Revisiting the Myriad Beast Catalog
When Yi Yun was in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, he obtained an ancient fragment from the best library in Tai'a Divine City. The opening of this ancient fragment was exactly the same as what was recorded in the jade slip in front of him.
In the library of Tai'a Divine City, the <Myriad Beast Catalog> only had twelve thin pages, but now, the contents of this jade slip are dozens of times more.
"So much!?"
Yi Yun gasped. He knew very well how terrifying the power of the <Myriad Beast Catalog> was. After cultivating the <Myriad Beast Catalog>, he killed a Golden Crow Remnant and from then on, he condensed the Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem.
The Golden Crow Dharma Aspect Totem possesses immense power, enabling Yi Yun to defeat Bai, the number one genius of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, and win first place in the Alliance Tournament when he was still in the Purple Blood Realm.
This golden crow Dharma Aspect Totem comes from the "Myriad Beast Catalog".
If the incomplete "Myriad Beast Catalog" possesses such immense power, then the complete version, which contains dozens of times more content than the incomplete Myriad Beast Catalog, must be incredibly powerful.
Yi Yun only pondered for a few breaths before putting the <Myriad Beast Catalog> into his pocket.
The fact that the <Myriad Beast Catalog> exists in the Empress Secret Realm is both a coincidence and not entirely unexpected.
The "Myriad Beast Catalog" collected in the Tai'a Divine City was originally an ancient fragment, so it is not surprising that it came from the era of the Ancient Empress.
It's only natural that the Empress Secret Realm, left behind by the Ancient Empress, contains all the martial arts Secret Manual in the world, including the "Myriad Beast Catalog".
Moreover, the Sword Intent displayed by the Green-robed Swordsman carrying a wine gourd, which Yi Yun had seen in the image left on the array plate, bore many similarities to the world-shaking sword marks of the Pure Yang Sword Palace. This made Yi Yun suspect that the Empress Secret Realm might be connected to the Gate of Fallen Stars.
The Tai'a Divine Kingdom was established near the Gate of Fallen Stars.
At the beginning of its founding, it was not surprising that the royal family of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom found fragments of cultivation techniques collected by the Ancient Empress in the ancient ruins near the Gate of Fallen Stars.
Regardless, Yi Yun has chosen the <Myriad Beast Catalog>.
With about half an hour left, Yi Yun sped up and browsed through all the remaining cultivation Secret Manual.
At the last moment, a Secret Manual caught Yi Yun's attention.
This is a Secret Manual of Movement Technique.
Generally speaking, the value of Movement Technique Secret Manual is not as high as that of martial arts Secret Manual or Totem Secret Method, and they are even less valuable than the moves themselves.
However, Yi Yun still chose this Movement Technique Secret Manual because it was closely related to the cultivation method Yi Yun practiced. He was sure that practicing it would be twice as effective with half the effort.
The treasures in the Empress Secret Realm were so numerous that Yi Yun never expected to find such a suitable Secret Manual for himself.
The opening of this Movement Technique Secret Manual is an introduction to the Secret Manual itself, and it is this introduction that has captivated Yi Yun.
This Secret Manual was not created by people from the world where Tianyuan Realm is located, but came from another world.
The person who created this Secret Manual was sitting quietly in the mountains late at night when he suddenly saw a golden crow flying across the sky.
The moment the golden crow appeared, the night turned into day, and the bright moon in the sky became as dazzling as the sun, hanging high in the sky.
The golden crow flew across the vast sky in an instant, finally breaking into the void and disappearing from sight.
The daylight lasted for a full hour before the light gradually faded, and the sun in the sky returned to its original state as the moon.
This scene gave the powerful being from another world many insights, which led him to seclude himself for many years and create this Movement Technique called <Golden Crow Sun-Plunder>.
Pure Yang-style Movement Technique Secret Manual are not common, and this set of Movement Technique Secret Manual can be said to have been tailor-made for Yi Yun.
This made Yi Yun sincerely sigh that the Ancient Empress's collection was too rich, with hundreds of Secret Manual, and most martial artists could find the one most suitable for them.
With both sets of Secret Manual in hand, time was almost up.
At that moment, a beam of light shone down from the dome of the God Descending Tower, and the bookshelf disappeared in the light.
Yi Yun knew that it had already hidden itself within the Illusion Formation.
Holding the two sets of Secret Manual in his hands, Yi Yun was filled with confidence. The <Myriad Beast Catalog> was a given, and the <Golden Crow Sun-Plunder> was a timely help. Yi Yun's Movement Technique were no longer outstanding; previously, with his mastery of the Subtle Movement Insight technique, no martial artist of the same realm in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom could surpass Yi Yun. However, the Subtle Movement was ultimately just a skill, and it was still somewhat inferior to the laws themselves.
Now, with the compensation from the Golden Crow Sun-Plunder, Yi Yun's Movement Technique will improve even further.
After leaving the third level of the God Descending Tower, Yi Yun did not attempt to challenge the fourth level, but instead returned to the second God Descending Tower.
The second level of the God Descending Tower is a vast, wild world.
There are plenty of wild beasts here, which he can use for combat and training.
Initially, Yi Yun only comprehended the sword path on the second level, without delving into this world or making full use of the effects of the second level of the God Descending Tower. But now, it's the perfect time.
When Yi Yun entered the third level of the God Descending Tower and selected the cultivation Secret Manual he needed.
Many people are still striving to enter the second level of the God Descending Tower.
The trials between the first and second levels of the God Descending Tower are not of fixed difficulty; the older the trial participant, the more difficult the trials they face.
Different people face different challenges, and the scenes they see are completely different as well.
The God Descending Tower is God Descending Tower for each individual; if ten thousand people enter, they will witness ten thousand different scenes.
At this moment, there is a person who is facing a trial unlike any other.
On the third floor of the God Descending Tower, in a closed space similar to yet different from the main hall where Yi Yun was, a figure dressed in pure white sat cross-legged before an ancient portrait, sitting quietly alone.
This girl was none other than Lin Xin Tong.
She was the only one among all the trial participants who was qualified to enter the God Descending Tower from the very beginning.
The portrait in front of Lin Xin Tong was hanging on a blue stone wall.
When Yi Yun arrived at the third floor of the God Descending Tower before, he had seen the same blue stone wall, which also had a painting on it.
However... the painting Yi Yun saw depicted a free-spirited Green-robed Swordsman a green robe. The swordsman in the painting had just experienced a life-or-death battle and was leaning against a tree drinking.
But Lin Xin Tong saw something different. In the same spot, the portrait she saw depicted a woman in plain clothes.
The woman's long hair flows freely, and her clothes dance in the wind. The painting only shows the back of the woman in plain clothes. She is barefoot, tiptoeing, and walking in mid-air.
Beneath her feet lay a vast, icy snowfield!
With each step the woman in white took as she descended from the air, an Ice Lotus bloomed beneath her feet.
Ice Lotus blossoms bloomed in profusion on the icy plain. Behind the woman in white, a sword floated in mid-air, seemingly possessing a spirit as it followed her.
The entire painting is done with extremely fine brushstrokes, and the woman in plain clothes is so lifelike that she looks almost real.
Lin Xin Tong closed; she had been sitting in front of this painting for a very, very long time...
