor Scripture.
It was a martial skill created by Emperor Venerate Sun, an Emperor realm expert from eight thousand years ago.
And Emperor Venerate Sun was also a Solar Sacred Body.
This fist scripture was created by Emperor Venerate Sun based on his own Solar Sacred Body.
This was why it had an inexplicable attraction for Xu Chuan.
The complete Sun God Fist was a genuine top-tier Heaven-grade martial skill.
What Xu Chuan held in his hand was only the first introductory stance.
Crimson Sun Patrols the Sky!
The subsequent stances were on higher floors of the Scripture Tower.
But even with just one stance, this fist scripture was a mid-grade Earth-grade martial skill.
After learning the origin of this fist scripture, Xu Chuan became even more certain that this was the fist scripture he wanted to choose.
"Too powerful, I like it!"
Without further hesitation, Xu Chuan eagerly began to cultivate this fist scripture.
He closed his eyes, and the figure from before reappeared in his mind.
He began to practice the first stance of the Sun God Fist repeatedly.
The first stance of the Sun God Fist emphasized momentum, using the blood and qi of the Sacred Body to unleash an invincible punch, destroying enemies in one go.
Following the figure, Xu Chuan began to practice.
Instantly, countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth surged towards Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan continuously threw punches, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as he pondered the fist intent within the first stance, Crimson Sun Patrols the Sky.
These spiritual energies of heaven and earth also continuously replenished Xu Chuan's consumption.
One punch.
Two punches.
Three punches.
...
"Crimson Sun Patrols the Sky!"
After throwing over a hundred punches, Xu Chuan suddenly let out a long roar.
He had finally mastered this stance of the fist scripture.
With one punch, a tremendous force erupted from his body, carrying infinite crimson flames.
This punch was like a volcanic eruption, like the sun appearing in the sky, patrolling the heavens and earth, sweeping out with infinite momentum.
If not for the protective formations in the Scripture Tower's cultivation chamber, the walls of the chamber might not have been able to withstand his punch.
However, the commotion Xu Chuan caused did attract someone's attention.
On the top floor of the Scripture Tower, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
The moment Xu Chuan threw his punch, he opened his eyes.
"Hmm, after several thousand years, someone has cultivated this fist technique again?"
"Interesting, interesting!"
He uttered two sentences with interest, then closed his eyes again.
The top of the tower once again fell silent.
Inside the cultivation chamber, Xu Chuan suppressed his aura.
"First stance of the Sun God Fist, mastered!"
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, tidied his clothes, and slowly walked out of the cultivation chamber.
He returned the scroll containing the 'Sun God Fist' to its place.
Under the admiring gazes of many disciples, he left the Scripture Tower.
He was not afraid of others learning this fist technique. The cultivation difficulty of this technique was immense, and most people couldn't even get started.
Attempting to cultivate it forcefully would only lead to a dead end of qi deviation.
He headed towards his cave dwelling on True Sun Peak.
He needed to rest. The physical exertion this time was minimal, but the mental exertion was considerable.
After all, it was an Emperor Scripture, containing a great deal of information.
...
Outside the Taiyi Holy Land, two uninvited guests had arrived.
One was a shifty-eyed middle-aged man, and the other was a young man wearing a green robe with a long sword on his back.
The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper, threw it into the air, and the paper quickly enlarged, completely blocking the entrance to the Taiyi Holy Land.
Only two large characters were on the paper.
A Calling Card!
"Luo Yunsheng of Yaoshan Sword Sect, with disciple Gong Lin, comes to pay respects!"
