Elemental Scripture

"Gold Element—the element with the strongest offensive power. Not bad at all; it happens to be a perfect match for the swordsmanship I'm currently cultivating."

Lu Yunxiao raised two fingers slightly. Golden Dou Qi flickered at his fingertips, brimming with an indestructible sharpness.

Gold-attribute Dou Qi was inherently the most offensively powerful type of Dou Qi, while Lu Yunxiao's Innate Gold Qi had elevated that attack power to the extreme.

"I'm rather curious just how strong my combat power is now."

Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly as the Dou Qi at his fingertips dispersed. He gently closed his eyes, sensing the enormous gains brought by the unsealing of the Gold Element.

After all this time, all the Dou Qi within his body had been completely converted into Innate Gold Qi.

This pure golden Innate Gold Qi was not only more condensed and purer than his former Dou Qi, but its quality surpassed it by far.

A single strand of Innate Gold Qi was fully equivalent to several strands of his original Dou Qi.

Besides strengthening his Dou Qi, the Innate Gold Qi was also tempering his meridians, flesh, and bones. In merely this short while, he could already feel a slight improvement in his physique.

Over time, with the tempering of this Innate Gold Qi, his physique would inevitably grow even stronger.

The Gold Element was inherently the element with the strongest offensive power. If someone possessed overwhelming attack power while also having a formidable physique, such a person would be truly terrifying.

And beyond that, Lu Yunxiao had gained other benefits as well.

At the moment the Gold Element awakened, his perception had been greatly enhanced, granting him exceptional detection abilities. This was one of the innate talents brought by the Gold Element.

In battle, powerful perception allowed one to react faster and even discover an enemy's weaknesses in advance. This was equally an enormous advantage in combat.

Immersing his mind within himself, Lu Yunxiao sensed the mysteries of the Innate Gold Qi in his body and became somewhat engrossed in it.

Time slowly passed. The phenomenon caused by the unsealing of his physique gradually faded, the Golden Light filling the secret chamber slowly vanished, and the Golden Light enveloping Lu Yunxiao gradually withdrew. That incomparably cold and sharp aura also slowly dissipated. At the same time, Lu Yunxiao opened his eyes.

His black eyes gleamed brilliantly, while a sharp golden glint quietly receded into their depths.

He had completely returned to his usual calm and gentle demeanor. The only difference was the added sternness between his brows, making him appear even more heroic and decisive.

"System, extract the Elemental Scripture."

Lu Yunxiao spoke calmly, connecting with the system in his mind.

The Elemental Scripture was one of the items granted in the Beginner's Gift Pack. According to the system, it was a cultivation technique tailor-made for his Innate Elemental Physique, the method most suited to his cultivation.

Back then, he had not yet reached the Dou Zhe realm, so he had left it unused in the system. Now that he had broken through to become a Dou Zhe, it was time to cultivate it. He was very curious about just how miraculous this Elemental Scripture, so suited to him, would be and what tier it possessed.

It was not as if he expected to cultivate a Heaven-tier Cultivation Technique from the very beginning. That was unrealistic. Heaven-tier Cultivation Techniques might be incomparably powerful, but they were simply not something a Dou Zhe could cultivate.

Heaven-tier Cultivation Techniques were far too complicated and profound. For a Dou Zhe, they would do more harm than good. Only after one's strength had reached a certain level would it be the right time to cultivate a Heaven-tier Cultivation Technique.

He only hoped its tier would be somewhat higher, enough to let him grow quickly in the early stages.

As Lu Yunxiao pondered this, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the upper section of the Elemental Scripture. Grade: Mysterious-tier Mid-grade."

Lu Yunxiao: ?????

"The upper section? Is there a lower section too?" Lu Yunxiao could not help asking.

"To be precise, there is also a middle section and a lower section," the system replied flatly.

Lu Yunxiao: "..."

"Is there really a need to divide one cultivation technique into so many sections?"

Lu Yunxiao spoke irritably.

"Of course there is. The original Elemental Scripture was an Earth-tier High-grade cultivation technique. Dividing it into three sections is what best suits the Host."

"For a Dou Zhe, cultivating a Yellow-tier technique is too low-grade and will affect future potential. But Earth-tier techniques are slightly too advanced, much more profound and complicated, and are instead detrimental to cultivation. Mysterious-tier techniques are the easiest for a Dou Zhe to grasp. Not only can one keep up with their cultivation speed, but the techniques are not overly complicated, making cultivation the smoothest."

"Once your strength has grown, you can naturally switch to higher-grade cultivation techniques."

"That is how the Ancient Clans do things as well. Every one of them possesses Heaven-tier Cultivation Techniques, yet not a single person starts cultivating one from the Dou Zhe realm. Their starting techniques are also Mysterious-tier, after which they slowly switch to Earth-tier techniques, and only then to Heaven-tier Cultivation Techniques. After all, you eat one bite at a time; you cannot become fat in a single gulp."

"The Elemental Scripture is divided into upper, middle, and lower sections. The upper section alone is Mysterious-tier Mid-grade. The upper and middle sections together are Earth-tier Low-grade, while all three sections together naturally form an Earth-tier High-grade technique."

"And once the Host's strength reaches a sufficient level, the system will also provide advanced techniques for the Elemental Scripture. So cultivate without worry, Host. The system's arrangement is certainly reasonable and is all for the Host's benefit."

The system spoke earnestly.

"That does make sense." Lu Yunxiao nodded. Naturally, he possessed this much common sense. At first, he had merely been astonished that the system had split a single cultivation technique into three sections, but after the system's explanation, he understood.

"Mysterious-tier Mid-grade it is, then. At the very least, it will be more than enough from the Dou Zhe realm to the Grand Dou Master Stage."

Lu Yunxiao smiled freely, then asked, "By the way, you said there are advanced techniques above the Elemental Scripture. What techniques are those?"

He truly was quite curious about that question.

"Above the Elemental Scripture is the Elemental True Scripture. Above the Elemental True Scripture is the Elemental Immortal Scripture, and above that is the Elemental Dao Scripture. Host, you still have a long way to cultivate."

The system replied calmly.

"Hiss, now you've got my interest." Hearing the system's words, Lu Yunxiao's eyes immediately lit up.

"Then cultivate quickly, Host. Earn more achievements when you have time and complete more Check-in Missions. Sooner or later, the Host will obtain all of these cultivation techniques."

"Moreover, these techniques all originate from the same source. They are naturally compatible with the Host's physique and can help the Host utilize Elemental Power to the utmost. So, Host, work twice as hard."

"After all, that is how the system is designed: the more you work, the more you gain. How much benefit the Host can receive depends on how much the Host can achieve."

The system said warmly.

"I understand that, of course. Effort is something I have never lacked."

Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly. With a thought, the newly issued Elemental Scripture flashed through his mind. Next, he would cultivate the technique and imprint the mark of the Elemental Scripture upon the Dou Qi within his body.

This book has been signed, so everyone can follow it without worry! (^ω^)
