Cultivation technique inheritances—calling them priceless treasures was no exaggeration. To keep their inheritances from leaking, many sects and forces would implement extremely strict soul brands.
Once a cultivation technique was deliberately leaked, the lighter consequence was having one's cultivation completely crippled; in severe cases, one's soul collapsing on the spot was nothing strange.
If a cultivation technique was leaked unintentionally, many sects and forces would also send experts to retrieve it. Cultivators who secretly learned another sect's techniques would basically be cut down outright.
It was just like the Endless Sea where Chen Fei had once been. Every sect and faction guarded its own techniques with extreme strictness. If you clearly knew a technique belonged to a certain sect yet still hid it away for yourself, then when it was discovered in the future, the outcome would be a fight to the death with no rest.
But from another angle, cultivation technique inheritances were sometimes rather cheap things, because they could be copied at will. Even those precious inheritance originals that contained true intent could likewise be copied.
To cultivators, cultivation technique inheritances were resources that could regenerate infinitely. Even the growth of Natural Material Treasures still required enough time and the right environment to appear, but cultivation technique inheritances could be copied endlessly.
This situation was at its most typical in the Melted Ruin Realm, because what mattered most here was wealth. As long as the money was in place, many things could happen.
Celestial Immortals and Golden Immortals could broadcast their battles with evil gods for money. The immortal cultivators below them would only go to even greater extremes for money.
Since cultivation technique inheritances could be copied and reproduced, then naturally, however many could be made would be made, maximizing their value.
