Gu Yuan was unaware that he had entered the sights of another supreme existence.
In his mind, following the thunderous roar, the cultivation method of the "Nine Heavens Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Method" began to appear.
"High above the Divine Firmament Mansion, the Palace of Concentrated Spirit and Radiant Illumination. It condenses the primordial True Qi to divide the true essence, responding to the subtle Tao of emptiness and opening up the transformations..."
A series of voices automatically played in his mind. Gu Yuan knew that these were the insights left behind by predecessors who had cultivated this method, which would be of great benefit to his own cultivation.
Di Liu, following behind, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Yuan choose the "Nine Heavens Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Method." Fortunately, it wasn't one of those obscure techniques, otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to find a teacher for it in this academy.
Furthermore, the "Nine Heavens Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Method" originated from the Divine Firmament Sect. After the Great Cataclysm, the sect left behind many inheritances, and its common martial skills were quite complete. During cultivation, one would not face situations where one part was incomprehensible and another was difficult to grasp.
Di Liu began to wait quietly for Gu Yuan to absorb the insights from the cultivation method. Half an hour later, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, and a trace of purple lightning flickered within them. This was a clear sign that Gu Yuan had already achieved initial mastery of the technique.
"How is it?" Di Liu smiled and walked up to Gu Yuan, asking.
"I feel great!" As soon as Gu Yuan finished speaking, a ball of white lightning appeared in his right hand, continuously changing shape.
Damn it, isn't this a monstrous talent? Di Liu cursed inwardly as he watched the lightning in Gu Yuan's hand.
As the Sixth Elder of the academy, how could he not recognize the sign of achieving initial mastery of a ninth-tier technique? This was a ninth-tier technique, not some common cabbage from the roadside.
You mastered it in just half an hour of standing here? Back then, I had to cultivate diligently for over half a month to barely achieve initial mastery, and I was still called a genius.
Di Liu shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts. How could he compare himself to a freak? He should quickly take him back to the dormitory and leave. Being around him made his heart race.
Afterward, Di Liu made a sweeping motion with his hand, and a blue teleportation vortex, identical to the one they entered through, appeared before them. Grabbing Gu Yuan's shoulder, his figure flickered, and they entered the blue teleportation vortex, leaving the inheritance ground of the ninth-tier techniques.
Gu Yuan felt a flash before his eyes, and he was back at Old Wang's small counter. Old Wang looked up, a kindly smile on his face, and said to Gu Yuan, "You've chosen. Good choice, you picked the Violet Firmament Divine Thunder. The power of the True Qi from this technique is considered the strongest among peers. Cultivate it well."
"Thank you, Old Wang!" Gu Yuan bowed respectfully. This was a sign of respect for Old Wang's strength. Regardless of anything else, in the path of martial arts, the one who has attained the Way is the master.
"Are you interested in learning something from me?" Old Wang also revealed his purpose. That's right, he had taken a liking to Gu Yuan's talent. He had not seen anyone so suited for his path of formations in many years.
"I wonder what Senior wishes to teach me?" Gu Yuan would not foolishly agree directly. He would not learn anything that was useless to him, and it would be a waste of his cultivation time.
"Hahaha, what I teach is what you just used." Old Wang said with a grin.
Gu Yuan's brows furrowed. What he had just used was a formation. Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect Senior to teach me formations. I am truly flattered."
"Hahaha, no need to flatter me. I am just an old man on the verge of returning to the earth. Then it's settled. If you have time, come here at two o'clock in the afternoon. I'm always here." Old Wang's laughter was clear and hearty. To be able to pass on his entire inheritance before his death would not have been a wasted trip to this world.
"Thank you, Senior!" Gu Yuan bowed respectfully again.
"Still calling me Senior!" Di Liu, standing behind, lightly kicked Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan immediately reacted and quickly corrected himself, "Thank you, Teacher."
"Good, Gu Yuan, you can go first. Come to my place when you have time. Focus on your own cultivation first, then we can talk about learning formations." Old Wang waved his hand.
Gu Yuan and Di Liu bowed and took their leave.
Exiting the Scripture Depository, Gu Yuan asked Di Liu, "Teacher Di, who is Old Wang?"
"Old Wang? Do you know about the defensive formations of the major cities?" Di Liu asked Gu Yuan in return.
"Yes, I know. They have protected humanity for many years." Gu Yuan was a little confused. Who didn't know that? Could it be?
The next moment, Gu Yuan's conjecture was confirmed as Di Liu slowly spoke, "Some of the defensive formations of the major cities were designed by Old Wang. Do you think he's powerful?"
Gu Yuan was shocked, and his heart was instantly filled with respect. If it weren't for formations, he might have died long ago.
"Also, Old Wang himself is a seventh-tier existence, and with the help of formations, he can even fight an eighth-tier cultivator without being defeated." Di Liu revealed another astonishing piece of information.
Then the teacher is like the principal, or even stronger than the principal? My heavens, I've latched onto a big shot as soon as I arrived. From now on, I'll have someone backing me up.
"I know what you're thinking. Yes, the principal actually can't defeat Old Wang." Di Liu saw through Gu Yuan's thoughts at a glance.
"Then why do you call the teacher Old Wang?" Gu Yuan asked curiously.
"This matter, let's forget it. It's in the past." Di Liu's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't show much emotion and brushed the matter aside.
Then he asked, "Gu Yuan, do you have anything else to do next? I can take you."
Gu Yuan shook his head, "No more. I need to go back to recover my condition, familiarize myself with the new cultivation method, and then break through to the True Qi realm."
Di Liu looked at Gu Yuan speaking in a nonchalant tone about something so boastful, and felt an almost irresistible urge to hit him.
Control yourself, control yourself. This is the genius I invited. If I remember correctly, Gu Yuan has only been cultivating for a few months.
How long did it take me to reach the True Qi realm? One year? Two years? Forget it, the more I think about it, the more upset I get.
Di Liu shook his head and directly grabbed Gu Yuan's shoulder, his figure instantly disappearing from the spot.
On a luxurious villa, Gu Yuan was unceremoniously dropped at the entrance. Shaking his head, which was a bit dazed from the wind, he felt that Di Liu seemed to be carrying some resentment this time, though he wasn't entirely sure.
Gu Yuan shook his head, then looked at the luxurious villa before him. This level of grandeur was similar to his villa in Zhongzhou City, and it was equally luxurious.
He walked towards the main door. Before he could even touch it, the door automatically opened. Gu Yuan entered in a daze. The interior was similar to that of Zhongzhou City, except that the cultivation room was more spacious and sturdier.
He casually closed the door. No one could enter without his permission. He couldn't guarantee that some idiot wouldn't come looking for trouble, as there were all sorts of people. It was better to be careful.
Arriving at the cultivation room, Gu Yuan slowly immersed himself in cultivation. Meanwhile, the outside world began to stir. As more and more geniuses entered the martial arts universities, an unprecedented era of great contention was dawning!
