While filled with anticipation, he did not forget that he had yet to cultivate the supreme sacred arts corresponding to the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art.

To cultivate the technique but neglect the supreme sacred arts that accompanied it would undoubtedly make him a fool who returned the pearl but kept the box, abandoning the root to pursue the trivial.

After all, merely practicing the technique without honing his combat methods would inevitably lead to him becoming prey for others.

Not to mention, both the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art and the supreme sacred arts recorded within it were peerless treasures in this world.

Take the Myriad Transformations Sacred Art, for example. This sacred art looks down upon the ages, possessing immense power and peerless might. It can transform all secret techniques under heaven, reducing every astonishing wonder into the mundane—hence the name "Myriad Transformations." It is peerless and terrifying to the extreme.

For instance, "When a thought blooms, the world is conquered." When unleashed, one immortal flower after another blossoms, each petal crystalline and dancing in the air. Each one can transform into a true body. The phrase "When a thought blooms, the world is conquered" captures its essence perfectly. When combined with the Myriad Transformations Sacred Art, the result is truly terrifying.

Then there is the Heaven Slashing Dao, a boundless and terrifying supreme divine art belonging to the forbidden chapter of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art.

This art is the path of slashing heaven. It provides a comprehensive boost to offensive power, control, and divine strength, making one terrifying to the extreme. Various colorful rays of light erupt into thousands of immortal blades, some shaped like dragons, others like phoenixes. They disrupt the heavens and shake the earth, slashing everything they encounter and killing everything they touch! Once this art is mastered, one's combat power increases significantly. It can be used in conjunction with the origin techniques of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art, making one omnipotent and causing combat power to soar.

Qian Xunji estimated that this art was developed by the Ruthless Empress specifically to counter the "Front" character secret of the Nine Secrets.

There is also the I Am Supreme Sacred Art, and so on...

No matter which of these supreme sacred arts were brought out, any one of them would be enough to suppress an entire era!

With such peerless techniques in his hands, it would be the greatest waste of resources to leave them unlearned.

Moreover, there was so much gathered spiritual energy here; it would be a shame not to absorb it.

Waste is shameful!

Thinking this, Qian Xunji made his decision.

He would take advantage of the fact that this spiritual energy was still present and had not yet completely dissipated to learn a supreme sacred art for self-defense first.

As for which supreme sacred art to learn first?

Without a doubt, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal!

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle!

Once one reaches a certain level of understanding in the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art, one can choose to build a Great Dao Treasure Bottle within their own dantian to carry boundless mana. If the Great Dao Treasure Bottle is cultivated to perfection, it can suppress the heavens, swallow the essence of the sun and moon, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Its power is endless; it is the vessel of the "Dao," which can be used in the future to gather boundless mana and possess immense power.

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle is ancient and natural, its style not overly complex, giving one the feeling that the Great Dao is simple. It is like a vessel for the Dao, capable of suppressing the heavens and the myriad worlds, mysterious and unfathomable!

The practitioner forms the "Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal," with the mouth of the bottle located where the hands meet, swallowing the essence of the sun and moon and the energy of heaven and earth. The black-glowing Great Dao Treasure Bottle suppresses the heavens and the myriad worlds, possessing immortal power, swallowing the origin of the great world, mysterious and unfathomable—it can devour heaven and earth!

Furthermore, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle is a necessary supreme sacred art for any successor of the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art who wishes to devour the Great Dao origins of other powerhouses to forge their own supreme Chaos Body!

This is the reason why Qian Xunji was determined to learn this supreme sacred art first.

As Qian Xunji clicked on the cultivation page for the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, a vision appeared in his mind: the Empress, her hands forming the seal.

The hand seal looked simple, and the Empress formed it with ease.

Then, the next moment, wisps of black light overflowed from her crown, forging a treasure bottle above her head.

This treasure bottle shimmered with black light, flowing with the rhythm of the Dao, looking ancient and natural.

The style of the treasure bottle was very simple, like a vessel of the Great Dao, as if it could suppress the heavens and the myriad worlds, mysterious and unfathomable.

Qian Xunji knew that this was the Great Dao Treasure Bottle! The vessel of the "Dao," which he could use in the future to gather boundless mana!

Seeing this, he simply followed suit, imitating the Empress's movements and forming the seal with his hands.

Unfortunately, this supreme sacred art was not so easy to learn.

Nothing happened when he formed the seal.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji did not feel discouraged; after all, such a result was normal.

If a supreme sacred art like the Great Dao Treasure Bottle were that easy to learn, it would have long since flooded the Shrouding the Heavens world, with everyone having a copy.

Thinking this, he took a sip of the Divine Spring to moisten his lips and continued to form the seal, mimicking the Empress.

Failure... continue... failure... continue...

Qian Xunji seemed not to know the meaning of the word "give up," constantly observing the Empress and learning her movements...

During this process, the essence of the sun and moon in the sky, the concentrated spiritual energy in the secret room, and the Divine Spring in the Jade Pure Bottle all turned into rivers flowing into his body, causing his body to constantly flash with divine radiance, his crystalline, jade-like skin being repeatedly tempered.

Unknowingly, as Qian Xunji opened and closed his eyes, they actually carried faint golden glimmers, indescribably eerie, like an ancient demon god—wicked, charming, and wild.

I do not know how much time passed, but Qian Xunji's absorption of spiritual energy suddenly stalled, and the space behind him suddenly twisted and darkened, diffusing ripples of black.

Within those ripples, a treasure bottle composed entirely of Great Dao runes, with a ghost face depicted on its surface, quietly emerged in the void behind him.

At first, it was not very clear, but then it became increasingly solid.

Finally, it transformed into an ancient and natural black bottle, spinning as it hovered above his head, emitting an incomparably profound aura, its black light captivating the soul.
